I have officially decided that Mad Dummy deserves more fanfics, which is why I can't help but write more with him! :D

A comic version of this story has also been made by me: fav . me / da73emp (without spaces)

"Mad...?"

Having been taking a nap, Mad Dummy's eyes shot open when he heard the faint voice. "What!? What do you—" He cut himself off when seeing Napstablook back up. "Oh, it's you...sorry," he lowered his voice, feeling a bit guilty.

"That's okay...I probably should've just waited for you to wake up..." Napstablook mumbled, looking down.

Mad Dummy awkwardly shook his head. "Did you need something?"

"Oh...I was just wondering if you wanted to go somewhere. Y'know...since we haven't done anything together in a really long time..." Napstablook shrugged, looking back up. "You don't have to if you don't want to...you can continue sleeping if you want..."

"No! I was thinking about waking up soon anyway," Mad Dummy partially lied, but he didn't want to pass up an opportunity to spend time with his cousin. After all, it was the least he could do after practically abandoning his own family.

Napstablook smiled. "Okay."

"So, where were you thinking about going?"

"Well...I kinda wanted to see the new bakery that just opened a few days ago. If that's okay?" Napstablook softly suggested.

Mad Dummy smirked—the closest he ever got to smiling. "Sure. I think it'd be good for me to get out and around, anyway." He usually spent all day standing in Undyne's yard admiring his knife, occasionally hopping out as far as around the block or so. There just weren't many places that caught his interest, and like Napstablook, he wasn't much of a people person.

Napstablook seemed to be very happy, though, which made Mad Dummy feel happy in return. The two cousins eagerly made their way into town, making small talk.

"How's your music mixing coming along?"

"It's coming along great. I like sharing my music with people..." Napstablook nodded. "People really enjoy it at Mettaton's performances, too..."

"That's great, Napstablook. I'm glad you're still doing what you love." Mad Dummy continued hopping forward.

"So…what about you? I heard that your dream was to sit in the window of a fancy store..." Napstablook frowned a little. "Is that still true...?"

Mad Dummy groaned, throwing his nonexistent hands in the air. "Oh for the love of—that was a JOKE! Why does everyone keep taking that seriously!?"

"Oh..." Napstablook giggled.

"It was supposed to be a sarcastic statement!" Mad Dummy fumed, "As you can see, I'm not fit to be put in any store, period! All these rips, tears, stitches..."

"That's good..." Napstablook softly stated, and Mad Dummy turned his way in curiosity. "I mean—I just...wouldn't want you to be gone forever..."

"Napstablook..." Mad Dummy shook his head, "That's the reason I thought that 'dream' would be stupid! Just sitting in a dumb window all day...who the heck would dream about that?" He chuckled. "I would never leave you guys. Especially now that I've learned my lesson...trust me."

Napstablook smiled as they nearly approached the bakery—specifically named Miss Muffet's Bakery. "I'm gonna get a donut..." Napstablook said once they headed inside. "What do you want?"

"Hm?" Mad Dummy looked over at a nearby sign that listed various pastries. "You go on ahead—I'm still thinking."

"Okay." Napstablook headed up to the counter where Muffet stood.

"Ahuhuhu~ Welcome to Miss Muffet's Bakery! What would you like, dearie?" Muffet folded her hands together.

"Oh...just a donut, please..." Napstablook smiled shyly.

"Of course! That'll be 50 G."

Napstablook pulled out a small wallet from seemingly out of nowhere, immediately frowning when he peered inside. "Oh..." He pulled out a few coins and set them on the counter hopefully. However, he only had barely less than 30 coins. He hadn't brought much since he thought the donut would be much cheaper than that. After all, he remembered that the donuts back in the Ruins being only 7 gold...

"Ahuhuhu~ Sorry, dearie...that's not enough gold," Muffet giggled, shaking her head.

"I…I'm sorry..." Napstablook felt mighty embarrassed as he put the coins back in his wallet.

Noticing that things seemed to be taking a while, Mad Dummy raised a brow as he glanced at the counter. "Is something wrong?" He asked, hopping up to his cousin.

"Oh...I…I just don't have enough money..." Napstablook explained solemnly, slowly floating away from the counter.

Mad Dummy narrowed his eyes at Muffet before looking his way. "Hold on—how much money did you have?"

"Only 27 gold...the rest of my money I left at home because I…didn't know the donut would be more..."

Mad Dummy started growling, turning his head to look back at the sign. His eyes nearly popped out as his control over his rage immediately vanished. "50 GOLD!? Are you KIDDING me!?" He barked. "WELL IT'S NO WONDER WE'RE THE ONLY ONES HERE!" He yanked the sign off the stand and hurled it at the counter. Muffet dove down to avoid it, popping back up and glaring at him. "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! A RIPOFF!"

"We spiders need to making a living, y'know!" Muffet hissed.

"IT'S A FREAKING DONUT!" Mad Dummy roared, flailing around.

Muffet crossed her arms. "Mettaton didn't seem to have a problem with it."

"THE GUY IS FILTHY STINKIN' RICH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"

"M-Mad…we could just...go somewhere else..." Napstablook quietly proposed, not wanting things to get out of hand.

Mad Dummy slammed his head against the counter since he had no hands to do so. "MY OTHER COUSIN WANTS A DONUT, AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S GETTING!"

Muffet fought the urge to wring his nonexistent neck. "I'll have you know that this is incredibly generous, considering the spiders in the Ruins no longer have to worry about enduring such horrible weather! You should be grateful!"

"OH, GRATEFUL MY—"

WHAM!

"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU STINGY PEOPLE!?" Muffet had fiercely snatched the sign and launched it at Mad Dummy's head, ranting obscurely as he promptly passed out.

Napstablook silently cowered back, wondering if all this was worth a simple donut. His eyes reluctantly darted from his unconscious cousin to the angry spider.

Muffet suddenly covered her mouth in shock, as if she wasn't expecting the dummy to get injured that badly. "Oh...oh my..." She bit her lip, rocking back and forth for a moment. "Um..." She quickly pulled out a plate full of donuts. "Here, dearie! Take as many as you'd like!" She told Napstablook. "Just...don't tell anyone about this, okay? Ahuhuhu~" She chuckled nervously.

Because Napstablook was worried Muffet might attack him as well, he hastily took 2 donuts and hurried back to the comatose Mad Dummy. "Oh..." He cringed, wondering how he was going to drag his cousin home.

Muffet seemed to acknowledge the ghost's dilemma and reluctantly pulled out a delivery cart from behind her, wheeling it over. "Eh...this may help, dearie. Just bring it back once you're finished, okay?" She forced a smile, although she felt a bit guilty for letting her anger get the best of her.

"Okay..." Napstablook awkwardly lugged Mad Dummy onto the cart and pulled it out the door.

"Come again sometime!" Muffet tried to sound enthusiastic, but her voice trailed off. "...Maybe..."

Napstablook silently nodded as he left, not wanting to be rude. Still, he knew he wasn't planning on hurrying back anytime soon.
