Giroro irately grabbed his lunch box and tugged only to find it wouldn't open. Don't you froggin' dare… He pulled a few more times without success.

"ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT WASN'T EVEN WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY!" Giroro slammed his box to the ground. The shattering crack echoed around him as the case broke and spilt his food to the floor. The slip of paper he was meant to read soaked over the fresh, steaming rice. The words 'I like trains' blurred to illegible gibberish. Giroro stalked down his only path.

"Tch. I was gracious to give him the opportunity to think things over." Kururu muttered to himself as he stared down the Giroro on his monitor. "It's his fault that his biggest secret is out."

"But you took him out of the room before he could find out how Natsumi feels. You could say dying to know." Mois pointed out as she looked over Kururu's shoulder.

"Well that was a twist ending." Tamama was first to respond after Giroro dropped out of the room.

"Is that what all of that 'stuff' was between you two yesterday and earlier this morning?" Spencer asked.

"What do you mean?" Natsumi asked as a light blush filled her cheeks.

"Like all the tension and when Keroro blurted out something last night. Oh! I got the skull in the sun jelly joke now." Spencer chuckled with embarrassment. "I'm sorry Natsumi if I shouldn't be bringing it up. You must feel embarrassed that an alien just confessed his love for you."

"Nice way of skipping right to the point and then back to modest concern. I think you jumped straight over the egg shells the rest of us are sitting on." Saburo gave a thumbs up to Spencer.

"Is this one of those 'everyone else knew way before me' things?" Natsumi looked around and watched everyone either nod with guilt or just simply turn their eyes away. "Crap it freakin was wasn't it?!"

"At least we didn't use that one against you." Keroro chipped in hoping to make things better.

"Oh really?" Natsumi glared at him still angry that he had used Saburo against her.

"Yep we just used it against Giroro. Totally convinced him to do some embarrassing stuff too." Keroro smiled with pride.

"Not helping your case Sarge." Fuyuki sighed.

"Like this one time we had to teach him to gargle so his throat wasn't sore. Only way to do it was to convince him you needed CPR and then-" Keroro was quieted as Tamama slapped a hand over his mouth.

"You mean that time I walked in to see him leaning over a dummy me that was all soaking wet and then he caught that space flu?!" Natsumi called out.

"Crap she remembered." Tamama cursed.

"If you're all done with lunch you can proceed to the next room." Kururu interrupted before more was said. The doors swung open but no one made a step towards them. They all finished their food quietly. Natsumi was last to finish her lunch but everyone waited for her to make the first move. She stood up and calmly walked through the door without looking at anyone else. She knew they were all looking at her and thinking over what had happened.

Spencer quickly hopped up and followed after her. Minutes of silence passed. Spencer waited for her to do anything first. He didn't want to speak up and say the wrong thing. He just kept waiting as Natsumi only walked on ahead of him. He started counting the tiles on the floor. When he reached fifty-six he looked to the ceiling and only saw the same tiles, repeating on forever. He sighed and looked past Natsumi for the other end of the hall. It didn't look too much further so he just continued to follow.

After longer moments passed he looked ahead once more and saw the end didn't grow any closer. He stopped walking to figure out why and saw Natsumi walking away but the far end was getting further and the door they had come from started getting closer.

"Wait, Natsumi! Something's wrong with the floor." Spencer trotted up to her side as she paused and turned to him.

"What's wrong?" She asked sincerely confused.

"Didn't you notice how long it took for us just to get half-way down this hall? And if you look now that we stopped we're going backwards." Spencer pointed to the door behind them.

"What the crap?!" Natsumi shouted as she realized the truth. The floor below them was moving them back as they walked forward, keeping them from actually reaching the end. "How did we not see that when we came in the room?"

"It probably kicked in after a certain point. Starting really slow and building up gradually to a speed that keeps us from moving any further but not so much that we would notice. Look, the ceiling is even moving at the same pace." Spencer explained his theory. "We should have been at the end long before now. Didn't you notice anything was off?"

"N-not really. I didn't notice it at all." Natsumi was shy to answer. She held a closed hand up to hide a slight blush. Behind her hand she gave herself a small but guilty smile. "I was distracted."

"We better hurry up before we run into that door." Spencer began a quick jog towards the far end hoping to beat the speed of the floor. Natsumi nodded and ran faster taking huge leaps. The floor seemed to be controlled by an outsider as it sped up. Spencer stumbled slightly as he tried not to be thrown backwards.

Natsumi found that there was a speed limit, or the device ran out of juice as the floor slowed down. She stood at the other end and waited for Spencer. He struggled to catch his breath as he stumbled down the hall and met up with Natsumi.

"Looks like a hall maze cause there are two ways to go from here but I can see more turns down these other halls." Spencer straightened up and looked at the options.

"Or its just a couple of turns and far from a maze." Natsumi suggested as she started down the right hall.

"Oh, yeah. Could be that too." Spencer walked behind her. They turned down a few more halls before finding a door.

"See. It doesn't always have to be a puzzle." Natsumi smiled as she opened the door. Buckets of liquid rained down. Natsumi and Spencer wrapped their arms over their heads. "Aahhh!"

"What was that?" Spencer asked as he rubbed his wet fingers together. "Oil?"

"That's it! I've had enough of this stupid challenge!" Natsumi screamed as she turned around and began walking back the other way.

"Wait Natsumi. There's a door behind this one." Spencer pointed past the pile of overturned buckets and sure enough another door was waiting to be opened.

"This better not lead to anything dumb or creepy." Natsumi huffed and returned to the closet.
