There had been continuous rainstorms over the past few days, but far be it from the school to have enough sense to leave the students at home. When lunchtime rolled around, the rain fell so hard that it seemed a wall of water surrounded the outside world. Although the rain seemed almost like a jail for the students, three young teenagers didn't mind the rain.Instead they made the best of it and used it as a
cover up for their little plan that was about to go into action.

They left their classrooms silently and undetected,as the rest of the students were restless and rowdy from the rain- not to say they weren't always like that. The three students walked down the hallway into room 208, a classroom used for storage.

"I don't think we should do this," said a young boy.He was short for his age, 14, and had short black spiky hair with a pair of matching glasses. He waswearing a yellow shirt with black pants and black All Stars. "What if we get caught?"

"We won't." Said one of the teenagers. She was a yearolder than the others, with long brown hair that waspulled back into a ponytail. She wore a lacy black shirt, jeans, and K-Swiss shoes. "They're too busy with the annoyances inside. Right, Christi?"

"Of course! Filling their unevolved brains with crap!We do need not their crap. Right Ariel?" said the other 14 year old of the group. Christian was hername, but her real friends called her Christi. She was wearing a Black Emily the Strange hoodie that had little red cat ears, along with a red tank top, black pants and skater shoes.

"Of course we don't." Ariel, the 15 year old replied. "You shouldn't worry about it, E.T." E.T was the boy mentioned earlier; his real name was Estaban, but because his initials were E.T, almost everyone called him that.

"Fine, then!" E.T rolled his eyes, as he pushed some boxes in the way of the door so that no one else could enter. "For security." He explained.

"WOW! Boxes! That'll keep 'em out!" said Christi with much sarcasm. She opened her green Slipknot backpack and took out her Gamecube. She pushed herwavy brown hair out of her brown eyes and handed Ariela bunch of cords. "Will you hook these up, please?"

"Sure." She said, walking behind an old television set they had snuck in during an after-school program a few weeks ago and beginning to fumble with some wires."Can you put the TV on the right video mode?"

Almost immediately after she said those words, Estaban was up by the TV screen messing with the channels. "Do you have the Gamecube all set up?" he asked.

"Hold up, is it in, Ari?" said Christi, ready to push the on switch.

"Almost-DONE!" said Ariel. She zoomed over to the seats E.T had set up for them and grabbed the extra controller.

"You two really shouldn't play during this storm..." ET warned. "You know, electric shocks. You can mess up the 'Cube if the lights go out."

"The Gamecube doesn't have a Hard Drive, nothing will happen." Ariel retorted as she waited for Christian to set up the game.

"Don't be so paranoid." Christi told him, "Besides, I need my fix of Link's hotness."

E.T just rolled his eyes and silently crossed his arms.

"So let's rock this joint!" said Ariel with a big grin. "I'm only getting older!"

"You got it!" Said Christi turning on the 'Cube. At first the screen was black then the oh-so familiar music theme of The Legend Of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time came up.

Ariel absent-mindedly hummed along with the theme song. "Woohoo, playing video games at school!" She'd had eaten a lot of candy that morning for lack of real food and she wasn't afraid to show it.

"Link is hot!" Christi chimed her say into the hyperbabbling.

"Honestly, Christi, he's a video game character..." E.T reminded her.

"Video game characters are better then MOST real guys yah know!" Christi snapped. She hated when people would tell her things like that. Tell her things like he wasn't real and not worth her time. That it was probably just a fan girl obsession.

Shooting him a look, Christi turned her attentionback towards the game. Estaban slunk down into a chair and watched the screen as Link attacked an enemy. Ariel just shook her head, ET should know better than to provoke Christi.

"Here," said Christi handing Ariel the controller "You play for a while. I'm gonna go check out rain."

"Okay!" said Ariel grabbing the controller and killing a Poe. "Suckah! No one can beat Link! Right E.T?"

"Yeah, sure." E.T replied as he let his mind wander to other things. But he returned to reality at the sound of Christi kicking boxes out of her way.

"Don't be so down, dude. We're out of class, remember?" E.T opened his mouth to say something in response.

But Christi interrupted him: "Boxes? What were you THINKING?" The others laughed. "Look E.T! A lock! Wonder what it's for! Oh! To lock this door!" She locked the door and turned and smiled at E.T.

Typical Christian, thought E.T.

"What are you staring at?" Said Christi with a sly grin.

"N-Nothing"

"Mmhmm."

"As entertaining as it is to tease Estaban..." Ariel thought of what words to say next.

She didn'tneed to say anymore, as Christi returned to her place in front of the T.V, controller in hand. "Back to gameage!" She said as the lights began to flicker.

"AHH! A Redead! Get it off him!" It looked as if Christi was about to cry.

"Damn! It's just a game!" said E.T rolling his eyes again.

"I feel his pain." Said Christi sniffling. Just as she was about to play the Sun Song when there was an enormous thunder crackle that made all of them jump.

"Damn, who pissed off the sky?" said Ariel tilting her head up to look out the window.

"The ground." said E.T cockily.

To that Christi replied, "Very funny."

"I try my best." E.T informed her, raising his voice over the loudening sound of thunder.

"It's getting to sound really bad out there." Ariel stated needlessly.

"I'm telling you we should go." Said E.T motioning to the door.

"Touch that door and I'll break your arm." said Christi plainly. "Besides, why'd you come if you were gonna be chicken about it?" She laughed at the Skeet that ran into the wall of the Forest Temple.

"Because-" but E.T never finished his sentence since a huge lightning bolt cracked across the sky, silencing him.

Yet both Ariel and Christi looked unfazed.

"What would you say if you did go back?" Ariel told him, not taking her eyes away from the screen, " Not that 'I had to go sit on the toilet' junk that you pulled at the dance again, right?"

E.T sighed, "Why do you insist on ganging up on me?"

"Why do you insist on-" Christian stopped in mid-sentence as the lights went out. "Uh-oh."

"The power's out..." E.T began, "Didn't I tell you this would happen?"

"Uhh...guys, I know this isn't the best time to say this but…I'M SCARED!" yelled Christi. She ran around and eventually ran into the TV.

"You okay?" Yelled Ariel through the thunder. Shestumbled around trying to find Christi, unfortunately tripping over her.

"Ow."

"Hi!"

"Ughhhh, I think I'm sitting on something. OH! It's my controller. Hi there, controller! Link is hot yah know." Then just as Christi finished her sentence another lightning bolt cracked across the sky.

"Will you two stop running around like headless chickens?" E.T exclaimed. "The lights will come back on in a minute." Just as he finished his sentence, the lights flickered on. Unfortunately for the two girls, who were surrounded by wires and electronics it produced a rather unusual outcome…
"Um… guys?" E.T looked around the newly lighted room in disbelief, "Christian, Ariel, where are you? This isn't funny."
