I flew back from Hotland into waterfall, about a 2 minute flight, considering i wasn't adventuring and walking everywhere. I crossed over into the cool air of the marshlands and began walking more, just because i wanted to. I walked along a little more, until i realized, i had absolutely no idea where Undyne lived. I pulled out my phone and dialed Papyrus, knowing that he would be at the training too.
"GREETINGS HUMAN!" I turned down the volume by about 90% and switched ears to prevent total hearing loss in one of them.
"Hey Paps, just wondering, where exactly does Undyne live? I've been searching for about 5 minutes already and don't know where she is."
"NOT TO WORRY HUMAN, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS FIND THE OPENING IN THE CENTER OF WATERFALL AND TAKE THE TOP RIGHT PATH TO HER HOUSE! I'LL BE THERE WAITING FOR YOU!"
"Thanks Papyrus, see you there." I hung up and walked off to where he said and where I knew. In about a minute, i made it and took the path he said, and sure enough, I found him there, in front of a house that looked like an enormous, angry, fish.
"AH! GOOD TO SEE YOU'VE FOUND YOUR WAY HUMAN! NOW THEN, BEFORE WE ENTER, I'LL JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT FOR THE FUTURE, GIVE UNDYNE ONE OF THESE, THEY'RE HER FAVORITE!" He pulled out, what looked like an enormous bone-shaped dog biscuit.
"Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Just knock on the door." He did, and after a few seconds, the "mouth" of the house opened and Undyne greeted us.
"Hey Papyrus, how's it going? You ready for our training lesson?"
"YOU BET I AM! I ALSO BROUGHT A FRIEND!" I appeared from behind him and waved, she grabbed me, put me in a choke hold and gave me a noogie.
"Hey Stryker, how's it going?!" I was released from her grip and got my hair back to the way it was before.
"I'm fine. Heh, you look a lot less threatening without your armor." She summoned a spear and pointed it towards me.
"You were saying?" We simply stared each other down, then burst out laughing; all the while Papyrus was amused, concerned and confused all at the same time.
"UMMM, THIS IS QUITE A CONFUSING TURN OF EVENTS; BUT NO MATTER! I THE GREAT PAPYRUS RELISH THE FACT THAT YOU TWO HAVE BECOME FRIENDS! ALSO, HERE YOU ARE UNDYNE, WE GOT THIS FOR YOU!" She took the bone and showed a strained face of appreciation, but it seemed to fool Papyrus, so that's cool.
"Thanks Papyrus, i'll just put it with the others..." She opened a drawer to reveal it full of those bones and she just shoved this one in as well. Suddenly, Papyrus looked at his wrist and spoke to us.
"WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME, I NEED TO GO AND UMMM CHECK ON.. STUFF. HAVE FUN YOU TWO!" He then took a running start and leaped through the window.
"Does he do that often?" I said while pointing at the window.
"Only when he brings along another person, which isn't often, but I have had to replace that window like 3 times."
"Well then. So, you asked me to come on by for training. What did you have in mind?" Suddenly I felt and heard my stomach make noises. "On second thought, why don't we eat first? I'm frikin starving." She gave me a smirk and then a chuckle before talking.
"You know what. Yeah, let's cook something up. But before that, I gotta tell you that I usually give Papyrus these cooking lessons, it's better since he's not really cut out to be royal guard material. Don't get me wrong, he's pretty tough, but he just can't bring himself to truly hurt anyone, he'd be ripped to smiling shreds out on the battlefield."
"Yeah, I get what you're saying. Wait, you teach him to cook? Are you the one who tells him to put glitter and glue in the spaghetti?" She looked at me with a look of horror and disgust.
"Nope, that's not what I teach him. My best guess is that he's trying to add his own "chef's flair" to the dish, something I told him he wasn't ready for. But, no matter! Let's start shall we?" I stood up, for some reason pumped about cooking.
"Let's go!" She grinned and jumped to the counter, I followed. She slammed her foot on the ground and somehow vegetables dropped from the ceiling.
"First, we need to make the sauce! Envision these vegetables as your greatest enemy, and POUND THEM TO DUST WITH YOUR FISTS!" I was really enjoying this, so much so that I may have gotten carried away and totally annihilated the vegetables, creating a shower of veggie juice everywhere.
"Ummmm oops?" She laughed nervously, but I could tell she was having fun too.
"Don't worry, we'll just scrape it into a bowl later. But for now, we add the noodles!" She slammed the floor once again and a box of spaghetti noodles and a pot dropped onto the stove. "Homemade noodles are the best, but I just buy the store brand. They're the cheapest! Now throw them into the pot with all your passion!" At this point, i didn't care about holding back anymore; I grabbed the box, jumped into the air and launched the entire thing into the pot with enough force to almost break through the bottom.
"How's that?" I asked with so much energy and jitteryness within me. She felt the same way.
"Yeah! That's the way! Now then, it's time to stir the pasta. As a general rule of thumb, the more you stir, the better it is!" This is where I stopped her.
"Wait, before that, don't we need to add water? Isn't it like, I dunno, necessary for spaghetti?" She thought about it and realized that makes sense.
"Huh, no wonder it's always burnt, hard and stuck to the pot." I facepalmed, took the pot, added water and put it back. Suddenly, things were intense again. She handed me a wooden spoon.
"Now stir, stir with all your might!" I placed it in and began creating a whirlpool, at the same time sending water and noodles everywhere. She held out her hand for me to stop. "Now let's turn up the heat! Let the stove symbolize your passion, let your hopes and dreams turn into a raging fire!" I began to turn the dial up, and the flames continued to rise.
"Hotter!" I turned it more.
"Hotter!" Even more.
"HOTTER!" I stopped and turned to her.
"You want it hotter?!"
"Yeah!"
"I can't hear you, do you want it hotter?!"
"Yeah!"
"One more time! DO YOU WANT IT HOTTER?!"
"YEAHHH!"
"FINE!" I charged up a beam and fired it directly at the stove, destroying it, the pasta and part of the wall behind it, which lucky just led to the outside; also, the house was on fire. After I snapped out of my phase, I realized just what I had done and nervously looked back at Undyne, thinking she would be furious, but she looked ready to burst in excitement. And burst she did.
"That. Was. AMAZING!" I looked at her in surprise, but she kept on going. "That has to be the best cooking lesson I've ever done, you put together all the ingredients like nobody's business, stirred it to perfection and the blast was the perfect finisher!" I decided to ask the obvious.
"Yeah, that was awesome, but what about your house? It's on fire."
"Eh, don't worry about it, that's the fourth time this year, I'll just crash with Papyrus until it's fixed." I just nodded and was kind of frightened that this happens on the regular. I decided to make cleanup easier and release my ki in an enveloping wind that extinguished the flames in an instant.
"There, now the damage isn't that bad."
"I gotta say, you are the most badass human I've ever met. Hey, maybe sometime in the future we can train together or something, maybe you can show me some moves?"
"Sure, I'll look forward to it. Hey, since you're going to Papyrus's, you mind if I tag along? I need a place to crash for the night too."
"Sure, let's go. There's a boat that can take us right to Snowdin." We walked out of the burnt house and down a path where there was a person in a cloak just waiting on a boat.
"Tralala, where to this fine evening?"
"We're going to Snowdin, here." Undyne threw him a 5g coin which... he... she... they, caught and allowed us to come aboard
"Snowdin it is. Tralala." The boat began moving about as fast as I could fly, so we made it in less than a minute. We waved goodbye when we got there and walked to Papyrus and Sans' house.
"Yeah, it's still as cold as yesterday." I flared up my ki a little in order to protect myself, then I saw Undyne was shivering a bit, so i shared it with her. She looked surprised, then looked at me.
"Neat trick man, wish you were around whenever I came to visit."
"Yeah, well, waddayagnnado?" We arrived at the house, but just as I was about to knock, Papyrus slammed the door open and greeted us, scaring the hell out of me.
"HELLO HUMAN, HELLO UNDYNE! HOW DID THE COOKING LESSON GO?!" I took a few deep breaths while Undyne explained it all. About 20 minutes later we got set up in the living room, Undyne got the couch and I got an inflatable mattress. It didn't take too long to fall asleep and I stayed out with no problem whatsoever.
When I woke up, I saw Undyne still snoring on the couch, but I heard and smelled something coming from the kitchen, I walked over to see sans of all people cooking breakfast.
"Heya kiddo, just thought I'd make something for all of us, if you haven't noticed, Undyne and Papyrus aren't the best for cooking."
"Yeah, I've noticed. So, what's on the menu?"
"Oh, nothing too special, just omelets, pancakes and hash browns, speaking of which, can you get them out of the deep fryer?" I walked over to the deep fryer and took them out, placing them on a paper towel covered plate. It didn't take too long for the other two to wake up and by the time that happened, everything was set up.
"WOWIE SANS, THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE!"
"Eh, it's nothin, just something I whipped up." Undyne proceeded to use a magical trident to eat, which I totally respected. I took a bite of the food, a little skeptical, but the moment I fully tasted it, I couldn't stop eating, the stuff was amazing. I finished and sat back in my chair.
"Man, that was amazing. Too bad I gotta go, need to have one more confrontation with Mettaton and all." I put my stuff on, waved goodbye to the others and flew off back to Hotland to confront the robot.
AN: So, this concludes cooking with Undyne. Next chapter will be really good, but till then, stay tuned. See you guys next time. Peace.
