Midnight allows Emily to talk her into speaking on the field, connecting to the gym. She couldn't see why Emily held this desire to strike up a friendship with her. She had been warned by Colt prior to the night to avoid the blonde at all costs. She never recieved a good or logical explanation for his worry. She became friends with the girl anyway, seeing no conflict with giving her a second chance.
"Night, you should break it off with Mars. He's no good for you." Emily softly muses, gently placing a hand on Midnight's shoulder.
Midnight grimaces. How many times did she have to tell Emily she isn't interested? "Mars isn't a bad guy."
"He snapped on London. You might want to reconsider." Emily lightly voices.
Midnight rolls her eyes, shaking her head. She was about to say something until a few minutes passed as a familiar scent of smoke hung in the air. She is distracted from the current topic, "do you smell smoke?"
"I don't smell anything." Emily says, shaking her head.
Midnight furrows her eyebrows, turning her gaze to the gym. Her grey eyes make contact with smoke billowing into the dark skies. Fear strikes her heart as no voices can be heard from the inside. She is about to take off when Emily tugs her arm backwards nearly breaking it off.
"Are you crazy, Emily?! There's people inside the burning building!" Midnight shouts, trying to pull her grip from the evil blonde.
"They're not your friends!" Emily calls to the odd girl.
Midnight releases a growl for the first time, angrily shoving Emily into the orange dirt. She's thankful the idiot blonde releases her. She rushes over to the closed off gym doors, confused on how they got locked inside. Her worry grew as she grunted while prying at the double doors. She was wondering if her friends were even aware of their newfound fate.
...
Baby held a line of red streamers up, "This would be good to set up here-"
"Do you smell that?" Colt asks, sniffing the air.
"Yeah, but what why would a fire be in the gym?" Rocky grows alarmed, dropping what he's been doing. A paint bucket splashes to the ground.
Tum Tum too catches whiff of the fire while racing to the double doors. He grunts while unable to get the doors open. "You guys we're going to burn to death!"
"Don't panic!" Rocky calls, glancing around for Midnight. "Where's Midnight?"
"Oh, Emily wanted to take to her. Said she'd be right back." London voices, coming to terms with what is happening. He feels panic arise in him.
"Emily?" Colt asks in disbelief. He frowns, realizing what's happening.
"This must be what Birdie had been planning all along. Why burn Rocky alive? She liked him." Baby speaks, getting a glare from the others who had been unaware the plan.
"I think she accepted Rocky didn't like her in turn." Colt laughs as the blonde glared at the two.
"You should have said something sooner. Now, we're going to burn." Rocky retorts.
"At least, this way we will be together in death. Even if we can't be together in real life, Samuel." Birdie speaks up, coming into view. She had decided this is how she would go out; leaving everybody to question her sanity.
Rocky turns, pressing himself to the bleachers. He felt like a mouse, trapped in a cage. "You're crazy!"
"Am I?" Birdie grins, moving closer to the blonde male. She stands in front of him, standing on her tippy toes to plant a kiss on his lips.
Rocky is repulsed, wishing he were anybody else.
Colt is holding Baby from killing her. He thinks Birdie should meet her own fate, frowning as the short girl got her way.
...
Midnight grunts, roughly tossing her body into the double doors. She becomes sore, getting nowhere. She had already made to call the firefighters with the slow burning building. Tears were threatening to prick the back of her eyes.
"Give it up girly!" Erica called, standing in view. Her hands were on her tiny hips- drinking in every aspect of the caramel flavored girl.
"I'm not about to let my friends die, cunt!" Midnight spits at Erica, angrily shove past the blonde girl. She wasn't about to become a victim nor was she about to let them sucumb to the wicked ways of Birdie Kelley.
"Are you sure they're even your friends?" Erica Harper gently calls as Midnight rushes across to the school.
Midnight breaks the fire extinguisher from place while picking up the axe enclosed in glass with it. "You wouldn't know a friend if you were on fire, ho."
Erica is taken aback. She doesn't stick around, deciding to get lost in the wind. She didn't bother with seeing the rest of the plan through.
Midnight takes up a brick, throwing it into one of the windows high off the ground.
This way they could get fresh air while she worked to chop away at the front doors.
Midnight was on the brink of a mental breakdown when she was far from successful in helping her friends. She breathed in the fumes of the gas fueled fire herself, wanting to rip Birdie a new one. Tears were steaming down her face as her worry kept growing into a full blown anxiety attack. She was about to kill a fucker.
...
The firefighters arrived, busting down the door of the gym. They got to work putting out the fire.
Colt nearly collapsed, tugging Baby from inside as London and Tum Tum followed.
Birdie had pressured Rocky into the locker room.
Midnight throws her arms around them, breathing in a sigh of relief. "You guys are alive! Thank goodness."
"Yeah, thanks for trying." Colt genuinely informs her.
Midnight furrows her eyebrows, asking the one question she wished she hadn't been dreading. "Where's Rocky?"
"Birdie took him to the locker room. The last we saw of him was an hour ago. We don't know if they're even still breathing." London sadly reiterates the detailed force of the short girl.
Midnight ducks around several firefighters, rushing inside- heading straight for the locker room. She held fear in her heart for the outcome along with anger at the short girl wanting Rocky dead. Her eyes scan the locker room, soon coming across a sight that makes her heart stop in her chest. Her favorite blonde sat with his eyes closed, pushed against a locker. She crouched down in front of him, moving a hand to his face when a shout came from behind.
Birdie held a baseball bat, swinging at the back of Midnight who saw the girl was on the verge of collapsing.
Midnight frowned, moving so the girl fell to the floor. Her eyes snap to Rocky, praying he isn't dead. A smirk overtakes her features as she silently crouches inches from his face. Is he alive or playing dead? And for who's sake?
Seizing the opportunity, Midnight surpressed her giggles as she pressed a chaste kiss to his lips. A warmth spread inside of her as she felt the blonde jerk open his green blue eyes in shock.
"He's alive." Midnight softly pronounces, touching a hand gently to his face.
Rocky turns a rosy red, "Midnight, did you just-?"
"Shush, come on. Before I decide against saving you." Midnight cuts off his question, helping the older boy to stand.
"Oh, good. Mom's going to have a new farm." Colt breathes in relief as he sees Midnight letting Rocky lean on her as she helps him outside the gym.
"How many farms does that woman need?" Baby laughs, kissing his lips. She was so grateful to be alive, she forgot her anger towards the blue ninja.
Colt laughs along, "she loves to have a new one everytime we get into trouble."
Baby smirks. Her bright blue eyes shining behind her thick rimmed glasses.
