254 Leaving the lair, I saw another sparkly star.

Saving my progress, I saw a poster.

"'Oh, One True Love!' mini-opera ongoing!

Starring Mettaton, with the human - as the co-actor!"

255 Cameras sprung up. Spotlights lit up the place.

Dramatic music began filling the warm area.

Looking up, I saw the fancy bot in a beautiful blue sparkly dress.

He starts off with his performance.

256 "Oh, that human!

Could it be... my ONE TRUE LOVE?"

The princess began walking down the stairs.

He started singing.

257 ♫ "Oh my love...

please run away...

Monster King...

forbids your Stay...

258 Humans must...

live far apart...

Even if...

it breaks my heart...

259 They'll put you...

in the dungeon...

It'll suck...

and then you'll die a lot...

260 Really sad...

you're gonna die...

Cry cry cry

so sad it's happening..."♫

261 Mettaton pulled out a suspicious switch.

"Oh, human, I'm sorry..." He said, pressing the button.

I fell into the Hotland.

There was another puzzle ahead!

262 "Darling, remember the 'Multicolor Tile Puzzle'?

I don't have to explain the rules anymore.

You have 30 seconds to reach to the end of the puzzle...

or else, these jets of fire will incinerate you!"

263 "Go ahead, darling!"

He started singing his musical piece again,

this time, he sung it faster, for dramatic tension.

I started walking around.

264 Thirty seconds have passed.

In the middle of the puzzle, I stopped.

"Sorry, darling. By this time, pray your final prayers!

You will be burned to death!" He exclaimed.

265 Alphys interrupted. "I'll hack into the firewall and deactivate it!"

There was a clicking sound. The fires went shut.

"You got lucky this time, darling." He said, leaving.

I went off to my journey.
