AN: Curse these stories for jumping into my head!! It begged and threatened me until I wrote it :)

It was 8:55 now. The library would be closing soon, but Kimberly and Adam remained in the small study room. Everyone had been there since 6:30 studying for a history test on monday. Since it was Saturday and they wanted at least one day of the weekend off, Zedd and Rita providing, they had all agreed to study together. Unfortunately things just kept coming up. Tommy had a class to teach that he'd forgotten about, Rocky and Aisha had to babysit his younger siblings which was a handful for even two teens, and Billy had the secret project of the week to work on. Which, of course, left Kim and Adam to actually study like they said they would. Kim shut the book she was reading and stood up.
"It's almost closing Adam, I'm going to go put my books back." She grabbed a small stack that sat by her pink backpack on the table.
"Yeah," He looked at his watch. "We've got 5 minutes. I'll go with you." He grabbed the books he'd been looking at and followed Kim out of the study room into the main library. They wandered through the maze of shelves, occasionally glancing at titles, looking for the correct call numbers.
"No wonder the librarian took so long getting these books." Kim commented, noticing how far back they were.
"Yeah, I don't think I've ever been to this section." Replied Adam as he placed their books back. Kim handed him the last book to reshelf and soon put a hand up to her mouth to cover a yawn. Adam laughed.
"Tired?" He questioned but was cut short with a yawn of his own.
"Ha, I'm not the only one. History can really wear a person down."
"Defiantly. Come on, let's go get our stuff." They began walking again in what they thought was the general direction of their room. It was hard to tell with the high book cases.
"Finally." Kim sighed as they approached a line of doors, each to a study room, along the wall. Suddenly all the lights in the library went out. Both teens were startled and jumped slightly.
"Um, Adam?" She felt the air trying to find him. He grabbed her hand.
"Right here Kim. Come on, let's get to the room and get out communicators." He suggested and they began counting doorknobs. As they tried each one it was soon appearant that all the rooms were locked.
"Oh boy..locked in, no lights, no communicators.. could it get any worse?" Adam flinched at her words. Was being locked in with him so terrible? No, he told himself, it was the situation. He hated the idea too. Then he realized something.
"I think it could." He replied slowly, not wanting to panic her.
"How?" She turned to him, suspicion in her voice.
"I don't want to worry you, but.." He faded off.
"Please Adam, just spit it out. What?"
"The library is closed on Sundays." He finally stated in the calmest tone he could manage. Kim hit her forehead with her palm.
"Oh of course!"
"It'll be ok. I think the librarians at least keep flashlights in the desks. Let's go check." Adam took her hand again and lead her towards the front using the dim light seeping in through the windows. The windows, though, faced a forest preserve. They usually found it a beautiful view but unless a deer saw them and could unlock the door it wasn't much help.
Reaching the desks, Adam and Kim both rummaged through drawers looking for flashlights, candles, matches, anything! Kim sighed as she pulled out a small book of matches and two medium sized candles.
"Sorry, this is all I found."
"It's ok. I just found one flashlight." He turned on the small light.
"Ok then, let's find someplace to rest for the night." Kim held onto the candles as Adam took the lead with the flashlight. They wandered to the third floor and found the children's reading corner. It was piled with pillows and looked welcoming to the two tired, Ninjetti Rangers. They settled in and Kim lit the candles so they could preserve batteries since they didn't know how charged the ones in the flashlight were. Laying next to each other, Kim shivered causing Adam to look curiously at her.
"Cold?" He asked politely.
"A little.." She blushed with embarrassment. He took off his black, flannel button up shirt and drapped it over her. Kim snuggled into it and smiled.
"Are you sure you'll be ok?" She looked at his well shaped, bare arms then shook her head. Not supposed to be thinking like that, she scolded herself.
"Yeah I'll be fine." Adam paused as the air conditioning blew from above them then he laughed. "Then again, do you mind sharing your little blanket."
Kim laughed and scooted closer to him. "Not at all." She turned on her side. Her back was flat against Adam's chest with their legs laying next to each other. He put his bottom hand under his cheek and his top arm hugging Kim loosely. The flannel shirt covered them both for the most part.
"This ok?" He ask nervously as he noticed their position.
"It's fine." Kim sighed almost dreamily, but Adam shook it from his head as wishful thinking. "Night Adam." She said after blowing the candles out. Smoke swirled and danced around them, giving off the scent of pina colada.
"Night Kim."
