Don't ask me where this idea came from. Basically it's Sharkboy and Lavagirl but with Homestuck characters.
Disclaimer: I don't own Homestuck
"There was once a boy named Eridan Ampora. He lived with his older brother, Cronus, in a marine lab on a boat. Cronus would often call him 'Sharkboy' because of how much he loved sharks. He loved them more than all the other life in the sea. Eridan became friends with the sharks, making them personal meals each day depending on what they enjoyed to eat. But one day, a huge storm approached their ship. Eridan and Cronus both survived in life boats, but they went in different directions, drifting away from each other. Eridan was completely alone. Except for the sharks. Recognizing him, they took him to their cave home where he learned the ways of the shark.
'Always keep moving'
'Live using your instincts'
Over time, Eridan grew gills. They weren't exactly like his family's, but they let him stay underwater much longer than he used to be able to. He got some fins too. His ears, on his arms, he was able to swim faster and farther than ever be-" Tavros stopped reading when a piece of paper hit him on the forehead, getting giggles from the class. He looked up nervously. His sister, Vriska, was smirking at him.
"Vriska, stop. Tavros, continue. And get to the point please." Their teacher, Ms. Damara sighed. Tavros took a deep breath, trying to gather back the little confidence he had had for a moment.
"I-I met Eridan last summer while fishing with my dad. I snuck him home while my parents were argui- b-busy. I kept him in water and fed him fish. He told me about the world of Dreams, split into two halves, Prospit and Derse. The stories were amazing and he said everyone's dreams go there to live. One day, when I was talking to him, there was a bright light from the hallway. I opened the door and there was a girl there. She had long black hair and a tiara on, as well as pink goggles. She looked like a princess. I asked her who she was and she said she was the Witch of Life. Eridan kinda snorted and called her Fef. But her real name was Feferi Peixes. She had come to get Eridan back to the Dream World, since there was a real danger there. They asked if I could come with them, but I told them there was school tomorrow. She looked sad but walked off with Eridan.
A-and I haven't seen them since" Tavros finished, peeking up from his journal cautiously. The class was quiet before they all threw paper balls at him.
"Hey! I am NOT picking that up." Ms. Damara snapped, standing up and slamming her hands on the table. Everyone stopped throwing things. Vriska lazily raised her hand in the air.
"I thought this assignment was on TRUE things that happened over the summer, riiiiiiiight?" She drawled out. Tavros clutched his journal tighter.
"I-It is true! I-I mean...It is..." He stammered nervously. A girl in the front row, Tavros' friend Aradia, raised her hand.
"What powers does Feferi have? We know that Eridan is like a shark but what about her?" She asked interested. Vriska rolled her eyes and gave an exasperated sigh as Tavros flipped the pages in his journal.
"W-Well, she has a trident. And she can give some of her life to others to help them. L-Like a healer." He explained. Aradia nodded, content with his answer.
"Okay kids. Who here thinks Tavros' story is true?" Ms. Damara asked. The only person to raise their hand was Aradia.
"Alright then. Tavros, take your seat. Vriska, you're up." Vriska stood up as Tavros shuffled to his desk. She purposefully tripped him, sending him to the floor as the class laughed. She smirked at him before walking up front.
"I met a kid who was half dork and half boy over the summer. The son of my mom's boyfriend. I decided to call him Dorkboy." Everyone snickered as Tavros' face turned bright red.
"His dad married my mom and now I'm stuck with him. He smells so bad, the windows always have to be open just so we can breathe without puking!" Vriska finished, earning even more laughs from the class as the bell rang.
"All right. Class dismissed. Except Tavros and Vriska. You two stay." Ms. Damara ordered.
"Aw come oooooooon Ms. D" Vriska whined. Ms. Damara twitched.
"Class! What is my name?" She shouted.
"Ms. Damara" The kids recited as they left.
"Right. Not Ms. Demonara, or Ms. Da, or Ms. D" She looked directly at Vriska, who rolled her eyes. Tavros stood uneasily next to her.
"Tavros, Vriska, this is a brand new school year. I know your parents are having... issues early in their marriage but that is no reason to why you two can't be friends." She began. Tavros and Vriska exchanged looks.
"No way." They both said. Ms. Damara smirked.
"Great, so you'll be the best of friends. Vriska, go. Tavros, I want to talk about these... dreams of yours." Vriska hurried out, sticking her tongue out at Tavros before she left. Tavros shifted nervously, fingering his journal.
"Tavros, you're in the fifth grade. Aren't you getting a bit...old for these things? The only thing dreams do is distract you from what's in front of you. You need to face reality." Ms. Damara said softly as Tavros began writing in his journal. He looked up from what he had written: 'No Dreaming'.
"O-Okay Ms. Damara. I uh...I can try that." He began to leave when Ms. Damara called him back.
"Tavros, what is that you have there?" She asked, pointing to his journal.
"Oh this? It's my dream journal! My dad gave it to me and told me to write down every precious dream I had. It... gives me confident." He smiled a bit before leaving. He hoped he could avoid Vriska and her crew. Of course, her luck was much better than his and she called out to him when he tried to sneak past her.
"Heeeeeeeey Tavros. Wanna see MY dream? It's that stupid shark-head of yours being eaten by electric eels." She held up her crude drawing of Tavros' dream character.
"W-Wow Vriska that's... really lame." He smiled a bit at his comeback, proud of himself. But his pride quickly turned to fear as her eyes narrowed and her crew stood up.
"Get that journal." She barked. Tavros took off running towards the playground, the bullies right behind him. He climbed onto the rocking bridge but was cut off on the other side by Meenah.
"Where you think you're goin'?" She smirked, twirling one of her long braids in one hand. He turned to go back but was cut off by Vriska.
"Hand it over Tav." She demanded. Tavros took a deep breath before throwing his journal over her head into the slide before pushing past her and diving into the slide after it. He grabbed it as the others slid down the other slides and began climbing the rope wall, holding the journal in his mouth. Vriska snapped her fingers and Karkat, the best climber in their grade, began climbing after him. Tavros got nervous and made the mistake of looking down, missing the next rope and slipping, hitting his crotch on the rope. He groaned in pain and fell backwards, managing to catch himself but his journal fell into Vriska's waiting hand.
"Don't worry, I'll make aaaaaaaall sorts of revisions to your pathetic dreams Tavros. And don't even think about telling on me or you'll never get it back." She stuck her tongue out before walking off with her crew, leaving Tavros hanging there.
End of chapter 1!
It was just intro stuff. You should be able to figure out the basics of who is who from this if you've seen the movie :3
