Chapter 5

"Roman!" yelled Virgil and jumped to the front window when they started to slow down. "Never. Do. That. Again!"

"Alright, alright" laughed Roman and jumped down from the rider's seat. "But atleast we're here"

Roman went to the cart door and opened it revealing an glaring Virgil.

"You're lucky that I'm in one piece or you would be dead" said Virgil and stood up.

"Yeah, yeah" said Roman rolling his eyes, but smiled.

Virgil stepped out and gave him a playful glare and slapped him on the arm.

"How could you?" asked Roman dramatically. "I'm wounded"

"Yeah, yeah" said Virgil mimicking Roman's previous respons.

"Hey!" yelled Roman and tried to jump at him.

But Virgil being the fight-or-flight reflex was able to jump to the side making Roman yelp as he started to fall down towards the ground.

Just as Roman was about to make contact with the ground he was stopped by Virgil who had a grip on his arm holdinghim up.

"Jeez" said Virgil and pulled him up. "Think before you act could you?"

"How were you so quick?!" asked Roman stunned.

Virgil just gave a side look basically asking if he was dumb not to know the answer.

"Oh, right!" said Roman remembering. "You're the fight-or-flight reflex..."

"About time" joked Virgil.

"Leave me be" said Roman and gently hit him on the arm. "I've been busy-"

"With Disney films and songs" ended Virgil for him getting a side glare from Roman.

"Well, that also-" admitted Roman. "But I have, really, been busy with the aspect of being Creativity"

"Yeah" nodded Virgil and then turned to the giant closed gate infront of them. "But know we're going inside here and away from all that for a while"

Roman gave out a slightly suprised expression as he didn't fully expect Virgil to say that, but it filled him with hope and joy.

"Then let's get in!" cheered Roman.

He snapped his fingures and the gate started to slowly open.

***************************

"Virgil?" called Thomas out and then waited, but got no respons. "Virgil?!"

Thomas started to get confused.

"Why isn't he appearing?" he asked out loud. "Virgil!"

After trying to call out again he started to grow worried.

"Did something happen?" he asked out loud worried. "Why isn't he answering?!"

Thomas started to panic and continued to try to call Virgil out, but there were still no respons.

Patton then suddenly appeared in his place.

"Hey, kidd-" he started, but then saw Thomas panicking. "Kiddo! What's wrong?!"

"W-Where's Virgil?" asked Thomas. "Why isn't he answering?!"

"Kiddo, calm down" tried Patton to sooth him. "There must be a reason behind this"

"But I really need Virgil right now" said Thomas. "What if something happened to him?!"

"This isn't good..." saw Patton as Thomas started to ger worse. "You need to calm down Thomas or we can't figure anything out"

"Y-You're right, you're right" said Thomas with a small nod and tried to calm down. "Did as Virgil showed me"

Thomas breathed in deeply.

"Alright..." he deeply breathed out.

He continued to do as Virgil had taught him slightly amazing Patton.

He knew that Virgil would often go out to Thomas to do work, but he didn't really know what he did. If it was to give or help with Thomas' anxiety.

"You alright now Thomas?" asked Patton.

"Y-Yeah" he nodded. "Sorry about that..."

"It's alright, kiddo" sadly smiled Patton. "Now, what were you panicking about again?"

"Oh..." said Thomas. "Guess I started to panic because I couldn't summon Virgil"

"Huh" said Patton. "Maybe we should ask Logan..."

"Yeah..." nodded Thomas. "Logan!"

Logan rose up and gave out a bored expression, but quickly hid it.

"What can I help you with, Thomas?" he asked.

"Do you know why I can't summon Virgil?" asked Thomas. "I have tried for a while now..."

"Virgil?" asked Logan. "He didn't duck out again did he?"

"Quack" said Patton, but Thomas could see that he wasn't his usual happy self.

"You alright, Patton?" asked Thomas. "You don't seem to be as high up as usual..."

"I'm fine, kiddo" said Patton with a sad smile. "And to answer your question Logan. He definitely didn't duck out as Thomas had a panic attack when I came"

"Ah, I see..." said Logan. "Well, I haven't seen him nor Roman in the mindspace for a while..."

"Neither have I..." said Patton.

"Something didn't happen... Right?" asked Thomas worried.

"No, no, don't worry kiddo!" reassured Patton. "Everything is alright...!"

"Is it really?" asked Thomas giving them both a look. "Again, is it really?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Logan almost irritaded while Patton shrunk back a little.

"From what I feel and get from all of you, you all don't seem to be getting along at all" said Thomas with a small glare at them. "I would really appreciate if you all could get along again"

"You know Thomas-" sighed Logan. "I'm getting extremely tired of all of this"

Thomas gave a look towards Patton who just looked away.

"We can get along, maybe even better, if everyone could grow up" said Logan annoyed.

"How about we ask Roman if he knows where Virgil is..." slowly said Patton. "I also need to talk to him about something..."

"Right..." said Logan. "If you don't mind then I'll be leaving"

Logan slowly sunk out making Thomas sigh.

"Patton..." tried Thomas.

"Just call Roman, please..." said Patton.

Thomas gave him a sad look then sighed.

"Alright..." he said. "Roman!"

They waited for a second, but no respons yet again.

"Roman!" called Thomas out again. "Him also...?"

"Where are they?" asked Patton confused and concern.

***(With Logan when he left)***

Logan rose up inside his room and plumped down on his bed, which was out of his outside character.

"Why can't things just go smoothly and easy..." he mumbled. "I may not show it, but I also have some emotions..."

A single tear slowly ran down his chin.

"Too much stress, too much emotions..." he listed off. "Too much breaking..."
