(I have decided to use my normal drawing style as I have finally gotten how I actually want my drawings to look digitally. I am very proud of the pic above.)

Deceit stops the car and we all hop out, I smile widely at the sight of the huge shopping center. Remus looks over to me and snickers at how excited I am "Dee, look!" he whispers loudly "she's happy!" Remus cheered quietly "Hey, let's go inside before things start closing" Virgil smirks and walks past us. I follow behind him, Deceit and Remus following close behind me. I hear a few whispers from Deceit and Remus but think nothing of it as they're weird.

Deceit walked up next to me and took my hand into his, I raised a brow at him and realized he was sweating. I decided to tease him by putting my head on his shoulder, his face grew bright red and he turned back to look at Remus who just shrugged while giggling. Virgil turned back to us and covered his mouth as to stop himself from laughing, I glared at him and he turned back around with a smile.

We both walked to the side path, seeing a bunch of quirky little characters who all looked like Thomas- Other sides? I have no idea "Are they all other sides?" I ask clueless "Not all of them, no. Some are from memories. Some are from dreams- And other's are made to fill the void." Deceit explains to me,I nod my head.

"Y/n?" I froze in my place, I'm guessing the other's didn't hear it. "Why'd you stop?" Virgil asked and I started to shake slightly "Someone just said my name." I whispered, Deceit bought me into a little side hug "Don't think much of it, we're all part's of Thomas's brain and he's known you since forever. It was probably one of his memories." Deceit comforted me. "can we check?" I asked inaudibly "Of course!" Remus smiled like a dork.

Remus jumped off the sidewalk and looked to see if anyone would be calling out my name "No one looks like they'd know you.." Remus searches with his hand "Y/n!" I turn around this time. "What are you doing here?" I looked to the ground and saw a child-like version of Thomas, I didn't know what to say. "She's with us now." Deceit replied for me. Child Thomas frowned "He's missing you out there, you know, that's why I'm here.. He's recounting all his past memories to see where you'd go." He sighs and walks away.

"I feel bad-" Virgil puts a hand on my shoulder "don't be. Child Thomas is and will always be the most emotional version of himself. He'll get over it." I shake my head "But- The real Thomas misses me?" I say "He's most likely exaggerating but- In the event that he's telling the truth.. We must stay low" Deceit told us "So- disguises?" Remus smirked, all of us agreed silently. 

Deceit split up with me, Remus and Virgil both went their own way. "Where are we off to?" I asked "A clothing store so that we can hide away what you look like!" Deceit panted as he ran along side with me, hand in hand, fingers intertwined. "Don't be so worried. You'll only have to wear the disguise out of the house." I smiled "okay" He smiled back.

Deceit stopped running and pushed me into a corner, my back fell against the wall and I slid down. "Well, well, well. Nice to see you back here, are you planning to disguise yourself as one of us again? We know your tricks!" It was Roman. "I wouldn't think of it, Princey." Deceit answered "I vowed to take care of the sides, I won't let you fool us." Roman growled "Oh? But I'm not doing anything." Deceit side eyed Roman.

"Don't think of me as a common fool! You're always up to something!" Deceit frowns "Well, what are you going to do?" he asks in a cocky tone "I'll- Make you give us back Virgil!" Roman was fuming "But what if he doesn't wanna go back?" Deceit asked him "Why wouldn't he wanna go back?" Roman scoffed "Why would he? You guys kicked him out, did you not? You treated him so so badly, you can't lie to me! You wanted him gone, didn't you?!" Deceit screamed "I-I- No! Of course not! He was our friend! Yes, he might of been a bad person but-" Roman stammered.

"That's where you're wrong. Perception is deception. Your head twists everything around once you get the first glimpse, if it's abnormal to your standards then it is bad." Deceit informed "Stop trying to fill my head with information! Give me back Virgil!" Roman cried out "No" Deceit stated "I- what? What do you mean 'no' ?" Roman asked angrily "If he want's to go back then he'll go back. Just wait for him to come to you's." Deceit spat at Roman.

"Well then- Give me back Y/n!" Roman shouted. Deceit's face contorted to one of another world, unsure of what he was truly expressing, it looked to be a mix of sadness, betrayal, grief, and anger all in one. "What makes you think we have her?" Deceit asks "We left her in the room with Remus! She must be here if she isn't at home!" Roman argued "Well, I'm not Remus." Deceit crossed his arms and turned away from Roman.

"Don't face your back to me!" Roman exclaimed "Please. Leave me and my family alone." Deceit squinted, getting angrier by the minute. "Give them back, they're ours!" Roman cried "They aren't objects to be owned! They have their own lives and own opinions!" Deceit fought back "I get that but we miss them! We love them!" Deceit turned back around and scratched Roman angrily, leaving a cat scratch across his face. "Ah! Why did you do that?!" Roman groans "because! If you loved them why would you hurt them?" Deceit ran off, forgetting I was sitting here the whole time.

"Absolute prick." Roman muttered under his breath as he walked away with his head in his hand. Once sure that Roman couldn't see me, I jumped out and went searching for Deceit. I walked along the path and went around a corner, getting pulled into another corner yet again by Remus. "Why are you cornered?" I whispered to him "Logan's here!" He whisper shouted back to me "What, him too? Roman's here as well! Have you seen Virgil or Deceit?" I asked.
