ExperimentTale

And the tea with Muffet, that's how the spider lady introduced herself, was done, it was time for Frisk and her companions to move forward. She hasn't felt this accomplished and happy in so long it almost seemed sureal..They used the elevator again and now they were in front a flight of stairs that supposedly took them to the MTT Resort. They came forward and ended up in front of a fancy hotel. But Frisk instead chose to go to the alleyway next to it. That's where she met two best friend's Bratty and Catty. 'they were like TOTALLY wicked' pfft..She talked to them a bit and instantly regretted bringing Metta into the conversation. They ended up talking too much about him. She didn't need to really ask where the robot came from. She already knew that inside the robot lived a ghost monster that was Blooky's cousin (yeah she liked the nickname so what?). They exited the 'store' and got back to the front where a red carpet and flowers were aligned in front of the building. It looked like something out of a TV show..She didn't really know, actually she never watched that much TV back up...

"ok so we do a quick passing through here right? then we get to the core and that's that."

"Oh no no no! You weirdo need to fill your batteries! i don't want you running out of energy when we are so close. We are staying the night here." Awww Chara is so cute when she pretends she actually get's something good out of her resting.

"chara is right human. You didn't eat since back in Snowdin with the smiley trashbag over here. I think it's a good time to actually rest and fill up on energy just like she said. And at least try to sleep a little" Wow you really picking sides..? heh of course he picked her. 

"Come on kiddo i know a shortcut" And there was that lazy wink. Well she had nothing better to do so she took his hand and they walked the way they came until suddenly they were inside a fancy restaurant.

"great thanks for treating me, bucko" Frisk wanted to glare but the bandana wouldn't allow it..this numbskull..

"heyyyy Flowey wanna check something out in the hallway" Chara what are you doing..?

"Sureeee Chara let's go" And the two dissapeared through the door leadig out. Great..She couldn't help the flush that came over her face when she sat down with the skeleton.

"well here we are..so. your journey's almost over,huh..?"

Frisk looked down at the floor...it was almost over, wasn't it?

"you must really wanna go home you know..? going through all this stuff to do just that.."

Home..oh how she didn't want to go there..what even was her home anymore..? but she was determined to help the monsters.

"hey. I  know the feeling buddo." huh?

"Though sometimes it's better to take what's given to you.....Or at least i would have said that before you gave me hope for better times.." That makes her happy..'hope'..she liked that word..

"hey. let me tell ya a story..huh?"

She smiled and noded. She already knew where this was going. She figured out the voice behind the door at Toriel's that Chara told her about was him. it must be about the promise he made..

"so i'm a sentry in snowdin forest, right..?"

"You are a sentry in a lot of places, lazybones"

"heh..it's a pretty boring job if you ask me. Fortunately deep in the forest.."

"there's a huge locked door..?"

Now clearly threw him off. he looked at her with empty sockets until he shook his head and smiled.

"But it's perfect for knock knock jokes isn't it..?" Pfft..that wink again.

"so you one day knocked them out like you usually do, but someone actually answeared..?"

"im starting to think you are a stalker buddy" His smile grew but she knew it was a joke. he was a friend after all.

*don't trust your senses*

"what can i say, im like a ninja"

"why 'ninja' tell me what you know then..?"

"that you made knock knock jokes with the lady in the ruins? Chara heard you one night and told me..it was funny when i realized it was you doing the jokes"

"did the puns gave it away..?"

"entirely" pfft poor guy was now blushing again. She's too old for you numbskull.Give up, she ships her with Asgore. After all they will get their child back.

"but one day she told me something strange. She wasn't laughing like usual. i asked what's wrong and she told me about the human in the ruins.." now this is the part where it get's interesting. Is he gonna try to scare her or something..? He probably will.

*not everything can be predicted*

"She made me promise to keep an eye socket out for ya. I hate making promises, and i don't even know her name, but someone who sincerely likes bad jokes.. has an integrity you can't say 'no' to."

"so that's why you didn't say no to me? wow you have low standarts" They both laughed at that. 

"do you get what i am saying...that promise i made to her...if she hadn't said anything.."

Huh? empty sockets again..it's creepy when he does that..she can't lie.

"y o u ' d    b e   d e a d   w h e r e   y o u    s t a n d ."

*if not for your determination you'd be dead where you stand, #15* 

Damn hitting hard aren't you...so much alike...

"I'm just joking with you" Again that wink..but she knew it was true. She knows about the resets and the loops. this guy suffered in a world where he watched his loved ones die over and over and over again..until hope drained from him..every last bit...such a fate can only get you so far without suffering..and that far isn't far at all.

"besides, i have done a great job protecting you"

"Numbskull, i saved your bones twice! don't get so cocky now! haha!" She crossed her arms to show her opinion.

"Ok ok i give ya credit for that one. But come on now i did keep and eye socket out. Not my fault you didn't need it" he raised his hands up in a surrendering gesture.

"take care of yourself, kid" huh..?

"because someone really cares about you..." That line...

*OH THANK GOD YOU ARE OK FRISKY*

*Huh..? %$#@!@..?*

*He was worried sick about you kid...tsk..these filthy, men torturing kids..*

*THANK YOU SO MUCH! Are you hurt Frisky?! is anything broken?!*

*n-no i-im fine...*

*well i better get back to my work. Take care kiddos...you especially little missy...*

Because someone really cares about you

"heh i haven't hear a line like that in ages. But it goes for you too mister.." he was looking at her, full attention.

"Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, the woman behind the door, the King..and even your dad..they all care for you..so promise me ou will take care, and i will take care too ok?" She lifted her pinky finger.Sans raised a brow-bone. She shook her head took his hand and intertwined their pinkies. She shook their hands and let go. the skeleton was looking at his hand confused.

"There! you have a pinky promise now. You can't even break it!" Sans smiled and laughed a bit. Then he blushed. 

"you're nice, kiddo" 

Sans looked away for a second before giving her a hand.

"I want to show you something...trust me.."

*trust is a lie*

She took his hand.They both teleported in Sans room. From there they entered a secret room with a machine in it.

"you were trying to bring him back from the void...oh you poor thing.." She couldn't help the feeling she neede to hug the skeleton in front of her. So she did. And he told her how he was an apprentice, how he got tested on only once (that's how he got his powers) and how he and Papyrus were made artificially. These poor brothers. They were left alone so young and then poor Sans had to work so many jobs to pay for both him and paps. Thankfully Grillby has helped them when they needed a hand. 

They went downstairs to find Undyne and papyrus playing video games and Papyrus losing. They got Papyrus away while Undyne played a solo with bots. Sans told him everything and to see the way his brother wasn't mad, and to see how the two just bonded even more melted Frisk's heart. Papyrus was such a cinammon roll. After that the oder skeleton gave her a hand. The human and him teleported back to the hotel where they met Flowey and Chara fighting in front of a poor cat monster behind a counter thinking, probably, that Flowey was crazy. Frisk quickly came over to the two.

"Flowey stop that you are scaring the poor monster"

"tsk...you got lucky, Chara.."

"I am so sorry about that..umm 'burgerpants'...what an awful nickname to give! What is your real name sir..?"

The cat monster actually stopped smilling and look at the human and genuinley smiled a little.

"m-my name is Tobias..."

"well i am sorry sir..what was Flowey yelling about..?"

"oh if he should get a cheeseburger which we don't even sell" The last part was more spitting in their faces but Frisk didn't let that flatter her smile.

"Then let's see i want a glamburger if you don't mind..Actually make that 3. I wouldn't want my friends not to eat anything. don't worry i will tip you more since it's pretty late after all."

the monster, that apperently was named Tobias, seemed content and gave them 3 glamburgers and a drink on the house for her. She tipped the cat just like she promised and he smiled.

"You know..i haven't met someone so nice in a long time... Thank you human... You can come by any time" 

Frisk smilled and reasured the monster it was no problem. They then proceeded past the waterfountain to a desk where a small mouse monster was working. They checked in a room, seeing one room had 2 beds. They went up and entered. Just as frisk expected: it looked fancy just like the lobby. She got on one of the beds and looked at the other 2 actual solid monsters.

"So how do we sleep? Flowey you are small so you can either sleep with me or with Sans"

Flowey looked disgusted for a second then he said.

"No doubt with you. I am not sharing the bed with the smiley trashbag"

"Same feelings here weed. Who knows what plant killer i use after all" Sans shrugged and dropped on the other bed closing his eye sockets.

Frisk took a shower and after that they all ate what they had. Flowey killed? half of his glamburger and shared it with Chara. She didn't question how he did that..she wanted to get this sleeping thing over as soon as possible. She just hoped no one would be seeing her nightmares... But the unlucky one her was Sans...because he was the one that would get a ticket for a free trip down Frisk's memory lane.

-------------

Sans hated nightmares but he was sure THIS wasn't his nightmare at all. Or not the usual ones.

*Listen #15 it's just one hour in the panic room. It's your fault for disobeying after all.*

*IT WASN'T ME* *struggling noises*

*LISTEN I AM DONE WITH YOUR DISRESPECT! WE NEED YOU IN THE GOD DAMN ROOM AND THAT'S IT! SCREW THE EXCUSES I HAD BEFORE!*

*&^%$#@ HELP ME PLEASE*

*oh you sweet sweet little girl...don't you know..?*

D A N G E R

*he is DEAD!* *slap*

Y O U   A R E   I N    D A N G E R 

*i actually hoped you would get along with what was left of him...but oh well*

*w-what did you d-do..?*sniff sniff**

*the incinerator is quite a useful wepon don't you agree*

T O X I C

G E T   O U T!

G   E   T       O   U   T   !

*see you later...F^%$#@...*

y o u   a r e    f a l l i n g . . .   g e t   b a c k u p. . . GET UP F^%$#@&! GET UP! 

light...you are a light..

and you are the only one that can save us from having the same fate...as him...

SAVE US!

"SANS! GET UP!" oh jesus what was THAT?!

"IM UP!" His eye is flaring damn it..

"come on, lazybones" And the human gave him a hand as he got up. 6 hours of sleep? that must be a record.

And so they went downstairs left the key and the G's behind the counter for the mouse lady to get it. And their "adventure" continues. But Sans couldn't shake the nightmare he had. It was so sudden. It made no sense. It had no start no ending, like a middle piece of a puzzle misssing the rest of the puzzle. But he can't be distracted now. He needs to be on alert now that they,re entering the Core.Wait is that someone they just saw..

"Wasn't there supposed to be noboy here..?"

"uhh human i don't think this is a good idea.."

"Umm i maybe be a ghost but you guys can easily be killed.."

The human looked at Chara confused.

"They didn't feel like a threat"

"Right..you have that weird sense of yours don't you.."

Now the skeleton had to ask.

"they can FEEL a threat?! what are they an ant?!"

"pfft seeing i can't actually carry 100x my weight i don't think so"

"smarty-pants aren't you..ANTS EAT ME SO I HATE ANTS!" poor weed.

"Oh come onnn. Flower you going to overcome your fears"

"NOW THIS! THIS IS THE COMEDIANS FAULT! i am supposed to be the one corrupting!"

"no comment, maniac. no comment." 

So they kept going. They met a few weird monsters that were different than the rest and Alphys seemed to have problems hacking into the system to help them.

"i-i don't know w-why this is h-happening! i-im n-not pretending t-this time t-to play h-hero.."

"It's fine Alph..Don''t worry. We can do this."

"o-ok! y-yeah we c-can!"

The lasers were going on and off, the puzzels were changing and these monsters kept attacking. It didn't help Sans was out of it because of the memories he had of Gaster. That's when they came across a room in which they met Mettaton.

"I KNOW ALPHYS STOPPED THE PLAN WITH THE 'MALFUNCTIONING ROBOT' BUT I NEED TO SEE SOMETHING FOR MYSELF...HOW HIGH..."

"CAN MY RATINGS GET FROM A FIGHT BETWEEN YOU AND ME" The three companions of the human got shoved to the side..Damn the kid is on their own. Monsters rushed to hold the three down. Hope that the bucko knows what they are doing...because he surely doesn't.

And so it started. Dramatic posing, dancing and anything that would raise the ratings..This was getting out of hand. But the human managed to stop Mettaton. That's when they said:

"metta..i appreciate the fact you trust me with your raitings, but i will give you some advice...Never get someone like me on Tv up on the surface.. your ratings will go down... And let us pass, before i leave you without some bodyparts..G O T   I T..?" Mettaton freed us and apologized. The human hugged him and reasured him that he was 'the biggest star'...jeez he almost killed you in his little show kiddo..

And so Alphys came in the room: "W-what are y-you d-doing M-metta?"

"OH IM SORRY ALPHYS DEAR! BUT DON'T WORRY THE HUMAN IS PERFECTLY FINE AND UNHARMED" The human scoffed. They must be pissed for getting in a fight over nothing. But they kept going to the elevator. that's when the human remebered something..

"OH ALPHYS! wanna meet me at the dump in 30 minutes..?" They smirked. what were they doing.. they were so close to getting to the castle..

"o-oh s-sure! b-but don't forget to come and d-do the DT extraction a-after o-ok?"

"okkkk~" and they waved, then they truned twords the skeleton, the maniac, and the weed. "sans teleport us to your house" no wayyy...They really wanted to help everyone didn't they...heh. 

"one trip to snowdin coming right up" And there they were. The human took Undyne and told her the plan she had. Apperently they would meet Alphys, give her a note written by Undyne, then Undyne would come out when the human said she was the one that wrote it.

And so everything went according to plan. Alphys showed up buttt:

"o-oh h-human i d-didn't k-know y-you liked m-me. O-ok l-lets d-date."

PFTTTT BUAHAHAHAH!

"o-oh Alph..umm i didn't write the n-no--"

"wow s-so much p-passion! T-this is just l-like an anime"

The poor human. He, Flowey and Chara were laughing their asses off.

"Alp--"

"oh how i wish i c-coul k-kiss y-you u-under the c-cherry b-blossom t-tree from anime--"

"ALPH! UNDYNE WROTE THE NOTE NOT ME!" Oh my goddd...

". . ."

". . ."

"U-UNDYNE?!"

"heya, alphys,,"

"OH MY G-GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS I--" And Alphys now started..what was the term she used? Oh yeah..'fangirling'

"Come on guys...My job here is done. Let's go to the DT Extractor and wait for Alphys.." 

"and after that.."maniac said

"our next stop will be.." the weed said

"Asgore's castle.." he finished.

And so they teleported...to the final chapter of their story...the one written Underground.
