AN: Sup? Also, this is mah fic, not yours, I pick pairings, not you.

Kankri gave a smile at Cronus happily, finally recovered from the freak out.

"Y9u're 9k…" He muttered, giving a sigh of relief.

"vwell vwhy vwouldn't i?" He asked with a grin.

"c4us3 of th3 scr4tch 4nd wh4t3v3r brought us h3r3." Latula pointed out.

"true." Cronus accepted.

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFU-" The trio's heads turned in sync as they saw a boy scream in rage before being hit in the head by a girl that was facing the wrong way.

"Isn't that…"

"d4nc3stors?" Latula added.

"vwell, i believe so." Cronus agreed.

"Karkat and Terezi right?" Kankri checked.

"yup." Latula confirmed.

"COM3 ON K4NKL3S! R3L4X FOR ONC3!" The girl shouted happily, before the boy twisted her around.

"WRONG WAY!" He told her exasperated.

"vwell, that doesn't seem familiar at all…" Cronus said sarcastically.

"wh4t 4r3 you t4lk1ng 4bout?" Latula asked, Kankri hiding his face in his hands and giving a big ol' sigh.

"Cr9nus please st9p." Kankri begged.

"sorry friend, i can't. it's too adorable." Cronus apologised with a grin.

"w41t… oh gr34t..." Latula groaned as she figured it out and her face flushed a teal colour.

"W-Well…" Kankri decided to change the subject. "We kn9w that 69th alternia and 6ef9rus tr9lls are here." He pointed out.

"…" Latula was silent and staring into nothingness.

"Latula?"

"bluh!? wh4t's go1ng on?" She asked as she jolted up.

"you vwere staring into space." Cronus said without hesitation.

"oh gr34t… 1 c4n't stop th1nk1ng 4bout 1t now!" She complained.

"W)(at are you glubbing about?" A girl asked curiously from nearby.

Kankri frowned, trying to remember where he'd heard that voice before.

"w41t… 1sn't th4t m33n4h's d4nc3stor?" Latula asked.

"Feferi wasn't it?" Kankri asked her.

"1 th1nk 1t w4s som3th1ng l1k3 th4t." She agreed.

")(ey… I'm right here you know…" The girl pointed out. "And my names Feferi!" She said happily.

"Well Feferi, it's nice t9 meet y9u." Kankri said honestly with a smile.

"Nice to meet you too!" She said with a big smile.

"don't go starting a harem on us." Cronus joked, only for Kankri to go pale and then shiver.

"N9t funny… What kind 9f life did y9u have?" He asked in horror.

"W)(at's a )(arem?" Feferi asked curiously.

"Multiple quadrant pairs 9f the same segment." He said quickly.

"O-O)(… -E-Eridan never actually explained t)(at…" She whispered, blushing furiously.

"Besides, I d9n't even want a harem Cr9nus, never will." Kankri told Cronus.

"w3ll, n-now th4t…" Latula trailed off, blushing again.

"Y9u need a minute?" Kankri asked her, willing to give her that much time.

"Y-Y34h…" She agreed, closing her eyes.

"vwell, you could have just said so…" Cronus admitted with a big grin.

"O)( I know t)(at look… At least, sorta… Nepeta has t)(at grin w)(en s)(e tries to get people toget)(er…" Feferi said, with a grin.

"Great… Cr9nus has 6ec9me a shipper." Kankri complained.

"no, just for your love life in particular." Cronus corrected.

"D9esn't make it any 6etter." He muttered annoyed.

"vwasn't trying to reassure you." Cronus told him grinning.

Kankri gave a big sigh and turned to Latula, and then promptly leaned backwards in order to get away.

Latula had positioned her face right next to his, at such an angle that if he had fully turned his head he probably would have… Oh… Oh dear…

"U-Uh… L-Latula?" Kankri asked carefully.

Latula opened her eyes, having closed them earlier, and made a cute little meep sound, and blushing. "1-1-1… 1 uh…" She stammered embarrassed.

"L-Latula, just calm down, speak slowly…" Kankri advised.

"r-r1ght…" She nodded, before looking Kankri straight in the eyes, and then speaking. "1… 1 th1nk that… 1, uh… h4v3 r3d for you…" She mumbled, barely audible.

"9-9h… I… I need to pr9cess this… I wasn't expecting it." He said, his thinkpan too hot and surprised to think.

"r-r1fght…" Latula agreed, mentally shouting at herself for trying it.

"I-It's n9t that I d9n't like y9u, I d9, but I d9n't kn9w h9w exactly, and just didn't expect this." He explained, picking up on it, bright red in the face.

"o-oh…" She gave a groan as she rested her face on the table embarrassed. "why d1d 1 do th4t? 1 b3t h3 w4s just try1ng to m4k3 m3 f33l good…" She wondered mentally.

"Are… You ok?" Feferi asked her carefully.

"no… 1'm not ok…" She told her, before blocking everything out.

Somewhere else

A figure stumbled towards the doors, cursing the broken leg as they did, before pushing the doors open slowly…

Back where we were earlier

Kankri looked up as the big doors opened to reveal a face that seemed familiar for some reason, but he wasn't sure where he recognised it…

"And who are you?" The headmaster, Dumbledore or something, asked politely.

"me? i… am in so much trouble with mom." The person said, a female, before she collapsed, bleeding from her leg and covered in what to most people looked like paint… But those who were trolls knew better, it was troll blood…

Feferi gave a quiet gasp, shaking Kankri's shoulder.

"I know )(er! I know w)(o she is!" Feferi told him.

"Well? Wh9 is it?" He asked her, waiting.

"It's Roxy! I was )(er sprite along with Nepeta!" She told him, giving the now named Roxy a worried look.

"th4t's good r1ght?"

"Well, yes and no. I was tossed in after -Eridan u)(… Killed me… Along with Nepeta's corpse… But we got better!" Feferi pointed out cheerfully.

"Y9u are incredi6ly preci9us and ad9ra6le." Kankri stated seriously as he stared Feferi down. "I must pr9tect it." He decided.

"Ok…" Feferi leaned away a bit before turning back to Roxy worried.

"sh3'll b3 f1n3, sh3's pl4y3d sgrub." Latula pointed out.

"Actually, the humans played S6ur6." Kankri corrected.

")(ow do you know t)(at?"

"I just d9. Perhaps it's due t9 my class as the seer 9f bl99d." He theorised.

"vwell, i thought you never figured out your powers." Cronus pointed out.

"I didn't, it was simply an idea." He said, sounding like a snarky broad we all know, except for our heroes/idiots.

"what're you guys talking about?" A voice asked from… Above them… Kankri, Feferi, Cronus and Latula, as well as the other two trolls and Roxy on the floor, all turned their heads upwards to see a boy in a blue costume with a windsock.

"GODDAMNIT EGBERT!"
