Hi! Sorry I didn't update for awhile, school finally started because the teacher strike ended so I've been busy with shit. Anyway, enjoy this chapter!

Monday morning Karkat was in a much better mood while he got ready for school. Terezi would be there, and Gamzee was still suspended! That meant the day would be great!

"Karkitty, I want a cat." Nepeta said, snapping him out of his thoughts. They were at the breakfast table, eating pancakes.

"What? Where'd that come from?" Karkat asked, surprised.

"I love cats. I want a kitty." Nepeta said, making her eyes big. "Pleeeeaaaase?"

"Do not spoil her." Kanaya said. Karkat sighed.

"I'll think about it, okay?" he said. Nepeta grinned and nodded.

"Okay! Just remember, kitties are adorable!" Karkat smiled and nodded. Maybe a cat would be nice. Karkat finished his breakfast and grabbed his bag.

"Bye Nepeta." he said, kissing her forehead. Nepeta grinned and kissed his cheek.

"Bye big brother!" Nepeta waved to him as he walked off to school. Karkat waved back as he walked, then turned and faced forward.

When he got to school homeroom had already started. Luckily, the teacher, Kankri, wasn't there yet. Karkat sat next to Terezi, who grinned at him.

"Hi." she said. Karkat kissed her nose.

"Good morning. How are you?"

"Tired. Latula decided to stay over for the whole weekend, so I didn't get much sleep. How about you?"

"Nepeta announced she wants a cat."

"Aw! What did you say?"

"I said I'd think about it." Before they could keep talking Kankri walked in and everyone groaned silently.

"Is everyone here? Uh…yes! Alright, for today, I have a lecture about-"

"Hey, Kanny!" Everyone turned in surprise when a woman walked into the classroom. She had skin a little bit darker than Kanaya's and black hair that went down to the middle of her back. She was wearing a long black dress with a rather low collar and no sleeves, which showed off the swirling tattoos on her arm. She looked like she worked at a night club.

"Wha-Porrim, what are you doing here?!" Kankri exclaimed. "I am in the middle of teaching!"

"I know Kanny, but I had to come talk to you." the woman, Porrim, said. She walked up to him and kissed his cheek. The whole class did a double take and Kankri flailed a bit.

"Porrim! This is incredibly triggering!" he yelled. Porrim grinned and patted his head.

"Sorry, Kanny."

"Are you his wife?" a boy near the front asked. Porrim smiled.

"Not yet, we're getting married near Christmas." She held up her left hand, showing off a sparkling gold ring.

"Porrim, do you have a reason for coming here?" Kankri asked.

"Oh, yes. Is there somewhere I can talk to you in private?" Porrim asked, suddenly becoming serious.

"Uh, yes. The back room." Kankri turned to the class. "Behave!" he said, before leading Porrim through the door into the back room. Immediately most of the class crowded around the door.

"What are they saying?"

"Shush, I can't hear them!"

"Get back to your seats!" Kankri yelled, looking out the door. The kids ran back to their seats quickly. "Karkat, you're in charge for a few minutes. If anyone misbehaves, throw something at them." Karkat blinked in surprise. Throw something at them? That wasn't something Kankri usually said. But the kids didn't do anything, probably because the rich kid was in charge. Karkat rolled his eyes and ignored their stares. After a few minutes Kankri and Porrim came out. Kankri had a look of shock and amazement on his face.

"I'll see you." Porrim said, kissing his cheek. He just nodded and sat down at his desk. Porrim turned and looked at Karkat. "You're Karkat, right? Is Kanaya still you're maid?"

"Uh, yeah." Karkat said, confused. Porrim nodded.

"Great, I can go see her then. I'll come after school." And then she walked out of the classroom and everyone waited for Kankri to begin a lecture. But for once, he was completely silent.

"Did you get her pregnant?" the guy near the front asked. Kankri opened his mouth to say something, then stopped. He picked up the whiteboard eraser and threw it at the kid. "Ow! What the heck?!"

"Class, talk amongst yourselves for now." Kankri said. Everyone immediately began talking loudly. "Quietly!" Kankri yelled. Everyone reduced their voices to whispers, but Karkat could still hear them and knew that everyone was talking about the same thing: he hadn't denied it.

The bell rang and Karkat and Terezi walked to English class. Mrs. Lalonde gave Terezi the work she'd missed and got everyone else to read their books. About halfway into the class Terezi left to use the washroom. Fifteen minutes later, she still wasn't back. Karkat asked to get a drink of water, but he actually wanted to find Terezi. He walked quickly past the water fountain and to the stairs. The washrooms were all downstairs.

"Don't leave him! He needs you!" Karkat froze. Was that Gamzee? He was suspended!

"I don't even know what you're talking about! Leave me alone!" Okay, that was Terezi. Karkat ran down the stairs and looked behind them.

Gamzee had Terezi pressed against a wall and was glaring at her. Terezi was trying to get out of his grip, but he was too strong. Karkat ran at him and shoved him off her. Gamzee fell to the ground and Karkat pulled Terezi away.

"Karkat?" Terezi asked.

"Yeah, you okay?" Terezi nodded. Gamzee just stared at them, still on the ground.

"Don't hurt others." he said. Karkat frowned.

"What is he talking about?" he asked.

"No idea, he kept telling me not to hurt you, or something." she said. "I don't know why, it's not like I'm going anywhere."

"Fuck off, Gamzee." Karkat snapped. He grabbed Terezi's arm and pulled her away.

"Don't hurt him!" Gamzee yelled again. Karkat and Terezi ran back upstairs while Gamzee kept yelling at them. When they got back to the class there was only ten minutes left. They spent in on their phones. When the bell rang they got their stuff and went to gym class.

The rest of the day passed quickly enough and after school Terezi came with Karkat to pick up Nepeta. They got there early enough that all her friends were there. A teacher was standing with them, talking to who Karkat assumed was Jane.

"Karkitty! Terezi!" Nepeta ran over and hugged them. "Come meet my friends, Terezi! And Jane's aunt! She's our music teacher!" Nepeta pulled them over to her group and introduced them all.

"Nice to meet you, Karkat." the teacher said. "You too, Terezi. Didn't you meet Dave? I remember him mentioning a blind girl named Terezi."

"Oh, I had a conversation with him. Why? How do you know him?" Terezi asked.

"I'm his mom, Jade Strider. How did he do with the rap contest?"

"He didn't win, but I got a video." Terezi pulled out her phone and Karkat brought up the video. Jade watched it while Nepeta talked to her friends.

"Hey, Terezi!" Karkat and Terezi turned to see Dave running up. "What are you doing here? Who's this?" Karkat frowned. Okay, that was a first. Someone didn't know who he was.

"Hi Dave, this is Karkat. We're picking up his little sister." Nepeta turned and looked at Dave.

"Karkitty, who's he?" she asked, hiding behind his leg.

"I'm Dave Strider, the coolest of the ironic cool kids." Dave said. Jade rolled her eyes and handed Terezi back her phone.

"Ha-ha, Dave. Nice rapping, but I think you should get an actual subject for your raps."

"There was one! Didn't you notice?" Dave asked. Jade shook her head and he sighed. "Fine, I'll work on it."

"Karkitty, are we going now?" Nepeta asked. Karkat nodded.

"Yeah, we gotta go." He took her hand and led her away while she waved to her friends.

"Bye guys!" she called. Her friends called bye back. Karkat picked Nepeta up and put her on his shoulders. "Whee! I'm so tall!" she declared. Terezi laughed.

"So, Jade's Jane's aunt?" Karkat asked. Nepeta nodded. "They do look a bit alike, don't they?"

"Yeah, her dad's Jade's brother, and Casey's dad is also Jane's dad's brother. And Casey's mom's Jade's husband's sister." Nepeta said.

"Wow, did you spend all day memorizing that?" Karkat asked. Nepeta nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, are you proud?"

"Yeah." Karkat reached up and pat her head. Nepeta purred and smiled.

"So Karkitty, can I get a cat?" Nepeta asked, bending down to look at Karkat in the eyes.

"Uh, sure, why not?" Karkat said. Nepeta squealed and hugged his head.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"We'll go pick one out on the weekend, okay?" Karkat said. Nepeta grinned and nodded.

When they got to the mansion Karkat found that Porrim was really there.

"Hi again." she said when she saw him and Terezi. Nepeta hid her face in Karkat's hair.

"Uh, why are you here?" Karkat asked.

"Porrim is my younger sister." Kanaya said.

"I didn't know you had a sister!" Karkat exclaimed. Kanaya shrugged.

"It didn't seem like important information." Karkat, Terezi and Nepeta decided to let them talk and went to the living room. Nepeta picked up the remote and looked at Karkat.

"Okay, here." Karkat took the remote and turned the TV on for her. Nepeta grinned and sat down next to him. Karkat put his arm around Terezi and they closed their eyes. Eventually they fell asleep to the sound of a cartoon jingle.

Yes, PorrimxKankri. Because it is so cute. :3

By the way, Jane's dad is Jake. So John, Jade and Jake are all siblings (John and Jade are twins). I've got no clue who Jane's mom is. And then Rose, Dirk and Roxy are siblings (Dirk and Roxy are twins).

Okay, ages: Porrim: 28 Kankri: 28.

Hope you liked the chapter. :)
