*I hope Chara and I can have a relationship like theirs someday.* I thought, giving a small sigh. 

I walked on. The next room was pitch black. Alphys called and then turned on the lights. It seemed Chara and I were being filmed on MTT's show again. This time it was a news broadcast. There was a news border around Chara and I but from our point of view, we could see it was just card board. Mettaton told us to walk around and find something to report about. A few steps in front of us was a sort of book. 

"OH NO!!! THAT'S MY MOVIE SCRIPT!!! HOW'D??? THAT GET THERE???" Mettaton said in a really exaggerated tone. 

He then promoted the movie. "YOU WOULDN'T (COUGH) SPOIL MY MOVIE FOR EVEYONE, WOULD YOU?" He asked. 

I opened the script to find a bomb inside. The cardboard set fell away and we were left with Mettaton and a plethora of bombs. Mettaton explained that if we didn't deactive all the bombs in the next 2 minutes that a bigger bomb just feet away from us would blow us to smithereens. Alphys called explaining that our phone had a bomb disabling feature then hung up. 

"Man, this phone just has everything, doesn't it?" Chara condescendingly asked. 

With the fact we might die in mind, Chara and I rushed to defuse all the bombs. We finished with a bit of time to spare. I gave Chara a celebratory hi-five then Mettaton came back. 

"WELL DONE, DARLINGS! YOU'VE DEACITIVATED ALL THE BOMBS! IF YOU DIDN'T DEACTIVE THEM, THE BIG BOMB WOULD HAVE EXPLOADED IN TWO MINUTES. NOW IT WON'T EXPLOADE IN TWO MINUTES! INSTEAD IT'LL EXPLOADE IN TWO SECONDS! GOODBYE, DARLINGS!" Mettaton shouted while he laughed maniacally. 

I held onto Chara as if that was gonna protect us and Chara did the same to me. He stopped laughing soon after when he realized the bomb wasn't going off. 

"AH. IT SEEMS THE BOMB ISN'T GOING OFF." With that said, Chara and I calmed down. 

Alphys then called us again like she had after the cooking show. 

"That's b-because!!! While you were monologuing... I...!!! I f... fix... Um... I ch-change..." Alphys sputtered out and I could basically hear her sweating through the phone. 

"OH NO. YOU DEACTIVATED THE BOMB WITH YOUR HACKING SKILLS." Mettaton said sounding kind of unimpressed. 

"Yeah! That's what I did!" Alphys tried to redeem herself. 

"CURSES! IT SEEMS I'VE BEEN FOILED AGAIN! CURSE YOU, HUMAN! CURSE YOU, DR. ALPHYS, FOR HELPING SO MUCH! BUT I DON'T CURSE MY EIGHT WONDERFUL VIEWERS FOR TUNING IN!!! UNTILL NEXT TIME, DARLINGS!" And with that, MTT left again although, we'd undoubtedly see him again. 

"W-wow... W-we really showed him, huh?... H-hey, I know I was kinda weird at first... But I think I'm getting more... M-more... More confident about guiding you two! S-so don't worry about that b-big d-dumb robot... I-I'll protect you guys from him! A-and if it really c-came down to it, we could just t-turn... Um, nevermind. Later!" Alphys said and quickly hung up then Chara and I were on our way once more. 

"Hey." Chara prompted, tapping on my shoulder. 

I stopped and turned to look at them. 

"Yeah, what is it?" I responded. 

Chara leaned in right beside my ear and whispered in it. 

"You can totally tell Alphys is faking. She's not really helping anything." They said. 

"Oh, come on, you can't really think that." I countered. 

"I don't think so, I know so. I mean, come on. She didn't even know what she was saying a while ago." Chara reasoned. 

I crossed my arms. "Can't you just play along for once Chara? You might actually have fun you know." I huffed. 

"Fine, fine. I'll play this stupid game of theirs." Chara said rolling their eyes and we started to walk again.
