"Ugh, Mettaton, why?!" You facepalm for the umpteenth time since you got to the store called 'Forever 21' which you found was an odd name for a clothing store but to each their own I guess. The reason you've been facepalming so much is that Mettaton won't decide which dress would fit you best

You've seen so many dresses and each one you've liked, but Mettaton was being stubborn and with each one she puts up against you she just shakes her head and moves on

Finally having enough of her antics you walk down the aisles, glancing over the stitched fabrics. Some being immodest in embarrassing ways, some being a little to over the top, and some being just to flashy.

Mettaton found you looking at the dresses that you found were around your size (surprisingly) and spun you around to see if any dresses she picked out for you were perfect "No, no, no, and..no~" She mumbled as you rolled your eyes at the stylish robot "It's always the cast that ruins it, oh dear~" This piece of speech caught your attention. During the construction of the new room, which the others have been calling yours, Alphys had predicted that your cast would be ready to come off within a few more weeks and you could come over to get it off since she had the tools. that offered you a relief, you wouldn't have to go to some appointment at some doctor and have to pay a hefty price

So, remembering that, you spoke up to the flamboyant robot "Actually, Alphys says I'll be able to get it off with in the week" At this Mettaton brightened "Well, that's wonderful~ and it opens up a lot more options, I'll be right back~" With that, Mettaton was gone. You sighed chuckling and continued your browsing.

After a while of Mettaton coming back with more dresses, only to leave again to try something else. You spotted it.

It was a long skirted (F/c) dress with simple silver beading at the top, and there were short sleeves, while most other dresses either had thin straps, or were strapless. You smiled and took the hanger off the shelf and held it out. The fabric was soft to your fingers, and it was very light. But when you looked at the price your heart sank a little,

When Mettaton came back she saw you starting to put the dress back when she gasped, causing you to jump, and almost ripped the dress from your hands to look at it. Not even bothering with the other brightly colored dresses she had in her arms she held it up to you and you stood confused when Mettaton's face brightened with anticipation

"Oh, this one will work wonderfully~! (Y/n) my dear, you have to try on this dress for me to see if it's right~" And with that, she picked you up as if you were a rag doll and practically bounded over to the dressing room

placing you back down you were suddenly thrusted with the dress and gently took it, not wanting to ruin the un-bought fabric with carelessness. You looked up to Mettaton as she pushed you next to an empty stall "Hold on Mettaton, why do I need to try it on? If it's the right size, shouldn't it be fine?"

Mettaton shook her head rapidly, laughing "Ohohoho~ Darling you still have to try it on, dresses like these factory made ones, vary in size and shape, no matter what the size is~" You sighed and went into the dressing room stall

You just started to take off your pants after your shirt, leaving your underwear on, when you heard Mettaton say something about talking to fans and would be back soon. Rolling your eyes at the obvious lie of 'soon' you continued what you were doing

After putting the dress on you looked at yourself in the full body-mirror in front of you. The dress looked beautiful and it fit like a glove, or so the saying goes you've heard. It didn't show off any extra skin and the neck line was of a reasonable height. Turning back and forth you amused yourself with the swishing of the dress until Mettaton's heel clicking footsteps were heard just out side the door

"Darling~ I see that the dress is on, why don't you come on out and let me see~?" You smiled nervously and unlocked the door, swinging it open, you stepped out slightly when you heard the now familiar dramatic gasp

"Oh my stars~! That dress is perfect~! And not even the cast can ruin it. You look beautiful (Y/n)~!" You blushed at the last part, not really feeling any different while wearing the dress, and recovered quickly to addressed the problem at hand

"Mettaton. I don't have enough money to buy this dress. And even if I did, I don't really see the point of doing so, I might not even-" Mettaton stopped you right there by raising a hand "Darling, did you really think I thought to have you pay for it~? No, consider it an early Christmas present~! Plus, I think a certain skeleton might like it as well~" You stood there in utter shock, not just because Mettaton called out your crush on Sans but,

You could handle Toriel paying for you in the restaurant. But there was no way that you would let Mettaton, the monster star, pay for something you weren't sure you're even gonna wear post-Christmas party

"I don't want to be a bother, maybe I could just borrow a dress somewhere-" Again, Mettaton cut you off "It's not really up to decide darling~ I'll be paying for the dress, and all the other fancy clothes your siblings will wear~"

You just stood there aghast, then once again tried to argue but instead, Mettaton pushed you into the dressing room while saying "Now hurry and get your normal clothes on, we only have so much daylight~!"

~<~<~<~ Time Skip ~>~>~>~

You were sitting back in the limo after what seemed like forever. After you had changed back into your normal street clothes, Mettaton drove you to another store this one called 'Children's Place' and let you pick out what sizes and clothes that would most likely fit for your siblings, and after deciding, you grudgingly let Mettaton pay for the clothes and started back to the limo....when Mettaton unfortunately ran into some fans....

Needless to say, let's hope you don't find yourself in a crowd ever again, or you might just go krazy.

When you arrived back to the skele-bros. house, Mettaton bid you goodbye, saying that she had to get to an important meeting. So, after you exited the vehicle the limo took off at an alarming rate. Shaking off shivers you had gotten from the cold air, you climbed up the couple of steps leading you to the front door.

You knocked on the door and waited for someone to open it and let you in. Luckily you didn't have to wait that long as, after a few minutes, the door cracked open to reveal Agrian peeking through the crack. After he saw it was you he threw open the door and tackled you to the ground yelling "(Y/n)'s home!!" You yelped in surprise but soon chuckled and rubbed the back of your brothers head, the other holding the bag full of clothes you, or rather Mettaton, bought.

After a while, Agrian hopped off of you and let you enter the home. The smell of gingerbread and candy canes filled the air and you took a deep whiff of it, a small smile playing on your lips. Rose came up to you and pointed at the bag you were still carrying. 'Sis, what's in the bag? Is it the outfits?!' She signed excitedly, you nodded your head, smiling, and Rose, plus the boys, wanted to try them on. So you send them to the room they were using with the bag intending on helping them soon if need be

But for now, you flopped onto the couch with a huff, which caught the attention of a previously sleeping skeleton who asked "Ya doin' okay?" You, laying on your back, but not wanting to move too much, lifted your arm in a thumbs up and said "Yep, just tired, who knew shopping could be so stressful"

Sans laughed at that and patted your shin, making you, ever so slightly, blush. "Don't worry, pancake, it's all in good faith" You blushed slightly harder at the nickname but managed to keep your face controlled, even if no one could see it from what you were laying

After a few minutes of just laying like that in the comfortable presence of Sans, you heard the unmistakable call for help and groaned a bit. Sans chuckled as you got up to help your siblings that undoubtedly got tangled up in their own clothing and weren't sure what to do.

Upon entering the room, you hid a small smile behind your hand at the sight of your muskets all trying to put on the suits and dress with little to no luck.

After getting the muskets figure out how to put on the formal clothing. You looked at how they fit and was happy to find that every everything was the right size. Elijah was wearing a light green button up shirt, with a dark green tie, black dress pants, and over-coat that had a fake green tissue coming out of the pocket

Agrian was wearing an orange button up shirt with a light yellow and thin black striped black tie, black dress pants and buttoned over-vest

Finally, Rose was wearing a short-sleeved, light pink and rose-colored dress that was extremely poofy from the waist down to the ankles, and had a dark pink lace and white pearl designs on the torso and hips

After they got settled, Elijah asked "(Y/n), didn't you need to get a dress?" You nodded and smiled. "I did get one Elijah, but you're gonna have to wait until the Christmas party to see it" The muskets let out an 'Awww,' but soon got over it and started to change back into their normal clothes.

Afterward, dinner was ready and Gaster came back from working with Alphys on who-knows-what, because apparently, as soon as you had left, Gaster wanted to re-meet his old apprentice and see what she had been up to.

All in all, it was a good day. And you felt like you actually belonged.
