A new chick walks into town, wearing a white dress, her pink hair down her back, matching pink shoes, and backpack slung over her shoulder. She looks around 13, Dave Strider notices this of course and thinks to himself, Wow, she's hot... Wait did I seriously think that? Arg, play it cool Strider!

He walks over and says, "Sup babe, mind telling me your name?"

She responds, "I'm Diane. Who're you?"

"I'm Dave. Ya wanna come over to my place"

Wow, I just met him and now he wants to take me home. "Well, I got nowhere to stay. I guess I'll have to stay with you."

Dave smiles and says, "So where are you from?"
"New Jersey"
They then walk to Daves apartment. Dave unlocks the door and sees a bunch of puppets on the ground. "Dirk, keep the smuppets in your room will ya?!"

"'Kay bro." He walks in and sees Diane. "Who's this chick?"

"She's Diane. She's gonna stay in the guest room starting today."

Dave leads Diane to her new room and tosses her backpack on the bed. She takes out some Gushers and opens them. While she's snacking on them, Dave comes in with another kid who says, "Wow, she likes Gushers too?"

Dave responds, "Apparently, John."

They then proceed to introduce her to some of their friends, who introduced more. In total she met 5 more kids and 24 trolls. The next morning, Diane wakes up with a note at the foot of the bed.

Yo Diane! Wanna go to the diner nearby with me? I'm paying. -Dave

She goes into the living room and sees Dave on the couch. "To answer your question Dave, sure I'll go to the diner." He turns around and grins. Hours later, they go to the diner. Dave pulls out some heart-shaped shades and hands them to Diane.

"Thanks Dave, I love 'em," She says as she puts them on. They eat, Dave pays, and they walk home, holding hands the whole way.

When they step into the apartment, Dirk sees them holding hands and says, "So bro, she's your girlfriend now?"

Diane answers for him, "Yes." Then she kisses Dave.

The next morning, Karkat comes over. The Strider brothers go out on the roof to strife. Karkat and Diane sit on the couch. Diane offers him some apple juice but he declines. They make small talk for a bit until the topic of John comes up. "Well he has great taste in movies. And it's kinda impossible not to be his friend," Karkat says.

"Wait, you like John?! You two are the ONLY ones who watch that shit. I know ya like John!"

Karkat shooshes her just before a beat up Dave walks in with a smirking Dirk behind him. "That is the 413th time you've lost Dave."

Diane cleans up his cuts and bandages them. The next couple weeks pass uneventfully with Dave and Diane going on another date. Their 3rd date wasn't really special. The way home was though. Dave gave her a box of chocolate, which she ate. That night, instead of going to her room, she got in Dave's bed. They cuddled and eventually fell asleep. She slept with him every night and soon Valentine's Day came. Dave told her to follow him and she did. Dave led her to the pet shop where she saw a cute, fluffy pomeranian. He bought it for her and she named it Valentine. Everything was perfect.
