I'm an idiot! His name is spelled 'Sollux' not 'Sollox', thanks again Hiezen Uchiha! I'm glad this thing is so popular; I could've sworn this would come off as a stupid fan girl thing, but instead of being stupid, it is well-liked. I LIKE THAT DIFFERENCE! Lol, I'm hyper. Anyways, as always, I don't own Homestuck, as we all know. On with the story!

~oxoXoxo~

"W-Watch your step, don't w-want to trip in here," Eridan says as he leads KK and I to a cave directly under his hive. He said nobody knows about the place but him, which I take for granted since it doesn't seem any other seadwellers live by him beside Feferi. He really is hopeless, I almost feel sorry for him.

We went through the secret entrance to the cave in his respiteblock and are now walking in a narrow damp cave-like corridor with shiny rock formations sticking out from the walls and floor acting as lights. KK is walking in front of me with the neck of his shirt covering his nose, he said it smells like a raw fish market earlier, I don't notice it and neither does Eridan, and I know that if Eridan and I agree on something there is something very wrong with me, as if fins coming out of my face weren't enough.

Finally we come to the cave, and if Eridan wasn't weird before, what's in this cave makes him straight up creepy.

"Don't you believe magic to be not real?" KK says.

"Yes, and anyone w-who believves in it is an idiot dreamer. This is my Science Chamber." First off, there is a huge glowing rock/jewel type thing in the far wall giving off enough light to hurt a blind girl's eyes. Second, there are at least twelve different bookshelves holding books of every size scattered all over the place. Third, there are a few long tables by the far wall holding all kinds of vials, flasks and bottles holding strange liquids and other weird shit. Fourth and lastly, in the middle of the cave is a podium holding a large book and a shitty wand.

"You tw-wo CANNOT tell anybody about this place, I'm the only one w-who know-ws about it, beside you tw-wo. I'll keep your secret if you tw-wo w-will keep mine, right?" We nod. Eridan goes over to the podium and starts flipping through the book. "W-we're gonna be a w-while dow-wn here, get comfortable," he says. KK takes the only chair down here and I'm forced to sit on a rock; not too comfortable at all. I feel my phone start buzzing in my pocket; I didn't even know I had that thing. Someone is messaging me via Trollian; I've got nothing else to do, might as well answer.

Shit, I royally fucked that up. Now TZ and FF are gonna suspect something's wrong! "Fucking stupid," I mumble as I slap my forehead. This day has been the absolute worst of anything, the only good part is earlier, and even THAT came with a consequence.

"You alright, dude?" KK asks.

"Fuck my life." I throw the phone into a nearby puddle, or tide pool I guess it is.

"What happened?"

"I told TZ FF and I kithed and now the thinks "thomething elthe" happened becauthe I'm paranoid and now the'th gonna talk to FF."

"Well…let's not get too worried just yet. I think you'll be okay, I mean, it's Terezi. Feferi might blow it off."

"You don't know FF like I do, KK. She might be all happy on the outside, but she'll start worrying about me as soon as she gets the word." I hear something break over by Eridan. I look over and see his hand in a tight fist and the shitty wand in two pieces on the ground. He turns to me and KK, obviously pissed but smiling.

"W-why don't you tw-wo w-wait back upstairs? I'll come for you once I havve a solution ready." He says. We oblige, hoping he doesn't try to tackle us on the way out, but instead of that he just pushes a large rock over the entrance. We head back to his respiteblock.

"Is it just me or did he seem more pissed then normal?" KK asks me.

"I think it's what we were talking about that got him mad." It has to be the reason.

"He still has flushed feelings for Feferi? I thought he got over her! He's so desperate, I bet he locked the door and all the windows and 'lost' the key just to trap us in here with him."

"He would, wouldn't he?" We laugh. I start to think about it, he really would do that, wouldn't he? He is lonely enough. I then get an idea and quickly turn to KK, who is looking at me with the same scared expression I'm wearing.

"I'll get the windowth," I say.

"All doors." KK turns to leave and I follow. If fish fuck really did lock us in…

The front door and all the windows (that aren't filled with broken glass) are locked except for the back door, which was simply stuck. KK and I are standing outback where the sandbar ends, water splashing up on our faces and salty air blowing past us.

"FREE—" KK falls on the sand sprawled out and gasping with his feet floating off the edge of the sandbar.

"Exaggerate much?" I sit down next to him.

"We were dragged down to a fucking underwater dungeon filled with the weirdest shit a troll could own. And I swear I saw a bucket on one of those bookshelves."

"Think tho, KK?"

"You're damn right I think 'tho'." He imitates my lisp.

"Thut up." I laugh and push his shoulder. We spend a few minutes staring at the sky, which is slowly turning lighter shades of purple the closer it is to the horizon.

"The sunrise looks kinda nice, huh?" KK says.

"Yeah…" I enjoy the moment. I may be in a strange condition, but I've gotta admit—the sunrise on the beach sure looks pretty. And sitting here with my best friend makes it all the better.

"Ah!" KK grabs me as the lower half of his body is pulled into the water. "What the fuck is on my leg!" he screams.

"Hold on!" I grab his arms and start pulling him, but whatever has him has a better grip then me. I stare into his scared eyes and try one last pull, but I can't do it. He's pulled in.

Watch how many people are gonna start crying for Karkat and yelling at me for adding a cliffhanger, just watch.

Ahh…I suck X)
