CHAPTAR TWO YAY!
I write this in colors, if anyone was curious to learn about. The PesterChum scenes have their ChumColors and all that, and certain characters (Like the radio or Maya's handwriting) have their own color. Sorry you guys don't get to see that.
Speaking of Maya's handwriting, it's in a completely different font and in a real big font, too. I don't know what's going to happen with that, will it be just plain, black, and shrunken text? Very curious to see how it looks.
Disclaimer: Honestly, if I owned Homestuck, it would be completely different than how it is…just…why would I write a fanfic on something I've made?
Wait…
Okay, on with the story!
BEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
The radio began to play: "~Head under wa~ater…and you tell me, to be easy…"
Knock Knock! John was half asleep, just waking from his slumber. It's a chillingly comfortable morning from old February again. Sunlight was seeping into his room; ice blue from the clouds in the sky and the youth of the morning. John felt tranquil, but crazy tired! If he could laugh at himself right now, he would.
Knock Knock! 'Oh yeah there's someone at the door!' John exclaimed to himself. He rubbed his eyes quick and tip-toed down the stairs. Wait, why would he need to? John looked over and saw his dad in the doorway, greeting whoever it was coming in. Pans were sizzling and John could smell brunch being made. Dad had the radio on in the background: "~I'm not gonna write you a love song~ 'cause you asked for it, 'cause you need one~…"
Just a typical weekend morning vibe emanating from the Egbert Household.
Except there was a guest here. To John's surprise it was not his friend, Dave. But it was in fact someone else; a girl, shy looking and about John's age. He couldn't see much, but John noticed her hair were teal-colored and in curly pigtails, and her face was small and delicate-looking. She gave something to John's dad, bowed, and left in a stumbling hurry, nearly tripping over herself.
"Who's that, Dad?" John asked as he shuffled over to his parent's side.
His dad smiled and handed John the box that the girl had given him, "An admirer," was all he said and went back into the kitchen.
John stood there a little thinking a bit on what was just said. An admirer! He had an admirer!
a minute…
John read the letter on the box:
My name is Maya. Hi, I wanted to give something to your friend, Dave Strider. I'm too shy to give it to him personally. I'm a devoted fan of his works and they make me laugh. If you could just do this one thing for me and I'll be so grateful.
-Maya Halima
P.S.: I'm your across-the-street neighbor. I'm sorry if I've been hiding from you this whole time, I'm muy tímido. Maybe we can hang out some time?
Just as he thought; John sighed a little. Dave's admirers might be scattered around everywhere, but in his own neighborhood? That's just plain rare.
Admirers? Of his WORK? REALLY? That just made John even more depressed. But of course…
John looked out the window and saw Maya stumbling around on some ice. Her pigtails were bouncing around everywhere and she'd squeal if she almost fell. Maya's a definite otaku, for sure. John laughed when she fell butt first on the ice and her skirt flipped up in the wind. She watched in terror as her panties were exposed as pedestrians passed by. She squealed and forced her skirt down as they laughed at her. She then retreated into a snow house that was built in her yard from the snow on the ground.
"Stupid gamberro, dejar y alguien yo tener no tiempo para es idiots!" Maya yelled back at them. They laughed even more. John had no idea what she just said. She probably just cussed them out in Japanese or something. He doesn't know what Japanese sounds like really.
But back to the box. John thought it would be rude to open it up and see what his friend was getting. Honestly, this gift wasn't his. So don't touch it, derpface!
Now Dave's getting two presents. John put the box in his room on the computer desk. Strider's going to be soooooooo spoiled this weekend!
John giggled. Yes…spoiled…
First, he was going to give Dave his cake. A chocolate cake; coincidently, didn't that song he showed him reference to a chocolate cake? The subs were going a little fast, and the girl in the blue dress was really cute when she was trotting around—distracting!
John checked the time: Nine in the morning. Dave should arrive soon. His fingers tingled a little and he got all nervous. His chest shivered and he just wanted to squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Then, he were to hang out with him like the bros they were. Simple enough, maybe they should go out somewhere. John could show Dave all the cool places that he found. Like some abandoned sewers near a skate park, it was behind some bushes and went down into an outskirts that some people turned into a skate park. Or the house that no one ever lived in that John hides embarrassing valuables in the basement of. Some items he stole from stores, like candy and stuff…
What else did you think John was going to hide? Honestly…
At the end of the day…or the weekend, for sure…John would do it.
The ultimate thing.
Or so John thought. Not like it was anything special. Just—
There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" John called to his dad and opened the door. It was Maya.
"Hey…there, John," Maya wavered, "Um, well…hi."
"Hello Maya!" John said, "You didn't forget to give me anything else to give to Dave, did you?" What? John thought on what he just said. Did he just say something mean? That sounded mean.
"No! Oh no, not—no hehe!" Maya giggled, "Just…I dunna…uh, I just wanted to see if you were…disappointed."
"Disappointed? For what?" John asked. Although he knew the answer already.
"Well, you probably thought that was for you…right?" Maya asked/said. John nodded a little in yeah-sure-kind-of way. "Well…see, I didn't want you all sad because that was for your friend. And all that, you know."
'She is just being too cute right now,' John thought, 'Oops, I mean "moe".' Maya fidgeted with her coat and pulled it over her skirt more. She shuffled and bowed with a little nervous giggle and ran away across the street into her snow-house.
Moe.
John decided to pass some time by helping his dad with brunch. Eggs and bacon; easy stuff. They made three servings: For John, his dad, and Dave. When that was done, only ten minutes passed. John retreated to his room and went on PesterChum:

Jade had closed out of the window to the conversation and John sat there still worked up. Jade did not help him, so he decided to pester the one he wanted to pester the whole time: Rose.

EB: Thanks.
TT: You're welcome.
-tentacleTherapist [TT] ceased pestering ectoBiologist [EB] at 9:23 am-
EB: Busy, are we? …
John sighed; the girls gave him no full consolation. Jade was on an internet memer's high and Rose was avoiding him for some reason. Why was he so nervous in the first place, he thought to himself.
That's right, Dave.
Ping! Went the computer. John's head snapped up from its place in his hands to see someone was pestering him. "Oh, speaking…" John mumbled to himself. His face flushed as he read the words on the screen. John hadn't felt like this talking to someone over PesterChum in…forever.

John couldn't headdesk enough to beat out the embarrassment heating his face. 'Where'd THAT come from?' He thought to himself, 'You just embarrassed yourself "LIKE A BAWS" in front of Dave "LIKE A NOT-REALLY-A-BAWS"'
John was a little hyper. Why would he think of internet memes while ridiculing himself? Jade had something to do with it, he thought. So he just decided to go on Tumblr and check around there. He caught up on the blogs he was following. Soon his emotional high (if you would call it that) crashed, and he sat up, out of the computer chair, walked over to his bed, and knocked out. He took a hold of his pillow and brought it towards his face.
" tiiiireeed…" He whined into his pillow. He pronounced 'tired' as 'tye-red' for no good reason whatsoever.
Red was Dave's favorite color, right?
"Dammit!" John said through his pillow. His face tingled again; he rolled over on his back so that the pillow was right on his face, "Just have a little five-minute nap, that's all I need." He said to himself. He then closed his eyes, his body relaxing and sinking into the bed comfortably; he fell asleep unknowingly.
PT: John, stop falling asleep every time one of my chapters ends! 3X
Chapter three will be soon! I promise!
