The room was pink. It also included a robot in a cage.
"Fern, meet Mettaton," sans walked over and pulled out a laptop and cord, connecting one end to the computer, and the other to the robot. He put the computer down and walked over to me. He keeps scratching that thing on His head, it's making the gash bigger.
"Hey, Doll?"
"Yeah sans?"
"How did you know Paps would snap me back to reality?" I was taken back.
" he's your ground, everyone has a ground to reality, no matter how far your lost, your ground can always pull you back, I saw it, when you heard his voice before he even entered the area, you instantly were struggling more, that's when I knew he's your ground,"
He looked at me, then back to the robot.
"Then I'm pretty sure we need to find his ground."
"Any ideas?"
" got a hunch, he was the star of the whole underground, fame was in his blood."
"Is, is he dead?"
"Nah, I had him powered down, it's like he's comatose."
"Oh, and you want me to do what exactly?"
"Help him like you helped me."
"Sorry but, that's more of Rose's thing than mine," I shrug. "She is a healer, I'm the fighter-" my words get caught in my throat as my eyes well.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Sans approaches me. I turn my head and wheel myself to the door.
"Sorry, I've got a mental breakdown in process, trying my best to keep it contained."
"Take it from me, that's not ok," I smile at him, his words are like we have known each other a lifetime over.
"I'm fine sans, really, it's nothing, I just need to get a grip on my emotions is all."
I wheel away when my chair is yanked back. I turn to see sans, he puts both hands on my shoulders and looks me in the eye.
"Don't lock away your emotions, no matter how bad it is, feeling is living," his words are sincere.
"Come with me," I call and wheel away, him following with confusion. I turn down the hallway and quietly make my way back into the medical room. I pull a stool from the corner and grab down medical supplies. I move all the candles around and make myself a workspace.
"Sit," I point to the chair, he sits facing me.
"Why?" He's blushing again, I feel my face heat up by seeing this.
"I'm fixing that thing on your head now turn around," he does as I tell him.
"I thought Rose was the nurse of the two of you?"
"She is, but being a soldier I know field nursery, bullet wounds and head injurys mostly. But if I were ever to come across someone in my state, would have been better to put them down then try and save em," my gaze falls to my knees. "I'm not the kind of person that goes into battle to save a fallen soldier, I go in to kill the enemy and get the job done, " he stays quiet.
I quickly and quietly finish up the cleaning and patching of his head wound.
"You rest, I'll take first watch, wake you in a few hours and we can switch," he nods and walks off to an empty bed. I wheel away to the power room. After a few moments I continue my venture with my flashlight and wheel around some more. I eventually find my way to Mettaton's room again. I sigh and pick up the laptop, I open the screen and see , a ghost?!? It's pink and has insanity in its eyes. I switch on the audio and mic.
(Regular-Fern)(italics-Mettaton)
"Uh, hello?"
"LET ME OUT OF HERE!"
"I'm, no."
"Let me out!"
"Sorry but nope."
"Why not?!"
"Because I haven't found your ground yet."
"Darling, power up my form please!"
"Can't do that."
"But darling I insist!"
"Now way am I letting you out without finding your ground first."
"Why do you keep mentioning the ground? It's filthy."
"It's an expression. Tell me about yourself."
