Young Ones

The Teenage Years Suck

This chapter goes to @Turtles4dayyyz, @2FacedManiac, and @Anxi3ty1sMyFri3nd, just because their comments make me laugh.

Also, someone DMed me about making fanart and if that's okay. Like, that's amazing, please do, that would make my year! Please just bring it to my attention so I know where to find it, you guys are great!

Virgil woke up and immediately knew something was wrong. He was so much more anxious, and he could feel the sarcasm about to drip from his tongue. He felt lighter, too? Like physically. And, it was early... like 6 am... It was almost like he was a- No way. He can't be a teenager again.

Logan! Lo would know what to do, but he wouldn't be up for hours... Patton, maybe?

Virgil ran downstairs, jumping off the fourth-to-last step like the skinny boi he is. He practically skidded into the kitchen, completely out of breath. 

"Pat! Patton, I'm a fricking teen- Oh, he's not here," Virgil then sighed, "Might as well make breakfast..."

Vee made pancakes and spent the rest of his time pretty much sprayed across the couch, just waiting. Finally, hours later someone walked down the stairs- Roman? Usually, he's not up till noon cause he 'needs beauty sleep', like the dumb princess he is- and there's the teenager coming out.

"What are you doing up?"

"Ah! Oh, Virgil- WHat happened to you? You're like, youthful?"

"I'm a teenager again, Princey."

"How?"

"I don't know, I don't have all the answers, Romeo Want-ague."

"Well, you're certainly as snarky as your old self. Nice nickname by the way, how long have you been working on that one?"

"Shut up!"

"Calm down, let's wake up Papa bear and Gay-llium to come fix you."

"Whatever."

"Whatever!" Mocked Roman.

"Don't we want REM Sleep and Disaster to help with this?"

"I guess."

Once everyone was downstairs and mostly awake (except for Remy, they were down for the count). They started to speculate.

"Maybe he woke up before he finished regressing?"

"No, I don't think so."

"Maybe this is all a dream?"

"I bet someone injected me with a serum and this is some experiment."

Author-Chan held the needle a third of the way filled with a turquoise serum.

"No, this seems quite simply like a regression thing."

Author-Chan sighed, I mean, it was a regression thing, but this needle did seem damn suspicious. Where did they even get this? It was just sort of with their stuff. Who knows?

"Perhaps it isn't a sign that Thomas' anxiety has increased. I mean, Virgil isn't enhanced in this state, as Thomas, of course, didn't have  borderline severe anxiety during his teenage years."

"That was astute, brilliant insight Deceit."

"Thank you, is exactly what I wouldn't say right now."

"That would make sense..."

"We should check on Thomas!"

"Ugh. So, much effort."

"Maybe we don't bring Dan and disgrace-Phil?"

"Wow, feeling the love Romaine Lettuce Down."

"Not your best."

"I'll stay with Virgil."

"Whatever, dad."

"I know you're bitter now, but Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together."

"Pat, did you just quote cavetown? I've never been more proud."

"Aw, thanks, Virgie!"

Part 2 coming soon!
