Sorry this is a short chapter. I wanted it to end at the point it did, so...yeah (you'll understand when you read the chapter). Enjoy it...
A month later, Karkat still didn't have a girlfriend. But he was doing fine. Nepeta and Kanaya supported him and talked to him. Karkat hadn't talked to Gamzee at all since last month. Karkat had heard he'd gotten a longer suspension for punching Terezi.
Porrim and Kankri were visiting one day. Kanaya and Porrim were in the sewing room, working on baby clothes. Nepeta was in her room playing with Nepkat, and Karkat was in the living room with Kankri, watching the news.
"How have you been doing?" Kankri asked suddenly. "You seem to be doing a lot better."
"Yeah, I've gotten over it." Karkat said. "It's all in the past, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Life always has hardships." Karkat nodded.
"Did you ever have any?" he asked. Kankri nodded.
"Yes, actually. In high school I dated Latula for awhile."
"Wait, what?!" Karkat exclaimed.
"You don't have to be so shocked." Kankri looked offended. "It didn't work out, but we occasionally talk. She's rather busy with Mituna now though." Karkat nodded. He'd seen Latula a few times when she and Mituna were there to visit Sollux while he was with Nepeta and her friends. Latula had apologized to him for not being able to talk to Terezi or tell him what was going on. Karkat had told her it wasn't her fault.
"Like you said, it's a past thing now." Kankri continued. "Some people just can't get back to what they used to be afterwards."
"Maybe it's for the best." Karkat said. Kankri looked surprised, but nodded.
"In some ways, yes it is."
"Kanny." Porrim said, walking in. "It's about time we go home." Kankri nodded and stood up.
"It was nice to see you again Karkat." he said. Karkat nodded and he and Kanaya walked with them to the door.
"Two more months." Kanaya said, smiling. Porrim nodded, grinning.
"I know. I can hardly wait."
"At least it's not twins." Kankri muttered. Karkat and Kanaya laughed.
"Too bad. I would have liked to see your reaction." Karkat said. Kankri rolled his eyes and Porrim chuckled.
"Nice seeing you two again." she said. "Bye."
"Bye." Karkat and Kanaya said, waving as they drove off. When they were gone Karkat went to check on Nepeta. She was sound asleep, with Nepkat lying on her head. Karkat grinned and picked Nepeta up, causing Nepkat to fall on the floor. She glared at Karkat and began washing her paw. Karkat chuckled and put Nepeta in bed. Nepkat jumped up and sat next to Nepeta, purring. Karkat patted Nepeta's head and turned the light out. He went to his room and sat on his bed. He still hadn't gotten a new computer yet, so there wasn't much to do. Instead he stared at the ceiling, letting his thoughts drift. He stayed like that for almost an hour. Then there was a knock at his bedroom door.
"What?" he called. Gary opened the door and stepped in.
"You have a visitor." he said. Karkat could have sworn Gary looked upset. But he didn't have emotions, or at least didn't show them.
"Who is it?" Karkat asked. Gary stepped out of Karkat's room, and in collapsed a sobbing Terezi.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! CLIFFHANGER!
