With Nepeta now gone, I tried to keep my gaze away from the giant hoping he'd get bored and move on and I would have the chance to forget what just happened, but of course I'm never that lucky and he looked over at me with a grin, his clouded purple eyes staring at me expectantly.

"Well, tell a bro how he does?" Once more hear flared up in my cheeks and ears and I raised my gaze to the other shocked, he was seriously going to ask me that?! There was no reply I could give that would make me seem straight! Was this his plan? To trick me? Confuse me? "Or, hell, just thought of this... You could let me try again...?"

Jumping up quickly at his suggestion, I tried my best to ignore the almost pained expression on his face as I rushed back to the pond, desperate to escape this whole awkward situation. I didn't like to make people feel bad, but I was so confused by everything, I didn't want to be near him! Glancing over my shoulder, he sat there watching me leave before suddenly laying down in the grass and staring up at the sky. He just kissed me! So why do I feel guilty…

As the sun started to set a few hours later, everyone gathered around the crackling campfire, chatting happily while roasting either hot dogs or marshmallows, but I sat rather silently, trying to just wrap my mind around everything that had happened so far. Could I get any more unlucky, and why did my heart skip every time I thought of what Gamzee did? Were we really staying here for three days… I didn't know if I could handle being around him that long… Or, maybe I just needed to talk to him when he wasn't high…

"So John," Looking up from my s'more when hearing my name tore me from my thoughts, my gaze found the red haired girl sitting across the fire, her fuchsia eyes on me as smile spread on her lips. "do you like hanging out with us?" Giving a nervous laugh, I rubbed the back of my neck and nodded, glancing around at everyone, most of who, I still didn't know.

"Yeah! It's just really different for me, and there are so many of you that I still don't know all of your names..." They all looked around at each other, then the girl who had addressed me stood up, still smiling, her bright blue and green skirt flailing out around her as she swayed happily from side to side.

"Well then! I'm Feferi! I'm glad you got to come, and I'm happy we all go to meet you!" Smiling at the introduction as she sat down, her eyes narrowed at the guy next to her before she elbowed him in the stomach, he stood with a groan, then brushed away his blonde hair, leaving his purple bangs in his violet eyes.

"I'm Eridan, and I guess you're not so bad." Before he even had the chance to sit down completely, Nepeta jumped up from beside him, her hair covered now by a blue cat hat, and an oversized green coat whipped around her a large smile on her lips as she clasped her hands together, jumping up on the stool on which she was just sitting.

"You know my name, but I'm Nepeta, and you're forever on my shipping wall!" She giggled as the others groaned then she sat back down, looking over to the guy to her right, who didn't even bother to stand up, I recognized him as the same one who had picked her up earlier but I didn't remember his name, though his black hair was still as straight as before and his eyes covered by his cracked glasses.

"I'm Equius." Not really surprised that he didn't say much, I didn't even feel offended this time, it was just a feeling I got that he didn't talk often. With a small smile and a roll of her eyes, the next girl stood up, her red-ish brown hair kind of frizzed out around her, her rust red eyes shining as she smiled kindly at me.

"I'm Aradia, and I'm glad you could make it to my party, Karkat talks about you so much after all." She nudged the guy next to her as she sat down, he sighed and pushed his 3-D like glasses up before standing, looking unamused as he messed up his short light brown hair by running a hand through it.

"I'm th'ollux..." Oh, Karkat had spoken of Sollux before, said they're really good friends, I just didn't realize he had a lisp and it kind of took me off guard, but by the way he was acting he really didn't seem to like it. I glanced over at Karkat who was sitting next to me with his arms crossed and his candy red eyes in a hard glare right at me.

"You know me fuckass!" Smirking, I shoved my shoulder against my raven haired friend, trying to get him to chill out, but he just glared harder and shoved me back almost knocking me straight into the person next to me, who just so happened to be Terezi. He laughed as I lightly smacked his shoulder.

"Well you're no fun!" Some of the others around chuckled as Terezi sat up on her knees and leaned against my shoulder, her clouded over pale blue eyes mostly blocked by the red glasses and the glare of the fire, her grin as wicked, yet friendly, as ever.

"You better know me John! Else I'll give you my greeting again!" She stuck her tongue out, ready to lick my face at any second until Karkat finally pulled her away and next to him. Hesitantly looked over at where Terezi had been sitting, Gamzee was sitting not far away in a daze, he just kinda glanced over a smirked without moving his black hair out of his purple eyes. I guess he was just too high.

"Well, you already know Gamzee." Nepeta giggled at the words, but I chose to ignore her and move my attention on to the boy in the wheelchair that was looking at me nervously, his chocolate colored eyes blocked slightly by the black bangs of his mohawk. He fidgeted in his chair then smiled slightly, as if almost afraid that I would hurt him.

"Uh, hi, I'm Tavros... It's um, nice to meet you..." Smiling and waving at the obviously timid boy to try and get him to not be so afraid he smiled wider as Vriska, who was sitting next to him, rolled her cerulean eyes and gave a large wicked grin.

"You don't need to hear my name again loser." The last girl stood up, her jade green eyes contrasting her pale blonde hair, and she smiled sweetly as I contemplated why she looked so familiar, running through any of my memories that might tell me.

"Hello, I'm Kanaya, I spend a lot of time with your friend Rose, and she's told me about you." That's why she looked so familiar, I saw her in the halls talking to Rose all the time, and they seemed to be great friends. Rubbing the back of my neck again, I looked around nervously, trying to do my best to place faces with names, running over all of them in my head as quickly as I could.

"I'll do my best to remember names, but, no promises..." Aradia looked around at everyone before standing and brushing off her skirt, a smile tugging at her lips as all eyes moved to her, she glanced around again before speaking,

"Who wants to play a game?" Most everyone, well besides Eridan, Equius, Sollux, Karkat, and Vriska, raised their hands happily, eager to do something more than just sit around the campfire for the rest of the night. Though I really wouldn't mind trying to get to know them a bit more to be honest, they all actually seemed pretty cool, well, most of them. "How about a round or two of Seven Minutes in Heaven?" Nepeta Jumped up and squealed happily, her eyes moving over to me, a bright yet terrifying gleam in them, I couldn't help but gulp. "Okay then!" Aradia took a phone from Sollux's hand, silently messing with it before looking up with a smile. "Okay, we've got an app that will randomly pick two names from the list I've typed in. The two that get picked, will be the ones that go in the closet!" Nepeta pouted a bit, then sat down, crossing her arms as Aradia watched the screen of the phone, showing it to Nepeta as the screen finally came up. My whole body grew cold as Nepeta took the phone, and quickly but excitedly exclaimed.

"The first two are Gamzee and John!" Feeling my heart jump into my throat, I nervously glanced over at the giant sitting not too far away from me, he just now seemed to have tuned into the conversation and looked around confused, but as Tavros whispered to him, his purple eyes shifted to me and he smirked.

I just wasn't lucky tonight...
