"Yeah." he smiled, running his fingers through his hair. "Mmmm..."

"Then why the hell didn't you act like it?" He asked, looking up at Sollux. "I remember crying in my room for 3 days because I thought you hated me at one point..."

"I don't know." he frowned. "I had a lot on my mind." he pondered. "I felt like... I truly wath nothing but a mutant freak. My mind wath tho methed up."

"So we've been matesprits for... 3 sweeps? Wow..." Karkat said softly, leaning against Sollux again. "That's a long time..."

Sollux smiled. "Yeah... I think it'th been good for all of uth." he said, grinning. "You're leth of an angry perthon and I wath able to get my life on track. I love you tho much." he leaned over, gently touching his face.

"You're too sweet. Like honey..." Karkat laughed, nuzzling into the warm hand of his matesprit and best friend. "I love you Sollux."

Sollux snuggled against him.

Moments later, there was a large boom. The windows rattled. "Fuck!" Sollux cried out, getting up out of bed, grabbing his glasses. He ran to the window, looking out. It was just getting bright outside. He looked around wildly at the source of the boom. It had been a sonic boom... Something broke the speed of sound as it broke through the sound barrier. He looked and saw a massive ship entering the atomosphere. "O-Oh no..." he whispered.

Karkat stood behind him. "Sollux..." He whimpered. "We have to warn the others! I'll go tell Gam and Tav, you call Fef!" Karkat pulled on a pair of pants and ran out of the apartment as fast as his legs could carry him, not worrying about anyone seeing him as what he was, a troll. "Gamzee! Open the door! She's here!"

Gamzee got off the couch. "That's what the noise was? Fuck!" He went back inside, holding Tavros close to him.

Tavros was shaking violently, clinging to Gamzee for dear life. "Oh gog... Oh gog... Oh gog..."

Sollux grabbed the phone and called Feferi. His voice was rushed. "F-Fef?" he gasped into the phone as he pulled on clothes. "T-Theth here..." he said, his voice hushed. He ran into the other room, turning on the TV. All stations were turned to the sky, showing every bit that was happening. She was going to Europe like in the dream. He felt his hands shake as he watched the Condesce and a strange man walk out of the ship into the palace like they had in his dream. He ran outside after he had hung up the phone and looked up to the sky seeing hundreds of thousands of ships enter. They were invading. He turned back around to run to his apartment and his worst fear was realized as he ran into something hard enough, falling backwards, his head reeling as all he saw was black.

"Fuck! Sollux!" Karkat ran over after seeing Sollux run into James. "James... Help me get him inside." James nodded and gently picked him up.

"So this is the dream that Sollux had been having... Fuck man." They went up to their apartment. Karkat went into the closet, pulling out both of his sickles.

"Go get some ice from the freezer. I'll stay with him." Karkat ordered James and he obliged.

Sollux groaned after a few minutes of unconsciousness. "Nnnngh..." he felt his head spin as he opened his eyes, seeing Karkat. "O-Oh gog..." he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes closing again, his hand going to his head. "Fuck..."

"You ran head first into James..." Karkat told him, putting one of his sickles down and stroking Sollux's cheek gently. "Are you okay love? I mean like physically."

"I will be." he said, sitting up slowly. "My head hurtth but I'll be fine." he heard screaming from outside. "We have to go out there..." he whispered, looking over at James. "You... Pleathe...be careful. We're dealing with... Bad bad thingth."

James stood at the window, looking out. "Like the purple thing coming toward the building?"

"T-Thit!" Sollux got up, running to the door. His head was in a lot of pain, but he didn't care. He checked right outside the door before running to the room right below them. He banged on the door. "GAMTHEE!" He screamed. "GAMTHEE OPEN THE DOOR NOW!"

Gamzee opened the door, his eyes glaring a demonic purple. "It's him... My motherfucking ancestor... I know." He said softly. "I'm leaving Tav with you and I swear if you let anything happen to him. I will cull you." He turned, clubs in hand as he went to face his ancestor, the baddest motherfucker of them all.

Karkat had followed Sollux. "Let's go get Tav..." Karkat said softly.

Tavros had somehow managed to crawl his way into the bathroom.

Sollux walked into the apartment, shutting the door behind him. "Tavroth!" He called out.

Tavros didn't answer. He was curled up in the bathroom, holding on tight to a stuffed animal, clinging to it for dear life. "N-Nnn..." he quivered, his body shaking so hard. He had gotten sick twice already. He cringed, sobs shaking him.

"He hides in the bathroom when he's scared." Karkat said softly. "Tav, its Karkat and Sollux."

Sollux walked into the bathroom, eliciting a scream from Tavros, who looked absolutely petrified. "Thhhh..." he walked over to him. "Hey... Ith gonna be okay..." He touched his cheek.

"G-Gamzee... W-W-Where's Gamzee?"

"He went to fight his ancestor..." Karkat said softly. "He had your shirt on..."
