~Aradiabot's POV~

I glanced at my fingers and wiggled them to make sure they weren't rusting up. To my surprise, I guess, they weren't rusting. They never rusted. I shouldn't be disappointed, but I was.
"HEY ARADIA. WHAT'S THE HAPS?" Karkat yelled pleasantly in my direction. It was unusual to see him happy. The bearer of our total destruction.
I dipped my head. "0n 0ur destructi0n? N0thing, Karkat. You know I c0uld kill y0u n0w s0 we w0uldn't perish. Ribbit. But that w0uld turn this int0 a d00med timeline, and we can't have that, n0w can we?" I attempted a smile but all I could accomplish was a strained grimace.
Our leader stared at me dumbly in return. "WELL FUCK." And then he walked away. I shrugged and replayed the kiss between Eridan and Sollux in my mind's eye. No really, I have a third eye in my soulbot brain that I replay memories in. I slowly made my way out of the room and yelled.          "Why am I like this?! Why am I dead?! Wh0 w0uld want t0 kill me?! Wh0 killed me?! Why can't I be with S0llux again?!" I crouched down, feel a wetness run down my face. I touched my cheek, feeling a goop. I scooped some up and looked at it. "W-What is this?"
  "D --> Tears. They are tears. Your soulbot was my favorite and last bot created. Yours has the most work, the most detail. In my opinion, the most beautiful as well." Equius whispered from behind me.
If I had a stomach, it would flip. "H-H0w much did y0u hear..?"
"D --> Quite a bit. All of it, in fact. I followed you to make sure you wouldn't break down. I worry about you, Aradia." He responded, crouching down next to me. "D --> Tell me what's wrong. Please."
I turned to glare at him. "N0."
"D --> As a noble b100 b100d I demand you tell me what is wrong, Aradia," Equius grunted.
I rolled my eyes. "We're b0th 'n0ble blue bl00ds', Equius."
"D --> Then tell me as a friend."
"Alright," I turned to face him, my legs crossed awkwardly, "Eridan and S0llux are in a caligin0us relati0nship al0ng with S0llux having a matespritship with Feferi. I'm jeal0us 0f Feferi f0r being with my 0ld flush crush and I'm jeal0us of S0llux's happiness. His happiness with her. The fact that he seems happier with her than he was with me... Is that bad?" My voice broke and I hid my face. Equius gingerly put a hand on my back and rubbed my shoulder.
"D --> It's not at all bad. It's completely normal.. Oh.. Oh fiddlesticks. I'm covered in sweat." He mumbled.
I gave him a smile-grimace. "I didn't n0tice. It's 0k. I'm 0k with a l0t 0f things. Ribbit."
He smiled at me in return. "D --> Jealousy is normal, especially with your e%, but it's natural. There's no use in worrying about something you can't change. You're fine the way you are."
"Really?"
"D --> Of course. Now let's head back to the lab." He stood up and offered me a hand, I took it happily, and I stood up.
"Even th0ugh I d0 have the kn0wledge 0f 0ur inescapable d00m d0esn't mean I sh0uld be s0 dismal." I stated happily.
Equius looked at me funny. "D --> Whatever makes you feel better."
We walked into the lab together, hand-in-hand. I was finally feeling happier.

~Tavros's POV~

Whirr, click, whirr, click. The constant sounds emitting from my metal legs. I didn't mind because now I was walking. The only bad part about walking now was Vriska constantly egging me on about walking down stairs. I didn't care though, for Rufio's sake. Ignoring her made Rufio feel better, and whatever made Rufio feel better made me feel better. Even though I knew he was fake, or "f8key, f8ke, f8ke," to quote Vriska.
Terezi had told me that I was strong enough to finally go down a flight of stairs. She said she believed in me, and hardly anyone says that to me. So I believed in me too. It was hard to believe in anything or anyone these days.
  Wandering around gave me time to think about various things, including Eridan and Sollux getting together.
It was good that they finally got together after who knows how many sweeps. The kiss was a bit much though. Well, that's what Nepeta thought anyway. We'd been sitting together when it happened. In my opinion, it's good that we're still acting like nothing really happened. I am kinda jealous of Eridan and Sollux because, unlike me, they have the ability to hate.
  I guess the steps I was taking were too big and confident because the ground dropped from under me and I tumbled nosily down the stairs.
  BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG. Sccctrch. I skidded across the smooth floor, scratching it as I went.
  After stopping, I attempted to stand up, but no dice. I guess my legs were too heavy and I sighed.
  "wELL, i GUESS I HATE, uHH,,, sOMETHING NOW," I thought aloud, "tHESE DUMB STAIRS."
