Alphys led the way with her short little legs shaking terribly, but she trudged on. Always wiping away some tears every couple of minutes.

Sans and you were pushing the bed holding Frisk and Undyne behind her on rather bumpy terrain so it was really difficult to keep going at her pace and not stop or go too fast that we'd hit her rump and most likely make her fall down.

Froggit managed to walk (hop consistently) in between you and Sans, and although it didn't really effect either of your walking, it effected your mental state and almost made you feel uncomfortable, because even if you were thinking of something else, your mind would worm its way back to Froggit, and that he was still just there.

Every once and a while you'd look down him and he'd be just have his resting bitch face on, and if you stared too long you knew he see you. Then he'd think you had taken a liking to him, when really you didn't and if you denied it he wouldn't believe you because he thinks you're a dirty lier!

While you were busy being terrified of the things that would happen if he caught you looking, you forgot to actually look away, and you just stared at him with wide, horrified eyes. He looked up at you and saw you staring, unblinking at him.

You were paralyzed in fear, and you couldn't look away so instead you just held eye contact, Froggits eyes were beginning to squint out of confusion. You were a little surprised that he didn't give you some sarcastic remark but instead he looked a bit
weirded out and slowly and awkwardly he looked back forward with pursed lips.

He whipped your head forward and a cloud of uncertainty fogged your mind.

Huh... So he doesn't actually like me that way. Or possibly at all.

A smile ran across your face as you let out a comfortable sigh until you thought for a couple moments longer and your smile went away immediately.

What if he's just pretending? He's good at hiding how he actually feels, well not exactly, he just puts on this douchey persona which blankets all emotion, but he didn't quite do that just now, so does that mean he doesn't mind me? Or does it mean he can't quite hide that he does possibly... uugGGGHHHH!!!! WHAT THE HOLY PANCAKEHANDS!??! WHHYYYYY??!

Slowly, you calmed yourself down and looked down at Froggit for a second then back forward where Alphys was leading the group.

Damn tsundere Frog.

You hated feeling like this, confused, angry and sort of scared all at the same time, so you decided you would try not to think about it anymore than you absolutely had to.

Luckily your legs started to hurt from pushing a large blue fish and a tiny purple sweatered human in the rolling hospital bed, wondering how in Earth Frisk could've worn that sweater in Hotlands the whole time, you had your sweater stuffed in your bag a while ago, and all this walking and pushing was making you sleepy and very hungry. You looked to Sans and whispered "Do you know where we are going?"

He half shrugged "I... I don't really... know." He huffed, uncomfortably out of breath. It was only then you realized how tired Sans really was as a cold sweat dripped down his cold and pale face. A wave of worry suddenly washed over you and you wanted to ask if you all were going to be to the mysterious location Alphys was taking you all to soon or ever today, but you thought for a moment. She had just lost her home and she did not really trust you or like you for that matter, so you didn't exactly have the luxury to be inpatient, and Sans is a big boy, he can manage himself. (But the idiot was still wearing his sweater!)

You all came towards an elevator, not much happened in it beside everyone stuffing themselves in together and were all uncomfortably close due to largeness of the hospital bed, there wasn't even elevator music to make this even remotely funny only the quiet hum of it moving down. Frisk tapped their little twig on the end board of the bed making a small 'tink' a few times before they sighed and let their hand droop beside them like they were the one carting around most likely 200 lbs of mass, not encluding the beds weight. Froggit aloud himself to lay down and rest his tired legs, You sighed and tossed your bag to the foot of the bed and leaned back onto the wall your back was facing with Sans beside you.

He rocked on his heels and scratched his neck awkwardly, trying not to look at you in case he'd end up staring at your sweaty body showing in got the tank top.

Finally the hum got lower until it came to a stop, the doors slid open and you let out a tiny groan so only you (and possibly Sans) could hear it as you pushed the bed out of the hot and cramped elevator.

You took in your surrounding immediately and noted the dramatic difference from the Hotlands compared to here.

The first thing you noticed about the new setting was that it was much cooler, it was a bearable temperature which gave you a chance to relax a bit as the sweat on yourself began to become useless, in fact everyone seemed to take in a breath or relief, it seemed like with everything that had happened, it had made everyone stressed out, and adding unrelenting heat to everything made it a thousand times worse.

The second thing was that the paths were high above ground or didn't have any, either way the path was the only way to go which made you slightly nervous.

It had started to become dark and gloomy as you started to leave the bright elevators light, luckily Undyne pulled out a blue spear which lit the way a bit with its dim glow.

The further you walked, the stronger the smell of... Well... You didn't know what it smelt like, but it didn't smell good nor bad, just a little... strange and almost like freshly made rubber, but nobody else seemed to be bugged by it so you decided it was probably normal for this place.

You and Sans followed Alphys with Froggit on your heels and turned a corner after her, still rolling the bed containing the a healing Undyne and a cute little Frisk.

There was snickering in the darkness you could've sworn you heard, and from the experience of the ruins, there most likely were monsters watching, but this time you didn't feel self conscious, only a little on edge.

Suddenly a purple face came into view right before your face with a large grin, you yelped and jumped back, causing you to stumble backwards and fall off the path into a dark abyss, but you hadn't fallen far before you landed on something sort of like a trampoline, although you weren't able to bounce back up so you felt every little vibration.

You heard everyone yell your name in urgency and a few faces poked over the edge about fifteen feet above to see if you were alright, everyone but Undyne who was still immobile and frantically asking if you okay.

"I'm good! I'm good. Just a little stuck is all." You said, struggling to get up. "Don't worry y/n! We'll get you out of there!" Undyne hollered back. Before you said anything, a being hopped over the ledge and fell towards you, however they slowed down as they got closer until they parked themselves to dangle right above you.

They giggled at your clumsiness and shook their head "oh-ho, you silly humans are always just so entertaining." The voice of this person was rather raspy and rough but at the same time feminine. She clapped with a pair of her six arms and a dainty tea set was sent down by a bunch of strings of webs.

Gracefully she grabbed the pot and tea cup "Spider Cider?" You didn't have a second to answer because she soon giggled and started pouring actual spiders in the cup "Oh what am I saying, of course you'll have some!" She handed you the cup and pushed it to your face and actually got some spiders in your mouth, they crawled around your mouth, poking at the inside of your cheeks forcefully which felt like a grass hopper trying to escape ones hand, but in your mouth instead, and produced a little webs over your teeth and tongue, and had very hairy legs.

You shivered in disgust and spit them out forcibly to the side of the web, you kept spitting even when nothing was left until you felt a bit more secure. You turned to the lady with five eyes, piecing together that she was a spider herself easily. "That'll be 40 gold." She stated calmly and sipped some of it herself.

Oh no, cannibalistic spider la- wait... 40 gold? 40 gold!? What a total rip off!

"Muffet! What ever you are doing, or thinking of doing don't!" Sans called over the ledge. She seemed to frown and look back up "I was just telling her what she owed, and speaking of owing don't you still need to bring me my 674 gold pieces?"

There was a pause.

"That's in the past! I'm sure you can forgive and forget eh Muffy?"

The spider blushed a bit but crossed her free arms stubbornly "Tell you what Sans, I'll bring the human back up if you pay 100 gold on the spot, I'll wait another few months till you make up the rest."

Another pause.

"Uhh... I don't know..." He replied. You were shocked at his answer "Sans!!" You yelled as a frown crossed your face. Both him and Muffet ignored you "Sans! You need to pay me back sometime!"

"I know... It's just 100 gold is quite a bit for right on the spot, I'd need to sleep on it for a night."

Your growled under your breath.

"When you go to sleep you don't wake up for a whole month!"

"And that's how much time I need!"

"... You'll have it all by the end of this month?"

"Yea!"

"Really?" She asked sceptically. Sans (from what you could tell) nodded and crossed his heart with one hand and lifted up the other "I swear on my good friend Jerry's life!" There was a faint mumble from who you could tell from the moody voice was probably Froggit. 'But doesn't everyone hat-' he only muttered out that much before someone hit him or something to shut him up.

Muffet didn't seem to hear that because she lit up and happily pulled you from the web you had been stuck in. Once you were out she struggled a bit to hold you as her multiple arms shook a bit "Goodness, you're one heavy human!" She grunted. You were approaching your tolerance level for this girl. She scares you off the edge, forces spiders in you mouth, she charges you for it! And now she comments on your weight. What classy lady.

"Muffet?" Sans questioned since she didn't reply to him.

She smiles up at him from the darkness and says she'll be there in a second.

Finally you both reached the top and she sets you down... Well... No... She just dropped you on the ground. Sans smiles with laughter in her eyes and kneels beside you. "Hey, are you okay?" You frown at him and his voice turns to a laugh "Made you eat spiders huh?" He asked as he helped you to your feet. Muffet looks bewildered "Sans! I must say you certainly are strong to lift that human, and it must be double the weight while it holds the money it has not paid me yet for the Spider Cider they drank." She giggled but there was a somewhat serious tone to her voice, knowing full well she was teasing you but at the same time, seriously wanting your money of which you did not have.

Slap a bitch?
[yes] [no]
