PREVIOUS CHAPTER: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/555432443/ Guys, I am SO SO SO SO SO SORRY to be posting late again!! I don't even know if anyone is still reading this, but school just started, and I've been crazy. Don't worry, I won't be changing my upload schedule, but it'll take a bit to adjust! If you like this chapter, be sure to leave a heart or comment so I know you want to see more! Hit the flag for background music :D ♡ “Alright, that should do it.” Alphys steps back from the last nerve she installed on my forehead. She surveys her progress with an air or satisfaction and wipes some sweat from her brow. “N-now all that’s left is a system reboot, and you hopefully should have a completely functioning nervous system. Are you-- uhh, a l-little excited there, are we?” Only then do I notice how I’ve been eagerly bouncing up and down on my chair. “Oh! Sorry, Alphy. I’m ready when you are.” I take a deep hypothetical breath to hypothetically calm myself, and she shakes her head fondly. “Okay then. Hold still…” Some movement, a few clicks, and then- … The first thing I feel when I wake up is a wave of heat. Alphys must not have very good air circulation in her h- Wait. Heat? FEEL? My eyes fly open to see Alphys standing in front of me, anticipation painted across every inch of her face. “Well?” I stretch out my arms, and I feel- I FEEL!- the air move around them. Suddenly I pick up a certain odor. I think this is the smell of… sweat and metal. Out of curiosity, I stick out my tongue, which is only supposed to exist for cosmetic purposes, and tap the tip of my finger to it. The sensors Alphys implanted there… They can pick up the taste of metal. The chair I was sitting in accidentally gets knocked over as I stand up. “A… Alphys!” I gasp, touching my face lightly and feeling its cold, slick surface. She blinks in astonishment. “It worked?” I let out a startled laugh, running my hands through my hair. It’s soft, and smooth. “It- it did!” Whooping in delight, I scoop Alphys off the ground into a hug and squeeze her so hard she’s probably about to burst. She feels squishy and scaly. It’s amazing. THIS is amazing! After a long moment I finally set her down, and she wheezes for breath. “Someday I’m going t-to die from one of your hugs.” “T’would be a death by the most glamorous hugger, darling.” Grinning widely, I reach out and touch everything around me. The walls, the couch, the anime body pillow on the couch, the window, the curtains, the door, the door handle, the porch bench, the flowers, the- “Mettaton? Why are you touching my face?” I barely even noticed Undyne standing there when I opened the door and stepped outside. Now I’ve subconsciously squished her face between my hands, her eyepatch moved slightly out of place.
^^^^ READ INSTRUCTIONS SECTION FIRST ^^^ Sheepishly I step back. “Sorry, Undyne! Guess I got a little carried away there, didn’t I?” “What are you talking about, dude?” “My nervous system is complete!” I happily spin around, throwing out my arms. It’s even hotter out here. June is still a few days away, and yet it’s already like summer. Undyne beams. “Woah, that’s so cool! How’s it feel?” “It feels… hot.” “Well, that’s probably because it is hot.” Now that I’ve been out in the heat for more than a few seconds, the oppressive air of it starts to get uncomfortable. “...I don’t like it.” “Get used to it, dude.” Undyne pecks Alphys’s cheek as she steps outside, then wraps her arm around her shoulders. “Isn’t that gala of yours in two days? Shouldn’t you be preparing or something?” “It’s quite alright. My prep team has it covered. All I have left to do is my favorite thing in the whole world…” I clap my hands cheerfully. “Choosing an outfit!” “I-I need to pick something to wear, too,” Alphys comments. “I think I’ll g-go shopping tomorrow. Undyne, you wanna come?” “Heck yeah I do! It’s a daaaaaate~!” Undyne exclaims in a singsong voice, nuzzling Alphys’s head affectionately. I laugh. “Actually, I hate to give you a third wheel, but do you think you could bring Eliza? She doesn’t have an outfit yet, and she really enjoyed shopping with you two last time. You can pay for it on my tab.” Undyne looks at me quizzically. “Oh! Yeah, sure, but I figured you would want to do that, Mettaton. With how you’re constantly doting on her and all… I’m surprised you’re asking us to do it alone.” “Well, I’m not sure it’s such a good idea for me to be seen with Eliza in public right now.” “Wha- hey! Are you calling her an embarrassment or some crap?” Undyne asks angrily, balling her fists. “Not cool, MTT!” I step back, alarmed, putting my hands in the air. “Woahwoahwoahwoahwoah, I’m not saying anything like that! Believe me, that’s FAR from the truth.” Alphys places a hand on Undyne’s shoulder with a knowing look. “I’ll tell you about it later,” she murmurs, and Undyne sighs, lowering her fists. “If you say so. Had me worried there for a minute, man. You’re the last person I would expect to say something like that about Eliza.” I avoid eye contact. “Well, I suppose you’re right on that. Anyway, I… I should be going now.” ♡ Music: "Satisfied" by Lin-Manuel Miranda, piano cover All Undertale content and characters belong to Toby "Radiation" Fox, the almighty!
