Karkats POV:
"M-MORE?"
"Yes."
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BY MORE!?"
"Karkat, Please Calm Down. I Will Just Escort You To The Others..."
"Hey, what's going on?" I looked and saw Dave walking out with...a shirtless John?
"EGBERT, WHY ARENT YOU WEARING A FUCKING SHIRT?!"
"Because S-" Dave elbowed him in the stomach.
"Uh...because Dave and I were playing truth or dare...so he made me rip my shirt..."
"That's a terrible dare Davve."
"Dude, he was wearing a Con-Air shirt."
"A Wwhat?"
"Con-Air! The greatest movie ever! Other than Ghostbusters..." John smiled.
"I NOW KNOW THAT DAVE ISNT AS STUPID AS HE LOOKS. I ACTUALLY CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR SMALL IDIOTIC THINK PAN OF COMING UP WITH A GREAT IDEA."
"Heh, thanks."
"Dave!! Karkat!! That was a great shirt!!"
"Um, If I May Interfere With This Topic... Since It Seems To Be About Clothing... Correct?"
"Yeah.."
"John, May I See The Shirt?"
"WE'RE SERIOUSLY DOING THIS WHEN WE HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS AT HAND? KANAYA IM SURPRISED YOUR ACTUALLY TAKING YOUR TIME INTO DOING THIS SHIT CALLED A DISPUTE. ITS IDIOTIC, ESPECIALLY SINCE THOSE TWO BULGE LICKERS ARE IN IT-"
"Here it is!" John comes running out of the room with a ripped up shirt.
"Oh Dear..." Kanaya took the shirt out of his hands.
"Well? Tell them it was awesomeness!"
"Oh, I'm Sorry Jonathan, But This Shirt Is Just... Horrid.."
"Horrid?!" John pouted.
I gave Dave a high five.
"YOU HEARD HER."
"Thanks a lot Kanaya!" Dave smirked.
"That's not nice!" John whined.
"Aw, cheer up Egderp," he put his arm on his shoulder. "I'll get ya' another ugly shirt if it makes you feel better?"
"R-Really!?" He smiled.
"Yeah, whatever." He shrugged.
"Okay, noww that that's outa' the wway...can wwe please go to the others noww!?"
"Oh Yes. Come On. I Brought Rose's Car."
"ROSE CAN DRIVE?"
"But Of Course."
"What? Since when can my sister drive?" Dave crossed his arms.
"For A While. Didn't You Get Ger E-Mail About Three Weeks Ago?"
"Ha, like I use email.."
"Oh..Well We Sent An Email..."
"WELL GOOD FOR HER SO NOW CAN WE FUCKING GO DEAL WITH THIS!?"
"Yes, Let's Go.."
-Time Skip /10 minutes later\
Jades House-
Solluxs POV:
I got to Jades house before them.
Some benefits to being a ghost or whatever the fuck.
I waited in the front of the house for them to come.
About ten minutes later they showed up. KK got out of the car faster than the others.
"WHY ARE WE AT JADES PLACE?"
"Because We Had Decided To Meet Here."
"IM SORRY WE?"
"Everybody.."
"What happened to everyone else?" Dave asked. John was helping Eridan out of the car.
Poor ED... Him and those crutches... I hope he heals up soon.. I just want to hold him.
"That's The Reason We Are Meeting... To Show You All.."
"WWhale lets go inside then.. Wwho exactly is here again?" Eridan tilted his head.
"Every One. We All Had A Group Chat Online."
"UM EXCUSE ME? YOU ALL HAD A GROUP CHAT WITHOUT ME? WHEN THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?"
"Does It Really Matter Karkat?"
"Dude, just calm down and let's get inside."
"WHATEVER.."
I walked up behind dave. I tapped his shoulder.
"Do you have any iidea what2 goiing on wiith everyone?"
"No idea.."
"II notiiced.. You guy2 all 2aiid thii2 2tarted happeniing after we came here.."
"Yeah and?"
"IIm pretty 2ure that ha2 2omethiing two do wiith thii2."
"We don't know that for sure."
"IIt2 not ju2t a coiinciidence Dave. II know that ha2 2omethiing two do wiith thii2.."
"Then what?"
"Dave! Get in here! Quick!!" John called from the door.
We both looked at John. He had a shocked expression on his face.
"What ii2 iit?"
"What is it?" Dave said for me.
"Just get in here! Like now!"
We looked at each other again. We both ran inside.
"Oh my Gog...." I looked at everybody.
"Holy shit..."
They were right about Vriska.
Terezi was sitting with her. She didn't have her glasses on. Wait, can she see?
Holy shit...
I looked at nepeta and Equius sitting together on the couch. He was hugging her and she didn't have her blue tail.
AA was sitting with Feferi.
Her fins.... They're gone... She.. What?
I looked closer and saw she had regular ears.
She didn't have gills either.
I listened to their conversation.
"So you don't )(ear the voices anymore?"
"N0..... And I see that y0ur a 'landwweller' n0w.."
"O)( don't say that. Only Erifis)( says that.. Or..use to.. Glub."
"Heh, y0u still like th0se fish puns th0ugh."
"Of course! Just because I can't breat)(e under water doesn't mean I still can't love the ocean!"
"Heh, yeah.."
Okay then.... I looked at Tavros and Gamz- whoa...
Gamzee looked fucking...NORMAL!!!
His hair was like... Holy shit!
He didn't have any paint on his face. The bags under his eyes were gone. He looked good...
Shit, if I wasn't flushed for ED I would totally kiss him right now. That's how good he looks.
Tavros was standing next to him. Tavros looked the same.
"uH,,,gAMZEE?"
"Yeah Tavros?"
Holy shit. He didn't say Tav Bro like he usually would.
"wHAT HAPPENED?"
"I don't know, but miracles are being made... Well... For some of us.."
Well the miracle part is still there...
I looked at Jade. Still the same. She was talking to Rose.
Rose.... Um... She's... Not good.
"Rose! What the hell happened to you!?" Dave ran up to her.
"Nothing...I'm fine David.."
"You are not fine! Look at yourself!!"
"Oh my god! Rose!" John ran up.
"I told you I'm fine. I'm still Rose.."
"Why is this happening!?" John was on the verge of tears.
"Jonat- John, please don't cry over me." Rose put her hand on his shoulder.
"It's not fair!!"
"Dude, calm down.." Dave hugged him.
"I'm sorry! I-I just-"
"Dude....it's going to be okay.."
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Most of my friends... They're hurt... Some, they're doing just fine...
Me.... In a fucking coma...
The pain they are going through...
Not just the physical pain...
The mental and what they are all going through..
I looked over at Eridan. He was talking to Rose. Her gentle smile was still on her face...
How can she smile.... How can she love and laugh, knowing that she is in that estate?
"Does It Hurt Darling?" Kanaya asked Rose.
"Yes, but the pain is the least of my worries. I just care about everyone else."
"Rose, I don't get you... Your so nice and caring.. Howw are you dealing wwith this? Evverythin'?"
"I try looking on the bright side... Do remember I was once the Seer of Ligh- oh!" She hugged herself in pain.
"Rose, Are You Alright?!"
"I-I'm fine... Just... Ah... Some pain shot though me is all..."
Eridans POV:
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I couldn't believe what everyone was telling me..
Everyone...well... Most of us confessed what had been lost or gained...
Me...nothin yet... At least I think...
But everyone else?
Kar? Nothing much has changed in him... He's still the grouchy one.. The loud one... But he's the same..
Aradia... She can't hear the voices.. No connection to the dead... She doesn't know whether this is good or bad for her...
Tavros... He's still the same.. Nothing has changed for him..
Nepeta, her sweet tail is gone. She's devastated... But based on what Equius has said... It's good... But not in her perspective...
Kanaya, her skin color. How the fuck is that even possible... We know for a fact she is still a troll... There's just no way she can turn human.. Is this good of bad?
Terezi, she told everyone she's gaining her sight back slowly. She can see us, but we are all just a blur.. She is ashamed that she didn't tell us sooner.. But good I guess?
Vriska.. They were right. Her arm is just gone, along with her eye. She says the vision in her other is blurring to black. She might become blind.. Bad in her favor..
Equius... He's not the sting one anymore. He's happy. He can finally hug Nepeta.. Or everyone...
Gamzee? Oh Gamzee. What happened to him? He's normal. He told us he hasn't had a pie since we arrived here. We guess the need for it has worn off.. He's a completely normal troll. The paint is gone. He doesn't see the use of its. Scratches gone. He talks normal...well most of the time he does..
Creepy that he's changed...but good..
And Fef... She's not a sea dweller... Her fins just turned to regular troll ears. She says she woke up and looked in a mirror, and there it was. Her gills are also gone. She can't go into the water and breathe forever like she loves to...
Bad to her...
And for the humans...well..
John is dorky as ever...
Jade.. Nothing has changed..
Dave.... He is hiding something.. I just don't know what.. But I can tell... Why won't he say anything?
And...Rose...
I feel so terrible for her.
She is in the most pain out of us all.
How could she care for others when she really needs to care about herself?
The condition she is in... It's terrible...
"Eridan?"
I turned around and saw Rose.
"Yes?"
"How is your leg?"
"It's fine... More wworried about you and Sol though..."
"Oh yes, Sollux... How is he?"
"Um.... He... I don't knoww.."
"I'm sure he'll wake up.."
"Hopefully, does it hurt?"
"The pain is wearing off on my head but erm... Not t-"
"I get it.... Do you have any clue Wwhat could be happening?"
"Um...I-It's not a good idea to ask me that Eridan.."
"Wwhy not?"
"Becau- AH!" She screamed in pain.
"I-I'm sorry! Did I do somethin'?!"
"N-no! I-It's just-" she bit her lip and fell to the floor.
"R-Rose!?" I looked down at her.
If I could go to the floor to comfort her I would.
"K-Kanaya! It's Rose!" I called out. Kanaya stopped her conversation with Dave and ran to Rose's side.
"What Happened Darling?"
"N-nothing....the pain is j-just getting worse...ah! " she screamed again and tears formed in her eyes.
"T-Take me home please..."
"Alright." Kanaya picked her up carefully.
"I Need To Take Her Home."
Jade ran up to them.
"Rose! Are you okay."
"I-I'm fine! Please just...l-leave me alone for some time to rest...." She held onto her stomach. I cried seeing he pain she was in.
"KANAYA, WHEN YOU HAVE THE TIME, MESSAGE ME."
"Okay. Good Bye." Kanaya quickly carried her to the car and put her in.
I watched them through the window as they drove off.
"What the hell happened to her!?" Jade said.
"I don't know, Kanaya said she was found like that this morning.. But the pain she's been feeling started happening immediately after we came here. They thought nothing of it until now." Dave explained.
"This is all fuckin' crazy..." I muttered.
"What was that Eridan?" John asked.
"Nothin... Just that this is all fuckin' crazy... Nobody deservve a Wwha has happened to them.. Especially the ones wwho are hurtin'... And yeah, that means you too VVrisk..."
"Wow, I feel soooooooo special..."
"I'm just sayin' the truth..."
"Whatever... 8e lucky I don't feel like-"
"VR1SK4 JUST C4LM DOWN OK4Y? PL34SE?"
"Fine..8ut only 8ecause you asked.."
"TH4NK YOU..."
I sighed and went over to Karkat.
"Hey Kar..."
"HEY..."
"D-Do you think...that... Wwhats happenin' to Rose can...y-you knoww...kill her?"
His eyes widened and he looked down.
"I HOPE NOT...SHES THE LEAST ANNOYING HUMAN.."
"Wow, we can feel the love." Dave said while standing next to john.
"WHATEVER.... I JUST DKNT WANT HER OR ANYONE TO DIE...AND JOHN?"
"Yeah Karkat?"
"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL SHIRTLESS?!"
"Oh...I dunno." He shrugged.
"Kitkat, chill. It's not like you haven't seen us shirtless before."
"I really should get a shirt to put o-"
"No John. Just relax. Karkat is just flipping his shit. And I think you being shirtless is the least of our worries right now."
"WHATEVER....but...LIKE WHAT I WAS SAYING...I DONT WANT ANYONE TO DIE..."
I kept looking down.
I started thinking about Sollux..
Please don't die on me....
Your all I have to look forward to..
I want to spend time with you, hold you... Kiss you....
I thought of a song I heard recently... One line kept repeating in my head...
I changed her to him...
'Only know you love him... When you let him go.... And you let him go..."
Sol.... I love you....
But I don't want to let you go....
Do I have to?
