Four ran into the woods, panting slightly.

"How far away is it?"

Pretty close actually, just walk around that tree five times, and pull two branches.

"Any branches?"

Any branches.

Four did as he was told, and fell down a hole, it eventually became a slide leading deep into the ground.

When he did reach the end, he gasped.

The whole place looked like his house, with everything, even Squarey.

All Four could do was gape in amazement.

We wanted it to be perfect for you, a bit too green for our tastes, but we'll manage.

"Y..you did this for me?"

Yeah, you like it?

"It's amazing.."

Good enough for me. Now, do you want to meet us?

Four nodded, wondering who could've possibly been this kind to him.

Reading his thoughts, the voice laughed.

You'll be surprised, now go to that mirror over there.

Four obediently went over to it, watching as the mirror duplicated him and his clone split.

There stood two Twos, both wearing masks and shoes. One of them had a purple mask and shoes, while the other had a blue mask and shoes.

"....What?" Four asked, observing these non-Two looking numbers.

The purple-masked Two leaned on the other one, smirking.

"Four, welcome to our lair."

"And welcome to the family." The blue one continued.

They sounded like the voices, only less whispery.

"And you guys are?"

"The Terrible Twos." They laughed.

Four took a startled step back, this is what they meant by HE was the troublemakers, or more the Troublemakers made him.

"Don't be scared. Me and mi amigo here are still the voices in your head."

"And we still stand by our words, so we're not gonna leave you."

"S-sorry.. I was just.. well.. I didn't.."

"Expect us to be so nice?"

"We only act like that to friends."

Four looked behind him, a great wave of doubt crossing him. He was suddenly not sure of if he wanted to go down this path.

"Do you still wanna join? We'll let you leave if you want." Purple-masked Two questioned.

Four looked to the door, then to the Twos, and nodded.

"I wanna be the villain, I can't go back now."
