The Soul of Empathy

Chapter Seventeen

Chapter Seventeen

It Has Begun

Shadow took a quick shower since she took a longer one last night after the beach and got ready for the day. She slipped on some black heels and ran out the door. Her pretty flowy white skirt was blowing in the wind. She held it down and was thankful that her black tank top was tighter on her. When she got to the parking lot she realized something.

"Paps still has my car... Shit!" Shadow exclaimed looking pissed off.

She quickly called Sans, "Shad, you gotta stop waking me up like this."

His tired rough voice made Shadow blush a bit but she was too pissed off to really care, "I don't have a car Sans."

"Oh, one moment, let me get clothes on and I'll be right there", with that he hung up. Shadow walked back to her apartment to find Sans waiting for her, "Where were you?"

"The parking lot..." She replied with a frown.

Sans tried not to laugh at her and took her hand, "To Alphys' house?"

Shadow nodded and with that they were there. Sans waved and winked then vanished into thin air. Shadow knocked on the door to be let in. She found that Mettaton opened the door again. He saw her and gasped in joy and immediately dragged her inside. Shadow was confused but went with it anyways.

"Darling we must get you the perfect dress. I happen to have quite the selection of dresses!" Mettaton purred.

"Why though?" Shadow asked confounded on how a robot would have a bunch of dresses.

"Oh, I have them for fun, I love to shop for cute things and you never know when someone like you per say will need a dress." Mettaton practically sang as he dragged Shadow to his room.

It was very pink. Shadow didn't say anything about it but she looked around the room with silent amazement. He also had a walk in closet that he strutted into too. Shadow followed him close behind. She found herself in a room filled to the brim with dresses.

"Okay darling wait here I'll pick out a few dresses for you." Mettaton said walking further into his closet.

Shadow waited for a few minutes and soon enough she saw Mettaton running over with a dress covered in roses. Mettaton simply threw it at her and shut the closet door. Shadow figured that he wanted her to try it on and started undressing. Soon she was in the dress. She stood in the full length mirror that was in the closet and had to admit it was a really pretty dress. The dress was short and silky, it had a fluffy skirt and a tight top part, it was also a sweetheart cut. The base color was black and it had a beautiful rose design adorning it. She spun around a little and had to admit she really liked it. Mettaton knocked on the door and Shadow told him to come in.

"Darling you look amazing!" Mettaton sang. Shadow looked and saw Undyne and Alphys there too.

"Punk that dress looks good on you!"

"W-wow Shady you look really nice!"

Shadow flushed red, "Oh thank you."

With that they started talking about the party and what would happen at it. Looks like Blooky was going to be DJing again. Other than that this one was going to focus mostly on drinking and dancing. Shadow was pretty excited for next Saturday which was the day of the party. Soon enough they were done planning and they were sitting down for lunch.

"Shady d-do you have a date?" Alphys asked.

"I actually do, Sans asked me yesterday when he took me home." Shadow smiled.
