Thomas, after much debate, finally called Angel, and asked if she wanted to meet somewhere, to which the answer, surprisingly, was ‘yes’. They decided to meet up in a park, a public place, but not so crowded that Thomas would be recognized, considering his internet fame. It was decided that the most ideal time, was around 5 the next day.
“Are you sure we should be doing this?” Virgil asked Thomas as they walked to the center of the park.
“Well, now that I think about it, no.” Thomas said truthfully, “But I think she needs our help.”
“YEAH!” Morality hollered as he popped up, “Did you hear her awful comments?! Violence was totally in control! And poor Timidness!”
Virgil thought back to the shaking creature he saw.
“Well, I guess if we fail, nothing bad can really come of it… though we gain nothing if we succeed in turning her opinion of herself.”
“Incorrect,” Logan showed up, “A logical conclusion would be that we gain a new ally.”
“YAY, FRIENDS!”
Thomas chuckled as his Morality gained even more enthusiasm, that ability being surprisingly possible.
The group, now joined by Roman, found their way to a small bench at the center of the vast grassy area, seeing Angel not to far off, sitting next to a patch of out of place color. Upon coming closer, Logan saw the odd color to be several small trinkets, and a blue bag.
“I see you have made yourself comfortable already,” he noted, earning a startled squeak as Angel started to shove the trinkets in her bag before anyone could see them, to the onlookers confusion.
“Sorry for startling you.” Thomas chuckled nervously, Virgil getting the better of him.
“It’s… It’s fine.” Came the abrupt answer, “Why did you want to meet?”
Patton started to say something, but was stopped as Roman put a hand to his mouth, reminding him of the conversation they had on the car ride to the park about being subtle.
“Well, I was thinking, since we both have… uh… these, as you called them… Faults? I thought maybe we should try and figure out why we see them together, you know, find things out and… stuff.”
Thomas’ explanation was met with silence.
“Why?” Violence revealed herself, an accusing look turned towards Thomas, “And what makes you think we want anything to do with you and your nambi-pambi sides.”
“LEAVE BAMBI OUT OF THIS!” Patton hollered.
“I SAID PAMBI YOU NIMROD!” Violence hollered right back.
Patton shrunk back a bit, tears starting to form at the name calling.
“Hey,” Virgil started, “That, was uncalled for.”
“Said the one whose existence has always been uncalled for.” Violence stated, “Then again, we’re both in the same boat aren’t we?”
Violence felt a small tug on her baggy sleeve. Looking down, she saw the shrunken form of Timidness.
“Violence…” the girl whispered, “Stop… you’re hurting both of their f-feelings.”
“And suddenly you care?”
The teddy bear holding girl shrunk back as she whimpered, her expression that of an apology as she looked to Virgil and Patton.
“Enough, both of you.” Angel sighed, “To answer you from before, sure, maybe I can find a way to get rid of these nuisances.”
Timidness seemed hurt at her choice, though it was not noticed as Violence shoved her back.
“Do you… think you might come to understand them if you try?” Patton asked, wiping his earlier tears away, though they threatened to come back as Violence glared at him.
“Angel never wished for that before, why would she now?” She snorted, then disappeared before Angel could make a retort. This left Timidness quite alone as she shook.
“How much can one person hate themself?” Roman wondered, though he didn’t realize it was out loud until Logan elbowed him in the arm. This made the Prince figure look toward their ‘could-have-been’ friend, finding her looking at him, completely appalled.
“You know nothing, you wanna-be royal pain.” She seethed, “Look, I just want to be normal, that’s all. Who wants a constant bombardment of voices in their head? Only someone INSANE would want something like that.” At this, Violence showed up again, Indecisiveness just behind her, “WHAT NOW?!” She turned to the two. Violence merely shrugged, a mocking smirk on her face.
“This isn’t logical, Angel.” Indecisiveness stated, “We are wasting time.”
“You stay out of this,” Angel pointed an accusing finger at her version of Logic, “Go back and be silent like you usually are when I need you.”
Indecisiveness sighed, and disappeared, though not before sending a glance toward Logan, an apology hidden behind it. She had tried.
“I’d have to agree with Indecisivness,” Logan supported, “Your argument is rather flawed.”
“Said the robot who wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between an emotion and an emoticon.”
Though Logan was badly hurt, he did not show it as he shook his head in dismay.
“Perhaps, Thomas, we should give up on this foolish endeavor.”
“Go ahead!” Angel laughed, “You won’t be the first!”
At this, three of five turned, already done, the only two being steadfast being Thomas, and Patton.
“No.” Patton said firmly, standing tall as his usually cute and fun loving demeanor was replaced by that of someone who was saving a life, “We will be the first, the first to stay.”
Angel was silent as her eyes became wide, Timidness poking her head from behind her.
“R-really?” She asked in awe, a wide smile growing on her face as Patton nodded his head, a sweet, familiar smile coming back to his face. “THANK YOU!” Timidness ran at him, and hugged him around his waist, the girl being only a fraction of his height, the teddy bear held firmly behind him.
The three that started to leave, turned, seeing the whole of Angel’s sides beside her, all in awe of what was gracing their eyes. Timidness, was being bold.
