It was open mic night at Grillby's. Mans shook out her arms and took several deep breaths. She'd only moved to Snowdin Town two weeks ago and she was determined to make a great first impression by doing what she did best, blowing them away with her killer vocals.
"Next up, we got our brand new resident singing for us, put your hands together for Mans Hedge !"
Stage fright wasn't usually a problem for her but this time was different. She took one last deep breath and approached the small stage (which was just a bunch of crates covered with a blanket).
The room went dark except for a spotlight on her. She began to sing, starting off shaky but quickly getting into it, belting out the words to "Fishy Love". Before she knew it, she was at the last line.
"Got a case of fishy loveeee ...."
As the final note faded out, it became more apparent how silent the room was. Her heart dropped, was she not good enough ? Was there something on her face ? Was it a banana slice ?
She dramatically raised her arms, embracing the tomatoes she was sure would be coming but instead heard ... applause ?
The crowd burst into joyous cheers, chanting her name and throwing flowers onto the stage. She did it, she had made the ultimate first impression.
An hour later, she found herself at the bar, asking Grillby for a mug of chocolate milk (because underage baby she -w-). She took a big sip but almost spit it out when she heard a deep voice behind her.
"So you're the new girl eh ?"
Mans whirled around to see the most attractive person she'd ever seen. A blue woman, a fish actually, with luscious red hair, tied up into a high ponytail. She was wearing a leather jacket (ooh leather kinky) and bleached jeans and one of her ears (fins ? [finLEY-]) was riddled with silver piercings. Mans finally focused on the stranger's face - she had a kind face, an eyepatch covering one eye while the other was a radiant yellow.
"You've been staring for a pretty long time there love."
Mans immediately snapped out of her trance as she tried to recall the question.
"Ah. Yeah. Yes ! Yeah yes, ah, I ... yeah." she choked out.
The woman stared at her for a while and then let out a low chuckle. "Mans right ? I'm Undyne, and I'd love to get to know you better," she practically purred, enunciating each word.
Mans began to panic, she thought the rest of the night would be chill after her big performance but now some hot fish woman was flirting with her ?
"Uh, yeah, yes me too ! I would love to too. Love to get to know you I mean. I mean I'd love to do anything with you really. But I don't mean that in a creepy way. Not that you're being creepy though, you're totally great."
She stopped herself from saying any more and just shot the woman a small thumbs up instead.
Mans was so busy scolding herself in her head that she didn't notice Undyne leaning against the counter, smiling at her as her eyes glimmered.
"Wanna get out of here ?" Undyne said softly, but in the sexiest possible way.
