Sorry to the people who knew I was going to post a vampirestuck fanfiction and had to wait (the people who read my last fanfic). I was lazy and kept procrastinating and yeah...sorry. But I'm here now!
"Karkles, did you hear?" Terezi said. "Four families will be moving into town tomorrow."
"So?" Karkat looked up from cleaning his scythe at Terezi.
"We aren't necessarily going to be the ones to deal with them Terezi," Vriska said.
"Yeah, but almost everyone else has gotten to! I bet this'll be our chance to get noticed!"
"You don't get noticed for getting a couple more of us. You get the newbies noticed."
"Whatever. At least we'll have some new friends!"
"Why would they want our group to?" Karkat asked. "We're nothing special."
"We're plenty special! We've got the Headmistress's youngest daughter in our group!" Terezi pointed at Kanaya.
"Terezi, you know my mother favours Porrim over me," Kanaya said. Terezi sighed.
"Look, try to be a little optimistic about this, please?"
"I hope we can go get them!" Nepeta said. "I want more furiends."
"What's wrong with us?" Terezi asked.
"Nothing! That's not what I meant, I-"
"Calm down Nepeta," Equius said. "We know you didn't mean that." He patted her head and she smiled.
"But it would be nice to have new fronds," Feferi said.
"Fine, sure it would," Karkat said. "But don't start getting your hopes up guys."
"C'mon Karkles! You're our leader here! Give us some confidence or something!" Terezi scolded. Karkat sighed and rolled his eyes.
"If you all get your hopes up then when we don't get picked most of you will mope for days and complain a bunch. Just like every other fucking time."
"Joy-kill." Terezi stuck her tongue out at him.
"Hey, I got a stabby message for all of you," Jack said, walking in. Karkat grinned and sat up. He was good friends with Jack, he liked him.
"What is it?" he asked. Jack tossed him an envelope.
"I dunno what it is. I'm just delivering it. And stabbing the competition." He jerked his thumb behind him, where Karkat could hear someone yelling at him.
"You might want to make sure you don't get fired," Karkat said. "Because I dunno how many people they'll take getting stabbed before they kick your ass out of here." Jack just shrugged and walked out. Karkat heard someone yell and he sighed and looked at the envelope. "Hey, it's from Dolorosa."
"Mother?" Kanaya exclaimed, walking over. The others crowded around Karkat as he opened the envelope and read it aloud.
"Team #69, you have been appointed the responsibility of the four families moving into town: Egbert/Crocker, Lalonde, Strider and Harley/English. You will target them tomorrow night at midnight. Remember to bring them to the kittens' wing. Don't mess up."
"Yes!" Terezi cheered. "I told you! I told you!"
"Finally!" Sollux said. Even Karkat grinned as he put the envelope away.
"We'd better get ready guys. I'll split everyone into groups, okay?"
"Yeah! Sounds good!" Terezi said.
"Wait, we got a motherfucking problem here," Gamzee said. "What about Tavbro? He's in no shape to be going outside." Gamzee patted Tavros's head. Tavros was lying down in a bed.
"Yeah, we still have to wait for them to get that wheelchair for him," Terezi said.
"Can't you just fly?" Karkat asked. Tavros shook his head and mumbled under his breath.
"He's too afraid to," Gamzee said. Karkat sighed and nodded.
"Okay, that's fine. That leaves eleven of us. We'll have three groups of three and one group of two."
"Sorry," Tavros mumbled.
"It's fine," Karkat said. Gamzee nodded and whispered to Tavros. Karkat ignored them and thought about teams. I'll have Vriska in the team of two. She's powerful enough that they won't run into any problems. "Okay, here are the teams." Karkat grabbed a pen and paper and wrote the teams down.
Vriska, Aradia: Egbert/Crocker.
Gamzee, Terezi, Feferi: Strider
Kanaya, Sollux, Eridan: Lalonde
Karkat, Nepeta, Equius: Harley/English
"There's profiles of the families in the envelope," Aradia said, pulling four papers out of the envelope. She handed them out to the others and Karkat looked at the profiles for Jade Harley and Jake English.

Not surprising they don't know much about powers. They'd only know if they came from a family with a history of powers, like the Serkets, Megidos, Captors, Nitrams, Peixes and Amporas. Karkat looked at the other profiles as well so he knew what the others would be dealing with.

"This should be a piece of cake!" Vriska said, grinning.
"Yeah, thith shouldn't be too hard," Sollux said. Karkat shrugged and put the profiles down.
"Don't get cocky guys."
"Come on Karkles, they'll be normal until we turn them. We have nothing to worry about!" Terezi said. Karkat sighed and rolled his eyes.
"I know. But get prepared now just in case." Terezi nodded and picked up her cane. The others grabbed their weapons and began making sure they were in good condition. Usually the weapons weren't necessary, but it was a good idea to be prepared. Karkat grabbed his scythe and continued cleaning it. The others were chattering loudly. Karkat smiled to himself as he worked.
"You're definitely excited," Terezi said. "Don't try to deny it Karkles." Karkat rolled his eyes.
"Not as excited as you. Or Nepeta. You look like you're about to bounce off the walls." Nepeta grinned and nodded enthusiastically.
"Of course! We finally get to get some new ones! Mew must be so excited Karkitty! I am!"
"Calm down Nepeta. You have to wait until tomorrow night." Nepeta pouted and Karkat grinned. "Yeah, okay. I'm excited too. Just calm down all of you. We don't want to screw up."
