*I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK for today.

Readers- ._. ಠ_ಠ *Looking the other way* Huh? What?

Yeah yeah I always wait like a month or two before making a new chapter, but you try solving a question packet for "Of Mice and Men"! Anyway, I'll shut up and let you read.*

We all ran and ran, and floated, until we got to the skele-bro's house. Papyrus flew open the door, darted inside, and was about to run upstairs with Frisk until he spotted sans sitting on the couch.

"BROTHER! YOU'RE BACK! WHAT HAPPENED? YOU KNOW, WHAT, YOU CAN TELL ME LATER. I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO ATTEND TOO! C'MON FRISK!" And he ran upstairs to his room. Before me and Chara followed, I looked at sans and asked;

"What happened?"

"I... u... can't have candy for a week..." he said nervously. I went over to him and gave him a hug as support..

"I'm sorry. We'll be upstairs with Pap, okay?" He gave a nod, and me and Chara went upstairs into the room we saw Paps go though.

Inside his room was a racecar bed, a table with many little figures on them, a pirate flag against the back wall, along with a bookcase and a computer, and to the right of us was a box of bones. He also had a rug on top of his zig-zag carpet, that me and Chara noticed, which explained her whispering; "Classy." In the middle of the room, were Papyrus and Frisk.

"OH, THERE YOU TWO ARE! NOW FRISK, BEFORE WE START THE DATE, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AROUND IN MY ROOM FIRST, TO GET ADJUSTED TO IT."

Frisk's put her hand to her chin to think for a moment before saying "Okay!". She walked over to the bookcase where puzzle and kid's books populated the shelves. Papyrus told us that his favorite books there were "Advanced Puzzle Construction For Critical Minds", and "Peek-A-Boo With Fluffy Bunny", and that the ending always gets him. His box of bones brought back memories and said that it seems just like yesterday that he used them on us, despite it happening like, 3 minutes ago. He was logged onto a online chatting site, and he was quite popular there, as he said. There was also a "troll" who was sending him puns in a wacky font. I wonder who it was?

His pirate flag was found by his friend Undyne at the bay, and had a theory on why a human flag had a skeleton on it. He thought that humans descended from skeletons! He was close. His action figures references "theoretical battle scenarios". And that he got them from Santa. Now for his car bed. He dreamed of driving on the highway when he got to the surface. Feeling the wind and sun on him. But he doubted that it could happen because "it's just a dream". So he just "cruies while he snoozes". At least he stays optimistic! Finally Frisk walked over to Papyrus to begin.

"Your room is very nice Papyrus. I think I'm ready to start now!"

"ALRIGHT!" he exclaimed. He turned to me and Chara. "WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN TO US ALTHEA?" he asked, unable to see Chara. I politely shook my head.

"No thank you. We'll-I mean, I'll sit this one out." I whispered to Frisk "Good luck!" and gave her a smile. She smiled back.

"ALRIGHT THEN! ARE YOU READY FRISK?" he asked to conform. She nodded to fully conform. "OKAY!! DATING START!!"

I backed away against a wall to watch as the red glow grew on Frisk's chest and the world around turned black.

Dating Start!

"Okay!" Papyrus exclaimed. "WE ARE ON OUR DATE! I have never done this before... BUT, "PREPARED" IS SPELT WITH SEVERAL LETTERS FROM MY NAME! AND PREPARED IS WHAT I AM!" He yanked a book from behind his back. "PLUS, I SNAGGED THIS OFFICIAL DATING BOOK FROM THE LIBARBY! NOW WE ARE READY TO HAVE A GOOD TIME!" He brought the book up to his face and began reading from it. "OK! LETS SEE! step 1, press C for Dating Hub i don't know what that means so I'll skip that... step 2, ask them on a date, ALRIGHTY THEN! HUMAN! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WANT TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU!"

I caught Frisk giving a giggle before nodding her head. Papyrus immediately started blushing.

"R-REALLY? WOWIE! I GUESS NOW IT'S TIME FOR STEP 3!" He brought the book back to him and read Step 3 as his eyes widened then squint in confusion. "'Wear clothes to show you care'?' WAIT, YOU'VE BEEN WEARING CLOTHS ALL THIS TIME! DOES THAT MEAN YOU WANTED TO DATE ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?"

Frisk looked a little surprised by his sudden question, but I guess she didn't want to make him upset, so she nodded her head slightly. Suddenly, a giant look of shock crossed Papyrus's face. And he immediately started yelling short after.

"N-NO!! Y-YOU'RE DATING POWER!!!" A giant bar above Papy's head suddenly appeared. It read "DATE POWER" a was filled up a bit. Right after it filled up, Papyrus started laughing his signature laugh, and a line graph that said "TENSION" appeared right next to him. The line was going up and down.

"Nyeh. NYEH-HEH-HEH. DON'T THINK YOU BESTED ME FRISK! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE NEVER BEEN BEATEN AT DATING, AND NEVER WILL! YOU'LL JUST SEE! BE RIGHT BACK HUMAN!" And he suddenly ran into his closet, where rustling sounds took place. Frisk looked at me in confusion, but since I was confused too, all I could give was a shrug but a supportive smile.

Soon Papyrus jumped out of the closet (lel 😏) right in front of Frisk wearing a backwards cap and shades. "NYEH!!" he exclaimed. "SO FRISK, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY 'SECRET STYLE'!?" The three of us starting giggling, because he looked so silly, and he didn't even care! He was so confident and waited patiently for an answer.

"Aww! You look cute!" Frisk told him. He looked shocked, but a bit flustered too, and he immediately started screaming again.

"NO!! A GENUINE COMPLIMENT!!!" The TENSION graph returned and it was still going all kinds of crazy! The DATE POWER meter appeared with a loud BANG! And filled up more than halfway.

"HOWEVER," Papyrus said. "YOU DON'T TRULY UNDERSTAND THE 'HIDDEN POWER' OF THIS OUTFIT!!! THEREFORE, WHAT HE JUST SAID DOESN'T MATTER NOW! THE DATE SHALL NOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU FIND MY SECRET! BUT THAT WON'T HAPPEN!!" he said proudly.

Frisk walked over to him and inspected his outfit. She looked in the gap that folded scarf caused, nothing. She went over to the front and looked behind his sunglasses, just eyes. She poked his tummy lighty in case it was under his shirt, Nope. But he did giggle a bit. She then moved on to his hat, and lifted it up. There sat a present balancing on his head.

"YAY!" he cheered suddenly. "YOU FOUND MY SECRET!! WELL, I GUESS I HAVE NO CHOICE. IT'S A PRESENT JUST FOR YOU!!!" Frisk smiled and blushed lightly.

"Aww! Thank you Papy!" she exclaimed. She took the present off his head and opened it up to find a bowl of spaghetti.

"You know what it is, right?" Papyrus asked Frisk. She nodded. "It's spaghetti." Paps whispered. "That's what you are thinking, right?" Again, Frisk nodded again.

"Well. You are right, BUT WRONG TOO!!" His sudden yelled shocked me and Chara and almost made Frisk fall backwards. "IT ISN'T ANY PLAIN OL' PASTA!" he continued. "THIS IS AN ARTISAN'S WORK! WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS MADE BY ME OF COURSE! MASTER CHEF PAPYRUS! ALRIGHT FRISK, IT'S TIME TO END THIS! THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN GO ANY FURTHER!" With that being said, Frisk took a forkful of spaghetti and took a bite. Her expression turned to look a little sick. But as for Papyrus's reaction,

"WOWIE! WHAT A PASSIONATE EXPRESSION! YOU MUST REALLY LOVE MY COOKING! SO THAT MUST MEAN YOU LOVE ME TOO!!! MAYBE MORE THAN I DO!"

With more loud BANGS! And some more screaming from Papyrus, the DATE POWER METER next to him started filling up more, and more, so much that it broke right though itself! A blinding white light came though, and though it, we could hear Papyrus's voice.

"FRISK, IT'S CLEAR NOW. YOU REALLY DO LOVE ME. EVERYTHING YOU DO. EVERYTHING YOU SAY. IT'S ALL FOR MY SAKE. I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY TOO. IT IS TIME FOR ME TO EXPRESS MY FEELING. NOW IT'S TIME." He paused. "I, PAPYRUS..."

The light disappeared, and we could see Paps again.

"I..."

"UM..."

"BOY, I-IS IT HOT IN HERE OR IS IT JUST ME?"

"MAN..."

"FRISK, I..."

"I'M SORRY! I DON'T LIKE YOU THE WAY YOU LIKE ME. I MEAN, ROMANTICALLY. WELL... I TRIED TO. I THOUGHT THAT BECAUSE YOU FLIRTED WITH ME... THAT MEANT I HAD TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU. THEN, I WOULD GROW FEELINGS FOR YOU! I COULD MATCH YOUR PASSION FOR ME! BUT ALAS, I FEEL JUST THE SAME AS BEFORE. AND I HAVE ONLY DRAWN YOU DEEPER BY DATING YOU. HOW COULD I HAVE DONE THIS TO YOU?" he stayed quiet for a moment. Before Frisk could say anything, he burst out again. "Wait, NO! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, DOES NOT FAIL AT ANYTHING!! FRISK! I SHALL HELP YOU THOUGH THESE TIMES!! I'LL KEEP BEING YOUR COOL FRIEND, WHILE WE BOTH PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED. PLUS, YOU ARE VERY GREAT. SO IT WOULD BE TRAGIC TO LOSE YOUR FRIENDSHIP. SO PLEASE, DON'T CRY BECAUSE I CAN'T KISS YOU. PLUS, I DON'T EVEN HAVE LIPS. AND SOMEDAY, YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME! OK, NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE. BUT I'LL HELP YOU SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST!!!"

Frisk awkwardly stared at him, but gave a warm smile. "Thank you Papyrus." she told him. "I think I'll be okay." she scooped him up and gave him a hug as the color restored around us. Me and Chara came out from the corner we were in towards the two.

"This was a lot of fun Paps." Frisk told him. "We should be getting over to Waterfall now."

"OH WAIT!" he yelled. "BEFORE YOU GUYS LEAVE, YOU SHOULD TAKE MY NUMBER SO WE CAN STAY IN TOUCH!" He grabbed a piece of paper, wrote down his number, and gave it to us.

"Thank you Papyrus!" I thanked. We gave our goodbye hugs, said our goodbyes to sans, and off we were.

Over to Waterfall now.
