hoopsandyoy42 - So since Lotus can't sing I'm writing out something the will work with it, so there is no song picked out for her.
Hinata'sMuse - How do you listen to these? I'm extremely curious.
This is Lotus
This is Saiki
This is Saiki and Lotus
~Thoughts of others~
Yup...We're Lost - Wrong Way Again!
Lotus did her best to keep her nerves away as she walked next to Saiki. No, the two were not out on their planned excursion, or better known as their date.
Instead, the two were with Nendou and Kaidou, the group heading towards the celebration party the class was having for their success at the festival.
Lotus could feel the pitter-patter of her heart as she stepped in sync with Saiki, their hands occasionally brushing with one another.
"I'm sure it's fine if we're a little late, but they should've picked a closer restaurant for the wrap party," Nendou said
"What's the point of the party anyway?"
"When are we gonna get there!" Nendou said
Kaidou walked in front of the group holding the directions. "We're close. The maps a little hard to understand but once we turn this corner the restaurant is-"
"Not here."
Kaidou pulled out his phone and called Hairo.
"Hey, where are you guys? The rest of the class is already here."
"Well, we got a little lost. Have you started eating yet?" Kaidou asked
"No of course not. We're still waiting for you guys to get here. I'll have a Japanese style hamburger steak with Autumn mushrooms!"
"I just heard you order," Kaidou said
"Since we're such a big group, the waitress wanted to get my order in early."
"Oh, okay. Anyway, can you tell us where it is? I followed your map perfectly," Kaidou said
"No, you didn't. We should've turned at the second light, but we turned at the first. I didn't bother telling him though. I don't want to attend any party. I'd rather stay lost all night."
"This reminds me of my mother. She's got a terrible sense of direction. If Kaidou's anything like my mother telling him won't do anything but wound his pride. She once walked into a cave of wild boar and even after coming out looking like she escaped a war zone she refused to admit she had a bad sense of direction."
Kaidou finally got off the phone. "Well, it looks like we went the wrong way and will have to double back. Alright guys the party is right around the corner."
Kaidou once again took the lead and the group followed him, the two psychics 100% sure that he was going the wrong way.
"Dude you have the worst sense of direction!" Nendou said
"If you're not helping you can't complain. Behold we should arrive at-"
"The wrong place."
"It appears I'm being sabotaged by a supernatural power known as a Stand!" Kaidou said
"You're not."
"Hey, we're lost again Kaidou!" Nendou said
"No that can't be right!" Kaidou said
"He seems to have a real problem with directions."
"Yeah. When we turned at the second light we should've gone right but instead went left."
"Which means the restaurant is...right behind us."
"Huh?"
Lotus quickly turned around to see Saiki was right. Just behind the group and across the street was the restaurant. Lotus started to weigh out her options, if she told Kaidou the restaurant was right there then this little direction endeavor would be over but Saiki would be in a sour mood having to go to the party. But if she didn't tell them then they'd be stuck wandering the streets for who knows how long.
"What to do? What to do?"
As she thought more about it Nendou took Kaidou's phone calling Hairo.
"Kaidou is bad at directions and keeps getting us lost. Could you just tell me where it is?" Nendou asked
"Okay, where are you right now? See anything you recognize?"
"A big tower," Nendou said
"Yeah, that's no help. Hey, Nendou do you see any signs for a restaurant, Todoroki?"
"I see one named Sha Sha Sha," Nendou spoke looking directly at the correct restaurant.
"Sha Sha Sha?"
"Three Sha kanji characters in a row," Nendou said
"That doesn't sound familiar."
"Nope, that's Todoroki."
Lotus sighed, slapping a hand on her forehead, facepalming. "You know what, nope. I'm not telling them now that that's the correct restaurant. As my mother said you shouldn't reward extreme stupidity."
"She sounds like a wise woman."
Nendou walked over to Kaidou, who was now sitting on the ground knees pulled up to his chest, sulking.
"Yo, Hairo wants you," Nendou spoke passing the phone over.
"What?" Kaidou stood up with renewed confidence. "Ha! As expected you'd come crawling back for the help of the Jet Black Wings!"
"What?"
"~I'm the one helping them.~"
"But seriously have you guys started eating yet?" Kaidou asked
"No of course not. We're still holding off until you guys get here."
"Cheers!" several voices exclaimed on the other line.
"I just heard everyone do a toast," Kaidou said
"No that's another group! Look why don't you go back to the last spot you recognized."
"Well I see how we stand in the eyes of our fellow classmates, now I'm really not feeling like going to a party."
"Now we're on the same page."
The group followed Hairo's directions, going back to the very start of their venture. The train station. The sun had long set and the city was now illuminated by the many lights of the night-life.
"I feel like when you play a video game and end up dying so you have to go back to the first level."
"We're back at the train station," Kaidou spoke over the phone.
"Great I can guide you from there. Do you see a hospital building nearby?"
"Yeah, I see it!" Kaidou confirmed
"Good now walk directly toward it."
"Done," Kaidou said
They were not in front of a hospital but a hair salon called Cutting Love.
"He's already lost."
"Does Kaidou need glasses?"
"Alright, you're almost here. Just keep going down that street until you see a post, then turn left."
"A post?" Kaidou looked at his right to see a host club. "Oh, host!"
"Nope."
"You guys haven't started the party yet have you?" Kaidou asked
"No of course not. Did you turn left?"
"Yeah, just like you said. This doesn't look right," Kaidou said
"Because it's not."
The group was now facing a rather seedy alleyway, with some rough looking dudes lining the street.
"You should be passing a school about now. Do you see it?"
"A school?! In a neighborhood as bad as this one! Wouldn't this lead to genocide!" Kaidou said
"Really?"
"Wait there's a school!" Nendou pointed at a sign.
The "school" Nendou was referring to was a gentleman club called "Three Thumbs up Girls Academy Club".
"No way! This can be what he's talking about!" Kaidou said with flushed cheeks.
"Then double-check with him," Nendou said
"Hey, by any chance is the school called…"
As another misfortunate misunderstanding occurred over the phone, Lotus heard someone call out from her left. She turned her head and saw a man leering her way. He was wearing a purple jacket over a green button shirt with white pants and had obviously dyed blonde hair.
"Hey, there little lady."
"Nope."
Lotus turned to walk away but the man slid in front of her quite fast.
"Hey, little lady interested in a job?"
The man leaned closer to Lotus, and the girl frowned, her fist clenched at her side.
"With a face like yours you'd be-!"
The man was cut off as a potted plant fell from above landing on his head. Next thing Lotus knew two hands were placed on her shoulders, and she was being briskly guided away from the sleazy man.
"Oh, thank you, Saiki." Lotus smiled
She and Saiki continued following Kaidou, the silver-haired teen taking the group down a dark garbage lined alleyway.
"Why host a party on this street?" Kaidou said
"Hey, you guys good?"
"Yeah, we turned!" Kaidou said
"Cool, just keep going straight you can't miss it. I gotta jet see you soon!"
"Oh look I think we finally made it," Kaidou said
The group stood before some wooden gates that had two suspicious men standing out in front.
"I've only seen these kinds of places in mafia movies."
"Something's wrong," Kaidou said
"For you? Or the people inside?"
A bald man with a few deep scars littering his face spotted the teens.
"What are you kids doing here scram!"
"Ah sorry!" Kaidou shouted
"Hey! You can't talk to your customers like that!" Nendou said
He started making his way towards the man with no fear whatsoever. Kaidou hung off the taller teen trying to hold him back.
"What did you just say punk?"
"What did you just say jerk!" Nendou shouted back
"Nendou stop!" Kaidou cried
"The gangs inside so you better let us see them!" Nendou shouted
"Gang meaning class 3."
"This escalated so fast!"
"Fine kid, well show you what's what!"
Three guys surrounded the teens and started moving them towards the gates.
"No let us go!" Kaidou scremad
"It's time to wrap this up."
Saiki goes behind Nendou and Lotus behind Kaidou helping push them forward. As they went through the threshold of the gate the group, with a seamless transition, teleported into the correct restaurant thanks to the help of the two pink-haired psychics.
"No please don't!" Kaidou cried his eyes shut tight.
"Cool you finally made it!" Hairo greeted
"No way. This is the right place? I found it?" Kaidou said
"Obviously not. We teleported here. I wasn't planning on helping Kaidou but when it looked like we were gonna get hurt I had to. Plus I kind of respect his persistence."
Lotus smiled giving Saiki a thumbs up. "Good job on finding the bright side."
"Alright let's party!" Nendou cheered
"Yeah, I'm ready to go!" Kaidou said
"What?" Hairo said
"The class 3 wrap party Hairo," Kaidou said
"Can you get us bingo cards and an appetizer menu?" Nendou asked
Hairo sweatdropped. "Well…"
"Alright everyone let's have one more big cheer as we bring this party to a close!"
"Party's over."
"Hey let's do an after-party!" Kaidou said
"Yeah! Yeah!" Nendou cheered
The other students turned twos way with rather apathetic expressions.
"Yeah, I'll pass."
"Me too."
"I'll give them 30 minutes because I feel bad."
"That means I'm in too."
A/N: I know, I know, but don't fret the date chapter is coming up next.
