Goddess (requested by Chip the Guest)
Trash. That's all she was, wasn't she? She stared at the abyss, the waterfall flowing. She raised her latest test score in front of her, 98%. Not enough. Never enough. Not for her, not for her parents. Her scaly tail was grazing the filthy water, and for a split second, it looked beautiful. Scales reflecting the water as water reflected the scales. Until she realized there was a beauty magazine that she was looking at instead. Her teacher had said she was beautiful, once. But she knew it was only to stop her from crying.
"Hey, why so glum?"
It was one of the girls in her class. Her crimson ponytail bouncing with every step. Her name was Undining or something like that.
"Is it because of that test?" Before she could protest, the other girl snatched the test out of her hands.
"98%!? THAT'S AMAZING! I'm lucky enough to get a 70! Oh uh, how rude of me. I'm Undyne!" Her fangs rearranged to a wide grin.
"I-I-I'm Alphys...And i-it's not that g-g-good."
"LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU! C'mon, chin up! This is great!"
And at that moment, she had a certain warmth from this Undyne. And at that moment she met her goddess.
