CHAPTER 18 IS HERE! Enjoy it :) Hussie=owns everything related to his webcomic Homestuck.

Jade smiles and rests her head against Dave's arm as she hears the announcement repeat one last time. "Dave! We're home!"

"Mmmm...not now Harley. I'm getting my beauty sleep..."

"Dave! The plane has landed! We're supposed to be getting off!" She plants kisses all over his face, which causes Dave to smile and pull Jade into a tight headlock.

"Dave let me go!" She's giggling like a madwoman.

"Nope. You messed with the wrong guy Harley."

"Daaaave c'mon! Look Dirk is already at the exit!"

Dave turns his head towards the exit door to see that Dirk already had all of their bags in his hands and his next step would be to first, order pizza, and then call a cab to take them all home. Dave smirks before he turns his focus back to Jade and he squeezes the tip of her nose, causing her face to wrinkle up like an adorable raisin.

"Okay Harley, I'll let you go...but under one condition." His straight faced demeanor returns as his shaded eyes focus on Jade's face completely.

"Oh? And what would that be cool kid?"

"You have to…."

"What?"

"Are you sure you're up for it? I mean, it's pretty risky."

"I can do it! Just tell me what you want!"

"I don't know...you're still pretty innocent and naive for this job…"

"Oh my god! Dave Elizabeth Strider, tell me what you want me to do!"

"...Jesus Harles, you didn't have to pull the 'i'm calling you by your whole name' card. All I was gonna ask is…" Dave changes his serious expression into a cute one, complete with a pout, "Could you read me a bedtime story and tuck me in tonight?"

"WHAT?"

"You heard me Harley! I want a bedtime story and a tuck in while I sip my apple juice. Of course...I could always keep you in this position, even when we get off the plane.." He tightens the grip a little, causing Jade's eyes to grow wide with fear.

"Okay Dave! I'll do it! I'll do it! But I'm kinda shocked..."

"Shocked at what Harley? Shocked that a cool kid, like myself, enjoys the simplest things in life that are often considered 'childish'. Pshh please Harley, bedtime stories are the shit and if you don't agree with that statement, I question your ratings on the cool kid meter."

Jade smiles and shakes her head as she and Dave leave the plane, hand in hand.

"So I know someone who would LOVE to see you."

Jade's eyes light up immediately, "Really?! Who is it?"

"Oh you know, someone adorable, cool, extremely fun…"

"Wow Strider, I didn't think your girlfriend would wanna meet me."

Dave tenses up as he hears the voice he'd been hoping to avoid until tomorrow. What was she doing here?! How did she even know his terminal number?! All Dave knew for sure right now was that shit was about to go down.

"Sup Megido."

"Oh don't you 'sup' me Strider or should I say BOYFRIEND."

Jade stares at Aradia silently and holds onto Dave's arm tighter than usual.

"Look Megido...I was gonna tell you tomorrow at school."

"Bullshit! Does she even know what happened between us while she was in Hawaii?!" Aradia finally acknowledges Jade's presence by turning to her with a pissed look on her face, "Did you use your island voodoo magic to seduce him while he was attending your brother's funeral?"

"Megido, shut up!"

"You shut up! I'm talking to her." Aradia grabs Jade by the shoulders and digs her nails deep into her shoulders, causing her to hiss in pain, "Why don't you go back to your island and leave us alone? Dave will probably just cheat on you again. I mean, he cheated on you with me, so it just makes sense that he'll do it again."

Now it's Jade's turn to be pissed. She slaps Aradia across the cheek and grabs her by her shirt, staring deep into her eyes, "You obviously need to get your facts straight because Dave loves ME. You should have realized, the only reason he went out with you for a day is because he needed love and attention from someone while we were in the period of being broken up. Do you honestly think he'd fall deeply in love with you in one day?"

"S...Shut up!"

Jade puts her hand on Aradia's shoulder and squeezes it gently, "Dave did tell me everything back at the hotel. I know he won't cheat on me because his love for me is deeper than the sea. Please, just go home and leave me and Dave alone. I mean, if you really loved Dave, wouldn't you wanna see him happy?"

Aradia stands there completely speechless as she look down at the floor and closes her eyes, "I..I'm sorry. I'll be leaving now...Dave, I think it's best if we don't talk to each other, or even see each other, ever again. Jade, same goes with you." Aradia quickly runs out of the airport and back to her sister's car, that is now empty.

"God damn it Damara! Where the hell did you go?!"

"私はあなたがストライダー好き。あなたはとても筋肉とホットしている。あなたは大きなペニスを持っている必要があります。"

"I don't know what the hell you just said babe but that sounded so sugoi."

Damara laughs as she grabs Dirk by the shirt and pulls him in for a kiss. "神様あなたは私が本当に角質作っている!我々はいくつかのアクションのためにあなたの場所にどの程度を越える? You like?"

Dirk smirks and slaps her ass, causing Damara to let out an excited squeal, "Yeah babe, I like. You make my dick go doki doki."

Damara lets out a sexy, evil laugh as she pushes Dirk into the cab. As she's about to dive in, she's stopped by a certain cranky sister.

"Damara! Get your ass back in your car, we're going home!"

"イエス·キリストAradia!このようなコックブロックであることを停止!あなたの姉は、いくつかのホットアクション今夜を望んでいる!"

"Jesus! Can you not be horny for at least 5 seconds! C'mon! I just wanna sleep!"

"Is there a problem Babe?"

Aradia moves closer to the cab and sees a man that looks alot like an older and much more toned Dave. "Oh God...it's another Strider."

Dirk tips his shades slightly and flashes Aradia a smile, "Whoa, are we heading towards a threeway?"

Damara turns towards Aradia and flashes her a smile, "勘弁してくれよ!私は彼が、同時に私達の両方を喜びすることができ、大きなチンポを持っていると思う!"

"Huh. How about a no fucking thank you! Look, I'm gonna drive home, but don't expect me to pick you up at three in the morning."

"えええええ私のおっぱいを吸う。私はちょうど私を降ろし、ここで熱いものをもらおう。Bye Bye!"

Aradia rolls her eyes and makes her way back to her sister's car, bringing a heavy heart and troubled mind with her."

Jade observes Dave quietly as they make their way to the pick up area to meet with Dirk. It's clear as crystal that Dave had a troubled mind full of guilt and sadness, something Jade had seen when they broke up. She entwines her fingers with his and rubs her thumb against his hand, "I'm not mad at you cool kid, so you don't have any reason to be sad."

"Yeah...but Harley, I screwed a girl over. I mean, even if i didn't have true feelings for her, it still hurts knowing that she liked me alot and I just used her like a toy."

Jade frowns and steps in front of him, so that now he has no choice but to look into her eyes, "Dave, listen to me. You're going to see her at school tomorrow, so just explain everything you told me back at the hotel! If she still gives you an attitude, then it's not your problem anymore. I'm sure everything's going to be fine!"

"How do you know that Harley?"

Jade flashes him a toothy grin and brings his hand up her face, "Because you're Dave Strider, cool kid extraordinaire, and the sweetest guy I know."

Dave smiles and pinches her cheek lightly as he wraps his arm around her shoulder and they continue walking, "Thanks Harles. I can always count on you to put a big dumb smile on my face."

"Hey it's an adorable dumb smile!" Jade sticks out her tongue.

Dave smiles, "Okay...so where'd doofus numero uno run off to?"

Jade scans the area and point to the only blue cab in the long line of cars, "He's in there but with some lady…"

"...The fuck?" Dave grabs Jade's hand as he makes his way over to the cab quickly. "Sup Bro?"

"Sup lil' man. Have you met Damara?"

Dave turns his head towards the woman leaning against Dirk's shoulder. There was something oddly familiar about this woman. Long, flowly dark hair, Asian, goth looking.

"Sup...you wouldn't be related to Aradia Megido, would you?"

"私はホット尻午前たら?あなたは、私がイエスと言えば難しい私をファックつもりですか?"

"...Huh?"

Dirk smiles and places a kiss on Damara's cheek, "Isn't she a lady with words? I swear to God, Japanese babes are the hottest."

Jade and Dave both look at each other before turning their attention back to the odd, horny couple.

"Bro...let's just go home."

"Hell yeah. I just wanna be in my room with this lil' lady."

Damara winks and lays her head against his chest, "Cool."

Dave opens the door for Jade before he hops in the back seat, next to Damara.

The cab driver tips his hat and sets off for the penthouse.

"So...how long have you known my brother?"
"Four five minutes."

"Four to five minutes?"

"No! Four five minutes!"

"Oh...well that's cool?"

Jade smiles and turns her head towards the back seat, "So Dirk, are you gonna get serious with this one?"

Dirk smirks and wraps his arm around Damara, "It all depends on her."

The rest of the car ride is awkward and quiet. Damara and Dirk were busy making out and Jade had cracked her neck several times when turning around to talk to Dave. In five minutes, they finally arrive at the penthouse."

"That will be twenty two dollas please."

Dave takes out a twenty and grabs two dollars from Dirk's pocket, "Thanks alot."

Dirk and Damara exit the cab quickly, almost tripping over each other, as they make their way up to the room.

Dave sighs and helps Jade get the bags out of the trunk. "Stairs or elevator Harley?"

"Hmm...how about the elevator!"

"Whoa! Are you sure you're up for it?"

Jade laughs and gives him the ok pose, "Please. I can handle anything as long as I'm with you!"

"Yeah...you're in the hands Mr. Awesome. No fear, the Strider is here."

"Besides, I heard you could break your neck on the stairs, crack your head open, alot of scary stuff with stairs."

"Harley...did you just tell me about the dangers of stairs."

"I think so. Why?"

"...I may use that in the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff comic I'm working on. Thanks for that." He presses the button to go up and the two of them inside."

"Hey Dave, do you think I could get a job here?"

"Hell yeah Harley. With your charm, you can can a job in a snap."

Jade smiles and looks down at the floor, "I just...I can't believe that I'm finally here with you. Sometimes I think that this is all just a dream and i'll wake up from it any second."

Dave gives Jade a quick pinch, causing her to squeal and rub her arm, "What was that for?!"

"It's not a dream Harley. The pinch trick didn't work."

Jade smiles and kisses his cheek, "Are you sure I won't be a burden to you and Dirk?"

"Hell no."

The elevator finally reaches their floor and they make their way down the long hallway and stop in front of their room.

Dave fiddles for the key, unlocks the door, and pushes it open slowly. Jade grins from ear to ear as she captures the familiar area that is now considered her second home.

"Welcome home Babe. This time, you're staying forever."

What Damara is saying:

*I like you Strider. You're so muscular and hot. You must have a big dick.

*God you're making me really horny! How about we go over to your place for some action?

*Jesus Aradia! Stop being a cock block and let me get some hot action tonight.

*C'mon! I think he has a big cock that can pleasure the both of us at the same time!
