I'm terribly sorry for not updating this sooner, but with college starting and such, so much was going on all at once. Also, I've been WAY more active when it comes to drawing comics for my Undertale ideas rather than writing fanfics (my username for DeviantArt is FireBird-Mutation if you ever want to check them out).
"Zzzzzzz…."
Mad Dummy twitched for what seemed like the hundredth time, wrinkling his nose to get rid of whatever had fallen on it.
"Mmm…stop it…"
*plop!*
"AGH! THAT'S IT!" His eyes glowed red as they opened, and his knife was firmly in his grip. "WHO KEEPS DROPPING THINGS ON MY NOSE!? SHOW YOURSELF, OR ELSE I'LL…I'LL…"
The first thing that struck Mad Dummy as odd was the fact that his bush was pure white. Wondering what he was standing in, he glanced down and noticed he was two feet deep in snow. Squeaks of joy were heard around him, and he watched as his minions happily made snow-dummies and buried themselves.
"No." Mad Dummy's pupils shrank. "…NO."
"BLOOKY!"
Napstablook let out a squeak as his eyes shot open. "M-Mettaton!?" He flew up from his bed and looked around his room.
"BLOOKY COME OVER HERE! QUICK!"
Worried that his cousin might be in trouble, Napstablook hastily flew through his door and to Mettaton's room right next door. "I-Is something wrong? Are you hurt?" He tried hard to hold back his tears.
Mettaton didn't seem to look hurt in any way; the robot was atop his own bed, bouncing up and down with delight as he gazed out the window.
Napstablook was confused. "Mettaton…?"
Mettaton whipped his head towards his cousin and grinned widely. "Blooky! Come here! You simply have to see this!" He snatched Napstablook's stubby arm and pulled him up to the window.
Napstablook's eyes fell onto the sight outside, and they widened. "Oh…wow…"
Crystals flakes slowly rained from the sky, piling on everything in fresh blankets of snow. It was one thing to visit Snowdin Town, where snow certainly wasn't new, but seeing it on the surface was just...
"So…beautiful…" Napstablook's mouth fell open in awe.
"Isn't it!?" Mettaton hugged him tightly. "I just couldn't let you miss it!"
Napstablook smiled warmly as he huddled against his cousin. "I wonder what Mad thinks of this…"
Mettaton giggled at the thought. "Oh, I'm sure he loves it, darling!"
Alphys and Undyne were snuggled up on the couch, watching some anime.
SLAM!
"WHAT THE—" Spears materialized by Undyne's side as she leapt from the couch. "WHO'S THERE!?"
When she received no response, Undyne charged over to the front door, where she soon came to a screeching halt. At her feet lay Mad Dummy, who was in the fetal position.
Amused, Undyne's spears vanished. "Heh. What's the matter, Mad? Don't like the snow?"
"Don't like the snow?" the dummy repeated, a frantic look in his eyes. "I STAYED IN WATERFALL TO GET AWAY FROM THIS STUFF! Summer's already bad enough…and now there's this!?" He shuddered.
"Ya got all four seasons to look forward to up here, Mad. Didn't quite think of that, did you?" Undyne crossed her arms and chuckled as he buried his face in the carpet.
Mad Dummy grudgingly looked up at her. "Okay, listen—I'm not asking you this as your punching bag; I'm asking you this as your friend: please don't force me back out there. I know I've never complained about living in your yard, but I'm begging you to let me stay in here for once."
Undyne blinked at him for a moment before stroking her chin. "Hm. I dunno, Mad…what's in it for me?"
"Are you serious—? I'll sleep in the freaking closet if I have to! You know I've done that before!" Mad Dummy barked.
Undyne only continued to tap her chin as she looked at the ceiling.
The dummy hopped up in frustration. "Come on! I've NEVER asked you for anything the entire 15 years I've put up you! NOTHING!"
"Well, you were kind of a jerk to me back then…forcing me not to talk to you and whatnot…"
"DO YOU WANT ME TO GO ON MY KNEE AND BEG, WOMAN!? CUZ I WILL!" Mad Dummy was getting desperate.
Undyne started laughing. "Alright, alright—cool it! I'm just messin' with you. I love getting you all riled up." He glared at her, but then her face got serious. "If I catch you snooping around my room, though, I will throw you out."
"Understood." Mad Dummy couldn't care less about that—he was just glad he didn't have to stay out in the yard all winter long.
Undyne turned around. "Oh, and since you seem to love that closet so much, I guess you'll be sleeping in there instead of the comfy ol' couch." She shrugged, and Mad Dummy could hear her snicker as she walked away.
The dummy rolled his eyes as he faced the door. "Well, given the circumstance, I suppose I can't argue with that," he grumbled, bracing himself to go outside one final time to grab his things.
