“Hey Logan, we’re off to help Thomas with an audition this afternoon. We’ll be back later, alright?”

Thomas’ logical side looked up from the book he was reading to see Virgil standing in the doorway, with Patton and Roman behind him. Logan frowned.

“Hold on, no one told me this was happening. I thought Thomas was going to look at options for a doctorate this weekend.” He rose from his chair. “Are some strangers with fancy clipboards somehow more important than a chance at another diploma?”

Roman came into the room and put his hands up. “Whoa, just chill there, would you? You have to let Thomas have fun sometimes, you know.”

Logan crossed his arms. “And who says that going back to school wouldn’t be fun?” He turned to Patton for backup, but this time the moral side just grimaced and put a hand on Logan’s shoulder.

“Look…we love you, Logan, but…Roman has a point. You know how much Thomas loves acting. And if you keep him from doing it, he’s just gonna resent you for it.”

Logan pulled away from Patton’s touch and glared at him. “I never said he couldn’t do it,” he insisted. “And I know it’s important to him. I’m just saying that he promised he’d get on this soon.”

Roman rolled his eyes. “Okay, but the weekend is longer than just one afternoon, you know. I’m sure he’ll help you find a good one tomorrow.”

“Well, the rules of procrastination and human behavior aren’t exactly in your favor there, but fine,” Logan replied, throwing his hands up. “If you insist that he will come back and work on his grad school search, then I suppose I can allow you to go to the audition. Now, go and do your little dances and singing or whatever it is you guys do. If it matters so much to you all, I will not stop it from happening.”

The room was silent for a moment in the wake of Logan’s sudden outburst. Patton and Virgil exchanged concerned glances.

Finally, Roman broke the silence. “Okay then…so you’re saying we can go? Sounds good to me!” He clapped his hands and motioned for Patton and Virgil to follow him.

But Patton blocked the doorway and turned back to Logan. “Hey, wait, do you want to come with us?”

“Yeah, you could help us find ways to approach the audition!” Virgil added. Logan looked up at him skeptically.

“And besides,” he added, lowering his voice, “I need you around to keep me sane.”

But Logan still didn’t move. “C’mon, we need your help here,” Virgil said earnestly.

Something in Logan’s face softened, and he got up from the chair again, but then Roman spoke up again. “Or, Virgil, a better idea would be to let him stay here and make sure Thomas stays productive. Much better than having him drag us all down, don’t you think?”

Patton tsked and shook his head at Roman. “You’re just full of negativity today, aren’t you? I say we give Logan a chance to be included, don’t you agree, Virgil?” Virgil nodded.

But Logan just put his hands up. “Thomas’ theatre commitments are not exactly my forte. Roman is right–I’d just slow everyone down.”

He started turning back to his work, but when he saw the pout on Patton’s face, he sighed. “Tell you what, I’ll go with you guys this one time just to see what it’s like, alright? Then we’ll never do this again.”

Roman crossed his arms. “Far as I’m concerned, that works just fine for me. But after that, you leave the acting to me, got it?”

“I was thinking the same thing,” Logan shot back. “Let’s just get this over with, shall we?”
