Caesar's Palace Shipping Week Day 1: Mythical Creature AU

"I-I'm sorry, Undyne, I've been lying to you this whole time," Alphys whispered, her dragon tail flapping around. "I'm actually-"

Cut. Nope, still couldn't get it right. Did she even have to tell Undyne the truth? Undyne wouldn't like her anymore, that's for sure. And Alphys much preferred being the self others liked than her actual self.

One more try...

The dragon breathed in, and breathed out. "Undyne, I have to tell you something. I've been lying to you this entire time. I'm- I'm- I'm not a dragon. I'm just a pathetic unicorn," she whispered, starting to cry a bit.

"...Alphys?" Undyne said confusedly, the sea serpent coming out from behind a conveniently-shaped lamp-post.

Alphys began to freak out. Oh no oh no oh no oh no SOMEBODY HELP ME. "Uh, hi Undyne! I was just, you know, practicing my lying skills! I'm not-"

Suddenly, Undyne grabbed Alphys and noogied her really hard. And then hugged her. "Listen here, you nerd, I don't give a flower whether you're a dragon or a unicorn. I still love you all the same."

"I- Th-thanks, Undyne," Alphys said awkwardly blushing as she tried to return the hug and her dragon costume fell off. "I've, uh, got work to do now!" she said, making up an excuse on the spot. Maybe she could also just hide in the bathroom for a while?

Then, Undyne snatched her back. "Alphys, I've got something to tell you too," she said, her feet tapping anxiously, sort of kinda destroying the ground beneath her mini talons.

"I'mnotaseaserpent,I'mjustapatheticmermaid," Undyne rushed out quickly. "Anyway, wanna go out for some Nice Cream?" she offered, as if nothing had just happened before.

Alphys blushed until her cheeks caught on fire quite literally, nodded, and hugged her taller crush again.
