HEYYYYYYY

What did I say about NO MORE REQUESTS (right now)?

STOP SENDING THEM

I'm flattered but

STOP

Anyway, I am a terrible updater (and person) because this was one sentence off done and I didn't finish it for... a week.

Yay me.

It's pale Arafef for yowlingwolfstorm. I'm so sorry that it's weird and girly and terrible. I HAVE WRITER'S BLOCK, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE WRITER'S BLOCK

Aradia hopped through the dream bubbles, looking for her moirail. She had an idea where she might be, but it would take a while to get to that bubble, and she had no idea if she could even access it. She was still getting used to how these things worked.

Oh. She was here.

She really hated this memory, just because she had to watch her moirail die whenever she was in it. Death was interesting, but it made her moirail really upset, and she didn't like anything that made people upset.

"Hey, Aradia."

"Hey Feferi! How are you?"

"I'm okay. I've been better."

"I'm sure! What are you doing in such a depressing dream bubble?"

"I can't help it," Feferi said, her voice almost a whisper. "I just can't. I feel like maybe if I look at it long enough, I'll make my peace with it."

"Watching Eridan kill you over and over is never going to make you feel better."

"I know."

"No you don't! Otherwise you wouldn't be doing it!"

"Okay, I don't know. How's Sollux?"

"He's fabulous! He misses you like crazy. He wore your glasses for a while after you died, did you know that?"

Feferi smiled weakly. "That's nice. I miss him too. I want to see the real him, not just these fake hims wandering around pretending to be him."

"Well, in any case, you need to stop watching these awful moments over and over again. Maybe you could watch some of your favourite moments with Sollux?"

"No," Feferi sighed. "They just make me sad."

"Well I'm sure there's SOME memory that would cheer you up, right?"

Feferi was silent.

"You and your lusus?"

"No..."

"Maybe... maybe we can try and find the dream bubble where Eridan dies?"

"No, I don't... it's weird, but I don't want to see him die. I haven't forgiven him, but I don't want anything bad to happen to him, do you know what I mean? We were moirails once, even if he went a little crazy."

Aradia paused, scrunching up her face in thought.

"Oh, I know! Why don't we both watch the dream bubble where you and I become moirails? That way you can't feel lonely or sad about watching it because I'll be with you!"

Feferi perked up a little. "Maybe that is a good idea... we shell sea!"

Aradia held Feferi's hand and together they hopped from dream bubble to dream bubble.

"Hey look, this is the memory where we had a huge cake fight in the middle of another dream bubble!"

"This is the dream bubble where we had a tea party with Tavros!"

"Is that the beach? It looks so pretty!"

"Aw, it's you as a grub!"

Finally, they passed into the right dream bubble, and Aradia sat down on the ground.

"Come sit by me!" she whispered, and Feferi happily complied.

(From now on, everything in italics is what's happening in the dream bubble. And, for the purpose of this, Aradia is not and never was dead.)

"Feferi... Feferi, are you okay?"

"No..."

"What's wrong?"

"You know how Eridan and I stopped being moirails just a little while ago?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, I think... Maybe I was wrong to end our moiraillegiance..."

"Are you insane? I mean, it's okay to feel like that, but Eridan's totally nuts!"

"But now I have nobody to talk to. I have nobody to comfort me. And nobody to comfort! Nobody else really talks to me the way he used to. Nobody's really... a friend, like he was. He was a terrible, stupid friend, but at least he cared. Just a bit."

"Well I care!"

Feferi looked up at Aradia's smiling face. "What? But... but we never talk..."

"That doesn't matter. We can start now! I've been a bit lonely too, honestly, and I'm having some guy trouble just like you. More quadrant confusion. You know how Equius is."

"Oh cod. Yes, I do."

"So what do you say? Do you want to meet up sometime? Talk about stuff? Go exploring? Maybe kidnap some of Karkat's romcoms?"

"I cannot believe you suggested watching Karkat's romcoms," Feferi whispered to Aradia, and they both laughed.

"I don't know. I mean, I'd love to do that, and we should totally explore the ocean sometime—if you can, that is—but I need a moirail!"

"Well, we'll see how things go, and then maybe I can be your moirail, in time! Would that be good for you?"

"You know what... maybe this could work out!"

"Yeah! Hey, I know you want to explore the sea, but I know some really cool-looking caves I haven't checked out yet, and do you want to—"

Aradia smiled at Feferi. "Hey, you know what? We never got to explore the ocean. How about we find a dream bubble with an ocean or a sea or something and then we can do it together!"

"That's a great idea. Thanks, Aradia. I'm really happy I have you to cheer me up all the time!"

"It's alright. I'm just happy you're here."

Welcome to the worst ending you've ever seen.

ANYWAY, I'm thinking about starting a new story (although I'm going to try and continue with this one!) Annyyyy suggestions? (I might try and make it another reader-driven one like a Choose Your Own Adventure thing, what do you think?)

One more thing. About seventy different people look at each chapter.

CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE REVIEW SO I KNOW YOU'RE THERE?!
