DirkJohn- Truly Beautiful

What Happened after the Game

((Author's Note: Aaaaaaaand I couldn't get this out of my head, so here we go. Lemme know if you liked it, and maybe I'll continue.))

SBURB. The Game that started the Apocalypse and ended many, many lives.

Who knew they would ever win? 

But after they won, they all decided to just re-create the Earth as it used to be, with trolls included in the history in a good way. Every good thing in the society happened with the help of the trolls. Trolls weren't considered aliens. But they weren't considered humans either. They were somewhere in between for the world.

 It took a very long time to plan out. Too long.

So they also reversed their ages back to the day they started the Game, give or take a few years.

It had been a few weeks since they had let Time spin. They were all settling down, trying to adapt to the lack of action, adjusting to a new environment, and helping each other out.. All the lovey-dovey couple stuff came along. There were some lovers fights (mostly Dirk and Jake).

Strange enough, the guardians weren't there. They weren't brought back. Probably because the kids realized they were better off without parents or guardians or anything of the like. Maybe because Dirk and Dave had put up such a fuss at the idea and everyone else was so confused at the idea of parents running around the house again. Or maybe it was because they were a family (in a weird way) and it made up for a lack of adults.

In any case, today was just another weekend with Dave and Karkat binge-watching some movie beside Kanaya and Rose. Eridan was trying to pitch-flirt with Sollux while Aradia, Feferi, and Nepeta chatted about something or other. Vriska and Terezi were playing Battleship and they didn't seem to be making any headway. Equius was in his room, doing God knows what. Gamzee was sitting beside Karkat, occasionally letting out a happy "hOnK" sound when Karkat would pat his head. Tavros was outside on the tire swing in the front yard.

Jane and Roxy were making plans for dinner. Jade and Jake sat up in a tree most days and spent part of the night on the roof, talking about different things. Dirk was avoiding almost everyone but Dave.

John was in the backyard, bouncing on the trampoline, trying desperately to figure out if he still had any powers or not. So far, he really couldn't tell. None of them could. They all still felt connected to their Aspects, but they couldn't tell if they still had their powers.

Dave figured they didn't. They no longer had any of their weapons. Upon letting Earth spin after years and years of planning things out and working through all of the arguments over this "new" world, all of their weapons disappeared into thin air- like they'd never existed in the first place. It made all of them a bit sad but they tried not to dwell on that.

They were alive and that was all that mattered.
