The Warners saw Sans standing next to a telescope.
"Hey, Sans!" said Yakko.
"Hiya, Sansy!" said Wakko.
"hey kids."
"Whatcha up to, Sans?" said Dot.
"i'm thinking about getting into the telescope business. it's normally 50000G to use this premium telescope...but...since i know you, you can use it for free. howzabout it?"
"Alright!" said Dot.
She looked into the telescope.
"so, how's my papyrus protection squad?"
"We saw him talkin' to Undyne," said Yakko. "Dot thinks she gave him death threats or somethin' to stay out of our business."
"She got really mad at her," said Wakko. "We almost got killed when she tried to defend him!"
Sans chuckled.
"yeah, undyne's pretty tough. it's gonna be a challenge befriending her."
"We couldn't hear what Undyne said," said Yakko, "but I'm sure she had a bone to pick with Papyrus."
They laughed as Dot took her eye out of the telescope.
"I can't see anything in there! It's just a big red space."
A red target appeared around her eye, making Yakko, Wakko, and Sans snicker.
"What?"
Sans got a mirror for Dot. She took being pranked surprisingly well.
"Looks like I'm not red-dy to see the stars yet."
Sans chuckled.
"good one, kiddo. well, if you aren't satisfied, don't worry. i'll give you a full refund."
He winked at Dot, making her roll her eyes despite smiling.
"Very funny."
She wiped the red ink off her eyes.
"See ya around!" said Yakko.
Sans waved goodbye. Meanwhile, an onion-like creature started asking questions as the Warners walked by.
"What's a star? Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it? ...Are you a star?"
Yakko took care of the situation.
"A star's a big ball of light. Ya can't touch it and ya can't eat it unless you're Wakko. He's got a black hole of a stomach! Ya can't kill it and I'm not literally a star. How's that?"
"You answered my questions enough. Thanks."
"No problem!"
The Warners took a turn and walked forward.
"Hey," said Wakko, "it's the Nice Cream Man! How's it goin'?"
"I relocated my store, but there are still no customers..."
"Maybe it's because you're in the middle of nowhere," said Dot.
"Maybe...fortunately, I've thought of a solution!"
"And that'd be...?"
"Punch cards! Every time you buy a Nice Cream, you can take a punch card from the box. If you have three cards, you can trade them for a free Nice Cream!"
"Alright!" said the Warners.
"They're sure to get the customers to come back!"
The Warners looked further behind the Nice Cream Man and saw that the ancient glyph on the wall was painted over with a list of 21 different flavors.
"I'll have a strawberry one," said Dot.
"I'll take licorice!" said Wakko.
"I'll go for mint," said Yakko.
They paid for the Nice Cream bars.
"Super!" said the Nice Cream Man. "Here you go! Your Cards are in the box!"
He came to a realization.
"Hey! You each have 1 Punch Card! How about combining them and redeeming them for some Nice Cream!?"
"We'll see..." said Yakko.
They went over to the box, where two bugs were playing a 3-card game. They took their Punch Cards; after all, all games will end someday. Then they gave them to the Nice Cream Man.
"We'd like a jumbo-sized chocolate flavored Nice Cream, please!" said Dot.
"Here! Enjoy your free Nice Cream!"
He handed them the jumbo-sized chocolate Nice Cream.
"Thanks!" said Yakko.
Wakko put all the Nice Cream bars back in his Gag Bag. Then they walked away to the place they were before, finding a new path by the onion. Walking across the bridge, they found themselves on platforms located on top of a huge lake. A passing conversation was heard from some Echo Flowers.
"So? Don't you have any wishes to make?"
"...hmmm, just one, but...It's kind of stupid."
They were interrupted when Dot's phone rang.
"Hold on, I gotta take this. Hello?"
"HELLO! THIS IS PAPYRUS!"
"Hey again! Whaddya need, sweetie?"
"REMEMBER WHEN I ASKED YOU ABOUT CLOTHES?"
"Yeah."
"WELL, THE FRIEND WHO WANTED TO KNOW...HER OPINION OF YOU IS VERY...MURDERY."
Dot chuckled, slightly nervous.
"BUT I BET YOU KNEW THAT ALREADY! AND BECAUSE YOU KNEW THAT...I TOLD HER YOU WERE WEARING A PINK SKIRT! BECAUSE I KNEW, OF COURSE...AFTER SUCH A SUSPICIOUS QUESTION, YOU WOULD OBVIOUSLY CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES!"
"Again, ya know me too well."
"YOU'RE SUCH A SMART COOKIE! THIS WAY YOU'RE SAFE AND I DIDN'T LIE! NO BETRAYAL ANYWHERE!"
Dot loved how happy he sounded, as if he didn't have any doubts. But due to the dangerous situation she and her brothers were in, she wanted to be straightforward with Papyrus and be serious for a moment.
"Haha, yeah! Listen, I gotta tell ya something."
"WHAT IS IT?"
"We saw ya talkin' to Undyne."
There was a pause.
"...YOU DID?"
"Uh-huh. We also saw her makin' threats at ya."
"OH..."
"But why are still helping us if she did that to ya?"
Papyrus, realizing Dot heard what he said behind Undyne's back, was slightly relieved.
"PAPYRUS WOULD NEVER BETRAY YOU! I AM NOT A CRUEL PERSON. I STRIVE TO BE COMFORTING AND PLEASANT."
"A few of the many reasons why I love ya."
Dot smiled as she said that. Papyrus could sense it, feeling slightly uncomfortable but remembering their deal.
"YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR FRIENDSHIP MEANS TO ME. AND BECAUSE OF MY INHERENT GOODNESS...I WOULD NEVER LET HER HURT YOU!"
"That's actually one of the sweetest things you've said to me."
Dot found herself blushing.
"SO WORRY NOT, DEAR DOT! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL DO MY BEST TO PROTECT YOU AND YOUR BROTHERS. WOWIE, BEING FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE IS EASY!"
"Yup! Nobody'd say that unless they knew us. Anyway, thanks for defendin' us. It means a lot."
"ANYTIME, HUMANFOLK!"
"Bye!"
She hung up, reverting to her zany self. Meanwhile, they came across a pair of Moldsmal. Yakko, remembering what he did in the Ruins, wiggled his hips seductively.
"Wiggle on, girls!"
They wiggled back, allowing the Warners to spare them. Each one left a piece of gold, which Wakko put inside his Gag Bag. As they continued walking around, the passing conversation was heard once more.
"Don't say that! Come on, I promise I won't laugh."
After some time spent by wandering around with nothing in sight, Dot found some ballet slippers on the ground. She tried them on.
"They fit! Now I've got the complete outfit!"
She kept the shoes on her feet. Deciding there was nothing else to do, they decided to leave via another exit and found a sign on the wall.
"The power to take their souls," Yakko read. "This is the power that the humans feared."
They walked away, trying not to remember the flashback that had felt so real. Suddenly, as they walked across a bridge, a tentacle popped out of the water. Another one popped out on the other side of the bridge. A huge onion-octopus hybrid with an anime face emerged. His voice was slightly squeaky and high-pitched.
"Hey...there...Noticed you were...Here...I'm Onionsan! Onionsan, y'hear!"
Yakko shook Onoinsan's tentacle.
"Nice to meet ya, Onionsan! I'm Yakko."
"I'm Wakko!"
"And I'm Dot, the impossibly cute one!"
They continued onward, Onionsan keeping up with them.
"You're visiting Waterfall, huh! It's great here, huh! You love it, huh!"
"Yep," said Yakko.
"Yeah! Me too. It's my Big Favorite."
He looked away from the Warners.
"Even though, the water's getting so shallow here...I, have to sit down all the time, but...He-hey! That's OK! It beats moving to the city!"
"What's wrong with the city?" said Dot.
"I'd end up in a crowded aquarium...like all my friends did!"
"Good point," said Dot.
"And the aquarium's full, a-anyway, so even if I wanted to, I...That's OK though, y'hear! Undyne's gonna fix everything, y'hear!"
Or make things worse, Yakko thought to himself.
"I'm gonna get out of here and live in the ocean! Y'hear!"
"We'll come visit ya when it happens!" said Wakko.
This made Onionsan happy. Soon, they reached the end of the room.
"Hey...there..."
He pointed with one of his tentacles.
"That's the end of this room. I'll see you around! Have a good time! In Waterfallllllllllllllllllllllllllllll"
He disappeared into the water before the Warners could say goodbye.
"Poor guy," said Yakko.
As they left, a new encounter was activated. Shyren bumped into them, despite the fact that she hid in the corner. Yakko self-consciously started humming. Shyren followed his melody.
"Si re," she hummed, "si re si mi si mi"
Her humming turned into music note attacks, which avoid Yakko for some reason. Wakko and Dot dodged the attacks as Yakko made small talk with Shyren.
"Hey, you're not too shabby."
She turned away.
"What's wrong?"
"... ...toot..."
"Oh, I get it. Ya think you're tone deaf. With a little help, you'll go a long way! Wanna sing with me?"
Shyren looked back at him and smiled. Aaron, watching from the distance, gave an approving nod. Yakko and Shyren, with backup from Wakko and Dot, hummed together. Soon, a crowd gathered around to hear the lovely melody and their humming provided an excellent concert.
"Si Fa Si Fa So Fa So Mi Re Re" Shyren sang, the Warners humming with her. "Mi So Mi So Mi Si Mi La Si So"
The Warners and Shyren hummed a four-part harmony, Yakko obviously becoming the melody. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sans selling tickets made of toilet paper. He nudged his siblings and they saw him as well. Meanwhile, the crowd threw clothing...it was a storm of socks, making Wakko chuckle. They hummed a few different songs together, deciding to give the monsters a "real" show.
The Warners loved the constant attention. It reminded them of the good old days, when their rise to fame had reached its peak. They had come so far, but alas. It had to end sooner or later. Shyren thought about her future as she aggressively tooted. It was time to part ways with the Warners. She had her own journey to embark on as well. After her final toot and the Warners' final note, she gave them 30 pieces of gold and headed off to greet fans. The Warners, on the other hand, merely passed by them.
"Thank ya!" said Yakko.
"Thank ya very much," said Dot.
"See ya guys next time!" said Wakko.
The fans immediately surrounded Shyren, but the Warners didn't mind. They had someone else to meet up with. Yakko spoke up first.
"I see ya liked our concert, Sans."
"yep, it was pretty good."
"Thanks!" said Wakko.
"no problem, kids. your vocals were pretty solid. especially yours, yakko."
"I get that a lot."
Yakko beamed with pride as Dot glared at him.
"It always has to be about you, huh?"
"I can't help it if I'm a natural!"
Sans chuckled.
"so, what's up?"
"We escaped death...again," said Dot. "You were right about Undyne; she really is a tough one!"
"Yeah," said Yakko, shivering a little. "Haven't felt that scared since 1999!"
"can i give ya some advice?" said Sans.
The Warners nodded.
"catch her off-guard. sparin' her might be nearly impossible, but i know ya got a few tricks up your sleeves."
"We know," said Dot, smiling sweetly.
"Faboo!" said Wakko.
"Thanks for the tip, Sans."
"you're welcome. welp, gotta go. see ya around."
He waved and walked away.
"Bye, Sans!" said Wakko.
"Bye!" Yakko and Dot shouted.
Turning around, they were alone once again. The sign in front of them said "The northern room hides a great treasure."
They were at crossroads. Either they walked forward or to the right. Choosing to go forward, they found a piano and a wall. The markings by the piano said "X - Quit" and had a circle next to four arrows pointing left, down, right, and up respectively, instructing them on how to use it. Wakko read the sign on the wall.
"A haunting song echoes down the corridor...Won't you play along? I'm confused."
"We'll come back later," said Yakko.
Leaving and going right, there were more informational signs and they continued reading, Yakko going first.
"This power has no counter. Indeed, a human cannot take a monster's soul. When a monster dies, its soul disappears. And an incredible power would be needed to take the soul of a living monster."
"Isn't that what Goat Mom told us?" said Wakko.
Happy memories of Toriel filled his mind.
"Oh, yeah!" said Dot.
"There is only one exception," Wakko read. "The soul of a special species of monster called a 'Boss Monster.' A Boss Monster's soul is strong enough to persist after death...If only for a few moments. A human could absorb this soul. But this has never happened. And now it never will."
They came across a sad-looking statue. It resembled a bull and water was dropping on its body.
"Huh," said Yakko, "the structures at his feet seem dry."
In the next room, they found a bucket of umbrellas with a sign saying "Please take one". Wakko took a red one.
"Why don't we give it to him?"
"Good idea," said Dot.
They walked back to the statue and gave him the umbrella. Placing the umbrella on the statue, a music box began to play from the inside. Dot looked at her brothers after the last few notes and they thought the same thing.
"Finding Nemo," said Dot, "eat your heart out."
Wakko stomped his foot on the ground in thought. Suddenly, he gasped and snapped his fingers.
"That's it!"
"What?" said Yakko.
"That's the song the sign was talkin' about! Come on!"
He ran back to the room with the piano, Yakko and Dot following closely behind him, and played the first eight notes of the song. When he finished, a hole in the wall appeared.
"Alright!" said Dot.
They entered the room and found a legendary artifact. They tried to take it, but were carrying too many dogs.
"Too many dogs?" said Yakko. "Whaddya mean 'Too many dogs'?!"
I already gave you information on those monsters you've fought; this time, I think you should figure it out on your own.
"Fine," Yakko groaned.
Wakko looked inside his Gag Bag and found a little white dog fast asleep.
"Hey, isn't that Papyrus' dog?" said Dot.
"I think so," said Wakko.
"What's he doing here?" said Dot.
The dog woke up after being deployed by Wakko. He absorbed the artifact and ran away. Dot went after him, but tripped and fell just like she did in Papyrus' house. She got up by herself and brushed dust off her skirt. Yakko stood there, almost speechless.
"What just happened...?" he asked.
"I have no idea," said Wakko.
Dot clenched her fists and raised them in the air.
"Curse you, Annoying Dog!"
