I don't care if somebody already has taken the AU 'Schoolstuck', it's not actually an AU and I couldn't think of anything else to name it.

Also, after writing this I re-read Homestuck partially and found out that Terezi at least actually knew what school was, but innacuracies aside, I personally had fun writing this.

Enjoy~!

John woke up and smacked his alarm clock abruptly to stop its incessant buzzing. He groaned at the thought of another day at school.

He got up and prepared for the day, and then went to his computer to quickly check Pesterchum before the bus arrived.

Jade, Dave, and Rose were all offline. He then glanced quickly at his trollslum. He blinked. Karkat, Terezi, Vriska... well, they weren't as bad as he had thought—before his life depended on them that is.

He then proceeded to remove all of the trolls from their slum, and proceeded to grab his backpack and head out the door, down the block, and to the bus stop.

He sighed. He wished slightly that his life could go back to the way it was... before Sburb, but no. Now he was headed off to school—John's train of thought came to a screeching halt.

He was headed off to school. He wasn't currently in the Medium, fighting for his life. He shook his head. What was going on? Was all of that a dream? He cringed as he realized he hadn't looked at the calendar before he had left. That might have been a big hint as to what was going on.

The bus pulled up in front of him, like it was supposed to. He sighed. Maybe he'd figure things out later, after school. He walked on to the bus, looking for an empty seat. He smiled. There was an open seat next to Rose! As he sat down next to her, she gave him an odd look.

"heya, rose! you wouldn't believe the dream i had last night! you were in it, and—" Rose's expression suddenly made sense. "you never went to school with me. you live on the east coast..." He realized aloud.

Rose raised an eyebrow. "So I guess this means you have about the same amount of knowledge on our current situation as I do?"

John nodded. "when did you notice things were weird?"

"...When I woke up in my home. And you?"

"ehehe... just now. " Rose rolled her eyes. "but i did have my suspicions before boarding the bus!"

The bus came to a halt and everyone started pouring out. Rose started watching the other kids walk by with a solemn look. "It's so strange... seeing other humans again."

John nodded. "but really fun too!" He then gave Rose one of his signature goofy grins. As they stepped off the bus, they heard somebody yelling.

Rose sighed. "Even though it's nice to see a healthy Earth society again..." she sneered.

John looked over to see what the commotion was about, and frowned. There was a girl who looked oddly familiar hiding behind some similarly familiar blonde dude who was yelling at some kid with black hair... grey skin, and candy-corn colored horns. Huh.

"...OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS YOUR FAULT! WE'VE NEVER EVEN SET FOOT ON THIS PLANET!" Yelled the grey-skinned kid.

"look for the last time i don't know what happened" replied the blonde one.

"...Dave?" Rose yelled at the blonde kid.

He turned around, and waved. "hey rose"

The kid with grey skin looked over at John and Rose, and groaned. "OH GOG. NOT YOU TOO."

The girl smiled and waved at them. "rose! john! hiii! "

John blinked. "dave? and... uhh... jade?" The girl, or rather, Jade, nodded. John then looked at the kid with grey skin. "then you must be... " the kid watched John expectantly. "terezi?"

"AAAAAUUUUUGH! ARE YOU REALLY THAT—"

John laughed. "haha! no, i'm just kidding. you're karkat, right?"

Karkat snarled. "YES. NOW TELL ME, WHERE THE HECK ARE WE!"

John blinked. "...school." Karkat raised an eyebrow. "...you know... where you learn stuff?"

Karkat sneered. "WHY WOULD YOU NEED A PLACE TO LEARN? ARE YOUR GUARDIANS TOO STUPID TO TEACH YOU ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW?"

"no, that's just homeschool. here we get... uhh... a social experience?"

"K4RK4T! TH3R3 YOU 4R3!" Shouted a girl, whom John was then able to recognize as Terezi.

"TEREZI, YOU'RE HERE TOO?"

"Y34H, WH3R3V3R 'H3R3' 1S..." She then looked at Dave. "D4V3, YOUR SH1RT. YOU'R3 W34R1NG 4 R3D SH1RT."

"wow" He said, taking a step back. "you really are terezi"

"H3H3H3, Y34H." She opened her mouth as if to say something—or lick Dave—when a bell started to ring from inside the school.

"ahhhhhhhh! we're gonna be late!" John yelped.

"...LATE TO WHAT? SCHOOL?"

"yes!" he then slapped his forehead. "and i don't even know my schedule!"

"it's cool", said Dave calmly. "we've never gone to this school before we need schedules anyways" "you could just go down to the office and get yours too"

Jade smiled. "wow! i'm going to school! i've never gone before, but i saw it on tv and it looks fun!"

"you would say that being raised by a dog and all" Dave said in a flat tone. Jade smiled.

...

"OKAY, ALL OF THESE ADULT HUMANS ARE REALLY FREAKING ME OUT." Karkat whispered as they left the office.

"i can assure you, they have no intention on killing you." John said, sighing with irritation.

"SO HOW DO3S TH1S SCHOOL TH1NG WORK?"

"well, you go to each of those classrooms when the teacher tells you to. now we're going to the class that has the one by it, first period."

"I THINK I GET IT."

"and do what your teacher says."

"did anyone else find it strange that they have schedules for all of us? "

"We're on earth and it's not destroyed. Anything else strange to point out?"

"touche"
