The Dinner and Serious Conversations
As Anxiety walked towards the kitchen Creativity who had been pouting while glaring at Anxiety decided to have some fun. He stuck is foot out in front of Anxiety tripping him up. Anxiety fell to the ground hard letting out a little "ooof" his head hitting the floor lightly.
Thomas and friends seeing what had happened leapt up. Thomas decided to confront Creativity while his friends went to help Anxiety up checking that he was ok.
"Creativity that is enough! I have had it with your treatment of Anxiety. If you are going to act like a child then you will be treated like a child." Thomas stated firmly.
"Whatever. Anxiety is just a monster" muttered Creativity pouting.
"Creativity quiet! I have done enough of your attitude. If you do not have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. You will go sit in that corner until I say you can come out. Think about your behaviour and how you would feel if someone treated you like this" Thomas ordered pointing to a corner of the room where there was absolutely nothing.
Creativity "humphed" and stomped over to the corner and sat down on the milking stool that appeared.
"You ok Anxiety?" Thomas asked.
"Yeah thanks Thomas" Anxiety muttered lowly dusting of his knees.
"That's good if he continues to harrass you let me know. I do not accept that kind of behaviour" Thomas let Anxiety know.
"Will do. I'm gonna go see Morality in the kitchen" Anxiety said and gave Thomas and his friends a small smile.
"Ok see you soon" they all said.
Thomas and Friends went back over to where they were to continue discussing what they had learned about the sides and sharing ideas on how to improve relations with the sides. Thomas also asked for more ways to keep Ceativity in control and teach him to not be so mean and also getting him to not be so selfish.
Anxiety entered the kitchen and saw morality moving around the room.
"What are you making? Need any help?" Anxiety asked quietly.
"I'm making homemade pizza. You can help decorate the pizza's if you want" Morality smiled widely up at Anxiety.
Anxiety walked over to the bench and saw that there were five pizza bases covered in tomato pizza paste. Above the bases were bowls filled with various toppings.
"We are going to need to do a vegan pizza" muttered Anxiety.
"Ohh yes I forgot about that. Thanks Anxiety" Morality laughed bouncing over and grabbing a vegan pizza base and spreading paste on it.
Anxiety and Morality stood their in silence for a few minutes spreading toppings over the different pizzas.
"Anxiety can I ask you something?" Morality asked wondering if he is going to mess up his friendship with his kiddo.
"Sure" Anxiety muttered wondering what this would be about.
"Well I noticed you seem to jump quite abit whenever there is a loud noise. Why do you do that?" Morality asked tilting his head to the side.
Anxiety looked at Morality for a moment before realising that Morality was genuine with his question and not being malicious.
Sighing Anxiety turned to Morality and answered.
"I don't just have Thomas's anxiety I am also his fight or flight reflex which means that I have to be aware of anything and everything that could be dangerous to Thomas. Loud noises trigger the fight or flight reflex as a scan for anything that could be a danger. Also I have my own anxieties and one of those is loud noises and staring. Makes me feel like I have done something wrong and then I start to think of all the stuff I could have done wrong."
"Oh, wow have you let Thomas know that you have your own anxieties?" Morality asked shocked.
"Nope" Anxiety muttered looking down.
"Why not?" asked Morality.
"I don't know. I just feel like he would judge me for it. I'm weak" Anxiety answered looking down and away from Morality.
Morality jump hugged Anxiety.
"You are not weak. You are strong. I want let you talk bad about yourself kiddo"
"Thanks Morality. Hey Morality can I tell you a secret? You can't tell anyone" Anxiety said looking directly into Morality's eyes to read him.
"Sure kiddo, you can tell me anything and I promise I wont tell anyone. Not even Thomas" Morality stated seriously amazed at Anxieties trust in him.
"My name is ... Virgil" whispered Anxiety.
"Thank you for trusting me. I promise I will keep your name secret until you tell everyone else yourself. My name is Patton" Morality whispered back smiling widely at Anxiety.
They shared a smile and continued with putting toppings on the pizzas just chatting and getting to know one another better. After they had done that Morality put the pizzas in the oven and turned to Anxiety.
"Hey Virge wanna help me make self-saucing chocolate pudding"
"Sure Pat" Anxiety smiled.
Together they whipped up the dessert and placed it beside the oven until the pizza's were done.
Together they set the tables and checked the fridge for drinks. There were a range of bottles of cool drinks. So they grabbed a couple and placed them on the table.
When the pizza's were done Morality went and grabbed them out of the oven.
"Can you please go get everyone for dinner" asked Morality as he placed the self-saucing chocolate pudding into the oven.
"Sure" Anxiety said.
Anxiety went into the main room and saw that Creativity was still sitting in the corner. Walking over to Thomas and his friends he said.
"Dinners ready"
"Cool, we're on our way in" Thomas smiled up at Anxiety.
Anxiety turned around and went down to the rooms. Logics room was first. He knocked.
"Enter"
Anxiety entered and looked around. The room was floor to ceiling bookshelves on every subject with a single bed tucked into the corner and a desk in the middle of the room with stacks of books upon the desk.
"Hey dinner is ready" Anxiety muttered.
"Excellent I shall be out in a second" Logic nodded to Anxiety placing a metal bookmark into the book he had been reading.
Anxiety exited the room and saw the Duke exiting Creativity's.
"Dinner is ready" Anxiety muttered shifting away from him.
"Okey dokey Anxiety" The Duke smirker and ran twirling and leaping to the dinning area.
Shaking his head slightly he walked onto the final door on the right hand side.
"Deciet dinner is ready" Anxiety called through the door.
"How awful" Deciet said opening his door and walking past Anxiety.
When Anxiety entered the kitchen he saw that everyone else was already seated, the only open spot between Valerie and Morality.
Sitting down he placed two slices of pizza on his plate and started eating listening to the conversations around him. After finishing his slices he continue to listen to the conversations.
"These pizza's are delicious. Thanks Morality" Thomas moaned finishing his last slice.
"Yeah I didn't know vegan pizza could be so good" Talyn agreed leaning back and rubbing her stomach.
"Well thanks Anxiety helped me make the pizzas and I would have forgotten about making a vegan pizza if he hadn't reminded me." He grinned at the praise.
"Really well thank you Anxiety" Talyn smiled at Anxiety.
Anxiety blushed.
"Uh your welcome" he muttered.
"Dessert time!" Morality cheered.
Everyone agreed and Morality served up some piping hot self saucing chocolate pudding. He had got the self-saucing just right and the inside was gooey. Anxiety enjoyed his bowl saving the gooey centre for last.
After finishing up. Morality got up and with the help of Lilly, Valerie, Anxiety, Logic, Terence, Joan, Talyn and Thomas quickly got all the dishes washed, dried and put aways.
Walking back into the main room everyone sat down in their chairs.
"Hey Anxiety you know how you said each side corresponds with a colour and that's how you new that the Duke was going to appear what are everyone's colours. Thomas asked, the question had been bugging him.
"Oh well Creativiy is red, the Duke's is green, Morality is light blue, Logic is dark blue and uh ... mine is ... purple" Anxiety self concious of the fact that purple is often seen as girly.
"Pffffft purple, What are you a girl?" Laughed Creativity.
"Creativity enough" Thomas growled.
Anxiety had shrunk in on himself. Morality leaned over and hugged Anxiety to him while frowning disapprovingly at Creativity.
"Creativity your continued bullying of Anxiety is tiring" Logic stated adjusting is glasses slightly.
"Lets just continue the viewing" Anxietys muttered.
Everyone relunctingly turned to the screen.
