***Hello, everyone! Wow, has it been a hot minute since I've written Undertale fanfiction... anyways, this whole thing is actually a request of me by Kender20. So the idea belongs to them, all characters belong to Toby Fox, and let's go!

Prologue: Critical Accident

"So, we're set for Friday the third, then? Yes, next month. Alright... yes... yes... okay... okay, I'll mark my calender. Goodbye, darling."

And after that, Mettaton EX hung up. He let his excitement finally take over, beaming at those around him who were on their feet.

Those people were Shyren, Napstablook, and Alphys. Undyne also lived with them, but seeing as she was more invested in rewatching Cowboy Bebop, Mettaton didn't feel like really including her.

"Blooky, Shyren, we have a concert date!" he exclaimed with a happy squeal. Shyren gasped, and even Napstablook managed a small smile. For weeks out of the six months monsters had been on the surface, Mettaton had been trying to get a concert booked.

After running a YouTube channel successfully and having to undergo repairs to heighten his nerve stimulations, allowing him to change clothes, eat, and make him waterproof (all for the simple sacrifice of his Classic form!), he had finally booked his first real concert.

"Th-that's amazing! We should c-celebrate!" Alphys exclaimed, smiling. "Order a pizza, I'm in the middle of watching something important," Undyne chimed in, more focused on what she was watching.

Mettaton rolled his eyes. "Let's just order some food and binge tonight, darlings. It's a special occasion. I'll go pick it up," he said, grabbing a notepad.

"I don't want anything..." Napstablook said, for he couldn't eat. Mettaton hugged him, immune to the chill touching his cousin sent down his body by now. "Then I"ll listen to all of those new tracks you've made tonight," he said.

That brought another one of those rare smiles to Napstablook's face. "That sounds good, I guess..."

XxX

Mettaton decided to walk around town to get the food for everyone. Undyne and Alphys had opened up their fairly spacious apartment (gold meant a lot in the human world, the monsters quickly discovered) to Mettaton, Napstablook, and Shyren. Undyne had only lost her temper with Mettaton a time or two, but since just a few punches had been thrown, it was alright.

Mettaton had a massive smile on his face as he walked around town, picking up dinner for everyone. He stopped for a few pictures with people who recognized him from his YouTube channel.

With each fan, he shared the news of his first concert. To his delight, they almost all said that they would try to get tickets. As he picked up all of his food and crossed through the streets, it felt like nothing could have gone wrong. It seemed like everything was coming up his way, after so much effort and work.

Thoughts like these only lasted until Mettaton crossed the street and was hit dead-on by a drunk driver.

***Yep. I'm leaving you on that. Be sure to leave a review on the way out, and I'll see you all in the next one! Bye!
