Okay so this is my first Homestuck-related fanfic. I have very little experience writing the trolls, with the exception of role playing the trolls on trollmegle, so... just bare with me if it's not perfect. If you see a typing quirk error, or you think a character should have said something different, tell me in the reviews and I'll be happy to fix it! So, yeah, I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I'm not Andrew Hussie and I don't own the characters/homestuck.


"What the fuck!" Karkat shouted as he woke up in a place he didn't recognize; at all. He wasn't on Prospit, he wasn't in the veil, and he definitely wasn't in his hive. He sat up, freaking out. He looked down at what he was sitting on. Was he sitting on one of those human 'beds'? His eyes widened in fear as he realised he probably was.

He looked at his hands. They weren't gray, but a peachy-brown color, which probably freaked him out the most. Was he- was he a human? "This can't be fucking happening I'm still dreaming, aren't I?" he told himself, trying to calm his nerves. He punched himself a few times on the head just to prove his point, but when he realised that this was reality, he started panicking.

He hopped out of the bed and looked in the mirror across the room. No horns. His teeth weren't pointy. He definitely didn't have gray skin. His eyes were white and gray instead of yellow and black. His hair was the same though. He touched his face with his hands, probably more confused than anyone could ever possibly be confused. This could just not be happening.

He noticed that on the door to the room was a sign that said "KARTER'S ROOM. STAY THE FUCK OUT." Wait what? Karter? Karkat knew his name, and it definitely wasn't Karter. What kind of a name was that, anyway?

Karkat noticed a computer in one corner of the room, and decided to see if he could get hold of the other trolls. He didn't know what was going on, but damn, he wanted to. On the computer, he couldn't see Trollian anywhere (of course), but there was another program open by the name of 'MSN messenger'. "Stupid humans and their dumb communication programs." he muttered.

He scrolled through the list of 11 contacts on the program, saying each of their names as he scrolled. "Arianna, Travis, Solomon..." and the list went on. The only person online was a person by the name of 'Teresa'. Karkat's eyes widened, and he clicked on the name to start a conversation.

KARTER says:

PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU'RE TEREZI.


Terezi, however, had a different reaction to waking up in a world that wasn't her own. The room she woke up in had red walls, much to her absolute happiness. However, she couldn't smell or taste it, which was rather disappointing, but on the plus side, she could see again. She had mixed opinions on her appearance. She liked the redness of her hair, and the freckles reminded her of Dave. She thought she looked strange without horns, however, and her light blue eyes reminded her of Vriska and she couldn't find sunglasses to hide them.

She, like Karkat, was confused at first. Really confused. However, there was chalk and dragon plushies in the room, which made her feel rather... in place. But really, she wanted to go back to the veil as a troll. A place that was even a bit familiar, were she knew the rules and expectations. Earth was a completely unfamiliar place to her and the least thing she wanted to do was make it obvious she wasn't from here. She learnt all she knew about humans from Dave, and even then, that was hardly anything.

Before she left the room, she wanted to make sure she knew everything about her 'human self' as possible. She found a journal, which told her that her name was Teresa, she was thirteen years old, her favorite color was red, she had a dragon obsession; okay, so everything about her was basically the same. She found a calendar in the room as well which helped her learn the earth months, and she discovered that the date was April 13, 2008. Earth dates sure were confusing.

She was home alone in the house, so she decided to explore the place before she did anything. It was a small house, though, so there wasn't much to explore. She found some orange creamsicles in the refrigerator, so she ate three of those for breakfast.

She hopped on the computer and looked at some earth websites, which really weren't interesting. She didn't even notice that she was signed onto a program called 'MSN messenger' until someone messaged her. Someone by the name of Karter.

Terezi didn't know why her and Karkat (and possibly others?) woke up on Earth, but she was going to find out, one way or another.


So... that was chapter one. I... hope it wasn't sucky, and I hope you liked it?

So yeah, please review! :D
