Authors Note: Hi want to let you all know I don't own Thomas Sanders, his friends or the Sander sides lol if I did that would be slavery and that's wrong.

Once everyone sat down in their chairs. The screen then flickered back to life.

Thomas: Hi my name is Thomas Sanders and yes I have worn this shirt for the 15 million time. Let's move on!

"Really Thomas, really" laughed Terence.

"Shut up" said Thomas.

Anxiety meanwhile was thinking about all the things people could say about that. Mean things and started to panic until Morality grabbed his hand and started to murmur to him that it was going to be ok.

Logic was watching Anxiety closely and had started to make a list of all the times he had a panic attack and what triggered it so that he can find a way to help him later. Creativity just wanted to continue the videos and Deciet just wanted to go to his room.

Thomas: What is up everybody? So like many other people in America I am getting ready for that magnificent Thursday that comes around every year. Where we gather around the table with our family, avoid conversation pertaining to politics and my lack of a significant other, and gorge ourselves on more food than we would ever naturally eat any other day of the year. That was one breathe. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is what I was referring to. I don't know if any of you were confused.

"Oh yeah really confused what ever could that holiday have been" Joan laughed sarcastically.

"Guys seriously what is this gang up on Thomas day" muttered Thomas glancing over at his friends.

"Yeah" they all said at once.

Thomas: This year however will be just a bit different. I shall be the only one of the four brothers there so naturally my dad has asked me to help cook the meal. Here's the thing though. I still don't really know how to cook.

"What!" shouted everyone except Anxiety who had just muttered it.

"Really? It's easy" said Lilly.

"Yes ok. I really don't know how to cook" muttered Thomas looking embarrassed.

"Well we can teach you while we are here. We don't have to watch all the episodes today" Valerie told Thomas gaining a little smile.

"That would be nice" Thomas said with a smile.

Anxiety concentrated on his breathing as he had flinched heavily when everyone had shouted. Morality ran his thumb soothingly over Anxiety's hand which he still held. Morality was concerned with how hard Anxiety had flinched and resolved himself to speaking to him later guessing that one on one would be better than asking him in front of everyone.

Morality: What. Okay I've had enough of this.

Thomas: Um my dad character? What are you doing here I had you here last time to help represent my moral side?

Morality: Well then just think of me is your sense of morality really firing back at you with a vengeance today.

Everyone laughed even Anxiety who giggled a little behind his hand. Morality smiled at him happy that Anxiety could relax even a little. Moralty had taken it upon himself to look after Anxiety as much as possible.

Morality: Do you know how often you say you can't cook? Lots of times. Do you know how often you try to learn how to cook? Zero times.

Thomas: Not true there was that one time a few months ago when, you're right it's already a bad sign that I have to go back that far.

Morality: Being able to cook yourself a meal is an essential part to living as an adult.

Thomas: Ahhh why you got to say that word?

Morality: What adult?

Thomas: I have that music set up specifically for this.

Morality: Oh come on I'm an adult. I'm a dad it's not that scary. Thomas: Your face is scary!

Everyone turned to look at Thomas who hid his face behind his hand in embarrassment. Anxiety also felt Thomas's anxiey kicking in and shifted uncomfortably as his breathing hitched.

"Lets continue" Logic asked starting to get a little annoyed with all the interruptions. Everyone turned back to the screen.

Morality: You realize we ...

Thomas: Have the same face. Yeah I messed up. This is not my day today.

Morality: Okay well let's calm down. Why don't we go through a list of what you can do yourself?

Thomas: Okay. Yeah sure, um, yeah. I can manage that.

Morality: Can you change the oil in your car?

Thomas: I don't think so.

"I'll teach you and anyone else who wants to know how while we are here" Terence said.

"Thanks" Thomas said.

Morality: Okay. Can you do taxes?

Thomas: Absolutely I cannot.

"I'll teach that" Lilly said smiling down the line at everyone.

Morality: Can you handle disposing bugs, spiders or other creatures you may find in your house?

Thomas: Come on.

Morality : Yeah that's a no.

Thomas: Ughhh this is so bad I am literally failing at the process of becoming an adult.

Morality: Which we all know is referred to as adultery.

"No. Oh my god" Everyone groaned.

"What?" asked Morality confused tilting his head to the side like a dog.

Anxiety looked around and noticing that no one was going to tell Morality the truth turned to Morality and said.

"The term for being an adult is adulthood"

"Oh" said Morality his eyes widening. "Then what is adultery?"

"Um I will tell you later" muttered Anxiety.

"Ok thanks Anxiety" Morality smiled hugging Anxiety quickly.

Anxiety offered him a little smile.

Thoams: No no that is not a correct statement no.

Morality: I thought that was a thing.

Thoams: It's a thing. It's just way different ... okay, well you know, like really though how am I this bad at taking care of myself. I treat the stove in my kitchen like a friend that I've been neglecting.

Thomas: My humps ...

Oven: Hey Thomas.

Thomas: Hey man.

Oven: How you been?

Thomas I'm doing well thank you for asking. I'm doing very well.

Oven: Have any food to cook.

Thomas: Um mmm nah.

Oven: Even just good old ramen or something?

Thomas: Huh um you know I'm not really feeling hungry at the moment so.

Oven: Yeah true true.

Thomas: Yes so ...

Oven: Who you calling?

Thomas: Oh no one. Just you know, my mom, she asked me to call her so...

Oven: Totally, sounds lit.

Thoams: Yeah.

Oven: You know unlike me cuz I'm an unlit stove. Have been for some time now.

Thomas: Okay well I'm gonna go ...

Oven: Cool cool yeah yeah yeah.

Thomas: Good seeing you again. See you later yeah, catch up later yeah.

Oven: See you later.

Thomas: Good seeing you. Yes I'd like a large cheese please.

"Oh my god that was so weird" Creativity stated loudly.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Morality: Yeah that's pretty bad.

Thomas: I know.

Morsality: Well it's all in baby steps like everything you've learned in life.

Thomas: Like what?

Morality: Well you wash your own laundry don't you?

Thomas: Yeah.

Morality: You've learned how to eat better and exercise.

Thomas: I still eat a ton of pizza but yeah.

Morality: And when dealing with other people you know when to stand up for what's right and when to turn the other cheek.

Thomas: I show them my butt.

Everyone started laughing even Thomas though he was very red in the face.

Morality: Not what I meant and you probably should stop showing people your well ... one problem at the time. The point is you didn't always know to do those things and they came about because you took the time to learn.

Thomas: Urghh you're right.

Morality: Learn from your parents and hopefully they will also take the time to learn from you and what you know.

Thomas: How to turn on the computer so my mom can play solitaire.

Morality: Right.

Thomas: I hope you all learn new ways of becoming independent and becoming an adult shouldn't mean losing the sense of who you are.

Morality: Course not you can still be a kid at heart. Just learn about the world around you as well as skills that will help you and others.

"That's a good idea we should teach each other what we know while here than do some courses when we get out of here" Logic spoke up.

"Urggggh shut up Erlenmeyer Trash" Creativity snapped.

"Creativity enough stop being mean" Thomas told Creativity.

Creativity pouted.

"I think Logic's idea is a good one" Talyn said.

Everyone agreed except Creativity and Deciet.

Thomas: And learning to become an adult is not a race so no pressure in figuring it all out.

Morality: That's right but you Thomas, you should learn how to cook.

Thomas: Got it.

Morality: And remember you're a real pizza work ... Cause you like pizza.

Everyone laughed except Logic who just groaned. Anxiety was laughing so hard that everyone turned to him. Anxiety becoming aware of all the eyes on him started to try and stifle the laughter.

"Everyone stop staring your scaring him" Morality stated. Everyone quickly looked away though Creativtiy snorted rolling his eyes.

Thomas: Got it. Yeah.

Morality: Tata I wish you the best of luck in your adultery.

Everyone laughed lightly including Morality who now knew what he had said wrong.

Thomas: That's not okay ... well as I go and attempt to learn something new I hope that you all have the opportunity to do the same and until next time take it easy guys, gals and non-binary pals. Peace out.

"That was a good episode" Terence said with a smile.

"Shhh still got the short at the end" Talyn muttered eyes still fixed on the screen.

Everyone turned back to the screen.

Thomas: Hey.

Oven: Hey.

Thomas: So I was thinking?

Oven: Yeah

Thomas: Thanksgiving is coming up and I wondered if maybe. Oven: Yeah.

Thomas: We can rekindle our friendship.

Oven: Oh let's start with you rekindling a fire on this stove buddy. Thomas: You got it.

Oven: That's a plastic plate.

Thomas: Oh um...

Oven: You know you can't put that on me right?

Thomas: Oh yeah sure hmmm I know.

Oven: I'm scared.

Thomas: Me too.

"That was funny" Lilly laughed.

Everyone agreed.

"Ok well time for a break 15 minutes and then back to your seats" Thomas said standing and stretching.

Everyone went their seperagte ways.

Anxiety went to check out his room needing to recoup some energy before dealing with the others again.

Creativity went over to the snacks and decided to stuff his face.

Logic went to his room to read abit. He chose a book about anxiety and ways to help someone with it.

Deciet disappeared to his room doing who knows what.

Morality fluttered around to others while wishing that a kitchen would appear. A flash appeared along the back wall and a door appeared with the word kitchen on it. He went in and decided to check whether he had the ingrediants for his special triple choc chip cookies so he could make some later. He had then all and smiled.

Lilly, Talyn, Valerie, Terence, Joan and Thomas went to one corner and started discussing how odd it was to be around the sides so much. Lilly said that it would be a great time to learn more about the sides and their background. They all agreed with that.
