Okay, here's another great chapter! (I finally get to post this chapter ermegerd I've been waiting for this!)

Three months later a normal life routine had been established after the chaos of summer. Gamzee had nearly killed his dad.Nearly. It seemed that that had loosed most of his destructive nature because he hadn't been so violent after that. Of course he nearly went to juvie and per Nepeta's begging Karkat paid a bail for Gamzee so he didn't have to go. Instead he went to counselors and even a psychiatrist. He'd gotten even more serious of getting better.

Karkat and Feferi had been dating well the whole time. Their relationship worked great and Vriska and Sollux teased them as promise. Karkat didn't see Terezi at all during those three months, and he was actually glad. He didn't know how stable she was, and what her reaction to his new relationship would be.

At school everyone knew Karkat and Feferi were dating. Plenty of girls were jealous and it seemed even a few guys were.

"I'm not even gay." Karkat grumbled.

"That's not going to stop people from hoping." Feferi pointed out.

Later that day when Karkat was washing his hands in the bathroom someone tapped him on the shoulder. He sighed and turned around and stopped. It was Feferi's ex, Eridan. Karkat hadn't noticed him around at all.

"What do you want?" Karkat asked. Eridan sighed.

"Howw's Feferi doing?" he asked.

"Fine." Karkat moved to leave but Eridan grabbed his arm.

"Are you treating her nicely?"

"Of course I am!" Karkat tried to pull out of Eridan's grip but he held on.

"I'm just concerned! I still care for her and if you do something to her I wwill find you!"

"You don't have to worry." Eridan glared at him and let his arm go.

"I'd better not." Karkat rolled his eyes and walked out of the bathroom. He understood why Eridan was worried, but he was hungry so he was in a picky mood at that moment. He walked back into class and sat next to Feferi.

"Tavros is going to see Gamzee after school." Feferi said. "So he won't be coming with us to pick up Nepeta and Rufioh."

"That's fine." Karkat said. They'd all gotten a system of going to the elementary school together to pick up their siblings.

"And I've got to pick up Aranea early for her dentist appointment." Vriska said, smirking. "So I get to leave school early!"

"We don't really care Vriska." Feferi said. Vriska scowled and stuck her tongue out at her.

"Work on the questions you four!" the math teacher snapped. They all sighed and returned to the math questions they were working on.

At lunch Sollux sat with them as they ate. Vriska had to leave halfway through lunch to pick up Aranea. So for the rest of the lunch they talked about the upcoming Halloween dance. Karkat really didn't feel like dressing up.

"I'm going to dress up." Feferi said. "Probably as a mermaid."

"Are you gonna dress up as a bee again Sollux?" Karkat asked, smirking. Sollux groaned and shook his head.

"No. And don't bring that up. Theriouthly." Feferi giggled.

"It looked great on you though!" She'd seen it when they'd picked up Rufioh.

"Ha-ha. Theriouthly, thtop talking about it."

"What are you going to dress up as Tavros?" Feferi asked. Tavros shrugged.

"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it."

"Well, you should. We've got two weeks until the dance."

"Are you going with Vriska?" Karkat asked. Tavros sighed and shook his head.

"She broke up with me last Saturday."

"Again? We need to find you a new girlfriend." Feferi said. Tavros looked embarrassed.

"It's fine, really. I didn't really like her like that really." Feferi sighed.

"Then why'd you go out with her?" Tavros shrugged. "Well, I hope you get a date for the dance. See if Vriska will go with you as a friend."

"Well…I'll see." he mumbled.

Then the bell rang and they all went to class. In computer class they had to make an animated video. Sollux helped out Karkat with the format since Karkat found it totally confusing. Sollux made a video of a cat chasing a squirrel up a tree. Karkat could tell he based it off the time Nepeta did that. Karkat just made a video of a white kitten walking along the top of a fence, then jumping down.

"Tha'th tho boring." Sollux commented.

"We're not all geniuses here Sollux." Karkat grumbled. Sollux smirked and went back to his video.

After school Karkat met up with Feferi and they walked together to the elementary school. Sollux usually came but he was grounded at that time. Something he'd done on his computer that made his mom really mad. He hadn't gone into detail and avoided the question when Karkat asked.

When they got to the elementary school Nepeta and Rufioh were waiting for them.

"Karkitty! Feferi!" Nepeta ran over and pounced on Karkat, then hugged Feferi.

"Hi Nepeta, hi Rufioh. How was school today?" Feferi asked.

"It was nice." Rufioh said.

"It was great!" Nepeta exclaimed. "There's a new swing in the playground that two people can sit on and we all took turns on. I went with Jane, Casey went with Aranea and Rufioh went with Horrus!" Rufioh looked embarrassed and stared at the ground. Nepeta grinned and Karkat knew she was thinking of her shipping chart, hidden away in her room.

"Why don't we get ice-cream on the way home?" Feferi suggested.

"Yeah! Ice-cream! Nepkat can have some too!" Nepeta held up the kitten, smiling. It was bring-your-pet-to-school-day so Nepeta had brought Nepkat. Horrus had brought a pony, which he was standing with not too far away.

"I don't think cats can eat ice-cream." Feferi said. Nepeta whined and looked at her with big eyes. Feferi just smiled and rubbed her head.

"Sorry Nepeta, but she's right." Karkat said. Nepeta sighed and nodded sadly.

"Well, let's go." Feferi said. Nepeta brightened up instantly and nodded.

"Yeah! Ice-cream! Ice-cream!" Rufioh nodded as well and he and Nepeta said bye to their friends before following Karkat and Feferi. Nepeta carried Nepkat and showed her all the sights.

"She's so cute." Feferi commented. Karkat nodded. Nepeta was very adorable, and very sweet.

On the way to the park they stopped at a crosswalk and waited for the light to say go. Nepeta was standing in front of them, holding Nepkat. Nepkat squirmed in her grip and suddenly jumped down and ran ahead.

"Nepkat!" Nepeta cried, running after her.

"Nepeta stop!" Karkat yelled. Nepeta grabbed Nepkat and held her up triumphantly. But Karkat wasn't paying attention to Nepkat, or the happy look on Nepeta's face. All he could pay attention to was the car speeding towards her.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Don't worry, this isn't the ending).

I was really tempted to end the story here when I thought this part up. Then I realized how horrible that would be so don't worry, there's more to come! :)
