Note: Karkat Is VERY out of character in this chapter, so don't criticize how he acts. Thanks.

Alice's Point Of View

When Karkat arrived, I was upstairs in my room picking out an outfit to wear. I heard a really weird noise downstairs, but I was only half dressed at the time. I quickly threw on my gray tank top and ran downstairs, almost falling on my face.

And there he was, standing a few feet away from me. Karkat Vantas. I didn't know what do so I started to cry. He turned to me and I hugged him, crying into his chest. I could tell he was kind of shocked at first because he didn't hug me back right away. I can't believe he's really here, holding me-

"Alice…" he said, his breath right on my neck.

I don't know what I wanted to do at that moment… I wanted to moan, to touch him, for him to touch me… at the same time though; I didn't want to rush into the relationship. I want to have a long lasting relationship with him.

We finally pulled away from each other and I looked at him. I reached my hand up and touched his cheek; he let me and closed his eyes, putting his hand on mine. Tears began to fill my eyes again.

"I- I'm so glad you're here Karkat…" I said, holding back my tears.

He opened his eyes and leaned into me.

"I'm glad to be here with you Alice…" he said, leaning in closer, making his lips touch mine. I leaned into him, kissing him back as I felt his arms wrap around my waist. My arms rested on his shoulders, my hands locked around his neck.

When we pulled away he looked at me and smiled, showing off his pointed teeth. I smiled back and giggled.

"You're really cute for a troll ya know." I said.

"And you're pretty cute for a human." He replied as he continued to smile at me. "Ya know, I've never been this happy before. I never in a million years thought I would find a matesprit."

"Is that what you call a girlfriend in Alternia?" I asked.

"Pretty much yeah." He replied.

"Well, I never thought I would find a boyfriend. Especially not a troll from another planet." I said, smiling at him.

"You're going to have to teach me all about earth and your earth terms for everything." He said, smiling back.

"Oh don't you worry, I have a lot I have to teach you." I said, turning my smile into a smirk.

After that, we went over to the couch and sat down. I turned the TV on and we watched it for a while before I ended up falling asleep in his arms.

Karkat's POV

AFTER SHE FELL ASLEEP, I GOT UP AND WENT TO HER LAPTOP. I COULDN'T LOG INTO MY TROLLIAN ACCOUNT SO I JUST USED ALICE'S PESTERCHUM TO CONTACT SOLLUX.

MA: HEY SOL IT'S KARKAT.

TA: oh hey. Why are you using aliice's account?

MA: BECAUSE I CAN'T GET TO TROLLIAN FROM EARTH APPARENTLY. SO I LOGGED INTO ALICE'S ACCOUNT INSTEAD.

- melodicAria [MA] ceased pestering twinArmageddons [TA] -

I DELETED THE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH SOLLUXAND LOGGED OFF PESTERCHUM JUST AS ALICE WAS WAKING UP.

"HEY" SHE SAID AS SHE GOT UP, STREACHING.

I SMILED AT HER. "HEY"

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH MY LAPTOP?" SHE ASKED.

"JUST TALKING TO SOLLUX. TELLING HIM THAT I GOT HERE OKAY AND STUFF LIKE THAT." I REPLIED.

"OH OKAY. HEY I'M HUNGRY, HOW ABOUT YOU? WE CAN ORDER CHINESE FOOD OR PIZZA" SHE SAID.

"UM, ALRIGHT." I SAID, UNSURE OF WHAT THOSE FOODS WERE. I SAT BACK ON THE COUCH AS SHE PICKED UP THE PHONE.

WE DECIDED ON GETTING PIZZA, SOME GARLIC KNOTS AND WINGS, WHICH CAME WITH A FREE 2 LITER OF PEPSI.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO UNTIL IT GETS HERE?" SHE ASKED. "I DON'T KNOW, WATCH TV I GUESS." I ANSWERED.

"OR… WE COULD NOT WATCH TV AND MAKE OUT ON THE COUCH" SHE SAID IN AN UNUSUALLY SEXY VOICE.

I NEVER IMAGINED HER TO BE LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE. I FELT MY FACE GET REALLY HOT. SHE GIGGLED.

"YOUR SO CUTE KARKAT." SHE SAID, MOVING CLOSER TO ME.

SHE THREW HER ARMS AROUND ME AND KISSED ME, AND I KISSED HER BACK MOVING BACK TWARDS THE COUCH.

WE MADE OUT FOR A WHILE BEFORE THE PIZZA CAME. THE DOORBELL RANG AND ALICE GOT UP TO ANSWER THE DOOR. I COULDN'T GO TO THE DOOR BECAUSE, WELL MY APPEARANCE WOULD PROBABLY FREAK OUT THE DELIVERY GUY. SHE CAME BACK AND SET THE PIZZA BOX ON THE TABLE. THEN GOT OUT A BOTTLE OF SODA, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE FAYGO…. SHE HAD FUCKING FAYGO.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?" I SAID, ALMOST UNAWARE I SAID IT.

SHE LOOKED AT ME WEIRD. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? DO YOU NOT LIKE FAYGO?" SHE ASKED.

"WELL- IT'S JUST GAMZEE DRINKS IT ALL THE TIME AND TALKS ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S A FUCKING MIRACLE… ITS JUST SODA…" I SAID, NOT ANSWERING WEATHER OR NOT I LIKE IT, BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY NO TO HER FOR SOME REASON.

"SO, DO YOU WANT FAYGO OR NOT?" SHE ASKED STILL HAVING A CONFUSED LOOK ON HER FACE.

"WELL- YEAH I GUESS I'LL HAVE SOME…" I SAID, NOT WANTING TO UPSET HER.

"WELL IT SOUNDS TO ME YOU DON'T LIKE IT. I COULD GET YOU SOME REGULAR PEPSI COLA IF YOU'D RATHER HAVE THAT." SHE SAID SMILING.

"UH… YEAH I WOULD RATHER HAVE PEPSI ACTUALLY." I SAID.

SHE SMILED AGAIN AND POURED HERSELF SOME BLACKCHERRY FAYGO AND GOT A BOTTLE OF PEPSI FOR ME. THEN WE BOTH SAT AT THE TABLE AND ATE OUR PIZZA TOGETHER. THE PIZZA WAS SUPRISINGLY NOT HALF BAD. IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF GOOD…

AFTER WE FINISHED EATING, ALICE CLEANED OFF THE TABLE AND PUT THE LEFTOVER PIZZA INTO A CONTAINER OF SOME SORT. I SAT AT THE TABLE AND WAITED FOR HER TO FINISH TO SEE WHAT WE WOULD DO NEXT.

Alice's POV After I cleaned up dinner…

"So- since you'll be staying here for a while you'll need to see where you're going to sleep." I said smiling at him.

"Oh okay." he replied.

"Follow me" I said, heading upstairs.

He followed. I showed him my parents' old room and my room. Then the spare room where he would be staying.

"You'll be staying here." I said.

"That's a really weird recooperacoon… There's no slime." He said.

"It's a bed silly. Beds don't have slime." I said.

"What? That's weird. He replied.

I laughed. "No, you're weird. You sleep in slime."

"Well, slime keeps my skin smooth." He said.

"Well you'll have to get use to beds now." I told him.

"Well I guess so." He said.

"Tomorrow we'll go for a walk around the neighborhood." I said.

"Cool sounds like fun." He replied.

"So um, I guess I'll see you in the morning." I said smiling at him.

"Oh um yeah." He said as he leaned down and kissed me on the cheek. "See you in the morning." He went to the spare room and shut the door, which made me wonder how he slept exactly, especially since he slept in slime on Alternia.

Anyway, I made my way to my room and slipped into my PJ's. I got into bed shortly after that and went to sleep.

I kept thinking about Karkat… About him being on earth, and wondering if I was dreaming this whole time… I dreamt that when I woke up he was gone…

I woke up in the middle of the night and just sat up in my bed. I looked at my door, looking towards the spare room's door. It was still closed, just as Karkat had closed it a few hours ago. I was tempted to get up and check to see if he was still there, but I was afraid to get up…

I got up anyway and walked over to the door. I put my ear against it to see if I could hear proof of his existence on the other side, but I heard nothing… Then I got the courage to turn the knob and slowly open the door and peek into the room. I saw the clock across the way, it was 3:30 am. Then I looked down at the bed… and to my relief, there he was, sound asleep. I let out a silent sigh of relief and crept back out of his room, shutting the door quietly behind me. Then I went back to bed.

Karkat's POV

THE NEXT MORNING, I ALMOST FORGOT WHERE I WAS. I SAT UP IN THE BED AND LOOKED AROUND REMEMBERING THAT I WAS AT ALICE'S HOUSE. I GOT UP AND WENT TO HER ROOM, BUT HER BED WAS MADE AND SHE WASN'T THERE. I PRACTALLY RAN DOWN THE STAIRS AND INTO HER KITCHEN.

"OH HEY, MORNING KARKLES" SHE CHIMED.

"HEY…" I MANAGED TO SAY.

"IS EVERYTHING OKAY?" SHE ASKED. "YOU KIND OF RAN DOWN THE STAIRS LIKE LIGHTINING."

"EVERYTHING'S FINE, JUST FINE…" I SAID, GOING OVER TO HER. SHE WAS COOKING SOME KIND OF YELLOW AND WHITE FLUFFY THINGS.

"THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. I HOPE YOU LIKE EGGS WITH TOAST AND BACON" SHE SAID WITH A SMILE.

"YEAH SOUNDS GOOD" I SAID. SINCE SHE HAD ALREADY MADE IT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO AGREE TO EAT IT AND MAKE HER HAPPY.

"DID YOU SLEEP WELL?" SHE ASKED AS SHE PUT THE YELLOW AND WHITE SLOP ON A PLATE WITH THE TOAST AND BLACKENED BACON.

"YEAH, HOW ABOUT YOU?" I ANSWERED.

"OH FINE" SHE SAID. "I HAD A BIT OF A BAD DREAM THOUGH." SHE SAID, SETTING THE PLATES DOWN ON THE TABLE.

"WHAT WAS IS ABOUT?" I ASKED CURIOUSLY.

"OH IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER BECAUSE IT DIDN'T COME TRUE." SHE SAID, SMILING AGAIN. I REALLY LIKE IT WHEN SHE SMILES.

"OH WELL ALRIGHT THEN." I SAID STARTING TO EAT SOME OF THE EGGS. THEY WEREN'T REALLY THAT BAD SUPRISINGLY.

"HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?" SHE ASKED.

"ITS PRETTY GOOD" I SAID, MOUTH HALF FULL WITH EGGS AND TOAST.

SHE GIGGLED. "I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT." SHE SAID, EATING SOME BACON.

JUST THEN, HER LAPTOP WENT OFF. I ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE SHE RECEIVED A MESSAGE. SHE GOT UP AND GRABBED HER LAPTOP, OPENING IT.

Alice's POV

I grabbed my laptop and opened it.

"Who is it?" Karkat asked.

"It's Sollux." I replied.

"What does he want?" he asked.

"Hang on and I'll see." I said, messaging Sollux.

-twinArmageddons [TA] has ceased trolling melodicAria [MA] -

"So what did he want?" Karkat asked.

"You- have to go back to Alternia..." I said sadly not looking at him.

"What? Why?" he asked.

"Something went wrong with the program I guess... and Sollux needs you back on Alternia so he can fix it..." I explained.

"Oh..." he said. I could tell he was really sad that he had to go back so soon...

"Hey, when Sollux fixes the program I'm sure you'll be able to come back and see me." I said, putting on a smile.

"Yeah..." he said, standing up. "Go upstairs, I have to run the program."

"Alright..." I said. Before I went upstairs he leaned down and kissed me, the best kiss I ever had. Then I went up to my room and started getting ready for school...

Karkat's POV

I STARTED UP THE PROGRAM AFTER SHE WENT UPSTAIRS. I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE. I LET OUT A SAD SIGH AND THEN TRANSPORTED MYSELF BACK TO ALTERNIA.
