Across The Border {Logicality, Dukeceit, Prinxiety}

~12~

FamILY picnics became a weekly thing from then on.

And Prinxiety finally became a thing, too.

How did that happen, you ask?

Well let's have a little flashback, shall we?

~Flashback~

"Everything the light touches is yours, sun."

"...was that another Lion King reference and a pun?"

"Sure is, kiddo!" Patton giggles, then looks at the young Dark Side with a loving expression, "But I'm also saying that us in the Light Side of the border-"

"Another pun."

"-are your family now, too."

Anxiety flashes the fatherly figure a smile, "I know, Dad. You've made that very clear when you adopted me in the first 15 seconds of meeting me."

"Oh hush. At least now you have parents!"

"What about Roman?"

"He's your boyfriend."

"Uh, no he's not."

"Then I guess I'll have to make it official, then." Roman speaks up as he joins the moral and anxious Side and proceeds to say the speech he had practiced with Patton the day before, "Anxiety, like Padre said, everything the light touches is yours. I am a Light Side, therefore, I am yours. So, will you do me the honor of becoming my boyfriend, so you can be mine, as well?"

"...You're serious?"

"Yes."

"No take backs?"

"Not even returns."

"Then..." Anxiety quickly pulls the Prince forward so they met at the center of the border as their lips briefly touch in a chaste kiss.

"Yes!"

~End of Flashback~

So yeah, all ships are sailing now. Toot toot.

But now they had another problem.

"GUUUUUYSSSS!" Roman hollers.

"YAH LOUD NOISES!" The moral Side joins in.

"I am DEAFinitely going to lose my hearing soon." Anxiety states, making Patton squeal at his pun.

"Alright, that's enough screaming." Logan shoots a pointed look at Remus, who was about ready to make horrific whale noises, "Roman, what is it?"

"Thomas is running out of content for his YouTube channel!"

"Well, weren't you in charge of thinking up new content for him?" The logical Side reminds.

"I mean yeah, but obviously I got distracted, didn't I?" Princey gestures to Anxiety, then to all of them together on the bridge.

"I have a suggestion." Janus suddenly speaks up. When all eyes turn to him, he continues, "Imagine this: a video where Thomas learns about himself and his different personality facets, namely; Logic, Creativity, and Morality."

"Janus... That's brilliant!" Roman praises, his eyes filling with excitement, "That would actually make a really good series! Oh my gosh peck, I can see it happening!"

Patton gasps, "It can be called the Sanders Sides!"

"And the content shall focus on Thomas finding solutions to his everyday problems by having internal debates with himself." Logan jumps on the brainstorming train.

"Ooh, we should have Anxiety, Janus, and Remus join in, too!"

"Of course! But we'll have them appear in later episodes to thicken the plot. If the series does become successful– which I have no doubt it will –we can have Joan help Thomas with scripts and storylines."

~3 years later~

Roman wasn't wrong.

The fans practically fell in love with the series!

At first, it was weird seeing their idol talk to himself, but as the series progressed with Thomas working alongside his friends, the Fanders had created a whole new fan base that was solely for the series itself.

The characters Thomas portrays in the series are almost similar to how the Sides actually act, excluding little details like the fact they were all dating one another.

But of course, that didn't stop the Fanders from shipping them.

Prinxiety became quite a popular ship in the community.

When Vine died, Thomas continued making short silly videos on Instagram. His YouTube channel now becoming his main medium for sharing content. And as his fan base grew, Thomas himself did, too.

His views and beliefs changed in a way that made him understand that nothing can truly be purely bad, nor purely good.

And on that day of realization, something unexpected happened.

The border.

The very border that almost cost a Side's life to fade away- Dissappeared.

And the realms were no longer separated, just like the brothers who were once kept apart, but now were together side-by-side with their little famILY.

They even created a castle in the Imagination where they all could reside in, naming it The Mind Palace, where every Side is welcome, no matter what they represent.

May they be Light or Dark, Good or Bad–

In the mind of Thomas Sanders now, Sides did not need to be separated into their primary categories anymore.

They are Sides of Thomas, that is that.

No Side had to risk their lives to be with their loved ones, because there was nothing that could ever come between them anymore.

No danger to fear.

No border to cross.

"I'm glad to be by your side again, brother."

"I'm just as glad as you are, brother."

The End.
