"Virgillllll!" Raven yelled from downstairs in the kitchen holding her phone and waving it as she walked into the living room. There was a loft from the stairs that connected the upstairs hallway to the tall living room. Virgil was in his room down the hall across from the room connected to the library which they were gonna have to buy a shit ton of books for.

"Yes raven?!" Virgil yells as he comes out of his room grabbing another small box that was sitting by the railing to the loft.

"Someone contacted us today!" She squeals in excitement. "His name is Thomas and ... hmm he wants to meet up in person to talk about it, seems legit though." The current man of the house sat the box back down and began walking down the staircase that led to the kitchen and main hallway area.

"Really? Just one guy with five people to house? Seems fishy." his sister was scrolling on the phone. "How old is he? Maybe their his kids?"

"I texted him back asking why in person. Let's stalk his instagram. Why don't we?" Virgil nods in response.

"Well he looks about late twenties and he's hella gay. I mean look at that pride flag." Virgil pulls out his own phone. "He looks really familiar. Is he a youtuber we've seen at a con?" He asked, searching the pictures. He shrugged assuming he could ask when they met.

--- Thomas's house---

"Wait, we are going to meet them in person?!" Virgil yells. Thomas was reading out information about the sister with the ad up for people in the area.

"The last couple of people I tried to explain it to said I needed to go to a physiatrist, so maybe if they see us in person... It won't be as weird?" Thomas was uncomfortable with this idea because only joan and tayln had come over and only Thomas and logan had gone outside to buy groceries and other food-like items. Deceit shifted in his spot at the coffee table, unhappy with the idea even though he understood why.

"I mean maybe they are really nice!" Patton piped up. He had been wanting to get out of the house himself but they thought it might bring about suspicion.

"Yeah that or maybe they will think we are freaks and call the police," Virgil said under his breath. Roman almost agreed with Virgil but still held out hope for something good to come out of this.

"Oh my goodness they typed back." Thomas was smiling because this person seemed really nice. "Her name is raven and would love to meet up, she asked if we should meet here or at their house." Thomas looked at the group for an answer.

"Here, so if anything goes wrong we can blame them and we can hide." virgil replies first.

"Wait, shouldn't we see the house first though?" Roman asks, fluffing up his hair. "Why try and make friends if we don't wanna live there?"

"So we can try and make friends?" Patton asks. "I'm good with going wherever though. Should I start making cookies?" Virgil sighs.

"Okay let's do a hand vote then." Thomas says looking at the room. "Hand up if you wanna go," Patton and roman put their hands up. "If you wanna stay?" Virgil put his hand up. "Logan and deceit come on vote please." Logan sighs.

"It doesn't matter where we go we are most likely gonna be treated as insane." logan states.

"Fine. dee you're the last vote." Thomas says, glancing over at the snake boy.

"As to not tie the vote. I'll vote on going, just because I don't want to spend an hour trying to decide. Sorry Virgil." He says resting his jaw on his hand. Virgil exhales exasperated.

"They are going to hate us. And possibily murder us."

---TimeSkip---

"Virgil! Get your lazy ass out of bed, they are going to be here soon!!" The younger sister yells, finishing up with the meal she is preparing for the guests, dressed and presentable.

"Why did you arrange this meeting so early?" He groans, throwing the covers back over his face.

"It's 2 pm!" She retorts back, sighing as she flipped on his overhead lights.

"AND?!" He had painted his room already so none of the furniture was touching the wall and the light sockets were screwn off. She jumped onto the bed grabbing a pillow and slapping him. "Fine fine I'll get up jeez,"

"Great! You have exactly 30 minutes and 50 seconds to get ready before they get here, 48 seconds, 47 seconds," The girl starts to count down, as Virgil jumps out of bed.

"RAVEN! You know how the concept of time scares me!" he walked into his bathroom grabbing a shirt and some underwear most likely about to take a shower.

"Better hurry up bwuderrrr!" She yells as he closes the door. They've been decorating a little by little but they first started with the furniture that was left over moving it around the house. The living room had huge couches which they kept. Some of the bedrooms had chairs which were then switched around. And in some places there were huge pieces of art. The lady that had lived there had died last year, but the house was quickly bought by the twos father so he could sell it. Turns out everyone he tried to rent too, didn't want to decorate the humongous house so he practically threw it at his children.

Virgil took a quick shower drying off his purple dyed hair on a black towel he had bought. He got dressed in an oversized black tee shirt and threw on some black ripped jeans and a purple beanie. He wasn't tall and lanky, he was just medium sized and lanky. He makes his way downstairs, to where he finds his younger sister placing down plates and silverware, finally getting a good look at her get up. She sighs and smiles, placing her hands on her hips and eying the male.

"Finally, you look like you aren't dead!~" She cheerfully jokes, giggling. The female was wearing an off-the-shoulder blue top with a high waist black skirt, accompanied by her bunny themed tights. Her hair was styled with half of it tied up in a ponytail, some of the strands still around her face frame. To top it all off, she added some light blue makeup and pink lipgloss, as well as a blue bow in the back of her hair to put the whole look together.

"Didn't know that when you said 'meeting our potential roommates', you also meant 'meeting your Prince Charming'. We're just meeting these guys, you didn't have to get all dressed up for it." The older brother comments, giving his little sister some pats on the head.

"Oh, shush. We have to make a good impression. We WANT them to think we're okay people that have our lives together until they realize we arent after they are already stuck with us. And besides, it could turn out to be like that. It could turn out to be a romantic meeting, 'We started out as roommates, as we suddenly start to spend more time together and find out our mutual connection and longing for each other'! It would be a way better love story than Twilight." The female daydreams, sighing as the older brother rolls his eyes and flick her on the forehead.

"You are like so much of a hopeless romantic and sweet talker, it's like I could get cavities just listening to you. You need to calm the fuck down." he says, rubbing her head. "It's not going to be like one of those Wattpad or fanfiction Ravieen. Were not some main characters to some love story."

The female huffs, "Dont ruin my fantasies, it's nice to have a little hope. Now c'mon, help me finish setting the table and we can wait for them to get here!" She says optimistically, handing her brother some napkins and other things.

---- Virgil's POV----

We had stuffed ourselves into the car. I drew the shortstraw so I was sitting behind the driver's seat on the floorboard. I huffed as Roman laughed sitting cross legged in the seat above me. "I hate all of you."

"Aww kiddo don't act like that this is going to be a fun adventure!" Patton clapped his hands from the passenger's seat. Logan groaned.

"I dont get why you had to bring us." He said adjusting his tie from the middle seats between roman and deceit. They all were sitting uncomfortably.

"Guys we already explained this plus its free lunch so buck up." Thomas said turning into the road that google told them too. His eyes widened.

"THERE'S A GATE!?" Patton commented happily yelling, making Thomas stop the car suddenly. Making roman and deceit screech from the back.

"Pat do not yell while people are driving!" I yelled back. He nodded.

"Sorry kiddo," Patton wheezed, giggling.

"Oh fuck theres a gate." Deceit whispered.

"Im sure its fine we just tell them that we are meeting some friends ...for a party." Thomas stated uneasy. "Roman get the blanket and cover virgil so we don't get in trouble for no seatbelt or whatever." i huff.

"Ooh yes more lying thomas." Deceit hisses. Logan gives him a look to shut up.

Roman grabs the blanket, chucking it at me. I sigh, putting it over my head. "You're sitting here on the way back roman." I hissed as Patton instructed us to quiet down.

I can feel Thomas pull to a stop as he rolls down his window. "Hi yes we are here for the Coo- Cathermans- no Cothermans. They just moved here a couple weeks ago." Thomas says anxiety rises in him. I quietly snap making it dissipate from his emotions. I hear a lady from outside the car begin to speak.

"Address?" She asked as I heard Thomas get out his ID.

"63 Island Estates Pkwy." I hear some rustling. Then a beep as I hear the gate open. He says thank you quickly and rolls up his window.

"Oh thank jesus that was fine." Thomas exclaims. I take off the blanket throwing it at the prince really hard in the face.

"Ow!" He says I snort in response.

"No roughhousing in the small car please." Thomas says from the front.

"Holy shirt balls!" Roman yelled looking out the window. Everyone was looking out the windows.

"What? what is it sir-sing-a-Lot?" I ask, not being able to see outside.

"These houses are huge! No wonder they needed a bunch of roomates!" patton exclaims from the passenger seat.

"These houses are quite a lot of square footage." logan says leaning around romans shoulder.

"Your destination is on the right." siri says from the phone.

"The ad makes a whole lot of more sense now." Thomas says quietly. The car comes to a stop and he puts it in park.

----- the siblings pov/ third person.-----

The two finally set everything up, as they hear a knock and their doorbell ring. The older brother starts to panic, quickly putting his finger on his nose. "Not it, nose goes!" He yells, as the younger female rolls her eyes chuckling.

"Yeah, yeah...I know the fucking memo, you dont like talking to new people. I wasn't going to make you answer the door anyway, dumbass." She states as she walks over to the door, peeping in through the peephole to check if it was the potential roommates. Luckily enough, she sees the male she chatted with through Instagram, as well as the other people he was discussing with her about. She takes a deep breath, calming down her nerves before opening the door and giving a big smile. "Hello there, you must be Thomas!~ It's such a pleasure to be meeting you in person! And these must be the friends you were talking to me about! Please, come in and make yourselves comfortable!" She happily stated, opening the door wider as she resisted the urge to hug them.

"Oh my gosh, it's so nice to meet you too Raven! Thank you for having us over!" Thomas exclaims, coming in as the other people started coming in as well. First it was Thomas, then a lookalike Thomas who was wearing a blue shirt and gray cat hoodie wrapped around his shoulders, who gave her a smile and wave. Then a male who also looked like the other two wearing a prince costume gave a quick bow, a man who wore a blue tie and glasses gave a quick nod, a dude who had a look pretty similar to the female's brother just walked past her avoiding eye contact, and finally a male who looked like all the previous ones just with fake realistic scales and hat just walked past her as well, keeping his eyes straight forward. She starts to contemplate who the fuck she just let into her house, but kept an open mind about it. Maybe some of them have jobs that require them to wear a costume. And they all could be sextuplets.

"Sis, did I take my meds or...?" The older brother says from the kitchen that was on the right of the doorway and wide open hallway leading into the house. He rubs his eyes. "Oh my god wait, I know why you're familiar.... Wait, they are real?!" Thomas scratches his head.

"Virgil, please try to not yell...we don't need anymore noise complaints from Linda."

"Wait there's two of them," the prince says pointing between the virgils nudging the one he already knew.

"Wonderful, because I would just love to deal with another MCR Emo, very lovely!"¨ Deceit states sarcastically, clapping his hands.

"Great two minutes in and i'm already getting anxious to leave." The brother says looking between all of them. (oh my god I love him - v)

"Deceit buddy, be nice to them!" Patton scolds the snek boi. Raven laughs nervously. Thomas's face twists into being uncomfortable.

"Okay, everyone! How about we just sit down for lunch and we can talk this over some food." She smiles putting on a brave face to save the meeting. Roman walks around backwards admiring the exquisite house. Thomas nods desperately. "Virgil, how about you go fix the iced tea while I show them to the dining table?" She says, giving him a look saying that she wasn't really asking, more so demanding. The other virgil looked up surprised and then puts his head back down realising she was talking to the other virgil. He nods in reply he walks off to the kitchen checking the medicine cabinet first to see if he had taken his meds for this week. Which he had.

He scratches his head confused. Sighing he went and grabbed the huge pot of tea from the fridge which had ice cubes in it, he also grabbed the big jug of iced lemon water that raven adored so much.

"So, we can all go take a seat and discuss this over lunch! I prepared food for you all, however I don't know what you all like so I made a wide variety, as well as some pastries like brownies, cupcake and cookies-" The female got interrupted by quickly banging her head against the wall, giving a quick yelp and shaking her head. "Im okay!!" Patton immediately rushed over.

"Are you good kiddo?" He said checking her forehead where she hit it.

"Yeah, I'm okay really! I'm just too clumsy for my own good- god that was really embarrassing!" She laughs, blushing a little from embarrassment."Wall, I guess I should've seen that coming...guess i need to think ahead of things before it gets too straight forward...~" she lightly jokes, hoping to get a laugh from the others. She hears some silence before hearing the purple hooded boy snort and the worried dad starts laughing.

"Oh god there's two of them." Logan whispers under his breath.

Virgil comes back out of the kitchen worried then realising it was just his clumsy sister and she didn't just get hit by one of the sides in the face like he thought. He exhales shakily as he had both pitchers of liquid in hand.

"Okay where should we sit Snow White?" Roman says looking at the sister.

The female sighs, shaking her head. "Even with dyed hair, I can't escape the nickname." the older brother snorting at the fact someone immediately caught onto her personality traits.

"I mean, you did go and major in musical theatre in highschool." he says placing the liquids down on the table gesturing for them to sit at the already made table.

"That's only one fact!" She says back.

"Alright Miss 'I worked as a Party Princess and played Snow White mostly'" he sarcastically retorts back, making the female flick him on the forehead.

"Fine, whatever you say Hottopic." she states, sticking her tongue out at him before remembering guests were over, before clearing her throat. "Oh, right! You may sit wherever you want or where you are comfortable."

Logan sits down at the table first noticing the fine craftsmanship.

"Oh this table is remarkably old style from the beginning of Florida as a colony. They had these on ships when they came from Spain and Europe. Where did you acquire this piece of polished carpentry?" he asks, lighting up.

"Oh there was an old lady that lived here about a year back, she had a bunch of old furniture like this. Most of it is in storage on the third floor but i was planning on moving most of it to the library." the shy older brother started pointing up to the loft with his thumb. "They all are in really good condition, I have no clue why her kids didnt wanna take them when she died."

The rest of the sides sat down as Thomas was still standing. He looked over to Raven. "Do you need help bringing the food or anything?"

"Oh, you don't have to! You guys are the guests, I got this!" She states, before her brother covers her mouth.

"Please do so, I don't need her dropping anything again." To which the girl removes his hand.

"I'm not that clumsy!"

"You tripped in a car with the seat belt on because you were so excited about disneyland that you forgot to take it off." He scrunched his eyebrows at her.

"YOU MAKE ONE MISTAKE AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS."

"You guys are gonna fit right in with these losers." Deceit said aloud, not joking but in his regular demeanor.

"You're not wrong." Thomas replied. "Come on i'll help you with the food." he says looking at the sister. She rolled her eyes but smiled at the nice offer. She walked off to the kitchen as Thomas followed. The sides sat down at the table.

"Nice name choice." Vee shot finger guns at the other virgil sitting down next to the prince. The other one laughed.

"I like yours too," The one wearing the jacket replied.

"So how did you guys.. End up real?" He asked. "Wait, I'm sorry is that rude?" his expression was scared as he finished his statement.

"No no it's fine, it's not rude but we don't really have an answer to that either." patton replied.

"For lack of better words, it kinda just happened?" The prince said.

"We were just hanging in the living room and then Thomas saw us and called Joan." The other virgil chimed in.

"My theory has something involving the fan base around Sanders Sides," Logan starts, clearing his throat and pulling out his notepad. "Since the series has become so popular, it can be theorized that something behind that-" He gets interrupted

"Woah woah woah there NerdTheory we don't want to go breaking any fourth walls." Roman said, shushing him.

"Please don't break any walls we just moved in here." the brother said worried. Starting to pour out a tea glass for himself. "Get whatever you want for the drinks by the way i got them out for a reason."

"Who is hungry!?~" The female asks, coming out with Thomas as they start to place down multiple huge plates filled with food. There was pasta, steak, grilled chicken, and small sandwiches. "Sorry if some of this is not to your guys liking, i really didn't know what you guys liked to-"

"Oh raven this looks wonderful don't sweat it." Patton said immediately, cutting her off smiling thoughtfully. Raven places down the last plate then scratches the back of her neck.

"Aww thank you."she then looks up at the ceiling realising none of them introduced themselves. "What are all of your names by the way? We never properly introduced ourselves, as you know my name is Raven and my brother's name is Virgil." he waved. "I know Thomas, of course." She smiles widely again, taking a seat at the end of the table.

"Oh right how rude of us. My name is Roman, I... was? Thomas' creativity." he looks thoughtful. "Are we still?" Thomas shrugs sitting down in between raven and patton.

"That's a conversation for another time Princey." virgil says nudging his friend in the side.

"Well I'm Patton, the dad character of this group. The other one with the glasses is logan, as you already know the one in the hoodie is virgil, and the one with the hat is deceit. You already know Thomas but how about you two explain how you know each other?" he said cheerfully. Raven began pouring some water in a glass for herself.

"Virgil how about you explain." she wanted to ease him into the conversation a little.

"Nah you're better at stories, you should really tell how tony got the house too." he says grabbing some chicken and a small triangle sandwich. She rolls her eyes at the brother. "Oh maybe if this goes well we can show them around the house."

"Virgil is my older brother,"she starts turning back to Patton and switching her gaze between the room of people. "We've been close since we were kids so when our dad surprised us with this house we took the offer not knowing how big this place was. He's a realtor, he sells big houses like this for a living, helping people find homes that they will enjoy. He was sold this one to fix it up a little. I believe he said they had to rip out some of the electric lines in the house because it had started to eat away at the interior. He hired a couple people that worked on it for months. He planned on renting it out but for some reason no one wanted it so he gave it to us. Am I missing anything?" She looked to Virgil.

"Yes, how the lady died." She rolls her eyes. "Oh come on the woman was crazy isn't it weird that she died from human combustion?" He takes a sip of tea looking at the party guests. "The lady was on the news because she had died from this rare natural occurrence where she caught on fire with no explanation. It was really only weird because her skull shrunk but left her foot just sitting in the ashes of her body with no burns on her foot at all; only the chair she was sitting in was damaged. She practically cremated herself. Don't worry though I'm staying in that room so none of your rooms would be haunted." He explained, he always loved ghost stories and weird deaths, telling them to others was always fun. Raven looked at him with a 'shut up please i don't wanna be the weird ones.' Deceit on the other hand looked quite intrigued, as did Logan, and so did the other emo.

"How could I forget." she responded. "So tell us a little about yourself thomas, you came here to talk about this predicament you are in?" She looked at Thomas as she brought the attention of the conversation back to the matter at hand, and Virgil understood why but didnt know why Raven never liked talking about death with him. It's gonna happen either way.

"Right! Um, you see I live in an apartment and-"

-time skip to after the sides leave-

"That wasn't so bad they were really nice too." Raven said as Virgil was still unpacking things in his room, he had taken the time to work through the storage upstairs and sifted through the stuff they could use around the house.

He took out one of his long lamps from a box labeled lights. "Yes but you have to admit it was very weird." he dusted off the victorian style lamp setting it on his dresser.

"Like we aren't." she was sprawled out on his big bed with black velvet sheets. Along with his purple upholstery headboard. "Also I forgot to tell you how emo your room is."

"Yours looks like an entire anime school girl protagonist threw up on it. At least I'll be able to sleep without thinking of the teletubbies." he waved his hands as he talked. He was dramatic yes but only around people he was comfortable with.

"My room is not that bad!" She yelled as the male giggled.

"So here's the big question. Do you want them to move in? I'm good with whatever you choose bun bun, besides I'm pretty sure you were making flirty eyes at Logan earlier to which he didn't get the memo of."He cut another box open. This one was his microphones and camera box. He got a special cabinet for this stuff that would most likely go in the office later he put it in the glass cabinet which he planned on organizing in the morning.

"Well helping them become and act like real people is gonna be a challenge but I'm sure we can do it if it means we aren't gonna be alone in this huge house. And also, I was NOT making flirty eyes with him! We were having a conversation about famous psychologists." She retorts, crossing her arms.

"Oh sure princess of the tallest tower. I'll let you figure your crush out on your own this time." He shoots back digging through another box of wires and electronics.

"We both know you're probably going to be going after the snake, you furry."

"Oo right where it hurts," He fakes getting stabbed. He goes back to the box pulling out a pair of black bulky headphones. "AHHA I found them!" he exclaims, throwing them beside his sister on the bed.

"You almost hit me, you bastard!"

"But i didn't~" He jokes, before being smacked in the face with a pillow. "Wasted." He jokes throwing the pillow back to the bed.

"Oops, my bad~"She slyly states, giggling and looking at the headphones. "So, I'll start by working on the info for them, as well as helping them get jobs right?" She asks, grabbing her laptop from the edge of the bed that she brought with her, starting to take notes already like she did during lunch.

"Yeah, that seems to work. So they are officially our roommates, right?" He asks, looking at his younger sister who smiles.

"Yep! Now let's help these guys forge fake information about themselves!" She cheerfully states, grabbing her phone and sending a quick message to Thomas.

"Seems like they are our problem now huh?" he says setting up his computer into the outlet under his desk. The girl nods, sending the text message over.

'Well Thomas, the jurys in, seems like you guys are our problem now.

Come over tomorrow and we can activate Operation Roommate Sides!'
