Well, here's the next chapter. I seriously just watched the update. Holy crap.

Anyway, since a person asked, yes the Disciple and Signless are Karkat's parents. (To avoid any confusion, through weird shit he's still not actually related to Nepeta because her mom was I guess Meulin and I just don't have her related to the Disciple in this fanfiction, just cuz.)

Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

Two days later it was Monday. Karkat went to school as usual. He hadn't talked to Terezi since she'd shown up on Saturday, and he didn't plan to. He avoided her during class and in the hallway. He wasn't trying to be mean, he was actually going for the opposite. He was afraid that if he actually rejected Terezi by telling her she would completely fall apart.

When the bell for lunchtime rang Karkat grabbed his lunch money and went to the cafeteria. He bought his food and automatically started walking to his table in the corner before he remembered what he'd said and stopped. He looked over at Feferi's table and saw she was looking at him. She waved to him and after hesitating he walked over and sat next to her. Her friends looked shocked to say the least.

"Hi Karkat." Feferi said. Karkat nodded to her. "These is my friend Vriska and my twin brother Tavros. And Sollux said you've already met him."

"Yeah. Hi." Karkat said. Vriska rolled her eyes and mumbled hi back. Tavros looked flustered.

"U-um…h-hi." he stuttered. Karkat groaned.

"Could you please not do that? Just treat me like a normal person." Tavros nodded quickly.

"Okay, sure." he said.

"Doesn't your boyfriend sit here too?" Karkat asked Feferi. Feferi bit her lip and Vriska snorted.

"We broke up a few weeks ago." Feferi said.

"Oh." Karkat started to get the same feeling he did whenever someone who wanted his money talked to him. He suppressed it instantly. Feferi had given him his phone number when she'd been dating that guy, so she wasn't like that. He hoped he wasn't wrong.

"Everyone's gossiping 'cuz you're sitting here." Vriska noted, looking around the room. Karkat wasn't surprised, he'd been expecting that.

"They're probably all jealous." Karkat muttered. Feferi sighed.

"They're like cockroaches." she said.

"Or locuthtth." Sollux said. Karkat shrugged.

"Yeah."

Karkat was silent while he ate. Feferi and Sollux talked about homework and Tavros brought up a conversation about upcoming exams.

"Why don't we all go to Karkat's to study?" Vriska suggested.

"What? Why?!" Karkat asked.

"Well, we've alwayth been going to my houthe and my mom'th thtarted to get annoyed." Sollux said.

"We can just go to my place." Feferi said.

"Nah, I don't mind." Karkat said. Vriska grinned.

"Cool! I bet it's really big!" she said.

"Sollux would know, he's been there." Tavros said.

"Oh yeah! What's it like Sollux?"

"I'll let it be a thurprithe." Sollux said, grinning. Vriska scowled at him and put her arm around Tavros's shoulers.

"Hey, complain with me about that! That's not fair!" she said to him.

"Uh, but that would be rude…" Tavros said. Vriska sighed heavily and rolled her eyes.

"Fine! I'll wait 'til after school to find out."

Of course, Karkat had to go pick up Nepeta first. Vriska also had to pick up Aranea and Feferi and Tavros had to go get Rufioh. So they went to the elementary school first.

"Karkitty!" Nepeta exclaimed, pouncing on him.

"Hi Nep." Karkat said, ruffling her hair. Nepeta looked at Feferi, Vriska, Tavros and Sollux.

"Sollux!" She ran up and hugged him. Sollux smiled and hugged her back.

"Hi Nepeta."

"Karkitty, who are they?" Nepeta asked, pointing at the others.

"Feferi, Tavros and Vriska." Karkat introduced, pointing at them when he said their name.

"She's my sister." Aranea said. "Remember? You saw her when we went to the fair."

"And you saw my sister then too." Rufioh said.

"Oh yeah!" Nepeta exclaimed. "I remember!"

"Tavros is my brother." Rufioh explained. Nepeta nodded, looking at them both.

"We're going to Karkat's to study for exams. You two wanna come?" Vriska asked.

"Yeah." Aranea said. Rufioh nodded as well.

"Can my other furiends come too?" Nepeta asked.

"Sure." Karkat said. Nepeta ran up to Horrus, Jane and Casey and talked to them. Their parents were there so they talked to them. Then they all ran back to Karkat.

"They can come!" Nepeta announced.

"Great, let's go." Karkat said.

They were a big group walking to Karkat's. Nepeta talked to him about her day while her friends talked amongst themselves. Feferi didn't talk, instead focusing on pushing Tavros's wheelchair. Karkat wondered how he got like that. Not that he would ask, that would be rude. Vriska talked to Tavros as they walked, and from what Karkat could tell they were dating. Then why the heck had she tried to ask him out?!

"Wow Karkat! You got friends!" Dominic said when they arrived. Karkat rolled his eyes.

"Ha-ha." he said. Dominic grinned and opened the gate for them. Gary showed no emotion when he saw Karkat's group. Kanaya seemed thrilled.

"I'm glad you finally have a group of friends." she said. Karkat just shrugged.

"Mama! All my furiends came over too!" Nepeta said, hugging Kanaya.

"I can see that. Are you all going to be in the living room?"

"We're studying, so we might as well go to my room." Karkat said. Kanaya nodded.

"Good idea." So while Nepeta and her friends went to the living room Karkat and his group went to his room. Of course, Sollux went with Nepeta's group because he was only at the high school for computer class, so he didn't have exams.

Vriska laughed when she saw Nepeta's drawing of Karkat.

"Nepeta drew it." Karkat said.

"I kinda figured." Vriska said, still chuckling. They all sat on the floor with their books.

"Let's go over history first." Feferi suggested.

Nepeta was sitting in the living room with her friends. They were all doing drawings for their homework. They had to draw what they pictured themselves like as adults. Nepeta drew herself with pretty much the same outfit she was wearing. She drew a grown-up Nepkat next to her and an older Karkat and Kanaya.

"Shouldn't you draw your husband?"Aranea said.

"But I don't know what he'll look like." Nepeta said.

"Jutht draw him how you'd want him to look." Sollux said. Nepeta stared at her paper awhile before deciding what to draw. She drew a man with brown hair and freckles standing next to her.

"Does that look good?" she asked, holding it up.

"It looks great." Casey said. Nepeta looked at Casey's drawing. There was her, her parents, her husband and an older boy.

"That's your brother?" Nepeta asked. Casey nodded.

"Yeah." She had mentioned he'd run off with Mrs. Strider's son. Casey obviously missed him, just like Mrs. Strider obviously missed her son.

"He'll be back thoon." Sollux said. "Thtuff like that never lathtth long." Casey nodded and went back to drawing.

"I know." she said.

"Hey guys, it's getting late." Kanaya said, poking her head into the room.

"Oh, yeah. We should head home." Feferi said. Vriska and Tavros nodded and they all collected their books. Karkat walked them to the door.

"Nice place Karkat." Feferi said. Karkat just nodded. Kanaya came over with all their tired siblings.

"John's coming to pick up Casey and Jane, Sollux's mom is coming to pick him up and Equius is coming to pick up Horrus." she said.

"Okay." Karkat said.

"Come on Aranea!" Vriska said. Aranea put her shoes and coat on. "Bye guys. See you tomorrow."

"Bye Karkat."Feferi said.

"Bye." Feferi took Rufioh's hand and grabbed Tavros's wheelchair. They walked out and the rest waited for their rides to get there. Equius arrived first and got a hug from Nepeta.

"You're getting quite tall." he said.

"Yeah! I'm gonna get really tall soon!" Nepeta said. Karkat smiled and patted her head. Next Sollux's mom came and picked him up.

"Bye Nepeta." Sollux said. Nepeta gave him a hug.

"Bye Sollux!" she said.

When John came to pick up Casey and Jane, Karkat could tell he was upset. He smiled to Karkat and said hi, but the smile seemed half-forced.

"Bye Nepeta!" Casey and Jane said.

"Bye!" Nepeta said, hugging them both.

"Nice to see you Karkat." John said. Karkat nodded. They got in their car and drove away. When they were out of sight Nepeta yawned. Karkat smiled and picked her up.

"Bedtime." he said. Nepeta mumbled something in his neck as he carried her to her room. He put her in bed and she sighed happily.

"Furiends are great." she said. Karkat smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, they are." He tucked her in and kissed her cheek. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Karkat turned out the light and left the room, still smiling. It was nice to have friends.

Yeah, there went the EriFef. Sorry to all of you who ship it (I do as well).

Hope you all liked the chapter. :)
