Your name is Dave Strider and you are in a shitload of trouble. 'Why do I have to be so shitting unlucky?' you think unhappily to yourself as you grasp your sword, facing off against a horde of imps. I mean, there were so many of them you would think it was an ocean of multicolored clown suits with black dots for all of their faces. You begin slicing and dicing the ones around yourself, but you knew it was pointless. You were either gonna be stabbed when you weren't paying attention, or get too exhausted to fight back anymore. You knew your cool might slip if you messed up right now. What i-

You groan, knowing fully well that you should just ignore her messages. You don't though, and see Terezi's familiar text:

You continue to cut the imps around you for several minutes, waiting for Terezi to reply back. After ten or so minutes of waiting, you decide that she gave up on you and are about to terminate the conversation when her text pops up again.
GC: LOOK UP, D4V3. :]
All of a sudden, the sky seems to darken and you can barely see the imps surrounding you. 'What the fuck is this?' you think, and slowly look upwards, expecting to see some clouds just covering up the sun. That is not what you see though. Instead is a giant white reptilian creature with red eyes that somehow remind you of Terezi. Then you notice it is approaching you at a very fast speed. 'I hope she knows what she's doing, bringing that thing to either pick me up or swallow me whole. Not very ironic or cool at all.' you wonder, backing up a couple of inches. The imps, seemingly knowing how bad-ass this thing coming was, retreated to who knows where. You just keep staring at the approaching creature, wanting to stand your ground and keep your poker face up but really kinda itching to follow those imps. You blink rapidly, once, twice, three times. Then you notice the beast was already here, you couldn't run away now.
The white reptile has covered the sun with its muscular wings, but then you notice a black dot on the neck of it, right beside the connecting joint of a wing. You eye the reptile, which seems to look more like a dragon by each passing second. It doesn't try to attack or eat you, so you get closer, trying to see what was atop its neck. When you are close enough to touch its claws, you stop, shocked at what you see. The black blob wasn't a blob at all, but... a chick? You keep your ironic poker face on, but shock should be all over your face. You examine her, trying to make sense of it all. The... girl has gray skin like it had been spray painted on, bright candy-corn colored horns, unruly black hair, sharp teeth like a sharks, strangely shaped red sunglasses, a black shirt with some symbol on it with black pants, and a weird cane with some dragon head resembling the creature. She's giving you the creepiest grin with all her sharp teeth showing, but for some reason you aren't scared of her in the slightest. It seems that you should be. She's also giving you the look like she knows you, and that's the only thing you're worried about. "What are you looking at? Are you gonna come up or not? It was a pain in the ass for my lusus to come here!" She says to you in a expectant and slightly teasing tone. Her voice seems to be the only normal thing about her, but it has a slight crack to it. You seem to enjoy that voice though, because your heart makes a strange sound that makes your cool side very troubled. "Who the fuck are you and why are you dressed up for Halloween?" you say to her. She makes a tsk noise that gives you another feeling in your chest. "I guess you really don't remember when I described myself. I'm Terezi, you fucking idiot coolkid!" Your cool act falters just then, as you look at the person you've had conversations with for the past year. Your mouth opens up into a small 'o' shape. You've finally met her. The girl troll you've come to trust and handle. She's right in front of you now, offering up her hand for you to climb aboard. Now what will you do? :]
