A Normal Day In The Sanders House (All+Thomas+Me)
(This was originally written as the 1K Special for when I hit 1000 reads on Wattpad. this one includes me (as you can see) and I hope you like it.) (Also, no one ever replied to my question, so I decided not to do a face reveal until later.)

The light from the sun slipped through the closed blinds of her room as she snoozed so comfortablly in her bed. As a glimmer fell on her closed eyelids, Magnolia turned over to cut off her alarm that blared obnoxiously in her ear. "Ugh, if this stupid hunk of metal doesn't shut up...!" she complained as she pressed the button multiple times before the sound finally turned off. Evidently, she's not a morning person, but she needed to get up to get on with the day. With that she sat up and stretched her arms and back until she felt a hand on hers. She looked back to find her roommate, Thomas with his eyes squinted open partially and a small smile on his face.
๐๐พ๐คฉ๐๐พ๐คฉ๐๐พ๐คฉ๐๐พ๐คฉ๐๐พ๐คฉ๐๐พ๐คฉ๐๐พ๐คฉ๐๐พ๐คฉ
"Good morning," he uttered tiredly, as Magnolia leaned back over to caress his cheek lovingly. "Good morning, hun," she started, "time to get up." Thomas just moaned out, "Noooo," as he snuggled under the blanket more. She gave a small chuckle at that and ruffled his hair while urging him to get out of bed, "Come on, love, we gotta get up." Thomas didn't say anything, but his next move left Magnolia speechlessly surprised.
Thomas shot up, wrapped his arms around Magnolia's waist, and pulled her into him with her back on his chest. She squealed at the sudden movement and tried to squirm out of his grasp. "Thohomas! Let me gohoho! We have to get reaheady!" she yelled out while giggling. Thomas let out a mischievous chuckle and stated, "Nope. You woke me up, then you were gonna leave me alone. I'm not gonna stand for that." With that, he raised a hand of wriggling fingers to her view and took note of the instantaneous jerks in every which-a-way to escape his hold.
"No! Thomas! Waihaihaihaihait!" Magnolia squealed out, but it was too late. He scribbled his fingers between her ribs as she thrashed around from the ticklish sensations. "Thohohohomahahas!" she screamed out, "Stahahahahap! Ihihi neeheed to get reaheadyhyhyhy!" Thomas rolled his eyes playfully while saying, "Oh, alright," and he finally let her go. But before doing that, he blew an adorable raspberry to her neck at which she squealed before being released from his grip. Still letting out her final giggles, Magnolia and Thomas each got up and ready for the day.
The two made their ways downstairs to find Patton in the kitchen making breakfast. He turned at the sound of footsteps on the stairs and greeted the two with his usual sunny-day smile, "Good morning, kiddos! How do y'all feel about pancakes for breakfast?" Thomas responded for the both of them with his own grin, "Thanks, Pat. That sounds great." Thomas sat down at the table as Magnolia stepped into the kitchen and suggested, "I could help you out in here if you want, Patton." Patton accepted the offer, and the two proceeded to make a delicious meal for the famILY.
๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐
There was enough batter left to make a few extras, so as the last pancake for the initial meal was being finished, Magnolia prepared to make the next batch for later. Patton removed the finished cake from the heat and added it to the tall stack that was made over time. Magnolia got started with the first cake batch that'll be used for later and leaned against the counter while waiting until it was ready to be flipped.
Patton came back in and leaned opposite from her with a sneaky glint in his eyes. Magnolia noticed the stare and questioned him, "Patton, what are you thinking?" Patton stood up straight with the same look as he stepped toward her. He spoke as if nothing was happening, "Oh, nothing much." He placed his hands on her waist, causing her to stiffen her posture slightly. "Are you sure...?" she asked cautiously. He just gave a sinister chuckle at her nervousness but reassured her, "Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you."
Magnolia squirmed a little bit in the hold, "I know you wouldn't, but I don't trust what you're planning." "Oh," Patton started, "and what am I planning, kiddo?" She paused because they both knew what he was planning, but she didn't want to say it. "Come on," Patton teased as he squeezed her hips a little bit, "you know you wanna say it." Magnolia shook her head with small squeaks and whimpers of anticipation leaking from her throat.
"Do you want me to say it for you?" Patton asked with that mischievous look still glued to his face. She froze as he leaned to whisper in her ear, "You're burning it..." Magnolia jumped from shock, turned around and saw that the pancake in the skillet was indeed burning, so she quickly flipped it to find the heated side almost fully black. She groaned from annoyance as Patton slipped his arms around her waist with a small giggle. "It's okay," Patton said, "we can toss that one to one of Roman's guard dogs." She smiled a little at the suggestion, "Yeah, okay." They settled on finishing the rest of the leftover batch later and joining the others to breakfast. Unfortunately, this whole incident left her in quite a huge lee mood...
After breakfast, everyone scattered to do their own thing. Roman went into the Imagination to save a princess, Patton in his room playing with puppies. Logan was working on a project that involved human reaction to physical touch, but he needed an assistant, so he asked Magnolia, and she willingly obliged. He explained that with physical reactions can also provoke emotions, and since he wanted a better understanding of them, he felt this would be a good way to do so.
๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐
Magnolia stepped into Logan's room and gasped slightly at the table that sat in the middle of the room. It was long with soft padding on the surface and straps at each corner. Logan noticed her worried look and assured her, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to not cause any lasting harm on you." That calmed her down a little, but not much. However, a promise is a promise, so she laid down on the table, and Logan tied her down. Magnolia pulled on the restraints and found them good and tight but not to the point where she was uncomfortable.
Logan came into view with a clipboard in hand already taking notes. "So tell me, how is this feeling right now?" he asked. Magnolia glanced around and uttered honestly, "I am kinda nervous. I think that's mainly because of the restraints since I'm not one who loves to be tied down." Logan nodded and copied the answer verbatim in his notes then inquired, "Any other reason to this nervousness that you seem to be feeling?" Magnolia thought for a second and replied, "I think it's also due to the anticipation for what's going to happen with this experiment..." Logan nodded again with a small, understanding smirk as he noted the response.
"Well there's no need to worry," he started, "as I've said before, I'll do my best to not cause lasting damage to you." Magnolia let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "Unfortunately," she froze, "there are some tests that may cause small amounts of pain." She sighed but agreed to them. "Okay," was all she said. Logan gave another nod and stepped out of view for a moment.
Magnolia glanced around again to see where he went but couldn't find him until she felt a pinch on her shoulder. "Ow!" she cried out with a small scowl in her face, "hey!" Logan was quick with his response, "My apologies, as I've said there are some tests that may cause small amounts of pain, so I decided to figuratively get them out of the way." Magnolia appreciated the consideration and nodded in agreement. "I do want to know," Logan started, "how are you feeling right now?" Magnolia was somewhat quick to respond, "Kind of annoyed with the pinches. I get that all this is for your experiment and all, but still."
Logan nodded and scribbled on his clipboard. As they continued more tests, most of them being pinching and scratching at different areas (all of them being appropriate, you dirty-minded heathens), Logan noted all of the reactions and corresponding emotions. Things were going smoothly until he paused after scratching at her neck and getting a squeal and body jerks as a reaction. Logan noted the response and made the same action again with a small giggle coming out this time. Magnolia nervously looked at Logan who had a small smirk on his face as he asked, "How are you feeling now?" She bit her lip and anxiously answered him, "Kinda nervous because of what you might do with the next test, especially from that last result..."
Logan knew exactly what she was talking about, and honestly, that was kinda his plan all along. All of the sides were in on the plan for the day. Of course we know what Thomas had done, but it was actually just a hint to what was happening that day. Remember how Patton left her in a crazy lee mood earlier; that was planned too. "It's a good thing Patton already put you in a so-called 'lee mood'," Logan stated, "it would make the experience more enjoyable for the both of us." When she heard that, Magnolia tugged and yanked on her bonds but felt no movement.
"You could struggle all you want, but you're not going to be released until I release you," Logan teased with an amused and mischievous smirk on his features. With that, he lightly scratched at Magnolia's neck, earning the same squeal and giggles from her throat. "Pleaheahease, Logan! Nohohohoho!" she chuckled out. Logan just snickered at her vulnerable state and moved toward her torso while still giving the light scratches. "Lohogahan, pleahease dohohon't," she squeaked when she saw where his next attack was being placed. Sure enough, her baby giggles turned into adorable laughter (which is what I don't have, it's just for the appeal of the story) when Logan shot his finger under her arms.
"Nohohohoho! Lohohohohgahahahan!" she cried. Logan only teased her some more, "Yes, Magnolia? That is my name." Magnolia shook her head violently as the sensations started to be overwhelming. "Okahahay! OKAHAHAY! BREAHEAHEAK!" she screamed. Logan was quick to stop and let her breathe, "My apologies, I hope I didn't cause you harm." Magnolia shook her head and replied as she caught her breath, "It's okay, I'm just winded."
Logan unlocked her bonds, and she sat up. "I do hope that I haven't damaged our relationship in anyway, Magnolia," Logan said somewhat regrettingly. Magnolia shook her head again and gave him a hug to assure him that nothing had changed, and with a smile on her face, she replied, "I just hope I gave the results you needed and were hoping for." Logan nodded with a faint grin, "You did." With that, Magnolia left his room and went to check on Roman down the hall.
Magnolia stepped into the Imagination and into a vast field of pink petunias. She took in a deep breath and reveled in the fresh and sweet scent of the flowers. It was a peaceful and beautiful feeling, but the feeling was cut short by a presence that emerged behind her. Out of shock and reflex, she summoned a sword with a long crystal blade and rose gold handle. She spun quickly to strike at the figure behind her, only to be deflected to the left by none other than...
"Hello, Remus," Magnolia stated calmly but slightly annoyed. Of course this trash rat had to go and ruin such a peaceful moment. She drew away her sword as Remus hung his mace over his shoulder and spoke, "So, Maggipoo, (don't EVER call me that...!) what brings you to the Imagination?" Magnolia groaned irritatedly at the nickname but still responded, "Looking for your brother. He needed my opinion on something." She turned on her heel and started walking the direction of Roman's kingdom and village. Remus was quick to catch up.
๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐
"Well, he could've always asked me," he suggested. Magnolia scoffed at him, "Ha! And be told that it'd be better if done naked or something like that? No way." "Good idea!" Remus shouted and snapped his fingers to reveal himself shirtless. Magnolia face heated up, and she instantly turned away from him while crying out in surprise. "Remus! Put your shirt back on! Geez!" "Oh alright," he said and slipped his shirt back on as she walked ahead.
Unfortunately, his usual mischief was a bit more heightened than usual today. "Although, I wouldn't mind seeing you with a shirt off," he jested at her. She froze in front of him with her face burning like lava. "I swear, if you don't shut your mouth right now, I'm gonna smack it off!" she cried. She started to stomp away but was stopped by Remus grabbing her hand. "Oh relax, Maggipoo," he said, messing with the hem of her top, "I just wanna see." She quickly spun out of his grip and elbowed him in the gut, "No!" she shouted sternly and started booking it down the hill. Magnolia was fast, but unfortunately, Remus was faster and caught her, tackled her to the ground, and straddled her back.
When she hit the ground, Magnolia's shirt had ridden up a bit, and Remus could see a bit of skin on her sides. "Uh-oh, Maggipoo," Remus teased in a sing-song voice, "I see some skin," and his scratched in circles at her sides with a single finger on each side, causing her to elicit small giggles from the girl beneath him. "Wait, Rehemuhuhus! Nohohohoho! Gehehet ohohoff!" Magnolia squealed out as she tried to grab his hands.
"Come on, Magnolia," Remus teased, "let me see you." He squiggled his fingers around and under her belly, causing her giggles to go into hearty laughter. "REHEHEMUHUHUHUS! STAHAHAHAHAP!" Magnolia screamed as she pounded at the ground. Remus then started switching between tickling her sides to her belly to her ribs and back through the pattern again, all of which leaving Magnolia in stitches. Although she hated the idea, she felt her options were left to nothing but begging, "REHEMUHUHUS! PLEAHEAHEAHEAHEASE! STAHAHAHAP!"
Magnolia suddenly felt the weight off her back, and she instantly curled in on herself while rubbing away to tickling sensations. Once she was able to calm down, she looked up to find Remus and Roman wrestling each other until Remus was pinned to the ground and being tickled silly. "Take that you fiend!" Roman called as he tortured his brother, "Serves you right for tormenting a lovely maiden like miss Magnolia." Roman got off his demented double and carefully walked over to Magnolia, holding out a hand to help her up, and she gladly took it. When she stood up, Roman picked her up bridal style and carried her to his palace as Remus left to his own castle in the other direction.
~Hey, Time Skip. In Roman's bedroom~
Magnolia got some new clothes since hers had grass stains from the incident before. She sat on the bed as Roman came in after she got dressed with freshly brewed cups of chamomile tea in his hands, and he started the conversation. "I do apologize for my brother's behavior," he started as he handed her a cup, "you know how that perverted weirdo can be." She snickered at his choice of words but replied, "It's okay. Knowing him, I'm not really too surprised about that whole thing." She took a sip of her tea, "I'm just glad he didn't see more than he did or needed to."
Roman only nodded apologetically, "I'm glad he didn't do anymore damage." Magnolia looked up at him curiously and asked, "How did you find me, anyways?" Roman was quick to explain himself, "I was waiting for you but soon realized that you were running kinda late, so I looked for you to make sure you were okay. I figured you would've come in through the part with the petunias, so I went to look for you there. I got passed the field to hear the cries of a damsel in distress, so I get over the hill to find my brother with you pinned and being tortured. Surely I had to save you."
Magnolia chuckled at his response, "Well, thanks for coming to my rescue. Also, you said you wanted my opinion on something. What was it?" Roman stood up instantly excited, "Oh, of course! I wanted to try a new fighting technique. If done correctly, it should cause the opponent to be really caught off guard, distracted, totally thrown off, and completely disoriented." As he said this, he snapped his fingers and teleported them to his sparring practice field.
๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐
Magnolia stood with him amazed and asked, "Alright then, what do you want me to do?" Both drew their swords and got into ready position. Roman was the first to attack; he charged forward with an attempted strike from her right shoulder and down, but he was blocked by Magnolia's blade, and the position was held for a couple of seconds. They slashed off to each other's side and hopped back into their original positions.
They continued to spar for awhile until Magnolia got really curious about the technique. She finally questioned him, "Hey, Roman? When are you actually going to do the technique?" She turned to his direction, only to find no Roman there. "Roman?" she called out cautiously as she stepped with her defenses raised. She suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder and turned quickly in that direction to find nothing there. She then felt another tap only to go through the same process again. "Come on, Roman," Magnolia called somewhat freaked out, "stop kidding around. Where are you?"
She then felt a presence appear behind her, so she quickly did a spinning strike only to see nothing there. Suddenly, a pair of arms quickly wrapped around her waist and wrestling her to the ground despite her best efforts to fight off the offender. Thankfully, Magnolia turned her head to find Roman. Unfortunately, her eyes widened when she saw that he had an almost evil grin on his face. He loomed over her and uttered quietly, "Now to make my final strike."
Magnolia writhed and squirmed under his hold in fear until she felt fingers pinch at her side, causing her to squeak at the touch. "Roman, please no," she pleased, but it was a fruitless endeavor. "Nonsense, Miss Magnolia," Roman started. "You know how I prefer to finish off my opponent in the way that I see fit," he slid his digits up and down her side to leave her in writhing giggles as he said this. "As for you, I feel it best to take you down by means of torture..." he paused to leave her in suspense and noticed the fear building up in her eyes. He then leaned to her ear and finished his statement, "...tickle torture, that is."
Roman then scratched his fingers between her ribs leading her to squeal with laughter. "Aaahahahahaha! Rohohomahahan stahahahahap!" Magnolia shrieked as she halfheartedly tried to fight him off. Roman then worked his way up to her underarms, earning him high-pitched, screaming laughter and an aggressively wriggiling body beneath him. "AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! ALRIHIHIHIHIGHT! YOU WIHIHIHIHIN!" she cried out. Roman finally got off her and helped her up. He snapped his fingers again, and they were instantly back in his room.
Magnolia laid down on the fainting couch Roman had against the wall while panting. Roman kneeled down beside her with a glass of water and a regretful smile and apologized, "I'm sorry. You're so hard to resist when it comes to this, and I guess I had kinda overdone it." He handed her the water that she graciously gulped down and asked, "Are you okay?" Magnolia pulled the glass away from her lips; she smiled and responded tiredly, "I'm okay, and it's fine. I've gone through longer, believe it or not. Right now I'm just kinda tired." Roman nodded and replied while picking her up bridal style again, "In that case, let's take you to your room so you may rest properly, Miss Magnolia." With that, they walked out of Roman's room and appeared in the Commons to find Virgil on the couch on the verge of a panic attack.
When Magnolia saw his state, she jumped out if the prince's arms and ran to his side, completely forgetting how tired she was. "Virgil," she started, "I need you to breathe for me, okay?" Magnolia then started the process of 4-7-8 breathing with Virgil breathing with her. Soon enough, Virgil was able to calm down and let out a tired yawn, almost simultaneously with Magnolia. Roman left them alone as they laid down and just cuddled and held each other on the couch and fell asleep. Virgil spooned her while laying on the outside so she wouldn't be the one to fall off if one of them would.
๐๐พ๐ฉ๐๐พ๐ฉ๐๐พ๐ฉ๐๐พ๐ฉ๐๐พ๐ฉ๐๐พ๐ฉ๐๐พ๐ฉ๐๐พ๐ฉ
Virgil woke up to warmth and contentment. He noticed the position they were in and flushed. He also noticed that Magnolia was still asleep also and didn't want to wake her. So, he just laid there admiring her form from behind. She then started to stir uncomfortably, and he saw she want sleeping well, so he slowly and gently caressed the side of her head, feeling her relax under his touch.
He slowly trailed his hand passed her shoulder, down her arms and around her waist. He gently pulled her in closer against his chest, feeling her curl into the warmth a little bit. Magnolia felt so relaxed until she felt something moving on her stomach. Virgil started drawing circles with a single finger just to tease her a bit, and he could feel her squirm a little and hear her mumble a tiny groan under the feeling. He then traced his finger to her side, up passed her ribs, and under her arms causing her to let out a sleepy giggle and little squirms in his hold. "Hehe noho stahap," she uttered tiredly.
Virgil chuckled quietly at the cuteness in front of him, and he started scratching in her armpit causing her giggles to escalate to light laughter. "Nohohohoho," Magnolia squealed out; by now, she was awakened from her nap by giggles and tickles. She recognized the lighter touches as Virgil because he was the gentler one out of fear he may hurt her or go too far. He then scratched down her ribs and lightly scribbled around that area while still leaving her trapped between him and the couch cushion. Endless giggles poured from Magnolia's mouth as he continued this light torture, "Virhirhirgihihihihil, stahahahahap."
Virgil let out another chuckle at her, "Honestly, I'd rather not." He said this as he reached under her shirt and started tickling at her stomach and navel. Of course, Magnolia's laughter skyrocketed at the sensations until she suddenly felt vibrations on the back of her neck. She scrunched up the body part to avoid Virgil's raspberries. "EEEEHEHEHEHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAHAP!" she screamed out. Virgil finally slowed his assault to a stop and rubbed away the sensations while leaving light pecks on her neck, earning baby squeaks from her. "I hope I didn't hurt you, Magnolia," Virgil said nervously. Magnolia turned to face him, shook her head, and kissed his cheek, replying with, "You could never hurt me."
It was late in the day and almost dinnertime, so Magnolia got up andย headed to the kitchen to prepare the food. Virgil stayed on the couch and scrolled through whatever. When she put the chicken in the oven, the vegetables on the stove were almost ready. She stood over them to stir them for a second before closing the lids. She took a couple of steps back until she ran into something and felt six arms wrap around her torso, leaving her arms free, and a forked tongue flicking the back of her ear. Magnolia let out a slightly irritated sigh but still greeted him, "Hello to you, too, Dolion."
๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐พ๐
The deceitful side rested his head on her shoulder and tasted the air, admiring her handy work in the kitchen. "I must say, Magnolia," he started with a smirk on his face, "what you have cooking in here smells simply horrible. You must be ashamed of yourself." Magnolia rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and replied sarcastically, "Gee, thanks. I absolutely live for your criticism." Dolion gave a small chuckle at her answer. "Come, my dear, surely my approval means more to you than that," he responded while squiggling a finger on her side with one of his hands, instantly feeling her squirm at the touch. She smacked at the hand to get it to stop the tickling while saying, "Hehehey, cut that ouhout." The snake-like character gave a sinister snicker and replied, "But, why? Dinner is almost ready." He started using two of his hands to hold up her arms, two to scratch at her underarms, and two to tickle at her sides and stomach while saying, "I'm sure you have a couple of minutes to spare."
Magnolia jumped and thrashed at the sensations while trying to get out of his grasp, "NAHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAP PLEAHEAHEAHEASE!" Dolion gave another sinister chuckle and started teasing, "Tickle tickle tickle, Maggie Waggie. Aren't you just absolutely hideous like this." Magnolia was practically screaming at that point, "DOHOLIAHAHAHAHAN! STAHAHAHAHAP IT!" Magnolia suddenly heard a shriek behind her and felt herself get released from the sneky boi's hold. Falling to the floor, she struggled to catch her breath and looked to see what became of her captor. She was surprised to see that Deceit himself was on the floor with his limbs flailing around as Virgil straddled his waist and tickled his sides and multiple underarms. With a smirk of victory on his face, Virgil confirmed with Dolion, "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times: You and Remus better leave Magnolia alone, or else you'll have me to deal with! Looks like you didn't listen." Dolion was shrieking with laughter as he was going through his torture, "HAHAHA OKAHAHAHAY! I'M SAHAHAHARRYHYHY!" he cried out.
Virgil finally let up, got off of the swindler and walk over to Magnolia to help her up. "Are you okay?" he asked cautiously. She sighed and nodded, replying with, "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." Virgil pulled her into a tight hug filled with relief. Unfortunately, it was short lived because of the oven alarm going off, alerting them that dinner was ready. Magnolia pulled the chicken out of the oven and placed it on a platter as Virgil moved the vegetables into small serving bowls. They worked to arrange the table as Thomas and the other gathered to enjoy the meal. As dinner carried on, Magnolia looked around at the people she grew to love and care about, and she thought to herself, "Yeah, today basically was a normal day in the Sanders house."
