Vriska made explosion noises and hand gestures as if she were casting spells. She narrated her actions as she lept across the room and battled scalemates she borrowed from Terezi. "Spinneret launches a fireball at her deceitful minions, unwilling to join forces with Redglare! POW!" She charged at Lemonsnout feriously, and then came to a hault. She paused a moment to think about what she should do before nudging him with her foot gently, tipping him over. Pyralsprite watched in terror as his cohort died brutally. "Now, Pyralsprite... Maybe you'll be willing to go along with your leaders decisions, and once again become part of Team Scourge?" Spinneret inquired.

"..."

"Then it's settled." She smirked, grabbing Redglare by the hand and lifting it in triumph. "THE SCOURGE SISTERS WIN AGAIN!" Vriska exclaimed.

"Jegus..."

Vriska turned to Terezi. "What?"

"That was..." Terezi grinned, "... so awesome."

"I know, right? Isn't this fun?" Vriska paused. "Hey, do you think... I could try something a little different?" She gripped Terezi's hand a little tighter.

Terezi frowned. "Different how? You're not going to double-cross me AGAIN or anything, are you?"

Vriska rolled her eyes. "NOOOOOOOO, because that wouldn't be different! I mean different as in different!"

Terezi stared vacantly at her. "... That really doesn't clarify much."

"Just trust me on this..." She paused before adding, "... Again." Vriska wrapped an arm around her waist and dipped Terezi down dramatically. She kissed the blind troll girl passionately.

Terezi was dumbfounded for a second before furiously drubbing Vriska with her cane. After several drubbings, Vriska finally pulled away. "What the hell! What are you doing!" Terezi shouted.

"Oh Redglare, you should smell your face right now! It's radiating! Can't you smell the ocean? … Or whatever it is you associate your blood with?"

"Shut up! I demand order!" Terezi argued. She really couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Spinneret ignores her Scourge Sister's flustered behavior since she obviously doesn't mean it! Instead, she says..." Vriska leaned much closer to Terezi to whisper this in her ear, "I'm not sure... at what point it is advisable... to admitting to liking you a great deal more than I had planned..."

"THEN DON'T SAY IT. Now let me go." Terezi demanded, trying to shake herself loose from her grip.

"You know, you're really not doing a great job of staying in character..." Vriska murmured, kissing her again.

Terezi found herself struggling a lot less. There was something about Vriska... she may have been a total bitch with very few good qualities that she only used for personal gain, but it seemed like... maybe, just maybe, she had a little bit of good in her. She was determined, and almost... caring. Weird.

Vriska pulled away slowly, and helped Terezi back upright. "I just... wanted to try that. We were just roleplaying, okay?" Vriska insisted. "Don't get Karkat on my case because I don't want to listen to that bastard ranting at me."

Terezi nodded slowly. "Right, Spinneret. And I was only humoring you because you were being so annoying. We're done roleplaying for good."

"You got it." Vriska affirmed. She looked down and realized they were still holding hands. "Oh. I'll just, uh, let go."

"Yeah." Terezi added.

They stood there for a moment before finally releasing each others grasp. After that, the two trolls left the room, having made a silent vow to forget about... whatever that was. Nothing, probably.

A week had passed before Vriska had accidentally called Terezi her Scourge Sister again. Terezi told her not to call her that, but when she was sure there were no eyes on the two, Terezi hastily kissed her partner on the cheek. "You meant what you said as Spinneret. It didn't smell like a lie. It almost made me wonder if I could trust you more... Hehehe."

Vriska shook her head, cerulean-faced. "

What? No! I didn't! You can't!"

"You're lying. Hehe. And you taste like blueberries." Terezi snickered, sitting down on the floor. "Just say it. Then I'll forget all about it..."

Vriska blinked at her and sat down beside her. "How can I know for sure? What if you're in cahoots?"

Terezi set her hand on top of Vriska's. "You'll just have to trust me." There was a long, deafening silence.

"... Psh! Why would I trust you? We're rivals, remember?" Vriska grinned. "I'm not going to let you meddle with me! You can't beat Vriska Serket is a meddle-off. She's simply the best there is!"

"What?" Terezi asked, confused. "You dirty..."

"I can't believe you'd expect anything else from me!" Vriska laughed, and started to stand up. She stopped, and kissed Terezi's cheek back. "I love you." She whispered, then stood up. "There, I said it."

Terezi waited until Vriska had left. She laid down on the floor. "Hm... I think I could love you too..."
