Just a quick reminder: This is a Homestuck DaveJade story. We do realize that the kids started out as 13 years old. However, we have this set a bit in the future. The kids would be around 18 present day, so this is about 2 years in the future. Yes, we realize that most of these characters are dead but in the world of fanfiction anyone can be there. Asher is a character of our own. All Homestuck related items such as pesterlogs/pesterchum and characters belong to Andrew Hussie.

This was a collab with hushimthinking.

Jade

Dave. Dave. Dave. Dave. His name is a steady drumbeat in my head. Almost all I can think about. One thought over and over. Dave. I know I shouldn't think about him. I'd already forbidden myself to communicate with him in any way. He must think I hate him. I'm such a bad person. I had to do what's right. The future is a dark place. It holds secrets beyond human understanding. Nothing is straight. Most people assume time is a strict progression of cause to effect but from a non-linear non-subjective point of view its more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey…. stuff…. I know. Crazy right? Now the only thing I'm positive about in this whole wibbly wobbly mess is that Dave and I can't be together. If we do get together, it could mean the end of the world, as we know it. I want to talk to Dave but if I do I'm afraid I'll- someone is pestering me. Please let it not be Dave. Not Dave. Please. Oh! It's Rose. I guess it'll be good to talk to her. She's really smart and maybe can help me figure some things out. I decide to answer.

TT: Hey

GG: hi…... :(

TT: What's wrong?

GG: well…...

TT: Is this about Dave?

GG: how did you guess?

TT: Well, not many other people it could be, unless you're cheating on him!

TT: Are you?

TT: Cheating on him, I mean

GG: what!? no way!

TT: Sorry, I just had the possible assumption and wanted to be clear on the subject

GG: oh… well, can i talk to you about Dave and i then?

TT: Sure. I'm always here if you need the help or accompaniment.

GG: okay thanks. well, i still really really like dave but you as you know, my grandpa hates bro and thinks the striders are a bad influence

GG: but they arent! so he has me dating someone else and i think he really likes me but i dont like him so i guess i am kind of cheating on dave but not really. please dont tell him. i like dave. i think bro is okay with us now but my grandpa isnt and i just really miss dave

GG: i have forced myself to not talk to him. i bet he thinks im a really bad person now

TT: Yes I do know the fact that your grandfather and Dave's brother are not very fond of each other, especially your grandfather of Bro. I also know that Bro is indeed, okay with you and Dave.

TT: I have talked to Dave recently and he is very upset that you don't talk to him anymore and wishes you guys would talk. He does not hate you though. Dave tries to be cool so he didn't tell me directly, but the thought was there for sure.

TT: As for this other guy, who the heck is he?

GG: like i said, hes some guy that my grandpa thinks that i like but i dont. he…

TT: Who?

GG: my grandpa…

TT: What about him?

GG: i think hes thinking about getting us married…..

TT: What?! But you hate that guy!

GG: i know. i think i might have a plan though.

GG: oops. gotta go. sorry rose! ill talk to you later
