You don't tell me what to do

Time (CH9,8) EP 7

"So, why are we here again?" (E)

"We're scouting." (C)

"I don't think that is the correct word for what we are doing, Claire." (T)

"Oh, c'mon guys are you that scared of the dark?" (C)

"No, well maybe- just a little bit..." (E)

"Enid, you've gone on worse things than these. Didn't you go to that haunted mansion thingy with Wednesday?" (C)

"I mean yeah but didn't you hear the news of that? Hello! Potential damage to someone!" (E)

"Besides, this seems unsafe even for you. You've crossed the line before, but this is a whole new level of crossing the line Claire..." (T)

The three submerged themselves in a cave very well kept enough to explore it from the inside. Very deep in the three continued walking to wherever they were going. Their only guide was Claire but both Enid and Tobias were having second thoughts on their guide.

"Please tell me you know where you are going, Claire." (E)

"Ya! Come on, it's a bit deeper in." (C)

"Excuse me, but did I hear that correctly? A bit deeper. Isn't this deep enough for you?!" (T)

"Just wait off, ah- here in here guys come in." (C)

Inside, very deep inside... the cave had some natural lighting that made the place look like a fairy tale. Now I'll leave it to the imagination of you to make it look appealing and shiny.

"Wow, this place is awesome." (E)

"I guess so. How did you find it? That is my concern." (T)

"I was exploring this cave not long ago and decided to go deep in it. Just for fun that is." (C)

"Excuse me, you did what? You simply entered a big ass cave and decided to explore how deep it goes?!" (T)

"Yep, pretty much. Why?" (C)

". . ." (T)

"Well, do you plan on adding anything to it?" (E)

"I don't know, well it looks pretty awesome without anything but maybe a bit of bean bags here and a few pillows would make it cozier. This is why I brought you here guys. This will be our secret layout! No one will be here except for us three." (C)

"Three? What about the rest?" (E)

"Um, yeah, it's a secret place only for the three because I only trust you guys. So, please do not spill anything about this place." (C)

"Count me in. I won't speak about it." (T)

"I guess if you want to keep it a secret then I'll keep it secret." (E)

"But can we leave cause I'm starting to get hungry, and I don't see a mini fridge around this place." (T)

"Alright, let's go!" (C)

Once again, the gang left the cave in search of food. For which they found a local gas station.

"I gotta go do, of the you know who." (T)

"The bathroom?" (E)

"Yeah, that." (T)

"Hahaha, he's funny sometimes." (C)

"Yeah, he is." (E)

Claire, who was standing against the wall next to Enid, took a closer look at her. Seeing that her best friend wasn't really giving, happy Enid vibes. She decided to ask.

"Everything okay?" (C)

To this Enid simply turned her head to face Claire. She too was standing against the wall. Both with a popsicle in hand.

"Yeah, just thinking." (E)

"Hell no. I know something is wrong, Enid. I've known you since you've been a "bebe" and I know for a fact something is wrong." (C)

"Ugh, okay fine. Let's just say I am considering something." (E)

"Does this decision have something to do with a certain braided girl?" (C)

"Maybe-" (E)

"Ha! I knew it. Tobias told me about how you've been cranky for the past few two days and a half. I can't believe he was being serious." (C)

"What do you mean, Tobias is always serious." (E)

"If by serious you mean "incognito man" then yeah, such maturity I see in him." (C)

"Claire, he's mature enough. He even questioned your sudden urge to enter an expansive cave which God knows only to where it ended." (E)

"Hey, you know I love adventure, and that cave was a perfect start. It was almost calling me! I swear, I saw it shine so bright even when the moon was the only light outside at the moment. It called me." (C)

Claire got closer to Enid. Putting a hand on her shoulder and then with another swaying it into the sky, Enid followed the lead of the hand as Claire kept explaining to her about the cave and its calling.

Both girls eventually started to burst into laughter realizing how funny the situation had become. So much fun that they did not realize the sudden appearance of Tobias.

"Wow, such fun you two are having without me I see." (T)

"Ha, sorry Tobias. Claire was just explaining to me her calling with the cave and how much she plans to marry it." (E)

"Yeah, so cozy and warm I might as well move in!" (C)

"Ya, funny but the time is starting to move and we are still out of school boundaries. Night is falling, so I suggest we pick up the pace back to the dorms." (T)

"Jeez, such a party pooper." (C)

"If by not getting you two in trouble then yes, I indeed am." (T)

"C'mon guys, let's not fight our way back to school." (E)

"Yes, mom!" (C)

"Yes, ma'am!" (T)
