Feh! This got a better response to what I expected. Like I said, if it get a decent response (this including reviews, follos and faves) that I would consider continuing.

I just hope that this won't distract me from my main story that has broken my chapter record (I usually die at about 4 but sonehow got up to 7 XD)

Chapter Two

Troll grubs are weird. The little guy has been sleeping for a little over 3 hours on the couch Dirk had sat him on and it doesn't look like he was waking up anytime soon. It would be easy to assume the critter is dead if it wasn't for its fat little grub body rising and falling slowly and the faint snores.

This gave Dirk the chance to clean Dave and the mess he made on the table. It's all cool; the little dude didn't know what he's doing. After cleaning the mess, he placed the infant next to the napping grub, a couple of smuppets and Lil' Cal, and took a seat at the computer for a little research. Obviously, he was going to have to look after the red grub so he'd need to know what he was going to deal with.

According to all the webpages, grubs tend to grow roughly at the same rate as a human baby besides that they understand their surroundings and respond much earlier and they begin to lose their grub-like body at about 13 - 15 months, which is also the age they will start talking. They're known for being nocturnal and are very sensitive to the sun and it's highly recommended that they sleep in a pod full of sopor slime (Whatever the heck that is).

Dave was making a lot of babbling noises as Dirk continued his research. There were a couple light thuds that must have been him knocking smuppets off the couch; Dirk will never understand why his little bro hates those glorious puppet rumps so much. The elder Strider ignored the noises the baby was making till a loud, high pitched squeal caused Dirk to turn his chair and see that Dave had disrupted the grub.

The grub was found struggling under a bright green smuppet. Once free, the little wiggler glared at Dave and hissed, only for the 7 month old to pap him in the face causing the grub to cry, Dave continued slapping the baby troll's face which only made the crying louder.

With a sigh, Dirk readjusted his glasses before pulling himself up walk to the couch. First he picked up Dave who mumbled out 'Bro', usually the older Strider would be praising his little brother for using the only word he knew but at the moment, he was very tempted to revoke his shades privileges. He moved towards the play pen set up in the lounge room corner which consisted of blocks, a teddy bear and a plush cat, three coloured balls and a little car that rolls when you push the giraffes head down. Once in the pen, Dave instantly crawled to the cat, giving it a tight hug as he fell flat on his back.

With his little bro occupied, Dirk brought his attention back to the still crying grub who has left a reddish-pink puddle underneath it…that better be tears or grub slime.

Dirk picked up the wiggler and held it in the palm of his hand, contemplating how something so small could turn into a giant behemoth of an adult troll.

Pushing that aside, how was Dirk going to deal with this when he didn't have the foggiest clue on how to calm a crying grub. With a shrug, he tried stroking its chin with hope that it would work again. It actually made the grub cry louder.

"Shhhhhhh! C'mon man, you gotta tone it down." As a last ditch effort, Dirk began scratching the top of its head, just between the horns. Surprisingly, the little red grub was calming down until it was purring, only to break every once in a while from hiccupping. "Huh, well that wasn't hard."

The grub stopped purring as it glanced up at the blond and let out a small chirp as it began scuttling along Dirk's arm, leaving a faint red track behind it. Dirk couldn't help the smirk play on his lips as the grub wormed its way up his arm and trying to reach the humans shoulder.

"Hmm, you know what? We need to give you a name," the grub had finally reached the top and let out clicking sounds. "I'm tempted to call you Nibbles."

That earned a growl from the grub, which kind of surprised Dirk that the little guy actually understood what he's on about.

"Not a fan? Alright, umm…Rubin?"

Nope, the grub just hissed. It continued on like this till Dirk was fed up with how fussy the wiggler was being.

"Alright, fine. It's not like you can come up with anything."

The grub huffed (man, grubs are intelligent, even if they can't speak) and raised one of its tiny black legs towards the pen. Dirk got the general idea and walked over to the pen, where Dave was now playing with the blocks. The grub started climbing down the older Striders arm and was placed in the pen, it then scuttled over to the toy car where it then head-butted it and squeaked to grab the humans attention.

"Car? Your name is Car?"

The grub growled and then moved towards the plush cat that Dave had abandoned and squeaked again, this time, Dave glanced at the grub who only now knew was in the pen.

"Cat. Car-Cat?" Dirk raised an eyebrow, he should have expected it to be weird but this really took the cake (okay, it's not intelligent; this little alien thing is as a fucking genius. Weird, but still a genius).

'Carcat' began chirping and clicking happily as his new guardian finally figured out its name. The grub snuggled up against the plush and curled up ready for sleep until Dave crawled over and belly-flopped on top of the cat and wriggler, causing 'Carcat' to let out another screech.

"God damn it Dave." Dirk groaned as he lifted the infant off the crying Carcat, somehow Dirk knew life was going to get hectic from now on.

Sorry if this isn't that great, I'm completely winging this because I didn't expect myself to continue 0_o

...Actually I pretty much wing everything I do XD

also add sleep deprivation (again...I need to stop staying up so late) and that I was watching a youtube video of My Immortal read out by Karkat and Sollux had kinda made my brain rot (seriously that story is fucking terrible! though the guys voicing Karkat, Sollux, Eridan and Kanaya made it funny enough for me to keep watching XD) I need to stop torturing myself like that :V
