Paperjam was sitting on the couch in the living room, While his brother, Gradient, was on the floor doodling. Paperjam sighed, he was mad at himself for agreeing to this stupid plan, In his own opinion, the two adults were more than capable to solve this themselves. But, he knew it was taking the two of them a stupidly long time to get themselves together,

Who was Paperjam talking about?

His dad and Mr. Erratum obviously.

Undyne said setting them up would be easy, she was wrong, definitely. Two weeks had already passed since they made the plan, and they were getting no where. Or more accurately, Paperjam was. He had no idea how he was going to do his part, "PJ? are you okay?"  Gradient asked him, Paperjam sighed, "yeah, 'm fine" He grumbled out, "Liar, something's been bothering you, right?"  Gradient asked, knowing the answer already, "yeah" Gradient looked at him, "Well, carry on" Paperjam sighed, and explained.

"I see... those two were awfully close when they were here"  Gradient noted, Paperjam nodded, "Those two are literally dancing around each other, it's driving us all insane" Gradient nodded, "So you gotta talk to dad about it?" Paperjam replied quickly, "Yeah, something like that" Gradient stayed silent, probably thinking, "Okay, go talk to dad"  He ordered Paperjam, Gradient proceeded to drag Paperjam all the way to the kitchen, Where Error was, probably cleaning the room for the fifth time today. "w-wait- what!?" Paperjam harshly whispered, Gradient waved dramatically, "Good luck!"  He whispered, Then he walked away. Paperjam turned to the door, "Okay, what did Undyne say to do?" He asked himself, thinking.

"Okay, how the hell am i meant to do that?" Paperjam asked, Undyne replied fairly quickly, "Just add it into a conversation, be smooth about it!" Undyne told him, moving her hands while talking, Fresh then spoke up, "Yeah! don't force it, or it will be obvious you're up to something!" Fresh told him, Paperjam sighed, "Fine, i'll do it" He told them, Undyne and Fresh started to cheer.

Paperjam sighed, "Okay, be smooth, your smooth, your king of smoothness, your middle name is smooth; Paperjam smooth miscalculation... yeah" Paperjam cheered himself. He sighed and opened the kitchen door, he entered the room and saw his dad cleaning the room, "you've cleaned this room five times already," Paperjam told his dad, Error turned around and saw Paperjam, "Oh, hello PJ, I didn't see you come in" Error stated, Paperjam shrugged, "i heard your hearing gets worse as you get older, you must just be getting old," Paperjam teased, Error playfully glared at his son, "I'm not old thank you very much" Error grumbled out, Paperjam grinned, "Really? but aren't you turning 38 this year?" Paperjam asked innocently, "...yes, but if anyone asks you, i'm 24, got it?" Paperjam laughed, "Got it dad, say... when you gonna ask Mr. Erratum out?" He asked, Error took a double-take, then gaped at his son, Before sighing, "It's that obvious huh?" He asked Paperjam, Paperjam nodded, "yeah, kinda..." He admitted, shrugging. Error sighed, "C'mon dad! it's obvious both of you like each other" Error glanced at the floor, Paperjam sighed, "Fine, if you don't ask him, i'll ask him for you" Paperjam told him, walking out of the kitchen.

Gradient came and sat next to Paperjam on the couch, "it went well i take it?"  Gradient asked, Paperjam nodded, "yeah, he said to give him a week," Gradient grinned, "I'm smart for a twelve year old, right?"  Paperjam nodded, grinning, "yep, smartest twelve year old ever" He said.

Paperjam sat next to Undyne, "I did it" He told her, She grinned, "Finally, dude, it took you two weeks to ask him! anyway, what did he say?" She asked him, Paperjam answered fairly quickly, "He said to give him a week, and if he doesn't, i'm asking for him" Undyne laughed, "geez, imagine that!" She laughed, wiping a fake tear from her eye dramatically, Paperjam laughed along with her, "do you two wanna tell the rest of us what's so funny?" Nightmare asked, glaring at the two, Undyne and Paperjam glance at each other, "No thank you sir!" Paperjam told him, Nightmare sighed harshly, then carried on with the lesson.

At lunch, the gang all sat together, eating lunch, "Hey, guess what? Paperjam finally did his part!" Undyne cheered, Fresh laughed, "Finally PJ, So, what did he say?" Fresh asked, ignoring Paperjam's protests, "Mr. Error said to give him a week, if not, Paperjam's gonna ask for him" Undyne snorted, Killer started to laugh, "Really Paperjam?" Killer asked Paperjam, Paperjam glared, "i had to threaten him! My dad thinks Mr. Erratum doesn't like him!" Paperjam reasoned, Undyne snorted again, "I'm kinda hoping he doesn't do it now, i'd love to see you do it" Paperjam glared at them all, "shut up will you? i did what you asked" Undyne laughed and patted Paperjam, "yeah, okay" She said.

Time skip

Blue walked into his room, and found Pigment staring at the sealing, looking at it with no emotion. "Hello Pigment! you okay?" Blue asked him, Pigment looked over to Blue, then instantly smiled cheerfully, "oh! hello Blue! i'm okay, see?" He said smiling even more, Blue frowned at him, "you don't need to do that, Erratum told me" Blue told Pigment. Pigment's smile fell instantly, "i see..." he replied, his face now void of emotion. Blue sat next to Pigment, and smiled, "Your eyes are pretty," Blue stated happily, Pigment looked at him, his face filled with what someone could only call surprise, "Are they? i didn't know" Pigment told him, Blue frowned, "No one ever told you that?" He asked Pigment, Pigment shook his head, "Well, they are very pretty Pigment, i like them" Blue told him, Pigment smiled slightly, eyes shining, "thanks Blue" Pigment told him, Blue grinned, "No problem!" Blue replied.

Blue smiled, "Do you want to do anything?" Blue asked, Looking at Pigment, Pigment hummed, then replied, "What do you want to do?" He asked, sitting up. Blue thought for a bit, then replied, "There's this new recipe i want to try for school, do you wanna do that?" Blue asked, Pigment stood up and smiled kindly, "Sure, what is it?" Blue grinned, "It's called a Taco" Blue responded, smiling. 

Blue grinned, looking at the four newly made Taco's, "Mhehehehe! Look at them Pigment!" Blue cheered, Pigment looked at Blue smiling, then turned to the Taco's. "They don't look have bad" Pigment stated, Softly laughing. Blue gave him a weird look, before dismissing his thoughts, "Oh! Ink and Erratum are going to love these!" Blue grinned, He turned to Pigment, "Try one!" Blue said, shoving one into Pigment's hands, Pigment sighed, and bit into it. "They're great Blue!" Pigment told him, Blue grin got wider, "Of course it is! we made them!" Blue stated, grinning.
