Accepting Anxiety Part 2 Alternative

Accepting Anxiety Part Two... My Way

I decided to attach part one above just cause.

~~~

Thomas: *pops up into Anxiety's room* Whoa... I knew I should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

Logic: Uh, no. This is where we needed to go.

Thomas: I know. It was just uh... a joke.

*intro happens*

Anxiety: *looks at all of them, is confused and a bit annoyed* What are all of you guys doing here?

Morality: ANXIETY!

Thomas: Oh look... it's Anxiety... in Anxiety's room... Heh heh.

Anxiety: What the heck is wrong with him?

Prince: As if you don't know.

Anxiety: And what's that supposed to mean?

Logic: Thomas's off demeanor seems to be caused by a lack of anxiety, shame, or fear. He's completely fearless.

Thomas: I'm fearless!

Logic: Please fix it, Anxiety. I can't stand it any longer.

Anxiety: Wait, so... I caused this?

Prince: Yes.

Anxiety: *glares at Prince, then looks at Thomas* I didn't think my absence would have that much of an effect on him...

Morality: Anxiety, exactly why did you leave?

Anxiety: It's obvious, isn't it?

Morality: No... No it's not.

Anxiety: No one wanted me there. I was an antagonist. All I did was give Thomas anxiety.

Logic: Well, that's clearly not the case. Your absence has affected Thomas severely. And haven't we talked about jumping to conclusions?

Anxiety: You think I'm just jumping to conclusions? Ask Prince.

*everyone looks at Prince*

Prince: Well... Uh...

Anxiety: My point stands.

Prince: Anxiety, c'mon, don't be so hard on yourself.

Anxiety: Don't bother, Prince. You probably didn't even want to come here in the first place. You probably thought it was good that I was gone.

Prince: Just because you get in the way of my dream-chasing and just offer negative input all the time... It doesn't mean I don't like you as a person.

Anxiety: Good one, Prince. It almost sounded genuine.

Morality: Be nice...

Anxiety: You're telling ME to be nice? I should've known you would take Prince's side.

Morality: Well, that's hardly fair!

Logic: Anxiety, please. Thomas needs all four aspects of his personality, and if he loses one of them, his overall demeanor suffers. Thomas is completely without fear, but it also means he's without structure, shame, natural reflexes, and a sense of a boundary. He could decide to do something dangerous and nothing would stop him, because he has no fear.

Anxiety: So you came running to me to fix Thomas. Ironic. When I was actually doing my job, I thought you guys wanted me to not do my job. For Thomas's sake. And now you're telling me to do my job... For Thomas's sake.

Logic: If we ever made it seem like we didn't want you to do your job, I'm sorry. That was a mistake.

Morality: We didn't want you to disappear! You're one of us, kiddo! We'd miss you!
