So I found a chance to upload this I hope you guys like it.

Karkat was led to his seat in the first class section; he pulled his laptop out of its case and plugged it into the power socket. The stewardess took his order, gave him some fresh water, and he slid the door closed so he could work in peace, he never thought he'd work in an office, let alone the general manager Betty Crocker, the largest baked goods dealer in the world. He opened his documents and pulled out spreadsheets to start his newest projections of the company finances, but just as he started Trollian started to go off. He opened it and saw it was his oldest friend, Karkat sighed and answered him:

Karkat logged off and started to work; sending emails to managers across the country, mapping out budgets for the sites, and sending the reports back to the CEO. Karkat finished his steak meal and started to check his account online, $76,078.60, and then laid back for a short rest.

Karkat woke up to the sound of the pilot telling everyone to buckle up and when the plane landed Karkat thanked God that he slept thru most of the seven hour flight but he wished he hadn't brought so much work since he still hadn't finished half of it. He exited the plane and made his way to the luggage terminal, from there he followed the signs to the lobby where he saw a familiar figure holding a sign that read "in2ufferable prick"

"Was that necessary?" Karkat questioned.

"Did it get your athenthion?" Sollux asked smirking.

"Yeah." Karkat said with a yawn.

"Then yeth, it was very netheththary." Sollux grabbed some of Karkat's bags and led his tired friend to the car. "Tho Gam thaid you were gonna thtay at their family cabin right?"

Karkat wiped his eyes and said, "Yeah, I'm grateful because it means I don't have to stay at my dad's place."

"Tell me you're at leatht going to thee them onthe, they've been athking about you for dayth." Sollux asked with concern reflecting thro his red and blue lenses. He pulled out his key fob and unlocked his fully decked out obsidian Lexus 2016 RC 200t.

Karkat opened the trunk and loaded his bags in, carefully stacking his electronics on top of everything else. "I'll see them, don't worry about it. Besides if everything happens like it used to then I'm sure we're all going to the Maryam's and Rosa was always like a mom to my dad." Karkat said as he made it to the passenger door. When he sat down on the black linear leather he almost fell asleep then and there, and counting the rings in the espresso wood trim was only making it worse.

"Lithen there ith a few thingth you need to know before you can go get comfy in your new home away from home." Sollux said as he started the car and turned the radio down to a low background noise. "Five yearth away from home maketh you mithth important thuff."

"Sollux it's two in the morning, I'm tired, and I'm hungry, can't this wait until tomorrow?" Karkat groaned as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer started to play.

Sollux changed the station to a classical station playing Carol of the Bells before saying, "No becauthe if we wait you'll be blindthided by it tomorrow, now thince you're hungry we can get thomething from McDonald'th." Without waiting for an answer he pulled into the drive-thru and ordered himself a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin meal and Karkat got a bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle meal. When they got on the road again Sollux said, "Ok tho the firtht thing you need to know ith that John and Vrithka are ethpecting."

Karkat nearly choked on his hashbrown but asked, "What? But they aren't even married."

"Right ok firtht thing, John and Vrithka have been married for two and a half yearth, second thing, they are ethpecting." Sollux corrected his order.

"Two and a half years? Are you serious?" Karkat realized he really had alienated everyone after the accident.

"Yeah, now what'th netht, oh right Mituna hath gotten better thinthe the aththident and Latula getth all the credit on that one. Tavroth and Vrithka got in a wreck while riding the buth four yearth ago, Tav ith paralythed from the waitht down and Vrithka lost her left eye to the ethplothion's fire and her arm needed to be amputated," at Karkat's horrified look Sollux added, "don't worry they had it the wortht. A truck driver fell athleep at the wheel, he hit where no one wath thitting and Vrithka and Tavroth were the oneth that puthed everyone to either thide. The driver forked over the cath for all the treatmentth that the twinth needed and John wath by their thide the whole time. He propothed ath thoon ath the got her prothetic."

"Heh, I leave and everyone gets in deep shit." Karkat remarked.

Sollux laughed and said, "Well in other newth, Kurloth ith getting married to a girl he'd been talking to over the internet. We told him that he thouldn't get involved over the internet."

"What was his reponse?" Karkat inquired through a mouthful of food knowing that their friend was prone to not think before he acted.

"Let'th jutht thay we were all glad he can't talk." Sollux said with a chuckle as he swallowed his last bite.

Karkat finished his McGriddle and soda before asking, "How are Latula and her mom doing?"

Sollux paused for a second and said, "They don't talk to anyone. I think you thhould vithit and athk them youthelf."

Karkat looked at his now empty cup and said, "I was afraid you'd say that."

The rest of the ride to the secluded cabin was spent listening to Christmas songs and idle chit chat. As they pulled into the driveway behind a green Sudan Karkat noticed that the snow here was soft and looked like the movies, nothing like what he dealt with back in New York. Sollux got out of the car and started to grab Karkat's bags while saying, "Tho I don't know if Gamthee told you but Kurloth hath thomeone living in one of the roomth, I'd imagine it'th hith becauthe they told them that you'd be thleeping in the mathter bedroom."

Karkat grabbed some bags and they made their way to the front door where Karkat grabbed the spare under a fake rock next to the door and unlocked it. "Well as long as they are a good roommate I'm fine with it." Karkat said as he put his stuff by the door. Karkat hung his coat up over what he guessed was his roommate's coat since it was still dark and hugged Sollux. "Thanks for picking me up Sollux."

"It wath no big deal," Sollux said as he returned the hug, "I knew you needed thome time with everyone again."

"I hope you're right, but you need to get home because it's around three thirty and you still have to drive back home." Karkat said as he walked Sollux out.

"Yeah and I really want to get out of here, thith cabin giveth me the creepth thometimes." Sollux said with a shiver that Karkat couldn't tell if it was the below freezing temperature or a fear of the woods.

"Well you head back then and text when you get back ok?" Karkat said as Sollux rushed to his car.

Sollux opened his car door a yelled, "I will, you get plenty of retht becauthe everyone ith gonna want to thee you tomorrow." Then Sollux drove out leaving Karkat to find what would be his room for the next two weeks.

Karkat walked upstairs to where the bedrooms where and saw a dim color changing light under the door of Kurloz's room where he guessed his friend was staying. He walked down the hall and opened the master bedroom door, he walked to the master bathroom and washed his face before he fell on the bed and drifted off to sleep with the sounds of the woods outside.
