"more ham." Master Red absentmindedly ordered you. It was always hard remembering Master Black's order, but it was even harder keeping up with Master Red's stomach sometimes. Even Master Black had given up ordering you around in the kitchen, yet, here was Master Red. Still asking for more food. Even though you had other chores. And he's basically eaten the entire kitchen at this point.

"Master Red, that's your seventh piece. Are you sure you don't want-"

"more." He yawned, not even bothering to cover his mouth.

You exhaled. You really needed to move onto your other chores. Master Red seemed to notice your irritation.

"aww, come on, sweetheart. where's that stellar smile i love, with a 'delighted to serve you, master red!'" He grinned, impishly.

You flashed him a sarcastically fake smile, saying, "Delighted to serve you, Master Red!"

He laughed at your satire, "that's what i like to see!"

You started to cook his ham over the stove, yet he still seemed to want to entertain himself with you.

"what if i start telling jokes like 'ol sansy does, hmm?" He egged on, "would that make you laugh?"

"Please don't, Master Red."

"i might do it now just to bug you."

"Master Red, I'm begging you."

"don't ham it up now."

You groaned on the inside. You could barely take Master Sans' constant attempts at humor, you couldn't deal with his puns too.

Master Red snickered at your expression, before continuing. "don't worry sweetheart, puns aren't really my thing. i prefer the funner stuff."

Funner? You weren't even sure that was grammatically correct. "What do you mean, Master Red?"

Master Red started to snicker, almost getting excited. "okay okay, so black humor's like a pair of legs."

Oh no.

"Not everyone has it!" Master Red erupted with laughter, while you just stared with slight horror. No wonder Master Black's jokes were so depressing. "what, didn't like that one? okay how about this one. for sale: parachute—used once, never opened, small stain!" More bellows of laughter.

"Oh." You blinked. "Wow."

"come on, dollface." Master Red growled. "would you prefer i asked for more ham?"

You began laughing at his jokes, earning a smile from him.

"okay, here's another one! so i was in the woods with my friend, when a bear came up to us. luckily, i had my pistol with me."

You already had a sick feeling in your stomach.

"one shot to my friend's kneecaps, and i could walk away without a sweat! bahahahaha!"

It ended up even worse! "Haha..." You weakley voiced.

"thought that i'd kill an animal? nah, i'm more of a people person! ahahahahaa!"

Oh geez. You gave him another weak laugh, hoping he'd stop. But he didn't.

"oh oh, what did the human say when-!" To your surprise, Master Black was your saving grace.

"ARE YOU TELLING MORE OF THOSE INSISTENT JOKES?!" Master Black boomed, making his grand entrance by pulling Master Red up by his collar.

"w-what? no, i was just-!"

"SILENCE!" He interrupted. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES! I NEED THE HUMAN, SO GO BOTHER SOMEBODY ELSE!"

For a split second, you saw Master Red's expression shift to... irritation? jealousy? defiance? No, that couldn't be right. Not to Master Black. Master Red had never defied Master Black, especially not for something as trivial as a human, right? You must've imagined it.

But, if that was the case, then Master Black imagined it as well, because his eyelights grew smaller with shock, before narrowing. "ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS, BROTHER?" He asked, his voice low and threatening.

Master Red's expression went back to fear, "n-no! of cours-se not boss! i just..."

"YOU JUST WHAT?"

Master Red started sweating like crazy, not liking being put under pressure but still not willing to give in. You had the overwhelming feeling that you should help him, despite the fact that he was truly awful.

"It's just that Master Red was in the midst of showing me an extremely important, uhm, thing, Master Black."

"THING?" Master Black looked to you with confusion, interest, and slight revulsion like the word was going to bite him.

"Yes, exactly."

"WHAT IS THIS THING, I DEMAND YOU TELL ME." Master Black said to Master Red.

"u-uhm, b-boss, uh-" Master Red looked to you like you were crazy for making up this elaborate tall tale, but a slight hint of gratitude crossed his expression and... hope? But all of that was gone when he looked back to boss with panicked fear.

"It's a surprise." You answered for him.

"A SURPRISE?" Master Black seemed to think for a moment, as if debating on what he should do with this newfound information. "WHY? FOR WHOM? YOU MUST TELL ME."

"But that would defeat the purpose of the surprise, Master Black."

"DRAT! YOU'RE RIGHT!" He cursed under his breath, dropping the shaky and sweaty Master Red. "IS IT FOR ME? OF COURSE IT'S FOR ME, THAT'S WHY YOU AREN'T TELLING ME ANYTHING. BUT IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY... AND IT'S NOT SOME OBSCURE HUMAN HOLIDAY INCLUDING GIFTS... MAYBE YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT FOR ME TO EXPRESS YOUR UNRIVALED ADORATION! NYAHAHA!"

You and Master Red stayed silent as Master Black laughed haughtily, before he continued.

"WELL, THEN IF THAT'S THE CASE, I'LL BE IN MY ROOM. JUST THROWING THAT LITTLE PIECE OF INFORMATION OUT THERE. JUST IN CASE, OH I DON'T KNOW, SOMEBODY DECIDED TO GIVE ME SOMETHING IT'D PROBABLY BE BEST IN THERE. JUST SAYING. FOR THE CASE OF SUCH EVENTS. MMMMHHHMMM." Master Black smiled to himself, visibly excited over the surprise that was never to come. "COME FIND ME WHEN YOU TWO NEED SOMETHING!"

And with a slam of the door, he was gone. There was a moment of silence, before Master Red spoke up.

"heh. thanks, sweetheart... i guess."

"I guess?" You just saved him from dealing with Master Black's wrath, and —more importantly— you from having to do whatever task he needed from you.

"well, now i have to get him some surprise that will meet his expectations." Master Red grumbled.

"You could always pretend the surprise wasn't for him?"

"you know boss, he'd get all grumpy and short tempered afterward. it wouldn't be pretty." Master Red sighed, before his impish grin returned. "it's a good thing i have a sweet human maid to help me, isn't that right?"

"Hmm, the chores seem suddenly incredibly important right now-"

"come on, pudding." Master Red pushed you roughly forward, putting his hand on your lower back. "we got a bit of work to do."

---

"hmm... okay i got it."

You were in the garage, where three vehicles took up most of the space. There was a bright red sports car on the left, a blue motorcycle in the center, and lastly a sleek black muscle car on the right. Two tricycles and a play car were pushed to the side, though you don't ever remember them being used despite the fact that they seem to be in a different spot every few weeks or so.

"What do you have in mind, Master Red?"

"okay, so i know boss really hates it when people touch his car, but recently he's been watchin' those crappy 90s movies with the cars and whatever, and his eyes always light up when the cars with the flames on them show up on screen. sooo, i say we get some paints and our artist on, what do ya think?"

Wow. You were very perceptive when it came to your Masters, but this was a whole new level of keen. You would've been impressed if you weren't 90% sure he was slightly obsessed with his younger brother.

"I don't know, Master Red... Master Black would torture us if we even breathed on his car wrong. Literally, actually, LEGITIMATELY torture us both, knives and all. Maybe even with some electrocution. He's been relatively into that lately."

"that's why you're here, sweets." Master Red started to shuffle through some boxes in the corner of the garage, not even bothering to look at you. "if anything goes south, i have someone to blame."

"Considerate as always, Master Red."

Master Red chuckled, before pulling out red, orange, and yellow paints. "don't worry, dollface. careful is my middle name. now do me a favor and rub your finger prints all over these paint cans"

You sighed, his 'reassurance' doing nothing to cure your worry. But you did as you were told, but when you tried to give him the paints back, he laughed in your face.

"what do you think you're doing, sweetheart? i'm not painting the car, you are."

"Wait, what?"

"pfft, i'm not wasting the next few hours on that boring crap. good luck, though. it's your life that'll depend on it." Master Red sat in a chair, hunching back and closing his eyes to nap.

"Wait, but Master Red I've never painted a car before! I don't even know the correct pattern to paint! What if I mess up?"

"well, ya better figure it out. don't worry, sweetheart, i believe in ya. a death threat can motivate great things out of people, heheh."

Of course, why would you expect anything different. Before you could waste your breath anymore on protests, he fell asleep. You sighed, before looking back at the car. Lucky for you, you had seen the type of flames Master Red was talking about. But unlucky for you, you had no idea how to start. Do you just go at it, or what?

After a moment or two of contemplating, you decided to just go at it. If all else failed, you could always casually mention to Master Black that Master Red was the one who came up with the idea for revenge.

Dipping your brush in the red paint, you began your worrisome job.

---

You wiped your forehead with exhaustion. A few hours had past, and you completed the car's paint job. And, if you were being technical, it looked... okay. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. You were sincerely impressed with yourself, considering it was your first time painting a car... but Master Red wasn't.

You heard his voice from behind you, laced with irritation and impassiveness. "what is that?"

"It's my last four hours of effort. I suggest not touching it, Master Red. The paint still needs to dry."

Master Red looked at it like it was the scum of the earth, "are ya joking? this is crap."

His words struck you like an arrow. "My apologies, Master Red, but you were the one who decided it would be a wonderful idea to make the human maid, who's barely even been in a car before, paint the entire thing with a pattern she's rarely even seen by memory alone."

"yeah, well i thought you'd at least do a better job than this. i probably could've done a better job if i covered myself in paint and slept on the dang thing."

You felt your cheeks heat up in anger, "Well, my deepest apologies, then." You huffed, crossing your arms and turning the other direction.

Master Red stood up, walking around you. He made a noise of discontent. "i mean, wow. you'd think all that dusting would at least give you some skill with your hands." Out of the corner of your eyes, you saw him... grin? Wait, was he saying this just to get a rise out of you? Ugh, these skeletons. "i guess i'll just have to explain to boss that you decided it would be a good idea to play with the paints, huh?"

"Whatever you say, Master Red." You almost rolled your eyes as you walked past him to sit on the chair, deciding you were not going to feed into his lust for a reaction.

His grin immediately fell into a scowl, "i'm sure boss will laugh when he sees it, after he's done torturing you."

"Sounds about right."

"he might even use his new toys on you for the poorly done job, alone."

"Dang." You said, sarcastically. "Life sucks."

His eyelights scrolled your body up and down, before he rolled them, obviously getting bored with trying to make you angry again. "eh, it's passible."

His surrender made you smile. Passible was better than nothing. "We should wait for the paint to dry, it could take a while."

Master Red sighed. "fair enough. now why don't you clean up these paint, hmm?" He picked up the red paint bucket with a grin.

"Of course, Master Red-" You looked to his hands, noticing the paint all over his hands. "Oh, Master Red. You got paint on-"

"what?" Master Red took one of his hands off the bucket. "ugh! great. at least it looks like i did most of the work, now... wait, why aren't you covered in paint?"

"Because I'm actually careful with the paints, Master Red."

Master Red scowled at your insult. "careful, huh?" He grinned impishly, looking at you with a predatory gaze that made you regret saying those words. "well, maybe we should change that?"

"W-wait, Master Red! I only have one dress!" You said, backing up from him as he advanced forward with the bucket. "It'll be impossible to get that paint out!"

"don't worry. i always thought you'd look best covered in red anyway."

No way you were going to work in a paint-covered dress, let alone work the rest of the day in your tank top and shorts. What if Master Sans makes you pay for a new uniform? No. Way.

You quickly ducked under Master Red, dodging past him. Master Red quickly turned around in a rush to try and catch you, "hey, hold still-!"

But in his rush to catch you, he tripped over his own feet! You quickly grabbed Master Red from falling, and you were able to catch him before he hurt anything... except you weren't able to catch the red bucket. Which spilled all. Over. Master Black's. Car.

...

"AAAAAAAAA!" You both screamed.

"oh my stars he'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillme-! wait, no! he's gonna kill you! ah, thank asgore..."

"Uhm, Master Red?" You pointed to his paint-covered phalanges.

...

"AAAAAAAA!" He screamed. He quickly grabbed the bucket, and smeared your hands with paint. "there! now we're both doomed!"

You rushed over to the nearby sink and washed off the paint. As expected, it came right off. After seeing your actions, Master Red pushed you out of the way and tried to wash off the paint as well. What you didn't expect is that it didn't come off.

"what the heck?!" Master Red panicked. "why isn't it coming off?!"

"I guess it sticks to bone more than flesh."

"oh my stars! i'm soooooo dead!" Master Red started shaking like crazy. "he'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakillmehe'sgonnakill-! YOU! this is your fault! if you hadn't said there was going to be a surprise then-! then-!"

"Pointing fingers will solve nothing, Master Red."

"i'll just say you framed me, then! there! problem solved!"

"We both know Master Black isn't going to see anything both what he believes, Master Red."

"i'mgonnadiei'mgonnadiei'mgonnadiei'mgonnadiei'mgonnadiei'mgonnadiei'mgonnadiei'mgonnadiei'mgonnadie-! PLEASE, y/n i'm begging you! pleeeeeaase! fix this! i'll do anything for you, i swear! just pleasepleaseplease fix this!"

Ah, nothing like groveling jerkwads to bring your spirits up this late in the afternoon. Luckily for him, you were merciful. After a few requests, of course, since he so rudely made you work for four extra hours despite the fact that there were chores to be done and then proceeded to make fun of your hard work. Plus you were going to have to stay up late that night trying to catch up on chores again. And he just tried to throw you under the bus, multiple times. Oh, and let's not forget he was just a horrible person in general.

"No extra food for a week."

"done!"

"And no extra requests either."

"of course!"

"Aaaaand more groveling. Call me mistress while you're at it."

Master Red immediately fell to his knees, grabbing your skirt in desperation. "pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasePLEASE! i'm begging you, mistress! please fix this, i know you can! pleeeaaaaassseee! i'll do anything, i'll give you everything, just pleeeeaaasseee, mistress!! save me!"

Wow. His tone alone was enough to accept. It was incredibly pathetic and he was a total mess, something he no doubt got from sucking up to his short-tempered brother. You almost felt bad. Keyword: Almost.

"But of course, Master Red." You said, not-so-subtly hiding your smirk. "All you had to do was ask."

"oh my stars, you're horrible."

"Just to rude monsters that are horrible right back." Before he could even comment, you knelt down to his level, holding up a finger. "Okay, here's the thing. I know a guy that can help us."

Master Red's initially anger and fear was washed away in a single second, and was replaced with a look that made you feel like an angel from the heavens. "really?! oh, thank asgore! who is it?"

You exhaled, "Why, so you can drop the promises you made and go straight to him?"

"yes." Well, at least he was honest.

"My apologies, Master Red, but it's not going to be that easy. You see, the guy that I'm speaking of is human. And it's going to cost some serious money in return."

"a human?" Master Red had a look of disgust, something you found just a little bit offensive. "ugh."

"Well, can you think of any Monsters you know that specialize in cars?"

Master Red thought for a moment, before saying, "alphys?"

"Your Alphys will probably ask for four of your bones and me in return, not to mention she might turn Master Black's car into a transformer."

"tch. fine, we'll go with the human." Master Red rolled his eyelights. "how much will this cost, anyway?"

"Probably around $8,000."

"done."

Your felt the slightest bit of jealousy that he could say 'done' so easily to that amount. And by slightest bit, you were full on bitter about it. "Alright. If you give me the money, I'll take the car there to get the paint job done."

"oh no, i'm not letting you go by yourself with boss's car." Master Red hissed. "you could get it in an even worse condition, or you might try and take it for a joy ride."

"Well, do you expect to stroll into the Human City, bones and all?"

"you underestimate my talent in hiding." He winked. "how do you expect me to catch humans if i can't hide amongst them?"

That last part made you shiver, but you ignored him regardless. "Very well, Master Red. But I implore you to stay out of sight. I don't want to play peacemaker between a homicidal monster and an angry mob."

"easily done, but you're gonna have to drive then."

Drive? You've never driven before, you didn't even have a license. Cars weren't a luxury you've ever been able to have.

"Oh... Kay..."

"what's with that reaction?"

"You'll find out soon enough, Master Red."

---

"hahahahhahaha! slow down, you idiot! you're gonna kill us! ahahhahahaaa!" Despite his commands and your life-or-death driving techniques, Master Red was practically rolling on the floor with laughter as you sped down the bumpy road.

"Which one's the brake! Which one's the brake!!" You screamed, pushing a hundred different buttons a minute.

"ahahahaha! oh my stars! look, sweetheart, there's the city! you gotta slow down! pfftt! the pedal, kid! the pedal!!" Another eruption of laughter.

You're foot slammed down on one of the pedals on the floor. You went faster. "THAT'S NOT RIGHT!"

"hahahahaaa! the OTHER pedal!!"

You slammed your foot on the other pedal, and the car came to a screeching halt. You and Master Red were flung forward, earning another fit of laughter that never ceased to annoy you.

"Alright. Now what."

"ahahaheheheh... ahhh that was good, i needed that..."

"Now what." You repeated, more irritated.

"now push lightly on the pedal on the right."

You did. You were going a high speed of 6 miles per hour.

"okay, a little faster than that."

"I have been scarred for life, I am not going faster."

Master Red snickered again, "heheh, fair enough. so where is this human car-fixer, anyway?"

"Right down this street over here. I go there often, when Master Sans needs tools or things of the like."

"really?" Master Red leisurely leaned on your seat from his hiding spot in the back seat. "so you know her well, then?"

"Her?" You questioned. "He's a him, Master Red."

"wait, what."

"We're here." You pulled up to the garage of the tool shop. "How do I make it park?"

"okay hold up, go back. what did you mean when you said-"

You moved the funny stick to the P, and it worked. Looks like your knowledge through media was enough to help you out there. "Never mind. Remember, stay out of sight, Master Red."

"wait, don't-!"

But you already closed the car door.

You saw a familiar silhouette enter the garage. "Well, this is a surprise!" The rough looking owner, bellowed with laughter.

"Hello, again." You said, politely. "Apologies for the intrusion."

"Intrusion?" The rough man laughed again, "That's a laugh! But then, I never thought you'd come here with a car! What can I do for you?"

"This car needs to be repainted, do you think you could do it?"

"Of course! It's my job! One sec..." The rough man turned around and yelled into the direction behind him. "HEY, ADAM! THE MAID-GIRL IS HERE!"

You heard a thump, something drop, and then almost running steps. Before long, Adam appeared in the doorway with a bit of oil smeared on his cheek.

"O-oh! Hey, Ms. Maid!" Adam brushed his hair out of the way. "What, uhm, fancy seeing you here."

The rough man rolled his eyes, "Focus, Adam! She needs her car repainted, so I needed you to inspect the car while I discuss business the miss."

"S-sure thing!" Adam went straight to the car, putting all of his attention on it. You looked into the window to the backseat, worried, but was relieved when you found nothing.

"Alright, missy." The rough man smiled at you. "Why don't you step into the office and we can talk business?"

You nodded and followed him out of the garage. He took a seat at the desk and gestured for you to do the same.

"So, you need the car repainted? Can I throw any guesses at what for?"

You smiled at him.

"Right right, secrecy and all. But what do you need it repainted like?"

"The same color of black and with added flames would do just nicely."

The rough man blinked at you. "Riiiiggghht." He mumbled a few things under his breath about 'strange spy stuff', before he said. "But if we do this, the cost will roundabout somewhere around $6,500, and we need you to sign-"

"I'll give you $8,000 cash and in full right now if we don't involve paper work."

The rough man blinked at you again. "Done! Pleasure doing business with you, Ms. Maid! You said same color of black with added flames, right?"

You nodded, standing back up and pulling out the cash and handing it to him. "That's right. I need it done as soon as possible. How soon do you think I can get the car back?"

The rough man started counting the money quickly, before saying, "Mmmm, probably tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. But you don't have to worry, we'll make it a top priority!"

"Thank you, sir."

"No problem, Ms. Maid!" He stood up, and turned toward the direction of the garage. "HEY ADAM, YOU DONE YET?"

"ALMO-! OW!"

You tilted your head, curiously, before going back into the garage.

Adam was rubbing his head, while wrenches were scattered across the floor.

"Are you okay?" You said, hurrying to his side. You gentle place a hand on his arm, causing his skin to heat up.

"What, me? Y-yeah, no I'm good." Adam gave you a smile. "I just don't know how these wrenches keep falling on my head... Luckily I have a thick skull!"

Your eyes twitched. "Yeah, luckily." You stared at a glowing red wrench from behind him, before grabbing Adam and taking him out of the garage.

"Uhm, Ms. Maid?"

"Oh, sorry! I just didn't want you to get hurt."

"What, that? Nah, I'm tough! I get hit all the- OW!"

"Oh my goodness!" You gave him support as both of his hands went to his hand.

"How did a wrench even get over here!" Adam questioned.

You shook your head in annoyance and disbelief over the situation, "I don't know, but if WRENCHES keep FALLING on you, I'm sure those WRENCHES will NOT HAVE A GOOD TIME when I'm through with them."

You glared at the wrench behind him, daring it to attack again. Luckily, the wrench seemed to slowly lower itself.

When you looked back to Adam, he was staring at you. You realized your choice of words were completely ridiculous out of context.

"I mean-"

"You'd threaten a wrench just for me?"

Wait, what? Adam had stars in his eyes, and you couldn't help but be surprised over his admiration over your statement. "Uh, sure."

Adam's face heated a soft red. "Oh... wow..." He didn't seem to be the brightest guy out there, but at least he was sweet.

"Right... Well, it was a pleasure seeing you again, Adam."

Adam nodded, still bright red.

"I'll see you tomorrow, then."

He just nodded, and waved at you as you left the garage. Strange boy.

When you made it out, you quickly hurried over to a back alley. When you were alone and hidden well, Master Red appeared in front of you.

"geez, what was with that car-fixer guy?"

"Oh my goodness, you threw wrenches at Adam's head! What is wrong with you?!"

Master Red stretched leisurely, "eh, i didn't like him."

"You could've killed him!"

"That was the point, sweetheart. dang humans and their thick skulls... or maybe that was just him, he did seem a bit dense."

"Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm having this conversation with you right now." You face palmed. "If you try to kill another human, I'll tell Master Sans."

"He'd probably encourage it."

"Please don't say things that depress me, Master." You said, exasperated. "Can you take me home, now?"

"hmmm, i don't know." Master Red grinned. "i think i should make you walk."

"What? Why?"

"because this was all your fault in the first place."

"You're the one that tried to throw paint on me. And the one that made me paint the car. And the one that wanted to paint the car in the first place-"

"you're getting on my nerves."

"Alright, what do you wish for, Master?"

"hmmm..." Master Red pretended to think, "how about you grovel like you made me?"

"I'd rather walk." You said, beginning to make the trek back.

"ugh, stop being boring." He tugged on your collar and pulled you back to him. "alright, if you won't grovel, then how about the next best thing." He looked to the side, looking more nervous.

"And what's that, Master Red?"

"close your eyes for ten seconds, and don't open them under any circumstances."

You eyed him skeptically, "That... sounds ambiguously creepy."

"oh, stop being a baby, i promise i won't do anything 'unethical' perse."

"What does that even mean?"

"it means just do it before i lose my temper." He said, growing more irritated for reasons you couldn't tell.

What's the worse that could happen? "Very well, Master Red." You said and closed your eyes.

3

Nothing happened, save for you started to hear shaking.

5

6

Something cold and shaky pressed against your lips. You jumped, surprised, but you still didn't open your eyes.

7

8

Nothing more than the cold feeling of smoothness touched your lips, and then it left. You were surprised and almost touched by the sweet innocence of it, especially considering this was Master Red you were talking about.

9

10

"thanks, sweetheart."

You opened your eyes. You weren't in the alley way anymore, but your room. And Master Red was gone. You couldn't help the lingering comfort you had over the sweet gesture...

Until you realized that that was probably a romantic gesture. You knew Master Red was always into you physically, but romantically? There was nothing physical about that kiss, it had to be romantic.

Or maybe it was platonic, and it was just a common gesture for monsters? Similar to how some people will kiss both cheeks of a person as a greeting, maybe for monsters a gentle kiss on the lips is a sign of friendship or gratitude?

Oh, this was too confusing.

---

"okay, boss. it's finally done." Master Red excitedly tugged Master Black into the garage. You were secretly following them, knowing that you couldn't get Master Black's genuine reaction if you were there. He'd probably shrug it off like the tsundere he was if you were there.

"THIS BETTER BE GOOD, SANS. I WAITED LIKE TWO DAYS FOR THIS." Master Black grumbled. "AND WHEN I SAY GOOD, I MEAN LIKE 'CHANGE MY VERY EXISTENCE ASTRONOMICALLY' GOOD."

"it's pretty good." Master Red shrugged, before he put his hand on the door knob. "you ready?"

"SANS, I'VE BEEN READY FOR 48 HOURS-!!"

Master Red opened the door with a grin. Master Black on the other hand was star struck.

"well, boss?"

"M-M-MY CAR, IT'S-!" Master Black had a completely excitable and enthusiastic smile on his face you've only seen a few times when he thought he was alone before, "SO COOL!!"

Master Red beamed. "thought you might like it."

Master Black made a beeline for the car, "AND IT'S SO SHINY! LIKE IT'S NEW!"

"we got a professional to come in and fix it up perfectly for you." He lied. "only the best for my boss, after all."

"A PROFESSIONAL?? NO WONDER IT TOOK SO LONG!" Master Black hugged the car with earnest. "AAAAAAAAH... IT'S SO SMOOTH... I'M TAKING IT OUT FOR A RIDE RIGHT NOW! AND, FOR YOUR EFFORTS, I'LL ALLOW YOU TO COME ALONG."

Master Black allowing another person in his car? He must've been an a seriously good mood.

"BUT YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE TRUNK."

"fine with me, boss." Master Red's voice was laced with affection.

Well, at least those two were happy.
