Heya guys! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I've been really busy with school and soccer and viola and such! It'll take a lot longer to update now that the break's over, but thank you all so much for sticking with me here. Before we get started, let me take a moment to thank a few people:
Dreams_a_Reality

For supporting this book and giving me the DETERMINATION to continue writing it. Also, some special thanks to Isabel_Sansy for giving me the idea for this chapter. She has some really great content on her page, so if you haven't already, you should check out her stuff! Also, really quickly, the preview I gave y'all on my tagging chapter was actually for another case that I was going to do, and of course I still am going to, but I can't quite yet, until I gather all the information and do some in-depth research, so it may be a while.
Reader: Cut to the crap, Snarkyy.
Me: FINE.
So anyway, here's my courthouse take on: Papyton V.S. FishBones. Brought to you by: Finally an Update

Jimothy drums his fingers on the huge wooden desk before him, eyes rolling as he waits for the audience to finally shut up. They eventually get the clue, and the noise dampens to a hush, then broken by the loud CRACK! of the gavel being slammed on the wooden circle. "ORDER IN THE COURT!" the judge shouts as the previous sound recedes. "Today, we shall cover the case of.... PAPYTON VERSUS FISHBONES!" Papyrus, Mettaton, and Undyne are seated at the top of the room. Papyrus looks excited and mildly confused, Mettaton looks like he knows exactly what's going down, and Undyne has a look of exasperation and uncomfortableness written all over her face.

A random voice rings out from the crowd. "Sir, if I may, it's Papydyne."

Jimothy simply glares and mutters, "FishBones," under his breath. "ANYWAY! OP, what evidence do you have to back your ship?"

"Well, sir," says the woman in the opposing desk. She has ginger hair pulled back in a tight bun, and wire-framed glasses are perched in her nose. "How do I explain? Papyton is perfect. Mettaton is so full of himself, and Papyrus thinks he's the best monster in the Underground. They have similar opinions of themselves, and it's just so cute to ship an innocent cinnamon roll with a robot that has the best of legs."

Jimothy glances at me. "And LSS, how do you combat this?"

"So you ship two monsters because of their self esteem levels? That's a wonderful idea. And, also, Papyrus, as you stated, is an innocent cinnamon roll, while Mettaton is probably the least innocent monster in the Underground. He literally laid atop Undyne's piano seductively feeding himself grapes. He doesn't care for anyone in the slightest, besides Blooky, because, of course, it's all for entertainment, darling. He'd murder you in a heartbeat if it'll get him good ratings. To combat this, Papyrus is so sweet and caring, the exact opposite. He was supposed to capture Frisk, but ended up being friends with her instead, while Mettaton tried to kill Frisk on multiple occasions without having any other drive than 'ratings'. They have no common interests, nothing to relate with, and their personalities don't counter each other well. Meanwhile, you have Papyrus and Undyne, who would fit perfectly together. They're not total opposites, as they have similar likes and dislikes. For example, they both love to fight, and they love to cook, however bad they may be at it. Yet they still have personality differences, but those differences are good differences. Papyrus' sweet and kindly manner completes Undyne's bada** one, and Papyrus is the calm to the fire that is Undyne's personality. So, I'll ask of you, which ship is perfect again?"

The redheaded lady nervously polishes her spectacles, stuttering slightly as she begins to speak, yet gaining confidence with each and every word. "W-well it's not canon! Undyne is with Alphys in the original! You can't just change canon!"

I roll my eyes. "Guess what else isn't canon? Papyton. And have you ever heard of a breakup? Guess what? They happen. Pretty dang often, I might add." (Please don't get mad or triggered, Alphdyne peeps, it's just not my personal preference, this book is entirely my opinion, dun kill me.)

OP clutched her shirt over her heart and made a gagging sound. "Alphdyne is sacred!"

"That's your only remaining argument? Great job, you've managed to make your crappy case even worse. 'Alphdyne is sacred!' Guess what? Couples break up. Some couples, I might add, that people ship unendingly, but whoop! there goes that relationship. Plus, Alphdyne wasn't based around much. They both like anime. So? Does that imply that they should lounge in the lagoons of love for eternity?"

Jimothy slams his hammer, silencing me. "Your point has been made, LSS, for the love of Asgore!" In the audience, Asgore blushed slightly at this, standing beside Toriel (by accident, of course). "FishBones wins the flipping case. Holy sushi."

Half of the crowd goes wild, while the other half sits in silent oblivion, hearts obviously shattering inside their chests. At the top of the courthouse, Mettaton scoots away from the other two with a sly, shipping smile on his face. Both Papyrus' and Undyne's faces are as red as the tomatoes they smash to create spaghetti sauce. In the audience, Alphys looks somewhat happy with this arrangement, as she and Undyne had actually broken up previously, quietly. Of course, they remained friends.

"Hey, uh, Papyrus, do ya wanna make some spaghetti?"

"ABSOLUTELY, UNDYNE. I'D BE DELIGHTED."

Again, for the thousandth time, I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while, but it'll have to kinda start being like this, with the break over and such. Thanks so much for staying with this story. See you next time oooonnnnnn: THE UNDERTALE COURTHOUSE.

CaptainSnarkyySnekk out!

Edit (2 years later): hey guys!! I apologize for this chapter, and I'll only keep it up because I enjoy keeping records of everything I've written in the past, no matter how.. ugh it is. I want to specify that I wrote this chapter at a point in my life where I accepted what my family taught me as gospel, and I was therefore incredibly homophobic. Alphdyne is an adorable ship and the main reason I hated it was because it was gay. I've also discovered I'm (most likely) aromantic and therefore have a greater respect for platonic relationships, and I think that Undyne and Papyrus's friendship is amazing just how it is. Keep whatever opinions you want, I just felt the need to specify.
