Later...
"So Fef, what pathetic land dweller are we seein' today?" Eridan asked as he scratched his arm a little. Feferi shot him a glare.
"Eridan, you be nice! i want you to promise to not fight with him!" she lectured. Eridan sighed and scratched at his neck. Feferi had told him this no less than ten times on the way here.
"Okay…" he mumbled. He then scratched his other arm. "Ugh! I hate it up here! It's always so dry and filthy…and it's not…helpin'!" He then began clawing at his arms and back before Feferi grabbed his hands with and iron grip.
"Whale, maybe it would help if you stopped scratching!" she reprimanded. Eridan sighed still fidgeting a little. They then got to their table at the place they were going to get drinks at. Eridan grumbled.
"I hate scalin'! And I hate this time of the sweep!" he groaned. Feferi gave him a sympathetic look. She then waved over to someone.
"Eridan please promise no weapons will be raised," she repeated.
"Fef, you said this like a million times. What–" he was cut off when he saw Sollux.
"What the fuck?!" Sollux said.
"Oh hell no!" replied Eridan. Eridan stood up.
"Stop!" Feferi yelled, "Can you two just have a decent conversation with me without blowing up the place?!" The two sighed.
"Fine…"
"Whatever…"
"Good. Now let's sit down and enjoy our beverages," she said. The two obeyed but still glared each other down. They were able to talk for a while about Sollux's problem. While the two were distracted, Eridan kept secretly scratching himself. He had eventually tuned out the conversation. It was just so itchy and irritating. And if Sollux saw…ugh! he'd never hear the end of it.
"Eridan?" He jumped.
"What?"
"Do you want to help?" Feferi asked.
"Um…yes sure," he stuttered even though he had no idea what she just said. She smiled.
"You two are getting along better than I thought," she said.
"Okay, something's up," said Sollux, "Did you hit your head on a boat today fish face? You just seem out of it." Eridan scowled.
"Not…in the mood Sol…" he growled.
"What's his problem?" Sollux asked. Feferi sighed.
"It's a seadweller thing Sollux. You wouldn't understand," she said. The two continued an unrelated subject. Ugh, why did I even go with her?! This is torture. He felt his hand scratching his arm again on impulse. Feferi looked away from Sollux did two seconds. She had eyes like a shark. Eridan however didn't notice.
"Eridan!" she scolded, "Are you scratching again?!" He blushed.
"N-No…" he lied.
"Eridan give me your arm," she commanded. Eridan didn't move. "Eridan!" She grabbed his arm and lifted his sleeve. Feferi gasped. There was a huge patch of violet scales glittering on his arm. They were almost covering the entire arm.
"I know…it's bad. I'm sorry. I just caved in!" he whimpered.
"Holy shit! What kind of rash is that?!" Sollux said.
"Around this time of year, many seadwellers start scaling. Our skin begins to itch and irritate us and if we scratch scales appear," Feferi explained, "Eridan has areally rough time during the second spring. His skin is already sensitive on land too. And I keep telling him to not scratch!"
"If you were a sea dweller, you wouldn't last a day!" Eridan spat. Sollux laughed.
"Are you kidding me? I'd be a sea dweller any day! With your money and your social status, I'd trade it all in a heartbeat," he replied, "You guys have it MADE. No need to worry about any needs or money! Poof! Right there!"
"Oh please! You'd be covered in scales by now!" Eridan growled, "And besides, you can't even swim!"
"But if I can breathe underwater, it wouldn't matter," he said, "I'm going to use the load gaper." He then stood up and left. Eridan laughed a bit.
"What a lowblood vernacular," he said, "Seriously Fef, what do you see in this guy?"
"You can clam it," she said. She looked out the window. Eridan double checked to see if anyone was coming. He made his move. He looked again at Feferi. He smiled. The overconfident prick won't know what hit him.
Sollux then returned. Eridan smiled. He chuckled a bit.
"What's so funny asshole?" Sollux asked.
"Oh nothin' a land dweller like you would understand," he said. Sollux glared at him as he finished his drink.
_
Sollux had a health mask over his nose and mouth and was on the roof.
"Sorry, there will be fish tomorrow," he said, "but will you please eat this? You love mind honey." The bicyclops looked at the substance before greedily ingesting it. Sollux smiled. "Feel better?" he asked. He heard complaining from his lusus' stomachs. He was then sprayed with a yellow fluid. He sighed. "You are. The worst," he said. He then wiped off his face with a rag and removed the mask. He then felt hands on his back.
"Boo!" He screamed. He looked behind him.
"AA, how did you get into my hive?" he asked.
"You left your door unlocked," she said. He sighed.
"I need a bath," he said. She looked at him confused. "Ah, sorry. I've been hanging around sea dwellers all day." She nodded. He explained to her his situation.
"Oh that sucks," she said, "Why don't you use that fancy 'bath tub' of yours?" He smiled.
"Hey aa, it's been a while since I saw you," he said, "How about a hug?"
"Get away!" she said, "You're all sticky and smelly!"
"Come on just a hug?"
"No! Hose off!" He started running. She tried to run but Sollux had already caught up. "Ugh! Sollux stop!" She was now covered in the substance. "I swear this mind honey is going to be the end of me." The two then laughed. He sighed.
"Seadwellers have it made," he said, "But I'd rather be mutant blooded than live in the sea. The land suits me better." She smiled.
"Me too. But then again, I wouldn't mind being able to breathe underwater," she replied, "Who knows what I could dig up underwater?"
"Well, do you want to rinse off now?" he asked.
"Yeah. That sounds like a good idea," she replied.
"You should rinse off too," he said.
"I have an Ablution trap at home," she said.
"Does it dispense water?"
"...no."
"Then you will shower here," he said.
"Okay, but you're more disgusting so you shower first," she replied.
"Okay," he said. He entered the bathroom first.
"Sollux I'm stealing a shirt!"
"Okay!" he called. The two were almost the same size and closer to each other than they were to any other troll. He entered the shower and tried his best to rid his body of the wretched yellow fluid. He was then somehow lost in the warmth of the water. He felt a warm and incredible feeling. But he knew the hot water wouldn't last long. And neither did the feeling. He suddenly felt excruciating pain in his lower abdomen. It was as if he was stabbed in the stomach. He tried to ignore it, but the pain kept getting worse and worse. It got to the point where couldn't even stand. "Aradia…" he hoarsely called. She was probably in the kitchen raiding his meal vault by now. He just curled up on the floor of the shower.
Later…
Aradia banged on the door.
"Sollux! You've been in there for thirty mintues!" she called, "Everything okay?" There was silence. Not even the hissing of the shower. "Sollux?" She thought she heard a moan. "I'm coming in."
"No wait!" She stopped. "W-Wait until I'm decent." She waited. She heard sounds of pain from inside. "Okay good enough."
She opened the door. The room had been steamy at one point, but had now cooled. Sollux was now curled up on the floor in his shirt and bee boxers. He was still wet. His face was twisted in anguish.
"Sollux? What happened?!" she asked.
"My stomach…" he rasped.
"Do you feel sick?" she asked. He shook his head. "Can you stand?" He shook his head. "Want me to move you to the couch." He nodded. She scooped him up in her arms and carried him to the couch. "It feels like a knife is ripping through my stomach," he said. She set him on the couch.
"You're not warm…" she said, "Maybe it was something you ate?"
"Or drank…" he sizzled in anger, "Agh! It was that stupid chumbucket! He must have slipped something into my smoothie!"
"Eridan?" she said, "Figures he would."
"AA hand me my husk top," he requested. She retrieved the computer. "Thanks. You can go shower," he said. She left as Sollux logged on to Trollian.

Sollux sighed. He did feel his stomach getting better though. Aradia then walked in.
"Want me to stay with you?" Aradia asked.
"I think I'll be okay," he said, "I'm starting to feel better." She smiled.
"Bye Sollux! Get well soon!"
"Bye AA." She then exited his hive.
