"What is the prize for answering correctly?"

Both Lily and Alphys signal 'D' with their hands.

I press D.

"RIGHT!" Mettaton says as confetti sprays. "SOUNDS LIKE YOU GET IT!"

"HERE'S YOUR TERRIFIC PRIZE!"

"What's the king's full name?"

Alphys and Lily signal 'C.'

I press C.

Confetti sprays and Mettaton says, "CORRECT! WHAT A TERRIFIC ANSWER!"

"ENOUGH ABOUT YOU! LET'S TALK ABOUT ME!"

"What are robots made of?"

Alphys and Lily think for a moment, then both signal 'B.'

I press B.

Confetti.

"TOO EASY FOR YOU, HUH?"

"HERE'S ANOTHER EASY ONE FOR YOU!"

A long answer that I have no interest in reading comes up.

I watch Alphys and Lily, who scan it quickly, then signal 'D.'

I press D.

Mettaton once again congratulates me.

I have to get that microphone. I think I can get my power from it.

Before Mettaton asks another question, I say, "Mettaton! Why can't we both have mics? You know, twice the drama, action, you name it!"

Mettaton considers, then says, "OH YES! WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA, DARLING. HERE. TAKE THIS ONE."

Mettaton throws the mic my way. Luckily, I catch it, then raise it above my head.

My body glows all the different colors Mettaton has: red, yellow, black(for the mic), you name it!

I am floating. Everything goes dark. The lights come back and I am a girl, human Mettaton EX.

Wonder why I turned into this Mettaton version. Well either way, I look fabulous!

I strike a pose. "Alright, hit me with the next question!"

"DON'T 'COUNT' ON YOUR VICTORY..."

"How many flies are in the jar?"

A jar appears with flies.

I laugh, getting the joke, then steal a glance behind me.

Everyone is laughing, except for Annaka, who looks pretty ticked.

I look back to Lily and Alphys.

They signal 'A.'

I press A. Another congrats!

"LET'S PLAY MEMORY GAME!" Mettaton says.

There is a picture of the half of a face of a monster.

The question reads: "What monster is this?"

Alphys and Lily signal 'D' which is Mettaton.

I am confused, but press D.

A congrats!

"BUT CAN YOU GET THIS ONE?"

"Would you smooch a ghost?"

I am a bit taken aback by the question, but shrug it off.

Alphys's eyes are narrowed and Lily looks confused.

All of the answers read "Heck Yeah."

I press A.

"GREAT ANSWER!" Mettaton cheers. "I LOVE IT!"

"HERE'S A SIMPLE ONE!"

"How many letters in the name Mettaton"

The n's go on forever and ever.

But Alphys and Lily signal 'C.'

I press C.

Congrats.

"TIME TO BREAK OUT THE BIG GUNS!" Mettaton says.

The question reads: "In the dating simulation video game 'Mew Mew Kissy Cutie' what is Mew Mew's favorite food?"

"OH! OH! I KNOW THIS ONE!" Alphys says waving her hand high. "IT'S SNAIL ICE CREAM!"

I give Alphys a confused look.

Lily smiles at Alphys.

"You know," Lily says. "I don't know a ton about the show, but I heard about that episode. I REALLY want to see it! It's the fourth chapter and everyone is at the beach, right?"

Alphys nods. "AND SHE BUYS ICE CREAM FOR ALL HER FRIENDS! BUT IT'S SNAIL FLAVOR AMD SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS IT!"

"Oh my gosh!" Lily exclaims. "I bet that would be one of my favorite parts of the game!"

Alphys and Lily start to talk in unison. "Because wouldn't it be a very powerful message about friendship and..."

They both look over to Mettaton.

"ALPHYS AND LILY, IS IT?" Mettaton says. "YOU GUYS AREN'T HELPING THE CONTESTANT, ARE YOU?"

Alphys and Lily look at each other, then at Mettaton, shaking their heads rapidly.

"YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME," Mettaton says. "I'LL ASK TWO QUESTIONS, YOU'LL BE SURE TO KNOW THE ANSWERS TO!"

First one: "Who does Dr. Alphys have a crush on?"

Alphys waves her hands frantically, sweat streaming down her face.

I smile, then pick A: Undyne.

Alphys narrows her eyes at me.

I shrug.

Second question: "Who does Lily have a crush on?"

Lily now is waving her arms frantically, but her face has turned a light shade of red.

I smile even bigger. "Jonathan. It's this boy Lily has a crush on. He LOVES her."

Lily covers her face, obviously blushing.

"WELL WELL WELL," Mettaton says. "WITH DR. ALPHYS AND LILY HELPING YOU, THE SHOW HAS NO DRAMATIC TENSION! WE CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS! BUT. BUT! THIS WAS JUST THE PILOT EPISODE! NEXT UP, MORE DRAMA! MORE ROMANCE! MORE BLOODSHED! UNTIL NEXT TIME, DARLINGS...!"

Mettaton takes off like a robot and I am brought out of battle.

"Well that was certainly something," Alphys says. "O-oh! A-and th-those last questions...He wasn't s-supposed to ask that one..."

I am about to walk up one of the elevators when Alphys calls, "Wait! Wait!"

I turn back and everyone else turns to her too.

"Let me give you girls my ph-phone numbers!" Alphys says. "Th-then...m-maybe...If you need help, I could..."

Just as Lily hands her phone to Alphys, Alphys looks surprised.

"Wh...where'd you get that phone?! It's ANCIENT!" Alphys exclaims. "It doesn't even have texting. W-wait a second. L-let me update all of your girls's phones."

We all hand her our phones.

She walks off with them, then comes back a few minutes with the phones.

"Here," she says. "I upgraded the phones for you girls! It can do texting, items, it's got a key chain...I even signed all of you up for the underground's No. 1 social network! Now we're officially friends! Ehehehe! Hehe...heh...I'm going to the bathroom."
