[] It was a dark morning. It was cloudy outside, and very early. 2nd was wide awake, 3rd was dancing, and Luke was watching TV.
4th skipped into the room. Except it wasn't 4th.
"Hiya." He says, less quiet and shy than usual.
3rd doesn't really notice, so just greets him back, "Oh, hi 4thhhh!!!".
On the other hand, 2nd and Luke notice.
2nd knows immediately what's going on, and Luke is confused as to '4th's' change in behavior.
2nd growled, "What is your problem." He says angrily.
4th looks over at him, "Don't got one, hun~".
Luke could tell something was really off at this point. He stared at 4th.
"You're some kind of impersonator... Who are you...?..." Luke says, barely out loud.
'4th' grins.
"I guess I'm still 5th, aren't I? But now that I'm in 4th's beautiful body, why don't ya' call me 45th?"
He says, laughing. 5th was crazy and had no shame in it.
2nd immediately responds, "No way I'm ever calling you that.".
5th scoffs, "Shut up, hotshot."
"Bet." 2nd grumbles.
5th raises an eyebrow, getting annoyed at this point, and extends his hand out, setting 2nd on fire.
2nd quickly swipes at the fire that he's caught in, eventually putting it out.
"How do you still have your powers in 4th's body?!?" 2nd shouts, now in a defensive stance in case 5th attacks again.
5th shrugs, "I don't know. I guess I can just kinda defy logic? I'm a ghost, after all. How else would I have possessed 4th?" 5th says, not really explaining anything.
"Well, that was helpful." 2nd says, his voice dripping with sarcasm. He groans in irritation and just faces away from 5th, "I'd punch you if you weren't in 4ths body." He mutters.
5th blinks a few times.
"... You can't punch a ghost." 5th says in a whisper.
"Don't correct me!!!" 2nd yells.
5th puts his hands up, "Okay okay, no need to get aggressive.".
"Says the one who literally threatened to kill us if 4th didn't let you possess him."
"What the- How do you know about that?"
"I have my ways."

There was tension in the air.
"Fine, fine." 5th mumbles.
2nd raises an eyebrow.
4th falls to the ground, 5th appearing next to him.
"Oh?" 3rd says from across the room.
"Looks like you had second thoughts, didn't you?" 2nd says smugly.
5th rolls his eyes, "Shut up." He mutters awkwardly.
4th sits up.
"Gah... That was annoying." He says, slowly getting off the ground.
Luke looks at 4th, "Are you okay now?"
4th nods, glaring at 5th for just a second before looking back at Luke, "Yeah, I'm fine.".
5th watches their interaction, then crosses his arms and teleports away from all of them. He's now in the far corner of the room. "...".
3rd glances over at 5th, looking like he wants to ask something, but stays silent.
After a few minutes of pure silence and tension, 5th disappears once again, like last time. Except this time, something makes it feel like he won't vengefully come back to cause more chaos.

4th and 2nd sigh in relief at 5th's disappearance, while 3rd doesn't seem fazed by anything that just happened, and Luke is just worried about 4th. Luke hugs 4th tightly.
4th hugs back, a bit confused, but doesn't question it. Luke was naturally just a kind and caring person.

[] Hours passed, and 3rd was alone in his tiny, broken down room. 2nd, 4th, and Luke were all binge-watching some new show they liked, but 3rd was just being oddly antisocial. Yet no one seemed to question it, or even care.
"Makes sense..." 3rd whispered to himself, leaning against his creaking door.
He slowly pulled out a pocket knife.
"They won't care. They never do.".
