(A note: in celebration of Undertale coming to the Nintendo Switch, and me and my roommates playing it to death. I felt a desire to update some of my old Undertale fanfictions, let me know if you would like me to finish this. I have some ideas to finish or continue this. I hope you enjoy

Alphys was sitting in her lab, it was cluttered perusal. There were papers marked with scribblings everywhere, along with empty ramen noodle packets. She was sitting on a small office chair, her knees tucked under her knee. Tapping away at her keyboard, inputting lines of code for her newest program, a start-up guide to human life for other monsters. A handy app for people looking to leave the underground, even with them being free. There was still a lot of fear, an unknown world full of a race once known to kill monsters. Alphys wanted the soothe her own anxiety, by looking after the others. So then, she can maybe follow her own advice. She suddenly jumped, as her phone aggressively vibrated on her desk, several ramen packets being disrupted and crinkling on the table.

"HEY ALPHY IT'S ME" The booming voice was easily recognizable, it was Undyne.

Alphys rubbed her dry eyes, her monitors clock catching her attention.

"Undyne? Its 2:00am? Why are you awake, just because I stay up watching anime? You shouldn't too! You have training tomorrow!" Alphys attempted to scold Undyne, but she was too tired.

"ALPHYS I AM HERE WITH PAPYRUS, WHY IS METTATON GHOSTING HIM. I BELIVE METTATON SHOULD INSTEAD TALK ABOUT HIS PROBLEMS, INSTEAD OF IGNORING PAPYRUS. AS IN A RELATIONSHIP, ITS IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE"

Alphys stared at the wall, blankly. Trying to take in all the information, that Undyne had unloaded on her. At such an ungodly hour.

"Undyne, I promise to talk to Mettaton. But please go to bed and stop going to Papyrus's house for dramatic tension. I know you want to help, but its too late everyone will feel worse." Alphys soothed Undyne's worries, Undyne just wants to help but is always so aggressive about it.

"OK…I'm sorry for calling you so late, thanks for talking to me buddy! Goodnight!" Undyne gushed, she was clearly trying to come across less intense. Undyne abruptly hung up on Alphys, leaving Alphys staring at her phone.

Going through the mental math, to figure out what on earth had just happened. Slowly pushing her self off her chair, she plodded along down the hallway. Her comfy PJ pant bottoms dragging across the floor, she made her way to her comfy bed. An early night for her, but she decided to follow her own advice. Before questioning Mettaton in the morning.

It was 10am, Hotland per the usual was steamy. There were monsters and some humans wandering around, either getting to work or being tourists. Mettaton had managed to escape the crowds on his way home, and made his presence known as he got home.

"Alphys darling I'm home! We finished shooting early for the new human tourism program! I think its going to be a total hit!" declaring to the large lab, as they stormed up the stairs to Alphys work station.

She was sitting in the same spot as last night, but this time with her morning ramen. Taking a break from her work, she is watching an anime about a blonde ninja and their wacky adventures. She turned her head sleepily, wiping her mouth with her PJ sleeve. Mettaton's eyes widened when they saw Alphys, bringing their gloved hand to their face.

"Your awake too! Not usually the early bird but oh my, Alphys I am impressed!" Mettaton began to giggle slightly, but Alphys' face didn't not change.

Mettaton abruptly stopped, when they realised Alphys was basically staring at them. If he was human, he would have sweat beads on his forehead. He tried to act very casual as he stood, pretend Alphys wasn't staring at him. He shifted his weight on to each foot, trying to appear cool as a cucumber.

"Well I'm glad your anime breakfast is filling that science brain of yours, I better go fine tune my software. So I can make some sick moves later, toodles!" Mettaton turned their heel and made their way out of the room, waving at Alphys trying to leave the situation.

"Mettaton come back we need to talk" Alphys commanded Mettaton, his heels dug into the ground.

He was trapped. The two locked eyes as Alphys jumped from her chair, and stood tall in front of Mettaton, her arms crossed, her face was stern. But Mettaton's overpowering tall metallic body, always overpowered Alphys. No matter who was doing the scolding, it was like a kitten roaring at a lion. Mettaon's long arms cowardly resting behind his back.

"Undyne called me in the middle of the night, she's worried about how your treating Papyrus. You haven't been speaking to him? What happened?"

Mettaton seemed taken aback by the question.

"Nothing happened! Look its not a big deal I got this, you don't need to worry." Mettaton tried to reassure Alphys, but their snappy tone said otherwise.

"My relationship is not yours to worry about, now excuse me, I don't want to talk about this anymore"

Mettaton's diva attitude was paired with a dramatic turn and strut as they left the room, the sound of their heels clanking against the steps. Alphys called after Mettaton but was met with the sound of the automatic door shutting. As Mettaton locked themselves in their bedroom. Throwing themselves onto the pink plush bed cover, they lay on their side cradling their body. Feeling comforted by their safe place. Mettaton's room was a small girl's dream, it was a pale shade of pink with a darker pink as the fluffy carpet. The room was plastered with posters from previous shows, and photos with his friends. A beautiful white dresser, with a accompany small white plush stool. It was Mettaton's dream princess room, their bed was the best part. Even though Mettaton didn't sleep as a creation of artificial intelligence. Next to his bed was a source of cables that fed through the wall, behind the head of the base. Mettaton wanted a bedroom to seem like any other monster, to feel like everyone else. As Mettaton tried to get comfortable, they were disturbed by their vibrating phone near the end of the bed. Ignoring it they rubbed their face against one of their white fluffy pillows, trying to relax and ignore the responsibility. As their head lay upon the pillow, one of the photos taped to their wall caught their attention. It was a more recent photo, slightly crinkled but still beautiful in Mettaton's eyes. It was a joint selfie with Papyrus, on their most recent date. At the MTT resort restaurant after hours, they had the whole place to themselves. Per Mettaton's request.

"Oh Papyrus, your beautiful soul, the only thing that could make someone like me insecure" mumbling themselves as they started at the photo

"I'm acting like such a fool, like a real diva more than usual, I need to face my fears"

Sans was stood in their homely doorway, hitting one his slippers against the wall. Attempting to not drag snow into the house, something they only did on special occasions. They were met with an empty, peaceful house. Everything was in its regular place, there was no Papyrus to be seen.

"Yo Papyrus where you at?" Sans called out in the room, though met with no answer, they heard a quiet scratching sound.

Following the sound into the kitchen, they realised it was coming from under the kitchen sink. Where there was a small cupboard door.

"Huh, isn't this where that cute Dog is who steals Papyrus' bones? I've never actually looked in here?"

Kneeling in front of the door. They grasped the handle with their carpal bones in their hand, they door opened easier than Sans expected. Opening the door, they were met with a small dark hole. They shuddered as they were met with a small gust of wind, completely bewildered by this strange discovery. The sound of scratching was much louder, now that the door was open. Confronted with an almost bone chilling, mysterious hallway in his own home. He ignored his fears and crawled through the hole. As they continued to crawl through, there was a dark blue room at the end of the room. The closer they got, the more confused Sans became about the mess of a room. Cluttered with random human garbage, bones and a strange set of Blue and red doors. Sans was met with Papyrus, crouching in the middle of the room, rubbing the annoying dog's head. As it continues to scratch the floor, pit patting it in excitement. Sans let out a sigh of relief, Papyrus now aware of Sans' arrival turned his head.

"Oh, hi Sans, I found out where this pesky dog has been hiding my bones" His voice was somewhat dull, not a chipper as it usually is.

"I finished all my duties, and still tried to message Mettaon, but I feel hopeless what did I do?"

Sans brought himself to Papyrus' side, sitting next to him joining on the dog petting session.

"Papyrus you are a good person, a good guard and a cool younger brother. You have done nothing wrong, you have done everything you can. Unfortunately, as your older brother, I have to teach you about relationships and how shit they can be sometimes." Sans voice took on a soothing tone, attempting to not only console Papyrus.

But use it as one of not many teaching moments, to help Papyrus the older they become and more they experience. Sans was hurt with Mettaton's immature actions, especially with someone as endearing and innocent as Papyrus. Who would never hurt anyone, and just wants to make Mettaton the happiest robot in the world.

"Sans" Papyrus quietly said, removing their hand from the dog's head.

"I know you have a slight bias, I know your not a big fan of Mettaton. But as my only brother and family, I only want you to speak the truth. Do you think Mettaton and I can work this out?"

Sans kept their eyes on the ground for a moment, focused on the annoying dog staring back at it. Making Sans somewhat uncomfortable, they turned attention to Papyrus. Who had such a sad look on their face, its broke Sans' soul seeing him in so much pain. Sans thought for a moment, whether to be honest with Papyrus, or make him happy. It was a difficult moment for Sans, but he made up his mind. As he went to speak, he was interrupted by the annoying dog and it began to bark loudly. Its attention somewhat drawn to the dark small crawl way, back out of the room. In a quick motion, it jumped through the two skeletons, and raced through the hole. Sans again attempted to even open their mouth, but the dogs annoying barking was so loud and almost piercing to their ears. Reluctantly the two follow the sound back to their kitchen, to see it patiently sitting at the front door. Barking loudly. A familiar blurry pink can be seen through the doors window, making it clear who was visiting them.
