"Ghosts..?" ( Karrot Kings Ship )

Midnight

Thomas's POV

I sighed into the couch. That was way too embarrassing.. what was I thinking?!

"You guys are stupid." Virgil, being the source of the embarrassment, shook his head.

"It was going to be so romantic!" Roman cried, being the dramatic side he is.

"AND spicy!" Remus joined in on the cries.

Janus sighed and pinched Remus's cheek. "You gotta stop interfering with the love life. That's not your job."

"Jeez, Jan! No need to be so rough. That's for later~" Remus grinned and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Ugh... Get a room." Virgil spat at the two dark sides.

"Yeah yeah. Like I'd room with that trash rat." Janus hissed back.

I sighed and tossed in my bed. "Hey guys, can we talk about this tomorrow? I need to sleep too."

"Nah let's think about all the things you could've done better today." Virgil laid down from the back of the couch.

"Easy there, Hot Topic. Thomas needs his beauty sleep! How else are we supposed to look cute 24/7?" Roman conveyed.

"He's right Virgil. Lets just sleep on it." I murmured, tired.

"..Tch... Fiine.. Whatever..." Virgil scoffed.

---------------------------------------

Patton's POV

"Hmmm..."

I'm really bored... Everyone just went back to their rooms. Which, yeah I should probably go to bed to, but I cant help but be hungry right now!

..Oh. I'm just hungry. Cookies it is! ..That is if Nico even has any.

With those thoughts in my head, I got up and walked over to the kitchen. I deserved a few cookies today!

---------------------------------------

Nico's POV

I woke up in a daze, to a faint banging. 

Huh.. Is Thomas up right now? ..Maybe the banging is someone in the house right now.. 

Swiftly and quietly, I got up from my bed and snuck out of the room.

I have to be careful. The worst possibility is still possible.

I snuck out from the room down to the kitchen, but on the way I noticed Thomas was still on the couch. So its not him making the noise.

That must mean..

I peered into the kitchen.

"...Huh?" I muttered under my breath.

There's... no one there?

..Then what was that banging? It must have come from here..

I swiftly looked around, and I noticed a few things. Some of the cabinets were slightly opened, and some bowls and silverware were scattered around the counter.

It looked like someone was looking for something.

I sighed. The person might have left the second they made the noise. Well. I might need to lock the door at least.

With that thought popping up, I turned to go towards the door. But before I could get out of the kitchen, I bumped into something glass.

"Eh?"

I rubbed my head and looked up to see what I had bumped into. And that's when I saw...

My... cookie jar..?

---------------------------------------

Patton's POV

"Ah!"

I think I accidentally woke up Nico..

"Oh shoot! I'm sorry! ..Wait.. Can you even hear me? Never mind that, Im so sorry for waking you up! Oh and stealing your cookies. But y'know I need my cookies!"

I gave a joking smile, but he didn't reply. He just sorta stood there with a confused or shocked face.

"Ehm..." I grabbed the cookie on the top of my pile and handed it over to him. "Do you want a cookie too?" I gave him a smile.

There, he took the cookie from my hand and just looked at me. "Uhm... Thanks..."

"Ah! Thank goodness we're on good terms now!" I had to bounce in place for a second. "Well, I need to go back to my room now! See you around, Nico!" I gave him a smile, then set the jar down. Then I walked over to Thomas, and sank back down into my room.

---------------------------------------

Nico's POV

My.. Cookie jar was floating there. A few cookies already out of the jar floating there as well.

I was totally taken aback. I'm not dreaming.. right? No.. If I was dreaming the bump wouldn't hurt. So that means this object is floating in front of me right now.

My brain scrambled to come up with a normal conclusion for this, but nothing worked. This is paranormal activity right in front of me!

When I brought my attention back to the jar, I noticed there was a figure holding it.

A bright-blue figure, similar to the purple one, but I could make out small details that I didn't see with the last one. This one had glasses, a gray hoodie wrapped around their neck, as well as a goofy smile. It was still hazy and blurry though, so I couldn't make out the face. It didn't say anything, and I think it was as shocked as I saw.

As my brain was scrambling to make sense of this, the figure handed me one of the cookies. Shaking a bit from shock, I took it.

"Uhm... Thanks.."

The figure bounced a bit in place, set the jar back down, and took the rest of the cookies with him.

Confused, I followed the figure. They made its way towards the still-asleep Thomas on the couch, then sunk into the ground.

And at that point, I didn't see them rise up again..
