AN: well! Here's my newest story! Based off an OTP tumblr prompt I stumbled upon whilst adventuring the Jadekat tag on tumblr, and this happened! This was supposed to be a little one-shot sorta thing, but being stuck on 'Im Not Alright' I figured I could take a quick breather and start another story :3 the major ship is Jadekat obviously, with mild davesol and a bromance between Dave/Sollux/Karkat/John. I'm gonna keep the rating T, but be mindful that Karkat does use a lot of language and stuff. If needed I can change the rating. Also; this is a human-stuck AU sorta thing where the trolls know their trolls but they just appear human :3 And for now; enjoy the first chapter!

"Sollux you good-for-nothing, ass-munching, bulge-sucking FUCK! GET GAMZEE OFF ME ALREADY!" I yelled from under the juggalo up to the troll whom abducted my computer chair and messed with my blog entry.

"Doethn't matter, KK, it'th already pothted!" Sollux smirked down at me, snickering. "Alright, GZ, you can get off him!" Gamzee grinned and rolled off my back, but before I could throw myself over to strangle my best friend, Jade called the three of us from down the hall.

Gamzee threw his fists up into the air "let's get our wicked motherfuckin campout on, Karbro and hit the road already!" He hooked his arms around my waist, throwing me over his shoulder with way too much ease and started running down the hall.

"Put me down you fucking clown, I have working legs you know!"
Well I got what I wanted, in the form of Gamzee tossing me halfway across the front room and onto the couch with a mute 'thud'. Laughter filled the room as I sat up, glaring at the Juggalo before he vaulted over the couch to Tavros. Sollux made his way out from the hall and to the side of Dave in an instant. As I was scanning the sea of ex-troll-humans, my eyes met with Jade, whom was grinning in my face, laughing.

"There you are Karkat~! We've been waiting for you! Let's go everyone!" She grabbed my wrist and hauled me off the couch and out the door after everyone, whom went to their respective vehicles. Our huge group was comprised of all the trolls I played Sburb forever ago, plus the four kids we all messed with, so it was a rather large group of people, and that wasn't even the half of it. Jade and Rose got their sibling/ecto-parents/whatever-the-fuck-they-are-to-them to gather up all the trolls from the OTHER session to go on this huge field trip to a park way down by Eridan and Feferi's place to spend the holiday with. Apparently the fourth of this month is a special thing for humans? Who knows.

Jade then called out to Sollux, who was about to climb into Dave's car, "Hey Sollux! Mind driving for us? I haven't gotten my permit renewed and Karkat still won't go learn~" she nudged my side and smiled. "If you don't mind, of course!"
Sure enough, the ex-troll locked eyes with me and smirked widely. "Th'ure, Jade, I'll drive ya!" He popped his head into Dave's car and closed the door, jogging over to us. He shot me a smug look and opened the backseat door with a bow. "Your carriage await'th, Mi'lady."

Jade laughed and hopped into the back, settling into her seat eagerly and messing with her dress before buckling in. I followed suit, glaring at Sollux up until he closed the door and I got situated. He got into the drivers seat and started the car with a 'whoop'.

"Hella huge party here we come!" Jade announced loudly, and Sollux cranked up the stereo on some radio station. I heaved a sigh and glared out the window, preparing for a very torturous four hour drive.

•••••

Well I can't complain much about the car ride, since I ended up falling asleep somehow halfway through the trip. The park was surrounded by a huge lake, which was pretty cool I guess. Jade woke me up by pleasantly dragging me out of the car before she ran off to Feferi, Kanaya, Rose, Aradia and Nepeta. They were all going to go around and gather up electronic devices apparently so we didn't take away from the camping experience. Oh well, Jade got to my phone and iPod in the car so I could care less.

Seeing how most of my friends had already found places with groups and all, I just found a tree to go sit under and doze for a while, watching the sunset across the water. I sat there for who knows how long, and was startled by Jade as she wrapped her arm around mine, smiling at me gently. I returned her smile, kissing her lightly on the forehead (she loves it when I do that) to make her blush.

"You know, it's not long until the fireworks start! It's almost dark enough out. So let's go eat before they do?" She tugged me off towards the throng of people that was our group eagerly. I caved, getting up off the ground to be dragged along by her. Her and I piled a plate full of food and went to sit in the back of Rufioh's truck to eat, waiting for the fireworks to start.

I'd never sent them before, and every time I asked Jade what they were she'd just tell me to wait and see, so I was pretty anxious around now, and I definitely wasn't expecting them when they started. The first one went off and I yelped, clutching to Jade and almost knocking our food plate over in the process. She only burst out laughing and held me for a few minutes as I watched the fireworks proceed to explode in the air. Everyone around us, a lot of people came to campout and see the fireworks apparently, started cheering and whooping alongside the show. Just after a minute or two, I let go of Jade and watched them for myself, completely mesmerized by how the rockets made all these different colors and shapes, though a lot of them were just the round shapes and all, it was actually pretty cool. Jade wrapped her arms around my waist, and I put mine around her shoulders about halfway through the show. We sat there the rest of the time, up until the finale, where all the fireworks are crazy loud and colorful and all, which had Gamzee cheering like a madman. When they were all said and done, Jade hugged me and smiled.

"So how'd you like that?"

I nodded, looking out to the wisps of smoke that still floated in the air from the fireworks. "I liked it, a lot,"

She giggled softly and swung her legs off the end of the tailgate. "You know what they're for? They symbolize when America became free from Britan, waaaaay long ago, on the 4th of July! It's a really big deal and all, or at least I think so," she scrunched up her nose a little "I didn't celebrate this day a lot when I lived on my island, anyways, there wasn't anyone to really celebrate with!" She shrugged and smiled again. "Come on, lets go get our tent set up!" She hopped off the tailgate and waited for me as I followed suit before she took off running across the grass.

"Jade! Wait up!" I called after her, running to catch up behind her as she stopped at the trunk of her car, where she squealed and chased me around the car a few times before I caught her and we tumbled to the grass in a heap of laughs and smiles.

Though, we did eventually get our tents set up like everyone else in our group, and we all settled in for the night around 11:00. Jade and I cuddled up together on our little air mattress and blankets as she started humming softly, which eventually lulled us both to sleep.
