"1 p.m. already?! I'm going to be late!" I shout to myself as I quickly make my way out of my flat, running down the stairs and dashing outside. In 30 minutes I'd have an important meeting with a producer that wants me as their new model for their brand.

Ah, sorry, I realized I haven't introduced myself yet! I'm (f/n) (l/n). I'm currently starting off my career as an actor. Even for my age, I'm pretty talented, so it wasn't hard for me to get popular. However, I'm still clumsy and late at most times. Who can blame me though?

As I ran through the crowded streets, I had to be careful not to run into any other pedestrians. I held my files that I had to hand in close to my chest as I dashed through the city.

For a split second, I looked at my watch, which showed 1:10 now. 20 more minutes left, I was sure I could do it! Well, I thought. Since I had been looking at my watch, I didn't look where I was going, so I ran into something at full force.

I ran into something out of metal, so it hurt of course. I fell back and landed on my butt, my files scattering over the floor. What kind of a cliché day is this gonna be?! Am I going to meet my Prince now or what?!

I rubbed my head in pain and looked up. My eyes widened at the sight. A tall figure stood infront of me, reaching out it's hand. It was a robot I had bumped into. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry!" The robot said with quite a human tone in his voice.

He helped me up and quickly got to collect the files that scattered over the place. I stared at the robot all the time, not really knowing what to say. "Are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost, darling." He said and smiled at me gently. He was a robot, yet he had such a human way of acting etc.

I looked at my watch. "Shit, I'm going to be late!" I shouted as I started running again, only to be stopped by the robot that had grabbed my wrist. "Where do you need to go?" He asked.

"Just in Time! Thanks! It's like a miracle. It doesn't happen every day that you meet a robot that flies you all the way to a studio." I huffed as I looked at the robot, which was looking around.

"The surface sure looks pretty." He chuckled. "A world made for a star like me!" He flipped his hair. I just looked at him confused. "Say what?" I nervously smiled.

His eyes wandered back to me, they were shining. "You said this is a studio, right? Just the place I wanted to go to!" He entered the tall building, I ran after him. "Wait!"

"The name's Mettaton, pleased to meet you." The robot, now known as Mettaton, slightly bowed infront of the producer I had been invited to. The producer, Mr. Edinburgh, had smiled at me nervously. I shrugged with the same nervous smile.

"Say Mettaton, what are you here for?" Mr. Edinburgh asked, sitting down. Mettaton sat down across from Mr. Edinburgh, I sat beside Mettaton. "I'm the Idol from the Underground!" He flipped his hair back again, posing in his seat. "I'm quite surprised you don't know me."

"Idol from the Underground?" Mr. Edinburgh laughed. "Sure thing, how's the Underground?" He joked. I sighed. "Mr. Edinburgh, he's-" I tried to explain, but he interrupted me. "Let him finish, (f/n), would you?"

Mettaton let out a sigh. "Come on now, I'm pretty sure she knows. I see you don't believe me, so why not let (f/n) explain?" Mettaton said with a smirk as he crossed his legs.

I turned a little red and looked away. "The underground actually exist." I began. It's barrier lies beyond the mountains. A long time ago, two races had been ruling over earth. Humans and Monsters. But after a war, the Monsters were sealed underground.

7 humans had fallen down into the Underground, with 6 of them dying in the process of escaping. The 7th Human however, was the one who made it past Asgore, the King of the Underground, and was able to create peace between the humans and monsters. The barrier was destroyed over 100 years ago." I told Mr. Edinburgh about it, just to gain a laughter from him.

"Yeah sure. And now, after 100 years, a robot has decided to come to the surface? Of course." He said. Behind him, I heard his secretary sigh. "Mr. Edinburgh, it is true. You can read all about it in various history books. The reason no monster ever came to the surface is the one human who had killed over a half of them. They were too afraid." She explained.

Mr. Edinburgh looked at me with narrowed eyes. "So, Mettaton..." He turned towards the robot. "You're a celebrity from the Underground?" He asked. Mettaton nodded with a smile. "Have a prove of it." He said as he pulled out something that looked like a phone. He played a video of one of his game shows.

"Those are incredible ratings!" Mr. Edinburgh said quite surprised. "You could make any company a billionaire with this!" His eyes sparkled in excitement.

Mettaton and I game out of the building. He had found a new job already. I sighed. "What's wrong, darling?" He asked. "This seems like a weird dream." I replied. "Why would a monster from the Underground come to the surface just like that?" I asked. Mettaton looked at the sky. It was clear, the sun was shining.

"Usually, I'd say it's for the business, but..." Mettaton mumbled while still looking up. "I always wanted to feel the human sun's warmth on my body! I always wanted to see their sky, as it's describes in the books we have in the Underground!" He said and looked at me with a smile.

I smiled to myself and looked at the sky as well. "Say, do you have a place to stay?" I asked. "Huh? A place to stay?" Mettaton asked. "A house? Somewhere you can sleep?" I asked, tilting my head. "Well, technically no. But I don't need to sleep, I'm a robot." He shrugged.

"You need a shelter though. And thus world isn't like yours by far, someone has to show you how everything works up here." I said. He smiled. "What about you? Would you tell me everything?" He chuckled.

"Guess I'll have to." I shrugged. "Can you fly us home too maybe?" I asked. He winked. "Of course."

And with that, I had met a robot from the Underground that didn't know a single thing about how this world works. But it's okay. I'll show him. He had the determination to know about it, so I'll make sure he'll be fine.
