A/N: Ok so this is going to be a bunch of short stories about how Homestuck might end. Some are sadstuck while others are not. I don't own homestuck bluh bluh bluh. Assuming that Homestuck will end on 4/13 and that I do one per week there will be 13 of these. anyway, let me stop talking and ON WITH THE STORY
One the 13th week of the gigapause, the first ending was created.
Your name is John Egbert and you are currently rejoicing. You did it! At long last you've defeated Sburb. Sure took you long enough.
=== John: Share excitement with friends.
Sure. Why not? They're bound to be happy too! But why do both Karkat and Vriska look so down? Same with the rest of your weird group of awesome aliens. Odd. Whatever. You shall share your excitement nonetheless.
"We did it! We've defeated Lord English! We killed Jack! We've finally won this stupid, stupid, STUPID game!" You say, sounding like the girl fish. What was her name? Fefri? Fefati? Fefwhaleoceanqueen? You can't remember. You'll have plenty of time to get to know her now that the game is won. "We did it. We did it together." Ah yes, sound as cheesy as possible. Make the fan girls squeal. Wait what? What's a fan girl? You've successfully confused yourself. You move on from the odd train of thought on to a new one filled with nothing but happiness.
"No time for your sap now Egbert," a particularly crabby troll says. Leave it to him to make everything a drag. You ignore Karkat's lack of celebration and focus more on his comment. No time? What does he mean? We have all the time in the world.
"He's right," says a butterfly girl who not long ago had scared you with a certain remark about watching our session blow up and burn. Well ha ha to her. You've won now. She's also sort of considered the leader (maybe behind Karkat) and pretty much knows everything, even if she is a bit scary. You caught her name once before. Aradia wasn't it? Why must you be so bad with names?
=== John: Quit being an idiot and find out what they mean.
Good idea. They are being too cryptic. "What do you mean?" you say in the least dumb way possible "We've won? What are we in a rush for?"
"John," Aradia says calmly. "It's time for you to go back to Earth."
=== John: Flip out
You'd like to, but mostly because you've hung out with Strider too much, you keep your cool. "What? No offense Aradia but I'm pretty sure we can't. We kinda, you know, blew it up."
Aradia sighs and gives you a sympathetic smile "That is what you believe isn't it? What we believed at first as well. But it is not. We are running sort on time. I'd just like to first before explaining say thank you for what you have done to our session and what you did to yours. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we got far more attached than expected."
"What?" you say "What do you mean?"
You look at Vriska and for the first time ever she has lost her confidence. She looks as though she is about to break into tears. "John," she says. Her hair is braided yet her eyes are bright and alive "John you don't understand."
=== John: Agree with spider teen
"You're right. I understand absolutely nothing." This is no time to lie and pretend to know what's going on. You wish you knew what was happening.
"John," Vriska says, almost in tears, "you've got to go home."
=== John: Be shocked by this unsurprising, feels wrenching plot development
You don't know what that means but who cares. You're shocked. That's all there is to say. "What? What do you mean? Wait," something clicks in, "were, were you all just using us?"
"No John! We weren't! Don't ever think that," Aradia says. "You see, we had to make some choices, for the sake of ourselves, you, and Alternia. As soon as you began the game, we made some changes. With help from our Seer, Thief, Hero of Space, and Maid we were able to save your world while bringing you here, without harming your home planet. At your own home now you are…what do humans call it? When you aren't dead but you are currently not awake? Half dead? Deadliving…?
"I believe," Kanaya says, walking over, fully God Tier, "you mean they are in a coma."
"Yes! A coma!" Aradia exclaims. "M.s Kanaya do you have the planet?" Kanaya holds out the world, tiny, just like the power Jade wields. "Perfect…" Aradia says. "Now I want you to understand we don't want to do this. We just have to." She takes the planet gently from Kanaya "When you go back, you will all live near each other, your guardians shall be alive and well, worried about you of course. You'll all be friends. You know, that was what I never planned on," she looks up at you, "us becoming friends." She sighs, one of her hands gooing around her ghost boyfriend with the red and blue glasses arms. "Soon you'll be home, alive and well. You, you'll like it there more. Trust me. In the end, we'll just be a memory you all share."
"And," Terezi says, butting in "I'll make sure you won't forget!" She's God Tier too, forcing a smile. Suddenly it drops, "unless of course, you don't want to remember."
"No!" Dave says too fast to be accepted as 'cool,' "I want to keep it. I don't want to forget."
"Alright," she says quietly, "I'll make sure you don't dare forget."
=== John: Become outraged and start next plot development
"Wait! No! Please!" You're yelling, losing your cool, "No! I'm not leaving!" Vriska looks up, hopeful. Then she's angry.
"What is it John! Stop it with giving us false hope! You have to go!" she's yelling too.
"I…I just want you to know I rather stay here, even go to Alternia, than leave you guys." You scan the crowd of trolls you want to get to know better and it pains you. "I would give up my whole world." I say, pointing at our shrunken planet. "Just to be with you 12."
=== John: Be stared at because of outburst for a bit too long
Been there, done that. But now you think you've really let Vriska go. She walks over to Aradia and grabs her shoulder.
"Aradia you've got to let him stay!" she's oddly calm, "or so help me I will kill you again." Oh yeah you forgot your alien crush has previously killed two people here. Huh. "Didn't you hear him? He'd give his whole life away for us! Don't give me anymore bull crap! There has to be away! He wants to stay here with us!"
"Never thought we were that cool," Terezi whispers.
"You're not," Dave whispered back, after seeing her look so disappointed he laughs, "I'm kidding. I'm with Egbert. I'll stay."
"I'll stay." Rose says stepping forward "Perhaps for Kanaya more the others." That earns her a smile and a bit of blush on Kanaya's part.
"I'll stay!" Jade yells, "for all of you. Even you, Shouty." You know she knows Kakat's name perfectly well.
Aradia nods "There…may be a way. We may not have time though."
"Do it!" Vriska says "Please."
=== John: Marvel at the fact Vriska said please
You're too busy! You may be able to stay with your friends at last! You're feeling giddy. You watch as Aradia tries to do whatever she has to do for your sake.
=== John: Feel weird
Hmmmm you do feel weird. Odd. You wonder what it is.
=== John: Tell others
"Guys I feel weird." Everyone looks at you. "I feel…like I'm fading."
"It's starting," Aradia whispers.
=== John: Panic
You are! As is Dave and the rest of your friends. All of you are panicking. Rose is next to Kanaya, hugging her.
"We've gotten too attached," Aradia says solemnly.
"Isn't there anything you can do?" Vriska yells, and Aradia shakes her head. It hurts. You know you're going to be gone soon.
"Vriska," you say, going over to her. You don't know what to say though.
"Too attached?" Rose yells. "For you information Aradia, I fell in love!" Kanaya looks shocked.
"You, you love me?" she says. As Rose nods you she her begin to disappear.
"Rose! Rose NO!" Kanaya shouts. Before Rose is completely gone she screeches out, "I LOVE YOU!"
=== John: Cry at the fact RoseMary has sunk
Uh, bit busy over here. Busy hugging a spider troll with all your strength, as if holding her will keep you from fading away, but you feel yourself leaving.
"Good bye Vriska," you whisper and then you're gone. With all your last strength you yell "Karkat, Vriska, I'll miss you!" then there's darkness.
Then there's light.
Light from a hospital room.
Your dad, looking just as he looked in the game, is sitting next to you.
"Dad…" you whisper, happy to see him alive, yet numb with sadness.
He looks up at you and gasps and yells "Doctor! He's awake!"
=== John: Skip a few weeks into the future.
Kinda like how Dave used to do it. That's all you think about now. The so-called 'dream' you had when in the coma. You're walking to school with Dave, Jade and Rose. You still miss them. The so called figments of your imagination. The aliens from your 'dream.'
"Guys?" you ask. They don't reply. "You all remember right?"To your relief they nod at you. Rose squeezes you hand in reassurance. It doesn't help.
Soon you're in first period, the only class the four of you have together. The teacher comes in smiling. She's always too happy in the mornings.
"Hello class!" she says. "I would like to inform you we have gotten several new students in our grade, four of whom are in this class." New kids. Great. Just what you need. They enter the classroom but you don't even bother to look up.
=== John: Bother to look up
Fine. But why? You look up anyway.
You blink. You have to be dreaming.
You are. There are no trolls in you class room, with black hair, gray skin and weird horns. But you do see a crabby looking kid, a girl with a cane and red glasses, a student with a long red skirt and a student who looks far too much like Vriska…
It's just a trick or you're going crazy. End of story.
"Take a seat!" the teacher says, "just find an empty on!" A girl with red glasses sits behind you next to Dave. Then she says something you can't believe.
"We weren't letting you get away that fast cool kid! Now we're here to stay."
=== John: End Homestuck
Oh but what on earth do you mean?
This is just the beginning.
The End
