A low "ooo-ing" sound could be heard from the large laboratory to the left of you as you faced an obstacle blocking your way. You faced upwards towards the two large armored monsters as they looked over you. You continued to stare as they stood motionless, never moving an inch as they watched you from behind their helmets. Their armored bodies took so much space of the small walkway towards the elevator that you couldn't find a space to shimmy through. Remembering your previous timeline encounter with RG1 and RG2, you slowly raised your hand to reach towards the armored dragon's pectoral muscle, in an attempt to wipe off the cooling dirt on it.

The large armored rabbit quickly swiped your hand before you could reach his partner. "Like hands off!" You retracted your hand, before attempting to reach the dragon monster once more. Again and again, you stared at the two armored monsters, as your hand was continually swatted away as you tried to reach the armored chest plate that belonged to RG2; that housed those large pectoral muscles that tempted you to play with as if they were drums and that your hands couldn't stay away from.

"Frisk!" After the umpteenth time, Flowey had had enough of your stupid antics. The little flower's voice snapped you out of your trance, drawing your attention away from the Royal Guards. "Seriously, how long are you going to keep that up!?"

"The elevator is just on the other side. I just have to..." Flowey's forehead vein began to pulse as he noticed your hand slowly trying to reach out again! He snatched your hand before it got any closer, pulling it away with his vine.

"Quit it! Just find another way!"

"The next elevator is pretty far."

"It's better than being stupid!" With a heavy sighed, you resigned your fruitless attempt to pass the Hotland's Royal Guards. The heat around you becoming unbareable for you, you removed your jacket and tied it around your waist. Slapping your cheeks, you pumped yourself up. Not that you mind going the long way, just that you needed to reach that first elevator to insert a key that Alphys had given you. While you where riding down into the true lab, Alphys being ever so nervous, had tripped a wire that ran along her main computer which made it impossible to reactivate the elevators. The only way to fix it was the insertion of the override key to the L1 elevator. Your plan to reach the end of hotland as quickly as possible unraveled as you walked through the lab. At least now there's a better chance that you might meet a certain robot you had wanted to see before reaching the end.

The collected sounds of the Amalgamates as they slowly shoved their food into their mouths left a chilling crawl throughout your body. The indescribable sounds of their oozing bodies trying to consume the food before them left you wanting to drown it out in any manner. Looking towards Alphys as she quietly stared at her patients, you found it hard to read her expression with her glasses fogged up.

"Alphys?"

"Yes?" Almost as of she was in a trance, she had answered you. You wondered what turmoil was running through her mind as her blank gaze continue to fall upon her patients.

"Can I ask you a favor?" She absent mindedly nodded, never leaving her gaze away from the Amalgamates. "It's about Mettaton."

"M-Mettaton!?" Saying the robot's name had snapped her from whatever weird trance she was in. "W-what about M-M-Mettaton?"

"Are you scared to finish his new body?"

"S-scared!?" Alphys' nervous quake caused her glasses to slide down. Pushing them back up, she stammered to avoid the question. "I-I'm sorry. I d-don't know what you're talking about!" Her voice squeaking near the end. Sweat dripped from her forehead and her hands became clammy as you continued to stare at her with your blank expression. "Ah-hah...I-I w-well... I m-mean..."

"Stare..."

"I-I.."

"Stare..."

"N-no no, of c-course n-not..."

"Stare..."

"I-I j-just..." unable to handle your constant staring, she blew into a long tangent on how she meet Mettaton when he was a ghost through a Human Fan club. On how she cherished her friendship with him, but was afraid that he might leave her as soon as his dream body was created. Exhausted from bursting out, Alphys found herself gasping to catch her breath.

"Alphys..." placing both of your hands on either side of her face, you gently pulled her head up to look at you. With a gentle smile, you assured her that that would not be the case. Promising her that Mettaton wouldn't leave her like that. That very soon, she will see that she wasn't really alone and all she had to do was step out of her lab. That she even had a friend in you. Someone who would never forget someone like her and leave her alone.

Alphys eyes shimmered as the warmth of her magic filled her cheeks. Blushing at both your words and the warmth of your hands and smile, you let her go. Alphys readjusted her glasses and told you to wait in the break room while she went to retrieve something. Scurrying off, you waited for her to return. As you stared at the Amalgamates finishing their meals, you hoped that she didn't take too long. Something about the smell of chlorine and iodine in the air was very uncomfortable for you.

"Water submersion complete."

"Tolerance towards electric shock complete."

"Flame test complete."

"Pupil dilation, cyanosis, shortness of breath, and convulsions no longer occur during increase doses."

"Sensory tolerance towards pain complete."

"Subject's body has started creating antibodies to combat the injected diseases."

"Skin grafting in progress to replace all burnt and dead cells... semi complete, small scaring remains, previous scarring of mistreatment remain."

"F-Frisk..."

"Over all testing complete."

"Subject 69912 has completed it's evaluation. Assigning subject to the final level of the GM Lab in the morning."

"C-can you h-hear me?"

"Once settled amongst the other completed subjects, begin testing the correlation between the color of the eye's limbus with the subjects overall main quality."

"Frisk?!"

Alphys voice pierced through your mind, causing your relapse of your past to disintegrate. Shaking your head, you calmed your nervous and worried friend with a smile. Calming her, she then placed a pink mechanical shaped heart onto your hand.

Reaching towards the other side of the lab, you made your way through the various puzzles until you reached blue tiled floors. All the lights where on but there where no signs of the MTT bots with their spot lights and cameras overhead. Your steps echoed across the titled floor as you grew closer to a large metallic rectangle that stood in the middle of the room. Flowey noticing this, he stretched a bit to hide behind you.

"Mettaton?"

"Hmm?" Mettaton answered as he turned around. "Well if it isn't the human that foiled all my new T.V specials."

"Sorry about that." You guiltily shrugged. Seeing how you already helped Alphys with her problems, she no longer needed to continue with the plan she had created with Mettaton.

"Don't worry about it darling. I'm just glad Alphys is finally out if that dingy little hole she created herself. But now I'm stuck with nothing to perform for my wonderful viewers." Flowey stiffened when he noticed your head tilt to the side. He could literally feel your mind working on a way to help.

"Friiiiisk...don't you dare!" He loudly whispered.

"Oh woe is me, what am I to do?" He dramatically sighed while draping his hand over his forehead.

"I can help you."

"Gahh! You idiot! We don't have time for this!" Flowey shouted as he came out of his hiding place. Spotting the sentient flower, Mettaton rolled closer to you.

"Oh my, if it isn't dear little Flowey. Now, what are you doing latched onto the darling human? Last I heard, Alphys had plans to deliver you to the king. Well, that is until you made your little escape."

"Shut it you over pampered tin can! You know what!? Do whatever you want, I don't care!" Flowey unlatched himself from your arm and started crawling towards a loose tile. "He's an idiot. You're an even bigger idiot for helping. This whole thing is just plain stupid!" He mumbled as he picked up the loose tile up. Planting his roots into the dirt, you shaped your hands into the shape of a heart. He glared at you before slamming the the blue tile down, disappearing from the scene.

"I love you Flowey~" You shouted at the space he used to be. After a short moment of waiting, the blue tile slowly opened revealing Flowey's full blown red face peaking out.

"Idiot." He grumbled the insult half-heartedly and closed the tile above him leaving both you and Mettaton giggling at his antics.

"Now darling, how are you planning to save my ratings?" Mettaton placed his hand on what you can only guess was his hip. Placing your hand under your chin, your mind started to reel on how to help the metal star. As the seconds went by, the chill in your chest became more pronounced. You rested your hand over it, gripping onto your worn out shirt.

How long do I have...

Before there's nothing left...

Determined to reach the end would be for nothing if you didn't try your hardest to mend everything you had broken. Looking upon Mettaton as he waited patiently for your response, a smile crept on your face. "Mettaton before we start, why don't you check out that mirror behind you first." His face lit up and wasted no time to turning his back towards you. Eyeing the large switch, you flicked it before he could have the chance to turn around.

"Did... you just... flip my switch?" His metal body shook and trembled before bursting into a large cloud of steam. Being so close, the steam threaten to blow you away, but you kept your feet planted firm onto the ground. "Oh yes~" numerous Mtt bots surrounded the area, placing spot lights above as the steam lifted from the foreground. Under the shining production lights, Mettaton Ex emerged sticking a pose to sentuate his new body. "Oh darling, I had no clue you were desperate to see me in my new body. But I must say that you defiantly know how to flip a man's switch."

With a flirty smile, you placed your hand on your hip. "I can do much more than that."

{What!}

Hmm? What's wrong?

{What the hell do you mean by that!?}

Oh! That I have his heart in my hand.

{What the fuck is wrong with you!!??}

Arguing with Chara, you failed to notice Mettaton had walked closer towards you until he gently grabbed your chin with his metal hand. His eyelids became heavy as they lowered over his luminescent pink eyes. His gaze searching your face as a flirty smile filled his face, only making his new robotic face even more handsome then before. His thumb slowly traced your bottom lip, "and pray tell me what it is that you can do?" His voice came out in a deep silk tone that was only ment for you to hear.

Matching his smile you let your voice follow the same rhythm as his. "That I can give you a new heart." Mettaton's arm drop to his side as his eyes open wide. Confused by what you had ment, he stood before you dumbfounded. Which gave you enough time to search up through your pocket to retrieve the mechanical heart Alphys had given you. Carefully withdrawing it, you held the heart out to him with both hands. "Alphys made you this. It's a new battery for your new body so that it wouldn't burn out like the one you have now."

Mettaton was speechless as he stared at the small pink mechanical heart in your hand. So many question ran through his mind that he couldn't find the words to express how much this ment for him. "Alphys was meaning to give you this, but couldn't find the right time to give it to you. The battery will keep your body cooled down, so there's no worry of you reheating. There's enough energy in there to last you a few days without worrying about recharging it. The recharge time is even faster, so there's also that." You finished off with one of your cheeky smile.

It was hard to refrain from smiling, for every part of his body was just screaming out to kiss that silly, bright, warm smile right off your face. For his whole dream was to have a body that he could happily show off, to show how much of a star he really is. Having made friends with the sheltered scientist, they both helped each other out to start off their dreams. But because of scientist's insecurity, his dream was put on hold. Who would have guessed that a random human filled with so much mercy in their heart could help his dream start up again. Cupping his new heart, the pink hue luminated his face, giving his handsome feature a warm glow.

"Thank you, human." Standing up straight, he snapped his finger, calling for the MTT robots to surround him. The bots rained down a heavy fog on him, giving him a full cover in which he could change his batteries in private. Tossing away his old battery, you manage to catch it before it shattered onto the ground. When the new one was placed, the pink heart's light grew brighter, sending energy through out his body. You pocketed the old metal heart, since it would be a shame to be rid of it. "Now darling, what other tricks do you have in that pretty head of yours? For I, the new and fully fabulous Mettaton, is ready to hear it all."

You knew you really didn't have time to waste, except you couldn't help but want to help out the robotic monster. Even though the plan you had concocted in that silly head if yours was going to take quite a lot of your time. After conveying the plan to Mettaton, he was over the moon and back. Estactic about your idea about going along with the original schedule programming with a few modification to accentuate his new body. But he did have one suggestion to make. "I'm sorry, but those clothes won't do. Can't have you dressed in..." he said as he lifted the hem of your jacket between the tips of his finger. Looking at your clothes disappointingly, he released your clothes and hurriedly wiped his hands. "...that. Don't you worry I can fix this right awa- hmm?"

You placed your hand on top of his before he could snap his fingers to summon the MTT bots. Not that you hated the idea of acquiring new clothes, you just didn't want to get rid of the one you had on. Flowey must have gone through a lot of trouble to getthem for you and you didn't want to be ungrateful. Just imagining that that little flower sulking through trash to pick the clothes that could fit you, brought a small smile to your face. "Thank you, but... I'd like to keep these on."

The warmth from your hand, the gentleness of your smile, stirred something inside the robot's body. Smiling to himself he patted your head. "Don't worry darling..." In quick swing of his arm, he pulled your body to his side. Snapping his finger, numerous bots came buzzing by carrying multiple number of fabrics. "I'll just have to create a single piece that can easily cover them. Simple but still fabulous!!" Spinning your body away from him, he stepped away leaving you to the mercy of his MTT bots. As you continued to spin like a top with your arms out, the MTT bots surrounded you and started the speedy process of creating you the outfit for first of many programs waiting for you.

Coming to a stop from your spinning, you wobbled around until you could stand properly. Looking downat yourself, you noticed that you where wearing an oversized white chef outfit with glittery pink trimmings and a MTT logo on the chest pocket. Even thought the thin piece of clothing was over what you were currently wearing, you liked how it felt. Taking your hand into his own, he slowly turned you around to get a better view around you. "Not as good as I hoped, but it would have to do." He sighed. Grabbing your chin, he pulled you close, "Are you ready darling?" Smiling your cheesy grin of yours, you gave him a sharp nod. "Good. Now let the show begin!!!"

At his remark, all the bots left the kitchen in a bright light that blinded you. Covering your face with your arm, you waited until your vision returned. When it did, you found yourself all alone in the middle of the kitchen set. The MTT bots where ready with their cameras and holding a large cue card.

(Darling, when you're ready, my precious little bots will display what you need to do Good luck!! )

Taking a deep breath, you stood straight and readied for the first cue card. Hurriedly, the MTT bots holding a marker, scrambled to erase and rewrite your first task. Throughout the "Cooking with a Killer Robot" segment, you found yourself mostly pointing and clapping anytime the MTT instructed you to do so. Fairly easy sinceall you had to do was follow Mettaton's lead as he tried his best to look glamorous at all moment.

Even when doing the simplest task as cracking eggs, which involved him to stretch out on top of the kitchen counter and his bots mostly recording his legs. Near the end, when it was time to take your soul for the cake, Mettaton had taken out his chainsaw. All you had to do was try to back away until your back was against the wall while the bots hidden underneath the tile tried to make you slip. In which Mettaton would dramatically throw away the chainsaw in favor of catching you before you could get a chance to fall.

As his arm held on tight around your waist, the MTT bots filmed Mettaton's expression as he acted the scene with a handsomely worried expression. "Dear Assistant... are you alright?" Music played in the background and before you could even check on the bots behind Mettaton to see if you where supposed to say anything else, the lights went off. Ending the scene.

"Darling Frisk!" Letting you go, he let out a pose which involved embracing himself with flowers shining behind him. "I must say that was an absolute beautiful performance! Of course with me being in the shot, I could make anyone look absolutly wonderful!"

"It was stupid! That's what that was!" Looking down, you noticed that the voice came from Flowey peaking from under one of the blue tiles. "What did all of that had to with cooking?" While Mettaton went over to antagonize the spying flower by claiming that he must have secretly watched the whole thing beacuse he was a fan; the MTT bots had started spinning you once more to remove the outfit that they had created for you.

As you stumbled around once more, your phone began to ring. Answering your phone, the voice on the other end of the receiver boomed loudly enough that left your hair blowing wildly from the impact.

"HUMAN!!! WHERE ARE YOU!! I'M SO WORR- NYHEEE!!! SANS!!! THEY'RE SLIME IS...H..HEL...FRI..." with a puzzled looked you stared at your phone as the only sound you could hear was a strange gurgling sounds of dogs barking.

"Oh my, I wonder what that was about?"

"Endogeny?" Mentioning the doglike Amalgamate, Mettaton let out a loud gasp.

"That's perfect!!" Squishing your cheeks between his hands, his face lit up by a sudden realization. "We could make an excellent fluff piece! What's more heart warming than to be reunited with your loved one after a long period of time and not only that but an added bonus, the reaction of seeing how drastically they had changed. It's heartwenching! It's shocking! The drama! It's perfect for MTT News! And I know the perfect person to help me make such an announcement!!" Letting you go, he spun you around again and he snapped his finger calling the MTT bots.

For once, you where glad you hadn't had anything to eat that morning because you're not sure how your stomach would have reacted to all the spinning you were doing. "Frisk! Tell him no! You already help him with this stupid show!!" Flowey changed his glare towards the robotic monster, "Do you know how long it took us to get this far!!? There's no way she's going to go all the way back for some stupid-" Mettaton, bored by the flower's little rant, closed the blue tile down on him. As the MTT bots finished with your new clothes, Mettaton placed a finger on top of your head to stop your spinning. Approving your outfit, he carried your body under his arm and blasted away from the kitchen set.

He carried you all the way past the lab and set you on top of the Riverperson's boat. He stuck a small antenna on top of your head which caused a duo of MTT bots to follow you as you sailed down the river. The sound of water breaking away from the boat filled your ears. Letting out a long sigh, you relaxed as the Riverperson hummed his little song. No matter how much progress you tried to make, you always managed to wonder back. You stared at your reflection on the water surrounding the boat. Opening your eyes slowly, you found that you couldn't see the brown hues that usually waited for you there. Instead there was a bright red glint that cast your face in a paler light.

Shaking your head, you closed them once more and ignored the cold feeling in your chest. You didn't have enough time, but even so...you just wanted but a few more moments. Faces of the various friends that you hold dear to your heart, flashed through your eyes. The way they smiled, the way they laughed, even the way their faces would change color from embarrassment. Looking back at your reflection, you could find yourself smiling for once. Because instead of seeing your own or even Chara's, you could see theirs. As the boat slowed to a stop, the Riverperson informed you of your stop in Waterfall. You gave them a small bow before leaving.

Hearing Mettaton's voice through the small bots, you learned that the only thing you had to do was find the Amalgamates. Walking through Waterfall once more, you could hear the small chimes of Shyrens signing. Peeking around a large boulder, you spotted Lemon bread. The cameras fluttered around you as you smiled at the touching scene you saw in front of you. For both sisters where crying as they held onto each other, singing their hearts out. Walking towards them, you excused yourself before asking them if it was ok to film them. Noticing the MTT bots behind you, the Shyrens agreed.

During your whole trip through Waterfall and Snowdin, all you had to do was search the different Amalgamates as the MTT followed your lead to record them. Scene after scene, Mettaton would report how every monster was happy to have their family back, even if they where different then they remembered. For they would battle any bad experience if it ment they could be together. As much as it helped the ratings to film the heartwarming reunion, Mettaton found his gaze always falling back to that smile of yours. For every time you came upon an Amalgamate, you would always smile so happily before confronting them.

It baffled him how you could show so much warmth towards creatures you barely knew. He knew there was a reason why he found humans so fascinating and it could be that he could never predict them. Besides the warm feeling in his soul that he wasn't sure he would ever feel again, he did found a new sensation he never knew he could feel. A sudden sharpness that appeared when he viewed through the camera lens. After you had saved Papyrus and Sans from being consumed by Endogeny, he saw how the three of you seemed so close. The way Papyrus held you in his arms as he cried his sockets off, thanking you for saving him. Especially the gentle way Sans kept staring at you while his brother spun you around.

Unable to stop himself, his voice blared through the speakers of the MTT bots. The abrupt noise caught the attention of the brothers. Clearing his voice, he calmly told you that there wasn't enough time and you still had to record the Snowdrake family. His bots even started pushing you through the door until Sans stopped them with a small wave of his hand. Smiling innocently, he was left with the bots while Papyrus carried you outside.

"HUMAN, ARE YOU REALLY OKAY? YOU'RE NOT IN ANY DANGER ARE YOU?" Papyrus continued searching around your body for any signs of any recent harm. You merely laughed at how silly he was acting. Playfully hitting him on his humerus, you told him to quit it that you were fine. It seems that he found out that your items went missing and believed something must have happened to you since he didn't see you when everyone finally recovered from their magical hangovers. You assured him that everything was fine, just that you were steadily making your way to meet Asgore. But no matter how much you tried smiling at him that everything was going to be okay, it didn't erase the worry that showed on his face.

In a sudden movement Papyrus pulled you into an embrace. His voice fell into a small whisper as he held your head close to his armored chest. "Human... Be Careful..." He then lowered his head and placed a placebo kiss on top of your head. The small action lefta tenderness feeling to envelope you that made you wish to bury yourself in. But all too soon, Papyrus ended the hug and went back inside the house.

While you were outside with Papyrus, Sans was busy interrogating Mettaton. "care to explain why your buzzing around the kid?"

"I have no idea what you implying."

"so swarming around her like a mosquito trying to prey on its next victim isn't unusual to you?"

"Oh! That's a good one! Sans you should really save your act for when your working at my resort." Mettaton wanted to making it as subtle as possible that Sans shouldn't test him so easily, especially when he was providing work for him. Besides what business did he have to butt in on what he and you had plans for. Hearing the taller skeleton open the door, Mettaton's duo bots went back to your side. Walking away from the brothers, Mettaton saw how Sans was about to grab onto your arm. Controlling his bot, he rushed in through, wedging himself between you and Sans. Noticing Sans' annoyed face, Mettaton could feel a sly smirk on his lips, before controlling the bot to resume following after you.

After all the Amalgamates were filmed, you made your way back to the Riverperson's boat and sailed back to Hotland where Mettaton waited for you. Removing the antenna, he smoothed back your hair, enjoying that silly smile of yours as his hand went through your silky hair. "Why darling, you seem awfully cheerful, don't you?" You simply nodded before skipping off with your hands folded behind your back. Turning around, you showed off your flirty smile at him.

"Why wouldn't I? You must obviously not know how much of a camera you really are?"

"Sorry dear, but I don't quite follow? Do you mean because I'm photogenic, that I capture brilliance?"

"There's that, but it's because you make me smile." You turned around and Mettaton watched you walk away with an amused smile.

"Sorry darling but you'll have to do better then that to flatter someone as highly viewed as moi!" He shouted out as you skipped on ahead.

"Planning too, Señor Sexy legs!" You screamed back, leaving the robot completely baffled.

"Cheeky little thing." He muttered, "you have no idea who you're dealing with." He smiled to himself before following after you. Catching up to you, he disheveled your hair in which you returned by bumping his shoulder as hard as you could. But only ended up hurting yourself and causing him to laugh at you expense. As he continued to pick on you for having a squishy body, you tried to kick his behind which left you regretting afterwards.

Heading towards the elevator you noticed a small little flower waiting for you. Running towards him, you bent down to let him latch onto you. Entering the elevator, you failed to notice the tense air between your flower and you robot companion as they glared at each other. The elevator ride became even more stifling as you found yourself paying less attention to Mettaton in favor of answering your phone call with Papyrus. Just when it felt as if the call might have ended, Undyne and Alphys suddenly join in on the conversation. Annoyed on not having your undying attention on him, he decided it would be more productive if he went on ahead to set up the next program. Puzzled by his attitude, you watched as he blasted away at the nearest elevator stop. Heat around you, you sent out a special message in hopes that they answer back before the end of the T.V. special.
