Sarah: Pretend to not see that

[Dave X OC X ?]


Waaaaah, sorry for the suuuper late update! In the past week, I was on a trip with my classmates and I was so caught up in the adventures of climbing the mountains [like Jake *cue fangirl squealing*] that I forgot that I had an ongoing Homestuck story. I'll babble about it in the Kankri corner.

TheParadoxicalOxymoron - that time, Sarah was around eight years old, meaning Dave's nearly nine. I'm pretty sure that these were the years in which children starts to show their true colors... At least, for me, I guess. And yes, I'm pretty much gonna be slow on the updates since projects are starting to pile up. Now, on with the update! Pchooo!


Sarah: Pretend to not see that

Apparently, Sarah could not pretend to see that as the meteor seemed to be aimed straight in to Houston.

Eyes wide, she stared at the big meteor headed towards her city. In the past minute, Sarah had been screaming a string of curses due to panic. She yelled bloody murder until someone cut her. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF-"

"Hey, dawg," The black haired girl looked to the source of the voice and saw a half-naked Dave Strider,, only wearing plain red boxers. His hair was unkempt but he was wearing his sunglasses even if it was in the middle of the night. "People are sleeping and you might wanna calm your tits." He said in a sleepy tone.

"HUH-" Sarah had forgotten her current panic, unnerved by her neighbor's lewd 'nightwear'. "STRIDER!"

He raised an eyebrow that made him look cooler, along the light effects of the moonlight. "What?"

Blood rose into Sarah's cheeks at the snarky reply, courtesy of Dave. She pointed an accusing finger towards the blonde albino, stuttering, "Y-YOU-!" She didn't said anything after that and continued to stare at Dave's lean but not too muscular body.

How the heck does he sleep without any clothes, I mean, seriously! She thought inwardly, keeping her eyes into him. The sight irritated her and she continued to insult him in her mind. Just look at that pale snow white skin that makes me wanna vomit. He should've at least grabbed a sando shirt or something before going out. Such an indecent person! God, can't he just get hit by a big meteor or something and die in a hole?

He noticed her glance of disgust and commanded her, "Quit staring."

". . ." Her right eye twitched at the tone but kept her silence. She never knew why but staring at things that unnerved her had been a practice that she hated of herself.

Dave's lips tugged up a bit in amusement, finally clicking in the big picture in why she was looking at his body directly. "Oh, you're uncomfortable with seeing me in boxers, huh?"

That comment made her snap from giving out more colorful insults. Sarah shouted, "IS IT NOT OBVIOUS?"

"I would never really know why you stare even if it's unnerving you." Dave stated in wonder and sarcasm, "Yeah, I'm going in to snuggle in my dream clouds and keep my handsome bod from your judgmental eyes."

"WAIT!" Sarah held up a hand that reaches out for him as if she can actually touch him from two balconies in between them, " At least tell me; can't you see that big fucking meteor?" She asked him and pointed at the heavenly object.

"What. . ." He frowned and looked up. Sarah noticed his body tense up a bit and his lips tighten even more. "Well shit." Dave stated.

"Yes, Dave," Sarah crossed her arms and nodded in sarcasm, "'Well shit' is a very wonderful way to express shock." The black haired girl said with a forced smile, then shouted once again. "NOW, TELL ME; IS THE END OF THE WORLD GOING TO HAPPEN WITH ME SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER TO MY HALF NAKED MORTAL ENEMY?!"

Sarah felt that odd feeling as if Dave rolled his eyes on her from behind his shades. "We're not enemies, Sar."

She huffed out a puff of air and glared at him, "I don't give a fuck in what you think. In my mind, you're an enemy." Sarah stared up back at the meteor, averting her eyes from the boy. She then noticed grey square buildings perched precariously on top of the falling meteor. "Wait- Are those concrete buildings in that meteor?!"

"Oh motherfuck." He cursed under his breath softly to make sure Sarah doesn't comprehend but she heard it anyway. "Those little shits. . ." Dave turned around quick as if something needs to be investigated.

"Hey, where are you going?" Sarah asked in a commanding tone.

"I'll check it out-" He said quickly and vanished from his balcony towards his room.

"Should I. . ." She questioned herself if she'd risk it involving herself more towards the Striders. However, if she stayed in her room, she wouldn't sleep and she'd be paranoid in what would possibly happen to her. Sharply inhaling, she shouted after Dave, "HEY STRIRONIC, I'M COMING!"


She opened the door of her apartment, seeing a half-running, half-walking Dave Strider in the silent halls of the Highrise. He was clumsily putting on his pants and shirt at the same time. Sarah would completely laugh at him for being a dork if not for the aimed meteor and imminent death they are soon to befall on. Sarah yelled at the panicking Strider, "Strider, wait for me!"

He looked back in surprise and stopped walking. Dave used the opportunity to continue his conquest of getting dressed and to talk at the nosy girl at the same time. "Look, Viznea, I'm not going to bring you anywhere-"

She cut him and asked in a sharp tone. "Why not?"

"I don't. . ." He faltered uncool-y and stayed silent for a whole minute.

Sarah crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "You don't what?"

Dave turned his back on her and continued walking. "It's none of your business. . ." The girl was filled with rage at this point.

Fucking rude, aren't ya? She mentally screamed at the boy. Sarah sighed in exasperation and pursued the blonde albino. "I'm still coming." She stubbornly insisted.

"Stay right where you are and I'll deal with this problem." Dave said to her in atone she was sure she hated. His superiority complex. "You don't need to worry about things, Princess. I'm the Knight." There he goes again. Just like in the past years. Sarah wanted to slap past self for tolerating Dave's attitude into making her look like a damsel in distress. She was pretty sure that's the reason why people hated her guts. To the other people, Sarah Viznea was the girl in third grade who used Dave Strider into being her 'knight'.

She had a déjà vu and replied angrily. "No way in hell am I gonna stay here in the Highrise! And don't you dare call me 'Princess' again."

Dave stopped walking again and faced the raging typhoon called 'Sarah Viznea'. He held her shoulders firmly and stared into the abyss of her eyes, that is – through his shades, of course. "As much as you hate me right now, I don't want you to get in serious danger, Sar."

"Oh now you care about me." She rolled her eyes but kept her eye contact, if ever dave was looking at her. She struggled from his grip but gave up when she realized that she's wasting more energy than she could ever think of on a Strider. "Dave, that meteor is going to hit Texas anytime soon and you're giving me the 'I-don't-want-you-to-be-in-danger-shit'? Come on, don't make me laugh!" She spat in disgust.

Dave let go of her and said, "Kismesis it is, then."

Sarah, once again, raised an eyebrow towards Dave's terminology. "WTF, man."

"Let's just pretend that that meteor is a holographic projection made by the government to entertain people like you."

"Blah blah blah, something's up so fuck it, I'm gonna investigate whether you like it or not." She walked passed Dave, determined to at least know what's going on even without his permission.

The blonde quickly held a firm grasp on her wrist and she was, once again, trapped. "Sar, please." He said in a pleading tone that she was sure Dave never tried to use before. "I'm begging you, just this one time. I'm pretty sure the whole of America haven't known of this. And I'd like it if this meteor that you saw to be in a ditch, like a treasure that is buried within the depths of the earth. This has to be secret."

"Strider, don't sweet talk me but tell me what you are going to do about it."

"I'll surprise you."

Sarah weighed the pros and cons in letting Dave deal with the problem since there was nothing she was getting from the guy, "Deal with it." She said, holding up both her hands as if surrendering herself. "I'm so done with your lunacy for one day." She started walking away from Dave, who was at loss of words, Sarah chuckled darkly to herself as she made her way back to her apartment, mumbling like a madwoman. "Imagine that, one fucking day with the 'Dave Strider' and all the nostalgic events came into me like an influx of bad memories!" She complained to herself.

"Sayonara, you bastard!" The girl screamed, both her hands proudly displaying the glorious middle finger towards Dave.


Sarah didn't know how or why but she's seeing a red sky with two moons, a green one and a violet one. She was staring at the dim stars twinkling from a distance, as if hoping for something to change.

"Marjarah, what are you thinking of?" She looked to her right and saw a caped man, who was the source of the voice. He has these small candycorn-like things on top of his head but what caught her eyes were his red worried eyes that stared at her as if he knows Sarah for a long long time..

Ssarah didn't know who Marjarah was but she spoke up, as if she knows who this man is. "Oh, hey. I was just. . ." She faltered, not really knowing why she did that but her guts told her not to tell him yet.

"Just what?" He pushed a little bit more, sitting beside her from what seems to be like hard mossy rocks on top of a mountain. She saw his facial features a little bit more this time, he had bruises and some nasty looking scars but he has this aura of kindness that made her feel comfortable around him.

Sarah inhaled and exhaled, not really knowing what's going on, but she continued what her mouth says so. "Okay, see here, I have been getting twofold revelations lately. . I saw what you are unfolding in your sermons. Serene place. Amalgamated people."

She swore his eyes sparkled like a child's but she wasn't very sure. "Are you certain? How?"

The girl had the feeling of not wanting to disappoint him and replied in a very polite tone, "It is not clear for me but it was like I have lived a whole lifetime in Beforus." She looked down in her lap and noticed that her skin was gray and her nails were sharp and painted yellow. Sarah wasn't so sure why but she felt as if this doesn't bother her.

"This. . This is magnificent, Marjarah!" He exclaimed in happiness, holding both of her alien-like hands towards his chest. "It means that someone else apprehends what it feels like, having a caste-free milieu! Tell me more about your preceding life. This is so thrilling to hear."

"L-Look. . . I don't think I'm. ." She snatched her hands away and turned away from the man. Sarah hated herself for doing that but her gut tells her that this conversation is going to turn sour if she don't divert the topic. "Well, there was no blood caste but. . . The lime bloods are. . We're like mutants, exiles. But I've seen you in there and you are a natural orator. You are a leader, Signless." The name came out from her mouth in deep admiration, as if she has seen him do his magic and has never failed to surprise her. "Even in that life, I admire you for your resilient opinions and I am sure that we will overthrow that Condes and-"

He had a frown etched in his face when he asked, cutting her praises and compliments, "What's with the lime bloods?"

"It's- Let's not discuss about that. . ." She said, trying her best to sound not too suspicious but alas, lying wasn't her forte. "And besides, I've met Psii in that apparition, too."

"You don't sound. . pleased."

"It's just. . ." Sarah sighed and admitted, trying her best to not cry, "I just felt petrified. That moment when I woke up in that dream, I re-lived her life." As much as what she was saying confused Sarah, she talked as if this had been done years ago and she was re-living it. "She was rejected and oppressed and miserable, like me but far worse! I don't know but it ruined my heart, walking in the same shoes as you. Why did you wage rebellion? How come you're that strong?"

'Signless' hugged Sarah in a comforting way and patted her head that calmed her a little bit. "It's easy, because I don't want my descendants to suffer the same troubles I had."

She closed her eyes and tried to take in his wise words, "Your descendants. . ." She said after a minute of pondering, "How. . How will you know that the caste will never come back?"

"I just have to hope." The man said to her with a smile. He broke his embrace and patted her hands.

"Signless, hope and strength?" She questioned him, doubt filling her voice. "I don't have those. I'm sorry if my faith is not as strong as yours-"

"Is that the only thing you're worried about?" He asked and Sarah was forced to look away. After a moment of eerie silence between them, he chuckled non-chalantly, "Don't worry, I won't 'flip the fuck out'. I know about you and Psii."

"What?! H-How?" She panicked. Sarah didn't know who 'Psii' is yet she acted like it's a big deal.

"Wasn't it obvious?" Signless said in a teasing tone that confused her more.

Fear erupted in her chest and before she knew it, she said something that she was supposed to keep to herself. "We pailed, Signless. WE ACTUALLY FUCKING PAILED." Sarah didn't know what 'pailing' is but she was sure it was a bad thing because Signless' kind and gentle face looked outraged.

"WHAT THE FUCK, MARJARAH?!" She shivered at the intensity of his words. Even if she doesn't know him, it pained and crushed her heart, seeing him mad like this. "HOW- HOW CAN YOU TWO-"

Tears formed in the corner of her eyes and held his hands, "I'M SORRY!"

Sarah woke up in a cold sweat, tears flowing from her eyes. She stared at the ceiling and mumbled to herself, "That guy looked. . . familiar. And moreover, who the fuck is Psii?" She propped herself up with her elbows and saw the rays of sunshine that illuminated the room. "Why the fuck am I having weird dreams. I'm pretty sure I'm not depressed. . ." She rolled over the floor of the living area and saw the clock. "Holy crap, its eleven o'clock!" She screamed, realizing she's late for school.

A hum was heard from the kitchen and a feminine voice said, "Yes, darling and seriously, can't you at least sleep on the sofa?"

She grunted in annoyance and realized that it's Saturday, the day her mom comes back from work. "Ah. Fucking shit."


~[The Kankri Corner]~

Okay, as I've said, I'm gonna babble about my adventures here. No questions yet so I'll take this opportunity to share my experience as a girl version of the most handsome Jake English.

The first adventure was last Aug. 28 - 30. It was a spiritual expedition, as others might call it. Our school has this tradition wherein they'll bring us in a place and makes us reflect more on who we are and who we want to be in the future. As a senior student, we were given the chance to have a three day, two night stay in the said place. It was far from our city so we took the school bus and traveled for three whole hours. By the time we came to the mansion-like house, it was a drastic change of scenery and I loved every bit of it. I won't go into detail because it may bore you guys, I just want to say that it made me feel like wanting to metamorphose in a span of one day.

The second was last Tuesday and Wednesday. This adventure was more on mountain climbing, hiking, something dangerous that Jake would be more than happy to come with. Believe me, we went up a very steep and high mountain with no mountain or safety gear. Our safety only hangs in the rope called 'faith in God and in your body'. We went into a province and lived with the people there. Me and my moirail [boy or girl? im not gonna tell :3] were assigned in one house and was adopted by the family who owns that house. I was so happy since it reminded me so much of my province.

And the last adventure was last Friday. It was a fun day since all we did was play some native games in our country that aren't so 'mainstream' anymore. It made me and my classmates more closer and our bonds grew stronger. My flush crush even grew more closer with me as he practically spent half the day in my group or by my side. How lucky can I get, yeah?

Hahaha, anyway, I guess that's all you guys need to know since it's late and I need to go to sleep now, bye and thank you for reading this shitty rambling of mine! Bye guys! I hope you all enjoyed the update and stay tuned!
