As a flower, Flowey had always found it difficult to get around  certain areas. Snowdin's ground was freezing, Hotland's ground was rock  hard, and the Core was nothing but sheets of metal. However, he knew  that he would much rather travel through Hotland by walking on his roots  rather than being held like this, especially when MK had gradually  forgotten to keep his tail from wagging too much.

                   "Yo! How old are you? ...Me too! Favorite color? ...Purple? Really? I  thought it was yellow! ...Because you're a yellow soul! And yellow's  the coolest color! And orange! Like fire! Why do you like purple? ...I  mean yeah it's pretty, but is it cool? ...I respect you! Even if you're a  human!" MK continued to ramble on to himself, and that had only given  Flowey an even larger headache. After all, how could he focus on their  conversation when he could only hear one side of it? Even if it was all  simple, it was still irritating, and by the end of their walk, all the  flower could do was lie limply over the monster's tail.

                   "We're here! We're here!" MK exclaimed, the young monster's tail  wagging in excitement. However, it stopped when he heard Flowey let out a  sick groan, and that was when he finally noticed that Flowey wasn't  exactly doing so well. "Yo! You okay dude?"

                  "What  do you think?" Flowey snapped, or at least he tried to snap. He was  clearly too sick to do much else, much to MK's dismay.

                  'Good riddance.'

                  "Lucy! That's mean!"

                   'He tried to kill us.'

                  "But still-!"

             "Please  stop talking like that. Head hurts. This hurts!" Flowey whined, MK then  apologizing before looking back up at the structure they'd stopped at.  Even if Flowey was sick, they'd still done it. They'd arrived at Alphys'  lab, and MK was hoping and praying that the nervous scientist was still  alive.

                Setting the container down, MK then  carefully walked to the large metal door, not knowing what to really do  other than knock. On instinct, he prepared to use his head to do the  knocking, but thankfully, Lucy had stopped him and used one of his new  hands to knock instead, or at the very least she tried to. Instead, the  door had swooshed open, revealing nothing but an ominous darkness  inside.

                "...Uh, what happened to the lights...?"  Labs had lights, didn't they? He could've sworn they did. Either way,  this didn't feel right to him, and automatically, the monster shrank  away from the building, watching as the doors slid shut.

                 "They're off, idiot. Just go inside and turn them on," grumbled  Flowey, MK then looking back at the doors with a worried expression. He  was nervous, even if he didn't want to admit it. However, despite how  sick he felt, Flowey was still certainly capable of insulting the young  monster. "What? You can defeat some murderous brat but not walk through  some dark room? How stupid even are you?"

                "I'm not  stupid!" MK defended, only to then puff up his cheeks as he stared at  the door. Eventually deciding that he should get on with it, the monster  then picked up the soul container he had and walked forward, stiffly  entering the lab once the doors whooshed open once again.

                 Even with the container in his hand, however, the lab was quite  dark, and creepy to say the least. The lights were off, With the room  illuminated by nothing but the light from the door. The light, however,  was quickly snuffed when the doors closed behind the monsters, causing  MK to jump and try to shield himself with his tail.
