This took me forever but still better than some of my other stories. Thank you for the follows, favorites, and reviews. A big thank you to my sound board when it comes to this story. Without her it would have probably taken me a lot longer to get this out there. Also my scene introductions are either long, ridiculous, or both.

Disclaimer: That convoluted plot mess known as Homestuck does not belong to me. There's no way I could come up with something that complicated.

Breakfast is Served

Waking up to the smell of pancakes was an odd feeling. Only one of them was used to an actual breakfast and it was the cook.

Jade smiled to herself. It was starting to look like a good day already. She had slept in until 8 and getting breakfast soon after waking up was nice.

Rose was pleasantly surprised by the smell and groggily sat up in bed. It looked like one of her new roommates actually knew how to cook breakfast foods. Now Mother couldn't say anything about Rose starving and that her younger daughter should come home.

Dave smelled food. Actual food. He slowly drifted towards the kitchen where the scent was coming from. The last time Dave had an actual breakfast was when Dirk still lived with him and Bro.

John hummed to himself as he flipped the last pancake. He had easily made enough for all of them to have at least three pancakes. After all good food is one way to help break the ice.

John took his gigantic stack of pancakes and put it in the middle of table. He then went to get plates and utensils.

"John. Would you be so kind to move so that I may make myself some tea?"

"Huh, oh sure Rose. Do you want some pancakes? I made a whole bunch for everyone."

John had to keep himself from laughing at Rose. Just by looking at her, John knew that she was not a morning person.

No matter how articulate she was on a normal basis, Rose Lalonde was nowhere near functioning level. Her platinum blonde hair was a disaster, she had dark circles under her eyes, and she was moving like a zombie.

It got even better when Dave stumbled in and just sat down at the table. His red eyes showed confusion.

John was having an even harder time keeping his laughter in as he looked at Dave's glazed over eyes.

The funniest part was when Jade bounced in.

"Good morning everyone! Thanks for the breakfast John."

John started laughing softly as he gave Dave the coffee pot and a mug.

Maybe coffee would wake up the zombie.

Jade decided to be helpful and got out the maple syrup along with cream and sugar in case Dave wanted some.

It turned out that he wanted a lot of both.

Jade who drank black coffee just shook her head and dug into her pancakes.

Rose and Dave were enjoying actually having breakfast with every intention of going back to sleep when the peace was disturbed by John and Jade jumping up and pointing at each other.

"You're my cousin!"

Jade moved over to where John was and they both clasped hands and started jumping up and down in excitement.

Rose and Dave exchanged a look, nodded, grabbed their plate and drink, and high tailed it back to their rooms.

Being awake in the mornings might be contagious and that was not something either of them wanted.

"Oh, I have so many stories to tell you about Uncle Jake."

"And I need to tell you all about Dad Squared and Jane. Jane's our cousin and my technical half-sister."

"But wait, if we're cousins, then why didn't we know this earlier? Uncle Jake is so going to get it from me. Grrr."

John just sighed,

"I can tell you why Dad never told me. He forgot because and I'm quoting him from the multiple times he's done something like this,

'Well son, sometimes this old brain of mine just isn't as sharp as it once was. Of course I forgot to tell you. You didn't remind me to do so in the first place.'

And I just have to accept it because he gets all huffy about it and complains to Dad Crocker about how his son's going through his rebellious phase."

Jade's eyes had become wide as she imagined and older John looking man wearing a fedora and saying exactly that. (John's voice was very descriptive.)

"Wow. Wait. Who's Dad Crocker?"

John was blindsided before remembering that there was no way Jade could know about Dad Crocker.

"Dad Crocker is Dad's identical brother who he was separated from at birth. It's a long complicated story that even I still don't understand fully. Jane can probably explain it better than I can."

"Okay dokey. You'll have to take me to meet everyone sometime. I'll introduce you to Uncle Jake when he gets back! He's on a dig right now but he should be back when the semester starts."

"Cool. Anyways I'm going to get started on my video. I've put a basic idea for how to make it. I can upload them and we might even become YouTube famous! How awesome would that be?"

Jade who was already excited about the idea felt her grin become wider. This was going to be so much fun.

Rose and Jade Bond

Rose finally woke up at 10.

She almost went back to sleep but decided that waking up early once in a while couldn't hurt.

More like all the time because Jade and John no longer let Rose or Dave sleep past 10:30.

She made sure that she looked presentable before leaving her room and walking down the hall away from the bedrooms.

Rose didn't have to go to work yet because it was only Saturday and she didn't start working until Monday.

Rose remembered that she needed to ask if her roommates would be okay with a cat. If they were then maybe she could bring Mutie here.

"Rose! You're up!"

"Ah, Jade. I see you're working on your video."

"I already finished it. John's given me access to the account and the email he set up so that we can upload them on our own."

"Did John give anymore instructions about the videos? I'm not entirely sure what my videos should be about. I haven't given them much thought."

"Well, I'm making my videos about the adventures I'm going to go on while I'm in the city. I've never been to New York before so I'm going to have fun exploring it and making videos about it."

"And what do you plan to do when you run out of adventures?"

"Oh that'll never happen. A person can find adventure wherever they go if they just know how to find it. Uncle Jake taught me how and he's the best adventurer ever."

Rose blinked to clear her mind from the enthusiasm she was just exposed to.

She was vaguely reminded of her older sister Roxy who smiled a lot the way Jade did.

Jade would probably get along with Roxy though it was slightly scary to think what might happen if those two met.

"I see. Have you seen John and Dave since breakfast?"

Jade shrugged,

"John said he had to get to work and a while ago Dave ran out mumbling something. He's so weird."

Under her breath, Rose mumbled,

"A roommate who works on Saturdays, another one who seems distant, a cheerful girl who still knows how to dream, and me. We're going to have some interesting things happen."

Rose had a feeling that the weirdness surrounding the group was only just starting.

This Whole Mess is Dirk's Fault

"I was gone for all of one day and this is what I come back to. Just what the hell were y'll up to last night."

Dave was not happy to see the mess that had been made of his club.

A mess meant looking through the reports from last night and looking through the reports usually meant more paperwork to be done and there was already enough of that.

"Sorry boss. Eridan had classes last night and the substitute bartender didn't show. I had to put one of the new workers out there. The new workers are also fucking idiots. Where did you find them?"

Cronus was very lucky that Dave decided not to lower his shades and look Cronus in the eyes.

Dave's eyes had always been a powerful weapon against others starting from a young age. He originally used them to scare the old lady who would always call him the devil's spawn just because of them.

Cronus obviously realized this and was quick to start working on making sure everything would be ready in time for opening.

Honestly whose bright idea was it to let Dave run a club? Oh wait, it was Dirk's for buying the place and then not having the time to actually run it.

"Cronus, do me a favor buddy and put out an ad for a new bartender. If Eridan ain't gonna be working every night we should at least have someone who knows what they're doing."

"Sure thing boss. I'll get right to it. Also could you talk to them new workers? They have no idea what they're doing and I'm tired of fixing their damn messes."

"They had better figure out what they're doing soon or their asses are going to get fired."

At least Dave had finished the video and given it to John. One less thing to worry about.

Let's Get This Party Started

John was really excited about this.

Everyone had uploaded the introduction videos which meant they could start doing their own things.

The plan was that everyone would watch the videos on their own time and they'd figure out how to more together as time went on.

John remembered that he needed to contact Jane to see if she'd be okay with him bringing Jade over soon.

The sooner those two met the better. John just knew that Jane would love Jade and adopt her into the family as an actual family member instead of a cousin they had just learned about.

He quickly took out his phone and texted Jane Crocker. She'd probably reply in the morning and he could take Jade to the bakery when Jane got back from visiting Dad Squared.

John leaned back in his seat and stretched.

"Whelp, it's time to sleep. I have work again tomorrow and simulations for training are going to start soon."

Shadowy Figure Subscribes. Plot Twist: Internet Fame is Coming

"If you watched this video all the way, you should also watch my roommates' videos so you can get a better idea about what we're doing with this channel. Thanks again for watching and if you'd subscribe that would be awesome."

As the video ended, The Four Strangers got a very important subscriber. This one subscription would launch them into Internet fame. Something the four accidental roommates had never really considered.

The shadowy figure of this important subscriber turned off his computer after hitting the subscribe button.

He mumbled to himself,

"This either going to be fucking interesting or it's going to be a fucking train wreck. Either way it promises to be hilarious."

Thanks for reading and please review! Also can you guess who the shadowy figure is. They're kind of famous.
