The doomed timeline

Chapter 2

A few weeks went by, and Karkat still  had those stupid creepy dreams. But he didn't bother waking Dave up when he had them. He just tried to ignore them and go back to sleep. He hated that stupid movie for making him have stupid dreams.

Karkat was sitting in the living room by himself watching TV, scrolling through the guide hoping to find something entertaining to watch. He couldn't find anything so he just put it on a random channel that had a shitty cartoon on. It didn't make much sense. He watched it for a bit trying to make sense of what the hell was going on, when suddenly he felt hands grab his shoulders.
He yelped in surprise. "Holy fuck!" Karkat turned around to see Dave standing behind the couch.
"Oh my god that was hilarious," Dave laughed.
"Fuck you! You scared the shit out of me!" Karkat growled.
"I know. That was the point," Dave replied with a smirk.
"Fuck you!" Karkat said again, turning away from Dave.
"Hey, don't be like that," Dave said, going around the couch and sitting beside Karkat.
Karkat huffed and crossed his arms.
"Come on Karkles." Dave said ran his hand through Karkat's hair. Karkat started to purr quietly, and Dave smiled.
"You're so mean. You know that, right?" Karkat muttered, still purring.
"Yeah I know but you still love me," Dave replied kissing Karkat's cheek.
"Yeah you're right about that." Karkat leaned over and gave Dave a proper kiss. When they pulled away, Karkat leaned on Dave's shoulder.
"What are you watching?" Dave asked, looking at the TV.
Karkat looked back at the TV. "I have no fucking clue."
Dave and Karkat watched TV for awhile, until Dave had an idea.

"So were are we going again?" Karkat asked as he was putting on his shoes.

"A farmers market," Dave replied grabbing his phone.
"What the hell is a farmers market?"
"It's a event where a crap ton of people all gather in one space and put up booths and try to sell you things that are really overpriced, but you by stuff anyway because it's cool." Dave opened the door.
"Sounds interesting," Karkat replied as he walked outside.
"Hopefully it should be," Dave said as he closed the door and locked it. He then grabbed Karkat's hand and they began to walk to the farmers market.
When they got there they walked around, looking at all the different stalls. Dave stopped at one that looked interesting. They were selling squishy things that looked like different types of food. While Dave was looking, something else caught Karkat's eye. There was a booth across from the one they were at, and it had a bunch of kids toys. But there was also something that definitely didn't belong there.
"Uhh... Dave?" Karkat tugged on Dave's sleeve, trying to get his attention.
"What? What's wrong?" Dave asked, seeing the look of terror on Karkat's face.
"Why the absolute fuck is there a bucket over at the booth selling toys for kids?!?" Karkat pointed over at the booth.
Dave tuned and looked to were Karkat was pointing and burst out laughing.
"Dave why are you laughing this isn't funny! It's disgusting!"
Dave continued laughing, but he managed to calm himself down. "Okay, how can I say this so you'll understand? So... humans don't use buckets for the same thing trolls, you know? Well... when kids go to the beach and stuff they bring buckets with them to fill with water and sand to make sand castles...."
Karkat stared at Dave blankly for a few seconds. "That is fucked up! What the hell?! Why would human lususes give their kid a bucket to make things with?! That's just weird!"
"Yeah, but for humans its just something you do. You go to the beach with your bucket and build things. If it'll make you feel better, just pretend you never saw the bucket and let's keep moving," Dave said as he took his phone out and checked the time.
"...okay then, let's keep going," Karkat agreed.
Dave put his phone back in his pocket. As they were leaving, someone bumped into Dave, almost knocking him over. The person kept walking and didn't even acknowledge he bumped into Dave.
"Watch were your going asshole!" Dave called after him, but the person had already disappeared in the crowd of people. "Seriously, some people..." He shook his head.
"People can be idiots sometimes," Karkat said as they began walking around again.
"Agreed," Dave said, grabbing Karkat's hand. Dave and Karkat walked around for awhile longer and then decided to call it a day and went home.
When Dave and Karkat got home they made themselves supper and decided to watch a movie. It was a movie about a girl falling down a rabbit hole, eating a bunch of food that made her trip balls, and then painted flowers with giant-ass talking cards. It was weird but good. After that they cleaned up and went to bed.
It was three in the morning when Karkat woke up. But this time it wasn't because he thought heard foot steps, or saw someone standing in the doorway.
It was because he could feel something cold and sharp pressed up against his neck.
