 Finally, after an hour and a half of travel, you made it to your destination. The bus ride was fine, only taking up twenty minutes of your trip, and the walk to the barrier was only ten minutes, but the walk through the Underground took much longer than you expected. You hadn't realized that Snowdin was actually the fifth area in Underground from the barrier. Mettaton had instructed you to take the small ferry to Snowdin, but of course you had gotten lost. It didn't help that the first ferry stop was all the way through Hotland. The castle itself was large and grey, and after that you nearly got lost in the core. Those two areas took at least twenty minutes to clear. Then there was Hotland's itself. It was blistering hot in there (living up to its name) and you had to take off practically all of the layers you put on. That's where you got lost. First you messed up the elevator, accidentally getting out on the wrong floor twice, before you got stuck in a bunch of spider webs. It took twenty minutes for the spider monster, Muffet, to realize someone had gotten themselves stuck. She let you out (without any trouble luckily) and urged you buy some spider baked goods. You realized that she probably wouldn't let you leave until you did, so you bought a few spider doughnuts. From there you attempted to get to the ferry again, got lost for another fifteen minutes, and ended up at a huge laboratory. It was locked, and you were off again. Finally you found the ferry, and the boat man gladly agreed to take you to Snowdin.

As you travelled quickly downstream he warned you rather ominously, "Tra la la. Beware of the man who speaks in hands." The warning made no sense though so you disregarded it for now.

Luckily the trip on the boat was fast and not five minutes later you were disembarking in Snowdin. You were immediately freezing, having not replaced your clothes yet, and immediately regretted not realizing that a town named Snowdin would literally be snowed in. You thanked the ferryman, who you learned was named River Person, and quickly went about bundling up, realizing it probably would have been smart to bring another jacket. With chattering teeth you scamper through the snow, passing a wolf throwing ice cubes into the river before taking a left. Why would they need to throw ice into the river? You thought as you walked.

After a few minutes you found yourself standing before your destination. You double checked the address, then looked over the cozy looking house. Lights were strung around the roof, and already you could hear a steady beat of music and peals of laughter. Beside the house there were two mailboxes- one stuffed completely full and the other looking untouched. With a deep breath filling your lungs you strode up to the door and knocked three times.

There was more laughter and after a moment you realized no one heard you. You knocked again, this time louder. From within you heard someone yell, "I think someone's at the door!"

"Oooooo, that must be our special guest!" You heard Mettaton coo from within.

"IS THAT WHO YOU WERE ON THE PHONE WITH?" Someone else said quite loudly.

"Maybe~" Mettaton then threw open the front door and grinned widely upon seeing you. "Darling, you made it!" Without another word you were enveloped in a spine cracking hug. Mettaton let go a second later and held you at arm's length. "And it took you long enough!"

"Sorry Met. I ended up getting a little lost."

"Well at least you're here now!"

"METTATON WHO IS AT THE DOOR?" The person who was yelling before inquired. Maybe they just always spoke that loudly? Mettaton pulled you into the house with little warning and suddenly you were face to face with six other monsters. The closest one to you you knew as Papyrus; a skeleton monster with an orange/red scarf around his neck and odd looking armour. You nearly had to crane your neck back all the way to look at him- he was at least seven feet tall!
