"Come on Tobio! You need to pack all of our clothes," Shoyo called from the closet. He grabbed the sleeping bags and shoved them into the backpack. "You also need to get the water bottles."

"I got those already. You need to quiet down or mother is going to get mad," Tobio whispered. Tobio grabbed the neatly folded clothes off the bed and put them in the suitcase. He quietly walked out of their room. Tadashi had a bag of bug spray that might be helpful while moving through the forest. Tobio walked into Tadashi and Kiyoko's room trying not to wake anyone up. He walked up to Tadashi's bed where he was sleeping. Tobio bent down to look for the bag under the bed.

"What are you doing!" Tadashi whispered rubbing his eyes. He felt the bed move when Tobio was looking under the bed.

"I was trying to find your outdoor bag" mumbled Tobio. He found the bag and pulled it out from under the bed. He stood up and looked at Tadashi. Tadashi looked at him nervously then got out of bed.

"You need to get back to your room and in bed. Mother is going to come soon." Tadashi spoke.

"What do you mean Mother is coming soon" Tobio questioned.

"Mother does nightly check-ins to see if one of us is awake or missing. I had a nightmare one time and was awake when Mother came in. He got angry with me because I was awake and he hit me 10 times."

"Okay, I'll go to bed but I need some of your things." Tadashi sighed and took the bag from Tobio. He grabbed out the bug spray and a small medkit. Then he handed Tobio the things.

"You better have a good reason for this," He said. Tobio nodded and walked out of the room. As he entered his room, he heard footsteps coming from his mother's room. Tobio rushed to the room. Shoyo was in bed and asleep. Tobio put the items in a bag next to Shoyo and kissed him. He walked back to his bed and laid down. He laid there listening to his mother's footsteps, but then it stopped abruptly. Tobio sat up and looked at the door. There was only the sound of his breathing until the footstep started again. He laid back down quickly and tried to pretend to be asleep. He continued to listen, but the sound was different. It was more than one person. The footsteps got louder and again, it stopped. Tobio held his breath as the door opened. He closed his eyes and slowed his breathing to seem like he was asleep. The door closed and Tobio looked at the door again. He saw someone drop a note at the door. The person was wearing a white frog shirt and some black pants. Tobio immediately recognized them as Tadashi. He quietly got out of bed to grab the note. The note read: You are lucky I'm taking this for you. You owe me big time.

XO Tadashi

Tobio groaned and looked at the time. It read 11:30. Tobio walked back to his bed. Tobio wondered why he was doing this. He was never going to be able to repay Tadashi. Shoyo said that he was going to deal with the escape. Tobio wants to save everyone from their mother.

The next day, Shoyo jumped out of bed and started shaking Tobio awake.

"Baby wake up! Mother is waiting for us," Shoyo said. Tobio looked at him and slapped him. "Ow! What was that for?"

"I told you not to call me that anymore. If Mother found out then you would be in big trouble" Tobio answered climbing out of bed.

"I'm sorry Tobio but it's hard to hide my feelings every day. I want to express my feelings."

"You can do that when we leave." Shoyo and Tobio got dressed and went to the kitchen. Tobio saw Tadashi talking with Kei. Kei seemed angry about something because his nose was scrunched up. When everyone sat down at the table, Mother was the first to speak.
