Chapter Text
It had been almost two weeks since then and Gamzee finally came up with an answer. He had been trying to tell Karkat but every time he tried something came up. Finally when they were at school Gamzee found his chance. As the bell rung to go home Gamzee found Karkat and tore him away from everyone saying ti was urgent. Karkat wasn’t too happy but he let it slid as he was just flirting with Terezi.
As both boys walked home Gamzee looked at Karkat as he spoke. “Hey Karbro?” Karkat hummed as Gamzee continued; “I fucking think it’s best to get her to the next plain motherfucker. She motherfucking doesn’t belong here and if we motherfucking move then well motherfucking would have to leave her and I don’t fucking want that.”
Karkat glanced from Gamzee to the floor. “I’ll fucking email Dave then see if his sister isn’t up to help us.”
Gamzee frowned; “Dave sis? I thought she just like this motherfucking stuff.”
Karkat shook his head; “Rose is a medium I’m sure I told you before dumb-ass. We all knew it she can see and talk to the dead well I can only see them once and a while.”
Gamzee shivered; “ Kurbro sees her all the time too. No wonder dad left this place is fucking weird bro.”
Karkat laughed before punching Gamzee’s shoulder in a buddy way. “Asshole and make sure your brothers there. We’ll talk about it more tonight.” Gamzee nodded lightly as they continued to walk home.
You meanwhile were in Kurloz’s room on the floor being bored out of your ghostly mind. Kurloz was boring you as he had been sitting in the same spot since he had come home early at lunch. You glanced up at the ceiling before letting yourself faze through the floor a little and walked around like some sort of shark. Kurloz seemed to notice as only half your face was out of the floor. He smiled before pointing at his bed before finishing the one doll in his hand.
You sighed as you moved onto Kurloz’s bed as he was busy working on some sewing at his computer table. You smiled seeing the dolls were of the people he knew. Kurloz hummed as he tugged on one last string finishing the latest doll. He hummed as he turned in his chair to you before moving his hand. You couldn’t read what he was saying but he flashed you to doll to see it was like you. You smiled; “It’s me!”
Kurloz got up as he walked over and set in on his bed for you. You knew he couldn’t hear you but that was okay. You moved to touch the doll to feel the doll’s material but you couldn’t feel it but you could understand the weight. Kurloz moved getting up as he patted your head only to have it go through you which caused a shiver down his spine.
He moved his hand away to smile before going back to his spot and finishing the other dolls he had let to do for his fashion class. You sat there till you heard the door slam close and Gamzee’s shout. “I’m home!”
You smiled as Kurloz looked at his door before at his bed to see you’d disappear. He heard Gamzee coming up the stairs before a door slammed closed and Gamzee’s laughter. “Hey there tiny sis. I’m not going into our room right away I got to talk to Kurbro for a moment.”
Kurloz turned in his chair as his door opened. “Hey Kurbro can I have a word for a moment?”
Kurloz nodded before signaling. ‘Sure what’s up wicked brother?’
Gamzee signed back to him to keep it private. ‘I told Karbro that we’re going to send tiny sis to the next motherfucking plain.’
Kurloz’s eyes raised slightly. ‘You know I can’t do that-’
Gamzee shook his head. ‘Naw my wicked brother Karbro got Dave’s wicked medium sis to help she’s sent off children ghosts before my righteous brother.’
Kurloz hummed; ‘Powerful one?’
Gamzee gave a shrug. ‘I don’t know but she can talk to them.’ Kurloz made the signal for powerful. Gamzee sighed as Kurloz commented. ‘When are you both going to do it?’
Gamzee licked his lips. ‘Well when dad goes for a day or two business trip. Do you know when he goes next?’
Kurloz nodded sightly. ‘Next week on the 25th.’
Gamzee nodded before smiling as he spoke. “I’ll let Karbro know then thanks my brother. Oh Karbro says he wants you there too for some motherfucking weird power thing or something. I motherfucking gazed over.”
Kurloz gave a laugh which if you weren’t used to sounded like a deep bass thump. Gamzee winked at him as he moved to talk to you and to let Karkat know.
As Gamzee moved into his room he found some of his stuff missing or on the floor it seemed you got bored waiting. Gamzee frowned as his Goat-dad was on the floor. “Hey my tiny wicked sis you can’t be throwing Goat-dad on the ground cause you’re mad at me.”
Gamzee held over and picked it up before dusting it off placing it back on bed. Gamzee turned his head at his desk as the paper weight that his father made for him rolled on his desk. “Come on tiny sis.”
Gamzee seen it rolled around as if you were playing with it rolling it just to the edge to roll it back if to bother him. Well Gamzee watched on you snickered it was his fault for taking so long. Gamzee was fun to bug as he gave you the best expressions Kurloz just smiled at you and fluffed you off and HB ignored you when you did anything even though it was fun to make him doubt his beliefs. You zoned back to Gamzee when you heard the Cow and Chicken theme song play on Gamzee’s TV.
You smiled rolling the paper weight back before climbing onto his bed to watch the program. Gamzee watched as the bed indented which caused him to laugh little as he flipped on his laptop to let Karkat now. It was a while and he was talking to you till the he felt the hairs on his arm stand up but a pencil rolled off his desk and moved to the door before it spun around. “What’s up?”
Gamzee stands up before he moves to the door opening it as he does so the pencil stops moving as he found his father on the other side of the door. Gamzee opens his mouth then closes it. “H-hey Dad what’s ah got you all up and outside my room for?”
HB narrowed his eyes as he pushed opened the door before looking around his room opening the closet and checking things. “Who the fuck you motherfucking talking too motherfucker.”
Gamzee smiled; “I was motherfucking talking to my wicked brothers and sister from school but I making needed to motherfucking bleed the lizard dad.”
HB looked at his youngest before he glared at the screen before narrowing his eyes at his son. “Fine motherfucker but you motherfucking come down to the motherfucking kitchen afterward dinners motherfucking ready.”
Gamzee nodded before he sighed in relief that his father took what he said or it would be really hard to explain with being sent to the doctors. You held your breath even though you didn’t need to breathe. You popped your head from under the floor to see Gamzee’s father stock back down stairs.
You weren’t totally afraid of him but he was way to much like his father. You paused as Gamzee walked through you to the bathroom to go. You moved up from the floor and sat on the floor thinking about how it looked for him like he was talking to himself and about your own parents.
You sighed heavily before going into your closet and curling up feeling bad that you were getting the boys into trouble so you kept yourself in there for the rest of the night as punishment. Gamzee founded that night you were very quiet but you didn’t seem to come out for the rest of the week. Which wounded the boys as they knew they didn’t have long with you.
Gamzee and Kurloz didn’t get any time to explain to you what was going to be happening as the weekend was business with there father getting stuff ready to leave before a three day trip and getting ready for finals. On the day of the plan Gamzee had to wait till his father left for work before he rang Karkat’s phone. As Gamzee busied himself with that you were settled at the TV with Kurloz watching your show because heaven forbid they try to change it on you or don’t let you watch it.
You palmed the carpet under you missing the feel of it. Kurloz seemed to look at you before humming. You looked behind at stare at him as you product the doll he made. You smiled before moving up and onto the couch with him playing a little with the doll. You both looked up when you heard the door open and close. “Karbro welcome!”
You moved standing on the couch to look over the seat part seeing Karkat taking off his coat and trying to get Gamzee off. “Karkat!”
Karkat looked up hearing his name only to see no one. He smiled before shoving Gamzee off. Gamzee straighten himself out as he watched Karkat walk over to the couch. Even though he couldn’t see you he knew you were there. You sat down on the couch as Karkat stared where you generally were. He narrowed her eyes as you giggled he could just hear a little of it. “Hi there brat and Kurloz.”
You waved at him as Kurloz did the gesture for you as well. Karkat moved the doll to the floor which you pouted moving through him to it. Karkat flopped onto your spot as Gamzee sat beside him. “You tell Rose?”
Karkat nodded; “After you phone I rang her up she’ll be over in a bit.” Kurloz nodded in a good, good motion as Gamzee sighed.
They were really going to do this; they were really going to send you off to a better plain. Gamzee had mixed emotions about it he was happy but sad at the same time. Kurloz did try to relief his fears and sorrow as if he felt it as would you. You were the sister Gamzee always wanted to have which his parents could never provide and he wasn’t the only one who felt it.
The three of them sat there for a while talking among themselves and so on to help each other get through this due to the emotional attachment they had with you. It was a while till the door bell rang which had Gamzee looked at Karkat as the door bell rang again. Gamzee got up off the couch as Karkat and Kurloz stood up.
You looked from the spot on the carpet where you move to hid behind Karkat who puts his hands on his hips. You peeked out from behind karkat as Gamzee came back talking to a girl. She almost instantly looked from him to Karkat then to you. She frowned before blinking. “I see... Well hello there.”
She tucked the skirt she had on under her bottom as she knelt down. Gamzee looked at where she was to see nothing before he frowned. Kurloz signaled to him she had seen you. Kurloz hummed before huffing lightly at Karkat who glanced at his one side to where Rose was looking. “It’s kinda rude not to answer her you know as she is one of Gamzee’s and mine friends.”
You huffed glancing down. “Hello...”
Rose smiled; “What’s your name? I’m Rose just like Karkat said and I’ve heard a lot about you.”
You glared at Gamzee who looks down sheepishly as he spoke explaining. “You’re just too fucking cute not too sis.”
You crossed your arms as Rose gave a light chuckle. “I should kick Gamzee and if you heard so much about me you should know my name.”
You challenge the girl as you would if you were alive. Kurloz snickered as did Gamzee as Kurloz moved his hands saying what you said to Rose and his thought. Gamzee nodded; “True that kurbro tiny sis got bite.”
Rose paused before sighing. “Well for all I know you could be a demon acting as a child. I’ve run into those before.”
You pouted before looking away mumbling loud enough for her. “I”m Y/n L/n and I don’t like you one bit.”
Rose’s smile turned to a halfhearted one as she stood up going to get bag. “That’s okay if you don’t.”
Kurloz moved to you as he knelt down presenting the doll he made you as Gamzee followed Rose seeing what she was doing as Karkat watched him before seeing just for a second you kneeling down to pick up the doll. Kurloz seemed to pat your head and brush it even though his hand would go through.
You were knelt too as you didn’t have the power to lift the doll. You both seemed to gesture to to each other as he couldn’t hear you and you couldn’t read sign language. Karkat looked from you and to Gamzee and Rose who had come back in a deep conversation about the two devices Rose had in her hands.
Gamzee looked on at Rose as she set down two devices on the floor that seemed to effect the energy in the room. Kurloz seemed to smile as the room flooded with energy you needed to manifest. Karkat jumped a little as they noticed the doll on the floor get dragged to in front of Rose. You gave her a sad look as she turned to you. “You’re going to send me away now...”
The four teens looked at each other as none of them told you anything so how did you know. Kurloz shook his head as Rose spoke. “No, no. Gamzee, Karkat, and Kurloz don’t want to send you away Y/n. They want to...” Rose paused for the right word. “Reunite you with your parents so you don’t have to be lonely anymore.”
You gave in a little; “Y-you can do that?”
Rose nodded; “Yup I can do that with there help; wouldn’t that be fun?”
You nodded before questioning her; “Can I take the doll Kurloz made me? I love it very much.”
Rose shook her head before commenting. “No I’m afraid not but I’m sure you can hold onto it till you go sound good?”
You nodded lightly as Rose asked you to step back a little as she poured salt around the four of them as she spoke. “Stay within the circle boys not that Y/n is a bad spirit but we have no clue what can come through the plains by accident.”
Even thought Karkat made a face like he didn’t agree he didn't argue as both Gamzee and Kurloz did as they were told. “Alright Y/n and gentleman we are going to start.” Rose smiled a little before offering her hands to the boys. “Take my hands one in each.” Gamzee gripped onto Rose’s hand as did Karkat. “Close your eyes and concentrate on the middle of the room.” Gamzee closed his eyes as did Karkat.
Karkat laughed since he had a bit of medium ability to see you almost right away standing there smiling. Gamzee had to concentrate really hard but in his mind eye he seen a bit of a small picture of the room before him. “Wicked little sis?”
The child nodded before smiling and rocking on it’s heels. She had the prettiest h/c hair and big doe like e/c eyes. Even in death he could still tell she had s/k skin from the arm of your small night clothes. You spoke to him as you came a little over but not close to the salt barrier Rose had set around. “Big brothers! I love you can we play again some time?”
You watched Gamzee’s face turn slightly as you talked it was like he didn’t understand you but Kurloz nodded as Rose spoke next; “She says she loves you and...” Rose paused giving a sad sound. “asks if she can come back to play anyone time.”
Gamzee chuckled as Karkat spoke for him. “Yeah pint-size you come and fucking bug the hell out of him.”
You turned your attention to Karkat before sighing. “I’ll miss you Kitkat... Thank you for helping me.”
Karkat sniffled lightly not needing Rose so much. You turned to Kurloz smiling he already said his goodbyes to you when Rose was setting up the circle. Gamzee waited longer with you but Rose spoke; “It is time... Concentrate the pair of you on a bright light to the next plain.”
As Rose and Kurloz more advanced cases didn’t need help in this compared to Gamzee and Karkat. You looked at them confused before light started to shine from the back of you before two people called out to you. “Y/n!”
You whipped your head seeing a nice big bright portal behind you. A big child like smile plastered your face. “Mommy! Daddy!” You took a step before pausing and setting the doll down on the ground. You pointed at it then to Gamzee before waving and running off into the light with your arm’s up.
The scene that the four teens seen was happy but sad at the same time. They seen a man wrapped you up into a hug and a women kissing your cheeks. Both seemed to mouthed something before bowing at them before walking into the light.
Rose sounded a bit chocked up as she spoke; “Now close the portal slowly dimming the light.” It took a couple of minutes before the four of them closed the portal. When it was closed Rose took her hands away from Karkat’s and Gamzee’s. She huffed lightly before rubbing at the tears in her eyes as if was very emotional for mediums to sent over children spirits.
Kurloz moved to her and patted Rose’s shoulders lightly in a comforting gesture as he smiled. Karkat wipes a stubborn tear away as Gamzee asks suddenly. “Who where those people that came for tiny sis?”
Kurloz looked at Gamzee before moving his hand for the symbol for parent. Karkat looked from Kurloz to Rose who answered Gamzee’s questions. “Her parents t-they have been waiting and looking for her for a long time. They were thankful that we did something like this for her.”
Gamzee frowned as Karkat placed a hand on his arm. “So no more wicked tiny sis?”
Rose shook her head. “No she’s gone to the next plain so no one comes back from there but she was happy to the end Gamzee hold onto that.”
Gamzee nodded though it did little. Kurloz watched from his spot in the circle. Kurloz hummed to catch Gamzee’s attention before he moved his hand signing you’d be back as a guardian for them maybe. Gamzee smiled a little before nodding. Rose left not long after with thanks from the two Makara boys.
Karkat slept the night over he couldn’t head home after that without crying. Even though the house felt calm and relaxed know it felt empty. But as time past it seemed that they got used to the feeling and learned to move on with there lives.
It had been years later when Kurloz was a day away from going to college when he rattled the bell to get Gamzee’s attention to the kitchen. Gamzee who was in the living room chilling and watching TV got up to see what his brother wanted. “What Kurloz? Can't a brother just chill and watch some funnies?”
Kurloz snorted before pointing at where his keys should be before signing. ‘Where did you put my keys?’
Gamzee gave a confused look. “Brother I haven’t touch your keys. Did you put them else where by accident?” Kurloz glared at Gamzee before Gamzee raised his hands in a surrender. “Alright alright I’ll help you look for them.”
As both Gamzee and Kurloz started to look for the keys both hear the TV change channels from Gamzee’s Simpsons to a child’s channel. “Next is Cow and Chicken! Mama had a chicken and mama had a cow-”
Gamzee and Kurloz freeze as they look at each other. It had been years since that had clicked on it was one of Y/n’s favorite shows she would switch the channels to on them till they gave up. Gamzee hesitatingly moved to the living room as did Kurloz to find of course nothing there.
Kurloz frowned before looking at Gamzee before signing at him. Gamzee nodded; “Tiny sis?! Hey can you put back Kurloz’s keys please?”
Kurloz moved from the living room to the kitchen where the keys were back where they were suppose to be. Kurloz rang the bell twice to let Gamzee know. Gamzee popped his head in to see Kurloz holding his keys. Both smiled before Kurloz winked at him having to get to his job to return his clothes.
Gamzee smiled as he walked back to the couch before flopping down on it as he made a mental note to tell Karkat later. “Welcome back, Tiny sis!” Gamzee smiled as he heard from his side a tiny child like giggle. Yup it was good to have the family back together.
