You watch as you see something swimming in the very large tank, the night sky shinning above the hole that Eridan had made. You return your gaze to the tank, watching as a very pretty troll emerges from the water. "Welcome to the end of the circus," she giggles, pushing back her hair. "I am the heir to the Alternian throne and it is quite nice to meet you all."
You watch her, wondering how the gray paint was staying on in the water before she ducks under, swimming to the bottom and picking up a trident. She was elegant in the water, graceful as she swam in the very large tank. Her horns seem impractical, but she doesn't seem to mind.
You watch as she swims upward and jumps through a hoop, which the troll from the act before seems to be holding it for her to jump through.
You watch the act until Karkat comes out, standing off to the side. You seem to be the only one to notice him and he notices you watching.
There was a splash as Eridan was dragged into the water with Feferi, some of the fish swimming away in fright from the new addition.
Karkat glances over his shoulder, watching the two as they went still, Eridan swimming back to the surface.
"The last act, let us here it for Feferi Peixes, the water princess." Karkat said as Feferi climbed out of the tank as well, turning to take a bow. "Let us here it one more time for each of our acts! Aradia Medigo, the acrobat! Tavros Nitram, the Animal Tamer! Sollux Captor the Ψiioniic! Nepeta Leijon, the Lion tamer! Kanaya Maryam, the Chainsaw Artist! Terezi Pyrope, the Hangman! Vriska Sekret, the thief! Equius Zahhak, the Strong Troll! Gamzee Makara, the Clown! Eridan Ampora the failed Magician and of course, Feferi Peixes, the Water Princess!"
Karkat lists off the names, giving pause as each one comes out. You see Vriska, the rope still around her neck but she seems very much alive. You watch as the others slowly start to leave but you don't want to leave. You feel as if you've found a part of yourself.
You see your other three friends, watch them as they converge into a group. You walk over, listening to them talk among themselves. But you keep quiet. Your own gaze is on the trolls as they turn to begin breaking everything down.
You wonder about them before you shake your head. Something like a distant dream is telling you that you know them but you don't really know the trolls, since they claimed to be part of a different planet. You let the thoughts slide away as you turn to leave with your friends, your parents already head.
But something calls you back, and you realize that there is no leaving for your friends and yourself. You feel as if there is nothing and that you are trapped. But you don't mind, you like the circus.
Your friends and you turn, going to talk to the trolls like long lost friends. Of course they are, how could you ever forget the pact that you had together? Or the game that you played?
You had remade the earth, wanted a simple life and they were meant to retrieve you at a certain point. And now you were back with your friends and it was exciting. You missed them and you were truly home.
