The sandbox was his. All of the kids knew that Karkat was always in the sandbox, thats why it was called 'Karkat's Sandbox'. But obviously the new kid had no idea.

"Thats a totally wicked sand castle!" The child exclaimed, looking at the sand fortress with awe.

The boy then proceeded to do the unthinkable, he walked inside of the sandbox.

"What are you, stupid? This is my sandbox! Go away!" Karkat flung a shovel of sand at the boy in a similar manner to how one flings peas off thier spoon.

"Hey! Don't be a big meanie! The sandbox is for everyone!", the unfortuanate child cried out, shielding his spectacled eyes from sand. He then picked up handfuls and flung them at Karkat.

"What are you doing you booger-eating dumb butt? I might get sand in my eyes!"

"My name is not 'booger-eating dumb butt! It's John! John Egbert! And your name is big stupid meanie pants!"

The sand began to fly between the two children, now getting the adults attention. the boys were broken apart, sand in thier hair and clothes.

A few minutes after a stern time-out, A young John Egbert shuffles over to a tiny Karkat Vantas.

"Hi..."

"What do you want, booger brain?"

"I wanted to say i'm sorry for throwing sand at you. I should have asked nicely to play in the sandbox with you..."

"Yeah! You should've!"

"So...I wanted to ask if we could make a really big sandcastle together? I mean, the more people you have working the bigger it gets!"

The shorter boy looked up at the boy with glasses, a grumpy expression. This made John uneasy.

"Only If I get to be the leader!" Karkat finally spoke, the two scrambling for the sandbox.


Years in the future, but not many...


Karkat, now age twenty-one, looked at the sandbox he used to play in as a child. John sat beside Karkat on the bench, now also twenty-one, and holding Karkat's hand. This was the last time the couple would see the sandbox they met in for a while. They were headed to college together, and hopefully still be together afterwards.

"You know...this won't be the last time we see it..." John looked down at the shorter male, who was focused on the sandbox.

"Shut up asshole. This place is really special, and I would like to cherish it before we go." Karkat quickly snapped back, John being immune after all these years.

"..."

"..."

"C'mon Karkat, it's time to go."

"...Alright John."

The two walked away, holding hands. Knowing they would see the place that they first met in the future.


ALTERNATE BAD ENDING:

The two walked away, holding hands. Thinking they would see the place they first met in the future.

But little did they know, a demolition crew came in one week and tore the playground and the sandbox down due to it not being up to safety standards.

When the couple returned to thier homes to see the new playground in place, they were crushed.

But at least they had the memories of thier first meeting.
