"Do you ever feel? Already buried deep, six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing! Do you know that there's still a chance for you. There's a spark in you, you just gotta…"

"Ignite the light…" We both sang in unison. The fireworks started igniting around us. The audience oohed and ahhed. "And let it shine! Just own the night! Like the 4th of July!"

Fireworks shot up into the sky all around us. I let Mettaton take the lead on the chorus.

"Cause baby you're a firework!" He sang beautifully in rhythm.

The fireworks exploded in the sky. The room exploded in cheers. Sparklers started up all around us as Mettaton knocked down the chorus like it was nothing. The crowd was rocking as I jumped back in.

"You don't have to feel, like a waste of space. You're original, cannot be replaced. If you only knew, what the future holds. After a hurricane comes a rainbow." I sang as best as I could.

I made my way to the giant rocket as Mettaton sang her part. I got in the seat and put on the makeshift seat belts. Alphys said she put in automatic parachutes. I hope she got em hooked up correctly. Mettaton rolled over to the rocket as he finished his part, he latched on as we starting singing the chorus for a second time. Cheers went up as the very large firework started firing.

It lifted off the ground as Mettaton kept on singing. Just like that we went off like the fireworks around us. Higher and higher we went. I wasn't screaming! No! You were screaming! Not me, no fear of blowing up at all! Heh heh heh…

Anyway, eventually we got high enough that it was time to eject. It wouldn't go. I was approaching the ceiling and the thing was supposed to explode at any time. I looked behind me to see if Mettaton was still… nope he wasn't. Great. Just great.

Last second it went. All the people in the crowd gasped. A large boom was heard as the super-mega-amazing firework exploded in the sky. Mettaton was still singing looking up to the sky as smoke enveloped most of the ceiling. The music paused for a moment.

An orange glow appeared in through the smoke. A heart shaped orange glow. The crowd erupted in cheers. Clearly thinking that they had their 6th soul in their possession. The cheers were short lived as a larger, more human like figure appeared floating down behind it.

I appeared out of the smoke. I sounded like the cheers grew and grew until it was a deafening roar. All for me! I guess Mettaton was clapping too. More to go along with the show than actual joy. The music started playing again as we were caught by a stationary rocket hung by ropes. It was sparking out the back. Fireworks exploded around us as we sang.

"Boom, boom, boom, even brighter than the moon, moon, moon!" We sang together.

We were lowered slowly to the ground. As soon as we touched the ground we hit the final part of the song.

"Boom, boom, boom! Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon!" We finished as a large blast of fireworks and sparklers blew up behind us.

The crowd went nuts all around us. Some wanted an encore. No thanks. After a while the crowd died down. Mettaton finally spoke.

"Thank you, thank you. What an amazing show! Let's check out our viewer count!" A screen appeared. It showed that we had a solid 9999 viewers! Somehow not 10,000, which was not ok. "Wow! By far that was our best show ever! 9999 viewers! Now I have an idea for when we reach the vaunted 10,000 viewers. But now darlings, it is time for our randomly scheduled commercials! 'Til next time!"

The cameras turned off only to turn back on.

"Oh and give a special thanks to Favian!" He said to all the cameras putting a hand around me.

The crowd went nuts as I waved, and bowed, gangnam styled, dabbed before the dab became a thing. The cameras then turned off. Alphys opened the door and I ran out to a cheering crowd.

"Ok Alphys that was amazing! Did you mean for me to almost explode with the rocket?"

"N-Yes! I wanted to add the dramatic effect to the song! So I made it almost jam up!"

"Sweet! Now does this elevator lead to New Home?" I asked.

"Yes. Are you going?"

"Yes, I have to convince Asgore to let me through that barrier. If he saw my performance then there's no way he will deny me from seeing my family again!"

The elevator opened and I stepped in.

"W-wait! There's something I need to tell you!" Alphys said quickly. "I haven't told you the truth."

I looked at her questionly.

"You will not be able to cross the barrier alone. A human needs a monster's soul to be able to cross the barrier." Alphys spoke dejectedly.

"So…?"

"You'll need to t-take Asgore's soul to be able to cross the barrier." She continued.

"..."

"You c-can't t-take Asgore away from us. H-he is the only person in the underground that can still give us hope. Please, I'm begging you, please don't kill Asgore."

I paused. He's the only person standing in my way from getting home and back to my sister. If I didn't get past him then I'd be stuck here. I saw the sadness in Alphys eyes. If I killed Asgore it would ruin the underground. Hadn't I caused the underground enough pain? I took out almost a whole dog army generation, who knows who else I killed.

I sighed. "F-fine, I promise I won't kill Asgore."

"R-really?! Favian, he'll kill you!" Alphys said surprised.

"I'll figure something out. Maybe I'll rattle his cage a little and it won't end in violence. People around here call him 'King Fluffybuns' right? There's no way a guy with that nickname could take me down, right?" I said confidently.

"R-right." Alphys replied less confidently.

"Well, got no time to lose! I'll be waiting for that anime watch party when we see each other again!" I pressed the button on the elevator to 'New Home'. "Cya later Alphys!"

"Goodbye Favian." Alphys said quietly. Definitely sounded like a final goodbye.

And now to New Home.
