Shoutout to F.R (On Quotev) for giving me a good idea that I shall put to use! Warnings: swearing, the thought of death, guilt tripping

*Flashback to last Chapter*

-I just want to be friends again. With everyone. I just wanted a   f a m i l y.

     "Keeper?"

*The Present*

     "What...? You found a reason to argue with me too Deceit...? Remus...?" I ask. "Pfft. No! We wanted to help you!" Remus shouts loudly. "What...?" I ask. "Well what do you want?" Deceit asks me. "I... want..." I pause. Thinking, "a family..." I finish. "Well then a family..." Remus starts, "we give you." They say in unison. Holding their hands out to me. Without hesitation, I take both of their hands.

     "So, you can relax for our plan. You remember how the one angry man decided to duck out?" Deceit asks. "Quack." "Yes." I answer. "Good, that's basically what you're doing, but not actually." Deceit says. "You just fake it." Remus adds. "Precisely." Deceit says. "Oi. You sound like the nerd." I say. He chuckles. "Anyways, you won't be doing this for more than a day." Deceit says. "Mmkay." I say.

~Thomas's Point of View~

     Keeper never came down for breakfast. It was concerning. But since everyone seemed like they were mad or didn't want to bother them, that I wouldn't either. "Ugh. My head hurts." I hear a complaint. Not sure from who, but someone. "Yeah same here." Another says. "Why is that kiddos?" Patton. I can tell. "I don't Padre, but, maybe it's my bro?" Roman says. "But not everyone's head is hurting." Logan says. "Logan he doesn't get to you. Here let's ask Thomas. Thomas are you okay?" Patton asks. "No- I mean. I'm fine." I say. Oops. That one slipped. "Ummmmm. Remus!" Roman shouts.

     "Yessssss?" Remus says appearing. "Explain." Logan says. "Explain what? I did nothin' just hangin' with my friendos!" Remus says suspiciously. "Friendos?" Virgil and Logan say at the same time. Emphasizing the 's'. "Yes. Do you know all of the 'dark' sides? Bitch! Didn't think so!" He says sassily. "Do I have remind you of wha-" "No and why would you have to?" Virgil interrupts. "Why not?" Remus says. "Okay, just stop... and go away..." I say tired. "Fine, but I'll be back!" He says, sinking out. We all were confused. "We have to figure this out." We're all in the living room at this point. "So. Why is he being so, just, 'okay, that's fine, later bruh.'" Roman says. "They're up to something." Virgil says. "'They're' as in?" Logan asks. "The others, Remus for sure. Deceit I don't know. Keeper is not here so yeah, not suspicious at all." Virgil says. "You're ju- nope nevermind." Patton says. "Patton?" Roman starts. "You okay?" He asks. "N-yes!" He says.

*Timeskip to the point where they kinda know Keeper ducked out*

     "So this is Keeper's room?" I ask. "Shhhhhhhhhh..." we hear and see Virgil collapsing to the ground. "JEE MUH NETTIE!" Roman shouts. "Out." Keeper says. "What?! No!" I shout. "Shhhhhhhhhh..." then it was Logan. "OKAY!!!" Thomas shouts and starts sinking out. Roman grabs Virgil. Patton grabs Logan and they both sink out.

     Roman and Patton carry the others to their rooms. A chuckle was then heard. "I can see that Keeper is no longer here." Deceit says appearing out of nowhere. "You're not gonna... disguise?" Roman asks. "HAHA! Of course not!" Deceit laughs. "Disguising myself as one of you just doesn't gain your trust! So, why do it?" He asks. "I want to be friends, but that's hard to do when you don't trust me. Ya know?" "Egh. DECEIT!" Logan shouts. "That fast? You're awake?" I ask. "Yes. But uh..." Logan gesture towards Deceit, "why is he here?" Logan asks. Deceit sinks out slowly.

~Deceit's Point Of View~

     That worked out well. "Great. Plan foiled by the fucking nerd." Keeper says angrily. "It's fiiiiiiiine!" Remus says. "Is it?" Keeper asks. "What's even the point of this?" Keeper asks me. "To make them feel bad." I say. Keeper's expression changes. "Well, there might be a better way!" Remus exclaims loudly. "You have an idea?" I ask. "Yuppers! Just make them think of Keeper dying." Remus suggests. "We'll get their reactions then. That'll make 'em feel TERRIBLE!" Remus can be smart I guess. "Good idea, try and not make us think it though. I'd rather not think of me being dead." Keeper says. "Ditto." "OKAY!" Remus giving the others intrusive thoughts.

~No One's Point Of View~

     Roman, Patton, Virgil, and Thomas all hold their heads in pain. "Ugh. I just woke up..." Virgil complains. Maniacal laughter is heard. "Bro?! What the heck?!" Roman cries out. "AHH NONONONO!!!" Patton shouts. "What?" Remus asks. "Don't make us think about any dead people, especially our friend!" Patton shouts. "What, all I'm doing is playing on my phone." Remus says. Chuckling is then heard. "NOPE ONE IS ENOUGH!" Thomas shouts. Deceit appears anyway. "We can get a certain someone who you imagined to be-" Deceit abruptly stop looking towards Remus. Again they hold their heads. "We can get them out of their room." Deceit says. "How can we believe someone who goes by 'Deceit'!?" Virgil exclaims. "Wow Virgil. I'm hurt. How can one that went by 'Anxiety' not always be anxious. Wait. I guess we can't." Deceit says. "Just. Tell us what you want." Thomas says.

     "What we want? Nononono! What do you want?" Remus says. "Uh we wh- what?" Thomas stammers. "What do you want?" Remus asks again. "I want... Keeper to come out of their room..." Thomas says. "On it." Deceit says. "Wait!" Logan shouts. "Yes?" Deceit asks. "They're just going to make you pass out. Like they did to me and Virgil." Logan states. "Welp, if they do then Remus, will take me back." Remus and Deceit sink down.

~Keeper's Point Of View~

     Deceit and Remus pop up finally. "Shhhhhhhhhh..." I say making Deceit passed out. "Alright." I say. "Just sayin' everyone is gonna ship y'all when they see you holdin' him." I say as a joke. "Pffft. You're kidding." Remus says. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Technically I don't know but. Meh. I know I would." I smirk. All he does is stare as he sinks out with Deceit. "Heh. I hope this works."

~Virgil's Point Of View~

     This is all really fishy. I don't know what they're planning, but it's something. "Yea, you were right." Remus says rising up, holding a passed out Deceit. He goes to the couch quickly to set Deceit down. "So, any ideas?" Roman asks. "Guilt trip?" Remus suggests. "Maybe?" Patton says questioningly. "Anything to get them back... I miss them..." I admit. Sure, I don't like the idea of working with Deceit and Remus but, I want Keeper back. "We all do." Deceit says. "SSSSSSS!" Thomas shouts jumping from Deceit's sudden words. "Sorry Thomas, didn't mean to scare ya." Deceit says. "It's true, we all very much miss Keeper." Romans says. "Yeah..." Logan and Patton say in unison. "Okay! Bye!" Remus says sinking out. "Wait wha?" Roman says. "Yea, Remus was recording the whole time to see how much you cared. Now bye." Deceit says also sinking out. "SHOOT I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG!"

~Deceit's Point Of View~

     We're all in my room instead of Keeper's. So they don't go to Keeper's room to find us. Plus, it's hard to get to my room. We show Keeper the recording. "I'm just playing on my phone. Wow. Good job, how did they fall for that?!" Keeper says laughing. "I don't even know." Remus says we all start laughing. "Well we did it! Mission successful!" Keeper exclaims happily. We hang out the rest of the day. Boy, how happy I was to be hanging out with Keeper.

Woo! I did it. This chapter kinda sucks in my opinion, but. Oh well! I'm uploading it anyways!
