"Undyne nooo!" We all called out but it was too late. As much as I would like to watch her being saved, I couldn't for my fear got the most of me. 3...2...1 no screams? No shouts? No thundering roars? I peeked my eyes open and so as the others.

"Stripes? I-is t-that you?" Undyne stood bravely, tears trickling down her face. The tiger bared his sharp teeth but then its menacing glare slowly softened . "Get out of there undyne! It'll surely kill you!" Papy screamed.

Undyne stared bluntly and then she broke into tears finally giving the overgrown feline a hug. Gladly, the tiger didn't took the opportunity to gobble her up but instead, he took the opportunity to show his affection for the long gone friend.

"I thought..i'd never see you again." She cried harder. Sensing undyne's nostalgia, Stripes, the tiger, gave her a reassuring lick on the face.

"Haha OK I'd stop crying, Crying is for weenies." Undyne wiped her tears and flashed a toothy grin. "OK! Time to end this mushy stuff!-" we cut off her sentence by tackling her into our bone crushing hugs.

"Undyne! You nearly scared us to bits!!" Alphys gave her a sermon. "YEAH, MY BONES WERE SHAKING LIKE MARACAS BACK THERE!" Papy huffed as we all started to reprimand her.

"Oh...hehe sorry about that. I was just...uhh....carried away?" She meekly apologized making each of us raise a brow. "But! After what happened to you guys. I promise not to take risky decisions!" She smiled.

"Coz you all looked so ridiculous! Y'all look like pasta noodles from trembling." She spiffied a hearty laugh. Typical undyne, never takes things too serious. Our small giggles echoed the place as we rejoiced for the reunion of old pals.

Shortly, the zookeepers arrived. "Nobody move! We can handle the..uhh" they both froze seeing a bunch of calm kids with a not so deadly tiger. (Sarcasm unintended XD)

"Its OK mr. Zookeeper, the tiger's contained!" We all gave hi fives. "Turns out, we just reunited with an old friend." I smiled gesturing to the heart warming scene.

"OK? But, the tiger shouldn't be out here for long. Visitors and tourists are expected to come." The lady zookeeper explained.

"Just give us a few minutes then you may continue your duties." They gave me a small nod and I thanked them.

"Ughhh....am I dead yet?" Tori wavered a groan.

"Nope, you just fainted." Sans explained.

"What happened? All I ever remembered was seeing a tiger and..."
Tori stopped on her tracks as she found herself face to face with Stripes.

Color drained her face as she yelped backwards. "What's so scary about Stripes? He's more of a kitty to be honest." Undyne snickered.

"There's no reason to be scared darling~" metta finally stood up a chance.

Sarcasm filled alphys voice." Oh really metta, its not like you got scared, crying like its the end of the world." (There goes the sarcasm X3)

"Nonsense alphys, I did not cry! Besides, losing such fashion dresses is worth crying for than being trapped with a tiger in a zoo" Metta proudly grinned.

"Gorey saved you tori, he did a diversion to get Stripes attention." I explained, smiling mischievously at gorey who was about to leave the spewing commotion.

Without second thoughts, tori hugged and gave gorey a small peck by the left cheek. "Thanks for saving me." He stiffened but he started smiling like an idiot. Gorey melted to the hug as sans and undyne gave two thumbs up by the back.

"So, who is this Stripes? Care to introduce us undyne?" Tori tilted her head towards the tiger.

"Stripes, these are my friends! Gorey, Frisk, Sans, Alphys, Mettaton, Papyrus and Tori!" Undyne introduced us.

"Hi!"

"Hello!"

"Heya"

"U-mm h-hi!"

"Hello little Kitty~"

"GREETINGS STRIPES!"

We all greeted him and lastly tori. "Hi Stripes, I'm sorry that we didn't have a nice impression to each other but otherwise, you look so adorable." Tori marveled caressing the feline's firm orange fur.

Satisfied of Tori's petting, Stripes licked her face and snuggled onto her chest.
"Aww, I think he likes you, Stripes doesn't easily trust people except me and Gerson." Undyne mused.

"I see, but why?"

Undyne sighed but she started to explain the history. "Stripes was merely a cub back then, and I was a few years younger. When Gerry was buying ice cream by the park, I sat on the bench..waiting for him. But then, I saw a bunch of guys running after a tiger cub. I confronted the guys and told them to leave him alone but they only laughed at me. Of course, I grew enraged and I threatened them with my spears and they scampered away after that." Whoa, I can't even do that. Perhaps I can but with the use of spears? Nah uh..they're quite heavy for me coz I'm a bit of a weakling.

"When I kept stripes with us. I noticed these whip marks on his sides." Undyne then showed us the barely visible scars on Stripes' sides.

"That's when I knew he'd been taken away by smugglers. He was taken away from his family in a very young age, he was beaten up."

"Oh...that's dreadful. Poor Stripes..." Tori pitied.

Undyne nodded "And now, he's caged here in a zoo."

"Question, how did Stripes escaped and why does he have those unusual marks on his paws?" Gorey asked, pointing to some fresh wounds.

We all turned our heads towards the wounds. "Who did these to you?" Undyne examined.

"It doesn't matter now, we need to gauze and treat them up in no time!"

After calling the attention of the zookeepers, they started to call the Vet. Shortly, the vet, Mr. Paws arrived. I know, what an unusual name for a person but it fits his job right?

"I assume these wounds are caused by a bacterial infection, He had a bruise before and it got infected by contamination of his food or his environment." Mr. Paws elucidated as he applied some ointment.

"Would it heal?" Undyne hopefully asked.

"Yes, He should be transferred into a temporary cell before his previous cell could be cleaned..."

"And repaired." He continued, fiddling his fingers from the jagged barbed wires onto the cage.

~ Toim skip (coz idk how this goes now, sorry :( ~

"Don't worry stripes, i'd visit you here when summer comes!" Undyne smiled, patting the tiger's head.

"Don't get into much trouble, OK?" Stripes looked at me as if he's nodding.

"Be good, alright?" Tori smiled. The zookeepers assisted stripes into his temporary cell as we all walked a few yards.

"Wait! Here" Undyne loosened her beady bracelet and she hooked it into stripes' left arm.

"Its just a bracelet, for remembrance...in case I may or you may forget me, we'd still remain in touch." Stripes raised his left paw, examining the bracelet he somehow grinned, baring some of his teeth.

We all gave one last big hug before ms. Mel beckoned us to the bus. "I don't like good byes...so...I'll see ya later pal." Undyne sniffed, tearing up a bit.

"Bye stripes!" I waved by the buses' window so as the others, except undyne who simply waved. Soon, the bus hit the road, its wheels whirring in a calm way.

"BYE MY FELINE FRIEND!" papy waved the last, as he got down my seat. Coz my seat was beside a window, he saw undyne forlornly staring at the window by her seat.

"HEY...UNDYNE?"

undyne didn't listen and continued sulking. "UNDYNE, I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET- " Upset? No! Ha! As I'll ever be!" She fake rejoiced.

"I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT...DON'T WORRY, YOU'LL MEET HIM AGAIN. I BELIEVE IN THAT." papy grinned finally turning her frown upside down.

"Ha...heh..thanks papyrus." She wiped her tears.

"Now! Its time for Freddy to scare the tiny skeleton to bits!" She then tried to make the most horrifying face, well, she's more like impersonating Freddy the animatronic.

"PLEASE NOOOO! SAAAANS!" Papy squealed as he jumped into mine and sans' seat.

"Gah! Watch the eyesockets paps!" Sans jazzed his arms around as I tried to hold my laughter. Gorey, Tori and everyone in the bus soon joined.

Except for Alphys, who tries to hold undyne from harassing papy.
