Chapter 8: Stirring Up Memories
Duska
I watch as Undyne smashes my cooking pot, throwing the remains of speghetti pieces into every direction possible. The remains of the cooking pot lands across the floor, burnt pieces stick to bits of speghetti.
"Undyne... seriously!?!"
"It needed stirring!"
"You destroyed my only cooking pot."
"DOES THAT MEAN NO SPEGHETTI?"
"Not unless there's a shop around here somewhere that sells cooking pots at one in the morning."
"Is there!?!"
"No."
"Don't raise my hopes like that!"
"It's your own fault Undyne."
The two look sad as their cooking sesion is now over, Sans and I are extremely relieved though. The two have been trashing my kitchen from almost the minute Undyne arrived... which was at six in the afternoon.
"So... you got anything else to do?"
"Not really, my DVD player broke so we can't even watch a movie."
"how about you sing again?"
I look down at the smirking skeleton beside me but now Papyrus is clapping exitedly while Undyne looks at me with an expression of judgment.
"How good are you really? Papyrus likes it but i've never heard it."
"PLEASE? I ENJOY THE HUMANS SINGING!"
"Fine, just don't blame me if I get a note wrong. I'm still getting used to the eye patch."
My eye has been covered for a week now, the surgery was apparently a success but I can't see it yet. I run into walls and steps a lot so now Sans technically follows me around to make sure i'm not too badly hurt, apparently he has a lot of breaks. A bass drum sits beside my keyboard to put a beat in some of my songs, now what to play?
"What sort of song do you want?"
"A violent one!"
Undyne jumps in enthusiasm as she yells her suggestion. I shake my head but I start searching through my lyric book for an appropriate song for her. The only violent song i've got isn't even halfway completed!
"Sorry Undyne, I haven't written one yet."
"how about your favourite."
"My favourite?"
"YES! I WISH TO KNOW YOUR FAVOURITE SONG!"
"Uh... alright then. I need to use a music player for the guitar and other instruments though."
"It's fine! Just play it!"
"Okay then. You win, i'll play."
I look down at the keyboard as I make sure my fingers are in the proper position, then I nod to Sans to press play on the music player.
"He stumbled into faith and thought:
God, this is all there is.
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breathe.
And all the gods and all the worlds began colliding on a backdrop of blue."
"Blue lips,
Blue veins."
"He took a step but then felt tired.
He said: I'll rest a little while.
But when he tried to walk again
He wasn't a child."
"And all the people hurried fast,
Real fast,
And no one ever smiled."
"Blue lips,
Blue veins,
Blue, the color of our planet from far far away.
Blue lips,
Blue veins,
Blue, the color of our planet from far far away."
"He stumbled into faith and thought:
God, this is all there is.
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breathe.
And no one saw
And no one heard,
They just followed the lead.
The pictures in his mind arose
And began to breed."
"They stumbled beneath the knowledge tree
And chopped it down to make a picket fence
And marching along the railroad tracks
They smiled real wide for the camera lenses
As they made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines."
"Blue lips,
Blue veins,
Blue, the color of our planet from far far away.
Blue lips,
Blue veins,
Blue, the color of our planet from far far away.
Blue,
The most human color.
Blue,
The most human color.
Blue,
The most human color.
Blue lips.
Blue veins.
Blue, the color of our planet from far far away."
As I stop I look towards the three, Undyne is staring at me with awed disbelief, Papyrus is clapping happily and Sans is... crying?
"Sans?"
"heh... nice song kid."
Tears were visibly falling from his eyesockets and my voice directs Undyne's and Papyrus' attention to the small skeleton. His tears have a tint of blue in them.
"BROTHER?"
"i'm fine papyrus. just... reminds me of something."
"THE NIGHTMARES?"
"don't... talk about those."
"Sorry if I triggered something Sans."
"not your fault kid. i loved your singing."
We sit quietly around the loungeroom, awkwardness hanging over our heads. Undyne suddenly punches Papyrus 'playfully' and he retaliates with a flurry of bone magic. After watching them too fight for ten minutes or so they return to Sans and I who are sitting lazily on the couch, Sans had quickly recovered from whatever my song had brought up.
"Alright then. Now that that awkwardness is over..."
Undyne brings over her over night bag and pulls out packets of candy, popcorn and ketchup bottles.
"Food makes sleepovers much more fun!"
"i bags the ketchup."
"Candies mine!"
"I HAD WANTED THE CANDY!"
"I'll share with you."
"YES! UNDYNE SHOULD COME OVER MORE!"
"Only if she brings her own cooking utensils... and if she cleans up the mess."
"without burning the apartment down."
"Yeah yeah. I will. Now shut up and eat the food!"
As dawn comes up from over the horizon Undyne begins making fun of my eye patch. My boring white patch doesn't even get a three out of ten on Papyrus' coolness meter.
"Told you! Mine gets a ten out of ten!"
"ELEVEN OUT OF TEN!"
"See? I win!"
"I said that I agree with you Undyne!"
"I know but mines still cooler."
We've been arguing about this for hours now, Sans was lucky enough to get to sleep before it started escalating.
"Well how about Papyrus calls Mettaton and give me a new, stylish eyepatch! Or maybe a complete makeover just to make it better!"
"I WILL CALL HIM NOW!"
I'm so stunned by his response that i'm unable to stop him as he runs from the room. I look at Undyne who's trying her hardest not to laugh at my horrible attempt at sarcasm.
"Don't."
She bursts out into laughter which frightens Sans awake, his left eye and hand are glowing while several bones hover around the room. Undyne calms down enough to offer Sans a hand up from his position on the floor.
"Calm down Sans. Your so jumpy."
"heh... yeah..."
The bones disappear along with the blue glow around him, was it the song I sang that's made him so jumpy? He accepts the hand which almost throws him to his feet, Undyne is incredibly strong.
"METTATON IS COMING! HE SAYS TO PUT ON A DRESS."
"A dress!?! I don't own any!"
"HE'LL GIVE YOU ONE!"
"uh... why is mettaton coming?"
"Duska said that she wanted Mettaton to do a full makeover!"
"It was a bad attempt at sarcasim..."
Sans laughs at my mumblings but is interupted as the door bursts open and several trolleys of make-up, clothing racks and pedicure equipment. The people who carted in all the equipment left as soon as Mettaton walked into the room.
"Oh honey, I said to put on a dress!"
"I was kidding about the makeover Mettaton. It's fine, really! How'd you arrive so quickly!?!"
"Doesn't matter hun! Hmm... could you remove the eye patch?"
"I can't, it's to help heal my eye."
"Oh yes, I had forgotten all about it! Well i'll just put a cover over it. Now, to your wardrobe!"
He begins pulling me towards my room by the arm but quickly stops and turns to face the other three, Undyne and Sans were clearly holding in their laughter.
"Could you three darlings leave please? We need complete silence for this!"
"sure mettaton, we'll be back tonight. if anyone needs me, i'll be at grillbyz."
The three leave me there, alone, with Mettaton. Sans had given me a sympathetic wink as he left but it nothing in the way of comfort.
"Come! We must see what type of clothing you own!"
He entwines my right arm with his left as he pulls me through my bedroom door then throwing open my wardrobe doors.
"Wow honey, so plain! Aren't you lucky I have extras! I think dark colors suit you... Oh and we must straighten that unruly hair of yours!"
What have I done to deserve this torture?
