"It's not easy to change the world. Instead, we created a whole new planet." – Min-soo, Two Weddings and a Funeral

“I now declare you partners.”

Nervous, you wait for Alphys and Undyne to kiss first, leaning down to match Sans’s height next. Cheers sound across the chapel, a few whistles and hoots hyping up the crowd.

You stand hand-in-hand with him, the white of your (dress/suit) closely matching with his own wedding attire. His hand feels cold to the touch, though it changes when you meet with his irises and smile.

Again, you wait for the two to step down the podium first, keeping your hold on Sans’s hand when it’s your turn to leave. People huddle around, most of them congratulating you while others hand you notes and envelopes -- these you try to turn back, only to have them insist it was necessary despite this not being a ‘real’ wedding per se. Your new spouse already has Faust hiked up in his arms by the time you manage to track him down again, helping him stray away from the growing havoc surrounding you. 

Bit by bit, people’s well-wishes reach their end and things begin to settle down, allowing you to strike up conversation with the two brides while Sans and Faust head over to Papyrus and Solana, both who’re waiting for them two, excitement made clear in their gazes.

While the place you’re in isn’t an official chapel, it tries its best to look like one, that sheer observation making it feel odd when you see there’s tables around with drinks and snacks, along with a band playing their own tunes instead of a single person playing piano, as most chapels often did. Weren’t these two differences present, you would mistake it with a real one.

You stop gazing around to focus on finding conversation, facing the brides.

“Should I really ask him today?” you question, swiping a cup of punch from a passing tray, lips meeting the brim of the liquid to take a sip. “Wouldn’t it just make him feel uncomfortable?”

The fish woman’s the first to react, chuckling as she takes a glass of water for herself and brings it all down with one gulp, how warm the weather was turning affecting her endurance. While she didn’t like the cold, the growing heat didn’t help her, either.

“With how dorky he looks right now, I doubt it,” Undyne comments, laughing. “Can’t you see he’s just about glowing? This is your chance to take him and Faust there -- Keep the old guy updated, and make him get over his fear of saying goodbye.” She takes another glass, drinking it down as fast as the first one. “Let me know if you’re going,” she adds, fanning herself with the emptied tray. “As much as I love this dress, I gotta get out of it. The fabric’s suffocating me!”

You focus on her dress at the mention of it: mermaid cut, closely tailoured to accentuate her figure, sleeveless to show off her muscle, and wine-coloured to match with her hair. Alphys’s dress is much more classic, resorting to a simpler cut and a lighter colour: grey to contrast with the yellow tone of her skin. It was safe to say Sans and you were the ones to dress the simplest, ‘fitting’ -- as your robot friend called it -- despite you being a human and Sans being a monster. 

Where Mettaton saw normal in that view was beyond you, and it didn’t help the cause in trying to blend in with Faust being your son, him being adopted causing for his appearance to barely match up with yours. Despite that, however -- you don’t regret it. You were happy, and your new family was, too.

“Y- You really should go today,” Alphys chimes in, pulling you away from those thoughts. “It’s probably not in any way scientific -- o- or reasonable, even -- but I bet he’d be happy to know you guys got married.”
