Nineteen Seventy-One

by All of the Candles

When Jake is sent to America for the summer by his mother, he expects some strange things to happen. After all, he is staying with John Egbert, a close family friend. Being his quirky self, John doesn't wait an hour before whisking Jake off to an adventure. Switches between John's point of view during 1944 and Jake's in 1971. I dont own Homestuck. [Obviously] Feedback please. :Y

1. Chapter 1

A/N:

Yes okay this is my first fic don't judge and stuff lmao kthx bai.

Real A/N: That's correct, My first FanFiction. Im going to deal with characters I know the most, so I don't think it will be too OOC. I don't want to put any pairings down [Yet], so Im going to be descript and subtle.

Kay now its time to write some wonderful prose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[Classy breaker]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You look at the man attempting to drive next to you. The traffic is thick. You begin to fall into deep thought. You ponder why your mother has sent you to die of heat stroke or possibly get yourself soaked on a daily basis. Even worse, you have to stay here with your-

What is he?

You think about your relationship with John Egbert.

You are JAKE ENGLISH, and you are currently riding in JOHN EGBERT'S 1971 Corvette Stingray. You have to say, the Americans make fine cars. Of course, you are quite fond of the new Jaguar your mother has purchased. You scoff at yourself out loud after examining your train of thought. You need to learn to keep focused. Now "Mister Egbert" as you call him is a close family friend. Your mother knew him during the war. She had attempted to tell you how exactly they met, but you, being the 'young English ruffian' you are, had skipped out many a time. You smile wide at the sly and witty excuses you had thought up to escape the surely boring and rather long story that awaited you.

A voice on your right stirs you from your state of thought.

"Wake up sleepy head!"

You look to your right. Only one grown man on the entire planet would speak to you that way.

"Implying I was sleeping, Mister Egbert? I assure you my senses are up to snuff and raring to go." You give him a similar grin. You decide to add a wink. Perfect.

He gives you a toothy grin and raises an eyebrow. 'And Americans say the British have bad teeth', you think to yourself. You chuckle at your witty mockery of Mister Egbert's dental cosmetics.

Oops, you said it out-loud.

You hear giggles erupt from the other side of the seat. You narrow your eyes and slide your gaze over to the source. You had forgotten Miss Crocker was there. You attempt to shift your gaze before mushy-

You aren't going to finish that. You abolish further thoughts of the coveted Miss Crocker. You did it again. You must cease thinking this way. You must not cloud your mind with such vibrant fantasies.

Damn your ornate and descriptive lexicon. That one broke the camel's back.

In hindsight, you should have stopped looking at her by now.

Oops X2 Combo
