"HUMAN. ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME COMPLEX FEELINGS. FEELINGS LIKE... THE JOY OF FINDING ANOTHER PASTA LOVER. THE ADMIRATION FOR ANOTHER'S PUZZLE-SOLVING SKILLS. THE DESIRE TO HAVE A COOL, SMART PERSON THINK YOU ARE COOL. THESE FEELINGS... THEY MUST BE WHAT YOU ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW!!!"

Of course.

"I CAN HARDLY IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE TO FEEL THAT WAY."

Of course.

"AFTER ALL, I AM VERY GREAT. I DON'T EVER WONDER WHAT HAVING LOTS OF FRIENDS FEELS LIKE."

Poor Papyrus. All he wanted was for someone to appreciate him.

"I PITY YOU... LONELY HUMAN... WORRY NOT!!! YOU SHALL BE LONELY NO LONGER! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL BE YOUR..."

"Are you actually going to be my friend, Papyrus? After all that stuff about capturing me?"

"NO... NO, THIS IS ALL WRONG! I CAN'T BE YOUR FRIEND!!! YOU ARE A HUMAN! I MUST CAPTURE YOU!!!"

I knew it. "Will you ever make up your mind, Papyrus?"

"THEN, I CAN FULFILL MY LIFELONG DREAM!!! POWERFUL! POPULAR! PRESTIGIOUS!!! THAT'S PAPYRUS!!! THE NEWEST MEMBER... OF THE ROYAL GUARD!" He was going to fight me now. "NYEH HEH HEH!"

Several small white bones passed under my SOUL. They didn't even come near it. I snorted. I didn't want to get hurt, but considering Papyrus's low self-esteem, I thought he needed some encouragement. "Oh, come on, Papyrus," I said with a wink. "I know you can do better than that."

"WHAT!? FL-FLIRTING!? SO YOU FINALLY REVEAL YOUR ULTIMATE FEELINGS!"

I was taken aback, but I decided not to show it. Maybe he would spare me and be done with it if he thought I liked him. "Y-yeah. I like you, Papyrus."

"W-WELL! I'M A SKELETON WITH VERY HIGH STANDARDS!!!"

"I can make spaghetti."

"OH, NO!!! YOU'RE MEETING ALL MY STANDARDS!!! I GUESS THIS MEANS I HAVE TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU...?"

"Oh, no, I have zero redeeming qualities."♥

"OH NO!!! THAT HUMILITY... IT REMINDS ME OF, MYSELF!!!"

Because Papyrus was so humble.

"LET'S DATE L-LATER!! AFTER I CAPTURE YOU!"

I wasn't sure how that was going to work, but I decided to just go with it. Another row of white bones passed under my SOUL. What a dangerous attack! Haha, Papyrus wasn't going to hurt me. I tried to avoid laughing at him. He didn't deserve that.

Papyrus started to dab a bunch of things behind his ear. Bone Calogne, marinara sauce, MTT-Brand Bishie Cream, MTT-Brand Anime Powder, MTT-Brand Cute Juice, MTT-Brand Attraction Slime, MTT-Brand Beauty Yogurt♥♥... then he realized he didn't have ears. 


"Spare," I said.

"SO YOU WON'T FIGHT... THEN, LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN HANDLE MY FABLED 'BLUE ATTACK'!"

Easy. I just wouldn't move. Blue stop signs. Long, bright blue bones passed right through me. I stood there smugly, until something horribly unexpected happen. My SOUL actually turned blue, and fell straight down to the ground.

"YOU'RE BLUE NOW. THAT'S MY ATTACK!"

Horrified, I bent to pick the SOUL up, but it slipped out of my hands before a little bone came my way, heading straight for it. I jumped, and my SOUL moved upward with me. Phew, at least I had a way to avoid the attacks.
