It was an average day, and John was bored. Summer vacation had left him with nothing to do besides watch movies, and he was starting to realize how shitty they actually were. This lead him to feel the need to text his pals, so he shot out a mass text.

TV: i ACTUALLY CANT TODAY, sORRY JOHN }:(

Well it was settled. Everyone was coming except Tavros. John hurried to get cleaned up before Terezi, Vriska, and Sollux got to his house.

"DAD, SOME FRIENDS ARE COMING OVER OKAY?" He shouted down the stairs. Immediately his father ran up the stairs more swiftly than anything John had ever seen. John was afraid when his father got right up in his face.

"Son, keep it down, I have another cake in the oven and I dont want it to flatten. As long as you guys keep it down and dont shake the floor they can come over."

"Cool, thanks dad!" Relief overcame John as his father walked back down the stairs.

*ding dong*

That must have been his friends. John slid down the bannister of the staircase and hopped off at the front door, to which he opened.

"Hey Sollux!"

"Yo John. I saw TZ and Vriska on their way over here as I drove by. Looks like they are on their roller blades and should be here in a few."

"Sweet, wanna help me get out some snacks?"

The boys walked into the kitchen and hauled all the snack food they could up to John's room. On their second trip, the doorbell rang again. Sollux hopped over to the door and opened it with his foot. Two sweaty girls holding roller blades and helmates stood before them.

"Hey John! Terezi and I were—"

"Gimme those fucking Doritos John." Terezi interrupted Vriska as she snatched the bag from his arms and hauled ass up the stairs.

Both boys were unable to speak.

"What the fuck just happened?" Sollux lisped out.

"I am so sorry about her. She was hanging with Gamzee before and I guess shes still a bit off her rocker."

"You mean she's high?"

"Yeah. And clearly has the munchies."

"As long as my dad doesnt find her, its all good." John snorted as he laughed. He had never seen Terezi high before.

They made their way up to the room and opened the door to find Terezi zonked out on the floor, surrounded by chips.

"I will get the vacuum." Sighed John.
