Hey, I'm back! I would have posted this chapter sooner, but I did crazy crap on Halloween and I was too tired yesterday. But I'm back and I get to post this chapter! Yes!

"Aaaw! Look at the lovebirds!"

"Shhh! You'll wake them up!" Karkat frowned and opened his eyes. Vriska, Sollux and Tavros were looking down at him and Feferi. Vriska smirked at him.

"Good morning Cinderella. Found your prince charming?" Karkat blushed and sat up, which woke up Feferi.

"Nithe boyfriend FF." Sollux teased. Feferi blushed and sat up.

"Hey, hey, don't let us disturb you." Vriska said. "Continue with what you were doing."

"Cut it out Vriska." Karkat grumbled. Vriska just laughed.

"Karkat's embarrassed. Karkat's embarrassed." She sang. Karkat kicked sand at her and stood up.

"What time is it?" he asked, changing the subject.

"Around noon." Sollux said. "You two were athleep for a few hourth."

"Well, now Nepeta can do a shipping drawing for you two." Vriska said. Karkat immediately thought of the one she'd done of him and Terezi, and how she'd been afraid that by drawing it she'd doomed their relationship. But that was stupid, it was just a drawing.

"Yeah, you can get her to do one when you go home." Sollux said. Feferi sighed.

"You're going to tease us for weeks, aren't you?" she asked. Sollux and Vriska grinned.

"How'd you know?" they both asked. Karkat groaned and shook his head. Great, just what he needed. He was about to say something when Tavros's phone went off.

"Hello?" he said.

"Tavbro! I need help!" Karkat froze. Was that Gamzee?

"Uh-okay. Um, we're at the beach now-"

"I can't go there! There's people there and they'd get hurt!"

"Oh-okay! Um, we'll get Vriska to drive us to you! Where-where are you now?!"

"We're in alleys at the moment! Just get somewhere and we'll meet you there!"

"O-okay!" Tavros looked up at Vriska.

"Tavros, what's going on?" Vriska asked.

"W-we need to get in your car." he said.

"Wait, why?" Karkat asked. "Wasn't that Gamzee? Why would we help him?"

"I'll explain later! Just…hurry!" Vriska sighed and picked Tavros up.

"Grab the stuff guys."

"We don't have time!" Tavros insisted. Vriska looked at him.

"They'll get stolen-"

"Then we'll buy more! Just—come on!" Vriska finally nodded and sprinted to the van. Karkat, Feferi and Sollux followed. They climbed into the van and Vriska turned it on.

"Where are we driving to?" she asked.

"Uh, school! Let's drive to the school!" Tavros said. Vriska hit the ignition and they drove off. "Gamzee, we're going to the school, okay?"

"Okay! We'll get there!"

"Okay-wait, why are you saying we?"

"Shit! Tavbro, I can't talk and run fast enough at the same time! I'll meet you at school!"

"O-okay!" Tavros hung up and put his phone in his pocket.

"So seriously, what's going on?" Vriska asked.

"Just…you'll see when we get there." Vriska sighed but didn't question him further. Tavros was sitting shotgun and kept looking out the window. "Can't we go faster?"

"I don't want to get a ticket!" Vriska snapped. Tavros nodded quickly and stayed quiet. Karkat stared out the window as well. What the heck was going on?!

"There's the school!" Tavros said, pointing ahead. Vriska drove into the parking lot.

"Okay, now what?" Tavros pulled out his phone.

"I'll call Gamzee and-"

"AAAH!" Karkat froze. Wasn't that Nepeta?! He looked out the window and tried to see where she was. She'd sounded close…

Then Nepeta ran around the corner. Karkat leaned out of the car window and waved to her. She saw him and ran up.

"Karkitty!" she wailed. She had cuts on her that were bleeding and she was crying.

"What happened?! Did Gamzee attack you again?!" Karkat asked. Nepeta shook her head. Tavros reached over and grabbed her arm.

"Where's Gamzee?!" he cried. Nepeta pointed the way she'd come. At that moment Gamzee came around the corner. Actually, he was thrown around the corner. He hit the pavement and Karkat saw him cough up some blood. What the hell was going on?!

"Gamzee!" Nepeta yelled. Gamzee staggered to his feet as an adult came around the corner. Karkat's first thought was that he was huge! Karkat hadn't realized people could be so tall and so large at the same time.

"Gamzee! Come on!" Tavros yelled. Gamzee and the adult both turned in their direction. Nepeta screamed and ran into the car. The adult immediately ran there. Gamzee jumped on him and punched his head. The man roared and threw Gamzee. Gamzee landed a few feet away from the van. "Grab him! Hurry!" Tavros said.

"Get back here!" the man yelled. Nepeta ran out and grabbed Gamzee's arm. Gamzee sat up and reached a hand for the van doors.

"Come on, get in!" Tavros yelled.

"I said get back here!" The man grabbed a rock and threw it at Nepeta. Nepeta screamed and covered her head, but the rock missed her by a few feet and instead hit Vriska's van. Sollux jumped out of the van and stood between the man and Nepeta and Gamzee.

"Stop it!" he yelled.

"Sollux!" Feferi cried. "What are you doing?!"

"Out of my way, brat!" The man raised his fist and Nepeta yelled. Sollux ducked and kicked the man between his legs. It was then that Karkat realized he was wearing cleats. The man gasped and doubled over. Sollux jumped back in the van and pulled Nepeta and Gamzee in.

"Let'th go!" he yelled. Karkat shut the doors and Vriska hit the gas. The man yelled and ran after them.

"Karkitty!" Nepeta wailed, hugging him. She started crying and Karkat hugged her and stroked her head.

"Shh. Shh. Calm down. It's going to be okay. It's going to be fine."

"Tavros, what the hell is going on?!" Vriska yelled.

"It's our dad." Gamzee said. "He's kind of a psychopath!"

"What do you mean our dad?" Karkat asked. "Yours and who's dad?"

"D-daddy wants to kill me." Nepeta moaned. Karkat froze.

"What did you just say?!" he exclaimed. Gamzee sighed.

"I just found out. Don't freak about it now, dad's on the warpath."

"Why is he after you two?" Feferi asked. "I mean, he's your dad."

"He's a psychopath!" Gamzee snapped, glaring at her. "And actually, he's just after Nepeta."

"What?! Why?!" Karkat exclaimed.

"She's a reminder of her mom, and our dad wants to eliminate all reminders of her." Gamzee bit his lip and stared at the ceiling.

"How did Nepeta's mom die?" Karkat asked. Gamzee didn't answer him. He looked at him for a few seconds before looking back up at the ceiling.

"…I have a few guesses." he finally said. Karkat ground his teeth together.

"Well, now I see who you take after!" Gamzee glared at him.

"Shut up! I've actually been trying to get better!" he yelled.

"Really? You didn't look like you were trying when I first met you!" Gamzee stood up and glared at him.

"You don't-"

"Stop it!" Nepeta yelled. Gamzee froze and looked down at her. "S-stop it! You're both my big brothers, so you shouldn't fight!" Karkat wanted to yell that she shouldn't consider Gamzee her brother, but he stopped himself. Gamzee just sat down on the floor and sighed.

"Sorry." he said. Karkat just scowled at him.

"Um, Karkat? Can you please be nicer to Gamzee?" Tavros said. Karkat glared at him.

"Why should I?! Do you know what he-"

"It's not his fault!" Tavros yelled, silencing Karkat. "So stop it, please! He's really been trying his whole life! He's gotten better, really!" Karkat looked at Gamzee, who just looked up at him. Karkat sighed and leaned against the car seat.

"Fine." he said.

"Okay, now that we're done that discussion!" Vriska yelled. "I'm running low on gas, so one of you call the cops on this freak already!"

"Okay! I'll-" Before Tavros could finish his sentence the car suddenly stopped.

"What the hell!" Vriska yelled, slamming on the gas. "There's still gas left! Why aren't we moving?!"

"Oh shit." Gamzee said, looking behind them. Karkat turned around and jumped. Gamzee and Nepeta's dad had grabbed the car. And he was strong enough to keep in it one place. Nepeta screamed and hid behind Karkat. Vriska kept swearing and kicking the gas pedal.

"Tavros! Call someone already!"

"Uh, right!" Tavros held up his phone but then the car got tipped on its side and they all fell over.

"Ow! Get off me!" Sollux yelled. Gamzee and Nepeta's dad punched a hand through the rear window, cutting himself. Nepeta screamed and he grabbed at her. Gamzee reached over and bit his wrist.

"Ow! You son of a bitch!" He pulled his hand away and ended up dragging Gamzee out of the car by breaking the window with him. Nepeta screamed again and Vriska started yelling at Tavros to call the cops.

Gamzee clawed at his dad's arm, cutting it. His dad yelled and threw him to the ground. Gamzee rolled out of the way of a punch aimed at his head.

"Get out of here!" he yelled, running off. His dad ran after him, cursing.

"How can we?! The van's tipped over!" Vriska exclaimed.

"Uh, I called the police." Tavros said. "They said they'll get here soon."

"What about Gamzee?!" Nepeta cried.

"He can take care of himself." Tavros said. Karkat thought he looked like he didn't believe that, but he didn't mention it. Suddenly the van was tipped back on its wheels. Karkat looked across from Feferi and Sollux and out the window.

"Equius!" Nepeta exclaimed.

"Are you all alright?" he asked.

"You have to help Gamzee!" Nepeta said, pointing in the direction he'd run off. Equius nodded and ran off. Karkat could hear police sirens approaching and he sighed with relief. Feferi stepped out of the car and waved to the police cars. Karkat closed his eyes and hugged Nepeta. They were going to be fine.

Lots of shit happened there. There's more to come, so I hope you're all ready. :)
