MAKE A WISH; VIDEO

[demonsional]

[Things have been very weird. There have been a lot of kids? Suddenly? Some of the kids are his friends but they don't remember him? It's weird! Hayden has no idea. What he does know is that he's "do everything for Hope" quest never sleeps. So he's posting a new video waving around an empty jar.

Some former squad members may recognize this as the selfsame mud jar. But it's clean now. Thank God.]

This is my wish jar! Please I am hoping to fill it with wishes for Mister Lord--I mean--I mean--

[He hesitates, practically choking as he stammers in confusion.]

For Hope.

[The sudden lack of titles makes him look very guilty and uncomfortable and he loses his enthusiasm, if only for a second. Then he snaps back to attention.]

I am going to give him many happy things and it will be from all of us and then he will feel better so please tell me all of your wishes and they can be whispered into the jar and they will make him feel much better!

[He's kind of stuck on a repetitive loop here but he's hardly noticed. He just shakes the jar even more.]

Wishes! Please! Thank you!

[The shift to panic on his face is abrupt. There's...there's a difference? Clearly, if there is, he doesn't quite understand. So he hesitates before he gives an answer.]

Both?

[sciencelizard]

[OH NO MY SWEET CHILD. She immediately looks apologetic.]

Both is fine! Both is good, actually, it's... yeah!!!

[Oh now she has to think of something. She concentrates for a few moments, and then speaks.]

I-- I want some of my friends to show up here! Because they've never gotten to see the sun before, and... I was really h-happy when I got to see it.

[demonsional]

[Good enough! With that stumbling block behind them, Hayden's expression lights up again.]

I want your friends to be here, too! And then I can meet them and maybe they will also be my friend and everyone can be happy in the sun together? Do you think they would like me? I already like them and I have never met them!

[sciencelizard]

[She smiles when they do, seemingly also excited.]

I b-bet so! I know Papyrus would like you a lot. And King Asgore is amazing at training and with kids! And... I bet Undyne would like you m-most of all.

[She looks away a bit, trying to keep smiling.]

I miss her a lot.

[demonsional]

What's she like? She must be the most nice if you miss her really very much!

[Please shower him in tales of friendship and badass fish women.]

[sciencelizard]

[Oh my gosh, always.]

She's amazing. She's the head of the royal guard! Protector of the King and of all Monsterkind! She's strong, and s-smart, and she plays the piano really well and can bench press like seven kids.

[Truly the love of her life, tbh.]

[demonsional]

Whoa! That's so many things for one person to be! And that's so many kids!

[He's already more than 100% sold on Undyne as a person. So, um, when can she arrive?]

She must have worked really hard to be that way! I want to tell her that she is amazing!

[sciencelizard]

[Even Alphys seems really excited hyping her up.]

She worked so hard! She was training her whole life! She's w-wonderful and beautiful and so nice...

[She sighs, very dreamily. Gosh, Undyne. Soooo goooood.]

I love her.

[And then she stops, letting out a little squeak in surprise.]

I mean, she's-- uh-- she's very cool! S-So everyone loves her!!! Yeah!!!!!
