Ride Like the Wind

Summary:

Two 8th graders by the names of Kris & Catti have had enough of Dess being the clingiest thing ever to Kris and decide to embark on a road trip to the border of Mexico, after hijacking Dess' RV and leaving her to rot back at a gas station... what could go wrong!

Inspired after the hit song Ride like the wind by Christopher Cross

Notes:

First we Kra, then tti... LETS KRATTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Kratti fanfiction, and Dess is still completely insane in her head! Give Kris a break! ;(

Anyway, this fiction is another Novella that will be of similar length to A Little Piece of Heaven... by the way, thank you so much for all the support on that story!
This one is a much more lighthearted one, and I like to think a lot more humorous in the direction it is taking, but don't worry, the deer is still ridiculously crazy in this story. I wanted to make a silly yet also serious story, I hope you enjoy it! As for the headcanon, I personally believe Catti isn't all emotionless, you can get her to be a little bit crazy if you press the right buttons, so if Catti acts a little not so Catti, now you know lol.

Oh yeah, and large shoutout to YBWF Writer Anon for being a large inspiration for me in making these Dess/Kris fanfics and the amazing MolDESSter pun, I'm planning on making 4 different novellas called the "MolDESSter Quology" Kris in many different ways, but Dess always being an insane bastard... This one was also inspired by "Minor Arcana" by ole_feeb, which actually inspired me to someday make a Kratti fic myself... and boy is this an odd take. Enjoy the Chaos!

Chapter 1: Hometown, Massachusetts

Chapter Text

Kris wakes up, they see their window, shining rays fill their room as the warmth is felt on their entire body. They had a really nice sleep, Kris looks in the window, the slight reflection stares back at them, the wonderful feel of a summer's day. Kris smiles back, they tell themselves that they are gonna make today a good da- “Kriscaine! You still sleepin’!?” Kris collapses at the voice of the cheerful energetic deer that is downstairs. They look up and see their brother, already in a full suit and tie, ready to woo the deer with his charisma. “I hope you had a good sleep brother, because by the end of the night tonight, Dess will be sleepin’ in my bed” Asriel said before charismatically walking out the door, making another vain attempt to get with Dess. Kris takes a deep breath in and walks out the door.

 

When Kris made it out the door, they saw Asriel with a large lump on his head, lying on the floor, with Dess and a hard cover book that was on the couch. Dess blinks and then smiles, before leaping at Kris. “Hi Kris!” Dess and Kris tumble to the living room floor, Dess gets up with Kris in a tight hug, since Dess is taller Kris is literally hanging by their feet, they slightly struggle, but know only one person can save them right now. Catti was sleeping on the couch, her eyes jot awake as she saw Dess sway the poor human side to side while probably sniffing their hair. Catti makes a comically large frown, before slowly getting up, and socking Dess in the back of the head. “Out…” Catti said, her voice deadpan. Dess dropped Kris and rubbed the back of her head, she turned around and faced the goth attired goth monster. “Hey! The heck's your problem?” Dess asked Catti. Catti then told Dess, “December… picture Asriel… naked”. Dess made a large blush. “EW, EWEWEWEWEWEW! HUH!?” Dess said from disgust as Catti picked her up… Catti picked up the reindeer and threw her out the front door… literally. A crash could be heard as Dess flew out the door, Catti slammed the door shut and locked it before she could come back inside. The knob jiggled a few times before it sounded like she left. “Gone… better?” Catti asked Kris with a small smile. Kris gave a thumbs up. 

 

Asriel woke up from being knocked out. “Uhhg… Not again…” Asriel sadly went back up to his and Kris’ room. Noelle stood there, her eyes traumatized from whatever just unfolded before her. “... what…” Was all the younger reindeer managed to push out of her mouth. Suddenly, Toriel charged in holding a bowl of hashbrowns . “Breakfast is ready!” the goat mom said. The 3 8th graders entered the dining room and sat down. Everyone but Asgore was served… because Asgore already finished his meal. “I suppose you liked it honey?” Toriel asked, the police officer nodded as he patted his stomach. Asgore took the extra plate of eggs and bacon, alongside some hashbrowns, and got on the table. Asgore opened the vent up before placing the plate inside. “Enjoy December!” Asgore shouted. Some pounding in the vents were heard as Dess made her way over to the eggs, she sat right above them inside the vent. Kris began to feel nervous and opted to their mom that they should eat with Catti on the couch. Toriel thought about it for a second… “Fine, but if I find ONE crumb on that couch, no video games for the week. Kris nodded and both they and Catti sat next to each other. “December… worse than a succubus… more annoying…” Kris nodded as Catti and then had their conversation about various stuff.

 

Catti gets a notification on her phone, it’s about a sequel to “PechaPecha”, Catti’s eyes widened in shock, the horror game was her favorite. PechaPecha was an indie horror game known for its contrasting elements and jumpscares, the fact that now “PechaPecha, Hollow” was coming out this month was a shock. “Fandom checks… necessary” Catti grabs Kris’ arm as she says that and takes off. Noelle, shocked, runs after them. “Wait for me!” Noelle screams out the door. Kris and Catti rush to Catti’s room, filled with occult figures and various other gothic stuff, alongside posters of metal bands and video games. The 2 opened Catti’s computer, and saw the reactions in the fandom. Pechawiki was going crazy about the release of the new game, Catti and Kris read various comments on it. 

 

Darkmansdeath8: HOLY SHIT! THIS IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!

GersonsBigToe: EPICSSSSSSSSs

SoundHuntersOfficiel: This is the hardest I worked on an OST! Can’t wait for the release!

 

Catti stared at the comments, it was real. “Wow… Can’t wait…” Catti said, giving Kris a high five in the process. The exhausted deer barged through Catti’s door. “What h…happened!?” she asked. Kris explained the news of the new game coming out, Noelle got a bit giddy for a moment. “Really!? That’s like, one of my favorite horror games!”. They took a look at the release date, June 30. “Game comes… this month… sweet”. Catti clicks on the notifications, oddly enough someone is asking where she lived. Catti raises an eyebrow, one of her friends wants to know where she’s from.

Catti waits for a reply, all the person replies is with a simple “Cool”... but after a few minutes of just talking in the group chat, Catti got the notification that he responded. 

 

JustDoneToTToT: I live in Mexico City, Mexico, wish I could meet you and @Kriskrossapplesauce2, you 2 seem super cool lol.

 

Catti looked at the message in the Pecha private messaging… she looks at Kris… she gets an idea. “Trip… to Mexico… sound cool?” Kris gave Catti a knuckles in agreement. Noelle looked shocked. “What!? Leave Hometown for Mexico!? That’s way too far, and it sounds a little… risky, doesn’t it?” Noelle said, baffled that Catti would want to take a roadtrip to the country below them. “Sights… finally can get out… of this small town” Catti looked out the window as if she was in an anime, Kris proceeded to do the same. “Addition… break from Dess… you should join” Catti adds, Kris gives a thumbs up. Noelle crosses her arms. “Heck no! I’m not going to Mexico, I’m gonna stay here… where it's safe!” Noelle says with odd pride in her voice. Catti and Kris shrug, “Suit yourself…” Catti said, a smirk on her face. 

 

“Kris… hiking, hitching rides… feels outlaw… addicting” Catti smirks at the idea of traveling to the Mexican border on their own. No parents, no teachers, no authority, just her and Kris, vs the United States of America. Kris and Catti walk out the door only to bump into something steel plated. The 2 groan as they are knocked back on their feet, they look up, a large beast of metal on wheels, the perfect vehicle for camping and getting away, the legendary vehicle we call “The RV”. Dess leaned on the back of it, popping some popping candy in her mouth. “Heard we are goin’ on a roadtrip? Thought I’d help out a little!” Dess said with her usual energy. Kris asked Dess if she just bought it. “Yep! As you guys were speaking, I managed to find this one with same-day shipping!” Catti narrowed her eyes at Dess. “Same-minute shipping… fits much better.” Catti claims.

 

“Well! Hop in Krismas!” Catti goes in first, while Kris enters behind her, Dess smacks Kris’ ass as they walk in. Kris looks behind, seeing a whistling Dess, who definitely has done nothing wrong. Dess waves at Kris with that stupid smile on her face. Kris’ face flushes in worry. The 2 sit at the table within the RV. “Alrighty then everyone! Buckle up! We’re taking off!” The RV speeds away from the Cattenheimer household, gets to the road out of hometown. Catti sees that Kris has a worried look on their face, and Catti smirks once again. “First rest stop… we take this… Know how to drive… father taught me”. Kris blinks before smiling just as evilly as Catti. Kris and Catti look out the window, they see themselves exiting Hometown, probably 15 miles over the speed limit, but leaving otherwise. Catti looks at Kris and punches their shoulder ambitiously. “... We got this…” Catti promised.
