You cannot reminisce. Your girlfriend is not at all, in any way, the shy and retiring type, and she just punched you in the leg. From your experience with Dad's Mangrit Method of Interaction you recognise it as a friendly punch. She is tiny but she is a troll, and it STILL HURTS.
"I've always wanted to conquer aliens!!!!!!!!!!" she says, so excited that you're pretty sure she missed her count on the exclamation marks. "You look like a really silly one!"
"Welp," says Dave, and "Oh noooooo," says Terezi, who has been getting along pretty well with Jade. Karkat's jaw is probably about to unhinge in sheer horror. Everybody else who came out with you guys are a little too far away to have noticed what happened.
"I ... I could show you movies ... of much sillier ones..." you say to little Vriska, because you two were planning to watch movies after you finished your flight-date.
"Yeah!!!!!!!! Is it one of those educational videos where a whole species blows up? Those are awesome!"
You take tiny Vriska by the hand and start to walk home, trying not to think about Chris Hansen. You once had daydreams about holding the hand of - the older version of!!! - this girl. You thought about not closing your eyes, not falling asleep, and not missing a thing about her. Because you had missed her for a long time, a little bit, even though logically you knew that there wasn't that much to miss after all.
Wait, now you are reminiscing, but way too far back.
Karkat and Dave had been having a fight as stupid as theirs always were, but this time it wasn't even entertaining. Vriska had been caught in the Time-and-Blood crossfire when she went to talk to Terezi, and now she has been made as dear and sweet as Casey ever was, and you have been made A TERRIBLE CREEP.
"Fix this!!" you hiss over your shoulder at Dave and Karkat.
