"W3LL, HOW'S K4N4Y4 DOING?" asks Terezi.
The human holds the sleeping troll in her arms, one hand slowly petting up and down her matesprits hair.
"She's asleep."
"THAT'S GOOD," Karkat pauses, "HER BODY TOOK QUITE A FUCKING BLOW EARLIER."
"yeah she was bitten by two fucking zombies." Dave says.
"Her body was fighting off the veneom . . . Venom." Roxy adds.
"she's lucky that she's still here." John says.
"im curi0us n0w, j0hn said s0mething ab0ut a nightmare." Aradia calmly says.
"mind telling us ab0ut it, r0se?" Sollux asks.
Rose bites her lip, she glances over at John, then down at her troll lover.
"You were all fighting, but I wasn't there," She pauses, "and Kanaya was fighting Vriska, you all were held down by spiderweb. Everything became black and I heard a scream."
"A SCREAM?"
John nods his head.
"kanaya's scream."
"WH4T?"
"Then I was outside a tent, John came out and I saw tears in his eyes," Rose pauses, "then the rest of you came out, I asked what was going on, Karkat said 'I'm sorry.' And I gasp a little, still confused, Terezi then said . . ."
Rose choked on the words.
"1 S41D WH4T?"
"You told me that . . ." Rose's tears fill in her eyes, "That she was dead."
Everyone, exept John, are speechless.
"W-WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED NEXT?"
"Sollux told me to go see her; before we had to put her body in the ground," Rose pauses, tears falling from her cheeks, "one last time."
Sollux stays frozen, not sure what to say or do.
"I head into the tent, and I saw her body, a ring was around her finger . . . And now I am no longer confused about that . . ."
"SO, YOU STAYED WITH HER FOR A LONG TIME," Karkat pauses, "AND YOU TWO WERE MARRIED?"
"Yes."
"1'M SORRY TH4T TH1S 1S H4PP3N1NG ROS3."
"I haven't had this nightmare for a while."
"maybe talking to me about it made your mind be calm." John says, smiling at his friend.
"I guess."
"its getting late," Dave pauses, yawning, "we should probably all hit the hay."
"H1T TH3 H4Y?"
"i mean that we should all get some sleep."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU FUCKING SAY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE, DUMBASS?" Karkat pauses, "I AM STILL TRYING TO GET USED TO YOUR STUPID FUCKING HUMAN SHITTY TALK."
"what the hell do you mean by that vantas?"
"YOUR METAFORES," Karkat pauses again, "THEY CONFUSE THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF ME."
"GUYS STOP!" Terezi pauses, "COM3 ON, T1M3 FOR B3D."
...
Later that night, Kanaya, fully awake, takes watch. Sollux, who really never truely fallen asleep, slowly starts walking away from the camp. Not knowing that he was being followed.
"Sollux Where Are You Going"
"d0nt try t0 st0p me kan," he pauses, "im g0ing 0ut there t0 l00k f0r a way t0 st0p this . . . even if it c0sts my life."
"What Are You Talk . . ."
"d0nt even start 0n that bullshit kanaya."
"What Am I Doing Wrong"
"please, g0 back t0 camp," he pauses, "and tell aa that im flushed f0r her."
"Sollux"
"n0w g0!"
"If I Ever See You Again" Kanaya pauses, "I Would Like To See A Smile On Your Face Alright"
"i really wish id didnt have t0 d0 this."
The jade troll feels something hit her in the head, her world went black.
"alright, ill smile just f0r y0u." Was the last thing she heard before passing out.
