Red: You know, I'm beginning to think that Muffet, as genuine as she is with her intentions, has something else to get out of some of the things she does for me. Maye I'm just a bit paranoid...but i really can't help but think that she might a bit...I don't know the proper word for it.
Muffet: Oh, don't you mind dear me! I'm ypur friendly neighborhood spider! Nothing to be concerned about when it comes to me. Ahuhu~
Red: And that's one of the reasons why I worry...
Chara: I make a point to keep my guard up around he when I feel like she's up to something...yet she tends to render those efforts futile. *facepalm* I don't know how she does it...
Chapter Start!
"Remind me again...why we're doing this?" Flowey deadpanned as he lies wrapped around Chara's shoulder. Asriel and Frisk were by their sides, while Red and Muffet took up the front. They seemed to be speaking about something, something Red was slightly confused about.
"We're going out to get Red some clothes. Because unlike the rest of us, she only has one change of clothes." Chara sighed. "And obviously Muffet isn't going to stand for that, so now we're heading out to see what we can get for her. Annnnd obviously Muffet wants something for herself."
"That's right, Dearie!~"
"The only reason Red fully agreed because of the food pantry. It has quite a selection."
"An admirable selection indeed..." Asriel mumbled, drooling slightly from the muzzle. Red couldn't help but drool a bit herself, though she pouted when she shook it off her approaching food fantasy.
"You're lucky, Azzy. Muffet says I don't get to eat until I pick at least two things aside from what I have now." Red groaned as she leaned her head back. "That's not fair at all! Why do I have to wait to eat just so I can get some more clothes?"
"Once you start eating ,stopping you will be quite a bother. Then we'll NEVER get anything done." Muffet shook her head. "Nu-Uh. We'll get you some more things to where first, then you can indulge yourself in eating with Azzy. Just as long as it's something I approve of."
"What!? If I'm picking out what I'll be casually wearing, then why do YOU have to make sure it checks out?!" Red asked out of exasperation.
"So I can be absolutely, positively sure that you aren't just faking it so you can get to the cafe faster. I need to know you're sincere about your choices, dearie!~" Muffet then tilted her head sweetly. "Besides, if I get the impression you aren't really trying, I'm not going to bake for you this week."
Red paled as her tail went stiff. She shook her head, waving her paws in front of her frantically. "W-Woah! Hold on, let's not get so drastic so fast, Muffet! I-I can out in the effort, of course I can! Just leave the snacks out of this, please!" She begged, slipping in a bit of a whine out of pure instinct. Muffet smirked as she had the pink-haired canine at her mercy. It was embarrassing for Red...but those snacks were far too amazing to risk never being seen again. Red would agree to anything if it meant she wouldn't lose them...and Muffet knew it very well, because she was the provider of said sweets.
"Am I ever glad that you're seeing things my way, Dearie! I was dreading that I would have to do something quite drastic." Muffet giggled at Red's exhausted expression. "Aw! Don't go looking like that! You have such a pretty face! Don't allow it to contort into something like that!"
"What does being pretty have to do with any of this...?"
"Quite a bit, if you squint hard enough!"
"I don't exactly buy it..." Red mumbled, shaking her head slightly. She shook her head and raised it back up. "Though if getting new clothes is gonna help me further get used to life around here...then I guess I have to suck it up and go along with this! Even though I can't really understand as much as I would want to..." Red deflated a bit as she rubbed her neck sheepishly. "And...I guess I'm a tad bit interested in what might fit me..."
"That's the spirit, Red!" Muffet giggled while lightly tapping Red's shoulder. After a slight awkward pause, they both began to giggle as well.
"Yeah. But I only have two conditions for this." Red raised her paw, and two fingers with it. "My pink bow and crimson cowl stay. And I'm not interested in anyone trying to do anything to my pink hair. My hair is pink, it's nice and curly...and that's the way I like it!"
"Not a problem! There's no way I'd allow you to discard what makes you so pretty! Besides, what's the use of calling us ribbon buddies without ribbons? Ahuhuhu!~"
They're building quite an interesting dynamic... Chara muttered with slight interest. The further time progressed, the more that Red was adjusting to the Surface, as well as Muffet's antics. Though there was always an instance or two in which she would still find herself caught off-guard by whatever might happen next. However, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It simply means that things simply continued to grow more and more interesting to her. That same curiosity was shared by Asriel, which may make for an interesting connection in itself. Their naivety certainly makes it much more believable. Frisk knew about the Surface as well...but it's very apparent that he's much more interested in staying with the monsters, to the point of forgetting quite a it about other humans in general. Chara...he himself chose to disclose himself from humanity, and is simply tolerating them for the Dreemurr's sake. They honestly couldn't get him any farther than that at the moment, so they simply accepted what they could get.
After a few moments, they shortly arrived to their destination. It was not one that Red expected. It seemed to be a building decorated in black and pink, and decorated with glittering pink glitter. Red was utterly confused by how much pink glitter she was seeing, it did a bit of bother on her eyes. Muffet helped her through it, grabbing hold of her paw and pulling her forward, through the doors that lie ahead. Chara rolled his eyes because he knew exactly where they were. He wasn't exactly pleased about coming here, but he would once again tolerate it for the others sake. Flowey was even more displeased with their destination, wishing he could just avoid it altogether. Then again, Flowey is annoyed by almost everything, so his negativity were usually ignored. Frisk and Asriel would usually respond with their overwhelming positivity, anyway.
Muffet smiled as she lightly spread out her arms. "Here we are! There's a certain duo that I'd really love to introduce to you. They should be more than happy to help you out. They helped me with picking out my wardrobe many times before." She turned around and cupped her mouth with her upper hands. "Ladies!~"
The duo behind the counter soon turned around, and their eyes glittered with cheer.
"Is that like...Muffet...? Oh my god, Muffet!"
"You barely come to visit us anymore, Muffet! We not good enough anymore or something like that?!"
Neither of these things were said with negative will, but more like positive playfulness that Muffet was familiar with. Frisk was familiar with as well, which is wy he gave a friendly wave.
Bratty and Catty.
The duo immediately climbed over the counter and went over to capture Muffet in a dual hug. "Muffet! Why haven't you come to visit us more? We like, totally missed you!"
"Really missed you!"
"I've been busy for a while, dearies. I had to help a new friend of mine get accomadated around here." Muffet expained as she slipped out of their embrace and appeared right next to Red, patting her shoulder. "I would like for you to meet my new canine companion, Red! Bow before her and all of her cuteness!"
Red resisted the urge to roll her eyes from Muffet's dramatics. She then found herself turning towards Bratty and Catty and waving sheepishly. "Hey. I'm uh...kinda new around here. And Muffet said that you can help me with a certain something..."
"Woooaaah!~" Bratty gazed at her in awe, approaching her quickly and leaning down to her level. "So you're supposed to be Muffet's new friend? Oh my god, look at you! You're just so cute! SO incredibly cute! Doesn't she look cute, Catty?"
"She's absolutely cute, Bratty!" Catty beamed. Red was a it embarassed by their praise. Though she gasped as Catty unexpectedly huggd her tight, close to her chest. "it's like, really nice to meet you, Red! Muffet, I really wish you had introduced us to her sooner! You can't keep this amount of cuteness all to yourself!"
"I tend to get a little greedy from time to time." Muffet shrugged. "Besides, the Dreemurrs have the courtesy to share the cuteness of their children with everyone, allowing them to really sparkle everything with said cuteness. I figured that would be enough for you two."
"Do NOT get us wrong. Their cuteness is astoundingly cute. However, once a fellow female joins the Canine Unit and she's as super sweet as this, you HAVE to let us know, like, on the dot! This isn't something you should be keeping from us, Muffet!" Bratty narrowed her eyes a bit as she folded her arms. "Hey...you aren't hiding anything else from us, are you?"
Muffet blinked all of her eyes at Bratty's accusation, then she nonchalantly tilted her head to the side. "I don't know what you mean." Her smile betrays her words, though they were unable to call her out on it.
Red, after escaping suffocation from Catty's rather tight embrace, sighed and rubed her neck. "So what exactly do you two do here, exactly?"
Bratty brightened up at this, clapping her paws together. "That's easy enough for us to explain!~"
Bratty and Catty used to simply sell things in an alley when they were still down in thye Underground. Though now that they were on the surface, they've managed to get themselves involved in a much more legitamate business than that. And that business seemed to be clothing. Inspiration comes from the many times that Mettaton finds a way to make himself look amazing than his previous showings. How he seems to have a rather appropriate-and sometimes not so appropriate-outfit for certain situations. Though ever since he's gotten to the Surface, he's found himself to be quite a hit with the humans, just like he's always hoped. Which means he tends to go on tours. It was expected, since no one really expected their 'Star of the Underground' to stay in Ebott when his stardom can be experienced in many more places. Though that didn't mean that Bratty and Catty had to stop making clothes. In fact, they've made quite a bit for themselves even without Mettaton's influence. Still, everyone could tell they were anxiously awaiting his return.
Though it wasn't like he went alone. Mettaton brought Nappstablook, Shyren, and Burgerpants with him. There was no way that he was going anywhere without his two best friends ever again, not after leaving them alone for so long. They were all happy for the trio, and wished them happy travels.
Catty smiled brightly. "We've been working on clothes even during the six year gap. We have quite a lot at our disposal, for monsters and humans alike. Mettaton inspired us to go out on our own and do our own thing. Like, he's such a great guy! Likeable by everyone!" Muffet could hear Chara and Flowey scoff. "So he provided us a bit of funding to start our own business! So long as we do our best to provide some for him from time to time, we're more than welcome to do what we want and take our own direction! Even right now, we still anxiously await his inevitable return. It's gonna be sooooo great to see him again! Am I right, Bratty?~"
"Absolutely right, Catty!~"
Muffet smiled. "These two are more than willing to assist with anything clothes related! They're more than willing to help fit you into something that'll make you look great! Casual...or something more fitting of you. Whatever comes first." Muffet turned towards the duo after the explanation officially ending. "Alrighty girls. Red is in need of something that closely fits her personality! Now we just gotta fin out exactly what that is! As long as it doesn't require the altering of her ribbon, cape, or hair."
"Um...yeah. Basically what I'm here for." Red rubbed her neck again. As sheepish as she felt about this, she had no choice but to allow them to take the lead. She doesn't really believe she could do much in the choosing of wardrobes. Though she didn't feel too comfortable when someone as mischievous as Muffet was in charge. She was just going to have to trust that Muffet didn't do anything to spark embarassment out of her.
Chara sighed as he rubbed a hand through his hair. "Well, now that Red's been taken care of, wonder what we should do to pass the time?"
Guuuurrrrmmmmgh...
"Hungry..." Asriel sighed pathetically as he hugged his growling belly, his eyes crying a river of tears.
"You're such a baby, kid..." Flowey rolled his eyes.
Bratty smiled. "Oh!~ We have ourselves a hungry prince. We have preparations for events like those!" She quickly walked up to a nearby closet, and opened it immediately. And there it was, their own personal pantry filled with numerous amounts of foods. "We use the pantry for our lunch breaks and refill it oncein a while no problem! It's why Muffet occasionally comes over here, she helps us restock most of the snacks here, hm~"
"Haaaaaaa~" Asriel's eyes turned into delighted stars. He was the first to rush up to the pantry and gleefully help himself. Chara sighed, gently palming his head. Though seeing Frisk eagerly begin eating from the pantry as well, there really wasn't much he could do but join the both of them.
"Now now, Red. We had a deal." Muffet said as she pulled on red's cape tightly, keeping her from pouncing out into the pantry and gobbling snacks for herself. "You said that you would try some outfits that will closely relate to your personality. I'm more than willing to pay for whatever you pick, as long as you pick two. After you do so, then I'll consider letting you eat out of the pantry for a little bit." She said with a slight giggle as Red pouted at her predicament. Muffet was cruel enough to try and deny her food while she was currently hungry. But she did promise that she would at least try some outfits, so she shouldn't be one to complain. But still...it didn't make it any less annoying.
"Alright...alright. I know what I promised. So come on, let's get this over with. The sooner we get it over witrh, the sooner I can eat."
"I knew you would be reasonable about this, Dearie. So let's get started!" Muffet smiled as she grabbed onto Red's arm and egan pulling her along, slightly causing her to roll her eyes once again. Though they again stopped in their tracks as they heard the doors open once again.
Undyne and Alphys entered through the doors before they could go too far into the building. The former could see that Asriel and Frisk were both eating out of the pantry with absolutely cheerful and delighted faces, while Chara and Flowey watched them oth with exasperation. Undyne didn't really see any surprises there. ut when she saw Muffet dragging Red farther along through the clothes, as well as Bratty and Catty leaading the way, she just couldn't help but be curious about their intentions. Alphys was just as curious about this as she was, seeing how the Dreemurr Trio was accompanying them. Must be something for Red's sake, at least that's what she was able to gather. Undyne cleared her throat after a moment of apprehension. Asriel responded first.
"Mphwy thmgmf, mmphster!(Howdy there, Master!)" Asriel said through swollen cheeks filled with food. He was looking totally carefree about it, too.
"Asriel. I'm gonna have to ask you to not tempt me to pinch those cheeks of yours. Seriously. I'm unable to handle it." Alphys said while placing her paws over her muzzle, shaking her head and gushing at his cuteness. Though she stopped as she refocused on Red and Muffet. "But wait...what are you two doing here?"
Asriel swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped it slightly so he can speak a bit more clearly. "Oh, we came here because Red needed some more clothes to where that was different than what she currently has now. Basically they're helping Red pick out more clothes for her to wear on a daily basis."
"Whaaaaat?! She's looking for some changes in clothes and she didn't call us about it?!" Undyne gasped. "Red...why didn't you call us? We were totally going to help you out if you really needed it!"
"Oh. Uh...Sorry about that. I guess I didn't really think about that." Red tilted her head as she rubbed her chin. "Though to be fair...those things called cell phones...I don't really have one." Undyne was about to say something, then allowed that reasoning to sink in, as well as remembering Red's situation and how it resulting in poor understanding. Then she sighed and rubbed her neck.
"Crap...I can't fault you for not havin' a phone. That's my bad. Alphys, do you think that you can build her a phone? Don't really think she should be moving around without one, given her circumstances."
"Constructing a new one shouldn't be too difficult." Alphys nodded. "...But enough about that, I wanna help Red find her outfits! Casual and all!"
"Yeah! I wanna get in on this!"
Red had little to no choice but to go along with the extra additions to the group. Muffet was more than happy to have them join in. The more the merrier, she says. As in the more friends that pitched in, the less she had to spend. Not that she wasn't willing to spend...but she can get just a little stingy. Bratty and Catty were also more than happy to have Undyne and Alphys join them on the search, knwoing Red might need more input on her choices than she thought she would be getting. Since The Dreemurr trio-and Flowey-were guys, they were going to have to sit this one out and wait for them. Considering that Asriel was still stuffing his face without a care in the world, there wasn't any need for him to interfere.
Soon after Red progressed with everyone, she found herself surrounded by a large array of clothes for her to try on. They all seemed to be a bit excited to help her decide on what she might want. Though she was especially unnerved by Muffet's excitement on the issue. She cupped her cheeks as she looked around in curiosity. Undyne folded her arms and nodded twice.
"Right, Red. We gotta pick something out for ya, and see if it looks epic on ya!"
"Okay. Though...how do we start...?"
"Well, we oughta start by figuring out how you might be represented. As in, the outfit that's picked will have to represent your personality in the best way possible." Bratty said while looking at Red closely. "Me and Catty don't really know her very well, though. We are in definite need of something to go off of before we can get her into something."
Alphys cupped her chin as she quickly went through her memories of Red ever since she woke up. She tried to pick out specific details that will describe her best, such as her eyes, the way she speaks, her mannerisims, her appetite, her pink hair, pink ribbon, and crimson cowl, and her advanced swordplay. There should be something she's familiar with that closely resembles Red's character. After taking a moment to analyze this, she went over them in her head in a quick mental summary.
From what we can gather so far, Red's pretty excited to learn new things, even though she feels incredibly awkward since she's been placed in a new environment. Yet despite her uncertainty, she's refusing to back down, and is instead facing these changes head-on. She has a very upbeat and energetic personality, which makes fitting into the Canine Unit that much easier. However, when there's a situation that needs to be treated seriously, she will no doubt do her best to treat it as such. Her will to fight for what she believes in is incredibly strong, too...though there is a bit of recklessness to her personality that might slow her down a bit. Taking into account her strong loyalty, her advanced swordplay, and intense fondness for Cinnamon Bunnies...I think I find something that matches those things and have it be close enough for her to accept. Yes...that'll work!
"Hey Red! Mettaton has a ton of things that can be used as an outfit, and some of those include other peoples hobbies...including my own!" Alphys began. "Red, how would you feel about wearing a regular skirt?"
"Huh...?" Red was briefly confused by this. She then took a brief look at Muffet, who was wearing a casual minidress that was very clearly spider themed, as well as keeping it's pink ow. She pondered for a bit before shrugging. "I...don't exactly have anything against it...thoughI wouldn't exactly go for it, either."
"I see." Alphys nodded, shifting her glasses upward and causing them to flash for a moment. "What if it were...how do I word this...a combat-skirt?" Red's ears flickered upward at the notion, and Alphys knew she made progress. "I see that I've gotten your attention."
"As well as mine. What are you up to, Alph?" Undyne asked, leaning forward curiously.
"Red is new, but I think I've gotten her down to a manageable degree. She's obviously incredily strong, and wants to keep being seen as a strong person. Though she seems to be under the impression, which isn't intentional I'm sure, that this little activity will be a detriment to that desire. I just wanna say that isn't the case." Alphys contiued, now looking straight at Red. "Take it from someone like me, Red. I know plenty of girls from the numerous amounts of anime I sink myself ino that allow themselves to be presented as incredibly tough...though that doessn't mean that they can't be feminine. Considering that you have little knowledge about this world and how things should go, the even bigger issue you have is not knowing how you should proceed. Well, don't worry. It isn't serious enough to be worth panicking over, though I can tell it is still important to you."
"Huh..."
"I can see that clearly now, judging by how strongly you would fight against anyone that threatened the peace. Yet you would also like to fit in with the rest of us. You just want to make friends...and vanquish the enemies of monsters, no matter who they are. That is one of the strongest ways you wish to represent yourself...right?"
Red had listened intently to Alphys. Now she knew why Undyne considered her to e extrmely smart...because she is. Having nailed down her personality and personal wishes after knowing her for such a short while was pretty impressive of only person who could probably do a more efficient job than her would be Sans. Though somehow, Alphys was the better candidate for this, given how she's a fellow female. After taking some time to ponder, she clenched her paws and looked towards the other girls with a strong nod.
"Yes. Absolutely!" Red declared with a firm voice.
"Passion is something I can always get behind, Red. And you seem to be a very ubeat and energetic gal for the time that I've known you so far." Undyne said, roughly placing her hand on the canine's head. "You're beginning to like us, even in spite of not knowing too much aout who or where you are. And yet despite realizing this, it doesn't change the fact that you still managed to have a desire that's worth pursuing. Making friends and beating the crap outta anyone who threatens them." Undyne grinned. "You're a lot like us than you realize, Red! Especially me!" She turned her head to the side and lowered her eye slightly. "And I guess...the Dreemurrs."
"The Dreemurrs...?"
"Let's just say that a lot of bad stuff happened on their watch, and they failed to lessen the damage that caused pain to a lot of people. They're not going to make those mistakes again if they can help it. If there's anyone more intensely devoted to protecting everyone's happiness and defending the peace from anyone or anything that dares to threaten it than myself...it'd be the Dreemurrs." Undyne also knows that Asriel trumped everyone in his desire to keep the peace, even Frisk. Though Red didn't yet need to know why he feels that desire more intensely than the others. She feels that's for him to tell Red, and him alone. "And with those scars etched into those hearts...their Determination has proven to be near-unmatchable."
"I...I see..."
"Woah...that's like...amazing what you all just did there." Bratty said, a bit surprised. Though then she pushed her hair back a bit and smiled. "She's cute, AND she wishes to be strong!"
"Respectable! Totally respectable! I love it!" Catty beamed. "So to sum up, Red would like an appearance that would most definitely have her look ready to fight at anytime and function that way...while she still remains overall approachable for others to reach out to and befriend. Oh my god, we have something that'll suit that desire, do we?!"
"We most certainly do!" Muffet beamed as well, clapping all six of her hands together. "Now that we've decided based on Red's desires, let's get her out of those clothes.~"
Red sweatdropped a bit, slightly unnerved by the mischievous smile on Muffet's face. "Uh...you sound and look a bit too enthusiastic about that part..."
"I don't know what you mean!~"
Meanwhile, the boys were still on the other side, as Chara had his cheek in one hand while rolling his eyes at Asriel's current dilemma. It can hardly be called a dilemma, though. It was simply a matter of whether he would continue eating and clear Bratty and Catty's larder out, forcing them to restock MUCh more than anticipated...or hold himself back and restrain from eating any more. He's eaten so much, and yet he still wasn't completely satisfied. It was ridiculous.
"Honestly, Asriel. If you don't wanna be a bother, then just stop eating already. It's as simple as that."
"Ohhh...my mind says no...but my belly says yes..." Asriel whimpered, shaking his head in confusion. "Which one do I listen to?! I face this impossile decision every day!"
"Ugh..."
"Alright guys! Red's made her pick! She's coming out now!" Muffet called out.
Red was soon the first to leave the large room, with a new attire to show. As she strongly recommended, her pink hair was untouched, as well as the pink bow that connects to her crimson cape. However, she no longer wore her original dress. Instead she's currently wearing a different one, one that brings out her name into a much clearer light, at least a little bit. She wore a corset that was connected to a skirt, and they both had a red tint to them. The upper half of her corset, as well as a majority of her skirt, were a brighter shade of crimson. The lower half and minority of the skirt was a darker shade of crimson. She also kept her white boots, which were also conencted due to the tights she now wears beneath said skirt, using crinoline to cover up her furry legs to an extent. There was a slight whole in the back though, small enough for her tail to slip through and fit comfortably. It wasn't too hard to guess that this dress was deliberately designed to function in combat situations, while still being approachable for friendly interactions.
Mettaton, having known Undyne and Alphys for a long time now, must have been very prepared for something like this.
"Doesn't she look sooooo pretty? And fully prepared to kick some tail anytime, anywhere?~" Muffet beamed, appearing behind Red with a cheery smile. "Here we are, Dearies! Red chooses to represent herself via attire in this way! Make of it what you will!~"
Frisk, Chara, and Flowey took a long look at Red, trying to gather their thoughts on the matter. Red herself seemed a bit nervous aout their gazes and wondered if she made the right decision...only to shake her head to pull herself together. She wasn't going to back down from this dcision in spite of the possibility of others not liking it. It's what she liked, it's what she chose, and she was going to stick with it. This reinforced resolve of hers allowed her to gaze back at them, waiting for them to respond.
"...It's amazing." Asriel said, breaking the silence as he brushed himself of food crumbs and looked at Red for himself.
Red smiled a bit at the comment, folding her arms and raising her head. "Hmph. Whatever. This just feels right to me."
"That's exactly why it's so amazing." Asriel said for clarification, now wearing a smile to accompany it. She didn't know why, but that extra bit only served to enlarge Red's smile.
"Thank you for your assistance, ladies.~" Muffet said as she strutted out of the room, leaving some money behind for Bratty and Catty. "Let's go, Red. As I promised, I'll be feeding you like you ever so desparately desired."
"FINALLY! Wait, I thought I had to pick out two outfits?"
"We may have picked one out for you, but it was you who felt that it closely matched your true self and what your desires are. That's enough for me."
"I...I see...thanks a lot, Muffet."
"No need. It's simply the duty of a Ribon Buddy to maintain your happiness. Ahuhuhu!~"
"Hmph. I suppose she did do a pretty decent job. She really was thinking of something easy for her to wear that allows her to fight on one end and make friends on another." Chara noted as he followed everyone outside aside from Bratty and Catty. Chara turned towards Undyne and Alphys for a moment. "Did either of you get a call from Mettaton?"
"We did get a couple that were simple status checks on how his tour is going along with Nappstablook and Shyren. Nothing to worry about." Alphys says this, and yet she couldn't help but feel a pang of concern for them resonate in her soul regardless. She didn't know why she felt this way, but considering it was coming from the soul, she definitely didn't perceive it as a small worry.
"I'm sure the blockhead, along with Nappsta and Shyren, are alright. He wouldn't let anything happen to them." Undyne said, placing a hand on Alphys shoulder. Still, it didn't hurt to call the robot and check in on him every now and them. they might even catch him on TV. Who knows?
Muffet smiled as she closed her eyes. Excellent. My beloved Ribon Buddy is getting more comfortable around here, now that she's easing into trying new clothes. Puppy steps, my dear Red. Puppy steps. Though I must say, I'm rather surprised...and intrigued. She thought, her opening her eyes halfway as she recalled helping Red change, and her commenting how Muffet seemed a bit too interested in it. The new attire fits her to a more comfortable degree, notably around her chest area. Muffet blushed slightly as she placed her upper hands on her cheeks, a mischievous and sneaky grin on her face. My my, our fifteen year old canine is much bigger than I thought she'd be! Though I don't think she notices...
"Muffet...what are you thinking about...?" Red asked, eyebrow raised. Muffet shook her head and waved her hands in a dismissive manner.
"Oh! Nothing, Red-Dearie! Nothing at all...ahuhuhuhu...~"
...I think Muffet's getting a kick out of messing with her friends. Seems she's found a new favorite target of this, aside from Chara. Red...I'd be super careful around Muffet from now on, if I were you. She's been knwon to bw quite a tease, and in multiple, less than innocent ways. Frisk and Chara can back me up on that, they sometimes see right through her. Not Asriel, he's too much of a cinnamon-roll to notice.
Regardless, here's Red's new outfit. Tried to describe it as best I can. Nott a fashion expert-like Mettaton-so sorry about poor description.
...Speaking of Mettaton...Alphys seems worried about him, and his group. Hope they're okay...
Asriel: If you readers have any slice-of-life ideas, we'd be happy to try them after a quick lookover. Just...do so via PM, okay? Spoiler reasons. And at the moment, they can't involve Mettaton...not yet, anyway.
Chara: Not that our writer doesn't have his own slice-of-life ideas, mind you. Though there isn't anything wrong with mixing things up a bit, right? Next major arc won't be starting for a while.
Frisk: So everyone relax and be happy~
Flowey:...What they said. Whatever. Bye.
