(Nepeta's pov)
'Why on Alternia did everyone think it was a good idea to explore down here!' I thought to myself as our group made it's way to the labs. The twelve of us were spilt into two groups that Karkat had picked. Our job, "TRY TO FIND SOMETHING USEFUL IN THESE GOG DANM ROOMS." , as he put it. I looked around the hall, How could he expect us to find anything, let alone something useful. I couldn't even see five feet in front of me! And I didn't trust Eridan to light up the place with his, quote, 'wwhite wwand of science.'
At least Equius was there, I was so happy he was in my group. I don't think I could stand being there without him. Karkitty was also present although he seemed less thrilled about it. I could almost feel the anger leaking off of him. I sighed, this whole place creeped me out. I wanted to go back home to my cave-hive but that was impossible now. The game destroyed everything. there was next to nothing left of our world. Even my poor lusus was gone, my friends on the meteor were the last of our race.
My attention wandered off as I thought of all the things that had happended lately. We started the game, ended the world ,I got to met my friends in person, fought the imps, been transported to the meteor, and talked with the humans. As if he knew what I was thinking about Equius stated, "Nepeta one such as yourself sould not be making themself upset." I tried to see his blurry outline through the shadows. "I'm sorry I just couldn't help it...back then it was pawsitively claweful."
I could tell he was shaking his head at my choice of cat puns. I loved cats! Ever scence I was a grub i've wanted to be one. I use to go hunting with my lusus and we would catch prey and bring it back home. What really pissed me off was that everybody except me could purr! Okay, getting back to what I was doing. I pouted back at Equius, even if he couldn't see me. He turned the other direction and started a conversation with Vriska, of all people.
I walked foreward still glaring at the place were Equius's voice was coming from. I failed to notice the person in front of me and ran into him with a small yelp. "WWHAT THE HELL?", was his displeased response. "sorry Ampurra!" I said as I backed up. "Damn it Nep wwatch wwere your goin'!" his tall figure moved off as he walked past me. "Seeeeeeee Eridan you are a waste of space if Nepeta's running into you." Why was it that Vriska hated him?
I knew he was a bit narcissistic, but he had some good points right? "SHUT UP AND GET TO WORK!" Great now they'd gotten Karkat into the argument. I decided it would be a good time to tune them out. "Hey Terezi do you smell anything?" I asked the blind girl leading us. "Black licorice.", she laughed back.
"Also there's a fork in the road up ahead." Maybe she had night vision. Seriously how could a BLIND person tell that from just sniffing around? "Guys I think I just heard something dowwn there." I could tell the fishboy was talking from somewhere around my left side. "Oh please you're just afraid of your own breathing!" "Shut up Vriska I really did hear somthin'!" I thought I should stop this, before they started fighting again.
"Can we purrlease see if there is someonem making noise around here." I said with a hint of fear in my voice. Not that I was afraid, only a little concerned. What if like some type of beast tried to eat us! "I will go being the strongest and of the second highest blood in our group." Karkat sighed at Equius's comment. "TAKE TEREZI WITH YOU SO YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING RETARDED LIKE RUN INTO A FRICKIN WALL." I could see Terezi perk up at the idea of being able to go ahead of the rest of us.
"Okay lets go!", she snickered. She then ran off leaving Equius in the dust. "Teal blood wait for me to catch up." the blueblood followed her into the next hallway. I listened as thier foot falls become less lound and more distant. "wwell guess all wwe can do is wwait."

(Terezi's P.O.V)
That day had been rather interesting for me. First I woke up and went to eat, then the next thing I knew I was down in the labs with a random group of six people. The candy red complainer, the olive cat girl, the blueberry bitch, the dark blue jellybean, and the whiny grape. As of now I was currently running down a pathway that lead to the place that the grape said a strange noise came from.
I wasn't alone, the jellybean wasn't far behind me. You would think he was the blind one at the pace he walked. I wish that we'd find someone, we could hold a court to see if they were guilty of trespassing! I scampered through the hallways, sniffing for anything out of the ordinary.
"As a higher blood I order you to slow your casual gait." He seemed to be having trouble catching up. I stoped for a minute, he took his sweet time trying to find me. "hurry up i'm getting bored." The horse loving man finally halted next to me. "come on I think I can smell a room over that way.", I pointed to my right.
Equius and I entered a room that had a very strange chemical scent to it. I turn to the west of the room. And that was when I smelled it. The most wonderful aroma ever, bright red. I instantly trotted over to that side of the room in search of it. "Terezi do you think we should start on our way back to the others."
I was suddenly out of my red induced trance. "What?...Oh umm...yeah we should be getting back. Wait by the door i'll be right there, I just thought I smelled something is all." I could tell he walked back to the hall area. Time for some searching I had to find that thing!
I let my nose lead me to a large book case at the cornor of the lab. ohhh I got it, really whoever came up with that idea couldn't be more stupid! I dragged half the books out of the the selfs untill I pick the right one. Then I heard a click and after that a few other moving sounds. I knew it, a secret passage way. You couln't hide any thing from the law!
I crawled down the tunnel and slowly made my way to the end. I came face to face with another open area. This one smelled of pure cherry goodness. In the middle of the room I could make out the sizzling of a bubbling beaker. Well what would I do now it was basically begging to be picked up and carried back to the others. So that was what I did!
It made weird slooshing noises as I lifted it up. Only then did I take notice to the stairs at the southern side of the empty room. holding the beaker in my hand I went to go see where they led to. eventually, I got to the last step taking a deep breath I moved on. How did other people know where all the steps were? Apparently the stairs went to a balcony that was just above the other hallyways or so dropping my glasses told me.
Calmly I started to recognize the signature sents of my group. Hmmm so the hallway just led back over there? That's annoying, scratch what I said before whoever made this place was more stupid than the guy who made the bookshelve passage way. I looked down and listen to Vriska getting into a rant about how retarded Eridan was. Why couldn't they just admit to liking each other.
little did I pay attention to the beaker that slowly slipping out of my grasp. Not until it was too late. Next there was a loud crash followed by the burning smell of chemicals. Lastly the absence of my freinds scents.

Terezi, what did you do?
Just kidding I already know, but I don't feel like telling you yet. :)
