Shouting was heard and I felt a large bump. I was shaken awake and I looked to see Minho, an Asian boy with deep brown eyes and black hair. I've known him for as long as I can remember, which isn't very long considering I only can remember a couple months back. Thanks WICKED."(Y/N) we got to go, c'mon." Minho shouted and I stood up from the seat on the helicopter and jumped out as the blades still spun. I looked around and saw that we were running toward a building and it was dark. There was sand everywhere and the people that saved us were shooting at something behind the helicopter. I grabbed Minho's hand as we ran and didn't stop until we got inside. I turned around and saw that they were shooting at people, but something was off, they weren't human. Cranks. Thomas joined us and we all backed up as we looked around and I took in the rest of the group. We looked terrible. We were put in a room with food and water and we all devoured it. I picked up a little bit of mashed potatoes as a brilliant idea struck me. I looked toward Newt who was sitting beside Thomas and I smirked. I pulled my arm back a little and tossed them straight at Newt's face. Bullseye. The mashed potatoes splattered right against his cheek and a little dribbled down his chin until it hit the table. Everyone went silent and looked from me to Newt as he slowly turned to me.
"Oh it's on." Newt smirked as he wiped the potatoes off his cheek. He picked up a piece of chicken and threw it at me but I easily dodged it.
"Food fight!" Fry shouted and we all began throwing food at one another. Fry, Winston and another dude were throwing carrots and chicken at each other. Teresa, Thomas and Minho were tossing all sorts of vegetables at each other. Me and Newt were in a standoff, each armed with potatoes and peas as we circled each other. I threw my potatoes at him but he dodged and then tossed his potatoes at me. They barely hit my leg as I moved but it made my feet slippery. I tripped and then turned around as Newt smirked. I gripped my peas in my hand, ready to go out fighting as Newt walked over. He raised his hand holding the potatoes and I readied myself for the impact of potatoes. In the next moment Newt threw the potatoes aimed at my face but there was a blur of blue and no potatoes hit me. I spared no time and threw the peas and my remaining potatoes at Newt and he was hit. Newt dramatically fell backward onto a couch and I looked to my left to see Minho laying on the floor with his hands over his heart and his tongue sticking out as he played dead. I laughed and Minho looked up and winked, making me laugh more.
"My hero." I said as I faked swooning, making him laugh. We both sat down on a large bean bag as everyone else slowly settled down. "Well I'm the one with the least amount of food on me so I guess I win." I said, smirking and they all turned to me smiling, making my smirk falter. The next few seconds were a blur. Everyone, including Minho, threw food at me and after a flurry of flying food I wiped my face and stared at myself. I was completely covered in food and they all laughed.
"Or not." Thomas said and I stuck my tongue out at them all. Teresa handed me a towel and I wiped myself off until I was clean enough but I probably looked like a food monster. I sat back down by Minho and he wrapped an arm around me and I felt the usual spark that happened when we touched. We all talked and laughed for a while when the door opened. We all stood up as a man walked in. He had short black hair that was almost completely gray, he was skinny and had a rat-like face.
"What's with the Ratman?" Minho whispered to me and I snickered silently as we all stood up.
"You kids doing alright?" Ratman asked. "I'm sorry about all the fuss, we had ourselves... well, a swarm."
"Who are you?" Thomas asked.
"I'm the reason you're all still alive, and it's my intention to keep you that way. Now, come with me, we'll get you kids squared away." We followed him out the door as he led us down hallway after hallway. "You can call me Mr. Janson."
