When Roman and Anxiety meet up in the Imagination the next day, they each had hopeful looks on their faces as they approach one another on the bridge.

"Greetings, Storm Cloud."

"Hiya, Princey." Anxiety greets back with a two fingered salute.

Roman was the first to break out the news, "Don't freak out... But Logan and Patton have confronted me about our meetings and have actually spied on us once."

The anxious trait, instead of freaking out like Roman thought he would, surprised him by throwing his head back and letting out a hearty laugh.

"So those disaster gays really did spy on us that one time? Aw man, wait until I tell Jay and Remus." Anxiety said as he calmed down from his laughter.

"Wait, you knew?"

The anxious Side smirks and crosses his arms to his chest, "Let's just say they weren't the best at spying nor keeping things subtle."

~flashback~

Roman was yet again rambling on about something he had taken interest to from the internet, and the only thing Anxiety could do was nod along to make sure the prince knew he was listening (which he barely was, but hey! At least he gets to admire the creative trait's pretty face).

The young Dark Side had his focus fully on Roman, when suddenly he notices a commotion behind him. Casually averting his gaze, he spots two figures in the distance hiding (very poorly) behind a bush. They both wore glasses, the only difference is that the left one was wearing a black polo and a tie, while the one on the right was clad in a blue polo with a grey cardigan wrapped around his shoulders.

From his peripheral vision, he was able to witness the two argue about something, before aggressively making out, which resulted in them falling out of the bush.

Anxiety had to stifle a laugh at their clumsy attempt to rush back behind the bush, the cardigan wearing one accidentally tripping on his own feet in his haste, which lead to him once again falling, bringing the other with him as they come crashing down on the low densely branched shrub.

~End of flashback~

"Alright... So, you're okay with them knowing about us- er... us meeting?" calm down, Roman. You and Anxiety aren't dating... Yet.

"Yeah, it's chill." Anxiety shrugs, "Janus and your brother actually confronted me about it, too."

"Oh?"

"Mhmm."

Princey grins widely, "So, would it be alright if I brought the two glasses gays tomorrow? I'm sure they'd love to meet you officially. And you can have my bro and snake face tag along with you."

Anxiety thinks about it for moment, before nodding, "Sure. I'll have to check in with Janus if he's up for a little outing. Already know Remus wouldn't pass up an opportunity to see you again."

"We should have a picnic!" Roman exclaims excitedly, "Patton is the best cook and baker in the whole Thomasphere! He'll happily whip us up some snacks for tomorrow."

"You think he'll like me?" The young Dark Side suddenly asks, expressing his concern, "I'm not the best at first impressions, much less meeting new people."

"Oh, you need not to worry, Anxiety. Patton is the friendliest puffball of a Side you'll ever meet! Heck, I bet you 5 dollars he'll adopt you on the spot." Roman wasn't joking, he had no doubt the fatherly figure would do just that tomorrow.

Anxiety chuckles, "Tomorrow will certainly be eventful then."
