I can't claim that no one has felt as much pain and loss as I have, seeing as there are at least five others on this blasted planet that felt just as much as me. I can, on the other hand, claim to be feeling the worst for this. I was in charge of them, making sure they were safe and made the right moves, but I felt that y most important job was to keep my crazy as fuck moirail in check. I failed though. Half my team was killed, half my team had been the reasons for their deaths, and my moirail lost it big time.

That doesn't matter now!, shouted my extremely rude thought pan. Stupid thing is always cutting off one thought with another. Well fuck it, I suppose it's correct. The new Earth is prepared for all of this, well, at least a part of it is. Those lucky readers of the webcomic "Homestuck". Dave had told the so called "story" to an artist, who twirled our tale out into a six part long thing, that thousands of teens are currently reading. That's good for them I guess, they are far more prepared for this cruel fate. It is a bit depressing when the human's are writing love stories between the living and the dead, the dead and the dead, or even the living and living when you think of everyone's outcome.

I think the ones that depress me most are the ones between the autistic troll, Nepeta, and I. Once they heard the story of our ancestors, they got it into their heads that she loved me, and her love was unrequited. That was quite untrue. I adored the sweet girl with as much love as I felt for every other troll.

That's another thing. I didn't hate any of them, they were my friends, you just don't hate friends. I was stressed and tired, that was all. I don't think I could hate any of them, especially not when entails what it does for us trolls. I will never remove Gamzee from my moirail quadrant either. Terezi and I will just have to maintain an average friendship from now on though. Me and her both came to that conclusion.

I have messaged Dave multiple times to ask the Hussie guy to make things look less bad for me, but he keeps shrugging it off and saying it gets people more into the story, and that it's okay because the only people who really need to know about the true me already do. Every time we come to that part of the conversation I just huff out and sigh and get over it.

The loud ding my computer lets off causes me to stop my internal suffering and look up.

TC: hey there my BEST MOTHERFUCKING BRO.

CG: HEY GAMZEE.

TC: i've gotten all up and BORED MYSELF to death. Wanna meet up with some old bros and HANG THE FUCK OUT?
CG: SURE. I CAN GET KANAYA AND SOLLUX, YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE ELSE. WE CAN ALL MEET AT THE PARK BY MY PLACE.

TC: cool motherfucker :o)

I grin when I see his creepy clown smile. I had no idea why he brought that old habit up again. Actually I did have a few ideas as to why, he told me he thought that Sollux, Eridan, Nepet, Equis,and Vriska's returns had been "motherfucking miracles brother". I chuckle at the thought, and thought none of them were really the same, I too felt it was some weird miracle. It isn't everything, but it definitely is something.
I heard another ding from my computer, and as soon as I saw who it was from, I sat up tall, just like he always wanted.

EB: Hey Karkat!
CG: HELLO EGBERT.
EB: Not too long before the after affects begin, if Rose's calculations are anything to go by! Apparently we will be meeting again in about six days. Isn't that great?

CG: OH GOD, I ONLY GOT A THREE SWEEP BREAK FROM YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE HUMANS.
EB: Hey! We only got to really see each other once! This is cool for me. :(
CG: YEAH, OKAY, SORRY. I'M JUST STARTING TO FREAK OUT AGAIN, WORRYING ABOUT WHAT IS TO COME. YOU KNOW?
EB: Sure, I GUESS SO.
EB: Fuck, I mean guess so. No caps.

EB: Anyways, it'll be cool to see you again.
CG: Yeah.

CG: I have to go man, I need to contact some old buds, we have some preparations to make.
EB: Okay, bye Karkat.
EB: Wait! Crap! I forgot to mention something!

carcinoenecist [CG] ceased pestering egbert [EB]

EB: Fuck, I'll tell you later.

I turned off my computer and reached across my desk for the small black communication device, unplugging it from it's charger.

I sent a message to Kanaya and Sollux regarding the event, then ditched my room to go make some food in my kitchen. Might as well have some food for this little event. I put on a tea kettle and a pot of water onto my stove to boil for ravioli.
Rose had taught me how to cook back when we were all trapped together on the asteroid, before the new planets set into place and before we had learned we were going to have this whole thing repeat again, and that this was actually the natural order of things.
My phone vibrated in my jean pocket, which of course sent me flying about six feet into the air before I had realized it was only my cellular device. Two texts from Sollux, a single reply from Kanaya, and a message from... Dave? What the fuck does he want?
After reading the insults and acceptance from Sollux, then the simple acceptance from Kanaya I read the text from Dave.

TT: Hey, I'm pretty sure future me will be there in about ten minutes.
CG: WHAT MAKES YOU SAY SO?
TT: I penciled you into my mental calender. So me from ten days in the future should being seeing you from about ten minutes from now.

TT: You should feel honored, I hardly ever do this.
TT: In fact, I never do this.

CG: OH. MY. GOG. DO YOU EVER SHUT YOUR FLAP?
TT: So being blessed by this coolkid presence is a big deal.

CG: OH FUCK YOU.
CG: YOU ARE NO COOLER THAN WHEN YOU "BLESSED" US WHEN WE WERE ALL A BUNCH OF GRUBS.
TT: I'm sure you would ***LOVE*** to fuck me Vantas. Maybe you'll get lucky.

TT: Maybe future me might have some seriously low standards. Seriously, seriously low.
TT:You know what, I think I will future kiss you, just to keep your trap shut.
CG: YOU WOULD THEN RECEIVE A SHIT TON OF WHINY MESSAGES ASKING WHERE THE FUCK YOUVE GONE AND WHY YOU ARE NOT ANSWERING YOUR COMMUNICATION DEVICE.
CG: IT WOULD BE ENDLESS. THE WHINING THAT IS.
CG: I WOULD MAKE SURE YOU HEARD IT TOO.

CG: ALL DAY.
CG: EVERYDAY.
CG: EVERYFUCKINGDAY.
TT: Holy fuck man. I didn't know you were gliding my way.

CG: WHATEVER, MAKE SURE TO REMEMBER THAT THE OTHER TROLLS AND I ARE PLANNING TO MEET AT THE STRANGE "PARK" FOR A FRIENDLY GET TOGETHER BEFORE SHIT HITS TO AIR BLOWERS.

TT: Kay, see you whenever.

CG: BYE.

The pot had begun boiling, so I flung the ravioli into the hot water. I started to dig through some cupboards for the traveling food compartments, and while doing so, a knock sounded at the front door of my house. Dave? All ready?

I reached across the kitchen counter for my sickles, I still always needed to be on the safe side thanks to my mutant blood, so this was purely out of habit. So was sneaking a peek through the blinds by my window. I could really only see the top of someone's head by doing this, but it was still something. This current head had some very pale hair. Definitely not troll hair.

I grinned and reached for the door, but of course before I could even open it, Dave stomped in like the ass hole he was. "Well hello ass ho- Ack!" I choked off as Dave pulled me into an extremely sudden, and probably by his standards, awkward kiss. then pulled back with a smirk on his face.
"I told you I would kiss you. Now quit making fish faces and lets head on up to that park."

I grumbled moodily and after fetching the tea and ravioli that Dave decided to mock me endlessly about, we headed off towards the park. I looked up at the albino's face and couldn't help but wonder what the next gene'ration SBURB gods were doing. Were they having strife sessions with their siblings? Playing fierce pranks on innocent bystanders? Lovingly petting a cat or dog? Silently observing the behavior of some random human?
