Fallen Down (DISCONTINUED)

The dog is a bomb! - Chapter 20

Julia's P.O.V.

Liz and I walk out of the 'kitchen', if you could call it that, careful not to trip over any fallen ingredients due to Mettaton's debacle. When we exit the building, an ominous structure can be seen looming in the distance. Strangely, it fills me with determination. Suddenly, my phone rings.

"S-see that building in the distance?"Alphys asks, catching my attention. I'm curious to know what it is. "That's the Core. The source of all power for the underground. It converts geothermal energy into magical electricity, by..." She trails off. "Uhh, anyway, that's where we're going to go. In the Core is an elevator directly to Asgore's castle. And from there... you can go home." She hangs up the phone, and we keep going.

Up ahead is an elevator that leads us to the second floor. When we arrive to the 'second floor', wherever that is, we come across Sans.

"Hey buddy, what's up? Wanna buy a hot dog?" He asks. Liz nods, and gives him the money. Her pockets were full, though, so he just stacked in on her head. A while later, he's managed to stack at least 30 hot dogs on her head.

I secretly take out my phone and take a picture, giggling. Liz turns to me and sees I'm taking a picture. "HEY!" She screams, chasing after me for a short while. We stop when she gets a notification on her phone, and I notice all of the hot dogs have fallen off of her head. It's fron Alphys.

"dinner with the girlfriend ;)"

There's a picture of a catgirl figurine next to a bowl of instant noodles. I laugh, and so does Lizzie. Then, we get another one, this time from Papyrus.

"ARE WE POSTING HOT 'PICS???' HERE IS ME AND MY COOL FRIEND"

It's a picture of Papyrus flexing in front of a mirror. He's wearing sunglasses, and he pasted giant muscular biceps onto his arms... they're also wearing sunglasses. I laugh, and we continue on.

Several puzzles and bad opinions later...

"Hey! You! Stop!" Someone shouts from behind us. Liz and I turn around, and we see two guards approaching us. 

"We've, like, received an anonymous tip about two humans wearing striped shirts. They told us they were wandering around Hotland right now... I know, sounds scary, huh? Well, just stay chill. We'll bring you someplace safe, okay?"

As they are leading us away, the other guard stops.

"Huh? What is it bro?"

He whispers something to him.

"The shirt they're wearing? Like, what about it?"

...

"Bro... are you thinking... what I'm thinking? Bummer. This is like... mega embarrassing. We, like, actually totally have to kill you and stuff."

All of a sudden,  I feel a tug on my chest and my soul hovers above me. I guess it's something about matchmaking, or something, but I can totally tell they like each other. Liz does, too, because she pushes me back. Sweat is visible on the second guard's armor, so she starts to clean it. He starts to get too hot. Then... he takes off the chest piece for his armor?!? Gross.

The first royal guard starts sweating nervously, and Liz walks up to him and tells him something that I can't hear.

"D-dude... I can't... I can't take this anymore! Not like this!"

"Like, 02! I like... I like, LIKE you, bro! The way you fight, the way you talk... I love doing team attacks with you. I love standing here with you, bouncing and waving our weapons in sync... 02... I, like, want to stay like this forever..."
