Set- 5 years before ORAS
Characters- Courtney, Homura, Blaise, Brodie and Misaki (OC)
Courtney had a bad feeling about tomorrow. She had a feeling something disturbing, humiliating or otherwise might happen. Her fellow commanders Blaise, Tabitha, Homura and her sister Kagari felt the same too. Mitch and Brodie didn't seem to sense the upcoming chaos though. Courtney didn't know what was going to happen, she just had a gut instinct something horrific would happen the next day. Maybe Team Aqua would ambush one of them on a mission. Maybe Archie would kill Maxie. Who knew? But Courtney wasn't risking anything. She set up security grunts everywhere. Homura lent everyone one of his many frying pans.
They tried to talk sense into the two idiots. The two idiots being Brodie and Mitch. They didn't react much though, just shrugged and went on like nothing was going to happen. Though Courtney had a feeling whatever bad thing was going to happen tomorrow, a certain thief was involved. She was always on guard around him, though the other admins said he was no longer suspicious. Only a few years ago their resident troublemaker and thief was being a double agent, working for both them and Aqua. He chose them over the water loving team eventually but Courtney and Kagari still worried.
She tried to act emotionless, robotic and indifferent but really, Courtney had more anxiety than all the other admins combined. Which was saying something with how much Homura panicked. She just kept it in, it built up. And now it was leaking all out.
She tripwired her entire room, anyone who entered at night to murder her would be caught. She fell asleep still troubled but feeling a little safe.
She was woken up with a loud bang, she quickly grabbed the frying pan on the side of her bed. The room was a mess, her bookshelves and cupboards knocked over and the contents spilled. Something was underneath all the books as well… She crept up to the shape, frying pan at the ready. She nudged the thing buried alive. It twitched. Both she and the thing let out girly screams.
The screams brought the attention of Homura, Blaise and Brodie, they came running to her room to see her trembling in the corner and the room a complete mess. Homura nearly tripped over the lump under the books.
"What happened in here Court?" Blaise asked with worry as he examined the room. Bookselves pulled over, books everything, some shattered glass… He noticed the wire. "Tripwire? So someone came in to kill you… And the tripwire saved you at the expense of your room…" The blond picked up the frying pan lying on the floor next to her and crept towards the lump. He saw red eyes staring at him. He swung the pan. The thing darted out from under the books, he fell over and faceplanted on the pan. And stared in surprise at the 'thing' wrapped around Brodie's waist sobbing.
"Big brother I'm so so sorry! I didn't expect there to be wire!" The young girl cried, the thief was chuckling and Courtney, Homura and Blaise stared in shock.
The thing that had destroyed her room was Misaki, Brodie's adoptive younger sister aged 9. Courtney started to piece stuff together. She had a bad feeling that something disturbing and humiliating was going to happen. She tripwired her room. It was only Misaki. Her room was utterly trashed. The disturbing thing was that the 9 year old girl had tried to sneak into her room. The humiliating thing… She worried over nothing. Her gut lied to her. She tripwired the room like crazy. It was now a complete mess. So basically she had screwed herself over.
But why did she sneak into her room in the first place?!
Courtney snatched the frying pan off Blaise and pointed it at the Bannai siblings, cheeks flushed red and teeth gritted.
"Why did she sneak into my room at" She glanced at her clock "4 o clock in the morning?!" Misaki squeaked and hide her face in her brother's shirt, Brodie just laughed. A split second later the pan was on the floor. Courtney looked at it in surprise then glared at the thief. Yep. She had definitely been humiliated.
"Hey, she needed to learn how to follow in her big brother's footsteps!" Courtney fumed. Homura and Blaise didn't look too happy either. Basically… Brodie teaching Misaki to wake people up at 4am absolutely destroyed Courtney's room and pride. Misaki looked in fear, the fear increased as all three of the angry tired admins got frying pans out.
"H-Hey brother… We better run,…" Brodie looked at her in confusion then at the pans and swore loudly. And brother and sister ran through the corridors, chased by three angry frying pan wielding admins.
