Okay so this takes place before "First Day".
Rose & Kanaya: 9th
Everyone else: 8th
"Hey, Rose, can you help me with number fourteen?" John asked, without looking up from his math homework.
Rose didn't answer.
Jane looked up from her work.
"I can't believe it."
Roxy looked over at her sister and giggled.
"John, Rose fell asleep," Jane told him.
John looked over at Rose. Her head was down on the table and she was indeed asleep.
The four were at the public library, working on homework.
John giggled and poked Rose with his pencil. She didn't react.
"Man, she is out like a light," John commented.
"Not surprising," Roxy said. "She's been up until three writing those fanfictions."
"And how do you know that?" Jane asked her best friend.
"I read them during class," Roxy said as if Jane should already know this.
Jane shook her head. "And here I thought you were reading your text book."
"Oh please, Janey, you know me better than that."
~Discord. I'm howling at the moon, and sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon. Discord. Whatev-
John grabbed Rose's ringing phone.
"She got a text. What's it saw – say?" Roxy asked
"Hello Rose. It is Kanaya. ," John read. "Kanaya, I know that name," he thought aloud.
"That Karkat's older sister, right?" Jane asked.
"Oh yeah!"
Roxy giggled. "Ohhhh~ I know her. She's Rose's cursh – crush."
John smiled. "Really?" he started typing on the phone.
"John, what are you doing?" Jane asked.
"Answering the text," John said.
"Ooooh watcha' say?" Roxy asked quickly, trying to pull the phone away from John.
John just showed them the screen.
she's not here right now, she's asleep!
"You missed out on a great prank opportunity," Jane said.
John just shrugged. "Well, it was the truth."
~Discord. I'm howling at the moon, and sleeping in the mid-
"She texted back?"
"Yeah. Look."
How Would You Answer The Phone If You Were Asleep?
"Okay, give me the phone. You clearly can't handle the responsibility," Jane said and went to snatch the phone.
"Nooo! I'll do it right this time."
oh yeah. you caught me. i am anything but sleeping right now. it is truly rose you are talking to
"John, that was horrible. You don't even sound like Rose," Jane told him.
"Well it's not like Rose has talked to her before," Roxy interjected. "She has no way of knowing."
~Discord. I'm howli-
Anyway, I Was Wondering If You Wanted To Work On The History Project Together. As A Team.
-.-.-.-.-
Kanaya banged her head on her desk. Karkat looked up at her, surprised.
"You okay?" he asked.
"I am perfectly fine," she mumbled, not bringing her head up. Idiot! She thought angrily at herself.
-.-.-.-.-
"What should I say?" John asked, slightly panicked.
"Say you can't talk now, but don't turn her down, Rose might want to work with her," Jane advised.
"And tell hert – her – to text you at 2 am," Roxy added.
"So she can answer while in a fanfiction writing haze?" Jane asked, frowning at Roxy.
"Hey, I've answered guys in durken –drunken – hazes and really bad hangovers and they keep calling so I don't see the problem," Roxy held up her hands in defense.
"I'm answering," John said.
sorry cant talk now. try again 2am or something
-.-.-.-.-
Kanaya frowned as she read the text. Her head returned to its painful position on her desk.
"Seriously, Kanaya, what the fuck is wrong?" Karkat asked.
"I lack the skills required for courtship," Kanaya answered him.
"Yeah well that's because Porrim and Sam stole them. Fucking bastards. Who were you trying to 'court' anyway?"
"Rose."
"LaLonde?
"Yes."
"You're flushed for her?"
"I find her interesting. She makes good comments in class. However, she appears to drop most formalities when communicating by phone."
"Well I'd love to talk more about this shit, I really would, but Gamzee and Sollux are waiting outside for me," Karkat said as he got up.
"No, it is fine. Enjoy your movie," Kanaya answered.
"Alright, see you the fuck later."
GamTav will most likely happen, JohnKat, may or may not happen. We'll see.
