Chapter 26: Fuck what?!

I was only cutting tomatoes when I notice Sans beside me, grinning. "wanna learn how to cut tomatoes like a pro?" He smirks and takes his right hand out of his pocket. I snicker. "Sure. Show me how it's done boneboy." I say and see him take my place behind the cutting board.

A blue power forms in his hands and a blue aura surrounds a couple of knifes. The knifes begin cutting and mashing the tomatoes while Sans is lazily grinning at me.
So he has telekinetic powers. Well then. He didn't lie about being a magical skeleton.

"ALEX ARE THE TOMATOES READY?" Papyrus shouts from the other side, busy with boiling the noodles.

"Almost!" I shout and eye Sans a nervous look, who is currently shoving the tomatoes in a bowl with his powers. When the tomatoes are done, I bring the bowl to the taller skeleton, who thanks me.

"So what now?" I ask him and look at the kitchen. Undyne is busy doing whatever she is doing. Probably smashing something and Sans is doing.. well.. Sans things.

"YOU CAN HELP PLACING PLATES AND CUTLERY ON THE TABLES!" Papyrus shouts and points at a rather large cupboard, probably with the plates in it. I open it and grab the plates out of it and walk trough the door, into the cafeteria. I also notice how Mettaton is ending the concert and the majority of sound which is coming trough these walls is insane.

I begin placing the plates on the tables while humming a Mettaton song. Blame the concert for that I suppose.

"need help?" Sans asks suddenly. I jump at his deep voice, not expecting him to behind me. "jeez calm down. I know I'm stunning but you don't have to jump." He laughs and begins placing cutlery on the table.

"Well have a knife day." I grin.

Sans laughs and continues placing the cutlery. "See you spoon."

I snort. "You better fork off with your puns." I laugh again and finish placing the plates. Sans finishes as well and returns to the kitchen with me.

"that was forking terrible."

"SANS I SWEAR TO GOD WE HAVE A GUEST YOU CAN'T MAKE PUNS!" Papyrus shouts angrily and stands in the doorway. I'm pretty sure I see a smile on his face as well though.

"Too spoon?" I grin at Papyrus' face.

"NYEH SANS YOU HAVE ALREADY INFLUENCED HER!"

"Hey spooner or later I'll leave." I laugh. Sans is now rolling on the floor.

Undyne groans at my amazing puns and continues smashing things. I hear the door opening and I look the way of the door. Mettaton and a lizard lady are standing in the doorway. Deep breaths Alex, deep breaths.

"HELLO DARLINGS! I AM BACK!" Mettaton shouts and poses dramatically in the doorway, which is inconvenient for Alphys, since she hasn't walked out of there yet.

"ALPHYS!" I shout a little too enthousiast and run over there to hug her.

"A-Alex?" She stutters and hugs back awkwardly. Maybe I shouldn't have been that excited, since she is jumpy and all.

"The one and only." I smile and let go of her.

"Oh w-wow! It's so g-good meeting  you!" Alphys laughs and walks into the kitchen. "Is everything going as planned here?"

"YES! WE EVEN HAVE TIME LEFT BECAUSE ALEX CUT THE TOMATOES AND SET THE TABLE WITH SANS!" Papyrus shouts happily and energetic as always. If I won't be deaf in a few hours, that would be a miracle.

"I believe we met online?" Mettaton asks you innocently and shakes my hand before striking a dramatic pose again, causing me to bow forward.

"Yeah we talked one or two times." I say. Oh if Jess would know I am talking to Mettaton..

"mt?" Sans asks, getting the robot's attention. "so Alex is kinda looking for a job. and I thought maybe you could help her out? I mean we could use some help in the kitchen and such." He asks.

Wait what? Did Sans literally talk me into a job. I swear if he succeeds I'll kiss him.

"Well that is true, but we couldn't possibly afford another employee. We already have so many and it would just become crowded." Mettaton sadly smiles at me.

"She could sleep at my place?" Sans suggests. This isn't going to work, is it? 

"Listen Sans, you're a great guy but it won't work. We are on a budget and we just can't afford another employee. I'm sorry for you too Alex. You probably had planned it all out, but it just can't happen."

Sans has a weird look on his face. It's a mix of sad, angry and confused kind of. "But this never happens." Sans whispers.

Mettaton cocks an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" He asks, and dramatically turns. I'm very confused as well actually.

Would it have to do anything with the timelines he told me about?

"Nevermind." Sans laughs and looks at me. "Maybe you could spend the night here if you want?" He invites me.

I nod and smile at him. "Sure. I'll just text Jess real quick." I say and grab my phone.

Alex: im spending the night with skels tonigt see you tomorrow bro

Jess: Dont forget the condoms lol

Alex: jesus were not fonna fuck were friends

Jess: mind your grammar or you aren't allowed to sleep over

Alex: k mom

"Done." I say as I put my phone into my back pocket again.

Mettaton claps his hands. "Well chop chop first finish the spaghetti please!" He commands and sends us to the kitchen.

"i need to go to the toilet for a second hold on." Sans says and casually teleports.

I'm still not used to that what the fuck.

"ALEX! THERE YOU ARE! ARE YOU READY TO MAKE MY AMAZING SPAGHETTI?"

"Almost. I gotta check something first. Can you tell me where the toilets are?"
