How Aradia and Sollux Came to Be

4/13 Today, I decided to update for the occasion.

The four teens sat there at a table, eating their Mcdonalds pancakes, Terezi hadn't tried it in a while and so was grateful.

Damara went to get her own food at another store, she didn't favour McDonalds apparently, but it didn't matter. They sat in a little booth, Karkat and Terezi beside each other.

Terezi took the time as she ate to have a good think about Aradia and Sollux. It's not like she could get any awkward glances for looking at them, as far as Terezi knew, they couldn't even see her eyes. Nonetheless she munched on her weird tasting pancakes as they ate in silence. She however, decided to break it.
"So Aradia, how'd you meet the lisp guy here?" Terezi asked between chewing. Aradia perked up slightly. Sollux just mused.
"Sollux you mean? Well it's a long story..."
Terezi just shrugged.

"Well it started off with me sneaking out to explore the little forest part behind my house. It's just a bunch of trees, they don't last long until the city becomes to emerge. I always walked around in hopes I'd find a dead body or something, as a souvenir yknow? As for Sollux, he could see me from his bedroom window. He was also on the third floor, so I could obviously hear him yelling stuff at me from the building. We met like that, me having strict parents who monitor everything I do, they don't know about Sollux. Sollux's parents just wanna make sure he's hanging around good influences, so as far they know I've graduated highschool and am gliding through university." The female explained, Sollux didn't really seem to care about what she spilled about their life. Maybe he muttered a bunch of complaints under his breath, but he stayed moderately quiet.
"Wow, it's like a reverse rapunzel story." Karkat commented on the story, Aradia laughed, slightly amused, but Sollux just shot him a weird look. Karkat humoured on.
"Sollux, Sollux, let down your nerdy hacks." The boy mocked.
"Yeah like I'd just do that." Sollux retorted, crossing his arms as Aradia and Terezi laughed to themselves.
"You could say it kinda went like that...."Aradia mused out the window as Karkat almost choked on his Pepsi.
"Did he really throw his computer out his window? What's up with that?"
Aradia moved her head back, quickly regretting her statement.
"Sollux was complaining about yelling to each other to speak, so he dropped the ladder for the fire escape and I walked up to his floor. The security there is pretty tight though." She explained reassuringly. That made more sense. The lisp would value his computer over his life, that meant no throwing it out the window.
"So you just visited each other a lot like that?" Terezi asked, sipping her juice box.
"Yeah, Aradia would come by everyday to annoy me. I'd have to drop the ladder frequently too." Sollux answered this time, shrugging casually.
"Annoying or not, without me you'd still be a pessimistic couch potato." Aradia added, amused and smug. Sollux just rolled his eyes through his blue and red glasses, Karkat and Terezi just watched as if it were a show.

As they sat, Damara walked into the McDonalds, grabbing a chair and slipping into their booth. She just sat there with a plastic bag and a nonchalant expression. Karkat and Terezi having no idea how Aradia's older sister was like kind of tensed up, she was sort of intimidating.
The older female then got the bag opening it to reveal some sushi. Aradia and Sollux just brushed her off, they probably knew that she'd order it.
Without a word, the woman then proceeded to eat her California rolls and whatnot, Terezi and Karkat still watching.
"彼らは誰なの?" The woman then said, pointing her chopsticks at the the two staring.
"Did she just-" Karkat muttered.
"Speak Japanese?" Terezi finished.

It was an eventful day.
