Bonbon loved stories, especially long ones...except...for some reason, hearing them from a doctor-like character...she just couldn't get herself around it. That she ended mumbling behind her speech.
"Actually, since you stepped out of the Ruins...I've been 'observing' your journey through my console."
"Ob...obber...ing? Watching?"
"Your fights, your friendships, everything!"
"Did...did you see my breakdown? Thats...that's embarrassing..."
"I was originally going to stop you, but...watching someone on screen really makes you root for them."
"Heh heh...root..."
"S-so, and, now I want to help you! Using my knowledge I can easily guide you through Hotland!"
"No..no...it's okay. I just wanna pla-"
"I know a way right to Asgore's Castle no problem!"
"That's..nice...I think?"
"Well, actually umm, there's just a tiny issue."
"Aha..."
"A long time ago,"
"How long..."
"I made a robot named Mettaton. Originally, I built him to be an entertainment robot."
"I know him, Papy likes his shows..."
"Anyways, recently I decided to make him more useful."
"Aww, too bad. Kinda liked him how he was."
"You know, just small practical adjustment. Like um...anit...anit-human combat features?"
"That doesn't sound nice. Am I gonna have to fight him like Goku?"
"Of c-course, when I saw you coming, I immediately decided I have to remove those features!"
"Oh, that good. Cause I don't think I can fight like him."
"Unfortunately I may have made a teensy mistake while doing so."
"That's ok. You can always make me arobot suit to fi-" the back wall was blasted wide open as the lights where cut off, replaced by a disco ball and a spot light.
"Wa-wa-wait! I-I wasn't do-"
"Sorry Doctor, but it is time for today's Quiz Show!!" Mettaton announced after he emerged from a small space in the wall. Wrapping his metallic arm around Alphys he whispered to her, "Sorry Alphys but I couldn't bare to watch this any longer." With a snap of his fingers, confetti and balloons began to fall from the ceiling. "Oh boy! I can already tell it's gonna be a great show! Everyone give a big hand for our wonderful contest...tant?!!!"
During his intro, Bonbon had made her way towards the exit.
"Where do you think your going darling? The show is about to begin!" He said as he held onto the hood of her dress.
"I don't like game shows."
"Sorry to hear that but the audience are waiting to see you. I promise that the game is worth dying for!"
"The game isn't safe...is it?" Mettaton carried Bonbon to her seat behind a podium that magically appeared out of nowhere.
"Don't worry! It's simple! There's only one rule. Answer correctly...or you die!!!" Having explained the only rule, he pulled out her soul; starting the show. On the top of her podium where displayed four buttons accompanied by small screens that displayed changing answers. Upon seeing them, Bonbon raised her hand.
"Darling! I haven't even asked the first question."
"I can't read." Mettaton gave out a small cough as he glanced towards Alphys. Alphys started to sweat as she shook her head. Apparently she didn't know that the small human couldn't read, which left Mettaton in an unscheduled mishap.
"That's okay darling. Every game show has a backup plan! Now displaying child friendly picture answers! Let's start with an easy one!!! What's the prize for answering correctly?" Alphys stood behind Mettaton and started shaping her hands to the correct answer. But Bonbon wasn't looking for she was to busy trying to figure out what the images on the small screens were.
"Money bag...a toy car...question mark...ooh, I know this button! Aaah!!" She pressed the mercy button which granted her a small shock.
"Sorry but that's incorrect. Onto the next question and make sure you look over here darling." Bonbon rubbed her arms with her hands as to remove the numbing feeling. "What's the King's full name?"
Looking down onto her screen, she started squinting her eyes. "Muhmuhmuhm..." The answers all had a goat monsters face on it with diffrent names at the bottom of them. As Bonbon slowly raised her hand towards the incorrect answer, Mettaton made a clearing throat sound.
"Keep your chin up darling, the answers might be right infront of you!" Bonbon only looked up for a bit before picking the wrong one, where Mettaton had to give her another shock.
"Wrong again. Well, enough about you. Let's talk about me." Mettaton pushed Alphys closer towards Bonbon.
"Psst..pstt..." Bonbon looked up to come face to face with Alphys.
"Oh, hello."
"Goodluck and just look at me ok?"
"Oh...kay..." Mettaton dragged Alphys back to her spot before asking the next question.
"What are robots made of?"
" uhhhhh..." Bonbon stared at Alphys as she shaped the letter b with her hands. As the time started to run out, Bonbon slowly raised her hand towards the b button as she continued to stare at Alphys.
"Correct! Now here's another easy one for you!" For a couple of rounds, Bonbon continued to answer correctly while staring at Alphys with a strange face of ...frustration? Mettaton wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Which worried him a bit, for he wasn't sure if those two shocks might have broken her somehow. "Lossen up darling, we're almost done. Now can you get this one? Would you smooch a ghost?"
"Yes yes yes yes!" Bonbon waved her arms as she started bouncing on her chair. Alphys stared at them both with a leering gaze while Mettaton applauded her for her enthusiasm.
"Darling remember you must press one of the buttons to answer."
"Oh, oops" she giggled as she pressed one randomly.
"Great answer, I love it!!! Now let's hurry it along with breaking out the big guns! In the dating simulation video game 'Mew Mew Kissy Cutie" what is Mew Mew's favorite food?"
"Which answer reads snail icec-"
"Oh! Oh! I know this one! It's snail ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the fourth chapter everyone goes to the beach!" Alphys continued her rambling while Bonbon eyes started to spin from the speed of it. Wanting to save the human before she falls from her seat, he cut Alphys off.
"Alphys Alphys Alphys, you aren't helping our contestant, are you? Ooooooh!!! You should have told me. I'll make a question you'll be sure to know the answer to! Who does Dr. Alphys have a crush on?" Alphys waved her arms back and forth, trying to convince Bonbon not to answer, but she was to busy grinning like an idiot to notice.
With her goofy smile she started smashing on the button that was next to a picture of Undyne. "See Alphys? I told you it was obvious, even the human figured it out." Mettaton placed his arm around Alphys shoulder as she tried to shield her reddening face. "Yes, she writes her name in the margins of her notes. She names programming variables after her. She even writes stories of them together, sharing a domestic life. Probability of crush! 101% margin of error: 1%."
"Wow really! I just picked it because it was the only picture I knew! Lucky me!!" In a hushed tone she add, "and cause she talks alot about you."
"I see...either way, with Dr. Alphys helping you the show has no dramatic tension!! But. But!!! This was just the pilot episode!!!" Bonbon jumped down from her podium as it magically lowered itself down to the floor. "Next up, more drama! More romance!!! More bloodshed!!! Until next time, darlings!!!!" Bonbon giggled as she watched Mettaton retracted his legs into his body as a rocket replaced them, shooting him upwards towards an opening in the ceiling. Clapping at his grand exit she noticed Alphys sweating nervously. She tugged onto her lab coat, snapping Alphys out of her nervous jitters.
"He wasn't supposed to ask that last one."
"Oh...can I go now?"
"Oh...u-uh...I guess...so...wait! Let me give you my phone number! Th-then...maybe if you need help, I could..." Bonbon digged into her pocket and retrieved her cellphone. "I-it's so small and simple! D-don't worry I'll fix it right up! I'll even upgrade it's texting features." Alphys rushed towards the back of her lab taking Bonbon's phone with her.
"Texting? But I can't read..." Hearing the sudden banging, crashing and slight scream, Bonbon started to tear up. "My phone..." Rushing back, Alphys brought out an entirely new phone.
"Here you go! I've upgraded it for you. It's got a key chain and I added a couple of special features. I even signed you up for the underground's No. 1 social network!" Bonbon took her new phone and saw that the screen displayed a full profile with a picture of her the she doesn't remember taking.
"But mommy said I can't put my information online..." Bonbon mumbled.
"Now we're officially friends! Ehehehe! Heheh...heh..." After a while of awkward silence, Alphys excused herself to go to the bathroom. Bonbon stood there for awhile before trying to follow her. Noticing Alphys feet underneath the door, Bonbon went on to her stomach to get a better look. Sliding her hand under neath the door, she slowly tried to reach Alphys tapping feet. Alphys shocked by the sudden grabbing, let out a loud screech before retreating further away from the door.
Bonbon brushed herself off as she got up from the floor. Alone once again, she decided to look around a bit before heading out. Walking towards the escalator, she noticed numerous things she couldn't see before when the lights were off.
"Dog food? She has a doggy? Ooooooh cute!" She went over by a desk that was near by. Ontop of it stood a small figurine, daring herself not to touch it, she retracted her hand before her hand got to close. Hearing her stomach growl, she walked towards the fridge that was conveniently placed near the desk.
"Alphy!" She called out,"can I grab something to eat?" No response. In a small whisper, she called out once more, "Say nothing if it's ok..." she waited for a response, but Alphys didn't answer. "Thank you!" Opening the fridge, she found a small box of noodles. "Oooooh...yummy! Aww cute! It comes with its own water and cooking pot." Stuffing it into her pocket, she continued her little snooping. Going up the escalator she found numerous books all lined up on the shelves. Taking one out she found that it was a Manga book hidden behind a thin leather binding. "Mmmmm...I wanna look through it...but." not wanting to waste anymore time she placed it back to its spot.
Hearing a small dripping sound, she turned towards a peculiar looking machine."Pink gloop? What is it?" Dipping her finger in it, she started rubbing it between her fingers. "Can...can I eat it?" She whispered to no one. Smelling it first, she took a small lick. Right away she felt a strange sensation in her soul "eeee! That doesn't feel good." Whiping the rest on the side of her dress, she went on her tiptoe to see what was ontop of the machine. "Grass? But...why is the goop pink?" Something felt off by the whole thing that she found herself wondering when was the last time she heard about grass.
"Undyne...""What is it?" Undyne asked as she flipped through the cookbook.
"Do you remember the first time you meet me?" Looking up from her book she looked at the sitting human as she tried to recall the first time.
"Hmmm...yeah, wasn't it in that room where I have my meeting with Papyrus. Why you ask?"
"Um..." Bonbon looked down for a second before shaking her head, " No reason." Undyne ruffled her hair before looking back at the book.
"You know, you have NO idea how many spears I wanted to throw! But, um, that sea-grass is under scientific protection."
"Ehhh!"
"What!!!!! That's a real thing! If you didn't hide so much in those grass, I'd have kicked your..." at mid sentence she looked back at Papyrus who was currently stroking his brother's skull in his sleep, while mumbling about having eight legs. Feeling her healing wounds give a small sting, she rephrase what she was trying to say. "Uh, if not for that grooty. I'd have kicked your booty." Bonbon covered her mouth as she started to snicker. "Don't ask me what a grooty is!!!"
"Okay!" She said but then she started shaking her arms nervously."But...but!!!! Does that mean I'll get in trouble for stepping on it!"
"Getting in trouble just for stepping on the grass??? Heck no! You just can't damage it with a barrage of spears! So you can go in it all you want, there's even a pair of old shoes in one of the seagrass. Strangely, they're made for somone without fins or claws." Undyne tapped her chin with her book as she thought, "what kind of monster is like that...? Oh, wait!? What about a slime monster,?"
"There's bunny monsters."
"Pfft! They don't wear shoes! Oh wait, slimes don't have feet at all! Well, if they fit you, you could go back and take them. Whoever wore them isn't coming back!" But as she looked under the table, she saw Bonbon' feet moving back and forth. "Never mind, your feet are wayyyyyy too tiny!"
"Hehehe!"
"Now shush and get ready! Cause I just found the perfect thing for breakfast!" Bonbon threw her arms into the air as she cheered.
Bonbon shook her head as she saw that she was getting of track. Walking out of the air conditioning building and into the heat of Hotland, she pulled out her new phone. Staring at it for awhile, she didn't noticed that Flowey had popped his head out of his flower pot.
"Brat, what are you doing?"
"Sulking."
"Why?"
"Papy gave me that cellphone..." Bonbon said as she gazed upward with tears running down her cheeks.
"Idiot, that's not something to cry about. Just hurry it up and go already." Bonbon started walking slowly as she scrolled through her new phone. Finding Papyrus' number, she decided to call him.
"TINY HUMAN! WHAT'S UP!"
"Hehehe, just wanted to see if the phone worked."
"WHY WOULDN'T IT WORK? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN!!??"
"Hmm? No, but Alphy added things...I guess."
"DOCTOR ALPH-" Upon saying the doc's name, Papyrus had his phone snatched.
"You made it to her lab!!?? That took you long enough! Hey, is she there? If she is, tell her I said hi, okay!? And, tell me how she's doing! And tell me of she needs anything and... Wait! No! Don't ask any of that!!! But she's fine right!?"
"Mhm, she's in the bathroom."
"Oh...well, wait bathroom? What is she doing there?"
"MAYBE SHE'S TAKING A SHOWER!"
"She did look at bit sweaty." Bonbon answered.
"Yeah she does! You'd sweat too if your body was brimming with excitement all the time!!" Papyrus retrieved his phone back from Undyne's grip before she could smash it with her own excitment.
"TINY HUMAN! WE MAY NOT KNOW ALOT ABOUT HOTLAND-"
"So we'll just have to COMBINE OUR POWER!!!"
"ZERO PLUS ZERO IS STILL ZERO."
"Yeah, but it's a BIG zero!!! The biggest ZERO!"
"BUT I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD CALL US OFTEN...JUST TO SEE IF YOUR OKAY!!"
"Yeah! Like call us from every room! Cause if you don't, this guy will worry his skull off!"
"UNDYNE DON'T NOOGIE THE SKELETON!!" Bonbon chuckled before saying okay. Saying goodbye, she hunged up and placed her phone back into her pocket.
"Brat! You're not really going to call them at every room are you?"
"They said I should, so I will!" Flowey let out a long groan.
"We'll never going to get there!!!"
"But I just want to play. I don't want to leave yet." Bonbon said as she placed her foot on and off the conveyor belt.
{YoU'll sOOn thiNk diffeRenTly. I'lL mAkE suRe oF iT!}
"Hidoi!" Bonbon shouted as she stomped her feet on the ground. "I'll never stop having fun! While I'm still feeling healthy and strong, I'm going to have as much fun as possible!" She cheered as she pumped her fist in the air.
"Who are you even talking too? I didn't say anything." Flowey said as he stretched to stare at her.
"Oh...the creepy voice. Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you, I can talk to myself now!"
"Shut it!" Flowey face burned red as Bonbon laughed at his outburst. Recoiling back to his pot, he thought back to what she said before. "Wait...creepy voice? What creepy voice."
"The-" Before she could answer, her phone let out the out a ping. Taking out her phone, she saw a picture of Alphys next to a small icon with a U on it. Pressing it, it opened up to a small window with text.
"Mmmmmmmmmm!!!!" Bonbon face scrunched up as she stared at it. "Flowey."
"What."Flowey said with a sigh. Her phone pinged once more.
"Can you..." Another ping sounded out.
"WHAT!?!?" Bonbon raised her phone towards him. Staring at the screen, he noticed what she was asking for. Pushing the phone away with his vine "BEG FOR IT, YOU UNAPPRECIATIVE, FORGETFUL BRAT!!!" He said with a fearsome sneer. Convinced that anyone with some pride would give up and move on, he was a bit surprised to see her begging him with her knees on the ground. "You disgust me...don't you have no shame?"
"Nope!" She said as she jumped back to her feet. Letting his head fall with a slight thud onto the rim of the pot, he used his vine to snatch her phone.
"This is stupid." He said before reading Alphys' updates to her. Finished, he tossed it back to her. Delighted that he would be helping her, she placed her bottom on the conveyor belt while dialing Papyrus.
"TINY HUM-"
"Weeeee!!!"
"WEE??"
"Heck yeah! She's riding on a conveyor belt, Papyrus!!"
"CONVEYOR BELT? ARE THOSE FUN?"
"I guess for some. But for me, I learned that they make me sick."
"DID YOU HURL?!"
"Yeah, like 9000 times!! It was awsome!"
"OH NOOOOO! TINY HUMAN!! YOU'RE NOT GETTING SICK ARE YOU?!"
"Hehehe, nope. But for somone reason, the con...yor...thing... thing stopped moving when I called."
"THAT'S GOOD. JUST DON'T CALL WHEN YOU'RE ON THEM, OR SHE'LL KEEP SAYING GROSS THINGS." Bonbon just giggled as she hunged up. Putting away her phone, the conveyor belt started moving again. Reaching the end, she heard something bubbling pass her by. Getting up, she saw that it was a small volcano.
"Cute!" The volcano stopped walking when they heard her. Turning around, the monster pulled out her soul. "Oops." Vulkin's lava began spurting out. Sidestepping out of the way, Bonbon gave a wink and a thumbs up.
"Ahh! Ahh! Does my best." Which only encouraged him to spirt out more lava. Ending up slightly toasted, she was able to mercy him at the end.
"Idiot." Commented Flowey as Bonbon placed her hand over a small star. Walking along Hotland, Bonbon recieved a couple more updates from Alphys, which only agitated Flowey more. "These are stupid!"
"But she might say something important."
"No she wo-" Flowey ducked as a strong breeze passed them. Bonbon stood her ground as hard as she could as she gazed upward.
"Wow! An airplane!!"
Tsunderplane gets in the way! Not on purpose or anything. As her soul was being pulled out, she saw the plane had a girly attitude that reminded her of something from a show once. Getting an idea, she started rubbing her face with her hands. Picking Tsunderplane's curiosity, she got closer. Bonbon gave her a flirty smirk.
"You have some pretty wings there." She said with a suave like flick of her hand.
"Y...you s...sicko!" Bonbon squealed as she ran away as Tsunderplane began to charge at her. Managing to spare her, Bonbon collapsed onto the floor.
"Idiot! What is wrong with you!"
"Ha...ha...nothing...w...why?" She said as she tried to regain her breath.
"Forget it." Brushing herself off, she jumped back on to her feet. "What's with that look you gave her? It was diffrent from the one you gave those Froggits from the Ruins."
"Hmm? Oh, well since Tsunderplane is a girl, I didn't think my flirty look would have worked. So I used my brother's. Since we're twins, I thought I could pull it off."
"Well, it was creepy. So, stop flirting with them when they are trying to kill you!"
"But mommy said flirting always works."
"Well she's also an idiot!"
As Bonbon sticked her hand out towards the steam that was coming out of an air vent, Sans was stretching his arm out from his short nap. Scratching the back side of his pelvis, he took out his phone. Noticing the time, he wondered why he hasn't seen munchkin yet. Getting a call, he answered it.
"BROTHER, WHERE ARE YOU?"
"hotlands, why?" He said with a lazy slur as he slouched across the counter of his station.
"HOTLAND? WHAT ABOUT YOUR JOBS IN WATERFALL?"
"eh, thought the kid might need somone to look out for her, so i thought i'd skip them."
"SANS!! THAT'S QUITE LAZY OF YOU AND...PRODUCTIVE. HOW DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT!?"
"what can i say, it's in my bones."
"GYHAAA!" Sans chuckled as he heard his brother scream out of frustration. Snatching his phone away, Undyne asked at which station he was at.
"uhh.." Looking around he noticed the bridge next to him. "bridge one?"
"Why are you still in that one? The punk has already left through Alphys' lab!"
"huh, must have been more tired than I thought. sorta forgot that the boat left her ahead from here."
"IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL YOUR NAPPING! YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF SHAPE, SANS!! YOU TIRE WAY TOO EASILY. IF YOU DIDN'T NAP FOR 7 HOURS ALL NIGHT, YOU WOULDN'T BE NAPPING YOURSELF INTO AN EARLY GRAVE!!"
"I agree!! You really need to...!" Sans looked at his phone as he heard Undyne let out a sharp scuff. "...wait, isn't that just called sleeping?"
"UNDYNE!!! NOT YOU TOO!!" Sans smiled as he heard Undyne tackling his brother to the ground.
"Wait. Papyrus...When do YOU sleep? For the past few days, weren't you sleeping..."
"I'M USUALLY TOO BUSY TO SLEEP, BUT RECENTLY I HAVE MADE AN EXCEPTION FOR THE TINY HUMAN. SOMONE AS SMALL AS HER NEEDS TO HAVE A PROPER REST IF SHE WANTS TO GROW AS BIG AS ME! NYEHEHE...WHY YOU ASK?"
"Cause if you weren't using that cool car bed, I was going to ask if I could have it!" Seeing how they seemed to have forgotten that Sans was on the line, he took the chance to hang up. Putting his hands inside his pocket, he walked away from his station as he took one of his shortcuts. Landing near his second station in Hotland, he started setting up his Hotdog stand.
Getting a ping from his phone. He took it out to find that Bonbon had sent him a video message. Smiling a bit, he open it.
"Hee hee! Look Sans! Steamed vegetable!" Sans laughed out loud as he watched Bonbon sticking a screaming Flowey towards the steaming air vent.
"nice one, munchkin." Turning his phone around, he decided he'd send her a video as well.
Placing Flowey back ontop of her head, she heard a ping from her phone. Seeing that it wasn't Alphys but a message from Sans, her face lit up. Opening up the message she saw Sans holding up a hotdog.
"glad to have 'meat' you. you really know how to brighten the 'wurst' of days."
Bonbon started giggling out loud as she kept replaying the video. Without realizing it Bonbon had her fingers over the record button and accidentally sent the recording to him. Hearing another ping, Bonbon looked down and saw that it was another message. Opening it up, she saw that this time Sans had a bottle of ketchup with him.
"hope you get here soon so we can 'ketchup' over a bite of dog'."
Sans snickered as he recieved a thumbs up emoji from her. But as soon as he was about to close his phone, he saw that he had missed a message. Opening it up, he saw that it was mearly a recording of her laughing. Sans could feel his soul warm up as he smiled fondly at his phone. That he found himself replaying her laugh as he saved it to his phone.
