Hey, What's up? This chapter has a rather abrupt ending, but I just couldn't think of a good way to end it. I really don't got much to say this time around, so on with the chapter!

"Hey, Papyrus... Now's probably not a good time for this."

"AH, YOU'RE BUSY. I EXPECTED AS SUCH! I WAS SIMPLY INFORMING YOU OF MY IDEA SO THAT WE COULD MAKE PLANS!"

"No, that's not it. We're... with Undyne right now. She's... sorta knocked out."

"OH DEAR. IT APPEARS YOU HAVE ALREADY FOUGHT. I WAS HOPING THAT YOU'D GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER THROUGH WORDS INSTAID OF VIOLENCE, BUT I WAS TOO LATE."

Papyrus's voice suddenly turned more serious than Badd had ever heard him.

"SHE'S ALRIGHT, ISN'T SHE?"

"Yeah. Don't worry Paps, She'll be fine. We should probably bring her back to her house though. You can meet us there if you want."

"OH, I'M ALREADY THERE! I WAS WAITING FOR UNDYNE TO RETURN SO WE COULD HAVE OUR TRAINING SESSION!"

"Perfect! Well, we should probably start heading there. See you in a bit."

Badd hung up his phone and looked towards his downed opponent.

"Y'know, gotta give her props. She took one of my pumped up killer moves head on and didn't even fall unconscious. Not even many dragons can say that."

Badd went to pick Undyne up, deciding for a moment which way to carry her. He decided that she'd probably be less embarrassed if he carried her over his shoulder than bridal style.

"Huh, she's heavier than I thought she'd be."

Seito gave his fellow hero a deadpan look. "She's wearing over a hundred pounds of armor Badd."

"Oh yeah."

Seito walked over to Zenko and Temmie.

"Your brother seems a little preoccupied, do you want me to carry you?"

Zenko looked up to her idol with stars in her eyes. "Yeah! Of course!"

"Hey Temmie, Mr. Seito and my bro run pretty fast, so brace yourself."

"OK! Temmie will be- UWAAAA!"

"We're here!"

Temmie poked her head out from behind Zenko.

"Humans t-too fast..."

"I told you to brace yourself Temmie."

"How was Temmie supposed to know that humans would be faster than the river person's boat!?"

"Yeah... my bad. Probably should of let you know that they run at about eighty miles per hour."

"OH HO! SO YOU HAVE ARRIVED! AND QUITE FAST AS WELL!"

"Yeah, hey Papyrus, where's the door to this place?"

Badd was looking at Undyne's house stumped. Her place of residence looked like an angry fish, with the windows being the eyes and fins sticking out of the side of the structure.

"AH! YOU SIMPLY PUCH THIS BUTTON HERE!"

Papyrus pushed what Badd thought was a doorbell, and suddenly the teeth in front of the house opened up, revealing the interior.

"Ok, that's a badass design."

"INDEED! UNDYNE HAS A TASTE FOR THESE SORT OF THINGS."

Badd went inside and set Undyne on a chair.

"So, should we try and wake her up, or...?"

"USUALLY, WHEN UNDYNE IS TIRED FROM BATTLING OR FROM INJURIES, SHE SPLASHES HERSELF WITH WATER TO WAKE HERSELF UP. WHY DON'T YOU TRY THAT?"

"That... makes way more sense than it should."

Seito was already grabbing a cup and filling it with water by the time Badd finished his sentence.

"Is there any certain way that we should apply the water or-"

"Of fer gods sake."

Badd grabbed the water from Seito and crudely splashed it over Undyne's face.

Seito gave his partner a disapproving glare, before they heard a groan.

"Damn it... what the hell was that human made of?"

Papyrus stepped forward and motioned for the others to get out of her line of sight.

"AH! YOU'RE AWAKE!"

"Papyrus? I thought I was fighting the humans? What happened? Why am I back in my house?"

"AH, WELL YOU SEE..."

"Argh! this doesn't make sense! If they beat me, then I should be dead! Did they think I was dead and leave me, only for you to find me?"

"UM, UNDYNE, PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN. YOU SEE, THE HUMANS BOUGHT YOU HERE UNCONCIOUS AND HELPED WAKE YOU UP! WASN'T THAT NICE OF THEM?"

Papyrus motioned over to the others, who were standing awkwardly by the doorway.

Undyne's eye started to twitch, before she adopted the most strained smile anyone had ever seen.

"Papyrus, why are the humans in MY HOUSE?"

The aforementioned skeleton looked awkwardly around the room.

"WELL, WHY DON'T YOU ASK THEM YOURSELF?"

Zenko, surprisingly, was the first to speak.

"Um, miss Undyne? You fell unconscious after my big brother whacked you through a mountain, sorry about that by the way, and we brought you back to your house to make sure you were ok. Papyrus was here waiting for his training lesson, so he helped us out."

Undyne looked her for a while, unresponsive. Eventually, she sighed.

"Damn me and my weakness to children. Leave brat. I don't want to see you or the others ever again, got it?"

Zenko looked very upset at that, but was unsurprised that Undyne wasn't giving them a chance.

Undyne huffed. It's not like I even need to deal with them myself. They're too naïve to hurt anyone and Asgore should make short-

"DARN! WHAT A SHAME! I UNDYNE, I WAS HOPING YOU COULD BEFRIEND THE HUMANS! BUT I GUESS... I OVERESTIMATED YOU! YOU'RE JUST NOT UP TO THE CHALLENGE!"

Undyne's eye snapped open. "What?! Challenge? Really Papyrus? You think I can't make friends with a group of punks like that?!"

Undyne pointed aggressively towards Zenko and the others.

"Listen up humans! I'm not done with you yet! I'm gonna befriend the hell out of you!"

Seito furrowed his brow. Really? That's all it took? issuing friendship as a form of challenge? In hindsight, that was probably a valid idea, given Undyne's competitive attitude, but that seemed too easy.

"In fact, We're not just gonna be friends. We're gonna be, BESTIES. I'll make you like me so much, you won't be able to think about anything else! Fuhuhuhu! It's the perfect revenge!"

The group had rather mixed reactions. Zenko and Temmie looked ecstatic, Badd looked completely lost, Seito was still trying to piece together the complete 180 in Undyne's attitude, and Chara was laughing her ass off.

After her sudden outburst, Undyne adopted a more relaxed look. "Have a look around. Papyrus and I will get you something to drink."

Badd shook himself out of his stupor. "Uh, yeah. Alright."

Zenko walked over to the corner and spotted a big black piano.

"Whoah! Undyne, you play piano?! That's awesome.

The fish warrior smirked. "Hell yeah, kid. The piano's the best! No other instrument can hope to compare!

"Do you mind if I play it a bit? I've been to a piano recital or two."

"Knock yourself out. But hey, you break my piano, I break you. Got it?"

Zenko noticed Badd glaring a hole through Undyne's head as soon as she finished that sentence. Rolling her eyes at her brother's overprotective nature, she nodded in understanding.

Undyne went and stripped her armor off, setting it back up on it's rack. She was wearing much more casual attire underneath, dressed in a pair of jeans and a tank top.

Badd Noticed something behind the front door that sparked his curiosity. "Whoa! That's a huge sword! Where'd you get that, it looks awesome!"

"Heh, glad you're impressed. While humans suck, their history... kinda rules. Case in point: This giant sword! According to Alphys' history books, humans used to wield swords up to ten times their size, right?"

Seito chuckled. "Well, I don't know about that, but Badd and I do happen to know a pretty strong swordsman."

"Yeah. Kamikaze, better known by his moniker Atomic Samurai, is the world's strongest swordsman. He's the only person to ever be able to use his signature technique, Atomic Slash. It's a move where he swings his blade 100 times in under a second, completely demolishing his opponents."

Undyne was left speechless for a moment, before she broke out into a wide grin.

"This guy sounds awesome! Sucks that he's a human, or else I'd love to meet him!"

"Why do you hate humans so much anyway? You know, like, even more than most other monsters."

"Cuz you assholes attacked our race for no reason and trapped us under this mountain with no way to escape?"

Seito sighed. Guess she just takes that more personally than most of the others.

"Look, we get it. Our ancestors were huge assholes. But we're going to try and make it right. We want to break you guys out of here so you can live on the surface again."

Undyne scoffed. "And just how do you plan on doing that?"

Badd spoke up. "I have no fuckin clue. But what I do know is that we're gonna do it, and nothing is gonna stop us."

Undyne was surprised, to say the least. The human's voice held so much conviction, despite not having a plan. She almost believed him based on his voice alone.

"Heh, well good luck with that. If by some miracle you do manage to break the barrier, I guess it means I'm wrong about you humans. But for now, I think you're all pricks."

Badd smirked. "Well, I can't wait to prove you wrong then."

Undyne just scoffed. The three of them sat in an awkward silence for a few minutes, before Undyne shot up.

"Wait a minute! Papyrus!"

"YEEEESSS?"

"You're cooking lesson is supposed to start right now! And since the humans are here, They'll have to have it with us!"

Undyne suddenly backflipped behind Zenko, who was playing the piano, and plucked her up before jumping into the kitchen.

"Alright humans! Nothing has bought Papyrus and I closer than cooking! Which means if you join in, We'll become closer than you can ever imagine! Fuhuhuhuhu! Scared? We're gonna be best friends!"

Seito sweatdropped. "She really doesn't do anything halfway, does she?"

Badd smiled, walking into the kitchen. "Nope, and I can get behind that."

As they entered the kitchen, they were greeted to the sight of Papyrus pitching vegetables at Undyne like baseballs, which she caught and laid on the counter.

"Alright! It's time for step one! Making the sauce! You!" She shouted, pointing at Badd. "Envision these vegetables as your worst enemy! Now, Pound them to dust with your bat!"

"Uh, I thought we were cooking."

"We are! Now quit standing around and get to smashing!"

Shrugging, Badd Picked up a tomato and whacked it with his bat, spraying it's contents all over the counter and wall.

"Yeah! I'm into it!"

Undyne brought her fist down on the rest of the vegetables, utterly demolishing both them and that section of the counter.

Seito watched the carnage before him with wide eyes. He turned to Papyrus for an explanation.

"AH, WELL, UNDYNE DOES SPEND QUITE A BIT ON HOUSE REPAIRS."

"Great job team! Uh, we'll just scrape this into a bowl later. Now, to boil the noodles! Homemade noodles are the best! But I just buy store brand! They're the cheapest!"

"Oh oh! Let me put them in!"

"Sure thing kid. All or nothing!"

Zenko ripped the noodles out of the box, throwing them, and then the box itself, into the pot fiercely. Temmie jumped off of Zenko's head and stomped on the noodles for good measure.

"Yeah! I love it! Now to stir!" Undyne materialized a spear and slammed it into the pot, dentin and warping it.

"Now for the most important part! Papyrus! it's time to turn up the heat!"

"OH BOY!"

Papyrus ran over to the stove and turned the knob.

"Hotter!"

The flames engulfed the pot.

"Hotter, damn it!"

The fire overtook the stove.

"HOTTER!"

The fire reached the ceiling.

"Wait, Papyrus, that's too hot! Turn it down a bit."

Papyrus revealed the stove knob in his hand. "ONE PROBLEM. I CAN'T!"

Undyne sighed. "Time to call the fire department again."

Luckily, the fire department got to Undyne's house before the fire got too out of control.

"Heh, man Papyrus. No wonder no one will eat what we cook."

"UNDYNE, FAILIURE IS THE FIRST STEP ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS! I HAVE BEEN GETTING BETTER AT COOKING EVERY DAY!"

Undyne let out a laugh. "Hey, you know what? I actually had fun. Maybe you humans aren't too bad after all."

"Heh, glad you approve of us."

Seito looked over to Undyne's now fire free house. "It was rather funny to see just how much chaos you could cause by cooking."

"Yeah. Here, you know what? Here's my number. Give me a call if you need help with anything."

Zenko took the slip of paper and handed it to Badd. "Thanks Undyne!"

"No prob kid. And hey, Badd and Seito was it? If you get the chance, swing by Waterfall sometime. I'd love to have a spar or two with you. It's not every day that I find someone who can keep up with me."

Papyrus pouted "WHAT ABOUT ME?"

"You're getting there, Papyrus, but you still need a little more training before I can feel comfortable going all out against you."

Badd gave her a thumbs up. "You got it."

"Hey, you're heading to Hotland next, right? You'll be seeing Alphys there. Tell her I said hi."

"Will do. Well, we should be going. That was fun, see you guys!"

Papyrus and Undyne waved to the group as they headed off towards the next leg of their journey.

Random note, but I think I'm gonna bump my word minimum up to 1.5k per chapter, cuz I feel the last couple before this one were a little too short.
