I am just so shocked right now, to be honest. I'd normally say this at the end, but you guys' support is awesome and a bit scary when it lines up to what I'm doing.

Uh... Guest comment, if you don't see your review, there's a reason for that. It scared me to find out that someone guessed correctly. I did see the review though. Please don't reveal who it might be.

;D

The room was dimly lit. The only light came from tiny candles that sat on various tables. Clattering trays and a dull roar of chatter filled the room. Dark red cloths covered every table.

Sans walked to a table and sat down. While he would normally be dressed in casual and lazy attire, he was dressed nicely. He wore a suit and tie.

Mettaton did help with the clothes, so it was to be expected.

Sans sat at the table, playing with the tie around his neck as he waited for Toriel to arrive.

"man... hope tori didn't forget." Anxiety plagued his thoughts. He sighed. "stop it sans." He shook his head. "tori likes you. she won't forget."

As if on cue, Toriel walked into the resteraunt. She spotted Sans and smiled. She was wearing a light purple dress. It did not have the Delta Rune on it, however. She sat down in the seat in front of Sans. "Hello," she greeted. "I do hope I did not make you wait too long."

Sans shook his head. "nah. i just got here myself," Sans reassured.

A waiter walked over, carrying a pitcher of water. He poured two glasses of water and set them on the table. "What would you like to eat, sir and madam?" He handed the couple some menus.

Toriel glanced over the menu. "Do you serve snails?"

The man nodded. He glanced over at the skeleton. "And how about you sir?"

"uh..." Sans looked over the menu. "a burger, i guess."

The employee nodded and took back the menus. "And what would you like to drink?"

"I'm fine with water," Toriel insisted.

"me too."

"If you need anything else, feel free to let me know." The waiter walked away.

"so uh... it was nice of mettaton to help us with this thing." Sans gestured at the restaurant and the clothing they were all wearing.

Toriel nodded. "Yes. He's been very supportive of us from the moment we were forced onto his show."

Sans chuckled. "surprised there isn't a camera right now, to be honest."

The lights in the restaurant flickered.

"I agree, but this seems like a bit too much."

Sans poked at the collar of his suit. "heh. yeah. i feel so out of place here."

Toriel sighed. "But we all know how Mettaton is."

The lights flickered once again.

"heh. looks like they need to change the lightbulbs or something. that would certainly be a bright idea," Sans joked.

Toriel chuckled. "But seriously, watts wrong with the lights?"

Spotlights shined on the stage, revealing Mettaton, sporting his EX form.

"Oh," both Sans and Toriel said at the same time.

"should'a figured as much."

"Welcome everyone to my new show!" Mettaton paused for a moment. He clapped. "Today, we're here to help two lovebirds with their date! You've seen them before, and you'll see them again, this time of their own free will!"

The customers looked at Mettaton. Some were appalled, some were overjoyed. Most of them were confused.

"Sans and Toriel would you please come say hello to the cameras?" He gestured to the couple sitting at the table.

"now why'd i jinx it," Sans asked. He narrowed his gaze at the robot.

"It appears that the couple is feeling shy!" Mettaton snapped his fingers. "Luckily, someone from your own home jumped at the chance of working with me on this."

Papyrus burst through the door, carrying roses. "My dear brother! I, Papyrus, shall help you with your date!" He ran over to Toriel and Sans.

"bro..." Sans looked around. He grabbed his glass of water. "water you doing here?"

Papyrus grimaced at the pun. "Brother! I have been recruited by my idol to help you with your date," Papyrus cheered.

"that's good? but uh... do we really need something this extravagant?"

Papyrus nodded. "If it hadn't been for me calling, you would have taken her to a fast food grease hole," Papyrus grimaced. "So being the great brother I am, I decided to swallow my fear and talk with my favorite rectangle, Mettaton!"

"papyrus, i appreciate you and mettaton's help, but this all feels strange."

"Yes, Papyrus. We feel sort of out of place here," Toriel agreed.

"Oh." Papyrus looked to the ground. He glanced at the roses in his hand. Papyrus' demeanor immediately shifted. He handed the flowers to Toriel. "Sans bought these, but couldn't bring them to you, so I brought them!"

Toriel smiled at Papyrus. "Why thank you." Papyrus set the roses down. He dashed away.

Toriel and Sans sighed. "do you just wanna head somewhere else?"

Toriel nodded. "As much as Mettaton is trying to help, I do not feel comfortable here."

"so, where you wanna go?"

Toriel sat and pondered for a moment.

The waiter came by and sat their food down. "Do you need anything else?"

Sans nodded. "could we get this to go?" He set down some money, far more than the meal was worth. "rest's yours if we can get some to-go boxes."

The waiter nodded and grabbed the money. He placed the amount needed for the bill aside and pocketed the rest. He walked away. He came back a few moments later with two boxes. "Enjoy your evening." He walked away, smiling.

"so tori, now we can enjoy this food from somewhere else, and if you won't choose a place, i know somewhere that will be sure to work." He used his magic to place food into boxes. He held out his hand.

"I'll trust you."

Sans grinned.

"We've been given word that the couple in question has just paid their bills," Mettaton exclaimed. "Perhaps they'll delve in a little romance now. I see that Sans is holding out his hand."

Toriel grasped Sans hand. Within a few moments, they vanished. A note was left behind.

"Wait! They left! I forgot all about his shortcuts," Mettaton exclaimed. He ran over to the note.

"hey mettaton, me and tori 'preciate what you're doing but... it's not our style. also, thanks for hangin out with my bro. he looks up to ya. sincerely, sans."

Mettaton let out a groan. "We let them get away!"

Sans and Toriel appeared outside the Ruins. Tiny white flurries filled the air.

Toriel gasped. "It's the Ruins! You took us back to where we first met!"

Sans nodded. "thought you might 'preciate that."

Toriel hugged Sans. "I do!"

They sat down in the snow.

Sans pulled out the food. "snails for you and a burger for me." He handed Toriel a small black take-out box. Toriel was grinning.

"Who knew that humans also liked snails," Toriel asked. She began to eat.

Sans took a bite of his burger. "this tastes pretty good. it meats my standard." Sans winked. "how about your food?"

"They snailed it!" Both Sans and Toriel began to laugh. "Ah. I'm so glad that we were able to get out of that stuffy place. Snowdin is very relaxing."

"why do you think i chose it? besides, the town has a pun in the name. papyrus never realized it, and if he did, he'd be flurrious."

Toriel grinned. "I have snow problem with it!"

"ah. y'know, i gotta lot of fond memories here, from sledding down a hill with papyrus, to meeting you when practicing knock-knock jokes. it's a little bit strange that i don't live here anymore. sometimes i miss the underground, even if it was cramped and we couldn't see the sun or the stars."

"It was simpler down here, that's for sure."

Sans chuckled. "yeah. but, even though i sometimes miss this place, the surface is a whole lot better. i always was interested in the stars."

"It's amazing that we adore things that humans take for granted," Toriel muttered. She finished eating her snails and set the box aside. Sans was also finished with his food.

Sans nodded. He stretched and stood up. "welp, i think this was a productive date."

Toriel grabbed the boxes and stood up. "Not yet." She kissed the skeleton on the cheekbone. Sans immediately began to blush. Toriel giggled. "Oh Sans..."

"so uh, why don't we go back home now?"

Toriel giggled again. "Yes. Let's go home now." She grabbed the skeleton's hand. Sans used his shortcut to go back home.

"It's only for a little while," a voice echoed through the halls of the monster's house. It was a female's voice.

"SANS THE CEILING IS TALKING TO US," Papyrus exclaimed.

Sans and Toriel recently arrived back at their house. Sans decided to take a nap while Toriel wanted to read a book. Undyne, Alphys, Papyrus, Frisk, Chara, and Asriel were watching anime. Finally, Asgore was drinking tea with Gaster.

"Yeah! The ceiling needs to," Undyne started. Toriel glared at the fish women. "Stop talking," Undyne finished.

"Hello everyone, how's your evening going?"

Papyrus smiled at the ceiling. "Actually! It's going pretty well! Although, I don't really want to sit here and watch... whatever this is. I'd rather be making dinner, but Lady Toriel told me not to."

Sans walked into the room. "what is it papyrus," he asked sleepily. He rubbed his eye socket.

"The ceiling is trying to make conversations with us," Undyne yelled. "It's REALLY concerning!"

Alphys nodded.

"Look guys, if everyone can hear the voice, you don't need to be worried."

"unless we're all crazy," Sans offered. He grinned. "but seriously, why are you talking to us, ceiling?"

"I am known as the Author in some parts of the universe. I could explain what my role is in detail, but the explanation would leave you... floored!" The voice began to chuckle, as did Sans.

Papyrus growled. "You're a bad influence to even our ceiling, Sans!"

Gaster and Asgore, after hearing the commotion, walked into the room.

"Nah. I do this all the time. Anyway, your tales have generated enough positive energy from other beings like me that I can extend through the wall. So for a short time, people will ask questions. Actually... Gaster already got a question."

Gaster looked confused. "How did I already get a question?"

"Don't worry about it. Now, I'll leave for a short time. Goodbye monsters and humans living in this world!"

Everyone stared at the ceiling for a short time. "What," they asked. The only person who didn't seem to be shocked was Chara. She crossed her arms.

"This is stupid."

So guys, while I did ask for things to ask a while ago, if you see this message, it's too late, and this isn't a Q and A normally, so... I'm sorry if you see this.

There was no Papton, Papyrus just is starstruck by Mettaton and wants to be his friend. I have already said that I do not ship Papton, so yeah. Sorry.

Oh! The milestone, by the way, was 50 reviews and 7,777 views. Neato! I got it! :D

Also, expanding on what I said earlier, I was debating between three AU characters. Someone already requested one of them... 0.0

I had to remove that comment so others couldn't see. Let's not play the game, which AU did the author choose.

To answer a guest, Monster Kid didn't go to school because the monsters were kind of scared of letting their children in school. Monster Kid will be at school on the next day they go, however. (In other words, I forgot.)

Anyway, hope you liked this chapter! Bye guys!
