"What are your feelings for the highblood?" Equius asked randomly.
Nepeta blushed. "Well.. You know.. Feelings.."
"I can tell you're feeling red for him. It's written all over you're green face." he said with a smirk.
"Meoww..." she replied quietly, trying to cover her face.
"It's quite alright to have these feelings, Nepeta. Advice I would give is to be wary."
"Well what about your feelings about Aradia?" she said.
It was his turn to blush. "What are you talking about?"
"Don't act like you don't know. It's written all over your blue face." she purred.
"So?" he said, giving a huff.
"Sooo, tell her. Meoww."
He stared at her. "Why?"
"It's not good to keep in your feelings. And because she might like you back." she smiled.
Equius sighed. "If I say I will, will you drop it?"
"Mayyyybe."
"Fine, I will.. Someday.."
"Today." she purred.
"B.. But.." he choked.
"Todayy. You have to."
He sat there for a little, thinking it over. "Fine. Somehow today, I'll let her know."
"Good." she said, passing out.
...
"So, where exactly are we meeting these motherfuckers?" Gamzee said.
"Near the lake. They happened to work at the place everyone met at earlier." Aradia said.
"Correct. They're off duty now, so we can snatch them." Rose said.
They walked to the area they spoke of. "They should be out here waiting." Rose said.
That's when a guy that looked alot like John ran out, a broom flying passed his head. And another guy that looked like Dave ran after him. "Excuse me but.. Are we lookin at Dave and John?"
"Nope. They may look similar, but they are not. Well, they kinda are. But They have different, yet scarily similar names." Rose replied.
"Ohmigawdomigawdomigawd whaddoido whaddoido.." a nervous voice was saying near the two.
"Jane!" Rose called out.
She ran over. "What're those two doing?"
"They are.. having a little sparing match."
"Little?" Jade said.
"Yes. This is quite normal, actually." Jane replied.
"Dirk, Jake get over here!" Rose just about yelled at them.
Immediately they showed up in front of her. "What is it?" Dirk said.
"What I came here for?"
"Oh, that." Jake said.
"Go get Roxy, douchenozzle." Dirk told Jake.
"You get him robot humper."
"Least I can get a robot."
"Say's your mom."
"COME AT ME BRO!"
"I WILL!"
They went at it again. The person who they presumed was Roxy stepped out. "This is always entertaining."
"It's cuz you get to watch Dirk." Jane retorted.
"I always can, and do. I mean what?"
"ANYWAYS." Rose said.
"Sorry." John and Dirk said at the same time.
"So on that note, what exactly is being needed of us?" Roxy said.
"Just some help. Follow me." Rose said, walking back the way we came. Dirk shrugged and followed. The rest right after.
...
The group that went after Dave sat in the livingroom. "So." Karkat said.
"How long did it go on for, KK?" Sollux said, sarcastically.
"Shut the fuck up. Noone asked you." He replied, blushing a deep red.
"Let's just say he has much stamina." Terezi said, grinning widely and evily.
"Hehehehe glub glub.." Feferi giggled.
Sollux smiled. "I bet, I bet. But the quethtion ith, ith he good?"
Karkat suppressed a yell. "Trust me, he is very good." Terezi said with a wink.
"ALL OF YOU SHUT YOUR FOOD SPHINCTERS!" he said loudly.
"Ahem." Kanaya said.
Everyone looked at her. "Any sign of Vriska, or Jade's group?"
"Jade's group is on their way. As for Vriska, we're not all too sure." Equius replied.
Kanaya nodded. "And Nepeta's state?"
"Stable. Sleeping at the moment." he replied again.
"How are you feeling Dave?"
"I'm good, not much to say. Just. It was weird. Being chased by smuppets. Sometimes I swear they're still following me." he said.
Eridan gave a snicker. "Paranoid, eh Davve?"
"Noone loves you, you adopted fish man." Dave replied.
Eridan sat in the corner. "I know.."
Rose walked in. "We're back. And brought the four I mentioned."
"Bring them in." Kanaya replied, hearing Eridan sniffing in the corner.
Gamzee, Jade and Aradia walked in, followed by Jane, Jake, Dirk, and Roxy. "What's up with him?" Dirk asked as he saw Eridan.
"He's having an.. emotional.. moment." Feferi said, patting Eridan on the back.
"Told him noone loved him and he's an adopted fish." Dave said.
"Nice one bro." Dirk replied giving him a fist bump.
"So what is it that you called us in for?" Jake said.
"You know. Investigating. Probably spying. Fighting. Ect, ect, ect." John replied.
"Sounds like fun. Who, exactly, are we supposed to be doing these various activities with?" Jake asked.
"Some group that I don't even remember the name of. Weird ass emblem. Eye. Ya know." Gamzee said.
"Oh those retards." Dirk said, sitting on a part of a couch.
"You know them?" Kanaya said.
"Yeah. Had a job with them. But it was too boing, never got out. Not even sure if they did anything other than paperwork," he started, "Buttttt, lately we've seen them here and there. Cults and shit. Knocked a couple heads here and there. Roxy was usually drunk off her ass when they tried. So, they aren't alive. Jake has grown some nuts and beat their heads in. Jane? Extremely lucky, survived several explosive assassination attempts."
Roxy nodded, taking a small drink from the flask she carried and smiled. "So do we have any plans yet?" Jane said.
"Nope, that's why we brought you here." Terezi said.
"Hoped you'd have some clues or ideas and such." Equius commented.
"Give us a little time, information, and talks and we should come up with something soon." Jake said.
Kanaya nodded. "Come to the back, I'll fill you in. As for the rest of you, go home. In groups, of course, and be safe. I'll send out a message when we have figured out our plan of action."
Everyone in the room nodded, and got up and left, except Equius, Gamzee, Dave, Aradia and John. Kanaya and the four newcomers went to the back of the house to discuss. "How's Nepeta all up and doin'?" Gamzee asked.
"Lets check." Equius said, giving a smile.
He, Gamzee and Aradia walked into Nepeta's room, as Dave and John stayed where they were. She was awake. "Hello." she said, sitting up.
"Should you be doing that?" Aradia asked.
"Yeah, I can do at least this." she smiled.
"How are you feeling?" Equius asked.
"Just fine. Oh yeah, did you do what we agreed on?" she smiled at him.
Equius' face turned a bright blue. "No.."
"Then do itttt. Pweasseeeee." she said, giving him a pout and big eyes.
Gamzee gave a small laugh and Aradia giggled. "Fineee." Equius said with a huff.
"It involves you, Aradia." Nepeta said.
"And you had to say that?" Equius said.
"Yes. You probably wouldn't do it either way, so I gave a little boost. Hehehe." she giggled.
"What is it she's speaking of, Equius?" Aradia asked, giving small giggles here n there.
"Come here.." he said, grabbing her hand and leading her out of the room.
Gamzee gave a small laugh and some honks. and Nepeta laughed a little as well. He sat on the bed next to her and she put her head in his chest, resting against him. "Feeling alright?" Gamzee asked.
"Yeah, tired, but I'm doing much better." Nepeta smiled.
Gamzee kissed her on the cheek and smiled. "Good."
She purred, and and starrted drifting off to sleep.
"What do you want to tell me?" Aradia asked Equius.
"Well, to be honest, I told Nepeta that I'd tell you that I've had feelings for you for a while." he said, just getting the words out.
Aradia smiled and blushed. "Well, to be honest, I've only thought of you as a friend, but.. maybe if we got to hang out more my feelings could develop?"
Equius nodded. "It's a possibility, if you're willing to take it."
"I'll try."
"I know." He hugged her.
She hugged him back.
...
Vriska was sitting in her room with the door closed, and her music blasting. A knock on the door came. She got up, turned the music down, and walked out of her room to answer the door. She opened it and noone was there. "Fuckers." she said, closing the door.
She was on her way back to her room, when more knocks came. "Son of a bitch.." she mumbled, walking back to the door and opening it. "Who the hell is it?!" again, noone was at the door.
"I'm gonna murder you all in your sleep." she replied, and was close to slamming the door.
She walked back to her room and slammed the door. The knocks came again. She ignored them. "Fuckers better get out of here before I fuck them up into next sweep." she mumbled to herself.
The knocks continued for about 5 minutes, but she had her music up again and tried ignoring it. But, the next series of knocks came at her room door. "I'm gonna kill you!" she said and slammed open the door (don't ask).
She saw nothing and noone. The knocks came at the door again. This time, she threw the nearest table through it. She hit someone, and she checked to see who. She didn't recognize him. Or.. "Wait.."
The smell of tar came into her nostrils, and the figure seemed to absorb the chair in a puddle of black. "Fuck everything you've ever lived for." she said to it, and kicked the head off.
It turned into the black liquid, and crawled back to the body. "Fuck me."
"We'll save that for later." A voice came from behind.
She swung around and tried hitting whoever was behind her, but a blow to her head came and she layed on the ground, barely conscious.
