How they got here didn't make sense. Logic wasn't trying to do anything like this at all, but having recently read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the 5th time had gotten his mind abuzz. "Maybe I can do something similar, just done in a much better and safer way," he thought, already planning what he would need and who could possibly be a test subject.

"Morality, would you perhaps be willing to help me in one of my experiments?" Logan asked about 3 months later, all the preparations had been made except for the minor details that had to be tailored for the specimen. 

"Sure what do I need to do?" Morality asked, always one to help someone out. 

"You would be divided into your two core parts," Logan explained looking at Morality's face as trying to gage his reaction. 

"But aren't we already parts of a whole, wouldn't splitting us up more cause harm to Thomas?" Morality asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.

"Not necessarily, he will still all his traits just spread out a bit more," Logan said even though he wasn't exactly sure, but he didn't want to worry Morality.

"Oh ok, that makes sense, when do I need to do it?" Morality asked wanting to be prepared for it.

"Hopefully in 2 days," Logan responded as he left the room to do his final calculations. 

Two days later Logan was done with his formula and had made the compound that Morality would drink, that would hopefully split him into 2 main parts of himself. The compound should wear off an hour after digesting, but just in case Logan had already started on an antidote of sorts that would restore Morality to his full state. 

"Morality, I'm done," He called upstair as he put the finishing touches on it.

Morality ran downstairs even though he was nervous to see what would happen. "So all I have to do is drink this?" Morality asked when he got to where Logan was. Logan nodded as he handed Morality the compound. 

Morality swallowed nervously before raising the compound to his lips and downing it in one go. He gently put the container down, clutched his stomach and ran to the nearby bathroom to presumably vomit. 

Logan grabbed the notebook he was using to gather data and ran after him, but when he got there it was too late, Morality had already transformed. He didn't look any different at first glance, but if you looked closer you would realize that his smile was gone and his eyes seemed a bit colder and harsher, not at all like his usual warm and friendly ones.

"Morality are you ok?" Logan asked as he slowly stepped closer to Morality.

"Of course why wouldn't I be?" Morality asked, but his voice didn't sound right, it lacked it's usual abundance of feelings and instead sound bored and annoyed. 

"You just don't seem to be you," Logan said still not sure if Morality was actually ok.

"Logan if you're looking for emotional support because of some idiotic dream you've had I can't offer," Morality said coldly finally turning around to face Logan. 

"You're not you," they both said at the same time I look of shock on each of their faces.

"What happened?" Morality asked quickly covering up his surprise with a calm indifference.

"It would seem my compound didn't have it's intended effect. I have to go check my numbers," Logan answered before turning out of the room and going to his lab and more importantly the papers which contained his work.

"Well, what is it?" Morality asked with mild impatience creeping into his voice, he was annoyed, he just wanted to go back home.

"It appears I put the decimal point in the wrong place, causing you to switch dimensions, but luckily it should still wear off," Logan replied as he mental beat himself up for such a stupid mistake, but not letting his inner turmoil show.

"Good, I can't wait to go back home," Morality said, relief coursing through him as the fear of being stuck here diminished. 

"Same, I want to make sure my Morality is alright," Logan replied, worried for the Morality he had known for so long, the Morality that he had endangered. 

"So what are you guys like over here?" Morality asked after a few moments of silence.

"Well, Anxiety tries to hide his emotions behind a facade of not caring and sarcasm as his own thoughts make him hate himself. Prince is loud, energetic and loyal to a fault, he's also a perfectionist which can cause some problems when he believes he's failed someone, usually Anxiety.  My Morality is very emotional and kind. He always makes the worse dad jokes, but he's always willing to help you out," Logan said, he took a breath and stopped not knowing what else to say.

"And you?" Morality asked.

"I'm cold, I hide my emotions because I don't understand and honestly I'm afraid to," Logan confided, mostly because he knew this version of Morality would be gone soon. "What about you guys?" he asked.

"Your Anxiety is like our Prince. Our Anxiety is like your Prince. Our Logic is like your Morality and I'm like you," he said in a matter of fact way, not really caring to give out the details of the others.

A long silence after that and then "Hmm, you should be gone soon,"

"Yeah, I should I can feel it," Morality agreed.

"I hope my Morality is ok," Logan said like saying it out loud might make his hope com true.

"I hope my Logan is ok," Morality said, showing emotion for the first time since he got there.

Morality rushed to the bathroom again, but this time Logan didn't follow. He was afraid of what might happen.

A few moments. The sound of footsteps and then, "Lo-Lo you wouldn't believe the adventure I had,"
