"Whoa whoa! Get out of there!"

"It'z wrmmmm!!!" He curled up and didn't move.

Just great...

I sighed and laid there.
It actually wasn't that bad.. It felt nice. His purring soon put me to sleep.

"JOOOOOOOOOOOOHN!!! MY THRTZ ALL BTTR!!" I woke up to Karkat jumping up and down on my chest.

"That's. Great. Ow. But could you stop. Jumping. OOF. On my chest?"

He jumped one more time before sliding off.
"ERDN AND THLLX CALLED!" He grinned.

"What? When?" I sat up, rubbing my eyes.

"AN HOUR AGO! I WANT WFFLZ!!!"
He rolled around on the bed.

"Are you always this hyper when you wake up?"

"YEA." He giggle and jumped down from the bed, running out the door but he tripped over his sweater again.
"JOOOOHN! MY SWEATER IZ TURNG AGAINST MEEEE!!!"

"We'll just get it hemmed so it can fit you better. Ready to meet more people?" I stood up from the bed.

"WHO?" He looked up, tilting his head.

I picked him up.
"My friend Rose. Feferi says that she knows someone like..you!" I poked his nose on the word 'you'.

"RZ? ROOOOOZ.. ROOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZ!" He grinned. "SHE HAZ A TROLL TWO???"

I nodded. "Let's eat then we'll head over to her place, okay?"

"KAY!"

As I let Karkat watch some more Sesame Street, I looked through the contacts in my phone. It has been a long time since I called any of my old friends..
I found her number and called.

"Hello?"

"Uh.. Rose?" I questioned.

"Yes? Who is this?"

"Uh.. My names John. John Egbert. I'm an old friend.. ?"

"John! It's so good to hear from you! How are you??"

"Great! Uh, anyways.. I was hoping me and a guest could come over to get some clothing hemmed and stuff.. A girl named Feferi told me that your troll is an excellent seamstress!"

"Oh yes, I know Feferi. And Id love for you to meet Kanaya. Who is this guest?"

"Uh, Karkat. He's a troll too."

"Fantastic! Get a pen! I'll give you my address!"

I did as she said and wrote down the address to their house.
She hung up and I walked into the living room, listening to Karkat trying to sound out words.

"CAAAAAAAAAAROTZ!"
"AAAAAAAAAAPPPLLLLLEEE!"
"VEGGIEEEEZZZZ!!!" He grinned.

I laughed and scooped him up into my arms, turning off the tv.
"Ready to go, Karkat?"
