WAIT! Before you click the link, please allow me to explain the AU so you aren't lost!

Hello everyone! So this is something I've been working on with my good friend An or Kitkat from my server for two weeks straight! And we finally finished it! It took a LONG time, but it was worth it. I got so invested into the plant characters that we made up and I hope you do too. 

This part is basically going to be just one long collection of works and fics dedicated to this one AU. So I'll just keep adding onto this one chapter whenever I get a ficlet done that resides in this universe. So if you see I keep reposting this chapter, it's because I added another fic into this collection. I intend to keep adding regular Sander's sides fics like I've done in the past, but that's just whats going on with this particular chapter, so the entire book won't be dedicated to this AU. Don't worry about that. It's just this chapter.

An wrote the Fic that first sparked the AU, so I'm going to put that as an introduction into the world where we would like to take you. We hope you enjoy!

Sander's Sides Floral Fic

Words ~ 4,089 ~

"Welcome to my newest kingdom!" Roman exclaims with a grand gesture as he leads Virgil, Logan and Patton, in that order, behind him.

"This is so beautiful, Ro!" Patton wears a grin as he walks behind Logan and admires the myriad of colors and wonders in the Imagination.

"It does display your creative abilities well, Roman. All of these plants and natural additions make it seem almost feasible that they could exist in reality," Logan chimes in, a small smile adorning his face as well. Roman had definitely wanted to make Logan feel heard when he addressed these issues to the prince.

Virgil glances at everything around him, the strange newness to it all. "It is pretty cool, I guess. But safety is number one, Princey, you know that. So...?"

"You're all too kind! And yes, everything is this wonderous new land is completely safe. Not to mention it's designed to bring out joy from all who enter it!" Roman continues to walk, Virgil letting out a breath of relief at his statement.

A bush with muted purple leaves catches Patton's eye and he takes a few steps away from the others and toward the mysterious plant. He crouches down in front of it, his eyes full of childlike wonder as he picks a single berry off, turning it in his hand to examine it.

It resembled a blueberry but a little bigger, and it was a beautiful and gradient shade of Kelly green. He remembered that Roman said everything was safe so it couldn't hurt, right? He popped it in his mouth, chewed, and melted at the flavor. It tasted like a pistachio muffin!...maybe a few more?

Patton ended up eating about five more berries before he paused, a fluttering feeling appearing on his stomach. He looked down and brushed at his shirt but there was nothing on him. He tried to rub away the sensation but nothing happened. In fact, the feeling was getting more apparent and felt oddly like.. Feathers?

Feathers.

Patton couldn't hold back his giggles if he tried, putting a hand over his mouth to somehow dam them back but to no avail. In about twenty seconds flat, the father figment was lying on the soft grass, curled up and squealing and giggling as the ghostly feathery sensations continued.

Virgil could hear something behind them and quickly turned his head around to see not only a lack of Patton but the addition of laughter in the distance. And also Patton.

Virgil was a blur of black and purple as he raced over to Patton, kneeling beside him and calling out for the other two, who also came rushing over at the sight of Patton on the ground.

"Roman, I thought you said it was safe!" Virgil exclaimed, still confused and concerned as to why Patton was on the ground and giggling.

"It is! I don't know why-" Roman catches himself mid sentence, his eyes locking onto the bush where a small patch of berries was missing from. "...ah. He simply ate some rainbow buttons."

Virgil's eyes go wide. "He ate buttons?! Roman, I swear-" Roman points to the bush and the hoodie wearing side's shoulders slump. "Are those...berries?" Roman nods and clears his throat.

"Indeed they are! Patton has eaten a certain variety of fruit that grows in this new kingdom called rainbow buttons. They have many variations that can affect different parts of the body."

"And how do these 'buttons' affect the body?" Logan asks, half out of concern for Patton and half out of curiosity.

"I'm glad you asked!" Roman walks over to Patton, seeing that his giggle fit was over and he could talk again. He offers a hand and Patton takes it with a silly smile, standing with the prince's help. "Patton, would you care to explain what you felt just now?" Roman inquires, putting on his own grin.

"It felt like feathers all over my tummy. Gosh, it really tickled a lot!" Patton explains with another round of soft giggles as Logan and Virgil's cheeks turn a slight pink.

So that's what Roman meant by 'bringing forth joy'.

"Uh, w-well, that's good to know. Roman, do all of these berries have the same basic shape?" Logan asks as he picks one to look it over.

"They do, but they all have different colors and markings. That one you have there is the Kelly green gradient variety. The color decides what part of the body it affects and the markings tell you what ticklish sensation you'll feel." Roman also picks a berry, holding it out for the rest of them to see. "This particular one targets the tummy and feels like feathers. Ain't that right, padre?" The princely side teases and Patton turns away with a shy grin, nodding.

Virgil stands from where he was kneeling, shoving his hands in his hoodie pockets. "What other plants and flowers and whatever else should we know about?" He mumbles, eying the bush with the same slightly pink blush as Logan.

Roman perks up at this, a shining grin flourishing on his features. "A wonderful question, but I'm afraid I don't want to spoil any surprises. I can, however, show you around the different flora in the kingdom. Come! Let's explore!" And with that, Roman was already strutting down another path, the other three following suit.

They soon reach a clearing in the woods full of flowers, some normal daffodils and daisies but some looked magical, to say the least.

"Ooh, these are all so pretty! What's that one?" Patton points to what could be a bleeding heart flower, save for the claw shaped petals rather than hearts. Logan and Virgil both look at the flower, curious and slightly wary of it.

"A brilliant question, my dear! These," Roman pulls a stalk of flowers from said plant gently, laying it on his palm. "are called monster flowers. Each blossom has a red berry inside that you can eat! They taste like strawberry hard candy, too." He opens one of the flowers and pulls out the aforementioned berry, handing the stalk to Patton, who admires the flowers' beauty.

"What happens when you eat it?" Virgil murmurs, tilting his head as his gaze lingers on the berry. Logan nods at Virgil's inquiry.

"Yes, and how long does it last?" Logan looks at Roman now, eyebrow raised.

"One berry will last you about one minute, maybe two. The more you eat, the longer it lasts." Roman replies as he moves his hand holding the berry towards Logan. "Why don't you try it out for yourself to see exactly what it does, teach?" Roman has a huge smirk on his face because Logan was a sucker for two things; Crofter's and experiments.

"I-If you simply told us, it would be a more simple experience for both of us." Logan's cheeks heat up a little but Roman knew just what to say.

"Are you sure? If I only tell you, how can you possibly know what exactly it would feel like? You wouldn't want to lose an opportunity for possible data...would you?" Roman quirks a brow, still smiling and holding out the berry again for Logan.

A moment passes and Logan hesitantly takes the small fruit and places it in his mouth, taking no more than a few seconds to chew and swallow. For a brief moment, nothing happens, but-

"RoHOhomahan!!" Logan exclaims, his arms suddenly wrap around his midsection and Virgil jumps a bit at the outburst of laughter, looking to Roman.

"Yes, specs? What can I help you with?" Roman responds and then turns to Virgil. "Just give him a minute, it'll wear off soon." He assures, calming the darker persona's nerves a bit.

"WaihiHIHit, nahAHAHAHaha!!" Logan could feel the playful scribbling of claws all over his sides and rib cage, skittering quickly over every spot they could find in that area. A giant grin split Logan's face in two as he continues to fail miserably to hold his laughter in. But as soon as it started, it seemed to stop all at once, leaving Logan leaning against a nearby tree for support as the last few leftover giggles leave his lips.

Virgil can't help but chuckle softly at the logical side's adorable giggles. Logan would never admit it but Virgil knew for a fact that the bespectacled side had an incredible laugh. Patton and Roman were also smiling at Logan's wonderful giggles and Roman spoke up again.

"Well? How was it, calculator watch?" The royal asks with a smarmy tone.

Logan clears his throat, fixing his glasses before he speaks. "It, uh- it felt like small claws. Very small claws. Tickling me." He gets it out in short sentences, attempting to will his blush away somehow.

Virgil grins at this. "What other flowers can Teach over here test out, Ro?" Before Logan can object with a much redder face than before, Roman interjects with a wide smile.

"An excellent question, my dark and stormy knight!" The royal makes his way over to what looks like a belladonna plant, berries and flowers blooming, but the petals were a light lavender color and the berries had a gradient from white to black.

"These are a little something I like to call 'bellapiuma'! But Logan will probably recognize it as-" Roman starts but the logical side interrupts

"Belladonna. You based it off of belladonna?" Logan asks with an almost curious tone. Roman smirks at Logan's interest and continues.

"Indeed it is! But this is completely safe for consumption, I assure you. It fills your tastebuds with the flavor of cookies and creme but the effects seem to escape my memory...perhaps a certain Sherlock Holmes could help us solve this case?" Roman wonders aloud, sneaking a crafty glance toward a very conflicted Logan.

"I- Roman, you-" Curiosity wins out and Logan plucks a monochromatic berry from the bush, examining it for any blemishes. "How dare you use the great detective against me?" Logan murmurs to Roman, popping the berry into his mouth.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Roman purrs, watching the other eat the berry and stepping back over to Patton and Virgil, chuckling to himself. He whispers to the two of them as Logan's cheeks turn slightly pink.

"Bellapiuma means 'pretty feather' in Italian. Eating one of those berries causes the feeling of tickling feathers. It starts at one general area and slowly zones in on a specific spot but let's watch it in action, shall we?" The prince nods toward Logan, who was currently clamping hs mouth shut with one hand to try and hold his laughter in.

It started in Logan's legs, causing him to lean against a tree as giggles start to pour out of his mouth. The sensation of the many feathers, some stiff, some fluffy, were scattered all across his upper and lower legs. "Rohoman, what's hahappenihing?" Logan calls out, sliding to the ground as his laughter increases in volume.

"The feathers should focus on one spot in a moment, Logan, don't worry!" He yells back to the other, wearing a snarky smirk.

"Romahan, whahahAHAHAHA, NAHAHAhaha!!" As Roman had told him, the feathers honed in on his calves, some flicking quickly and some running up and down the skin slowly as cackles bust out of him, a smile spreading across his lips as he tries in vain to rub away the seemingly nonexistent ticklish sensation.

Patton, Roman and Virgil all smile as well. It was always nice to see the serious side let loose and laugh when he could and they would all be lying if they said it wasn't cute.

Logan's laughter soon turns into silent, hysterical giggles, curling in on himself as his cheeks turn a deep scarlet. The feathery feelings soon fade as well, leaving him on the soft grass taking deep breaths intermingled with giggles. Patton moves through the flowers carefully, kneeling next to Logan with a gentle grin.

"You doing okay, Lo?" Patton asks as he offers a hand to Logan, who takes it and sits up, nodding.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine." Logan takes a final huge breath, straightening his tie and adjusting his glasses as Patton helps him to stand, the duo making their way back to Virgil and Roman.

"Let's find another area, something a little more calm." Roman gives Logan a sympathetic look, gently patting his shoulder, the bespectacled side nodding and smiling softly at Roman. The prince returns the smile, leading the others to a different part of the kingdom.

---------------------------------------------------

The four figments happen upon a rather relaxing scene; a small pond with a cherry tree next to it. The usual light pink sakura petals are colored a deep red, almost the same as a rose, with the cherries now the color of the flowers.

"This seems like a pretty peaceful spot, Ro. We can recharge and rest up for a little while!" Patton states excitedly, walking into the clearing, the rest following suit.

Roman nods and sits on a nearby rock, letting out a sigh of content. "It is very peaceful, yes."

Virgil stakes his claim under the tree, leaning against the trunk and Logan sticks with Patton, the two of them sitting in the grass near the pond.

After a few minutes, Virgil looks up at the cherries and then calls to Roman. "What are these, Princey?" He nods up at the tree.

"Hm? Oh, those are cheery cherries! I believe they taste like cherry jubilee. They don't have any direct effects, either." Roman explains as he removes his boots, stretching his legs a bit.

"Huh. Couldn't hurt to try one..." Virgil mumbles to himself, standing and grabbing a single cherry from a low branch. It looked like a normal cherry, aside from the light pink color, but slightly bigger. He puts it in his mouth, biting down on it and- oh. It did taste like cherry jubilee.

...Maybe a few more couldn't hurt?

But he should've learned from Patton's earlier escapades. After eating about four cherries, Virgil hums in content and leans against the tree again. Roman, noticing just how many fruits he had eaten, wanders his way over to sit next to the anxious side.

"I did forget to mention one little detail about those cherries, by the way." Roman pipes up, trying to hide his growing grin.

Virgil looks over at the other, his glance wary at the look on his face. "What's that?"

The prince lets his smirk take center stage as he makes a gentle grab for Virgil's ankle, causing the other male to yelp as his leg is trapped in Roman's grip. "Hey! W-wait, what did the cherries do?" Virgil asks as he fights the urge to smile in anticipation.

"Oh, nothing. You know what? Let's find out!" Roman exclaims, sliding off one of Virgil's black leather combat boots.

"P-princey, don't you- wahIHIHihihit!" Virgil squeals as Roman scratches one nail over his socked sole, giggles waterfalling after with no signs of stopping.

"They simply made you even more ticklish than you already were! Which means just this one little finger can give me those lovely giggles that we all adore so." Roman coos, moving said finger up to wiggle under Virgil's big toe, drawing out a snort from the hoodie clad side.

"Rohomahan, dohohon't!" Virgil's smile is unbelievably bright, using one sweater pawed hand to try and cover it.

"Aww, don't hide that sweet smile, kiddo! It's so beautiful!" Patton chimes in, chuckling to himself.

"Padre's right, son of Skellington! It truly is a sight for sore eyes." Roman adds as he changes positions, wrestling his way to rest softly on Virgil's thighs, making sure there wasn't too much weight on him at the same time. "You know, I distinctly remember Patton calling you a little kitten at one point. Let's test this out, hm?"

Just the sight of Roman's devious smirk is enough to make Virgil bust into bubbly giggles but the gentle scribbling of all ten of his fingers on his stomach certainly didn't help either. "Roho, dohon'T, NAHAHEhehihihihi!!" His hands scramble to grab onto Roman's but they don't do much to stop him.

Unbeknownst to Virgil, Roman's plan was working perfectly. "Coochie coochie coo!" The prince teases, his smile softening at the adorable sight in front of him. He suddenly lifts his hands away in the air, fingers splayed out. "Coo!"

Virgil copies Roman's arm and hand movements, immediately pulling them back down with a face full of shyness and a blush like no other.

Patton squeals and smiles at the scene. "Oh my goodness, he's like that one kitten that gets his tummy tickled!" Even Logan nods and has a small grin on his lips.

"It does seem that he replicates the behavior seen in that video, proving Roman's hypothesis." Logan remarks, gazing fondly at Roman and Virgil.

"Sh-shuhut ihit!" Virgil mumbles, hiding in his hoodie and trying to rub away the redness from his cheeks.

"When will you admit how adorable you can be, Virgil?" Roman whispers in a teasing tone, the darker clothed side groaning and hiding further into his sleeves.

"I won't cause I'm not- AHHahehehihi, wahihihihi!!" Roman continues his cooing and gentle tummy tickling as soft laughter escapes Virgil's lips yet again.

"What were you saying? I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of your precious giggles, Virgil. Tickle tickle, little kitten!" The prince snickers as Virgil lets out tiny snorts between rounds of giggles. Roman pulls his hands up again and Virgil does the same, causing the former to smile sweetly and the latter to hide his flushed face again.

"You're too cute for your own good, I hope you know that." Roman murmurs as he moves to sit next to a slightly embarrassed and giggly Virgil.

"Youhu juhust- just you wait, Roho. You're gonna gehet it." Virgil breathes out, sitting up against the tree trunk but still wearing a little grin.

"I'm sure I will, sunshine." The royal stands, smiling, and offers a hand to Virgil, who takes it and dusts himself off, placing his hands in his hoodie pockets. "I think we're ready to head out again, yeah?" Roman asks the other two, who nod and stand as well.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"So rainbow buttons can grow in any environment as long as there's soil?" Logan asks his almost endless questions about these new species of flora, Roman elated to answer them all.

"Indeed! They are quite adaptable and hardy plants, not to mention- PATTON, DON'T!" Roman suddenly calls out, tugging the father figment's arm away from a seemingly normal but large bush with bi colored peonies growing from it.

Patton's eyes widen and he looks at the bush. "Sorry!- Well, it doesn't look dangerous to me, kiddo, why stay away from such pretty flowers?" He asks, tilting his head at the plant.

"It isn't dangerous, per say: nothing in this kingdom is but..." Roman mentally finds the right words. "It's a sentient plant. It feeds off of laughter and it takes close examination to see how 'full' it is. They can tickle someone for close to an hour if they're too hungry."

Patton nods at this, taking a few more steps back. "Good to know, Ro."

"Close to an hour? Could someone pass out 'cause of that thing?" Virgil wears a concerned expression but Roman quickly shakes his head.

"No, I made sure of that. It can sense when a living thing has reached its limits and allows a break to keep the captured creature from fatigue." Roman explains, taking a slow step toward the plant in question. "It's called a Laughter Lure, the flowers can lower someone's guard enough to make them approach it."

"Fascinating." Logan mumbles to himself, hand on his chin in thought. "How can one tell how 'full' it is, as you put it?" He inquires and Roman points the flower in the center of the bush; it was noticeably bigger than the other's at a close glance and was a slightly more vibrant hue as well.

"The head flower is the only surefire way to know. If it's completely satiated, the flower glows dimly." Roman squints at the flower, examining it from afar. "It seems to be pretty well fed, almost full."

Virgil grins as an idea comes to him. "Why don't you show us how it works so we know what to look for in the future, Ro?"

Roman opens and closes his mouth a few times, unable to respond at first but he soon finds his words. "I- well," He then sees Virgil's smirk. "I can see what you're plotting, Hot Topic." He squints at him, pouting slightly.

"Who, me? Plotting? Never." Virgil holds up his hands in surrender, still wearing that smug grin.

Logan catches on, also smiling, and adds, "He's right, Roman. We wouldn't want to be unprepared should we be by ourselves in your kingdom."

Roman can't even rebuke them, huffing a little as he starts to slowly make his way over to the plant. "First things first, no sudden movements! It uses vibrations in the ground to sense things!"

Roman takes a few more steps closer and a curious, harmless vine pokes out of the bush. The prince pauses as the vine seems to turn to face him. It then retracts back into the bush and Roman lets out a sigh of relief. "See? Slow and steady wins the race!" He turns around to look at the others, Logan Patton and Virgil looking back at him in shock. "What? Is something wrong?" Roman asks.

Four thicker and longer vines are poised behind him, the tips of them wiggling teasingly. The other three could only watch in amusement as Roman finally turned around, his eyes going wide. "Uh...can we talk about this?"

The answer was no.

Two vines pull Roman to the grass, a third wrapping around both of his wrists and holding them above his head. "Virgil, I blame you for this!!" Roman yells, twisting and turning only to find no escape.

"This isn't on me! You walked over there, Princey!" Virgil teases, smirking. The two vines that pulled Roman onto his back on the ground are now slowly rolling up his shirt to reveal his belly.

Roman's cheeks heat up to a light pink, biting his lip to hold in his giggles as one vine traces little spirals all over his side, causing the royal to squirm in the opposite direction but not getting far. Another vine slithers up his shirt, drilling gently into his underarm.

"NAHhaha, nahahAHAT THEHEHAHA!" Belly laughter explodes out of Roman's mouth, his whole body wriggling around in mirth.

"Roman almost looks 'pit'iful, huh?" Patton whispers to Virgil, causing the latter to snort and cover his smile with his sleeve.

The vine on his side suddenly takes interest in this new spot as well, using slow and teasing strokes in his other armpit. Roman bucks and flails but the vines are sturdy and determined. "BAHAHAHA, WAHIHIHAHAHA!!"

Logan is extremely intrigued by the plant; how it seems to perceive a person's laughter and its fluctuation, directing vines to draw out louder laughter to feed on. Perhaps he could ask Roman to summon a houseplant sized version for him to observe back in the mind palace.

Meanwhile, Roman is losing his mind, cackling and squeaking up a storm but the vines pull back and stop as soon as they started, leaving the prince a flustered mess on the ground. "Thahank Odihin..."

The other three come over and help Roman stand, supporting him as the prince stands on wobbly legs for a moment. "Doing alright there, Ro?" Virgil asks in a sincere but slightly teasing tone.

"Yes, I'm alright. Let's head back home, yes? I think that's enough adventure for today." Roman admits and Virgil lets out a soft gasp.

"Did Roman Sanders just say he had enough adventure?" The anxious side remarks in a sassy tone, causing the others to laugh. "But I agree."

"Additional affirmation. While today has been...'fun'...it's also been a bit tiring." Logan adds as they all start the journey out of the imagination.

"I guess all these new plants really tickled your funny bone, huh, Lo?" Patton jokes, a groan and two bouts of chuckles following.

~~~~~

And there you have it! The introduction to the world of tickle plants! Now the AU involves seven different plants in total each belonging to Logan, Roman, Virgil, Patton, Deceit, Remy, and Dr. Picani! Basically it all starts with Logan getting that Laughter Lure that he asked Roman for because he wanted to study it. So now you can click the link! Or here's the link here if you are able to copy and paste it! Happy reading! I hope you enjoy 26ish pages of pure tickling fluff (and some angst...)

(A note about this particular universe is that it contains a lot of Sympathetic!Deceit which I don't normally agree with especially when it comes to interacting with the other sides in the mindspace. I sacrificed my point of view for this particular AU though for my friend KitKat and tickle plants...enough said. But please do not expect there to be any Sympathetic!Deceit in my fics in the future.)

If typing this in or copying doesn't work, then please go down to the bottom of the chapter and look for the external link. I know I linked it to the Doc and it should show up down there. I wish Docs and Wattpad were easier to link together. :( Still if you can't find it let me know and I'll see what I can do! Thank you and love you all!

~~~~~

Okay! Now that you've read all that! You can now enter into these mini fics I've written about the figments and their plants. I hope you understand each plant a little bit more and are as invested in them as I am! Let's begin with the first one now shall we?

~~~~~

Roman stood in front of Virgil's door, preparing himself for the vined nightmare that would be waiting for him on the other side of it. He couldn't help but wonder if it was a trap, but Virgil had said he needed his headphones from his room. And Roman, sweet Roman, had told him he would get them for him because of how whiny the darker aspect was without them.

But Virgil of course forgot one small detail, well not necessarily forgot but more like left it out, that he may have notified Jack through Amalthia's fax machine that Roman was on his way.

Roman breathed through his nose as he heard the rustling of vines behind the door. "It's ok Roman. He's not angry at you...not any more. You're just worried about nothing." He talked himself out of his nervousness as he grasped the door knob and opened it. To his relief, the hanging plants vines lay limp from it's pot, looking unthreatening and off-guard.

Roman felt his shoulders relax at this sight and he carefully tip-toed in and shut the door behind him. "Hello Jack." The plant didn't move. "Don't mind me...just...looking for Virgil's headphones." The plant didn't seem to acknowledge his presence even when he took a couple steps.

Roman felt a bit more at ease, taking normal steps instead of tiny steps. "Yep. Just...looking for...his headphones." He reached the table where he normally set them and began to move things. As he moved them however he began to hear something rustling behind him. He jumped and turned to look at Jack, only to find him still looking quite undisturbed, until he noticed one of his vines was out of place.

"What are you doing behind my back, Jack? You better not be misbehaving!" The plant gave a small shake, and picked up a pen to write on his nearby white board.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Roman scoffed.

"Sure you don't. By the way have you seen...oh no..." As Roman was about to ask Jack where Virgil's headphones were, he saw them...right on the flowerpot hanging from the ceiling. Of course Jack had them.

"Oh Noho. I can see right through your trick! I am NOT reaching for those. And give you a perfect target!? Absolutely not!" The vines wiggled slightly, before Jack erased then wrote on the board again.

"You are doomed then. If you decide to reach for l them, i promise my vines won't attack you until you have the headphones in your grasp, but if you don't even try...I shall destroy you now." The vines shot into the air true to his word which made Roman let out a screech.

"Ah! Okay okay okay!! Just let me grab them and I'll be out of your vines." Jack's vines sunk back down to the sides of the pot and beckoned Roman forward. The prince growled and approached Jack carefully, watching every move he made. Once he got to the hanging pot, he stood directly underneath the headphones slowly reaching up towards them, very aware of how close the vines were to his person.

He reached farther and quickly grasped onto them, attempting to bring his arm directly down. It was caught before his elbow could get past the rim of the pot by a vine that was much faster than he determined.

"Ah!!! But I thought you said..." His voice trailed off as he read the board.

"You have them in your grasp now yes?" Roman's eyes widened as he tried to use his other arm to get the vine off, but another vine grabbed onto that arm as well. He looked down and saw two vines wiggle up into his shirt.

"Ah! Wahait! Lehehet mehehe go! Wehe can talk abOUT THIHIHIS!!!" But the two vines reached his armpits and began swirling, slowly but teasingly.

"STOHOHOP!" The plant didn't listen, knowing full well what Roman's breaking point was. He allowed a couple more vines to restrain his feet and a few more to join the others under his shirt, squeezing his sides and tracing around his tummy.

"JAHAHAHAHAHACK!!! VIHIHIRGIL HEHEHELP!! ANYOOHOHONE PLEAHAHAHASE!" Jack showed no signs of stopping, until he saw that Roman was losing his grip on his human's headphones. He slowed to a stop on his vine movements, but not before they tumbled out of Roman's grip, hurtling towards the floor.

Jack was quick to grab them out of the air with the vines he pulled out of Roman's shirt. He forced them against the giggling prince's chest firmly and moved one of his twitching arms to grasp them. Jack then let go of Roman and sent the prince out the door, closing it behind him.

The fanciful aspect huff and puffed to his room, trying and failing to get the stupid grin off of his face. Inside the room Jack settled inside the pot, satisfied with the planned events. A fax came in from the machine beside him.

~My bby okay?~ Alma.

~Yes Alma. He's fine. The headphones almost weren't however. I should've thought of a better place to put them. Maybe hang them on the edge of the pot...oh well. Maybe next time.~Jack faxed back.

~Good good. Hope you had fun! :p~Alma.

~You know I did.~Jack
