Mettaton walked into the giant building the place was almost completely deserted. Once these hallways use to be as crowded as New York Times square now they seemed like an abandoned wasteland. There was only a solitary monster snoozing on the counter of the Glamburger resturant .Still in uniform ,the cat like being his head placed on his arms in a pose that one can only infer that he bored himself to waited there peacefully until Mettaton abruptly started snapping his fingers loudly in front of his may not be anyone here , but he wasn't going to tolerate a slacker.
"Burgerpants get up! There's work to be done."Mettaton became so annoyed to the point where he lifted him up and started shaking delirious Burgerpants.
"It'll all be good little buddy..."The cat mumbled in a dreamlike state "I might get a promotion! And then I'll become a STAR !" He spread his arms out and then he fell back down on the to flutter his his eyes open ,"Boss, is that you?"
"The one and only,"he responded in a sardonic tone,"and what are you , my friend, still doing down here?"
"I'm sorry Mettaton business has been very slow lately , there hasn't been been any customers for months or weeks or...uhh how long has it been? Working here just feels like a never ending cycle."
"It doesn't matter now we are leaving immediately."He said in an unusually stern voice.
"Where to?"Burgerpants replied yawning.
"TO THE SURFACE!" He said triumphantly with his arm around his employee's shoulder and the other witha hand pointing tword the ceiling.
Burgerpants was suddenly interested and made an over exaggerated suprised facial expression that morphed his head entirely ,"I'm free... finally free!"he put his arms up dramatically, but then slowly put them back down and face now changed into a scowl."Wait a minute, how are we suppose to get past the barrier?"
Mettaton was enraged with disbelief"Are you...The human you were conspiring with earlier already broke the barrier you lowly creature!
"Burgerpants was stunned to hear Mettaton snap like that .He was quite terrified. "Y'know sometimex you don't act at all like you do on T.V."he stopped shaking and sighed"I guess that's why I could never find those ladies in the back when I tried to smuggle some..."
"Some what?" He asked in a slow suspicious fashion.
"OH Nothing! WANNA BURGER?" Holding out a glamburger in his hand and breaking away eye contact to the point where he was now looking at his ear and grinned"So does this mean I'm fired Boss?" He said very slyly.
Mettaton was all too aware to see what kind of game he was trying to play and straightend himself out."Oh ho ho your thinking of quitting are you don't forget you are still under contract. I'll also need plenty of labor and support to put my name and brand up there."
"Oh shoot!" He said now looking down with his arms folded across his body"Well hot shot, what exactly are you going to do whe you get up there? Just show up and expect everyone to love you like they do here?"
"I'm ...I'm not sure yet,..BUT!"he came back enthusiastically"I'll figure it out as soon as I get there .Why don't you go along and start selling glamburgers to break the ice of our new campaign."
"You got it Boss," he started to run for the door before he could he was stopped by his employer's last remark.
"Don't think I still don't track your every move,"Mettaton chuckled to himself as Bugerpants finally exited,"He'll turn around again , he always does."
The desperate monster first came to him afyer the debut of his pilot episode he begged him to become involved with his rise to stardom so naturally he put him as a worker of his food marketing knew Bugerpants had always been jealous of his fame and attractiveness, and despised him for a way Mettaton was also a bit envious of his , althou he hated to admit it was actually a talented had the ability to dramatitize his facial expressions in a way Mettaton's regualr robot body was never capable of.
Mettaton wondered if Burgerpants would become more sucessful than he was if he had ever give him the chance.
