Okay well this is a longgggg ass chapter and we have done a few week time skip i hope you enjoy!~

[Time Skip Summary:

A couple weeks had passed in the house that the sides had started calling the mindscape that the mystery twins knockoffs had started to say as well. In the first week they had all painted their rooms and Virgil helped because his room was still not done. Roman had started to help the sides decorate their rooms as the house was being finished up. Virgil insisted that they finish the rest of the house because they did not want to be a nuisance, which raven repeatedly told him he wasn't. The library was finished up quickly thanks to the two biggest nerds of the house; raven and logan, and the sides were starting to settle into the place feeling more like a house than a rbnb. Vee had locked himself in his room starting to over work himself on projects for youtube he had been putting off, raven repeatedly tried to nudge him out but he said 'he wanted to finish the script if it was the last thing he did,' she had to make sure he was staying hydrated so it was an often occurrence that raven would throw a water bottle at him. After he finished the script he worked day and night on designing the office. Roman tried to help but the boy waved him off. Raven on the other hand took the softer approach, getting to know each of the sides, though deceit wasn't a very open book, neither was Virgil, but Roman assured her that it just takes time for both of them, which she understood because that's about the same way her brother worked. After a while Patton noticed how the Virgils were slowly getting to know each other. Patton then ran to raven squealing about it. Roman and Virgil's relationship grew as Virgil kept staying in Romans room, Roman kept flirting with the side. Though they all felt a little stir crazy being stuck in the house; and here is where we enter you into the story about a month after the dinner... ]

Roman comes down from the stairs, disheveled. He looks at the rest of the group, who was doing their own things: Raven and Logan were playing chess with each other for who knows how long, both Virgils were talking back and forth while on their phones, and Patton and Janus were conversing with each other, the dad explaining to the snake about cooking. Roman lets out a dramatic and deep sigh, grabbing the attention of the female. She looks over at the Prince with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, Roman?"

"We've been stuck in this house forever because we all look the same! I want to go out, adventure! Not be stuck in this glamorous house like Rapunzel. Can we please go outside?" He asks, as the female stands up suddenly, shoving the chess board onto the ground.

"I thought you'd never ask!" She says excitedly, as the other male at the side of the table looks at the chessboard that is now on the ground.

"Raven, do you have any idea how long we have been playing that game for?" He asks, clearly annoyed at the fact their game was abruptly stopped by the Princes whining. He'd much rather stay inside, due to the fact he has everything here. Raven looks at the male, looking down at her phone.

"We've been playing for 4 hours, 27 minutes, 28 seconds, 29 seconds, 30 seconds-" She gets cut off by Vee.

"A while." Her brother interrupts. "Can you get on with your idea?"

She pulls out her notepad, flipping it to a page. "So, it has come to my attention earlier on that you all know how to shapeshift, correct?"

"That would be so, yes." Roman says, coming closer and leaning against the wall.

"Have you all even thought about the fact that you could just shapeshift yourselves to look differently?" She asks, as silence fills the room.

"Wish I could do that," Her brother mumbles, as the female hears his words and smacks him in the back of the head with the notebook.

"OH MY STARS YOU'RE RIGHT!"

"Did you not remember the main power you all possess!??" She questions

"I mean, can I really change how perfect I already am?" Roman says, flexing as the others sigh. "These perfect lips, locks, beauty!~" The girl tries to think of a plan.

"Well I'm sure you can, find a way to make yourself look even better than perfect..?" She says, hoping he falls for it. Roman looks over at the girl, silent for a moment before he grabs her shoulders.

"You...are BRILLIANT!!! I have always wanted gingerish red hair that had no callics ruining my good hair days, and some freckles too!" He admits, running his fingers through his hair.

"I thought you already said you were perfect tho-"

"A DUH DUH- Shut it R2-DNerd!" Roman retorts back. The male starts to describe how he would wish to look like, as Raven suddenly runs over to the bookshelf, knocking a bunch of books over to find her drawing pad. Logan looks at all the books that are on the ground, sighing.

"Raven, I am not helping you clean this up this time." He states, adjusting his glasses. The female knows definitely well that he will help her. She looks around for a drawing utensil, before spotting a pencil placed atop her brother's ear. She rushes over, taking it from his head.

"Hey!-" her brother protests, however goes unheard by the female. She flips pages over, going to a clean sheet as she starts to sketch out a rough idea of what Roman was thinking of for himself. All the group can hear is pencil touching paper, as they look at each other in confusion. She lets out a deep breath after holding it in for so long, showing it to the male knees bent slightly.

"Is- this what you were thinking?" She asks, peeking at him through the top of the sketchbook. The male takes it, examining the artwork before him.

"This is- perfect wait how did you even do this?? This is beautiful, perfect for me! Are you some kind of wizard!?" He asks, shocked.

"If Vee is the writer, I do some sketching. It's nothing big though, I can only do sketching. So, why don't you try to shapeshift into this and see how you like it?"

The prince looks at the drawing, memorizing it. He snaps his fingers and a bright light appears immediately going away as roman's appearance changes. He had caramel skin with light freckles dusting his cheeks, his hair was dark brown and fluffy, it had red tips that were very vibrant.

The group hears a loud thud, seeing Virgil suddenly fall on the ground. "Im good. Im just uh, gonna stay here for now." He says, giving a thumbs up.

The prince smirked, looking at everyone. "So, what do you all think!?~"

The female claps, happy her sketch has come to life. "Oh my goodness you look amazing Roman!~"

"You're telling me you don't even have to buy hair dye!?" Vee says growling in frustration. "The world is cruel, the universe has failed me." he leans over the end of the couch.

"Vee, there are people in the world without a home." Raven sighs.

"Yeah like i said the world is cruel." he replies back

Patton gasps, squealing as he turns running towards Raven. "DO ME NEXT DO ME NEXT!!~" He squeals out, as Raven gets a bit startled.

"O-Okay okay Pat! What do you have in mind?" She asks, as he ponders for a moment.

"Hmmm, freckles! A lot of them!" He says back.

"Hey you can't out freckle me! However, that would suit you very well Patton-" Roman fires back immediately complimenting him.

"Ooh Patton, I have an idea for your hair." Vee speaks, up helping the convo move along. "Curly yellow blond hair and round glasses. Oh and it should be long enough for a man bun." He states doing finger guns at the dad character. He gasps stars in his eyes.

"Oh that would be cute." Raven says as she turns to a new page starting the sketch. "I would envision him to have more of a round face but not chubby. Freckles everywhere. Light eyebrows and crystal blue eyes." Patton gets all excited. After a while Raven turns the sketch to Patton and Roman as gawk at the art. Patton scrunches his nose and closes his eyes and the same bright light as before. Vee hisses at the light. Patton then comes out with a bubbly look on his face.

"How do i look?" Patton asks, looking at his different hands and arms.

"Like we are in an alternate universe." Logan says admiring the new form.

"Pat you look spectacular!" Raven and Roman say at the same time jumping up and down.

"You don't look perfect." Dee says looking at the moral side.

"Nice it suits you." Virgil says to his dad.

"Alright! So, who wants to go next?~" She says cheerfully. Vee gets a ding on his phone. He looks right over at raven with a scared look on his face.

"Dads on his way over." Vee says blatantly. The female looks at him, then laughs a little.

"You're joking, She states, as the brother shakes his head. "No he's not, you're joking." Raven says joining in with the worry.

"Nope stop, we are being put through a test. The universe is testing us. Our dad wants to meet you all. And by meet that means you all have to be real people and-" Vee started freaking out his sister stopped him.

"Are you sure he's coming-?" She asks, concerned.

"He's on his way, oh god what if he doesn't like what we've done with the house? Or he expected more from us? What if he wants them to have jobs already? Or he kicks us all out?!" Vee freaks out even more.

"Okay woah calm down there, panicking is my job and ... too late already panicking." The other virgil states looking around at everyone else's faces.

"Nah if he's coming over he would have texted me... Right?" Raven says, The female hears a ping sound from her phone as well, as she picks up the device. She opens up her phone, unlocking it as she reads it. And then reads it again. And again. Finally, she squeals as she drops her phone.. "Oh shit-." She said fearfully.

"Uh, oh we're in danger." Roman says concerned looking between the two.

"V-Vee." The female looks at her brother with a fearful look in her eyes. "I am the only female in this household with 5 other men." She carefully words out. The two siblings know how much their father wants the older brother to find someone and be happy, however with the younger sister the father doesn't exactly tolerate her with boys. He doesn't want her within 6 feet distance from them, no eye contact being made whatsoever.

"Roman quickly, pretend to be a girl." Dee says, looking at the fanciful side.

"Um absolutely not." The prince says, offended.

"Oh come on princey, I wanna see you in a skirt." Virgil replies making fun of the conversation being had.

"Ah! Excuse you, I have just changed into this beautiful and perfect form, I am in no way changing again!" He gasps offended again.

"We're screwed...." Vee says, banging his head against the wall.

"No no no we can... fake it till we make it." Patton says,  desperately trying to help the siblings feel less anxious.

"No, no lying." Roman says.

"Oh come on, we just changed our forms from what we originally were, that's practically lying." Dee says, waving his hand around.

"I mean, we can just change you all before he gets here! It's not like he's going to burst in the door any second-!" Raven says but gets interrupted.

The door bursts open. The group screams in a moment of pure terror.

Thomas immediately falls backward screaming as well. "I was just going to surprise you with donuts!" He yells almost jumping out of his body. He gathers himself as all of the others breathe deeply. "What the hell did I walk in on?"

"Oh thank god you are not our dad!!" Vee says holding his chest hunched over.

"Should I be happy with that statement or....?" Thomas asks confused.

"Be very happy Thomas. Very thankful and happy." Raven says quickly.

---TimeSkip---

"Oh, so your dad is just coming over?" Thomas asks, as the two siblings look over at him.

"IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE!!" The two of them yell, making the sides and Thomas look at the two with confusion.

"We have to make sure our dad knows we are ready to take care of ourselves! We can't disappoint him!! Plus, you all are male and most of you look the same!" The older brother states, as she nods.

"Our dad may be fine with Vee dating, but with me!? I can't be in the eye range of a guy or else chaos happens!" She explains. This is when Thomas starts to panic.

"And you didn't give us a heads up!?"

"We didn't get a heads up!"

"Oh my gosh we have to change everyone now!" Thomas states, now also in the same panic mode as the other two.

"Right!" Roman says pointing to virgil, "Your turn emo." he shakes his head no.

"How about me and Dee just stay in dees room and we won't come out." Virgil offers looking at the group, the other virgil shakes his head no.

"Raven had given a brief description of you all when you moved in, so we need all of you here, sorry Virge and Dee," He says looking down, "Dee not to be pushy but besides when you dress up as the other sides can you .."

"Make the snake half disappear? No I can't, I can't even make it look like a burn mark," he looked uncomfortable as he finished the brother's sentence, "I can look differently slightly though, i already had drawn something out so i'll just change into that," The same light thing flashed as he changed into having half green blue hair and half dirty blond hair that was bushy and slightly curly, it wasn't buzzed anywhere, but the top of his head was slightly longer as it layered shorter the farther down on his head it went, he didn't have his top hat anymore and he was slim and lanky he was still wearing most of his regular clothes but his green hair on the left side of his face covered up his eyes and some of his scales as he was wearing a maroon turtleneck covering up his neck and most of his scales on that side. His gloves were still yellow but they were silk instead of cotton and had small snake eyes on the wrist portion. His face was a little more narrow than Thomas's and his lips were shaped differently, his nose was also a bit more narrow and his skin was a small bit player than Thomas's. his eyes were an icy blue green with an umber brown ring around his pupil. He seemed like this didn't affect him much as he finished reading a page and flipped it to the next one.

"Oooooh," Patton looked at his hair and immediately wanted to touch it. "Hair fluffy hair, I wanna touch fluffy hair." He cooed, resisting.

"Your new nickname is evil sprite can and also I love the outfit update," Roman said, quickly turning to Raven, "You should draw Logan." Logan explained what he would want as Raven quickly sketched as Roman was going to say something to Virgil but Virgil held his hand up.

"I got it." He said quickly another flash of light happened where Virgil's hair was a darker and more vibrant purple, this flash of light was purple for some reason. Virgil's skin was much much lighter than Thomas's, his eyes a very vibrant purple, his lips were pale and they weren't thin but they were not plump either, he was still wearing his jacket but his body was slim and his shoulders were broad but not too broad. He wasn't tall and he was short either, he was about the same height as the other Virgil that was only a few inches shorter than Raven. Virgil's face was much slimmer and his chin was quite chiseled and pointed. His eyes widened though. He covered his mouth as Roman and the other Virgil looked at him confused. "Oh shit." He said behind his hand. Roman looked at him confused as he jumped up and ran down the hallway to the guest bedroom's bathroom. The whole house looked at him as Dee turned a page in his book. Raven then finished the drawing looking excited to show everyone.

Logan adjusts his attire, giving a nod towards the drawing and snaps his finger, turning into the image that was created by the female. He now seemed to have a taller structure, about as tall as the female but perhaps an inch smaller, however taller than most of the others. His previous brown hair had shifted into black locks, and his brown eyes changed to an emerald green. His glasses were more square shaped, and his figure changed into a more chiseled, broad body type. He looks at everyone, fixing his glasses. "Perhaps," he clears his throat, "Perhaps this is adequate." He states, his voice more articulated, cold and calculated.

The female gasps, clapping her hands and jumping. "Oh my god oh my god you look amazing Lo!!~"

"Oh my god, you look so cool Logan!!" Patton squeals.

"Oh right! Voices and eye color!" Roman yelled happily, he squealed making his voice more smooth and respectable as he kept the childish under tones. Roman gasps "I can sing heathers!" He taps his eyes like the mother from coraline as his eyes turn more of a reddish brown most common in the fall with almost unnoticeable gold flakes glittering in the right lighting.

"Did you just make yourself british?" Vee says, raising his eyebrows.

"Just a tad!" Roman says back defensively.

"Ooh you're right i'm changing my voice a little!~" Patton says, raising the pitch of his voice so it didn't sound like the others but was still his dadly self.

Virgil ran back into the room grabbing Romans arm pulling him into the hallway. The others were busy getting ready as Vee had started explaining to Logan, Deceit, and Patton how their father was going to interrogate them on their jobs. He said just let him and Raven talk, Raven was in the kitchen practically having a breakdown over if the food was good and if the counters were clean enough thomas was trying to help best he could but as stated before he's not much of a cook. But Virgil and Roman were in the hallway. Virgil had pulled him away and had shown him his new teeth. He had fangs and he couldn't change them.

"Oh my god they are adorable virg-!" Roman was shut up with a hand over his mouth.

"Do you know how to be quiet?" Virgil growled, Ro shook his head no. As Virgil choked back a laugh. "Maybe it's a darksiders thing?" Virgil whispered under his breath.

"What?"

"Nothing." Virgil ran into the living room as Roman followed behind. Virgil grabbed deceit making him drop his book.

"What the hell?!" Dee shouted showing he had fangs too. Virgil lifted up deceits lip showing that Dee also had a cute set of fangs. "Virgil what the hell are you doing?"

"Ah so you have them too!" Virgil said quickly Dee was very confused until he licked his teeth.

"Oh you're talking about your fangs?" He said questioningly, the other nodded. "Scared of your connection?" Dee said quietly, Virgil nodded in response as Logan watched the interaction curiously. Virgil huffed looking away from the group and letting go of dees shoulders. Vee of course walked into the kitchen to his sister, she turned around to him. Virgil grabbed his sister by the shoulders and lightly shook her.

"Fangs." He said simply and she looked at him confused. Thomas now looks at the strange interaction. "Fangs Raven, fangs." Raven took his arms off her shoulders and gave him a confused wtf look. He then laughed and hit himself in the face. "Our dad is gonna kill us." He said simply.

"Virgil damien cotheran, please calm down." she said. "Go explain more please." she said sweetly.

"Yep. Okay." His face was worried, more worried than usual. "I'm going to get disowned."

It was about an hour of Raven and Thomas cooking, but more like Thomas being a character that was listening to Raven tell him instructions. Vee was explaining to the sides what they should say and what they shouldn't and also trying to explain how to pretend to be regular humans.

"Absolutely no use of powers, at all. Just like the original rules." Vee points at all of them. They nod you hear the doorbell ring and everyone in the house screams. Virgil jumps up behind roman who out of instinct grabbed his sword then sighed and put it away.

Vee goes over to the door, opening it to show a man in his late 40s, he was taller than Raven and Roman he had black and peppered hair with a goatee and a mustache. The man looks down at the boy, who gives him a smile. "Greetings, fatherly figure."

The other male looks at his son "Hello spawn." he says giving a noogie to the purple haired figure.

"My fucking hairrrrr." He whines as the father messes it up more and more. Vee steps out of the way to let his father inside as he grabs one of the suitcases that he had sitting on the doorstep.

The father comes inside the house, into the living room where everyone was at. He scans the room, before meeting the eyes of his daughter. He narrows his eyes at her, as she does so back. She takes a step forward, as he does so as well till they are a few feet away from each other.

"Father." She says to the taller male. He crosses his arms, a stern look on his face.

"Daughter." He replies just as monotone, as the two glare at each other. The tension seemed to be thick. The sides and Thomas started to sweat as the brother took the bags to the guest bedroom seemingly unfazed by the behavior.

"You seem to be just as old as ever." She starts, looking at him up and down. The father tilts his head slightly, giving a small smirk.

"And you seem to be as bratty as ever." He grimaced.

"Ah yes I'm sure of that father. I do, try my best." She says at the male figure towering over her. After a while of glaring, they burst out laughing. The father wraps her into a hug, rubbing her head. "Awww, look at my little girl!!~"

"Dad!! My hairrrrr!" She whines and he just laughs in response. The sides seem to all let go of a breath.

"So you repainted I see." He says looking around the house. "And you're living in a house of 6? 6 men. Where are your girl roommates?"

"I told Roman he should have pretended to be a girl." Vee says walking out of the guest bedroom. Roman dramatically gestures being offended. The father chuckles.

"So which one is your boyfriend?" He asks the son. The son scoffs.

"Dad none of them!" he says offended. "Just because I'm gay, does not mean I'm a whore!" He says playfully punching his dad in the arm. "Raven is in a house full of guys and you didn't think she would be at least dating one of them?"

"Because she definitely understands she has no time for them whatsoever and that none of them should even think about making any moves unless they want to never talk to her ever again." He states coldly, looking over at the daughter who nods rapidly, shivers going down her spine.

"Hi, I'm Thomas." Thomas says walking up to the father to shake his hand. The father smiles holding his hand out meeting the others.

"Oh look at that, very polite. Hi Thomas, I've heard a lot about you." He says smiling and shaking his hand.

"Hello there sir, my name is Patton! It's a pleasure to meet you!~" Patton says cheerfully, giving him a handshake and then a hug. "I would totally give you a Patton the back for being such a great father!" The entire room sighs except for the three parental figures.

The prince walks up to the male, giving a bow. "Good afternoon Shire pleasure to meet your acquaintance."

"The actor Roman I presume? Are you in cosplay?" The father asks.

"You're correct father," Vee says quickly, stopping Roman from saying anything. Roman shoots him a glance then nods at the father.

Logan looks over at the two, walking up to the father. "Greetings sir, my name is Logan. It is a pleasure to be acquainted with you."

"Greetings Logan, maybe you hanging around my son will help him with his horrible grammar." The father says, shaking Logan's hand. Vee scoffs, muttering the phrase 'rude' under his breath.

"And um, that over there is Dee," the daughter states pointing towards the snake, using his nickname as to not being received weird looks from her father. "And that guy over there is the other Virgil I talked to you about!~"

"You talk about me?" The boy in question states.

"Of course I do, you are like a son to me kiddo~!" She states, patting his head.

He hisses at the gesture. "Stop it."

"I mean, it would make sense since her and Patton are kinda like a married couple." Roman adds, giving a smirk.

"Inaccurate." Logan says pointing at the female.

"How so?" Roman asks, confused.

"They are neither married or a couple." Logan says rolling his eyes.

"Its an expression dum dum." Virgil says not looking up from his phone.

"Should I add that to my cards?" Logan asks Roman. Roman nods pinching his nose bridge.

"Oh my god Raven the food!" Thomas says quickly going into the kitchen and waving the smoke from the almost burnt mashed potatoes. She squeals in shock, racing after the male. Vee suppresses a chuckle as Patton races into the kitchen as well.

"THE FOOD IS OKAY KIDDOS!!" He yells running after the pair.

"The food is fine, it's just... a small tad over done." Raven yells into the living room.

"Mmm burnt chicken." Vee says walking into the kitchen to do his job as drink man.

"It is not burnt!" The sister yells at him.

"So Logan did you teach at a school around here?" Tony asks the nerd, Logan freezes not knowing what to say.

"Yes he worked at a college library in Gainesville before we moved here, I was actually working with him there for a while as well." Deceit for once was good at his job and helped logan out while just reading his book.

"Yes, that is correct. However, unfortunately, I recently just got laid off." He explains, as Tony gives a nod.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Tony says, as he remembers something and snaps his fingers. "Ah, well actually! You are just in luck. I have this friend of mine who works as a professor at this college. He needs a teacher assistant, or someone to help him out! If you're interested, I could give him a call about you." Tony states, as Logan looks over at Roman.

Roman gives Logan a silent nod telling him to take the offer. "Oh that would be wonderfully appreciated. Of course I could fax them my resume if needed."

"No need, him and I are close buddies and if you want the job it's yours." Tony smiled, placing a firm grip on Logan's shoulder, practically shaking the male back and forth.

Raven overhears the conversation as she takes out her notepad, checking one of the spots in her checklist. "Brunch!~" The female chirps out.

"Oh? And what did my snugabunny make?" He says walking over to the kitchen to help bring out the food.

"Daaad!! Don't call me that in public!" raven pleaded in the kitchen as thomas quietly snickered.

Logan looks at Dee bringing his voice to a whisper, "what was that?" he asked quietly.

"What? Me helping you get out a sticky situation. Oh I'm sorry did you not want to make sure you had a good impression?" Dee waves his free hand around. Roman rolls his eyes.

"Looks like you can actually lie well, that's a surprise." Roman scoffs. Dee growls at him making slight banter.

"Please both of you stop being pillocks for two seconds?" Logan insults both of them, deceit rolls his eyes.

"I'm not, a stupid person and dont use british slang on me you twit." Dee fires back Roman stands in the middle.

"Are you guys insulting each other in british slang?"

"Maybe." Logan mutters, adjusting his glasses.

"What the heck, I mean I'm the one with the british accent here!"

"Yes this is one of the things i was confused about earlier, why british when you speak spanish?" Virgil says, finally tuning into the conversation.

"Because britain still has princes and princesses and I think it's hot mi rey."

"You know I don't speak spanish stop with the spanish nicknames." virgil huffed. The other virgil was now in the room by the table setting out the two liters and jugs.

"But I do, and Roman you need to stop being so plain." The other insulted. Roman made an offended squeak as his pride was insulted.

"Escucha aquí twirp, dile cualquier cosa y arruinaré tus posibilidades de tener una vida amorosa." Roman says (

"Lo haré yo mismo gracias, tengo el poder ahora idiota."

"Ooh I know that one, he just called you an idiot." Virgil remarks looking at the conversation.

"¿De qué están hablando en español?" Tony replies, drying his hands from washing them in the kitchen.

"Oh nada importante padre." Vee replies. Raven walks in whining.

"Please stop speaking spanish I don't know that." the sister whines.

"It's not my fault Gwyneth taught you filipino and not spanish." Vee says sticking his tongue out.

"No hemos terminado con este chico de conversación." Roman mutters at Vee. Vee rolls his eyes.

"Maghintay ka lang hanggang sabihin ko kay Gwyneth ang sinabi mo~" She states, setting the table.

"You are not telling gwyneth. Angry asian moms are scary please don't." he pleaded

"Oh oo ako!" She says, giggling.

"Absolutely not." he crosses his arms.

Thomas looks at the entire group, dumbfounded. "What are any of you guys saying?"

"Here's what i got, Vee knows spanish and so do their dad, Vee and roman are gonna talk about how they are both idiots at a later time, and Raven knows a language that her mom knows... fillopino."

"It's pronounced filipino."

"Right I totally knew that-" Patton says, smiling with his eyes closed like an anime character.

"That's a lie, I don't even need Dee to tell me that." Virgil says now putting his phone away and adjusting his jacket.

"Okay everyone, lets eat!!~" The mom friend announces, clapping her hands.

The group sits down, Tony between both of his children, as everyone takes turns grabbing food. Tony clears his throat, as he gives an eyebrow raise. "So, what are the rest of you guys occupying? I know Logan is a teacher, what about the rest of you?"

"Virgie over here works at Hottopic!~" Roman says pointing at his secret romance.

"Oh, Roman is an ongoing actor!" Raven says quickly pointing at her prince dad.

"Patton is a daycare worker." Vee says knowing the father figure wouldn't lie. The father figure scrunches his face slightly but Tony wasn't looking.

"Like I said before, Thomas is a youtuber like me and Vee." Raven says, pointing the fork at Thomas which he was shoveling a spoonful of mashed potatoes in his mouth.

"Dee was working at the library but he made a little kid cry so now he's working-" Virgil gets hit on the back by deceit making him cough and cut off his sentence.

"I'm in between work at the moment." Dee says twirling around his tea glass with ice in it. Providing a little 'tink' every so often. Virgil looks at him angrily but roman mouths a 'not right now', Virgil rolls his eyes and brushes off the altercation.

"Ah, I see. Well it's nice to know you'll be helping with the bills." You can practically feel the tension in the room rise as Tony says this. The daughter lets out a giggle.

"Geez, dad. You don't need to intimidate them. They are already afraid of you as it is, chill a bit." Vee says, taking another drink of tea.

"Oh, they aren't as afraid of me as they will be when this brunch is over."

Romans face gets a scared expression. "What does that mean?" Roman sputters out in anxiety.

"Dad, we want them to stay, please refrain from scaring them away." Raven sighs as Vee nods in agreement.

"So, what else do you all do as hobbies?" Tony says, taking a bite of chicken.

"Oh! Well, I certainly enjoy baking," Patton says happily.

"And making quite a mess." Logan says at the dad character, to which the dad character laughs.

"Well I guess I could say that we were toast when it comes to that!" Pat shoots Raven some finger guns to which she returns.

"That one was a little bit of a stretch Pat." Dee says taking a small bite of chicken himself.

"Well you could sugarcoat that remark Dee." Raven replies. The table groans annoyed besides Tony, Raven, and Pat.

"Well I enjoy philosophy, I research it a lot and listen to podcasts, but i'm not sure if that counts." Dee says. To which the father nods, looking over at Logan.

"I take research in a variety of things, specifically astronomy and psychology." Logan states, adjusts his glasses.

"Oh me and Thomas work on story lines and cover videos." Roman says gesturing towards Thomas to which Thomas nods.

"I just chill around and listen to music most times. But sometimes I draw, even if it's not any good." Virgil says quietly. Roman gasps.

"You draw?!" Roman sasy exasperated that he wasn't aware. Patton squeals.

"I didn't know that kiddo." Patton says

"Awwe, that's really sweet Virge!~ We should draw together some time.~" Raven says glancing at the side.

"They are nowhere near your skill though."

"Hey, don't belittle yourself like that! I'm sure your drawings are amazing~!" Patton says, not wanting his son to talk to himself like that.

"Hm I wonder if it's anywhere close to what my Virgil draws." Tony says looking at his son.

"Dad!" Vee says embarrassed.

"So what you're saying is both Virgils hide the fact that they draw." Deceit says looking between the two black wearing clothes figures. "Well that's interesting, they are just so alike it's mind blowing." Both emos share a glance with each other then look back at their plates.

"It is quite interesting the irony of how we found out about them needing roommates around the same time that we form- met up asking Thomas about getting a house." Logan catches himself before saying something suspicious, but ponders how the universe simply placed the opportunity in Thomas's lap.

"Speaking of which, how did you all meet? I heard that Thomas helped you find the house." Tony asks curiously.

"Oh we all went to the same highschool in gainesville." Dee says quickly Thomas nods.

"Surprising that your little friend group stayed together after highschool. It's a rare occasion that they stay so... close." Tony searches for the words

"Rare bunch aren't they?" Raven nervously laughs. "Um, dad why don't you talk a little about yourself!" She tries to direct the conversation in another direction. Thomas starts to sweat, especially scared of the conversation earlier with the father's threat. Virgil of course noticies dropping his hand under the cover and snapping taking the panic away from thomas and

"Well, I work in the real estate department as you all know." He starts, taking a sip of his orange juice. "I also happen to have encountered many things in this life, things you boys wouldn't understand. And trust me when I say, if anything happens to my babies, you boys will be dead where you stand." He glares at everyone, to which everyone starts sweating nervously. He then starts to chuckle. He leans back, letting out a small laugh as he crosses his legs. "Kidding, if you boys couldn't tell, I get so bored I amuse myself sometimes."

"Dad me and Raven both know you're not kidding but please stop scaring our roommates. You're gonna give Virgil and Thomas a heart attack." Vee said pointing his fork at his father.

The girl sighs, nodding. "Yeah dad, we want to keep our roommates, you're going to make them think we're part of the Mafia or something." She states, taking a sip of coffee. Vee laughs nervously begging to the universe for the father to not make a remark over the simple fact that they are.

"Yeah we aren't part of the mafia or anything, hunny where would you even get that idea." The father remarks almost making deceit spit out his tea. He chokes instead coughing hunched over the table. Thomas and Virgil look at eachother then back to Deceit. Vee kicks Raven from under the table and she looks at her brother.

"Hey! All I was saying was just he is phrasing it like we are involved with the Mafia or some-" she says then shares a look between her brother. He leans his elbow on the table rubbing his hand over his now growing headache. She lances at the snake boy, giving him a look of how they can discuss it later.

"Kiddo chew your food." Patton says to the snake boy next to him. Deceit inhales deeply.

"Of course pat." He says quickly, letting out one small cough.

The rest of the meal remains silent, as the siblings make eye contact with each other about how much they will have to discuss after brunch.

"Well you all seem to be lovely people, Virgil my boy how about after dinner you give me a tour? I noticed you guys already painted the living room. Good color choice." the father compliments as they finish brunch. Vee nods.

"Oh I was thinking i could make dinner for us tonight Raven, i'll make a big dinner.~" Patton says cleaning up his plate.

"You know what pat how about i try and help you with that tonight raven can give dad the tour." Vee says. "I have that Indian food mix and it's just begging to be cooked."

"No no you can give him the tour." She says, giving a gesture towards her brother.

"But raven, I thought you hate fixing indian food?" Patton asks looking curiously at the pair.

"No no. I insist."

"You know what I think I'll have Raven give me the tour. You wouldn't mind would you sweetie?" Tony smiles at the girl. Vee covers a smile.

"Of course not father!~" She says cheerfully.

They all begin to clean their plates. Roman offers to do the dishes as Raven and her father walk up the stairs. As soon as you hear them enter the library the sides look at Virgil Cotheran.

"Listen me and raven aren't in the mafia." he says, cleaning up the plates and handing them to roman. Everyone looks at Deceit; he nods telling the group that he wasn't lying. "Our father has very very high ties and close friends in the mafia yes but ... we try to stay out of it and not ask too many questions." The group looks back at the walking lie detector.

"Neither of those were lies." Dee says going back to cleaning. The other sides shoot each other glances.

"Well, if Dee confirmed it." Patton states, giving a smile.

"I'm just warning you to keep an eye on what you say around my father, that's why we were so worried earlier. Also why we had you all look different, his friends... might be people we need to hide you from." Vee sighs slightly resenting the fact that they have to hide.

"We will keep that noted Vee, thank you for telling us this information now." Logan states, adjusting his tie and taking a few notes. c

"Do you actually have indian food mix?" Roman asks rinsing plates and loading the dishwasher.

"Oh yes I love indian food." Vee says grabbing the ingredients and the crockpot. "Patton could you fetch me the chicken breasts out of the fridge."

"Oh sure, I've never cooked with you before this is exciting!~" Pat says happily, grabbing the supplies requested. Virgil and Dee nod as they leave the kitchen getting out of the way of the cleaning and cooking.

Roman loaded the dishes in, listening to the conversation, after the table was fully cleared Logan wandered off to the library. So that left the three in the kitchen to cook and clean. "So your father seems to know spanish. And so do you, where did you learn it at?"

"One of the orphanages, then I took classes at school, then dad had connections with the spanish mafia so I picked it up here and there. Didn't really latch onto it until college." Vee got out the cutting board and some peppers. "Pat do you know what i'm cooking? Or do you want instructions?" roman nodded at the answer Vee gave, handing him one of the knives he had cleaned.

"You're pouring this in with the chicken right?" Patton asks, pointing at the chilli sauce. Vee nods in response. Vee grabbed a bell pepper and cut it in half. Then cut a jalapeno up. He put the rest of the bell pepper in a small sandwich bag. Patton gets the chicken out of the packages. Getting his own cutting board and slicing the breasts long ways as Virgil minces the peppers to fine pieces.

"Wow, where did you learn the culinary arts you're chopping better than your sister. And she cooks all the time," Patton says looking over at the precise cutting.

"My m-dina was an amazing cook, and taught me everything I know." He said quietly thinking fondly of the little memories his brain held of his mother.

"Who's dina?" Roman asks curiously, closing the dishwasher. He leans against the counter.

"A criminal," Vee whispered to himself. "Rough topic, a question for another time ro ro." Vee says sincerely, finishing the cutting. He threw them into the crock pot then took the mango chilli sauce and put it into the pot pouring the whole can in, he then put a little water into the jar and swished it around a little getting the reinants out of it, then he poured that into the pot.

"Okay then well it seems like she taught you a lot of cooking skills." Patton compliments, Vee smiles nodding. "Do you want me to put these in the pot?" Patton asks.

"No not yet." Vee opens the cabinet of spices pulling out some garlic powder and some paprika. Then he grabs the salt. "Roman wash your hands and come help us."

They set up sort of an assembly line because of how much chicken there was. We pulled the now chicken tenders down the assembly, Roman doused it in paprika, Vee put the salt on it, and Pat sprinkled the garlic powder and placed and stirred it in the pot. Roman began humming the intro to Hamilton and Pat quickly followed behind. By the second song Roman and Pat were full on singing it and Vee was quietly humming.

It was quickly over as 'my shot' ended. "I wonder how raven is doing," Patton said, closing the lid as Vee and Roman washed their hands.

"Probably fine." Vee responded shrugging.

---time reverse (about an hour)---

The female sighs, mentally cursing her brother for making her the one to tour their father around the house. However, it would make most sense seeing as she can come up with excuses much better than him when it comes to their dad. She gives her dad a smile, explaining the library shelves. "These are the kind of bookshelves that they had on those boats that brought over england colonists." She explains, as her father gives a nod.

"Very lovely indeed, hon. You really organized this place well, hm?" He asks, as she laughs nervously.

"Oh, I don't think I did much." She admits, looking down. "I'm not necessarily that strong, so I couldn't do much of the lifting. I just did the layout and sketching." She giggles, as the father gave her a reassuring smile.

"You did your best and contributed, that's all you have to do. Im proud of both you and your brother." He says, as she smiles. She opens the door, letting her father out before she walks out, only to get bumped into by a familiar male wearing a tie. She shakes her head, giving a small smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry Logan! I didn't realize you were already making your way up here." She apologies, as he gives a nod.

"It's no big deal, do not worry about it." He says, as she remembers something. She looks past him to see if their father was near them, noticing he went downstairs, most likely to her room as she looks at Logan again.

"Did Vee perhaps explain to you all about brunch and my father?" She asks, as he once again gives a nod to the female. "That's a relief. If you would like, I could give you more intel about it, if you wish to be more caught up." She offers, to which he nods. She smiles, giving a wave to him bye as she rushes to her room, scared of what her father will see.

She enters her room, only to find her father opening one of her notebooks. It seems to be labeled 'Roommates Notes'.

"Dad what are you doing!" She says running over to grab the notebook, trying to hide the information about how they aren't real people. "Why are you snooping!" She closes the book.

"So, you think glasses boy is cute?" He asks with a slight smirk and raised eyebrow, as he lifts the notebook up in the air.

"This is why I don't want you snooping!!" She states, using that assumption as to why she was worried about him reading the notebook.

"Aww, sweetie it's okay to have a crush. I think he is nice, I mostly improve on what I've seen so far~" He teases, as she groans and blushes slightly.

"We are friends dad!" She protests, to which he rolls his eyes.

"Mhm sureeee...." He replies back. "Well I like how you decorated your room."

"You should see Vee's room. It's super angsty." She redirects the conversation, steering him away from the notebook.

"I bet it's all purple." He joked but the female nodded.

"You're not too far off." She giggles.

"I'm not that surprised." He chuckles, as he looks at his daughter. "How is Gwyneth doing anyway? Haven't seen her in awhile, I hope she's doing well. Last I heard is she was planning on proposing to Scarlet."

"Oh! She is planning on it this Friday! I'm sure she'll say yes, though." She states, as the father squeals.

"That's amazing, I always liked Scarlet's flowers that she had."

The female smirks, nudging him. "What about you an Chriiiiiis?~" The father lightly rolled his eyes as a light redness dusted his cheeks.

"Level up." He said simply as the daughter laughed and lightly punched him in the arm.

"Pattons room is there, that's the office." the sister points to the rooms opening the door and letting the father glance at both rooms. They then go up the stairs at the end of the hallway. They go to the second floor walking to the son's room. They walk into the brothers room quickly showing it off then moving down the hall to Virgil's unfinished room.

"Virgil is waiting for some plaster filler to come in along with primer. This is the other Virgil's room, he's sleeping in the same room as Roman because of all the dust." The girl explains.

"I'm not the only one feeling the sexual tension between them, right? You felt it too, right??" He asks, as the girl nods and giggles.

"We've made soooo many bets on when they get together, it's so obvious."

"I mean I've noticed and I haven't been here even a day yet." He laughs.

"Honestly they kinda blew it already with sharing the room and also all the nicknames." They walk to Romans door next just showing the father a peak at what it looks like.

"Is that a gold bed?!" The father exclaims.

She laughs, shaking her head. "Wow, Roman's bed frame sure is so realistic, right!?~ I almost thought it was gold too! It's not though, however it is the most perfect bed, worthy of a Prince!!~" She laughs nervously, waving her hands around.

"Where did he even get it?!" Tony says astonished. "I understand why Virgil chose his room to sleep in. I mean look at it!"

"Yknow, Ebay can have some crazy things!!~ Or maybe he built it himself, either way it's a pretty cool bed! Onto the next room~!!" She yelps, dragging her father away from the prince's room, making a mental note to scold the prince later.

They walk to Logan's room glancing inside and shutting the door so as to not disturb his privacy. "And the guest bedroom is downstairs where Vee put your bags in. It's next to the office and across the hall from the closets."

He smiles, giving a head pat to the girl. "Thanks for the tour honey. I'll go take a quick nap, then Ill join you all later. Go have fun with your roommates!~"

"Oki father have nice slep.~" She jokes walking down the stairs where Roman, Vee, and Patton were sitting. She smiles at them actually getting to know him, even if he's not one to open up all at once. Her father passes her on the stairs heading to the room his bags were placed in.
