The doors swung open quickly to reveal a large lobby, it looked brand new and just finished renovation since you could smell a lingering paint smell underneath the many layers of food and funny smelling perfume. It must've been a grand opening or re-opening.

The chatting slowed down as the many well dressed monsters got a good look at your group, the monsters who were playing the music stopped as well.

They all just... stared...

Alphys immediately started to tremble as her tears that has recently run dry decided they would come back. You spotted this and went around Undynes bed to stand next to her, your metal foot clanked against the polished tile floor. Everyone seemed to flinch as you stepped forward, Alphys looked up at you tears in her eyes, you however wore a look she had always wished to obtain.
Determination.

A small nod was given to her by you and she smiled warily and choked back her tears and spoke up to the crowd. "I-I need to see Mettaton!" She said and used all the courage she could muster. Not one of the fancily dressed monsters did anything, they just stayed still, as if they were frozen, their gazes started to widely away Alphys' feigned confidence, she shifted uncomfortably in the spot she stood.

Nothing happened for a good amount of time, a sort of stare off if you will, until there was movement within the crowd of a robotic voice "WHY HAS EVERYONE STOPPED DANCING SLASH TALKING SLASH HAVING A REAL GOOD TIME, IT WAS THE PUNCH WASN'T IT!? I KNEW I SHOULD'VE HIRED THAT PROFESSIONAL BEVERAGE MIXER INTEAD OF D.I.Y-ING IT!"

The little calculator thing you had seen in the poster and the sign on the way in rolled its way towards the front of the crowd, sort of pushing its way through. But when they spotted the six of you they stopped moving and just looked at you, it was hard to know exactly what the robot was thinking with its expressionless face.

Oh good, another starer.

they made a very tinny sounding gasp and wheeled over hurriedly, their noodley arms flew back behind them. They ran right into Alphys like they forgot they were metal and wrapped their arms around her in a tight embrace. The robot started to ask all kinds of questions "WHAT HAPPENED?!? OH ALPHYS ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?!" the voice of the robot seemed very concerned for the little scientist, that just tore down her facade of bravery and she started to bawl. The monsters around all sort of flinched, even you.

The big tears rolled down her cheeks relentlessly "Mettaton! M-My anime! My research! My Ho-Home! It's all gone!" She cried and grabbed helplessly onto Mettatons shoulders, but her grip loosened and she slumped down in grief "It's all gone." She breathed in despair. The robot looked confused and worried as they rubbed her back soothingly and shifted her off of them, but kept their arm around her to help her walk "THERE THERE, I'LL GET YOU A NICE CUP OF MTT BRAND HOT COCOA AND YOU CAN TELL ALL ABOUT IT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING." The robot started to walk but then stopped as if they remembered something and looked back to the rest of you and waved you to follow "COME, COME! ALL OF YOU."

The words of the robot took a moment to register but then realized they meant the five of you when Sans pushed the end of the bed at you and it bumped into you. You hurriedly walked to the back of Undynes bed and started to push, you could defiantly tell she was becoming antsy in the bed "UGH!! I just want to get up and stand, I'm tired of being in this damn bed looking like a wimp!" She groaned and wriggled around unhappily as you and Sans wheeled her through the parted crowd, who murmured amongst themselves in hushed tones. You felt yourself shrink a bit while walking through and you looked over to Sans "why are they all staring?" You whispered.

Sans scanned the area with his white pinpricks of eyes and lean over to you, keeping an eye on all the monsters. "they haven't seen a human for a long time, let alone two."

He gestured to Frisk who was sitting on the bed and smiling a little at all the monsters and waving like a queen would.

That child so cute it made you want to die.

There was a door Mettaton was holding open for Undynes bed and let you roll through it, once inside Mettatons tinny voice cut through the crowd again as they yelled and threw their arm up in the air "NOW MY HONOURABLE GUESTS, LET US GET BACK TO THE PARTY!"

The music started once again and they wheeled backwards into the hallway everyone was now standing in. The robot turned around and looked at you in the dim light and almost shrieked at your close proximity. "OH, I DO HOPE YOU'LL FORGIVE ME FOR GETTING STARTLED, BUT UMM..." He looked down a direction in the dimly lit red hall then pointed "THERE IS A BATHROOM DOWN TWO DOORS AND ON THE LEFT."

You tilted your head confused but then realized you were probably smelling awful, now that you think about it you probably smelt the worst out of all them. A wave of self consciousness crashed upon you as you nodded once in thanks and speed walked away, Froggit followed.

Not noticing the frog monster you swung the door open and walked in and flicked on the lights. Froggit hopped behind you and slipped in just before the door closed.

The bathroom was vastly different from the hallway, it had black and white tile as the wall by the tub and shower combined, the floor was a pearl white and the sink was built into the wall and coloured black. You sighed and plopped your bag down in the corner of the room and walked towards the bath until you caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, you stepped back into view and gaped at yourself.

You didn't realize how beat up you looked until now, you had many cuts and bruises along your body as dirt covered much of your skin, making you look a darker shade of s/c. Your h/c hair was matted and greasy and the leg looked pretty intimidating when looking at it on somebody else. However, what changed most to you was your eyes, no longer did they have an innocent look within them, they almost seemed... Darker somehow, like they had seen many thinks to make them tougher.

But there atop your head, sat Ike's happy reindeer toque. It looked a little dirtier than usual but it still put a smile on your face. You pawed it off lazily and stared at it with a soft smile. You sighed and took an emotional rest "Don't worry Ike, I'll win, and when I do I'll give you that funeral and I'll leave that spot next to me open."

"Do you talk to yourself often?"

You jumped at the sudden voice and turned to see the Froggit you knew and... Well... the Froggit you knew.

"What're you doing in here?!" You almost yelled. One of his non existent eyebrows rose up slowly. "I wanted to know why you were acting so weird and staring at me the way a dingo stares at a piece of meat before eating it." He said coolly. You pressed you lips in a thin line and your heart stopped for a moment as you recalled him catching you trying to figure out if he wanted you.

Tell Froggit the truth?

[Yes] [*HELL NO!]

Not quite wanting to tell him you were trying to figure out if he fancied you or not, you instead tried to think up an excuse or somehow to change the subject, it sounded rather self centred when you thought. "Uhh... I... Wh-What are you even doing in here?! You're basically being a pervert!"

Good save y/n, subtle way around it. That deserves a high five!

His face stayed expressionless. "I'm here to know why you were acting weird..."

Dammit, I already asked that! Retract that high five!

Froggit jumped onto the black sink and sat down waiting patiently, you sighed and placed your hands on either side of the sink and your head drooped down. You hated being in the dark with stuff like this when it involved you.

Ask Froggit if he wants your bod?

...

[Yes] [No]

...

*internal sigh*

[*Yes] [No]

You didn't exactly want to always be on edge about this, but that choice could of been worded differently...

"Froggit, are--did you? Do you want my bod?" You chocked out the sentence as if it were a piece of food you didn't quite chew properly, you kept your head down. Pretty much ashamed of everything that led up to this moment.

He squinted with a sort of condescending look "uh... No thank you."

You frowned and your head popped back up to look at him, surprise evident on your face. "What?" He rolled his eyes with a small laugh "Get over yourself y/n." You shook your head "Wait, then why did you freak out when I came back from that date thing I went on with Sans?"

A red shade rose to his face as his eyes grew wide. "You went on a date!?" He cried out loudly, in the small bathroom it made his outburst even harder on your ears. You flinched with a shy smile "you sure you don't want this tall glass of water?" You gestured to yourself.

He sighed and rolled his beady eyes. "yes I'm sure." He looked over to you wearing an unbelieving smirk.

He looked off to the side "Alright, Alright, if your gonna be like that I'll be honest with you." He looked into your wide and anticipating eyes "I could never see you like that, you're like a dumb child." Your eyes soon lost interest once he insulted you again and your body relaxed in boredom, his hurtful words didn't have much of an effect on you anymore.

But your smile grew to an inhuman size from when he said: "But, You're my dumb child."

The day had gotten about 10 000 times better, both because you were relieved that he didn't want your bod, and because there was finally someone who saw you as their own kid!

You grabbed him and pulled him into a tight hug and spun while saying stuff like 'I knew you loved me!' And 'Froggit has problems showing his feelings!'

"Hey! Hey! Stop it! Put me down!!" He yelled angrily, unable to get out of your grip. You of course ignored his protesting and gave him a bunch of kisses on the head.

You stopped spinning and put him back down on the sink, he was not too happy as you both struggled to keep your balance. He grumbled a few colourful words under his breath and hopped off the sink onto the hard floor. He looked up at you as your smile was wide as ever while he put his hand over his nose.

"Okay, next time you deiced to hug me like that, have the decency to smell tolerable!" He snapped at you. Your smile faltered a bit as red dusted your face, but you did your best to keep the grin "okay, then get out."

Before he could even blinked you hoisted the door open and scooped him up with the top of your brass metal foot and flung him out of the room , slamming the door behind him.

It made you feel sorta good to be an asshole back him.

You stripped down and jumped in the shower. It hadn't occurred to you till you were already in that your leg would probably rust posing a big problem for you

Shit, I'm gonna have arthritis in a metal leg!

Hehe! Oldie Goldie!

Oh fuck off!
