Sanders Sides One Shots

Filming Alone

"Okay so this is the first Sides I've made by myself because Joan is gone but... let's go, let's do this!" Thomas smiles at the camera and claps twice before walking away from the camera to look at his script.

He and Joan had worked on the script for days, perfecting it and adding in the last minute changes then because they both knew that the changes they usually made during filming wouldn't happen because Joan was out of town and Thomas would have to film by himself.

Thomas reads over his next line as he hums the intro music to his videos. He puts the script down just as he receives a text message.

Have you starting filming yet? Joan asks. Thomas laughs and responds that Yes, I just started.

Joan answers immediately, Good luck. Let me know if you need some help.

Thomas responds back to them that he would and put his phone on vibrate. Standing up, Thomas finds himself in another coughing fit. He hoped he wasn't getting sick, but if he was, he hoped he would be able to film the video before he did.

Clearing his throat, Thomas films his introduction to the topic of the video before summoning Princey. "Roman!"

"At your service!" He flaunts a smile at the camera right before Thomas starts to cough again. "Uh, you okay, buddy?"

Thomas clears his throat once more before responding with "Yeah." The two of them were discussing a positive perspective to the topic when Anxiety shows up on cue to negate everything they just said with concerns.

"Ah, Virgil!" Princey bites his lip to hold back an insult. "So glad you want to contribute..."

Morality pops up as well. "Roman, let him have a turn. We all share here."

Then Logic pops up. Thomas tries to hold back another cough as he vaguely hears the intellectual answer that Logic was no doubt giving. When he couldn't hold it any longer, he interrupted the argument between his logical and fanciful aspects by once again nearly hacking out his lungs.

"Are you alright, Thomas?" His logical side questioned, fully aware that his coughs were not scripted nor were they fake.

"Yeah, you don't seem like you're feeling well." Princey once again looks concerned, influencing the others to worry as well.

Thomas shakes his head and tries to speak but nothing comes out at first. He clears his throat and tries again. "I might be coming down with something. It should be fine."

"Thomas," Anxiety perks up with a very concerned tone of voice. "If you don't feel well, you should really try and rest."

"Yeah," Princey agrees with a smirk. "You don't want to make yourself sicker."

Thomas raises an eyebrow. "That was nice of you, Virgil... almost, overly nice of you."

"And that was very pessimistic of you, Roman," Logic eyes the fanciful side whom nods and apologizes.

"... but we really need to film this video. I promised the Fanders I would have a new Sanders Sides video out by the end of this week." Thomas walks over to the fridge as he talks and pours himself a cup of water.

Morality follows him. "But it is only Tuesday, and it shouldn't take that long to edit once Joan comes back from vacation on Thursday. You can afford some rest, right Logan?"

"Right!" Logic exclaims. "You can have plenty of time to finish filming and still have time to edit after."

Thomas looks at the two of them strangely after being given an intelligent answer by the more loving of the group and an overly positive answer from the normally intellectual one, but he drops it as he starts to cough again.
