| ALPHYS |
| The Royal Scientist of the Underground. Tries very, very hard to give everyone a second chance, except for herself. Loves easily, fully, and often to her detriment. Continues to be wildly afraid of her own potential. Alphys has done her best in her time in Entranceway to make friends with those who share her interests, and be honest about herself and her motivations. After figuring out about SAVEs and RESETS, she considers herself lucky to come from a 'good' timeline and has tried to spread that hope to those who aren't. She is working hard to move on from her past and to feel that she's earned everyone's forgiveness, though she slips and falls back into old habits quickly. Luckily, she has a stable group of friends and supporters to back her up when the going gets tough. Even though she easily fell into keeping many others' secrets, she's been doing a fairly good job at not creating, and perpetuating, her own. Still, she worries about her future, and her ability to keep the friends and relationships she's acquired. With more than a year in Wonderland now under her belt, and her darkest memories dragged out for the Mansion to see, she's experienced an outpouring of love- and perhaps, can finally start to put her past behind her. With this comes new resolutions, new hope, and a strengthened resolve to keep her friends close and be the kind of person she admires- the kind that can support them when they need it. |

Why can you read me like no one else?
I hide behind these words
But I'm coming out
I wish I kept them behind my tongue
I hide behind these words
But I'm coming out
Put your hand between
An aching head and an aching world
We'll make them so jealous
We'll make them hate us
An aching head and an aching world
We'll make them so jealous
We'll make them so jealous
All the ways you make my stomach turn
And all the long drives
With my friends blur
And I wish I kept them inside my mind
I hide behind these words
And think of all the places
Where you've been lost
And then found...out
really really hoteasy on the eyes and seems to enjoy talking to her and hearing about her theories.Despite Mettaton's (failed) bid to get them to date, Alphys is incredibly happy that Ford has heard of the worst parts of her, been in danger in her presence, and still chose to stay. She's not sure she can ever explain how much it means to her, but it's the world to her that he'd continue to stand by her side, even, and especially, through her mistakes.

If only you, you could see
The darkest place that you could be
Oh maybe then you'd understand
From desert heat to cobbled streets
From broken home to the city beat
There's so much more than you could know
So take me back, when I believed
Back when I was unafraid
Just like a thief
And all the heights
That I could reach
Back when I was unafraid
Just like a thief
If I could live a thousand times
If I could make a thousand tries
Maybe then I'd get it right
The more I see, the more I know
That everyone just wants a show
No we don't want to see the truth
On the other hand... Fiddleford is definitely hiding something, but it doesn't bother her- he doesn't press her for questions, and nor does she him, so they can exist in their comfortable distance. For now, it is no problem, but in the future, she may have wished she did something more when she had the chance...

Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from 1 to 10 and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time
Way up in the air, you're finally free
And you can stay up there right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight
She would consider them good friends, even though she's a little gun-shy to talk to them again with fear that they will wise up and leave her, but in the meantime, she's also trying to find something to give to them to repay what they've given to her. Probably in the form of a new anime rec. Let it never be said she isn't trying, okay.

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
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.

In the meantime, though, she can't help but think of him whenever she looks at Mew Mew, and tries to check in on him and see if he's okay. She's also interested in seeing more of his magic, and trying to display more of her own- in the interest of making each other feel comfortable with their respective magic abilities.

We're too young to know what love is, our loss
Cynical eyes scanning the room for meaning
Maybe youth is wasted on the young, our loss
Travel in packs, drinking our teenage spirit
Maybe we're all clean cut criminals
Running fast to blur the visuals
And I'm not sure I've got the heart for this
Maybe that's the hardest part of it
If we're brave enough we won't save it up for later
Come on show me what, come on show me what you made of
I'll start the engine up, come on show me what you're made of
We're not damaged goods, maybe we're just lonely people
Now I feel like we're total strangers, so what?
Monopoly minds, following blind to danger
This feels like a race against the clock, tick tock
All of our tears are rubbing of silver metals
Do we have the time to justify
All these sins we try to glorify
And I'm not sure I've got the heart for this
Maybe that's the hardest part of it
We're not damaged goods, maybe we're just lonely people

She wants to find a way to make it up to him, somehow, and prove his belief in her skills isn't unfounded.

An act of kindness
Is what you show to me
Not more than I can take
Oh, not more than I can take
Kindness is what you show to me
It holds me 'till I ache
Overflow and start to break
Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down
Oh I, kind of hoping this will turn me round
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
An act of kindness
Is what you show to me
It caught me by surprise in this town of glass and ice
Kindness, so many people pass me by
But you warm me to my core and you left me wanting more
Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down
Oh I, kind of hoping this will turn me round
Oh I, got a feeling that however slow
Oh I, kind of hoping this will reach my soul
Despite hearing a lot of his troubles, she still feels like she doesn't know him in the same way she knows others- through the things they love. She wants to know this, to make him feel better, and to connect to him as a person, not just as a project.

Its not the end of the world
In fact its not even the end of the summer
But thank god the tv is on
Cuz theres no way we could know
Anything that’s goin down
Or how were supposed to be feeling about it
I cant tell you how much I wish we could shut up and smile, yeah
Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
all we needs a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe I’m a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug
Take a good look around
Does life really suck
Are we just complaining
I hope that this mic is on (testing 1, 2)
Cuz im on a roll here
I hope this is making some sense
I hope that you’ll throw up your hands and sing it
And tell all the haters that they should just shut up and smile, yeah
Even though they haven't talked much, Alphys wants to discuss more of her work with him- and compare more theories on science and magic (if he'd just be more willing to discuss magic's part in science period). But it's a small caveat- and Fitz can still be counted on for some casual scientific talk when she needs to get her mind away from a problem.

I was born in the middle of the night
When I went and did the wrong thing right
Stood and watched like a spider on the wall
Doing nothing made my whole world fall
While you’re sleeping in the comfort of your bed
I’ll be swinging through the city’s hot breath
Like I’m running on an endless track
But nothing that I do will ever bring him back
Web Slinger, Hope Bringer
They call me by my name
They say I’m a sometimes hero, sometimes zero
A menace on most days
But it’s all the same, this weight, the guilt,
I can’t shake
I was woken in the middle of the night
Like a firework burning in the bite
Power coursing through the river of my veins
That moment on I knew that nothing was the same
Peter has asked Alphys for help training before, and she does want to help, but is still drowning a bit in hero worship. But anything she could do to help a real hero is the closest she figures she'll ever get to being one of her own, so... might as well do what she can, even if she probably will never get over herself if she accidentally injures him in any way.

We were alone on the road driving faster
So far from home we were chasing disaster
Hard on the gas 'till the car caught on fire
We had to laugh as the smoked billowed higher
I wanna feel alive forever after
And you say, you say you wanna feel alive forever after
And I, and I, and I say
Follow the light through the dreams and disasters
Follow the light to the edge and the after
We won't turn around, we will not slow down
Follow the light through the dreams and disasters
Think of the sun, and the sound of it rising
Still on the run with our eyes on the horizon
I wanna feel alive forever after
And you say, you say you wanna feel alive forever after
And I, and I, and I say
I just wanna feel alive
I just wanna feel alive
I just wanna feel alive
I just wanna feel alive
Ultimately, Alphys feels bad for her, but wants to support Mikan in any way she can. She knows how it feels not to like yourself, and not to believe in your own skills, even when you have great ones that others point out frequently. She hopes to find some confidence to give to Mikan, and continue to encourage her when she doesn't feel good about her choices.

Alright, I'm on Johnson Avenue in San Luis Obispo
And I'm five years old or six, maybe
And indications that there's something wrong with our new house
Trip down the wire twice daily
I'm in the living room watching the Watergate hearings
While my stepfather yells at my mother
Launches a glass across the room, straight at her head
And I dash upstairs to take cover
Lean in close to my little record player on the floor
So this is what the volume knob's for
I listen to dance music
Dance music
Okay, so look, I'm 17 years old
And you're the last, best thing I've got going
But then the special secret sickness starts to eat through you
What am I supposed to do? No way of knowing
So I follow you down your twisting alleyways
Find a few cul de sacs of my own
There's only one place this road ever ends up
And I don't want to die alone
In the end, Wirt reminds herself a lot of her when she was about that age, and she'd love to be a voice of reason when she can- but she's also afraid their relationship might end up more like hers and Frisk's, where she leans on children too heavily. Still, she hopes they can find some common ground where both of them can talk and not be so nervous.

One day, Alphys does want to show Max some of the photos she's taken, but only once she has some she can be proud of. However, the photos and companionship Max has given her so far in her stay in Wonderland have been a treasure, one she'll hold close to her for a long time.
