AN: Hi. I had a plan, the plan dumped me and gave me it's baby… Baby works really well!
Terezi scowled as she slammed her cane into the stupid stomach of the stupid thing in front of her that was stupid enough to do this! "4ND TH1S 1S FOR K4RK4T!" She shouted, stomping on the idiot's wrist, snapping it in multiple spots. "4ND TH1S ON3'S FOR 3R1D4N!" She shouted again, breaking the fool's leg.
"TEREZI STOP!" Karkat shouted, or tried… it came out as. "rezi-p!" Due to wounds…
This was a bad idea, as she got angrier, raising her cane into the air, ready to cave the things skull in…
Rewind…
We seem to have gone too far forwards, forgive me while I rewind a little.
Back to where we left off
Terezi gave a groan as she was contracted by karkat, which would have been funny if not for the fact that everyone had been bugging, no, pestering, her and not letting her relax like she wanted…

CG: THIS IS GOING TO SOUND CRAZY…
CG: BUT I'M FROM THIS THING CALLED A DOOMED TIMELINE.
GC: 4 WH4T?
CG: IT'S AN OFFSHOOT TIMELINE WHERE SOMETHING WENT WRONG. USUALLY DUE TO TIMETRAVEL PREVENTING THE TIMELINE FROM HAPPENING, SO I'M DOOMED TO DIE…
CG: BUT I NEED YOU TO LISTEN.
CG: PROMISE ME YOU'LL LISTEN.
CG: PROMISE YOU'LL BELIEVE ME.
GC: K4RK4T
GC: 1 B3L13V3 YOU
GC: MOSTLY B3C4US3 TH3R3'S TWO OF YOU ON MY L1ST
CG: AT LEAST YOU BELIEVE ME…
CG: ALRIGHT… YOU HAVE TO LISTEN, AND MAKE SURE THAT WHAT I TELL YOU DOESN'T HAPPEN.
GC: 4LR1GHT.
CG: ONE, THERE'LL COME A TIME WHERE YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO KILL VRISKA, DON'T.
GC: WHY NOT?
CG: I'LL EXPLAIN WHEN I'M DONE.
CG: TWO, VERY SOON YOU'RE GOING TO GET A MESSAGE FROM A NEW FRIEND, WHO'S AN OLD FRIEND FOR THEM, PUT UP WITH THEM AND YOU'LL BE FINE

GC: Y3P
CG: OK THEN.
CG: IN MY TIMELINE, KILLING VRISKA WAS A BIG MISTAKE, YOU SAW SOMETHING AND KNEW YOU COULDN'T LET HER HAVE HER WAY, SO YOU KILLED HER, EVENTUALLY YOU CHANGED IT BUT IT WAS TOO LATE, THE EVENTS WERE TOO DAMAGED IN PORTIONS TO FIX, SO WE HAD GLITCHES AND ERRORS THAT CAUSED… WELL LET'S NOT GO THERE.

CG: IF WE DON'T ENTER AT THIS EXACT TIME EVERYTHING WILL BE RUINED.
CG: JACK WILL BEFREIND ME AT SOME POINT BY SHOWING ME HIS STABS.
CG: I NEED YOU TO TELL ME THIS PHRASE, WITH MY QUIRK, NOT YOURS. THE PHRASE IS
CG: "IF I HATE MYSELF SO MUCH WHY DON'T I JUST HATEMARRY MYSELF?"
CG: NEXT, ERIDAN GOES DOWNHILL AT A POINT IN MY TIMELINE THANKS TO FEFERI DITCHING HIM AND KILLS HER, HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO GO…
CG: KANAYA IS A RAINBOW DRINKER, AND IS GOING TO BE HURT REALLY SOON, AT FIRST IT WAS AT A CERTAIN POINT, BUT THEN IT SUDDENLY CHANGED, AND SHE WAS HURT BADLY ENOUGH FOR THE CHANGE TO HAPPEN MUCH TOO EARLY… SO LET HER DRINK, SHE'LL HEAD TO ME NEXT, TELL ME THAT SHE NEEDS MY BLOOD TO LIVE.

Terezi sighed as she 'looked' out the window, taking in what she had been told… Karkat seemed worried, she believed him… She gave a sigh, equipping her cane to the canekind abstratus in her strife deck, and then heading to her Lusus' egg…
Later
A… boy, if you could call him that, covered in as many wounds as he was, was pacing in front of the scales her Lusus' egg rested on. "COME ON… PLEASE GET HERE SOON…" He muttered with a sigh.
"K4RK4T?" Terezi called out, making her way to the boy.
"OH YOU'RE HERE… THANK GOD." He said happily, grabbing her tightly and hugging her, shoving his nose into her neck, sniffing heavily. "OH IT'S REALLY YOU!" He almost cried in relief, the poor girl patting his back awkwardly…
"UH… TH3R3 TH3R3?" She said, unsure what to do.
'Karkat' let go of her quickly. "SORRY… I JUST… I NEEDED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS YOU… AND I'VE JUST BEEN THROUGH A LOT." He apologised.
"1T'S F1N3. NOW WHY DO YOU SM3LL SO… SC4R3D?" She asked worried.
"I… I CAN'T TELL YOU… AND JUST TO MAKE THINGS SAFE, CALL ME… WELL, THIS WON'T MAKE SENSE FOR A WHILE, AND IT WON'T BE RIGHT FOR UNTIL A CERTAIN EVENT, BUT JUST CALL ME KARKATSPRITE…" He told her with a sigh.
"SPR1T3?"
"YES. SPRITE. GOG WHY ARE YOU QUESTIONING THIS STUFF?"
"YOU S41D GOG."
"I MISSED YOU… I HAD TO SPEND MONTHS ALONE… WITH NOBODY TO HELP ME, COMFORT ME… TELL ME ANYTHING, I WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO SEE ONE OF YOU AGAIN…" The now dubbed Karkatsprite told her.
"1 DON'T UND3RST4ND…" She told him.
"YOU DON'T NEED TO. NOW LET'S HEAD HOME." He told her, giving a push towards her hive.
"HOM3?"
"YES. HOME. YOUR HIVE. I STAYED THERE BACK IN MY TIMELINE, IT WAS THE ONLY PLACE TO SURVIVE THAT WASN'T OVERRUN…" He explained, guiding her to the tree.
"OH…"
Karkatsprite, even though the name wasn't accurate, gave a smile, the first she had ever smelled a karkat give…
"YOU SM1L3D… K4RK4T YOU SM1L3D!" She exclaimed, shocked by this.
"YEAH, I SMILED. I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER TEREZI… SO I SMILED." He explained messing with something on his phone.
"WH4T 4R3 YOU DO1NG?"
"I'M CHANGING MY TROLLTAG, THIS WAY PEOPLE DON'T GET CONFUSED, AND BESIDES, IT'S GOING TO BE STUCK AT THE BOTTOM OF EVERYONE'S LISTS SO THEY WON'T FIND IT AND BLOCK ME." He explained to her, biting his lip as he typed something.
Terezi licked her screen, turning to Karkatsprite and giving a sigh. "R34LLY? GON3RST1M3L1N3?" She asked him with a groan.
"HEY. IT'S THE BEST I COULD COME UP WITH, AND ALSO THE OLD USER DITCHED THAT NAME AGES AGO, SO HE WON'T MIND." He told her with an eyeroll… Then Terezi's computer made a buzz. "THAT'LL BE YOUR NEW FRIEND. REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU… I NEED TO SLEEP." He told her, heading to her back-up cocoon and just getting in with his clothes on…
