Skeletons and Robots (Discontinued due to lack of time)

Chapter 4: Spies

    HELLO, GREAT AND GLORIOUS DIARY!
      THE SLEEPOVER WAS DELIGHTFUL FUN, EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME! I GOT TO PLEASURE MY SUBORDINATE FRIENDS BY SHARING WITH THEM THE GLORY OF MY DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI! METTATON ALSO MADE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS PANCAKES, NOT AS GOOD AS MY SPAGHETTI THOUGH. HE IS SUCH A CUTIE. ANYWAY, NEO SEEMS...COOL! HIS ATTITUDE IS VERY INTERESTING TO ME, BUT HE SEEMS A BIT... WEIRD. HE GETS THESE CREEPY VISIONS OF AN UNTOLD FUTURE.....ODD. WELL, I HAVE TO LEAVE YOU HERE, DEAR JOURNAL, AS I AM TO TAKE METTATON ON A RATHER SPECIAL DATE.

    LATER,
     THE GREAT PAPYRUS

   A smirk tore at the corners of my boney jaw, and my gentle hands folded the pen daintily into my wardrobe box. I stood, puffing my chest in redemption. My fingers curled around a cold class of fragrance, my own making. Lifting it to my neck, the dial was gently pressed down to result in a blast of sweet nectar-smelling air. I chuckled, setting the bottle down and sauntering out of the room.

  "SANS, I WILL BE GONE UNTIL ELEVEN. CALL ME IF YOU NEED ME!" I shouted, pride tickling my tone.
  " ' kay." Sans mumbled wearily from his room. I swiped a quick glance around the room, making sure I did not forget anything. The night brought great promise, and I intended to witness that firsthand.

    My foot led itself into it's own rhythm, my fingers slowly persuaded into following. Where was he? Late was never Mettaton's style. My eyes rested on my shiny red rubber galoshes. I snickered, remembering how innocent Sans had been so many years ago to give me them. He seemed to mean it as a mere fling; as if he couldn't take it seriously. My favorite red boots, a mere costume. Shame he could not see the meaning behind every seam.
     "Papyrus, darling, there you are! I have looked all over this mushroomy maze looking for you! Geez, to think poor lovely darling Frisk had to find her way through this despicable puzzle!" A familiar voice cooed in a dramatically delicious tone.
     "METTATON! SO GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT, I WAS GETTING UNBEARABLY WORRIED!"  My eyes squeezed shut as I pulled my favorite calculator into a hug. His round white glove somehow found itself cradled around my waist, and electricity rocketed through my spine with a twist of delight. I grinned, my voice chiming,
  "OH YES." .
  "Don't quote me, Papyrus." He put a finger to my mouth, a hellish grin meaning only one thing overpowering his crude, boxy face. "I'm not even in my new form yet, the show hasn't even begun."
    We strolled passively through the mushroom maze, giggling and talking about mostly Mettaton involved things. After a while, I got tired of walking and encouraged  Mettaton to sit on a mushroom next to me.
  "So....Neo seems rather interesting." I mumbled, Mettaton instantly perking up.
   " I know, isn't he wonderful!? Not as wonderful as me, but so wonderful!" He cried in gusto. 
    "What can he do that is so great?" I asked, bony hands resting in my lap.
    "Well...... That is a story in itself." He smirked.
    "Goodie! I like story time!" My hands clapped with enthusiasm, happiness seeming to brighten the dark world around Mettaton and I.
     "So, darling, you do know the soul's components? Fight? Act? Spare?" He coaxed, metallic fingertips resting on my shoulder.
    "Well, it seemed that Fight was taking over my soul, sending me messages of warning across my mainframe that I had to....dispose of our dear friend Frisky darling. Like the little one was...possessed by something, and it wanted our blood and bolts. This frightened me, darling, and I then went to dear old Alphys to see if she could help me. She thought it best to make a clone of me, with a few extra added flares to keep my beauty original. She took some shards of my soul out from Spare and Act, but took the majority of my fight. So, darling, there you have it. My little secret. You won't tell anyone, will you?" He smiled, his eyes reflecting back the hopeful skeleton I was, and in a deep, much needed breath, I smiled too.
  "I promise." That was the moment he kissed me.

[admin Sil: hey so this will happen sometimes when a different POV is used.]

Neo:

"The underground is amazing!" I exclaimed, throwing out my arms in amazement. "Yeah. I just can't believe that the humans haven't boarded this all up." Undyne responded, her ponytail flying dramatically. "This feels... So recognizable." I mumbled, my head turning in all directions in the beautiful place known as Waterfall. "Yeah. My house is just up ahead. It might still be on fire." Undyne said, marching forward on the glowing grass. "Oh man. I need to show you Temmie Village." Undyne laughed, petting something that looked like a dog and cat hybrid. "tEM SHoW way" the little thing said. "We'll be okay, now run along before I crush your tail!" Undyne said, spooking the poor creature. It ran off, making weird noises as it ran. "Yeah, I hate Temmies." Undyne said flatly, continuing her brisk pace. "Hey, I almost have to run to keep up with you." I huffed. "You're a robot! You don't get tired!" Undyne laughed. "Alphys did something that makes me act more human than Mettaton. So slow down." I growled. "Alright. The path is dimming anyways, gotta go find a lantern to turn them back on." Undyne marched off, and a second or two later the light grass flicked back on. "Thanks, Undyne!" I yelled. "No problem!" Said a voice not too far away. I walked towards the voice as Undyne continued to trot through the area. "Come on. The mushroom room isn't too far ahead." She stopped at a tall blue flower and touched it. To my surprise, the flower started talking. "Don't tell Neo." Said a voice that sounded like Mettaton's. "I won't." Responded a voice that sounded like Papyrus'. "Hmm... Mettaton and Papyrus are down here as well. Wanna turn this walk into a spy mission?" Undyne tittered, a playful smile curling across her scaly lips. "Umm... Sure." I replied, following Undyne as she raced away, her boots surprisingly not making any sound.
  We snuck through the inky blackness of the unlit grass, both of us hoping to catch some good intel. "Yeah, I really need to keep an eye out for Neo. He could turn on any second, alright? Don't trust him. No matter what. That blaster will destroy your soul in one hit." The sexy yet distilled tone emitted from the robot with raven black hair. Mettaton. "I understand, Ton-Ton." Said a tall skeleton. Papyrus. "Darling, please don't call me that. I'm only telling this to you to protect you. If you got hurt... I'd destroy Neo myself." Mettaton said in a intimidating tone. I turned to look at Undyne. Her expression told me she was horrified. "Neo, is that true?" She asked, her voice quivering. Didn't expect that. "I-I don't know." I stated honestly. "I've never heard this before."
"Do you really have a blaster?"
"Yes. I saw my blueprints. Only if I'm angry though." I said, only half lying. Undyne didn't look relieved, and she backed away from me, readying a magic spear. "Undyne, I-"
"HEY UNDYNE! WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE." Said Papyrus, and we both instantly froze. "Undyne, darling, is everything okay? You have a spear at the ready, sweetheart." Said Mettaton. I narrowed my left eye, my crosshairs feeling funny. "Oh, uh, something...umm...spooked me." Undyne said, her voice stuttering. "Oh! Well then come sit with us." Mettaton said, holding out his welcoming arms. "Alright." Undyne said, flashing a look at me before nervously clutching her spear and walking over to the couple sitting on a glowing mushroom. "I overheard a little bit of your guys' conversation. Mind explain what you're talking about?" I lifted my head up a little bit to listen. "Oh, yes. Well, Neo is an... Unwanted part of me. As you know, the soul is broken into three parts: Act, Spare or as the humans call it, Love, and Fight or as the humans call it, Hate. Fight was consuming my soul, and as you know darling, that can't happen now can it? I was meant to be an entertainer, but Alphys' little error didn't help with that. I went to her and commanded her to cut my soul in half. She said that she could put the unwanted part into my attack form, and of course I agreed to that. Now we have Neo. Remember, don't trust him. He will turn any day now." I didn't want to hear any more of it. I rose from my hiding place and glared at Mettaton, who was staring at me in shock. "I'm just unwanted, aren't I?! Well, I guess I'll just go home now." I spat, stomping off, leaving what I thought was a brother behind, calling my name and telling me he was sorry.
Oh he'll be sorry, I thought. He'll be very sorry when I'm done with him.

[admin Sil note: hey so I'm with family right now so it'll take a couple days each for a new chapter to come out sometimes. Sorry for the inconvenience. Merry Christmas and I will make a little scene for Christmas!]
