Chapter 1: Dave Strider

Dave Wake Up

Dave opened his eyes to the sun shining in his face and someone yelling through his door.

"Dave it's time to open your eyes and rise out of your bed!" Rose said. Dave groaned. Rose slammed open the door of his bedroom and tore the covers off of Dave's bed.

"NOOOOOOO!" He yelled. Dave hissed as the sunlight hit his skin and cringed, covering his face. Rose laughed. Dave wore a pair of simple black boxers and nothing else

"Ewwww Dave! Put some clothes on!" Rose shielded her face.

"I find it ironic that you tell me to get some clothes on, yet you were the one who pulled my covers off?" Dave replied. He blindly groped around his nightstand for his black aviators, taking care not to uncover his face. Rose handed Dave his aviators and he snatched them out of her hand before she could get close enough to see his eye color. After he had his shades on, he slid off of his bed and onto the floor, almost like some type of gooey substance. He found a pair of black jeans and a white long sleeve shirt with red sleeves. The shirt had a picture of a black and red disk on it.

"Hey, can you hand me those shoes over there?" He asked. Dave pointed at a pair of grey converse with white shoe laces. Rose handed him the shoes as he sloppily pulled his pants and shirt on.

"Thanks." Dave replied as he put the shoes on.

"By the way Dave, John told me to repeat to you that he wanted to talk to you later." Rose said. Dave looked up at Rose with an impish grin on his face.

"Oh really? Did he say why?" Dave walked over to the door of his room and strode into the hallway with Rose.

"No, only that he wanted you to go to the park at 5:00 p.m." Rose replied. Dave took a step out of his room and fell backwards as John ran past him at breakneck speed. He stopped at Karkat's door, opening it while saying a few words.
