"Yeah, as long as we know we're trapped, we still have a chance to escape." ―Sara Grant, Neva

1. Trapped

"I can't open it, Cool Blue Sky. Omg, this must be my lucky day!"

"What do you mean you can't open it, Matsudaira?" Hotaru said, her forehead knotting.

Hayate chuckled. "And here I thought you're the genius between the two of us."

The inventor rolled her eyes. If only she had her ever trusted screwdriver with her, but no. The wind alice user just had to catch her off guard and now, look at the situation the two of them were currently in. They were now trapped inside a janitor's closet and not a single soul knew where they were. Why did she even think of hiding in here at the first place?

Ugh.

"Let's just wait for someone to get us out, Cool Blue Sky," The wind alice user told her excitedly. "You can sit here beside me. Surely, you're tired from all that running―"

Hotaru Imai groaned inwardly and shook her head.

"―and while we rest and wait for someone to save us, we can talk and plan about our bright future together―"

"What future?" the inventor emotionlessly asked, as her hands dug deep inside her seemingly bottomless pocket. Her communication device must be here somewhere... no. That was the baka gun. Uhhh, no. Baka cannon. Where was it―oh! Got it.

She smirked as she fingered with the device and grinned when the LED light blinked continuously. It had picked up a signal.

A few seconds and some buzzing sounds later, Mikan's voice was heard..

"Hotaru? Hotaru, is that you?"

"No, it isn't, baka," the inventor answered sarcastically as she once again rolled her eyes. "Come help me―"

"Us," the wind alice user interjected.

"―get out from this janitor's closet. The one near our classroom. I'm stuck with Matsudaira here."

The device was suddenly out from Hotaru's grasp as soon as she finished talking.

"Hello, hello. Test mic test. One two three four."

"Ah, hello, Matsudaira-senpai."

"Hello, Sakura-chan!"

"May I just ask how you and Hotaru ended up inside a janitor's closet?"

"It's a long story, but I'll tell you anyway because I've lots of free time and Cool Blue Sky here refused to talk about our future together. I guess she wants everything to be a surprise."

The brunette giggled. "Okay, I get it, sen―oh, Natsume, Ruka-pyon!"

The blonde's voice could also be heard from the device as he greeted Mikan back. (Natsume only grunted as a reply. Pft, what's new?)

"What's that you're holding, polka-dots?"

"Ah, it's one of Hotaru's inventions―ah Hotaru! I almost forgot! Natsume, help me! Hotaru got stuck inside a janitor's closet with Matsudaira-senpai―hey, Ruka-pyon! Where are you going!"

The fire caster chuckled softly. "I think we need to tell him exactly which janitor's closet you meant, polka-dots."

"Eh? Why?"

The wind alice user coughed to get their attention. "Hey, Sakura-chan, I haven't even started telling you my story-"

"Oh, quiet, Matsudaira. And give me that back," Hotaru said, hissing under her breath. She then put the device near her mouth. "Mikan, I'll be waiting for you. See you later, baka."

"Hai, hai~"

Five minutes full of Hotaru's silence and Hayate's constant naggings, the door slammed open and a panting Ruka blocked the doorway with his head bowed and his hands on his knees.

"I-Imai, the door's now open. You can n-now go out," the blonde said in between breaths.

The inventor muttered a silent thanks and went out of the door. Ruka followed suit, slamming the door behind him and inwardly smirking as he heard continuous knocks from the other side of the door.

Oh he would come back for the wind alice user and let him out later. That is, if he wouldn't completely forget about him.

Lol.

A/N: I wrote this while I was literally trapped inside my own room lol the door wouldn't budge and my dad had to take off the doorknob and destroy a small part of the door D: but anyways, I already got out so hahaha XD
