Chapter 10
Your name is Her Imperial Condescension and today is the first day of school at Skaia. You walk up on stage proudly, heels clicking on the floor loudly and golden jewelry jingling. You scan the audience for the familiar face of your daughter Feferi, and then Karkat, who is currently giving you his death glare while John Egbert looks scared.
Other then this small factor, everything is the same. Perfect. Everyone in the same place, with the same emotions and same expectations of the year ahead (the expectations were wrong). You would rewrite the universe again, and again and again, until it's warped enough to be a separate universe on its own, no similarities.
All you needed to achieve this was yourself, Karkat, and the two universes, Calliope and Caliborn, who stabilized the two universes when making the big SWITCH (aka, scratch). These factors were what stabilized your definition of perfection, and no matter the cause of the SWITCH, may it be the death of an important stabilizer or the dooming of certain timelines, you'd always cause it. So your universe would be perfect and YOURS.
You look at your audience, ready to make a proper speech on the school and the year ahead, ditching the ghetto accent and replacing it with a professional type of voice, which would comfort the students.
"Hello there. My name is the Condense. I would like to welcome you to Skaia High, and it is a pleasure to see all these new faces here today!" You hear a clap from the audience, smile, and continue to make a long inspiring speech filled with expectations and gushing with smiles and excitement.
You end with "now you may all report to your dorms! Classes start in a week so get yourself accustomed to this learning environment!"
As soon as the crowd is done piling through the doors and the auditorium of people is empty, your sweet smile changes rapidly to a smirk. Your co-scientist, Dolorosa, stares at you quizzically, and then proceeds to rush and give the students a grand tour.
"The kid's too helpful for her own good" you murmur, flipping your hair and walking away.
Your name is Dave Strider and your roommate is John, who is currently blushing while the spider girl flirts with him. Sure, you don't mind rooming with John, he's your best bro, but you want to know more about that kid Karkat, who keeps on springing in your mind ever since you made eye contact with him.
You split up with the group and begin walking to your room with John, who is still blushing.
"So," you say, turning the key and opening the room, which was nice for a dorm room, well furnished with multiple rooms, a flat screen TV and everything.
"What's with that Karkat guy?" I ask, John sighs and shakes his head "I dunno, it's like he already knows us really well and we don't remember. Or that he's broken beyond repair. And I have this weird feeling that WE broke him"
You nod. There was definitely something up with Karkat.

Yay update FINALLY! I'm sorry, but it seems I'm really busy w/ school and all so updates take awhile... I also am in the midst of writing a novel, which takes time! So I have the update, yay! One last thing, this fanfic isn't very popular but I want to ask those few readers I have, who should be Karkat's roommate? Should it be Fef, because he's her bodyguard, or should it be someone else? Just say your all time Karkat OTP (any quadrant) and it can happen! Backstory coming up soon, so if you want an OC in there, I can do it, but then again I might not. All depends on my ideas! So tell me what you think!
