Undertale: Tales from the Dreemurr Family

Culinary Contest of the Ages! (Part 2)

(Toriel's POV)

It seemed as though everything was going smoothly in preparing for the cooking contest. I texted Alphys later in the day, asking her what she wanted to make. A few minutes later, my phone chimed, prompting me to look at it to see Alphys's response.

How about onigiri? She had asked. In case you're wondering, onigiri is just rice balls. I can send you a recipe.

I texted my approval to the scientist. I remembered she was a fan of Japanese culture, like their food, attire, and, most importantly to her, anime.

Alphys sent me a recipe soon afterwards. I could tell she had been planning to make it for a little while.

(Asriel's POV)

"How about pumpkin pie?" Asgore asked me.

I chuckled. "Maybe we shouldn't do any pies, Dad."

Asgore chuckled as well. "I'm not that bad! I just haven't found the right mix for butterscotch pie... yet."

"Even so, maybe we shouldn't risk ruining any pies." I sighed sadly. "It's a shame, too... I was thinking about making snail pie." Just the thought of snail pie made my stomach growl. I could almost taste it... it was so close, and yet, a distant fantasy for this contest.

"I understand," Asgore said. "But the least we can do is find a recipe that works. I didn't say it had to be pie, right?"

I nodded, racking my brain for ideas. Then, suddenly, I got one.

"Meatloaf!" I cried. My tail wagged excitedly at the idea. "Remember the recipe?"

Asgore laughed, his own fluffy tail wagging. "By golly, why didn't I think of that? Meatloaf it is!"

(Mettaton's POV, next day, 3:00 P.M.)

"Greetings, beauties and gentlebeauties!" I said. "Welcome to the official unofficial Culinary Contest of the Ages! Sponsored by MTT Brand, Inc. I'm your host, Mettaton! And before we get down to the culinary contest itself, let's introduce the teams!"

A recorded cheering sound played from speakers around the cooking contest kitchen. That's what everyone does, darling! And I bet you're wondering why this contest is an official unofficial one. You see, it was meant to be a family-and-friends thing. However, I wanted to showcase this group of humans and monsters having fun... on live TV! Plus, it would do wonders for my ratings!

"On the Green Team, we have the descendants of the Wizards of Bravery and Justice... Thalia and Sage!"

As the recorded cheers played, Thalia pumped her fist, yelling, "IMMA WIN THIS THING!" Sage just waved politely.

"On the Violet Team, we have the descendant of the Wizard of Perseverance and the Princess of Monsters herself... Jericho and Aria!"

The recorded cheers played, Aria gave big waves as Jericho pushed his glasses further up on his nose.

"On the Blue Team, we have the notoriously lazy skeleton and the knife-wielding descendent of the Wizard of Determination... Sans and Chara!"

Sans had been sneaking in a quick power nap, but the sound of the cheers (and a strong shove from Chara) woke him up.

"You ready to kill the competition?" Chara asked.

"just make it not too violent," Sans said.

"On the Lavender Team," I said, "we have the Queen of Monsters/fluffy goat mom, and the Royal Scientist... give it up for Toriel and Alphys!"
