Oh fuck oh fuck of fuck oh fuck! Karkat paced in his room. Yes pacing. Like they do in a cheesy movie. You really did it this time Karkat, he thought, you really fucked up this time! He sighed. Why did I say that? I'm so fucking stupid. Okay, focus Karkat. You can't just show up without a date. You have to get a date. That shouldn't be too hard right? Getting a date should be easy! I can get one of my past girlfriends. But the only person I ever dated was Terezi. Fuck! Okay maybe I can get one of my friends to go on a fake date with me and show them up! It's foolproof! It worked in the movies. He began scrolling through all the girls in his contacts. Least recent to most recent. Okay I told them it was a she so that narrows it down. A lot. Let's see...

She's out...Literally.
Hmm…I'd consider it if she weren't dating a guy who could kill me.
That's a dude.
Yeah, she seems–wait, that's Sollux's girlfriend. Fuck you Sollux!
Oh God. DEFINITELY not her.
Lesbian.
Fuck no.
Also a Lesbian.
Wait...she's perfect! Absolutely perfect! I'll call her right now! And besides she is kinda cute...

Karkat dialled up the number.
"Hello...yeah, it's me, Karkat...not much...i know right? Hey want to meet up at Romano's at say...6:30 tomorrow?...okay! Yes that'd work out...see you then."

"In pop news, local pop sensation Tenebrais, keyboardist of the popular band Capuchin Catapult, has gone missing. Her band mates say she was last seen about three weeks ago when they were asked to entertain at Radiation's brother's party. After the eleventh of March, however, no one has seen her since. Many suspect it was a kidnapping and the fanbase is extremely upset. We will have more updates soon. Another pop sensation, Justin Bieber was arrested again for yet another DUI after he crashed his new BMW Phantom into a tree. The owners of the tree are very upset..."

Terezi was kicking back and watching…rather listening to the television. It was 12:36 and she did not care about anything. Today was her day off and the current case she was on was on Tuesday, so she was free. And this weekend, she would prove to Karkat once and for all that she was better than him. Until then, she just sat back eating Fruity Pebbles and feeling the amazing color burst in her mouth. She then heard booming from upstairs. Weird, she wondered, normally Aradia is up much earlier than this. Aradia lumbered to the living room all groggy and tired.

"Why is it so bright out?" Aradia yawned, "What time is it?"
"Like 12:40," Terezi replied. Aradia was awake.
"Shoot! I slept in! I have a date in twenty minutes!" Aradia panicked, "I've really got to get going!"
"Equius probably won't care if you're a bit late," said Terezi.
"Oh yes he will," she replied almost out the door, "The last time–" Aradia stopped. Terezi smelled the sourness before Aradia dashed off to the bathroom. Terezi followed her. She shook her head as her roommate puked her guts out.

"Yeah...I don't think you're going on that date," she said. Aradia sighed.
"Could you text Equius for me and tell him I can't make it?" she requested. Terezi began to do so. Aradia then resumed vomiting.
"Sent."
"Oh God that was awful!" she groaned after finishing, "Why Mongolia, why?"

"Oh shit."
"What?"
"He wants to come over and take care of you! Holy shit…" answered Terezi.
"Ahh! I got to–"
"Shhh! Why don't you just relax?" Terezi suggested, "I'll take care of it. You go upstairs." Aradia sighed. She picked herself off of the floor and went to her bedroom. Terezi then got a text from Dave.

TG: Hey, wanna meet up?

GC: Can't. Roommate is sick. She just vomited a fuck ton.

TG: That sucks! Maybe I can help.

GC: Really? You want to?

TG:Yeah! Aradia's my pal!

GC: Okay then. See ya soon.

She then went upstairs to join her roommate.

Later…

"You don't have a fever…" said Terezi. Aradia sighed.
"I feel okay," she replied.
"After what happened earlier, i don't think so," said Terezi.
"I do! I mean, I'm tired, but that's it. After what happened this morning I feel better," she replied.
"Hmmm…" Terezi wondered.
"It's probably just the thing I caught in Mongolia," she said.

"Well, I still suggest you stay here," said Dave, "Don't get me infected."
"You'd get infected if you touched Terezi, yet you don't seem to mind that," Aradia remarked. The two blushed. "Seriously you two. You can't go a single week without doing it?"

"Hey! What about you and Equius?" defended Dave.
"He doesn't like the idea," she replied, "We've been dating for like almost a year is it? He's a modest person with strict morals."

"Hey! There is nothing wrong with sex. It's not bad for you. It's not like it's cocane," he said.
"Dave!" Terezi nudged.
"Oh sorry! My bad, forgot about…" apologized Dave.

"That's cool. It's fine if you forget," Aradia replied.

Equius knocked on the door. He and his girlfriend had a date today. He wondered why she wasn't answering. He had cooked a nice meal for the two and had kept it warm and fresh. He then dialed her number. The door suddenly opened.

"Sorry about that," invited Aradia, "Come on in." Equius entered. "Something smells delicious!"
"I cooked some nice ravioli," he replied.
"Awesome!" Aradia replied. She had him set the dish on the table. She then yawned.

"Tired?" Aradia nodded. "Maybe food will give you energy," suggested Equius.
"That may be it," she agreed. Equius smiled and pulled out Aradia's chair for her. She nodded and sat. He then began serving the dish. Aradia looked at the dish.

"Something's missing," she thought aloud. She then dug through her fridge. She then pulled out a can of whipped cream and covered the ravioli with the fluffy white delicacy. Equius felt like throwing up. The one thing he didn't like about Aradia. She was so weird.

"Aradia…what are you doing? That is revolting!" Equius scoffed.
"Tastes good," she replied, "Want some?"
"No thank you," he quickly replied. She smiled.

"So how's med school?" Aradia asked.
"It has been well, but I feel like there has been a lot of pressure on me," he elaborated, "My entire family is a long line of doctors. It's a huge weight on me to become one as well."
"I know the pressure is rough," she comforted.
"It is indeed," he replied, "How are you feeling?"

"Better, I think I'm through with throwing up," she answered.
"That's good!" Equius replied.

After they finished eating, the two decided to snuggle on the couch while watching a movie. Equius heard loud, calm breathing. He looked down at his chest to find his girlfriend asleep. He sighed. Equius then took her in his arms and carried her up the stairs. When he got to her bedroom, he laid her down on her bed. Then, he went to the blanket closet, grabbed an extra blanket, and put it over her. He smiled.

She is so beautiful. So calm and perfect. Well, almost perfect. Maybe in a year or so she will have enough class and manners to finally fit into the place where she belongs.
