If I ruled the world I would think up inventions I'd throw out the rules Disregard all convention I'd make the world happy and peaceful and bright And all of us would sleep Much better at night
First thing I'd demand would be a car alarm Easy to install, but hard to disarm It would be silent on streets and parking lots instead It would only go off In the car owner's bed
(Really, nobody else needs to be woken up just because somebody's walking a teensy bit too close to your car...)
I'd like a fast-forward button For those boring times When spending hours with knuckleheads Drives you out of your mind You'd simply point it and zap them Zip right to the end Of their dull observations And their leaving, but then
I'd like a slow-motion button To make good times last And to slow down some boyfriends Who still go too fast Kisses would be sweeter Hugs more healing Would come in handy when making gravy Keep those lumps from congealing
PERIDOT
Alphys and Peridot have a lot in common- a love of engineering, a certain objective way of looking at the world, and obsessing over tv shows. So much shipping. Peridot has put a lot of stock in Alphys, and she wants to prove that she's worth it, because she wants to be worth it for her. She's also offered to re-build Peridot's limb enhancers as best she can, to help Peridot be less nervous in Wonderland.
Alphys feels, in a sense, that they're really only scratching the surface of how close they could be- but in a way, she's afraid of pushing it too far, and she's nervous Peridot will expose her as an idiot somewhere down the line. But for now, she really wants to help, and enjoys Peridot's company, whether it's for science or shipping.
peridot.

If I ruled the world
I would think up inventions
I'd throw out the rules
Disregard all convention
I'd make the world happy and peaceful and bright
And all of us would sleep
Much better at night
First thing I'd demand would be a car alarm
Easy to install, but hard to disarm
It would be silent on streets and parking lots instead
It would only go off
In the car owner's bed
(Really, nobody else needs to be woken up just because somebody's walking a teensy bit too close to your car...)
I'd like a fast-forward button
For those boring times
When spending hours with knuckleheads
Drives you out of your mind
You'd simply point it and zap them
Zip right to the end
Of their dull observations
And their leaving, but then
I'd like a slow-motion button
To make good times last
And to slow down some boyfriends
Who still go too fast
Kisses would be sweeter
Hugs more healing
Would come in handy when making gravy
Keep those lumps from congealing
