Alice's PoV
After about three minutes, I went back downstairs. Karkat was gone. I felt my heart sink into my stomach... We didn't even spend an entire day together, but somehow I knew I'd be seeing him again soon. I mean, of course I'll see him again soon... Sollux just has to fix a few bugs in the transfer system and everything will be okay.
I walked over to my laptop and checked it over, making sure everything was as it's supposed to be. And of course it was, nothing out of the ordinary. Why would there be? I guess I'm worried- I feel like there is something really wrong, but I just can't wrap my head around it. I really hope Karkat's okay...
Karkat's PoV
I guess I blacked out on my way back through to Alternia. When I woke up, I wasn't in my room like I thought. Instead, I found myself in a plain white room with no windows and no door...
"Alice!? Sollux!?" I called out, but all I heard in return was my echo. I was alone, and I didn't know what to do or how to contact Alice and Sollux...

It wasn't until an hour and a half later that I received a message from Sollux.

(not doubling the "i" too confusing, i will do the "2"s)
2o after I 2topped talking to Alice I got right into 2earching for Karkat, who i2 mo2t likely floating around in cyber2pace. Thi2 i2 a very difficult proce22 and will probably take a long time... But for the 2ake of Alice, I'm trying to hurry while 2till doing my be2t to 2earch every nook and cranny of the Internet.
I'm 2o di2apointed in my2elf! I 2ent Karkat to Earth and told him to come back becau2e there wa2 2omething wrong with the program... Even though I probably could have fixed it without even telling him... God I'm 2uch an idiot!
And with thi2, I slam my head on to my computer'2 keyboard. Why? Normally, I'd get up and 2lam my head into a wall becau2e i love my computer and don't want to break it.
I picked my head back up and looked at the 2creen. There he was- I found him.
