ectoBiologist ceased pestering turntechGodhead at 3:05

TG: hahahahahaha

The next morning, Jade found herself sitting at a table with some of her best friends, including Feferi. She was seated next to her dorky, lisping boyfriend- something that made Jade green with envy. Not the good kind of green, either. Like, not the kind of green you want your plants to be when gardening! Like, the BAD type of green. For example, the Wicked Witch of the West type of green. It was like she was Elphaba and Feferi was Galinda, and they could not ever be together because STUPID FUCKING STEPHEN SCHWARTZ MADE IT SO THEY BOTH WERE STRAIGHT. ...Wait, what? Did Jade actually just think that? Usually, she would attempt to ignore thoughts such as that. However, at this particular moment, she was not ready to accept such facts. Okay, she was. She had a "Come-To-Jesus" in the shower this morning at 5:00 am, and she realized that she, indeed, was a lesbian. For one of her best friends, no less. It hadn't been unexpected, she supposed. She heard Dave and Rose tease her about it a million times before. But hell, it wasn't like she was about to admit to it, right? Just, the way Fef looked right now, still in her PJ's, with her curly, caramel-brown hair up in a messy bun. Fuck, what Jade would do to run her hands through that goddamned hair.

And so, she liked girls. She didn't really know what to think about it, but she guessed she did. She knew, however, that Feferi could never feel the same way about her. Feferi was straight, and not only that, but she had a boyfriend. And they claimed to love one another. Not to mention, they did look super cute together. Jade was not usually the type to get jealous, but she realized that she wanted to claw Sollux's stupid discolored eyes right out of his head. But Jade had been brought up to be a lady, and so she would do no such thing to anyone. She could not change the fact that Feferi would never like her, as much as she hated to admit it. So, she turned her emerald gaze back to the scrambled eggs on her paper plate.

It just so happened, that similar thoughts were crossing Feferi's mind at the same time. She knew she thought of Jade more than a friend, now. But didn't Jade date Dave for a while? That clearly meant she did not like girls. Plus, Feferi would have to break up with Sollux. This would be hard, because it seemed like he really was in love with her. She knew her best friend, Eridan, had a thing for Sol, but she wasn't sure if it would be nice to just dump him like that. In all honesty, she now realized that the only reason she began dating Sollux in the first place was to prove that she liked boys to Eridan. She had no idea he was in love with Sol at the time, but she did it anyway. She supposed she always knew deep down inside that there was more she felt about Jade Harley than she would ever let on...But then again, she would never let it on. She guessed it would probably be best to keep these things to herself. Even if they were going to the beach that day, and even if she would be forced to see Jade in a swimming suit...No, shit. She would not think about this. Thinking about things like this ruins the mind and hurts the body. Just ignore it, Fef. It will go away.

No it won't. Oh fuck, just break up with Sollux already!

Bro Rose

YOUR EXTREMELY SEXY BIG BRO IS CALLING YOU.

"Brother, dearest. How kind of you to ring me up."

"Yo sis. Sup?"

"Oh, nothing much really. We are all headed to the beach today, though."

"So you get to see some babes in bikinis. Niiiice."

"I suppose. However, I would never admit to thinking such things out loud, because it would make me feel like a miscreant pervert."

"Eh, I prefer penises myself."

"That is a way to put it bluntly."

"I'd rather be blunt than say nothing at all. Life's short, Lil' Sis."

"I'll take your word for it, considering the fact that you're practically an old man now."

"Hahaha, real funny. I'm only thirty."

"Right, of course. Was there any particular reason why you phoned me?"

"Well I was hopin to hear somethin interestin."

"Your drawl is appearing. Quite rapidly, indeed, actually."

"Oh, you and Dave think you're so goddamned funny. Speaking of which, how is the little twerp?"

"Still in the closet."

"You think he likes boys?"

"Who doesn't?"

"Ah, good point, girly. Who's the lucky guy?"

"All signs point to a certain Johnathan Egbert."

"Wait. Fuck. Seriously?"

"Why on Earth would I joke about that?"

"Shit. I gotta go talk to Dave."

"What? Why?"

"Look, sugarcakes. Big Bro'll explain at a later time. I gotta go talk to him about life."

"I'm going to pretend like that does not have strange connotations, and the fact that I believe that you are hiding something from me."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Fuck off, Lil Sis."

"Love you too, Bro."

YOUR CALL HAS SADLY ENDED.
