During the three weeks leading up to the party, I was either with pap's and metta, getting our costumes ready and rehearsing the scene, or I was with Nate making sure that all the cameras were set up to record the scene for the live stream.
"OK, looks like we're all set for tomorrow night. We got the stationary cameras, the ones for the tracking shots, we got snow, charming, I'm the bishop, um... We got dogamy and dogaressa as the guards that run at the evil queen, we got the evil queen, the bone sword. Him... Why do I feel like we're missing something? "Nate said going down the list.
"because we are missing something, the valet. "I replied advantages eyes got huge.
"how the hell are we going to pull that off, everyone already has a part and scene for the party. "he replied starting to freak out a bit.
"not everyone. "I said mysteriously
"who? "he asked confused.
"my dad. He never remembers when there is a party. "I answered
"really he's done this before? "he asked
"yep, asgore would hold festivals a couple times a year and sans and I would have to drag him from the lab to go. "I explained as we left the ballroom which was decorated to look like an exact replica of the ballroom from the opening scene from once upon a time, headed to the elevator, that Nate was going to take to the floor his family was staying at, till after the party.
"well good luck then. "he said as he got on the elevator and I turned to leave the compound and headed to the lab in the monster village.
Once the lab was in view, I noticed two figures standing in front of it, sans and undyne. The knowing smirk that first appeared on my face when the lab came into view, grew as I neared, taking notice of the twin exasperated looks on sans and undyne faces.
"ya know, if I wasn't already your twin sans, if think undyne was. "I said chuckling when they jumped at he sound of my voice.
"ha ha ha, very funny sis. "sans dryly said as I stopped next to them.
"what bring you here punk? "undyne asked
"probably the same reason your here. "I replied as they nodded in agreement.
"are you really surprised, that once again we have to pull dad from the lab, and get him ready for the party. "I said as we walked into the lab, to get gaster and alphys.
"what about the scene thing stark wants us to do? "sans asked knowing that there wasn't enough time to get dad to remember a whole scene in less that a day.
"don't worry, I got that covered. Turns out I'm missing a character for the scene I'm doing with pap's and metta. All he needs to remember is two simple lines. "I answered as we walked in to the room that gaster and alphys were holed in, undyne picking alphys, holding her under her right arm, while sans and I grabbed one of gaster's arms in ours and dragged him from his seat, and out of the lab.
Once we were put of the lab, we dragged dad to mettaton's house. "hey metta, I know this is last minute, but anyway you can make a costume for dad? "I asked when we walked into mettas house dropping dad on one of the chases.
"well, I can't make a new one for him, but I have a costume that might work. I noticed after our last rehearsal that we didn't have someone to play the valet, and I remembered papyrus telling me that when he was younger you and sans would have to pull gaster from the lab for the festivals that asgore three. "he explained as he went into his sewing room.
"heh, great minds think a like. "I said as he returned with the costume, while was a black prince costume.
"put it on, then we're practicing your lines. "I ordered as gaster Slunked off like a little kid that got in trouble.
It was the day of the party, and I let it be known that in no uncertain terms, that I was to be disturbed while I was getting ready. I decided to go to my old floor in the compound just to make doubly sure. I grabbed grabbed a towel after placing my make up on my vanity, before grabbing my phone and heading to the en suite bathroom. As I waited for the water to heat up I pulled up, I feel pretty from west side story. "Friday, could you connect my phone to the bathroom speakers? "I asked the ai as I stepped into the shower.
"of course miss serif. "Friday answered as I let the warm spray hit my back, before turning my front towards the water. I felt the two souls flutter as the spray hit them, it felt as if the spray was tickling them.
"heh heh, are you two enjoying that? "I asked them as I heard the pop of a speaker, before the first notes of I feel pretty played.
I moved my head back, to wet my hair as the beginning interlude played.
"I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pitty
Any girl, who isn't me tonight. "I started singing, the two souls fluttering in time with the song, as I shampooed my hair.
"I feel charming,
Oh, so charming,
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty,
That I hardly can believe I'm real. "I continued as I rinsed the shampoo out of my hair, before running conditioner through it.
"see the pretty in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be,
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me! "I placed a dollop of body wash onto my aqua poof, before I started washing my feet.
"I feel stunning,
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy! "as the last line was sung, I froze as a hazy memory of ice skating with a person in red came to my mind, I couldn't remember the face, but the feeling of being loved was there.
"have you met my good friend maria,
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her,
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock.
She thinks she's in love,
She thinks she's in Spain.
She isn't in love,
She's merely insane.
It must be the heat,
Or some rare disease,
Or to much to eat,
Or maybe its fleas.
"keep away from her,
Send for chino.
This is not the,
Maria we know!
Modest and pure,
Polite and refined,
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind! " I sang as I finished washing myself, before I rinsed my hair.
"I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me it's key.
A committee
Should be organized to honor me. "I shut the water off, wrapping myself in the towel to dry off.
"la, la, la, la... "I sang as I wiped the fog from the mirror.
"I feel dizzy,
I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty,
Miss America can resign!
La, la, la, la...
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
What mirror where?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Which? What? Where? Whom? " I sang to my reflect on, a giddy smile on both our faces, as I thought about the party.
"such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning,
And entrancing,
Fell like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a wonderful boy! "once again as I finished the line, I had a flash of a memory, this time, I was sitting with the person in red watching horror movies.
My forehead scrunched a bit from concentrating, as I tried to remember the face of the person in red.
"damn. I wish I could remember who that person is. "I muttered to myself, shaking my head.
"oh, well... Now let's get to work. "I said with a determined nod of my head, before dropping my towel and walking to my closet to grab the costume I was wearing to the party. It was designed to look like the dress Regina wore when she crashed snow's wedding, only with a few changes, the main dress was a blood red and reached the floor, the outer layer that covered my arms remained the original black color, staying a solid black until it reached my his where it then turned to a sheer black fabric, that flared out on either side of my thighs.
When I was finished putting on the dress, I walked over to my floor length mirror and looked myself over, "god, I love being bad. "I said jutting my his out to one side, before turning with a swish of the outer layer and walked over to my vanity, where I preceded to brush my hair, before throwing it into a top knot. When that was done I summoned a pair of magic hands, to carefully thread my hair through the matching headpiece, once in place I curled the hair that would sit on my shoulders. I the added the finishing touches with a deep red lipstick, and black eye shadow in a cats eye style.
"perfect. "I said when I took a look at the finished product, before leaving my room to go to the hallway that I would do the intro to the live stream at.
I was in position for the intro, bathed in the shadows where the only thing that could be seen were my Carmine eye lights.
"hello fellow undergroundians, it's me sable sorry for hiding in the shadows for this intro, but I want my outfit to be a surprise. We also decide that for this live stream we would give one of our favorite otp a once upon a time theme so with that."I started changing my voice to have more of a mystical air to it as I continued, "there was an enchanted Forest filled with all the classic characters that we know. Or think we know. One day they found themselves trapped in a place where all their happy endings were stolen. Our world. This is how it happened... "I finished, before switching the feed over to the cameras in the ballroom. I then stepped out of the shadows before taking my place by the main doors.
I watched on board as Mettaton dresses in a wedding dress that looked like the skirt was puked on by chickens, his hair was under a black wig that was piled on top of his head with small white flowers in it. He was standing next to classic papyrus, who was in a metallic dark gray shirt, with black trousers and matching boots, he had a white sash that started at his right hip before going up over his left shoulder where it flared our into a cape.
My eye lights slanted right as I saw Nate, who was in a tan plaid button up shirt, tan pants, plain sneakers, with a dark blue coat that his most of the red and great scarf, the thing that held the look together for some reason was the huge leather book he held in his right arm. He walked up to the gazebo that was in the middle of the room, while I scanned the crowd once more trying to find my doll. My eyes were brought back to the middle of the room when I heard Mettaton say, "do you promise? "
"I do. "papyrus replied a soft smile appearing on his face.
"and do you snow white, promise to take this man to be your husband and love him for all eternity? "Nate asked his voice echoing in the now silent room.
"wait. Are they actually getting married? "boss asked me as we noticed that the other monsters had a similar confused look on their faces.
"don know. "I replied as we looked back the the couple in the middle.
"I do. "metta said a similar smile to papyrus on his face.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. "Nate said as the room erupted in applause, while Mettaton and papyrus leaned into kiss.
As Nate said the vows I stepped in front of the door, when he pronounced them husband and wife I lifted my hand up to the middle of my chest, counted to five and flicked both wrists sending a wave of gravity magic throwing the doors open.
"sorry I'm late. "I said as I stalked towards the happy couple. Dogamy and dogaressa dresses as guards ran towards me in an attempt to stop me, I sent them flying with a swish of my hands.
"it's the queen run. "Clint dressed as doc said taking a few steps toward metta, who drew the bone said from papyrus hip, pointing the end at me.
"she's not queen, not anymore. She's nothing more that an evil witch. "metta snarled as pap's grabbed his hand pointing the end to the floor, before saying, "no, no, no. Don't stop to her level. There's no need. "
Pap's then turned his head towards me, giving me a you will not harm him look.
"you're wasting your time. You've already lost. And I will not let you ruin this wedding. " pap's snarled, sounding identical to fell, causing everyone watchings eyes to widen.
"oh, I haven't come here to ruin anything. On the contrary dear, I've come to give you a gift. "I said in a tone of mock kindness.
"we want nothing from you! "metta exclaimed fear in his eyes.
"but you shall have it. "I snarled, turning around with a swish of fabric, as I started to walked the around the crowd, my hips swaying as I continued,
"my gift to you is this happy, happy day. "my voice dipped into a disgusted snarl.
"but tomorrow, my real work begins. "my Carmine eyes slanted to metta and pap's.
"you've made your vows, now I make mine. Soon everything you love, everything all of you love, "I said sweeping my right hand index finger pointed out, over the crowd.
"will be taken from you, forever. And out of your suffering, will rise my victory. "I said completing my circle around the crowd to stand in front of metta handclaps once more, an evil smirk on my face as I leaned towards them.
"I shall destroy your happiness, if it is the last thing I do. "I snarled malice in my voice, turning on my heel in a swish of fabric as I stalked to the door.
"HΣΨ! "pap's yelled, causing me to stop and turn to face him again, as he threw the sword at me, just as it looked like the sword was going to pierce me, I flicked my left wrist causing both the sword and I to vanish in a puff of smoke.
When the last bit of smoke disappeared, the lights on the far side of the room little up, the bone still on it's trajectory, hit the wall, followed by me taking a few steps as gaster stepped up to me holding a silver tray, with a goblet filled with aired liquid.
"would you like a drink? "he asked lifting the tray towards me.
"do I look like I need a drink? "I bit back, flipping my hair over my left shoulder as I looked at gaster.
"I was only trying to help. "he replied offering me the drink once more.
"thank you. "I said as I grabbed the goblet and took a sip, while the lights faded. The room erupted in thunderous applause as gaster, and myself walked over to metta, pap's and Nate, when the lights came on again we all took a how as tony walked over to where we were a mic in his hand.
"well, now that the last of the scenes have been preformed, let's party. "tony said as we walked off into the crowd, the whole room coming to life.
