Sorry this chapter isn't very long. But I'm so glad I can finally post it! :)

A few months later (March) Porrim and Kankri had been living together at Kankri's house. Kankri acted no different at school but he would occasionally ask how Kanaya and Nepeta were doing. Porrim would visit sometimes and sometimes Kanaya would go visit Porrim and Kankri. Karkat talked to Kankri sometimes and had gotten used to Kankri's lengthy way of speaking.

"Karkitty, can my furiends come over to play?" Nepeta asked one morning at breakfast.

"Sure." Karkat said. "I'll be out today anyway."

"Are you hanging out with Terezi?" Kanaya asked.

"No, she's busy helping Latula with something. I'm just going to go to the gym."

"Say hi to Equius fur me!" Nepeta said.

"I will."

Awhile later Karkat was at the gym, running on the treadmills. He'd said hi to Equius for Nepeta, and Equius had asked him to say hi back. The gym was mostly empty since most people were outside exercising. Karkat didn't mind, since it meant he didn't have to talk to anyone. Then someone came up to the treadmill next to him.

"Hi Karkat." Feferi said. Karkat was surprised to see her.

"Oh, hi. Why aren't you outside like most people?" he asked.

"I get out in the sun every day. I like to spend some time indoors." Feferi started jogging lightly. "How's that little girl been?"

"Nepeta? She's fine. Her arm got better some months ago." Feferi nodded.

"Well that's good. Who is she?"

"Uh, pretty much my adoptive sister." Feferi smiled.

"Oh, cute!" They kept jogging in silence after that. Karkat didn't really feel like talking to someone, and Feferi didn't say anything. Though there was something Karkat had been meaning to ask.

"Hey, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Why did you give me you're phone number?" Feferi looked confused.

"What do you mean?"

"You already have a boyfriend!"

"What-oh jeez Karkat!" Feferi giggled. Karkat was confused.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"That's not why I gave you my phone number!"

"What?"

"I just thought you could use a friend. I mean, other than you're girlfriend. That's all."

"Oh." Karkat wasn't sure what to say. He had sort of just assumed that anyone who tried to get close to him wanted his wealth.

They didn't talk the rest of the time Karkat was at the gym. After an hour he left. It was around noon so he decided to go get something to eat at the park. The ice-cream truck was there again. It seemed to be there every second weekend. Karkat bought some chocolate ice-cream and sat under the tree Nepeta had chased a squirrel up. He took his time eating it, savoring the nice warm sun. There were lots of people sitting on benches and in the grass. Karkat didn't really pay attention to them. They talked and laughed loudly. Wait a minute. Karkat stopped and listened. He recognized one laugh. Wasn't that Terezi? Karkat got up and walked around, looking around him. There she was! Why wasn't she at home? And wh-

Karkat froze when he saw her. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!

Muahahahahaha! Cliffhanger!
