I couldn't stand it anymore, the shitty empty feeling in my chest was coming back. I miss her so much already. "Eridan?" I turned around, looking up to see Kanaya trying to comfort me, placing her hand on my shoulder with that stupid, pretending-to-care look.

"Are you alright?" I shoved her hand away angrily, wanting nothing to do with her. "Fuck off, Kan, Wwhat do you wwant?" I said, trying to tame the whimpering in my voice. I hid under my cape, crawling into a ball, with my knees tucked close to my chest. "Eridan, is it that human? Did she leave already?" It was really hard to ignore her, me being a talkative little shithead, I tried with all my might to shut the fuck up.

"It's none o' your fuckin business." I whispered. "It doesn't matter anywway. I'm just being stupid ovver a landdwweller. "I grabbed my hair, frustrated with my feelings. Kanaya sat beside me, patting my back trying to make me feel more pathetic, I guess. "Eridan, how do you feel about the human?" She said softly with that motherly tone. She was always the mother of the group, but she could never get that close to me, I was raised to realize that.

"Look, I told you, it's none o' your fuckin business," I stood up, showing her how serious I was. "Listen Kan, if you didn't spend so much time rubbing vaginas with that 'Flighty Broad', you would realize how my life spiraled ever since my crush from my grub days rejected me, and had the nerve to say that she didn't evven wwant to be moirails. Is there something wwrong with me? Am I that unappealin'? Or is it that I'm nevver good enough for anyone? And noww, this human just suddenly pops outta nowwhere and givves me googly eyes, do you know how insulting that is, knowwing wwhat I feel about landdwwellers? Evven if she doesn't like me, that's her problem, I don't knoww -"

"You do know. And from what I know, you like her, and the right thing to do is NOT to attack landdwwellers, that is not going to get you anywhere." I've never seen her this serious before. I know she was always there to talk about feelings, but I never knew she cared that much. "Kanaya, it doesn't wwork like that, but, I don't understa-" "Go find her. You'll never be happy until you do. This isn't Feferi, she didn't give a flying fuck about your feelings, she didn't even want to be friends with you. You need to find this human girl, and you need to tell her."

Kan sure did give some useful advice, but sometimes, I don't understand what she means.

"Tell her wwhat? That I'm a desperate loner?" She patted my hand. "Whatever you feel like you need to tell her." I tried to decipher what she meant, I had no idea what she was getting to.

"But tell her wwhat-" She interrupted by painfully flicking my head. "Did you not hear what I said? Go!" I quickly stood up, tripping on my cape in the process. "Get the water out of your head and go, Eridan! TELL HER!" I nodded and ran. I didn't know where I was running to, but I was bound to get somewhere.

After minutes of countless running, I ran into Terezi, the blind weirdo. It wasn't that she was weird, she was always kind of odd, but I guess that was Karkat's type.

"Ter, quick, I need to borrow your jetpack. She looked up from her chalk drawing. "What for? For one of your genocide shit plans? " She asked, her face covered in red. "It's an emergency! C'mon, please?"

She looked at me suspiciously, still chewing on the red piece of chalk. "Okay, fine. Just don't do anything weird with it., or I'm taking you to the slammer." She took out her capchalog, releasing the jetpack into my arms. "Thanks!" I ran away, trying to slide my arms through the wing straps.

I ran to the farest edge of the meteor, trying to develop the confidence to jump off, even at the ridiculously fast speed this meteor's going. The wind we were catching blew on my face, almost blowing my glasses off. I patted around the jet pack, grabbing the engine-cord-thingy. I pulled it, only to hear the short roar of the engine. "Fuck."

I pulled harder, trying to get this piece of shit to start. It started to run properly, making me breathe a little easier. I was off my feet and into the air. For a minute, I forgot I was a sea dweller, up in the sky, gliding around like this was somefin no sea dweller would ever attempt. I rode into the direction that Dirk and Roxy escaped to.

The only problem was now, is to prevent my cape and scarf from catching on fire.
