Terezi sat on her dingy couch playing with an apple she didn't plan to eat. It's soft bruises didn't make for a very appetizing dinner.

'Ding Ding'

Terezi turned to her door and set the apple down as she got up to answer the door. When she opened the door she found an old friend of hers.

"Terezi!" she exclaimed.

"Vriska?" Terezi questioned. Vriska had already made herself comfortable in Terezi's apartment before she had anything else to add.

"Nice place you have here, how much is it?" Vriska asked while she helped herself to the bruised apple that sat on her end table.

"What are you doing here? I mean I thought you were, well dead." Terezi put it blankly.

Vriska tapped on her right eye, "Can't kill me that easily. Great job sending me a defective Cue Ball." Terezi sat herself down next to Vriska before answering.

"But it worked didn't it?" Terezi flashed a toothy smile.

"Tch," she scoffed, "That endless revenge sure worked out great didn't it. I lost and eye and arm and you lost both eyes. Aradia's out of the hospital now isn't she?"

Terezi nodded. "She's fine, I guess. Haven't seen her in forever though. Kinda miss her."

"Well guess what," Vriska wagged her finger, "We're all going to the same school now."

"You're kidding?"

Vriska shook her head. "I got to talk to her online and she seemed really happy about it."

"Wait you got to talk to her? And she was happy?"

"Duuuuuuuuh," Vriska said between apple bites, "I just said so."

Terezi scratched her chin. "Seems strange. Almost mysterious."

"Enough about Aradia," Vriska interjected, "Let's talk about something else."

"Like what?"

"I don't know, like my hair?" Terezi turned to face Vriska and pointed to her eyes.

"Almost blind. Remember?"

"Oh damn. Forgot. Well I got these awesome new blue highlights around my bangs," Vriska paused. "Wait you said almost blind."

Terezi sighed. "Well after all the useless revenge I could see a little bit but it wasn't very much. Pretty useless if you ask me." She kicked up her feet and laided them on the coffee table in front of them.

"Damn. Sorry to hear it." It was Vriska's turn to sigh. "Not!" She lightly punched Terezi in the arm.

"Hey," Terezi giggled while rubbing her arm as if it hurt. It felt great to finally have someone to talk to, someone to joke around with and have dumb fun. Between filling out forms for school and trying to make enough money to pay for her next meal, Terezi didn't have much time for friends. She had been hoping that once all the frivolous stuff had been taken care of, she'd have more time to enjoy herself.

"Well," Vriska picked herself up, "I guess I should get going."

"Do you live here now or something?" Terezi asked.

"Yeah. Just across the street," Vriska shrugged, throwing the apple core into an overflowing trash can Terezi neglected to take care of.

"Guess I'll see you at school then Spider Bitch," Terezi chose as her goodbye.

Vriska didn't respond back but she did hold up her favorite middle finger as she walked out.

God. It's been such a long time since Terezi had seen Vriska. She definitely did look different since the last she'd seen her. Vriska's pure blonde hair had darkened a bit and the new blue streaks were added to her bangs and the fringe surrounding it. Her facial features had a new feminine touch to them now.

Terezi began to touch her face when she started to think about now much Vriska had changed. Have I changed? She thought. How the hell would I know. I'm blind. With her thoughts running around she decided it was late enough to go to sleep.

Terezi collapsed on her twin sized bed. Some of her Scalemates falling off. She checked the time once more and it hasn't changed. 8:43

Bringing Lemonsnout to her chest she muttered a goodnight and fell asleep.

Great. More weird dreams. She thought. Again the same person, that invaded her dreams, sat in front of her in an egg shaped throne.

"So you're finally here," the person in the chair purred. Terezi wanted to grunt, but the person in font of her was just so much like her. In a way. "Now I can continue teaching you how to properly use that nose of yours."

"You mean when you try to tell me I can see with it?" The person clapped.

"Yes!" She continued, "Don't pretend you think it's stupid."

Terezi bit her bottom lip at the thought. It'd be pretty awesome to smell colors and taste them.

"I'm blind also, ya know. But I use colors to see." She exclaimed. "For instance you're wearing," a long sniff, "a pair of old boxers and a shirt that smells just like mint!"

Terezi was surprised that she could tell what she was wearing. Blindly.

For the rest of the time Terezi spent there she concentrated and tried to do everything she could do to learn what was being offered. Soon enough Terezi had a solid bond with the woman.
