Alphys' POV (Bet you were waiting for this.)

   I tried to keep them calm so I could feed them, but they were impatient. They would poke me, tug at my lab coat, circle around me, complain in their strange voices. One of them attempted to take the tray of food that I had in my hand from me.

   "S-settle down, please! You'll all g-get your food!" I tried to quiet them, but they continued to complain. I felt one of them pluck out one of my tail feathers. I dropped the tray in surprise, and before I could grab it, they had all literally piled on top of the tray. I sighed, not in annoyance, but in a bit more of a sorrowful way. After all, I had been the one to do this to them.

   I began to make my way back to the elevator. The halls were pretty quiet. Then a strange sound came from behind me:

💧⚐📪 ✡⚐🕆 ✌☼☜ ❄☟☜ ☼☜🏱☹✌👍☜💣☜☠❄ 💧👍✋☜☠❄✋💧❄✍

   I didn't know what that sound was, but I began to walk faster. The same sound echoed off the walls again. In response, I began to walk faster. Again, I heard the noise. I broke into a run. There was the sound again, louder, but this time it was a bit different:

🕈☟☜☼☜ ✌☼☜ ✡⚐🕆 ☝⚐✋☠☝📪 ✌☹🏱☟✡💧✍ ✋ ☟✌✞☜ 💣⚐☼☜ ✈🕆☜💧❄✋⚐☠💧 ☞⚐☼ ✡⚐🕆.

   I nearly screamed. I held my head in my hands while I ran. The sound kept repeating itself, and it got louder each time. I tripped on the front of my lab coat. I scrambled up onto my feet and continued running.

   I finally reached the elevator. I got in and pushed the buttons frantically. The doors closed and I could no longer hear the sound. I sighed in relief. I did not  want to try to figure out what that was just yet.

Mettaton POV (You were waiting for this, too. I know it.)

   I ruffled my amazing tail feathers, which were spread out behind me. I adjusted my little crown slightly and fell back into my seat, crossing my legs. I silently counted down in my head...

   3...2...1...Action!

   "Good morning, lovely monsters of the Underground! Thank you all so much for tuning in to my morning show! I hope you remembered my last tip for starting your morning off perfectly: MTT Spray-On Feather Conditioner! Remember, you have to leave it on for 15 minutes before brushing it out if you really want your feathers to have that perfect luster, like mine!"

   My show went perfectly. When we were done shooting, I went to the hotel, just to see how Burgerpants was doing. Once I got there, he had a lit cigarette sticking out of his mouth. He was slouched against the counter with a dead-inside look on his face that said: 'Please kill me now.' In short, he seemed to be doing just fine.

   The moment he saw me, he sat right up, straightening his wings and spitting out the cigarette into a nearby ashtray. I rolled my robotic eyes at him.

   "Darling, please, take better care of your wings and tail! You look like a mess," I told him. "I've seen a garbage can look better than you. And try to sit up like you are right now a little more often, please?"

   He just nodded dumbly. I wasn't sure if he could nod smartly. I smiled at him, then turned on my heels and went out the door. Off to see what Alphys was doing!
