Guess who's back, back again! Here is the the new chapter! Remember that I don't own Homestuck and only own the plot to this story also, sorry for any spelling and grammar mistakes that I might make. It's time for the new chapter and this time we appear to be Dave Strider; aka: the coolkid.
I carried on my trek in the airport to get to where we needed to get to. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't excited to meet up with my friends again. It had been so long since the last time we had been to visit. Rose was on the phone to someone, Dirk was texting Jake, Roxy was also busy on her phone and Bro was leading us to our platform while talking to Roxy and Rose's mom. It sucked that we would only be there for a week and then we would need to go back. I pulled out my passport as we got into the line and we all turned our phones on to airplane mode. "I am soo excited." Roxy grinned.
"That's probably because John is there." Dirk joked.
"Yeah but there is also Jakey and Jane is there and so is Jade. I can't wait to meet everyone again after so long."
"I'm with you there Roxy." Rose giggled, "It will be a lot of fun when we get there."
"Especially for Dirky." Roxy joked, "You'll get to be with Jake again. I bet your just hiding your excitement behind that straight face. Keeping up the cool strider look as always."
"A strider always looks this cool no matter the situation. It's was being a strider is all about." Dirk informed them and Roxy rolled her eyes.
"Come on Dirk it's supposed to be exciting. Loosen up a little. Let the feelings take over." Roxy encouraged as we moved further down the line, "Tell him Dave. You know what's up."
"I would but what would I be if I went against the code. Would I still be able to keep up the strider line?" I replied while keeping a straight face.
"Awww come on Davey. It's just a little bit of fun." Roxy moaned.
"Have you all got your passports ready?" Bro asked us after he had finished talking to Rose's and Roxy's mom. We nodded our heads in response and that was all we got from Bro until we had managed to get out the plane. At least he wasn't carrying one of his smuppets in public.
I sat in my spot on the plane, at the window seat with Roxy and Rose next to me. The others sat in front of us. The plane journey was going to take about two hours so I had enough time to finish a film that John had recommended to me. Even if I knew that Nicolas Cage was going to be in it, I watched the film that I had downloaded.
Finally the plane landed and we all waited to get off the plane. Most of the people were standing up and were waiting for the first chance they got to escape out of the aircraft and get to the ground. However, Rose seemed to be sitting down. I sat back down and Rose sent me a look of approval. I turned to see that Roxy was talking to Dirk over the chair and that they were deep in conversation.
Twenty minutes later, we were in one of the rented cars and were on our way to our destination. Roxy had decided to fall asleep and Rose was busy reading one of her many books about wizards. Dirk was busy texting Jake again, Bro was driving us to the house and was talking to Rose's and Roxy's mum. I was busy finishing a sick tune that I had started when the film had finished on the plane. It was going to be so sick that it would blow everyone's socks off when they hear it.
Soon enough we made it to the house and Dirk knocked on the door. Jake was the person who opened the door and a large grin spread across his face. He jumped into Dirks arms. "I've missed you so much."
"I've missed you too." Dirk admitted. Roxy smirked as Jake took Dirks hand then lead us inside. Everyone seemed to be in the kitchen. Jade was busy talking to John and Jane was baking some sweet treats. John's dad was busy reading the newspaper. It seriously sucks that I forgot what his name was and I can't just ask now. I mean that would blast the bro code to smithereens.
"Welcome to our humble home. I'm so very glad to see you all again." Jake spoke when we were all in the kitchen. The parents started talking to each other and went into the lounge with bro which left the rest of us in the kitchen.
"Hello Dave." Jade giggled.
"Hey. It's been a while." I replied as I sat next to Jade who sent me a goofy smile. Roxy and Dirk began to talk to Jane and Jake and by the looks of things they really did miss each other.
"Hey dude. Miss me?" John joked as he pulled up a chair.
"You wish." I teased as Jake gave a chuckle.
"Did you watch the film that I recommended you?" Jake asked.
"Yeah it was shit." I rolled my eyes from under my shades.
"What?! No way! It's the best film of all time! Well con air is. Nothing can beat con air." Jake beamed.
"okay, whatever you say dude." I let a small smirk slip and Jade gave a giggle.
"You two haven't changed at all." She stated and caused John to laugh.
"Yeah that's true. I mean Dave is still the straight faced dude that I've always known. I've always wondered what it would be like to see this dude smile whole-heartedly." John teased.
"I smile..." I began," Ironically." This made John and Jade burst into laughter yet again and I couldn't help but smile. It was good to be back.
Time passed by in a flash and soon it was time to leave. I picked up the newspaper to see yet another person had gone missing. This time it was a girl in her twenties who had long brown hair and big green eyes. It said that she had been missing since yesterday and no one had found her. I let out a sigh and put the newspaper down.
I perched on the couch and began to watch one of John's shitty movies with Rose, Jade, Roxy and John. Roxy wasn't actually paying attention to the film as she was currently passed out of John's shoulder from drinking one too many drinks again. No one seemed to know how she managed to buy so much at the airport while we were leaving. Dirk and Jake were in Jake's room doing god, or any other higher being that you believe in for that matter, knows what.
The film was half way through and I decided to get up off the couch to grab some AJ from the fridge. That was one of the benefits of visiting them (the Egbert, English, Harley and Crocker household) for a week. They always had AJ when we came over.
Mum and John's dad had gone out for a meal and left bro in charge of us and he wasn't doing a shit job about it. He was probably watching that show in the other lounge... for ironic purposes.
I began to head back with my cup of AJ when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. A strange being was hobbling along the empty streets as police sirens from the distance wailed. On closer look the 'thing' seemed to be covered in blood and even had ripped clothing. It was far too soon for Halloween so there was only one thing that this could be and the thought alone managed to shake me a little but I had to stay strong.
I swallowed down my nerves and sprinted to Jake's room. I knocked on the door so that I didn't see anything that I didn't want, or need, to see.
"What is it?" A voice, obviously Dirks, responded, "This better be good."
"Look outside the window." I instructed. I heard a huff of annoyance and then shuffling from the other side of the door and soon silence came for a few beats. They must have been looking out of their window now.
Suddenly the door was yanked open. "Get everyone. Now." Dirk ordered as he picked up the katana that he always left here. I nodded my head and ran to the others.
Soon everyone who was in the building was in the kitchen and Jake had gotten us a rucksack each from his room. They were all colour cowardinatated so we knew who's bag was who's. I had gotten the red one. "As you may have heard, zombies are here. We need to pack these bags with things that are essential. This is stuff like food, drink and clothes. Weapons are defiantly needed for this if you don't want to die. We'll meet back in this room in 10." Dirk explained. Surprisingly everyone was calmer than I expected. I was on the verge of freaking the fuck out. I mean I'm in a fucking zombie apocalypse for fuck sake! The reason they could be this calm was that they were doing this for one another and also for the fact that hope was strong in this building. Nothing could be any cheesier than that. Not even a double cheesy sandwich you would get at a café and you would complain that there was too much cheesy. Not even that could beat how cheesy this scene happened to be. And for the fact that it was like I had walked into a film.
I entered the temporary room I had been staying in for the trip and stuffed some things into the rucksack. I had picked a few pairs of clothes, underwear, my phone charger and phone, some blankets that I had brought along with me as well as some other important stuff.
I zipped my bag shut and looked around the room one more time before heading to the kitchen. I shoved all the cartons of AJ into my almost full rucksack with some snacks from the drawers then waited for everyone else.
One by one they came in until everyone was here again. We needed to find somewhere safe before more zombies came. It wasn't the best because John's dad and my mum weren't here. Bro had told us that he had sent them a text because they wouldn't answer the phone and we couldn't wait for the claws of those things to dig into our skulls and eat our brains as a light snack before finding their real meal. We had to go. This place wasn't safe and I had a feeling we'll find somewhere if we got moving and maybe find the others too.
Right that is the end of another chapter and the first one with Dave! I hope you enjoyed this one and don't forget to leave a review/PM to me on what you think about this story and I hope to see you in the next chapter. Bai!
