[ The video turns on to reveal a Jade that is grinning wider than any girl should legally be able to. She points at her hair. ]

I don't really know how long I spent on earth after all my friends got into SBURB, but I think it's close to my birthday at home. I'm fourteen! So for my birthday, I got my hair cut. I couldn't get the mats out, and I really like it short.

Dirk, will you wake me up in time for your movies? I don't want to miss them, but I want to sleep right away!

[ Ack! She laughs again, batting at his hand. ]

I'm older now!

[ She finally stops joking around and pulls a slim pendant out of her pocket. ] I wanted you to have this. So we could dream together. I know you've never been to Prospit, but... [ A shrug. ] It might be fun. To dream with someone else.

[knightime]

[He takes the pendant from her, slightly surprised. He had never been on Prospit. He knew the differences, but never experienced them. Derse wasn't exactly a warm, welcoming place. It was kind of dark to be honest.

He traced the word 'thanks' into her palm, just a little embarrassed.

It took him a minute or two to dig something out of his pocket. He placed in her hand, a link charm. To be exact, the link charm that went with his.]

[greenspaces]

[ She looked down at it, for a moment not quite recognizing what it was she held. And then she recognized it -- the things she'd looked at in Recette's shop -- and looked back up at Dave. There's a moment of silence, and she stares, a little bit agape. ]

Are-- are you sure? With me?

[greenspaces]

sure
ill be asleep really soon
i just need to meet up with dave hehe

[knightime]

only if you want too

[Don't look at him like that! He's just slowly losing all his cool or whatever. God, he really sucks at this. Be right back, staring at his PDA like a loser. Gosh, what a loser!]

there isnt anyone else id rather do this with

[greenspaces]

[ She thinks about it for a few more minutes, then nods. But of course, he can't see it -- so she carefully places a hand over his PDA, the other one setting aside the charm carefully before cupping his cheek. ]

Me neither. You're my best friend in the whole world.

[pencilpremonition]

So wait, if I come get that pendant thingie and we both go straight back to our rooms....

We can hang out....

On the moon?

[knightime]

[Dave: Just go with your impulse.

You sure as hell can do that. And you do. Hopefully you don't mind nose bumping a bit as Dave leans forward to kiss you. Right on the lips. Oops.]

[greenspaces]

[ She is going to giggle a little bit because bumping noses is silly!! But she finally decides that maybe it's okay to kiss back? Because that's what fourteen year olds do. They kiss people they like. ]

[knightime]

[He'd be more terrified if she didn't kiss back. But since she responded, the obvious tension in Dave's body relaxes and he slides his hands so they're resting right where her neck meets her head, thumbs brushing against her cheek.

He's not the best kisser, by far, but he's at least trying to show that he means it.]

[greenspaces]

[ She moves her hands to what she thinks might be okay kissing procedure, that is, carefully touching his face. This kiss is totally the most awkward: nose bumping and teeth hitting and Jade nervously giggling into it because wow, what are they doing?

Finally, she needs air, she she pulls away just a little bit and smiles. ]

Um.

[greenspaces]

So everyone disappears...

[ She thinks about that for a second before snapping back to reality. ] Huh? Oh...not too fluffy. I don't really like bangs.

action

[greenspaces]

It's okay.

[ She hesitates, but then puts her arms around Jadesprite. ]

I know you didn't mean to. Even though you're really sad all the time, I know you don't want to be. And since you're kind of like me, you're probably pretty nice, too.

voice

[theillbeatknight]

[Most everything after the second line seems like a non-sequitur, but that second line (despite not making sense; is Rakuen a traveling island? well, there are legends about those...) grabs David's attention.]

Prospit is near the island of Rakuen? I'll have to tell John. Do you know when we'll be there?

Re: action

[sobsprite]

[And she kind of clings on. Tight huuuug] I just wish I knew why. I just get sad and then I get a headache and it hurts.

[pencilpremonition]

That sounds so awesome!!!

[knightime]

[Dave just kind of drags her into his lap so he can wrap his arms around her. Whatever. Fuck Karkat's shipping chart. He likes who he likes anyways.

He just nuzzles against her, being surprisingly affectionate.]

[greenspaces]

[ O-oh Dave what are you...

Jade turns a brilliant shade of red, but leans against Dave anyway, smiling. Good thing she doesn't know about the shipping chart, or she would be pretty embarrassed. Instead, she closes her eyes and tries to figure out something to say.

Finding nothing, she settles for happy humming, some tune that was on her lunchtop. ]
