Chapter 21
"frisk, you ready??" Frisk nodded determinedly as she climbed on his shoulder and they both exited the room. Sans threw the keys to the room over the counter at the lady monster there and they walked out of the MTT Resort. They were behind the Resort and there was a bridge in front of them. Sans was walking and frowned as he saw at the end of the bridge was The CORE.
"that's some poor decision of position right here." Frisk however didn't laugh as she saw two weird silhouettes up ahead. Sans eyes widened as his smile seemed to flatter.
"what the..?" That's when Alphys called.
"Huh? Who are they?" Sans frowned.
"we have no clue either alph.." The human girl panicked over the phone.
"N-Nobody else was supposed to be here...?" Alphys asked as they both could hear some franatic typing. Frisk frowned as she looked at her human companion. Sans inhaled as he grabbed the bridge of his nose.
"just what we needed, huh?" Frisk patted his shoulder reassuringly and he sighed.
"Well...We can't worry about it now!!" They walked forward, letting the call still go on so Alphys could guide them.
"man...haven't seen this place in a long time...by the way, frisk...i can't teleport in here. this place is made so that space and time technically can't be messed with around these parts. it's a special type of metal that does that..." Sans said looking around the lobby. Then he looked at Frisk. She was looking around at the inside of the building. It looked like pretty high technology and the floor was a dark blue with wires and lights running underneath. It looked like she was inside a chip. She eyed the elevator.
"Ready? T-This is it! Take the elevator up to the top of the Core." Frisk got off Sans shoulder and tried pushing the button. She frowned.
"wassup?" He asked, seeing it took way too long. He frowned as well as he saw Frisk trying to make the elevator work.
"shit-" He said under his breath.
"T-The elevator s-should be working...W-well then go to the right and keep heading up!" Sans frowned. Didn't they need to go to the left...? There was a pit on the right and he was pretty sure it could kill her. But Frisk was already leaving.
"frisk, hold on! damn it..." He followed after her. She may be small but she was fast. They hit a fire pit. Frisk tilted her head. Sans face-palmed.
"i was about to say..." Sans and Frisk waited for Alphys to explain.
"...That pit....I-it isn't on my map...Forget it! Try the left side!" Frisk sighed and turned around and started walking. It was cute to see her so small and walking a bit wobbly thanks to the tail. She would from time to time have this skipped step like a little child. He couldn't believe she was 21. Sometimes...They were walking through the left hallway. It had those lasers that Sans hated but they were there just for show, but they did have some sensors that would send information to the center room. Suddenly as Frisk was walking he saw two silhouettes approaching.
"Ok! You should be able to make it through here-- W-watch out!!" Alphys said through the phone and the two humans pulled Frisk into an encounter. As usual, Frisk would dodge, spare, mess with the humans, but she wouldn't attack. She managed to break the humans orbs, which apparently were the source of their attacks. After Frisk finished the encounter by sparing them one last time, Alphys spoke.
"Th-that was close..."
"alph..why are there so many humans here??" Alphys stayed silent.
"I...I don't know..B-but i-it's no problem, r-right? W-w-we've jut got to keep heading forward." Frisk frowned and raised her muzzle up like she was sniffing something. She grew in size and opened her eyes.
"what's wrong?"
"There's heat... and a sulfuric smell up ahead." Sans nodded.
"we'll see when we get there. stay on guard." She nodded and went back to her squinted eyes. Something about this place felt familiar to her...More like...she felt a familiar presence there....
'Memories are quite interesting if you ask me personally...No one remembers me anymore in my home...'
'But i remember you &*^%$# !!'
'Heheheh...you do, huh? Alright...let's get back to work now. We don't want to anger your teachers, do we?'
'I don't care about them...'
'I'm such a bad influence...Oh well, let's do some engineering then.'
Frisk took on a determined look as she was walking forwards. She couldn't give up now, she had all these humans depending on it. They didn't want to admit it...But she knew...they needed her. She found a new room, with a dark pit underneath it's bridges. Underground really had a thing for bridges, eh? There were lasers in front of it...and a giant blue and yellow one before the others. Frisk frowned. It was clear that once she deactivates the one in front of her the others will activate.
"L-looks like you need to deactivate t-the laser by pressing the switch...B-but the others will activate when you do...T-they'll come in this order...Orange. Orange. Blue. G-got i-it? Move until the last one." Frisk frowned. She had a gut feeling that if the map wasn't working, this wasn't right either. She may seem like a pet, but she was smart enough. She pressed the switch and stopped moving. Sans eyes widened as he watched the lasers go in the total opposite order. The monster looked unphased. It was after all what she thought. She walked across the glass circuit bridge and the other two humans stayed in silence.
"O-oh my god, are you ok?! I-i'm sorry...i gave you the wrong order. E-everything is f-fine, okay? L-let's just keep heading right!" Sans snarled.
"nothing about this is fine alphys!! she could have--"
"Sans." Frisk said bitterly. He stopped.
"Alphys is not the one at fault here...rather someone is messing with Alphy's info. Now, get the stick out of your ass and apologize." Frisk said turning around and crossing her arms. Sans stared at her for a few seconds before he shook himself.
"wow ok, hold on uhh- sorry alph....holy jesus that was hot what the hell?" Frisk rolled her eyes and started walking. She tossed Sans her phone. He caught it. Alphys started snickering.
"Hot you said?"
"...oh shush.." And they started walking again. Frisk was moving fast but she was also taking in every detail. From the metallic floor to the walls that had wires in them and the glowing vails and light-bulbs on the walls.
"A..A crossroads huh?" Alphys said as Frisk stopped in front of a two way crossroads.
"Tr...try going to the right...W-wait g-go upwards!!" Frisk completely ignored Alphys and turned to the right. Sans looked back only to see two massive armored human brutes exit that place. Frisk didn't care. She wasn't listening to Alphys at this point. Her information was being flawed by an unknown outside source and that made her senses tingle. There was a piece she didn't have top this puzzle and she hated it. No wonder Frisk always liked fixing things and playing detective. Her mind was sharp.
"M...more lasers...Okay...I..I won't mess around this time...I will just deactivate the lasers and let you through." Frisk doubted it. Sans was silent. He had his own thoughts weighting on his shoulders. Like the memories of his father...Of the time when he had hope...Before those ANIMALS fell down and the maniac took control...until apparently she got ressurrected.
"T-They're...not turning off..." Alphys said, her voice shaking. The human and the monster were waiting. Sans was surprised. Frisk however looked neutral as usual.
"I-I can't turn them off i...I-it's okk! I have this under control. I-i'm going to turn off the power for the whole node. Then you can walk across....anddd GO!" Frisk started walking through the deactivated lasers as the power went off. However she could hear something. Her ears twitched as she was walking through a really long set of lasers and she heard a soft machine like humming. She grabbed Sans arm and suddenly the lasers turned on. Blue lasers. They were stuck.
"T-the power! It's turning itself back on!!"
"More like someone is turning it on..." Frisk said frowning at the lasers.
"D-damn it...this isn't supposed to...I...I'll turn it off again. Move a little, then STOP. OK? y-you won't get hurt..." Frisk agreed. She and Sans started walking. It was moments like these she wished for a shortcut. They did this stop and go game for some time, until both of them crossed safely.
"S-see? I-i have everything under control!!" Frisk sighed.
"Don't lie to yourself...it's ok to not be able to do something...and it isn't your fault, ok? Someone else is here. It's clear." Alphys sighed.
"I-i don't know what you should do...This doesn't look like my map at all...I'm sorry..I-i'll go..." Frisk and Sans looked at each other as they stepped into the next hallway. Sans nudged her forward a bit as they ended up at another crossroad with a save-point in the middle of it. They didn't want her to die halfway through this whole thing after all...This time the smell she was feeling was ozone. She sniffed a bit around.
"wha'cha got?" He asked looking around.
"Ozone..." Sans nodded.
"if i remember correctly...we should go to the left." Frisk nodded. They started walking and they found a hallway with a whole lot of clouds in it. There were ice cubes being dropped in. So this is where the ozone smell was coming from...also a bit of sulfur. They stepped forward and found themselves at another puzzle.;
"i swear to god the amount of puzzles exceeds even paps..." Frisk sighed.
"Agreed..." They stepped inside and BEHOLD! another game puzzle with the arcade type of style. Yeyyy..Great! She quickly solved it and they moved on to the next room. It was a huge bridge. Different humans approached and left. Frisk was growing irritated. Sans was just growing angrier. After many fights they ended up at a switch. What that switch did? Apparently they didn't know yet. So Frisk was walking around, dragging Sans in their blind search for something when they found a turned off laser. Behind the laser another puzzle.
"Who made this place. I swear to god i just want to talk.." Frisk said hitting her palm with her fist. Sans snorted.
"we all do...don't worry..." Frisk stepped in and started controlling the blocks and solved the puzzle. They left and now was the question...where are they going now?? They walked in another cloudy room. Frisk sniffed around and frowned even more.
"I smell rust." Sans snorted.
"good job kitten." Frisk rolled her eyes and easily slid her leg and tripped Sans who fell on the bridge. He got up and rubbed his butt.
"you know that hurt right?" Frisk smirked.
"meow, bitch. Now let's go, this place is driving me mad." Sans narrowed his eyes.
"i think that is clear...sheesh..." He said, still rubbing the spot where he got hurt. They found an elevator and a room that looked like a puzzle room. Frisk raised an eye-brow as she saw the elevator was blocked.
"So we need to go in the ominous looking ass puzzle room again. weeeee...fun." Sans sighed.
"i'm staying out on this one..." Frisk shrugged and stepped in. That...didn't look like a puzzle room. Suddenly the doors closed behind her and the bridge to the doors started retracting. She heard some banging on the door.
"FRISK!...DAMN IT!!" Another bang then it was silence.
"OH YES. THERE YOU ARE, DARLING!" Sans was waiting outside trying to find a way to open the door. He could only hear muffled voices inside. Frisk was staring right at the robot's screen.
"IT'S TIME TO HAVE OUR LITTLE SHOWDOWN. IT'S TIME TO FINALLY STOP THE 'MULFUNCTIONING ROBOT'...NOT!! GET REAL...IT WAS ALL A SHOW! AN ACT!"" Frisk winced as his volume increased. He surely was a loud one. But she stood her ground.
"I may look like a pet, Mettaton...BUT i do have a brain unlike others. I knew the whole time." Mettaton was taken aback at her courage.
"MY MY, YOU ARE QUITE THE COURAGEOUS...SO YOU KNEW THAT...AS SHE WATCHED YOU ON THE SCREEN SHE GREW ATTACHED TO YOUR ADVENTURE. SHE DESPERATELY WANTED TO BE A PART OF IT! SO SHE INSERTED HERSELF INTO THE STORY! SHE REACTIVATED PUZZLES, SHE DEACTIVATED ELEVATORS, SHE ENLISTED ME TO TORMET YOU!" Frisk gestured for him to go on. She was growing really angered by this robot.
"Listen, Mettaton. It's wonderful...a really a touching story..But do i look like i haven't figured it out? Just as i figured out how much you miss being human." Frisk said unphased. The robot's screen froze.
"HOW DID...YOU KNOW I USED TO BE HUMAN..." Frisk shrugged.
"Napstablook told me..." She said opening her eyes. They were pink and the robot almost forgot how to speak when he saw them.
"...B-BLOOKY...? NO....WHAT I WANT TO SAY....FOCUS....ALPHYS HAS BEEN FOOLING YOU...AND SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO MAKE YOU THINK SHE'S THE GREAT PERSON SHE'S NOT." Frisk shrugged.
"No one is great. We've all got our personal baggage. Alphys got her own quite heavy one. I can tell." The robot flickered a bit. Outside however Alphys came.
"S-Sans! W-where is Frisk?!" Alphys asked panicked as she started walking towards the human who tried breaking down the door.
"stuck in there with your tin-can..." Alphys gasped.
"A-And y-you c-can't teleport i-inside...?" He sighed and grabbed the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
"no alph..i can't..this whole place was built by HIM...you actually think he would let something tear through time and space inside his creation? he may have been mad...but he wasn't dumb." Alphys nodded.
"I h-hope s-she's o-ok.." Sans looked at the door and frowned.
"for now...i know she is....damn it sweetheart don't die on me..." He said punching the door one more time. Frisk jumped up at the bang, as it took her by surprise. The robot and her were standing in silence. The robot cleared his non-existent throat.
"LISTEN, I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS PREDICTABLE CHARADE. I HAVE NO DESIRE TO HARM MONSTERS...FAR FROM IT. I WISH TO ENTERTAIN! AFTER ALL, THE AUDIENCE DESERVES A GOOD SHOW, DON'T THEY...? AND WHAT'S A GOOD SHOW WITHOUT A PLOT TWIST??" Lights started swarling around.
"Oh..fuck no." All three said apart from Mettaton who started flickering, a giant M appearing on the screen.
"SORRY FOLKS! THE OLD PROGRAM'S BEEN CANCELLED! BUT WE'VE GOT A FINALE THAT WILL DRIVE YOU WILD!" The platform Frisk and Mettaton stood on shook from it's core and it raised up.
"what the hell is happening in there?!" Sans asked as him and Alphys stood up from the shaking that happened.
"W-wait...F-FRISK!! S-SHE'S INSIDE!!" Alphys suddenly got a notification from HumanTV. She opened it only to find they were live right now. Mettaton was seriously using Frisk for views. Sans eyes widened and he froze.
"THAT PIECE OF SHIT!!" He said hitting the door again. They continued to watch. Inside Frisk was getting up. The robot was flickering and bobbing around.
"REAL DRAMA! REAL BLOODSHED! REAL ACTION! ON OUR NEW SHOW...'ATTACK OF THE KILLER ROBOT'!!" Frisk's sockets widened and she got pulled in an encounter. There was her red determined soul. Mettaton was waving around in front of the black and white box.
"YES! I HIRED THE HUMANS TO KILL YOU! I REARRANGED THE CORE! THAT, HOWEVER WAS A SHORT-SIGHTED PLAN! YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER?? KILLING YOU MYSELF!" Frisk turned her soul yellow and tried shooting at him. It was worth a shot. Mettaton wasn't budged.
"THAT WORTHLESS PEA-SHOOTER OF AN ATTACK WILL NOT WORK ON ME...HOWEVER I AM IMPRESSED THAT A MONSTER CAN DO SUCH THING ON THEIR OWN...BUT SERIOUSLY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT ACTING IS?!" Frisk sighed in annoyance. She hated this robot's ego.
"LISTEN DARLING...I'VE SEEN YOU FIGHT...YOU'RE WEAK!" Frisk looked at the robot and her eyes changed to a crimson red.
"I could dismantle you limb to limb if i chose to....do NOT call me weak tin-can..." The robot backed away a bit. Mettaton coughed awkwardly.
"FINE. YOU MAY BE STRONG...BUT HUMANS ARE STRONGER! NOT TO MENTION A HUMAN-ROBOT!..IT'S ANYWAYS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT IF YOU CONTINUE FORWARD...YOU AND YOUR SOUL WILL BE TAKEN BY ASGORE...AND WITH IT HE WILL DESTROY MONSTERKIND." Frisk stiffened a bit at the reminder. Attacks started coming. Frisk dodged them with ease.
"BUT IF I GET YOUR SOUL..I CAN STOP HIS PLAN! I CAN SAVE MONSTERKIND FROM DESTRUCTION!" Frisk scrunched her nose up.
"But you want something in return." The robot stopped.
"Nothing you want or give ever comes for free as you can see for yourself....So what is that you would benefit you by taking my soul?...Wait a second...you want to be a star don'cha?" The robot was uncomfortable at her ability to read him so easily.
"OH! That's priceless...what makes you think you can make it in that cold dead place?" The robot stopped moving completely.
"COLD...? BUT THE ART-- T-THE MOVIES--" Frisk smirked.
"BUT SERIOUSLY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT ACTING IS?!" Frisk said, mimicking the robot. Their screen started glowing red.
"YOU ARE TRYING TO DECIEVE ME! YOUR PETTY TRICKS WON'T WORK ON ME, MONSTER!! HUNDREDS...THOUSANDS...EVEN MILLIONS OF MONSTERS WILL WATCH ME!!" Frisk snarled. He was as egoistic as he was missing a brain. There were so many monsters on the Surface...that meant automatically a lot of celebrities and celebrity wanna-be's. But he wasn't getting the point. He must have been THAT used to center stage.
"GLITZ! GLAMOUR! I WILL FINALLY HAVE THEM ALL!! SO WHAT IF A FEW PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE?? THAT'S SHOW BIZZ BABY!!"
"But sho biz is filled with the most egocentric people i hope you know that right?" The robot frowned as more attacks came her way.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW??" Frisk smirked.
"That your time is up!" She swiftly went behind the robot and flipped his switch.
"DID. YOU. JUST. FLIP. MY. SWITCH...?" The robot started going crazy. He was spinning around, his screen flickering and she almost thought he would explode. But she saw the blueprints on Alphys table. She knew what she was getting into. A very tiring fight, that's for sure.
"Ohhh my. If you flipped my switch that can only mean one thing." Said a familiar voice. Frisk scoffed.
"You're desperate for the premiere of my new body...How rude...Lucky for you i have been ACHING to show this off for a long time..As a thanks i will give you a handsome reward..i will make your last living moments...ABSOLUTELY beautiful!"
|touch her tin-can i fucking dare you..." Sans said snarling at the screen as both him and the scientist were watching from outside.
An interesting screen appeared behind the human-robot. It was a ratings screen...but Frisk was concentrated on the pink abomination in front of her. He was handsome for human standards. He had that 'perfect face' with dark wabi hair, swaying alongside him and MAN THOSE LEGS!! He was posing in all types of ways. But she noticed one thing...His weak spot was the center of his body in a heart shapped container in his chest....exactly where his soul was.
"Lights! camera! ACTION!!" The attacks came and Frisk wasn't even shocked to see...they were magical legs. OF COURSE! Egocentric was starting to be an understatement in this conversation...But he knew it was a facade. He knew about his promise...his cousin..his hopelessness....She knew his story, not as the 'magical entartaining robot' but as Mettaton himself. And that was enough to determine her to get through to him. If he will play like this might as well play along. For every dodge and hit in his magical attacks the ratings would grow. When it was Frisk's turn, she posed dramatically. The robot was shocked but his audience LOVED it. He smiled.
"DRAMA! Romance~! Blood-shed!" He said as more attacks came. Frisk dodged dramatically, earning more ratings. She then remembered something. She took out her cup from yesterday from her inventory and drank some smoothie. That got the ratings even higher.
"I am the idol everyone craves!!" Mettaton said as more attacks came for her. She dodged almost all of them but a leg hit her in the head. She rubbed the spot and frowned. She accidently bit her tongue so she was now bleeding. She spat the blood on the floor. The robot looked pleased. Her HP dropped.
"Smile for the camera, darling~" Mettaton said smugly as more attacks came. Frisk never gave up hope. Suddenly a floating keyboard appeared in front of her randomly.
"Time for a pop-quiz! Have fun~" The question was what she liked most about mettaton. She laughed and wrote legs. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't having fun at this point. The audience loved the answear. Frisk picked up the stick from her inventory and she threw it at mettaton. He caught it in his mouth and winked. That wink didn't feel like what Sans would do. Frisk shuddered a bit at that.
"You showed our heart through that answear...it's my turn to show mine!" Frisk felt bad to do this but she started shooting the tiny human heart. It was white and it had a pink-ish hue to it. She shot it a few times and the robot summoned his soul back, his HP was however down. She knew she won;t kill him, no chance...but...She didn't like the thought of doing this either. They kept going and going. More attacks, more silly poses and eating and dumb scene play. At one point he even gave Frisk a breaktime...He finally showed his soul again. Frisk apologized as she started shooting the tiny human heart again. Frisk covered her mouth as his arms disassambled.
"O-oh m-my g-god.." Alphys said in shock. Sans put a reassuring hand on the human's back.
"i'm sorry alph...she needs to get out alive.." Alphys nodded.
"I understand..." She said sadly. Sans looked at the screen again.
"come on sweetheart...you're so close..." He said, more to himself.
"A-arms...? Who needs arms....with legs like these! I'm still going to win, darling!" They were fighting again. Frisk was growing tired and the robot's attacks were increasing speed and force. She was bleeding.
"ENOUGH! Do you really want monsterkind to perish? Or do you just believe in yourself that much?" Frisk scoffed.
"I may be suicidal but i am not stupid, Mettaton. As for faith, i've lost it a long time ago..." The robot stiffened a bit at the mention of suicide...but he regained his composure quickly.
"Well, darling...it's either me or you!" Frisk shrugged.
"Or neither." The robot frowned. It was clear he hated Frisk's answears.
"BUT I WILL WIN! Witness the true power of monsterkind's star!!" Frisk frowned as well as the tiny heart came out again. She shot it. Frisk posed dramatically as the robots legs fell off. She felt awful.
"Are YOU the star...? Can you protect monsterkind?" Frisk shook her head.
"But i can SAVE humanity." The robot's eyes went blank for a second at the remark. The heart came out again. Frisk was trying to shoot it but i twas sending direct attacks towards her. She was now bleeding heavily. Mettaton however froze and he beamed as he saw he reached 10,000 viewers.
"LOOK AT THE RATINGS! THIS IS THE MOST VIEWS I'VE EVER HAD! WE'VE REACHED THE VIEWER CALL-IN MILESTONE!! ONE LUCKY VIEWER WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO TALK TO ME....BEFORE I LEAVE THE UNDERGROUND FOREVER!!" silence.
"LET'S SEE WHO CALLS FIRST!!" The phone rang and the answearing button was pressed.
"H! YOU'RE ON TV! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ON OUR LAST SHOW??"
"....oh....hi mettaton..........i really like watching your show....my life is pretty broing but.......seeing you on screen brought excitement to my life...vicariously.......i can't tell but.....i guess this is the last episode...?..........i'll miss you.......mettaton.........oh....i didn't mean to talk so long........oh.........." Mettaton snapped out of his haze.
"NO! WAIT BLOOKY--....h...THEY ALREADY HUNG UP....." His face was sad for a second before he smiled.
"I'LL TAKE ANOTHER CALLER!!" More and more callers were speaking. Each and everyone saying they will miss him. His soul was starting to fil with guilt.
"S-Sans..are y-you tearing up..?" Sans looked away.
"no..?" Alphys raised an eye-brow unimpressed.
"i just have something in my eye..." He said shrugging.
"T-tears..?" She asked.
"....maybe..." He said looking away again.
"AH..I...I SEE....DARLING...PERHAPS IS BETTER IF I STAY HERE FOR A WHILE...MONSTERS ALREADY HAVE STARS AND IDOLS...BUT HUMANS...THEY ONLY HAVE ME...IF I LEFT...THE UNDERGROUND WOULD LOSE IT'S SPARK." Frisk chuckled.
"Glad you finally figured it out..." Mettaton nodded.
"OF COURSE YOU WOULD KNOW...YOU ARE VERY CLEVER AND STRONG....PERHAPS..STRONG ENOUGH TO GET PAST ASGORE!" Frisk smiled. She got closer to the robot as he saw his eyes were flickering with black.
"Do not fret...i will put you back together in no time.." The robot beamed as the encounter faded and she took out her phone. She connected it to the robot so he could stay powered on and started screwing back his limbs. It was an easy task since all that happened was some screwes went lose from the shock sent through his body by his soul. Alphys and Sans finally could walk in and see Frisk sitting down and screwing his last limb back on. Mettaton smiled.
"HELLO, DARLINGS!" Sans snarled.
"listen tin-can..you ever touch her again and i will personally make you a food can..." He said. Alphys smiled at Frisk.
"Th-Thank you f-for saving him...I-it's easier to get him fixed when he is powered on." Frisk waved her hand dismissively to both of them.
"Don't mention it." She helped the robot up who left first then the other three continued towards the elevator. Frisk and Sans were about to call the elevator when Alphys stopped them.
"I...I want to do something f-first...i-i believe y-you figured out by now y-you also need a human soul to cross the barrier.." Frisk nodded. It was something that she realized from the writings back in waterfall.
"W-well..there's also a-another secret i n-need to share with e-everyone i k-know...t-the o-others already found out...It's your turn...." Frisk raised a brow and Sans did as well.
"It's time i s-show you Frisk...t-the TRUTH."
"Sometimes the truth is right in front of us but we just don't realize it.."
"Hey..^%$#$...Are you hiding anything from me..?"
"Sometimes it's better to hide the truth...but i promise you, you will find it soon."
"You're so cryptic.."
"Hehehe....I only have one advice for you...Don't always trust your eyes..."
