A Wacky Date

A Wacky Date is the 13th chapter of Yellowtale, and the fourth chapter of the Snowdin town arc.

### Plot

Yellow and Chuchu walked back through Snowdin until they saw Papyrus standing by the large wooden house. They approached him.

"Hi Papyrus." Yellow greeted the skeleton. "I'm here for that date."

Papyrus smiled. "WOWIE! YOU MUST BE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS… I'LL HAVE TO TAKE YOU SOMEPLACE REALLY SPECIAL… A PLACE I LIKE TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT! FOLLOW ME HUMAN!"

Papyrus led Yellow towards Grillby's, only to turn around and head back towards the house. They then stopped in front of the front door.

"MY HOUSE!" Papyrus exclaimed.

Yellow followed Papyrus inside.

It was a small house. It only had two floors.

"WELCOME TO SCENIC MY HOUSE!" Papyrus said. "ENJOY AND TAKE YOUR TIME!"

Yellow looked around.

Yellow picked up a book that was on a small table beside Papyrus. It was a joke book. Yellow opened it to find a Quantum Physics book. She opened that and found another joke book. You get the idea.

Yellow turned on the TV. Papyrus looked excited.

"OOH, IT'S MY FAVORITE GAME-SHOW!"

"STAY TUNED FOR A NEW PROGRAM-MTT" was written on the screen.

"WHAT! IT'S USUALLY BETTER THAN THIS!" Papyrus stated. "THIS IS JUST A BAD EPISODE! DON'T JUDGE ME!"

On another table was a rock sitting on a plate. It was covered in sprinkles.

"What's this?" Yellow asked Papyrus.

"THIS IS MY BROTHER'S PET ROCK!" He explained. "HE ALWAYS FORGETS TO FEED IT. AS USUAL, I HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY."

Yellow walked into the kitchen. The only out of the ordinary thing there was the very tall sink. Yellow looked at the cupboard under the sink.

"What's in here?" She asked.

"THERE'S A LOT OF BONES IN THERE! THAT'S WHY THE SINK IS SO TALL! SO I COULD FIT MORE BONES! TAKE A LOOK!"

Yellow opened the door. What she saw weren't bones.

"Uh Papyrus? The dog's back."

"WHAT?!" Papyrus exclaimed, which startled the dog, who ran out.

"CATCH THAT MEDDLING CANINE!"

But it was too late. The dog was already gone.

"CURSES!" Papyrus shouted.

Suddenly, a door from upstairs opened. Sans poked his head out and started playing a trombone.

"SANS!" Papyrus shouted. "STOP PLAGUING MY LIFE WITH INCIDENTAL MUSIC!"

Yellow and Chuchu giggled.

Next to the TV was a sock. On the wall above it was a bunch of sticky notes. Yellow read them.

"SANS! PICK UP YOUR SOCK!"

"ok."

"RIGHT NOW!"

"ok."

"BRING IT TO YOUR ROOM!"

"ok."

"AND DON'T BRING IT BACK!"

"ok."

"IT'S STILL HERE!"

"you told me not to bring it back to my room."

"SANS!"

"Oh my god, I'll pick it up if it's such a hassle."

"NO KIRLIA! SANS NEEDS TO STOP BEING SO LAZY! NOW PICK UP YOUR SOCK!"

"ok."

After Yellow was finished, she went upstairs and stopped at a door that led to Papyrus's room.

"Can I see what's in your room?" Yellow asked.

"OF COURSE!" Papyrus said.

Yellow entered the room.

There were a lot of interesting things in Papyrus's room. Yellow looked at a pirate flag on the wall. Papyrus took note of it.

"ISN'T IT NEATO? UNDYNE FOUND IT AT THE BAY...I THINK IT'S FROM THE HUMAN WORLD?"

Papyrus told Yellow his theory as to why the humans had flags with skeletons on it. He said that humans descended from skeletons. Clearly he doesn't know about human anatomy.

Yellow looked at a table filled with action figures.

"Wow, these look cool." Yellow told Papyrus.

"I KNOW!" Papyrus replied "THEY'RE A GREAT REFERENCE FOR THEORETICAL BATTLE SCENARIOS."

"How do you have so many?" Yellow asked.

"WELL…" Papyrus began. "LET'S JUST SAY THEY'RE FROM… A CHUBBY, SMILING MAN WHO LOVES TO SURPRISE PEOPLE."

"Sans?" Yellow thought aloud.

"NOPE! SANTA!" Papyrus corrected.

"Oh yeah, him too." Yellow laughed.

Yellow walked over to Papyrus's bed that looked like a racecar. Chuchu hopped on it and started to pretend she was driving. Yellow giggled at it.

"I SEE YOUR LITTLE FRIEND HAS TAKEN AN INTEREST IN MY BED!" Papyrus said. "IF I EVER GET TO THE SURFACE, I'D LIKE TO DRIVE DOWN A LONG HIGHWAY IN A REAL CAR, WITH THE WIND IN MY NON-EXISTENT HAIR, SUN ON MY BONES."

"You're going to need to learn how to drive first." Yellow said. "It's way different than pretending."

"OF COURSE IT'S JUST A DREAM." Papyrus stated. "SO INSTEAD, I CRUISE WHILE I SNOOZE."

Yellow looked at Papyrus's computer, while Papyrus told Yellow about the underground's internet, how he's just a dozen followers away from having double digit followers, and that he was being trolled by someone who keeps sending him bad puns in a goofy font. Yellow chuckled, as she knew who it was.

Yellow then looked at a box full of bones. Apparently those were the attacks that Papyrus used on her.

"SO, UM, IF YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING…" Papyrus said. "DO YOU WANT TO START THE DATE?"

"Sure." Yellow replied. "Let's get started!"

"OKAY! DATING START!" Papyrus exclaimed.

Yellow then entered a different type of fight.

"HERE WE ARE! ON OUR DATE!" Papyrus said.

Yellow was a little nervous, since this was her first date, but she tried not to show it. Thankfully, Papyrus had never actually been on a date either.

Papyrus pulled out a book.

"I SNAGGED THE OFFICIAL DATING RULEBOOK FROM THE LIBRARY!" Papyrus explained. "WE'RE READY TO HAVE A GREAT TIME!"

Papyrus looked through the book. "LET'S SEE…STEP ONE...ASK THE OTHER PERSON ON A DATE."

Papyrus cleared his throat. "AHEM! HUMAN! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL GO ON A DATE WITH YOU!"

"Sounds good!" Yellow replied.

"WOWIE! I GUESS IT'S TIME FOR PART TWO! STEP TWO, PUT ON NICE CLOTHES TO SHOW THAT YOU CARE!"

Papyrus seemed confused.

"WAIT A SECOND! YOU'RE WEARING CLOTHING! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT EARLIER TODAY, YOU WERE ALSO WEARING CLOTHING!" Papyrus blushed somehow. "NO… COULD IT BE? YOU'VE WANTED TO DATE ME FROM THE VERY BEGINNING?!"

Yellow chuckled. "I always wear clothes, Papyrus. However, I think that dating you will be an interesting experience."

Papyrus looked shocked. "NO!"

"Uh Papyrus? Are you ok?" Yellow asked.

"YOU PLANNED IT ALL!" Papyrus replied. "YOU'RE WAY BETTER THAN DATING THAN I AM! N-NOOOO! YOUR DATING POWER!"

Papyrus recovered a minute later.

"NYEH HEH HEH! DON'T THINK YOU'VE BESTED ME YET! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE NEVER BEEN BEATEN AT DATING! AND I NEVER WILL! I CAN EASILY KEEP UP WITH YOU! YOU SEE, I, TOO, CAN WEAR CLOTHING! IN FACT, I ALWAYS WEAR MY SPECIAL CLOTHES UNDER MY REGULAR CLOTHES! JUST IN CASE SOMEBODY HAPPENS TO ASK ME ON A DATE! BEHOLD!"

Papyrus took off his armor to reveal he was wearing a sporty outfit, with basketball shoulder pads, and a t-shirt that said COOL DUDE.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY SECRET STYLE?!" Papyrus asked.

"It looks awesome!" Yellow replied.

Papyrus went in to shock again. "NO! A GENUINE COMPLIMENT! HOWEVER… YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HIDDEN POWER OF THIS OUTFIT! THEREFORE...WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS INVALID! THIS DATE WON'T ESCALATE ANY FURTHER...UNLESS YOU FIND MY SECRET! BUT THAT WON'T HAPPEN!"

Yellow pointed to Papyrus's hat. "There's something under your hat!"

Papyrus took off his hat, revealing a present.

"YOU FOUND MY SECRET!" He exclaimed. "I SUPPOSE I HAVE NO CHOICE! IT'S A PRESENT! A PRESENT JUST FOR YOU!"

He handed it to Yellow who opened it. It was a plate of spaghetti.

"THIS ISN'T ANY ORDINARY SPAGHETTI!" Papyrus explained. "THIS IS AN ARTISAN'S WORK, COOKED BY ME, MASTER CHEF PAPYRUS! HUMAN! IT'S TIME TO END THIS! THERE'S NO WAY THIS CAN GO ANY FURTHER!"

"Alright, ready?" Yellow asked Chuchu, who was now beside her. Chuchu nodded. "Ok! Down the hatch!"

Yellow and Chuchu took a bite. Their faces scrunched up. They tried not to barf.

Yellow gave Papyrus a fake smile. "I-It's good."

"WHAT A PASSIONATE EXPRESSION!" He said. "YOU MUST REALLY LOVE MY COOKING! AND BY EXTENTION, ME! MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN I DO!"

Papyrus went into complete shock once again, greater this time. He let out screams of internal agony or something.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"Uh, you alright Papyrus?" Yellow asked.

Papyrus eventually calmed down and spoke.

"HUMAN… IT'S CLEAR NOW. YOU ARE MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME."

Yellow became embarrassed while Chuchu rolled on the floor laughing as Papyrus continued.

"EVERYTHING YOU DO… EVERYTHING YOU SAY… HAS ALL BEEN… FOR MY SAKE."

"N-No, it's not like that!" Yellow tried to say, but Papyrus kept talking.

"HUMAN. I WANT TO BE HAPPY WITH YOU TOO. IT'S TIME FOR ME TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS. IT'S TIME THAT I TOLD YOU… I… PAPYRUS. I… UM… BOY, IS IT HOT IN HERE, OR IS IT JUST ME? OH, SHOOT. HUMAN, I… I'M SORRY. I DON'T LIKE YOU THE WAY YOU LIKE ME. ROMANTICALLY, I MEAN. I MEAN, I TRIED VERY HARD TO! I THOUGHT THAT BECAUSE YOU FLIRTED WITH ME… THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU. THEN, ON THE DATE, FEELINGS WOULD BLOSSOM FORTH! I WOULD BE ABLE TO MATCH YOUR PASSION FOR ME! BUT ALAS… I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS… HAVE FAILED. I FEEL JUST THE SAME AS BEFORE. AND INSTEAD, BY DATING YOU… I HAVE ONLY DRAWN YOU DEEPER… INTO YOUR INTENSE LOVE FOR ME! A DARK PRISON OF PASSION WITH NO ESCAPE. HOW COULD I HAVE DONE THIS TO MY DEAR FRIEND…? ...NO! WAIT! THAT'S WRONG! I CAN'T FAIL AT ANYTHING! HUMAN! I'LL HELP YOU THROUGH THESE TRYING TIMES! I'LL KEEP BEING YOUR COOL FRIEND… AND ACT LIKE THIS ALL NEVER HAPPENED. AFTER ALL, YOU ARE VERY GREAT. IT WOULD BE TRAGIC TO LOSE YOUR FRIENDSHIP." SO PLEASE…DON'T CRY BECAUSE I WON'T KISS YOU. BECAUSE, I DON'T EVEN HAVE LIPS. AND HEY, SOMEDAY, YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME. WELL, NO. THAT'S NOT TRUE. BUT I'LL HELP YOU SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST! NYEH HEH HEH HEH!"

"Thanks Papyrus." Yellow said. "You're very great too. I'd like to continue being your friend, too."

Papyrus suddenly remembered something. "OH, AND IF YOU EVER NEED TO REACH ME… HERE'S MY NUMBER! YOU CAN CALL ME ANY TIME! PLATONICALLY. WELL, GOTTA GO! NYEH HEH HEH!"

With that, Yellow left the house.
