I don't know how, but one day this idea came to me. Enjoy. P.S. Sorry for my other stories I'm being lazy and I'm trying to keep up with the Homestuck updates.
Chapter one
"Hey John!" A girl named Sarah called from across the class while coming up to me. She has long brown hair that is always in a high ponytail, dark brown eyes, somewhat tan skin, some freckles, and blue braces. Today she is wearing a black shirt and a red skirt with black flats. I think she panted her nails white.
'She kind of looks like Kanaya and Aradia if they ever became a sprite.' I noticed.
"What's up Sarah?" I asked. We really don't talk much. Actually I don't talk to a lot of the kids in my school. Very few are my friends and/or acquaintances at school. Most of my friends I have met are from over the internet.
"People are talking about the drawings you made in Art. I was wondering if there is a story behind the people and scenery. That and how you became so good over break." She told me. It's the first day from spring break, and it's the end of the day. For some weird reason we have two weeks off from school in April (not that I'm complaining), and it so happens that my birthday is in the first week off.
"I mean you're really not that good in art (not that there isn't anything wrong with that), but... you aren't that good you know?" She was trying not to sound mean because she doesn't like hurting people's feelings. And because I was making a face. The thing is that I wasn't making a face to that 'cause I know I sucked, but she was asking about what I drew in Art and how that it was descent. I remembered what happened in said class, and afterwords.
=== Be the John from earlier
"Welcome back class. Now today I want you all to draw something from over break and tell the story about it once you are done. You can do more than one story and if you don't want to do more than one it's okay. You can draw something else in your spare time alright? Now this will take about four days. Two to draw, and two to present. Time to get to work!" Ms. Blanc*, my Art teacher, said to the class. Ms. Blanc has short blond hair with white stripes in it, dark brown eyes that almost looks black, white flats, a blue/green/yellow dress (the blue is the top, the yellow is the skirt part, and the green is like a sash that separates the blue from the green), and has a pink handkerchief on her head to hold her hair back.
'Now that I think about it she kind of looks like Ms. Paint.' I thought idly. I was a bit sleepy since this is the first class of the day. I woke up early because I thought I might've been late to school.
I looked around the class. In the front is a whiteboard and a chalkboard. To the left of the boards is the door, and to the right of the boards is her desk. At the left wall is where she keeps her Art supplies, at the right wall is where we set our Art to dry or just for a place to stay. At the back is where we make bowls of clay and whatnot. At the left of that is a room where we bake the clay. I don't remember what the room, the machine to burn the clay with, and the process are called. To the right is where she keeps more supplies. 'Better be safe than sorry' she says. Witch is true 'cause you never know when you are going to run out of something. There are tables scattered around the room where kids sit at and do there work. I sit at the table that is dead center in the class. The kids who sit with me are Zane, Jude, Alice, and April. Zane has short dirty blond hair, green eyes, pale skin, purple shirt, blue jeans, dark purple hoody, and black tennis shoes. Jude has brown hair that he keeps in a low pony tail, gray eyes, tan skin, white t-shirt, brown capris, and white shoes. Alice and April are twins. The only way to know who is who is their hair, nails, and personality. They both have a dark blue eyes, somewhat tan skin, white flip-flops, and (since it's the month of April) dresses with flowers on them. Alice has long bleach blond hair with a dark blue stripe at her left side, while April has short bleach blond hair with a light pink stripe at her right side. Alice has the same color nail polish as her hair, but April has a darker shade of pink. They have the other's nail polish for their toenails. I was wearing the same thing I was wearing for my birthday. Well what I wore earlier that day.
"So John what are you going to draw?" Asked Alice. I snapped out of my thoughts to look at her.
"You know what? I don't know." I told her. I could see Zane roll his eyes in the corner of my eye. Zane sits to my left while Jude sits at the end of the table to my right, and the twins sit on the other side of me.
'I wonder if Jade and Dave had a boy he would look like Zane.' I thought.
"Maybe you can draw your Dad making a cake." April suggested.
"Maybe the nerd could draw something about Con Air." Zane asks sarcastically.
"Don't be mean to John. Let the guy watch what he want's to watch." Jude defended me. The thing is that Alice, April, and Jude as my friends, and come to my defense whenever I get picked on. It's been like this ever since we've met in Kindergarten. Zane is one of those bullies. Usually I would say something back at him, but since my thirteenth birthday I've grown up a bit.
"Well I was thinking about drawing about what my friends from the internet gave to me for my birthday. Dave got me the bunny from the movie." I told them, and they just stared at me.
"Are you for real? You got the bunny? Oh my god! That's so cool John!" April nearly freaked out. She, like me, is a big Con Air fan.
"I'm so jealous of you!" She said grinning. Alice looked confused.
"How did your friend get it?" She asked. I remembered the note he sent.
"If I remember correctly he said it wasn't easy." I replied. Jude gave me a pat on the back.
"I'm glad for you John. Now is that all you've done over break?" He asked me. I thought back to what I've done. Most of it was on my birthday, three years latter, and the rest of the break. I didn't want the others to know what had happen to me and my friends so I shook my head.
"I really didn't do much, so I guess I have to go with my birthday presents." I said with a shrug.
"You sure?" Alice asked me. I grinned and nodded.
"I'm sure mother." I said in my joking tone of voice.
'Man did I miss them.' I thought. Next thing I knew I had a piece of paper in front of me with some colored pencils. I wasn't sure if I should be drawing since my time with the others gave me a chance to make my drawing skills better. I started to remember the time I spent in the game, not noticing I was starting to draw. My time there made me grow up. Well to an extent. I met my Nanna, my internet friends, aliens, and so much more. I found out that I was a clone of myself, and found out that I'm related to the Colonel Sassacre only because my Nanna was adopted by him. Unfortunately this means that I'm also related to her. Next thing I know I was remembering the first time I've seen The Condesce. I've never been so angry in my whole life. I almost went grimdark because of her. Thankfully Roxy made me calm down.
'How dare she? How dare she hurt my friends and family? She should be thankful that we spared her life.' I thought angrily. I felt a hand on my shoulder and look up to see Jude with a concern look on his face.
"John? You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, you were drawing these amazing things and all of a sudden you were shaking. Then your pencil snapped." Alice and April said at the same time. I looked at them confused.
"Drawings?" I asked and looked down at my hand to see the black color pencil snapped in half and I slowly look to see more than one piece of paper filed with color.
"Uhhhhh." I just dumbly said. It was like my memories were turn into pictures. The one at the top of the pile was The Condesce standing in her throne room with Jake, Jane, and Jade standing next to her. In one hand she had her trident while the other was stretching out for me to take. All the while smiling with her shark teeth. Her hair was like a cape, flowing out behind her. Jade was all grimbark and smiling. Jane looked like Crockercorp puked all over her and she was expressionless. Jake was in his godtier clothing and it was as if the light in his eyes disappeared. It looked like they would jump out of the page.
"Did I really draw that?" I asked the others a bit scared.
"Are you tell me that you don't remember drawing that?" Zane asked me. I gulped and nodded.
'Why did I do this? Why would I draw the whole time I was in Sburb? I need to talk to Rose as soon as possible.' I thought worried that something was wrong with me. Well besides me being a god, clone, and maybe mutant. I might be a mutant because normal humans don't have this bright blue color eyes.
"Oh my, John! You certainly gotten better over break! And the way you drew everything, so livid! Almost as if they could be real! Good job." I jumped at hearing Ms. Blanc's words. I turned to see her smile. Then she saw something.
"Oh, what's this?" She asked while getting a piece of paper. It was a drawing of Ms. Paint when we first met. She was in her fancy dress, and she was comforting me. I kinda had a break down. I like Ms. Paint, she was really nice to me. Like Ms. Blanc. I looked to see Ms. Blanc's reaction and saw that she was frowning. Then she started to look at all of the drawings. There wasn't much, only a few pages. Some had happy memories on them and others...
"John. Tell me. What does this have to do with your Spring Break? Did you just draw this out of boredom or is it something else?" She asked me. I was looking around the room not knowing what to say. Then the bell rang.
"Oh! There goes the bell! I gotta go to my next class. So um. See ya!" I practically flew out the room with all of my stuff. I was at my locker when I started to settle down.
"That was close." I muttered. I opened the locker and traded my art supplies for my science book and papers. I closed my locker and went to science. The day was a blur and the next thing I knew I was at my lunch table eating my Strawberry jelly sandwich.
"John we need to talk." I heard April say siting next to me.
"About what?" I asked playing innocent. I heard someone sit to my right.
"Don't act like you don't know." Alice said to said direction. Jude sat in front of me.
"You've been acting weird ever since Art. Dude. What happen during Spring Break? Is it because we weren't there for your birthday? Did something happen to your dad? What's wrong? You know you can tell us anything." He told me. I sighed, finished my sandwich, and started to eat my chips.
"I can't." I said softly with my head bowed.
"Can't what?" The twins asked at the same time. I sighed once more.
"I can't tell you. You won't, can't, understand. It's to complicated. Even if I did tell you, and you somehow wrap your minds around it, you would think I went nuts. Now let's just drop it." I told them. They went silent. I finished my lunch and went to my next class.
=== Be current John
"Also, April and Alice are concern for you John." Sarah said suddenly. Sarah is also happens to be April's and Alice's friend.
"I know that you are good friends with them and, but John. *deep breath* People are talking, and... Please..." I looked at her; she had this sad, pleading look. She's usually so cheerful... I sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time that day. The bell rang the second after. Everyone was walking out of the room without giving us a second glance. I looked to my stuff, took it, and started to walk away, but stopped after a few steps. I turned my head a bit so I could see her out of the corner of my eye.
"If you went though what I have then, and only then, would you understand both the horrors and the wonders I have seen." I said somewhat cryptically then followed everyone else out of the room. I went to my locker to put everything a way and get my backpack.
'Thank God that I don't have homework. That would just add to my problems...' I thought a bit sadly. I walked out of the school and saw my friends. I walked up to them with a sheepish smile. They turned to me.
"Look. I'm sorry about earlier. It's just... It's kinda personal." I told them. They all looked at each other then back to me. Alice came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"It's all right. We are just worried about you. But don't forget. We'll always be there for you okay?" She asked me with a soft smile. I saw April and Jude look behind me so I turned to see Sarah with...
"Jade?!" I nearly yelled. She smiled big time and ran up to me and gave me a big hug.
"John! It's so good to see you." She said with enthusiasm.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home? What does Bec think?" I asked, she let go soon afterwards, and rolled her eyes.
"So it's a crime to visit my cousin now?" She asked me with a raised eyebrow.
"Well no, not really, but you know how Bec is." I reminded her. She rolled her eyes again then moved her index finger in the 'come hither' way. I leaned in to find out what she wanted to show me. She moved her head so her mouth was next to my ear.
"You need to come to Kanaya's as soon as possible." She whispered, and my eyes widen.
"What? Why?" I whispered back.
"It's Dave." She told me. I leaned back and stared at her in horror.
"No. Now?" I asked her. She was frowning and nodded.
"Unfortunately yes." She replied. I sighed once again and pinch the bridge of my nose.
"What's wrong John?" Jude asked. I turned back to my friends to see concern written on their faces. I gave them a small smile.
"Sorry, but it looks like something came up. I have to go. I'll see you guys latter okay?" I asked them. I turn back to Jade and Sarah.
"Thanks for helping Jade Sarah. And remember what you asked earlier? I'm sorry, but I can't tell you anything else. I hope you can understand." She gave a small nod and smile. I looked at Jade and gave her a serious look.
"Let's go." I told her and she, in turn, nodded. Then we left.
=== Be Sarah from a few minutes in the past
John left me in the classroom all alone.
"Oh, John... What happened to you? What made you so sad?" I whispered to myself. I walked out of the room and went to my locker. Luckily it's right next to the class so I didn't have to go far.
"Excuse me, but do you know John Egbert?" A cheerful voice questioned. I turned around saying 'huh?' and saw a girl looking almost exactly like John. The only difference was that her hair was longer, she has round glasses, her eyes are a dark green I have never seen, and that she had a shirt with a blue dog and a long skirt.
"Uh yes. I do. I just talked to him in fact. Why? Do you know him?" I asked in return. She smiled in relief.
"Yep! I'm one of his internet friends, Jade. Who are you?"
"I'm Sarah. It's nice to meet you." I gave a soft smile.
"Nice to meet you to. Hey, do you think you could do me a favor?" Jade asked bowing slightly, hands clapped together, with one eye closed.
"What is it?"
"Could you help me find John? It's kinda important."
"Ummm, sure. I think he's still on the school grounds. Follow me." I said with an awkward smile. Jade gave a wide grin, eyes sparkling, and nodded. With that we left the building. We saw April and Jude looking at us. John and Alice turn to see us. John yelled Jade's name, looking surprised and... concerned?
=== Be current Jude
"John, just what happened to you?" I muttered after John left with Jade.
"Let's go spy on them." April said soon afterwards and I looked at her.
"What?" I asked.
"Did you see the way John looked at Jade after their little confrontation? Something is up and I want to get to the bottom of it. Don't you?" She explained. I saw Sarah come up to us.
"Even though I'm not John's friend I'm still worried about him." She stated. Alice nodded in understanding. I sighed knowing that when the twins made up their minds there was no stopping them.
"Fine." I said finally. The three girls smiled at me and we turn to follow John and his apparent cousin.
'They do look similar, but the eyes.' John's eyes were a deep shade of blue that no one else has (and would be considered unnatural), and then there was Jade's eyes. They were a unnatural shade of green. They were so bright. We ended up in a park and we were hiding behind a bush. The two were deep in the park, in the forest area. They looked like they were talking when I heard movement behind us. I turn to see Zane.
"Zane." I whispered. The others looked to see him looking at us in shock.
"What are you doing here?" April whispered/yelled. He looked at her and scowled.
"I could ask the same." He spat back. I rolled my eyes.
"We can argue about this later. But to let you know we are spying on John and this girl named Jade." I said. He looked at me.
"Well then we are doing the same thing. To be honest I was a bit curious after the whole Art incident. I mean, who doesn't remember what the heck their doing? No one makes such detailed stuff and don't remember doing it." He explained.
"Hey look. Jade's about to do something." Sarah told us. We look to see Jade back up from John and started to spark. It was like she was made out of electricity and she was making green and yellow sparks. She ran at John and they just... disappeared.
"What the hell?" Zane asked.
=== Be John
We went to the park so we wouldn't get spot by any people.
"So. What happened?" I asked.
"Dave came back and... well you just need to see it for yourself." She told me.
"How bad is it?" I asked. I started to feel worried (as if I wasn't worried before) when she didn't respond and looked away.
"Jade. How bad is it?" I asked slowly this time. She sighed and then turned back to me.
"You just need to see it for yourself." She repeated. I stop asking when I saw the sadness and the hurt in her eyes. I closed my eyes and nodded.
"Fine." I told her softly. Jade then used her powers she got from Bec and transported us to Kanaya's. I saw that everyone was there. What caught my attention was Karkat holding a wounded Dave.
"Dave!" I yelled. My backpack fell from my shoulders and I ran to him. He was wearing his godteir outfit, and blood was all over him. He looked up and gave me a small smile.
"Hey John. Long time no see eh?" He asked weakly. When I got to him he shakily got to his feet and walked slowly up to me.
"It's so good to see you. You don't know how long it's been for me." He gave a small chuckle.
"Dave... Please... Not again..." I said. I always hated it when this happened.
"You're an idiot you know that? You and your stupid ideas." I said with tears streaming down my face. He wiped my tears away and gave me a hug.
"I know. And it seems that the other me isn't able to kill me. Wanna know why?" He asked; I didn't want to, but nodded.
"Because this is considered heroic." He said then fell backwards. My eyes widen and I caught him.
"Why?" I choke out.
"Why does this happen? Why do we have to do this? SOMEONE TELL ME!" I yelled out sobbing. I felt a hand on my shoulder, but I didn't dare look to see who it was. After what seems like an eternity I stopped.
"It's time John." I heard Karkat say in a soft voice. I nodded and started to get to work.
Oh my god. In the first chapter I killed Dave. Ugggalkshdfoiawhenodficnaw9e[8rqy-3999wefhnc413w4f 8hbq4hq612awebcinieuca. Why me? Why? Well I hope you liked it. Please tell me any mistakes I have made. Thank you.
