Prince of Heart- Yes, of course, an intermission with no relation to the main plot. Perfect. This and next chapter will be intermissions, with a certain black quadrant being filled in next one. Motherfucking honk.

Huffing as he finally stopped at the designated landmark-a large test tube which had once held some sort of lusus-Eridan kept himself softly jogging on the spot in the wide, packed in room full of similar test tubes. He and Terezi had set up a few landmarks shortly after the meteor was launched into the seemingly never ending abyss of space to use as simple references for the two in their all-too routine work out sessions. The two had tried, successfully they might add, to keep a steady routine to keep themselves healthy and fit. Unlike Karkat or Kanaya, whom seemed to never gain weight no matter what they ate, or Rose and Dave, whom had God Tier powers to help them stay active, Eridan and Terezi didn't have such a luxury, having to work out as to not end up lazy and portly for the final confrontation with whatever the hell awaited them in the new session.

He took a deep breath, stopping his jogging, and ran a hand through his sweat-moistened hair. While not a big fan of stripping of his layers, he found it only necessary to take off his cape, scarf, and sweater, whilst keeping his normal striped pants, a pair of shoes Dave gave him, and a white t-shirt with his sign on it. He placed one of his hands on the test tube, careful not to touch the dried up green goo that originally filled it, and watched as the other two of his companions jogged into the room as well.

Terezi was the first to enter, a little sweaty just as Eridan was. Unlike Eridan though, she had a specific outfit she liked to wear while the two exercised: a pair of grey and baggy tracksuit pants, a white crop top showing her toned arms and with her sign just above her breasts, and a pair of white joggers. Following close behind was an extremely tired Dave, much more so than the two trolls. He was completely drenched in sweat, his clothes, poorly suited for exercising and consisting of his signature red and white tee with a record on it, a pair of jeans, and some red and white sneakers. Along with his Ben Stiller approved pair of shades, of course.

They both stopped behind him, Dave falling to his hands and knees whilst heavily heaving and coughing, "what *huff* the fuck *huff*." He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked up at Terezi as she began stretching out her legs on the tube. Eridan was genuinely surprised at how flexible the girl was, watching her leg crawl up the tube and stop just above her head.

"WH4T 1S 1T D4V3?" Terezi gloated. "TH1S TOO MUCH FOR 4 SQU1SHY HUM4N SUCH 4S YOURS3LF?"

"who the *huff* hell you calling *huff* squishy? ill show you *huff* squishy when i *huff* slap your butt young *huff* lady."

Terezi stuck out her teal tongue at him. "TRY 4ND 1LL HURT YOU."

"well shit its like you *huff* want to start a kistmeanie with *huff* me. thats it. matespring recinded. were now in full blown *huff* hate love."

"OK4Y NOW YOUR3 JUST S4Y1NG TH3 QU4DR4NTS WRONG ON PURPOS3 TO M4K3 M3 4NGRY. BUT 1 WONT G1V3 1N TO YOUR 4GGR4V4T1NG. B3C4US3 1 4M TH3 B3TT3R P3RSON."

Dave straightened up, finally gaining his composure again. "bullshit youre just as bad as me if not worse. like fuck remember when you murdered john? or more like dont remember because it was another timelines version of you. you didnt have a god damn second thought sending that idiot straight up into deaths arms to be cradled like the innocent baby he is where he was rocked to death by his asshole denizen daddy,"

"WH4T TH3 H3LL 4R3 YOU T4LK1NG 4BOUT?"

"time stuff. you wouldnt get it. god i need to talk to that other slightly less hot troll girl more often." Dave unsteadily walked over to the tube Terezi had her leg on, and leaned on it beside her. "so we ready to call it a day and go make out somewhere or what?"

"fuck no," Eridan called out from behind them. "wwe got another lap to run around the meteor."

"another fucking lap. youre kidding me. tell you what tz ill do it if you motivate me with the most passionate kiss youve ever done in your life."

Terezi let her leg fall to the ground, and crossed her arms. "NO W4Y! WH3N 1 TR13D TH4T TH1S MORN1NG YOU 4CT1V4T3D THOS3 W31RD WH33L SHO3S 4ND ROD3 4ROUND M3!"

Dave rolled his eyes. "oh come on babe it wont happen this time. promise."

Terezi narrowed her eyes at him, examining his blank face, before sighing, "4LR1GHT TH3N. BUT 1F YOU PULL OUT THOS3 WH33LS W3R3 BR34K1NG UP."

Dave outstretched his arms and gestured Terezi to come and embrace him, which the girl attempted to comply. She stepped forward reluctantly, nearly about to wrap her arms around his neck, before he clicked his heels together to reveal a pair of wheels inside his shoes.

He then proceeded to roll in a couple of circles around her on his Heelys, saying, "psyche bitch the swag never stops."

Terezi scrunched up her face at the boys antics, watching him then go to circle around Eridan, and walked over to the Prince. "TH4TS 1T R3L4T1ONSH1P OV3R," she wrapped one arm around Eridan. "3R1D4N 1S MY N3W BOYFR13ND."

"uh yeah i wwouldnt be so hasty." Eridan clicked his shoes just as Dave did, revealing his own pair of Heelys, and slowly began to roll forward, stretching out his arms to balance himself. "man humans wwere wworthless as a wwarring species but they made some pretty neat fashion accessories."

Terezi turned her head from the boys in disappointment. "GOD 1 H4T3 BOTH OF YOU. 1LL B3 1N MY ROOM."

Terezi, while still maintaining her disappointed look, clicked her heels to reveal a layer of hypocrisy never imagined. The wheels extended, and she instantly rolled forward, still maintaining her same pose. Dave stopped beside Eridan, his mouth slightly curved into a smile as she disappeared behind a wall.

"god damn i love that girl," he said, sighing happily. "im going to marry her one day."

"i dont givve a shit wwhat you do in your spare time," Eridan replied.

"well i better follow her. make sure she doesnt get in any blind person shenanigans licking up other people and shit. you coming?"

"sure wwhy the fuck not?"
