Alright, I'll try to update once a week, or soon almost daily as the winter holiday break is in three more days, either way, this update should be helpful and or feels revealing-ness I think… I don't know, anyway, hope you enjoy, I'll appreciate any reviews you send my way, Caio!

You flinch at the sound of the ball bearing scraping against the rough metal of the U-haul trailer. "John, be the fuck careful, it's not my van", you say through gritted teeth. He mutters another apology as he slides the dowel rod into the pin.

"So, where is your dorm Karkles?" John asks as he climbs into the passenger seat seat of the van. "I'm ready to make up for the pie I threw at you earlier", John says happily as he pulls a package of napkins out of his pocket and begins wiping your face off. He smiles, moving his empty hand onto your chest.

"Hey, keep your hands off of me, perv." You fume at him. "Better start explaining your disappearance before I have to explain why you've already been kicked out." You start up the van and shift it into drive. Pulling out of the parking lot you encourage yourself in your mind. You can get through this Karkat, you can take whatever he throws at you, "alright", you say out loud, "I'm ready to hear what you have to say."

"Thanks again Karkat!" John immediately jumped into a long and somewhat boring explanation about how his father, Jade, his sister, and their grandfather had all but kidnapped him and forced him to take the past year to study abroad, due to the fact his grades were dropping, as he spent more time chatting with you then on doing his assignments. Therefore he had been allowed no internet access until he turned eighteen, returned to his high school for graduation, and then scampered off in search of you. "And that is why, when my bro Dave all up and said you were here, and he lived in your dorm, I packed everything and blitzed down here to see you. I saw you a little bit, but nobody seems to know exactly where your dorm is located, so I enrolled and requested to move in with you, rather than on the main campus." He finished this bit rather hurriedly, as though you wouldn't believe him and throw him out of the van.

"Okay, you could have just messaged me ya know that John?" You say, while turning into the drive, you look up and see Dave walk out of the house, heading towards you.

"Hey Karkat, sup Egderp", he says sliding his shades onto his face, "finally here then John? Or has Kk here kicked you out yet?" Dave smiles knowingly, as though he was expecting John to hang his head in shame.

"Nah, Karkles hasn't given me the boot yet, so hopefully I can stay… But, which room is mine again Karkat?" John looks at you expectantly, his eyes searching your face, probably wondering if you'll let him sleep with you

"My bed won't be here until next week though. So, mind if I sleep with you Karkles?" He smiles, thinking he was victorious. But you had other ideas, so you would have to knock him off of his pillar for now.

"As a matter of fact, I do mind, you can sleep on the couch in our room", shit! Why did you say our, well no taking it back while Strider is listening in, besides, yours is the biggest room, and you're the only occupant. "Then you can put your bed in there when it arrives, but try anything and I swear, you'll be on the curb." You glare at John menacingly, taking in his adorable face and perfect, sky blue eyes. Wait, what?

"Fine, I can put up with your bad mood, for now", John says, smirking mischievously.

"No pranks and or pies either John", you add as an afterthought. He scowls playfully. "I'm serious John, if you throw one more pie, I will fillet you like a fish."

Dave snickered, high fiving John through the window. You and John got out and with Daves help began moving everything up to your room. John surprisingly had very little stuff to carry, however, everything he did have were in huge boxes, so there was a lot more then what could be seen right away.

After about thirty minutes of this you decide you need a break, and some coffee. You go into the kitchen and start up your brewer, looking at the different choices of grounds for selection. Your kitchen is better stocked than a damned Trollbucks! You select SimplyBliss: Hazelnut coffee and put it in the pot with some water. While waiting for the brew to finish, you look at the clock and check the time, Three o'seven... Wait, what! You were supposed to pick up Gamzee nearly ten minutes ago, what the hell is wrong with you! You didn't even bother setting an alarm.

You hurry out to the driveway, and of course they're just messing around! Because why should anybody bother doing what they're supposed to do. Unhooking the trailer you state, "Listen nooksniffers, I have to go pick up Gamz, Strider, don't forget to get Tz at five. I want all of this taken care by the time I get back", You finish removing the trailer from the hitch of the van. You hop in and quickly get it running, grinding through the gears as you shift to third quickly while backing out. You put the van into drive and head down the cobble road to the flat concrete a few miles away. Hopefully Gamzee isn't too mad at you. Although , in reality, he hardly ever even gets upset. At any rate, best not leave him waiting to long, he was probably sitting with Tavros, his boyfriend, and Equius, who had volunteered to fix up your own vehicles, none of which seemed to want to start.

You pull up to the gate and quickly flash your ID, thank gog you left it in the van earlier. You pull up to the lot outside the musical department and look around, van idling. After about thirty seconds of this the three of them walk out and spot you. "Hey Karbro, how long you've been waiting out here for us motherfucker?" You began to answer when a teacher turns around, "Tongue Mr. Makara, mind it." You all roll your eyes, one would think that the professors here would have gotten used to Gamzee letting slip the occasional swearing, especially because of his medication, but no, the idiots that taught here were… well, idiots.

"Not long", you say after the pause, "Just a minute or so, I assume you want to drive back?" You grin at the Capricorn, as he returns a similar, albeit, more crooked smile. "Nah bro, probably not a good idea, I just had a quick puff and all, but I shouldn't risk it." This surprised you, maybe Gamzee was actually learning better self control with his 'other' medicine. "Well, if you say so Gamz. Glad to hear you're doing better with the stuff. Anything else on your mind?"

You look expectantly at Gamzee, knowing that something was wrong, especially since he was smoking weed again. "Well, you remember our keyboard player for the band right?" Gamzee said, turning to face you, you face the road, turn left.

"Yeah, Greg wasn't it?" You look at him, the sad look in his eyes giving it away. "Oh, so he quit?" You look bewildered for a second, why would he quit, Gamzee's band was one of the best. "No, he got expelled for hitting one of his teachers, so he can't compete with us at the battle of the bands. I'll talk to Strider about it, but I hate to do so." Gamzee seemed very calm as he said this, you mull things over… What with Greg's idiocy and John's childness… "John!" You exclaim. "Gamzee, why don't you just ask John first, he knows how to play, and has his own keyboard, I remember unloading it earlier. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Gamzee looks at you as though you were from another planet. "You mean our new dorm buddy?

"Yeah, I know him from a while back, and he'd jump at the chance to show off his skills." You smile as Gamzee nods and agrees that asking John would be better than dealing with Dave.

You turn into the dorm drive and see the U-haul emptied...

Today was going better than you would've thought.
