Today was probably her most interesting day in quite a while. Making a trip to the grocery store and being followed home by a… Guy was new. Sure it sounds funny at first—Funny weird—but... There was just something about him, whether it be his personality, looks, demeanor, or a mixture of every possible source; there was something about the guy that seemed so harmlessly adorable.

Trexii had to thank the guy's little buddy, though. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have come in contact with the messy-haired male. Or then again; he was… A very flirtatious character. The outcome would probably remain no matter what if he were still there to catch a glimpse of her. His name was... Oh, what was his name…? Oh, that's right... Gamzee. Odd name, but Trexii couldn't talk; her name was just as odd. Plus she liked the sound of it.

Anyhow, this all started from the moment she exited the store with her two bags occupying her folded arms. As she was exiting the lot and turning the corner, a pretty hot-headed person was headed her way. Sadly she didn't notice until he walked into her, causing him to face-plant into the paper bag before him. He was a bit shorter than Trexii was. Small, short-tempered, and… Albino… from what it seemed. The shorter boy discontinued his relentless ranting the second his skin was in contact with the paper. "...Uh…" Trexii didn't know what to say… This was… Awkward. It wasn't until she involuntarily glanced at his taller buddy that she realized the smaller one's reaction would not be so great once he charged up his argument; by the look on Gamzee's face. "Karkat, bro, you wait a mother fucking minute, man…" Trexii's Icy blue's darted at his words. A hint of faint worry taking hold of her face. "…Huh-?"

That was it.

"Why do people have to be so ignorant as to not watching where the hell they're going!? I mean, fuck, lady! Don't you see me walking here? Or are you just too fucking absent minded to get your fucking noggin in the game? It's probably your hair. Just look at that shit, it's all wild and shit. It must suck up all of your god damned intelligence, huh?!" His pale face was turning red in mere seconds…

Multiple times Trexii tried to calm the boy down, he would have more of his lecture already in store and ready to shut her out before she even tried. Trexii was quite sensitive, especially to yelling. It didn't matter whether or not what was being said was offending or not; it was just the essence of one yelling at her that just triggered her emotions. She shut her eyes tight hoping to block out some of the impact, when suddenly; Silence. Well.. Silence and mumbling. Upon opening one of two ice-toned eyes, the girl finds that his taller friend had stepped up and covered his mouth. It looked funny, really. The shorter one continued struggling to lecture on, while the taller one held an adorable poker face, looking a little nervous.

"I'm real sorry about that, sis," The taller one said. His voice was a lot deeper and grungier—If that was the right term—that she imagined it to be. "he has a real bad temper, but it ain't nothin', really. Can you forgive the fella?" Followed by his little plea, was a kindhearted smile. Such a cute smile rendered the girl speechless. A light pink brushing over her pale skin. "Y-yes, of course! It's nothing really, I should be the one apologizing, I think.."

"Naw y'don't, sis. There ain't no reason for a beautiful thing like you t'be sorry 'bout nothing."

"Oh yes the fuck there is!" The shorter one spoke up after releasing himself of his taller friends hands. "When you turn a fucking corner, you watch where the hell you're going!"

"Karkat, bro… Chill. Y'upsettin' her, man." He looked Sincerely hurt, or just upset. Karkat, was it? Trexii still felt the need to apologize, however, so why not.

"K-..Karkat, is it?"

They both froze, seized their silly squabbling, and looked her way. It made the collage graduate feel uncomfortable. Her words only became a bit more frantic. "I'm uh.. I'm sorry for uh, not watching in front of me. Can you forgive me? I-I don't mean to make you so mad.."

Karkat looked surprised. He seemed to blush a little. "Yeah, yeah, whatever, I didn't mean it, okay? I can be kind of blunt and loud so.. Sorry about that." Come to think of it, he was still speaking in a loud tone after all.

Hearing the two make up like that made the taller male so much happier; anyone could tell. "Well would'ya look at that. You guys all up and made friends." He cheered. Trexii wouldn't exactly call it… Friends, but..

"Now hold it there," he turned to Trexii for a second. "—Not to sound rude, or anything, but—" He turned back to the giddy one of the tiny group. "we only apologized to each other. It isn't like we know everything about each other or anything for god's sake. I don't even know her name."

"M-my name's Trexii!" Her actions took over without thinking. She figured it'd be polite to exchange names since she involuntarily discovered his. "Trexii Tyrahx.."

"Oh, well, um… Nice to meet you I guess. Trexii." Karkat spoke, rubbing the back of his neck. "Vantas."

"Huh?"

"My last name. It's Vantas."

"Oh!" She found that a pretty cool sounding surname.

"That's a cute little name there, Trexii." The messier haired one added.

"Thank you.. What about you?"

"My name is Gamzee. Gamzee Makara."

Oh that was a really nice name. Especially the last name; it had some sort of… ring to it.

"I like your name too." Trexii looked down at her shoes and shuffled nervously a bit. "Aw shit, thanks, sis. Honk."

A… Honk? Trexii's face clearly showed that she was utterly confused yet very amused by his little sound. Karkat could tell. He felt it would make more sense if her were to shed some light on the odd situation.

"Uh.. Gamzee sort of… Honk's when he's happy. Like really happy." The shorter one said, tucking his hands into his pull-over hoodies front pocket pouch.

"That's… Cute!" Trexii squeaked. Gamzee chuckled. It flustered him a little, but he wasn't the type to show when flustered. You'd have to get to know him to understand when he was or when he wasn't.

"Thanks, sis. You're pretty cute'tcho self." He said, looming over her with such a genuine grin. He was so much taller than Trexii was. He had to worsen his already hunched-like posture to reach down to her level. Reaching down to two to three inches above her was the best he could do; it was enough, too. Trexii's cheeks shifted into a powdery pink once more; coloring that pale skin of hers. "Th-thank you!" She giggled.

"I hate to break up this little stranger party, but its getting dark soon and I've got homework and a project to work on." Trexii looked up at the sky after hearing the albino's words. It was gradually shifting into that soft dim blue… Sadly.

Wait… Homework? Wow what grade were these guys in? Well.. Gamzee looked quite a bit older than Karkat; as did Karkat look younger—and shorter. Perhaps Gamzee was already a college graduate too.

"Oh, okay… But one last thing. Hey Karkat, what… Grade are you in? It sounds to me that you're still in school?"

"Yeah I am. Unlike you two, I'm still a high schooler, mind you. But this is my Junior year, so there isn't much left. Now lets go Gamzee. Been a pleasure sort of, I guess, meeting you, Trexii."

"You guys, too. I hope we can meet up again some time." She waved and turned to be off on her way. It was getting pretty dark.

Gamzee was.. Upset. He didn't want to depart yet. Caught in the middle; on whether to go with his best friend, or walk this new girl home like a gentleman? Choices, choices. On he wen't to jog up and catch up with his little bro. "Hey.. Karkat. Why don't you uh, go to your Aunt's place? I'll come back for you after I walk the chick home, 'kay, bro?"

"What?"

"Come on, man. Look at her, I can't just be all rude and shit, letting a girl like her get home alone with all that baggage, bro." Gamzee's expressions were truly something to behold. Whether he be happy… sad… Everyone around him would be forced to feel every ounce of emotion as he did once you looked at his face; into those big brown eyes.

Karkat couldn't say no.

"Fine. Just don't take forever." Karkat turned and went on ahead, turning a different direction to get to his aunt's. Karkat understood why Gamzee didn't want him to walk alone. Karkat didn't want to walk home alone either. Truth be told; Karkat knew how vulnerable he could be at times. It wouldn't be for the best. –And that's why he had to let Gamzee assist their new acquaintance in doing the same thing; getting home safely. Besides, it wasn't like Karkat didn't enjoy swinging by his aunt's place. She was always so welcoming. Her mate, too.

The eerie feeling of walking home alone was ever so… frightening. It was night at this point; the orange-dimming street lights lit, and there were hard to identify figures everywhere. Her heart was racing; but she's dealt with this enough to understand how to maintain her heart rate.

Suddenly there was a hand resting on her shoulder, followed by a "Honk, honk!"

It nearly caused her to drop her things. The honking was very familiar; someone she'd interacted with not too long ago. She peeked over her shoulder to find just who she expected and was overjoyed to see. "Gamzee! Hi! Where's Karkat..? You didn't leave him to go home alone did you?"

"Naw. Not really. I told the lil' bro to hang out at his auntie's place until I came back to pick him up. His aunt ain't far from where we all were a while ago."

"Oh, that's good. So you're here to walk me home I take it?"

"Honk!" He smiled. Trexii laughed. Then she looked down at his open arms and grabby hands. "Huh?" She glanced at her bags. "The bags?" He nodded profusely. "You don't have to, you know.." She handed them over, though. It didn't seem like she would prevail if she protested having him hold her stuff. "Aw, no; pleasures all mine, sis."

The two chatted along dark sidewalks amongst their little journey.
