Chapter Text
"Everyone, I have an idea!" Roman announced proudly one night.
Logan sighed, wondering if he was going to regret asking his first question. "What more-than-likely impossible dream are you hoping to accomplish this time?" He asked, not looking up from his puzzle.
Virgil smirked. "That was harsh, Logan." The logical Side didn't respond.
"I'm sure it'll be a great idea, Roman!" Patton smiled, which greatly brightened the mood.
"Well, at least one of you appreciates it." Roman glared at Logan, before continuing. "So, I can't be the only one who's tired of only seeing the world through Thomas's perspective, right?" Several Sides gave him a look.
"What do you mean?" Virgil asked.
"We only see the world through Thomas. My question is; why have we never tried to see the real world for ourselves?" Logan finally seemed to get the idea, but he didn't seem convinced.
"Roman, I'm sure you know by now that that's impossible."
"But we've never tried." Remus spoke up. "We can't know if something is impossible if we never try to do it."
"For once, I agree with you." Roman seemed surprised at his own statement, so you know it was a shock to everyone else.
"Never thought I'd hear you say that."
"It would hurt to try...but what about Thomas?" Roman looked to Deceit, who seemed to be considering something.
"It's not like we wouldn't be there, we'd just be out there with him."
But before anyone could object, he sank out.
"Guess we're doing it then." Remus followed. Virgil, Patton, Deceit, and Logan were right behind them.
"Okay Thomas, you really need to go to bed." Logan nearly face palmed when he saw that his host was up watching Parks and Recreation for the sixteenth time that week.
"But this is a good episode. Besides, Remy hasn't shown up yet." Thomas argued. He knew it was useless, he was arguing with Logic after all.
"Really? I never realized that I was right here." Remy said from behind Thomas, which definitely startled his host.
"Why haven't you been doing your job?" Logan immediately questioned. Remy rolled his eyes, taking a sip of his Starbucks.
"It is a really good episode."
They had to force him to make Thomas sleep.
"Alright, you got what you wanted, now what was so important that you had to come up here and interrupt Thomas?" Everyone looked to Roman for an answer. He hadn't really explained it to them either.
"Well, you and Emile managed to, how do I say this, break your ties to the Mindscape, right?" Not a very good way of explaining it, though.
What had actually happened was that Remy and Emile, not being considered actual Sides by Thomas, were able to freely leave the Mindscape and into the real world.
"Yeah. Where are you going with this?"
"Do you think we'd be able to do the same thing?" Remy thought about it for a moment, eyeing each Side with a faint hint of curiosity before answering.
"Maybe, that depends on how Thomas reacts when he hears that idea."
"Wait, so it's all dependent on Thomas- and he's gone." Patton sighed.
"Guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow then."
Everyone sank back down.
