It's been a little over a year since the two lover birds graduated from college. Martlet got a job as the head construction manager of the town and got a permit to have her old home rebuilt on the surface near the mountain. Clover successfully enlisted in the New Home police academy where Undyne is training him to be the town's new deputy. After the house was complete Clover and Martlet decided to invite everyone over for a barbecue.

"OK, so I think we're making burgers, hotdogs, and other sides and appetizers," Clover said checking the fridge and pantry.

"That sounds wonderful hun," Martlet said with a smile. "I'm going to finish getting the backyard ready."

"Ok, dear."

Martlet walks out the sliding glass door in the kitchen leading to the backyard. She had set up hanging lights and some tables for everyone to eat at. Clover sat inside prepping all of the ingredients for the barbeque. His attention was ripped away by a knock coming from the front door. "Looks like they are here," Clover said as he made his way to the front of the house.

Clover opened the door and was greeted by Ceroba and the rest of the family. "Hey guys come on in."

"This place looks wonderful Clover," Ceroba said admiring the front room of the house.

"Martlet's the one who designed it Mom, if anything you should be saying that to her," Clover said with a laugh.

"Well, I'll let her know when I see her."

Ceroba and the rest walk in admiring the house and the decor. The house was just as it was back underground; instead of a walkway there was a driveway leading to the house; a garage was added to the left side of the house for Clover and Martlet's vehicles. The right side of the house had what looked like a shed that contained all of Martlet's building supplies. Finally, there was a balcony at the top of the house with two lounge chairs; one for Martlet, and one for Clover.

Clover watches as everyone walks in one by one; ranging from Kanako to Ed to Mooch to Ace, and finally, Clover is met by Moray once again. "You're not gonna try and fight me today are you?" Clover said with a laugh.

"No, I'm not, I've accepted that Martlet is happy with you, and I'm glad you make her happy."

"That's good; I'm glad Martlet learned to forgive you after what happened 2 years ago; even if it was only just recently," Clover said with a nervous chuckle

"It's nice to know in the end we're all still friends."

"Of course, we're still friends Moray; you just needed a reality check."

"Yea no kidding; so how's the academy going?"

Clover grunts at the thought of all the training Undyne has been putting him through. "Your cousin has been a pain in my ass since I joined," Clover said with a disgruntled chuckle.

"You know I could just tell her you said that, and make her train you twice as hard," Moray said with a smug grin

"Don't...you...dare."

"I won't; I was just messing with you, Clover."

"Good, because I don't need any extra training from her; she's already tough on me as it is," Clover said with a sigh. "Anyways make yourself at home."

"Was this what her house looked like back underground?"

"Except for the garage on the side yes it is; it's just a bit more well structured."

"You can tell she learned a lot from school."

"So did I; did you know that we're still banned from that bar?"
