Chapter Text
The Sides had been off for weeks now. Thomas had stated his idea of showing them to the world in form of a web series on YouTube, with varied responses.
Logic was sceptical of the idea, but did see the charm in having them all onscreen to constantly offer advice and help to Thomas.
Creativity was overjoyed, he would be in the spotlight, for all of the viewers to see. He would not let Thomas down.
Morality was excited, he had never been shown on a video before, sure he was always there in the back of Thomas's mind, but he had never been actually shown.
Anxiety was less than ecstatic. To put it simply, he was a train wreck, he was worried over so many things, what if it went bad, what if the viewers didn't like them, what if Thomas's popularity drops... and so on.
Anxiety had leaked his fears to the other sides, and so they were feeling drops in their enthusiasm.
This is where I come in.
All Sides had been summoned to the common room in the mind palace. Their spots on the couches matched their colour scheme, red for Creativity, light blue for Morality, dark blue for Logic and purple for Anxiety.
What had startled the sides more than this change was the unfamiliar girl that was inside the mind palace.
The sides reacted differently, Creativity drew his sword, Logic and Morality jumped behind him, and Anxiety had started running towards his room. Needless to say, that wasn't happening.
The girl snapped her fingers and the sides were sitting on the couch, no weapons and unable to lave that spot.
The order was:
Anxiety-Creativity-Mortality-Logic
The girl spoke, "Listen, I am not here to hurt you".
While this calmed Morality and Creativity, Anxiety was more alert then before, fight or flight reflexes kicking in.
The girl explained her intentions.
"I am named Flower, I among many of my kind have a job, and that involves manipulating the worlds of others, my manipulation of your world has been chosen, to make you watch your future, in the form of Thomas Sanders's Web Series: "Sanders Sides".
The other sides looked at her with suspicion.
Logic asked her a question, "Why our world, and why watching our future?"
The others looked on in curiosity.
Lily Flower answered with a starling statement. "Because I, like many others, adore the series and its characters, above all I and a few others love the character 'Anxiety' the most, although you all have your own fans. My actions today are an action that I wish others had done, but will instead do myself".
The others sides were in shock, Anxiety especially, she favoured him above the others? It was almost to ridiculous to believe, but the way she looked at him, really had him feeling like she meant it.
Before the others could speak up she spoke again. "You have a choice, watch these videos, and see you future, or say no, and wonder forever what you may have been shown.
The sides nodded in silent unison, they would watch, and hopefully use this knowledge to protect Thomas.
Flower smiled, and left one message before departure, "The videos will play and pause according to who is speaking, as to allow deliberation or commentary, time will be unaffected, so you may watch all of these with no worries as to Thomas's wellbeing, he is still asleep. And I hope that you learn about each other and yourselves in the process of these videos, enjoy".
With that, she left, and the Tv sparked to life.
