You slip into your turquoise, slim fitted dress, trying to look classy as possible. Your hair is nice and short and your glasses are placed upon your nose. Your name is Terezi Pyrope, and you are the smartest, most classy troll in Alternia. You were on your way to a fancy party, hosted by your good friend, Dave Strider. He was clearly the coolest kid to ever walk the face of the earth. You don't usually socialize with the humans, but Dave was and exception. As you close the door to your hive, you check your phone.

Karkat: WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU, STAY AWAY FROM THAT SHITTY HUMAN PARTY

Mmmm, Karkat, The grumpiest of the trolls. After consideration, you decide to reply back;

Terezi: OH QUI3T, YOU. JOHN 3V3N 1NV1T3D YOU. D1D YOU R3J3CT HIM? :O

Karkat: WELL… I DIDN'T EXACTLY REJECT HIM… WHATEVER. THERES NO USE IN TRYING TO STOP YOU.

Terezi: :]

You replied with a smirk. You put your phone in your handbag, and make your way to Dave's.

The room was filled with mainly humans. Co-workers, family, friends. You were greeted by Dave himself.

"Glad you could make it, Terezi." It looks as if he was looking far off into space with his badass sunglasses. It was rather distracting, to be honest. But you aren't one to talk.

"'Wouldn't miss it for the world." You say, snickering. Dave was called away, and you go for the wine. There, you meet the one, the only, Vriska Serket. Might as well make use of your time and talk to her before she pesters you. But first, you decide to reward yourself with a glass of wine. With glass in hand, you approach the spiderbitch.

" Heeeey- Vriska. Nice to see you here." You say, with your casual snicker.

"Oh, hey Terezi. Let me guess, Dave?" She asks, barely even looking at you.

You nod. "John?" She nods back. Curious, you sneak up slightly behind her, and take a whiff. You smelt Kanaya. No, Rose. NO! Both! So THIS is why Vriska was so distracted! "You upset about them?" Vriska closes her eyes, and shakes her head rapidly.

"No, if Kanaya wants Rose… Then so be it." Vriska had trouble getting the words out. It sounded painful. Of course she was lying, no doubt. After the subject was changed (and a few more drinks,), you two were in full conversation. Even though you hated her at times, Vriska wasn't that bad. Though, her gaze always returned to Kanaya. After the millionth time, you ask;

"Why not try Tavros?" Vriska suddenly entered her Full-Blush Mode.

"What do you mean?" She asks in a snappy tone.

"If you can't have Kanaya, why not Tavros?" You repeat. Vriska shakes her head.

"It's… Complicated."

"You already smooched him once." You remind her. She elbows you.

"That was different." She said, closing the subject. After all was said and done, the party was over. You said your farewells, and took your walk home. As you walk, you spot one of your pals, Gamzee Makara. To no surprise, he was waiting by the ocean. You decide to approach him. Placing your boney hands on his shoulders, you speak;

"Waiting for Seagoat Dad?" He replies with a nod.

"Yeah, motherfucker's taking forever to get home." He says with a frown, knowing he probably won't come home. Poor thing.

"Oh," You say. You admire how the moon is right over the horizon of the sea. It really is beautiful. "Hey, mind if I stay here for a bit? Kinda tired of walking." He nods; happy someone would like to stay with him. You sit down. His face was as stoned as ever. It was pretty funny, to be honest.

"So…" He says, trying to spark up a convo. "Why you all up and fancy?"

"I was at one of Dave's parties." You answer. He cringes at hearing his foe's name.

"Oh." A few moments of silence, then he said; "I think I'll go now, Seagoat Dad isn't coming home tonight…" He sighed. You frowned. He got up and got hold of your hand, pulling you up with him.

"Thanks," You reply. "Sorry you couldn't find your dad."

"Nah, it's cool." He says, when it's obviously not. You give him a slight hug, and go your way. As you're walking away, you happen to notice he's walking a different way than usual. Scenic Route?

You enter your hive, tired as fuck. You need sleep. Right when you take off your glasses and lay your head down… There goes the phone. You groan, then pick it up.

NEW MESSAGE: Gamzee

Gamzee? He barely pesters you…

Gamzee: BrO… pLeAsE cOmE hElP mE oUt… :o(

Oh dear, heaven knows what the issue is when Gamzee has his sad face.

Terezi: B3 R1GHT TH3R3

You slip on your normal day apparel, and head outside to find Gamzee.

It didn't take long to find him, hunched over, crying. You run over to him. He had rust-orange blood on his fingertips. Your lip quivers, knowing whose it was. You make your way to Gamzee's front. He had the blood on his lips, no, his entire bottom half of his face. The indigo tears mixing with the blood. You look down to smell poor ol' Tavros Nitram. You hold back tears, dropping a few. He was nearly split in half, with a gapping hold in his stomach. Gamzee looks up at you.

"I tried to get him to wake up, but he won't fucking do it." He said with pain. "Why won't he wake up, Terezi?" You touch the corpse' head, collecting some of the blood.

"He's dead…" You manage to say. You hear a squeak from Gamzee trying to hold back tears. Gamzee held the dead body in his arms, holding on for dear life. It really was a painful scene to watch.

"No he's not, he can't be, he so much to live for." He sobbed, stroking Tavros' hair. "I wish you'd wake up, bro. I need you to wake up." He whispered in the corpse' ear. You kneel down beside him and place an arm on his shaking shoulder.

"He's in a better place now." You reassure him, with a weak smile, for you had leaked a few tears also.

"Everyone says that, he would rather be frolicking around with his new robotic legs, or writing some sick rhymes… "He says softly. You decided not to reply and let him have his last moments with his best bro. After a while, Gamzee finally speaks up. "I called because I want to know who motherfucking did this. Knowing you is good with smelling and stuff. I was hoping you could investigate." He wipes away tears.

"Of course I would! Tavros was one of my friends also. And whoever did this is sure to get a damn good ass kickin'!" You tell him, with an eager smile on your face.

"Thank you so much Terezi." He smiles. You grab his hand pulling him up. He dropped the dead body.

"Oops," You say. You stand beside Gamzee and strike a pose, still holding his hand. "We'll do this together!" You say as if you were in some children's anime. Gamzee laughs, still dripping tears.

"Yea! Motherfuckers beware!"
