Virgils eye's snapped open, his mind filled with the lyrics of a "Relient K" song raking through his head. Sitting up, he slid off his headphones, mind fuzzy and heart beating quickly. His gaze began to blur and he squeezed his eyes shut momentarily, putting a hand to the side of his head whilst trying to massage the panic inducing dream from his memories; but with no avail.
"That- that poor kid..." Virgil mumbled with a groan. He knew all too well how it felt to be embarrassed or frozen in horror as everything seeped from sight, plummeting yourself into an endless amount of darkness and fear.
"Thomas would have stage fright if it wasn't for Roman.." Virgil's brow furrowed and he paused, hesitating his thoughts for a few seconds before shaking his head.
"It was just a stupid dream-" He muttered, standing up and stretching. Glancing to the clock on the wall, Virgil almost choked on his surprise as he realized the time.
"I slept that long?!" He exclaimed to himself before quickly rushing to his door, pushing past his discomfort and exiting, finding himself on the top landing of the stairs.
"Do you realize what time it is?" He asked as he barged into the bedroom, interrupting both Roman and Thomas who seemed to had continued their line practice.
"Yes..?" Roman asked, clearly annoyed by the sudden intrusion.
Thomas turned and looked at his digital clock his face dropping a little.
"Oh- Maybe I should get ready to leave then?" He speculated, standing.
"No, no! We're fine! I already spoke to Logan! We don't have to leave for another 30 minutes, you're fine! There's no need to worry!" Roman insisted.
"But it'd be better if we got there early, what if there's bad traffic?" Virgil pointed out.
"There won't be bad traffic." Roman argued.
"You don't know that." Virgil replied, lifting an eyebrow and looking to Thomas.
"Virgils right- I-I should get ready." Thomas said, glancing to Roman as he traveled to his dresser to grab a folded jacket.
"If there's bad traffic, I don't want to risk being late- I'll be fine, we practiced enough, it's just a rehearsal anyway..." He trailed.
Roman looked to Virgil with annoyance.
"Don't let Judge Claude Frollo over here, cloud your judgement, you'll be completely on time! It wouldn't hurt to practice your lines for a little bit longer!" (Hunchback of Notre Dame reference.)
"I'm the judge, 'oh no!'" Virgil scoffed sarcastically.
"Excuse me- we heard arguing?"
Virgil looked up to see Logan and Patton standing in the doorway, Patton grinning but with a worried gaze, and Logan looking slightly annoyed but as close to concerned as he could be.
"Everything's fine-" Roman said through his teeth.
"Now son, its never good to suppress your feelings." Patton insisted walking in.
"Guys- This really isn't a good time to have a sit down-" Thomas said from where he stood, and Virgil nodded in agreement.
"We need to get going." He said, starting to feel as if they were never going to leave, whether it be early, or late.
"Can we take an interim?" Logan cut in.
"Explain yourselves, what is going on?"
Roman crossed his ams and huffed, glaring at Virgil.
"Thomas O'worry-" He jutted a thumb at Virgil who hissed in reply.
"-wants to leave earlier than planned because we might be 'late,' but I want to stay here and practice lines a little longer." Roman explained.
"And I say we should leave sooner than planned because traffic could be bad! Thomas has practiced enough." Virgil added, scowling.
"Calm down you two, maybe we can solve this a better way than arguing?" Patton suggested.
"I agree with Patton. Lets avoid as much emotion as possible." Logan expressed.
"I don't think thats a good idea-" Thomas said, concerned.
"That's ridiculous, there is never a good time for- feelings." Logan replied.
"We're delving away from the topic..." Roman whined, rolling his eyes.
"Roman, calm down." Thomas finally spoke up stepping up.
"I appreciate the worry from both ends, and theres no need to argue," he started, glancing around and catching Virgils eye.
"Roman," He turned to his right.
"I've practiced my lines enough today, and I'm about to go to a rehearsal where I'll practice them even more, thats what rehearsals are for, right?"
The creative side scuffed the ground with his foot.
"Yeah.."
Thomas then turned to Virgil.
"And I acknowledge your rational worrying Virgil, and I agree with you, but we don't have to leave exactly at this moment."
Virgil looked away.
"I guess.." He muttered.
"Problem solved!" Logan clasped his hands together.
"Can we go now?" Virgil asked impatiently.
Thomas sighed.
"Sure,"
