AvM/AvA (ADVENTURE)

PLANS

Wondering what it means by plans...

~~~

"Okay...so this is clearly not working."

Second muttered, walking around and around in a circle. Purple, Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow stood in front of him, watching as he went. At least, most of them were.

Green stood off to the side as if alone. He stared at the grass below (the group were standing right outside of the hotel), seeming to be in his own world. His behavior was already expected...

But Blue's behavior was different. It felt wrong -- how could someone be okay one day and completely traumatized the next? It would take some time getting used to -- just like getting used to Green's condition. But instead of being in the same 'trance' like Green seemed to be in, Blue was aware of almost everything. Almost like his senses were heightened.

And not in a good way like most would hope or expect.

Second came to a stop, sighing. He crossed his arms, furrowing his brow as he tried racking his brain for something, anything.

The sudden sound of Yellow's voice was heard ("Hey-"), startling Second. He almost jumped, but quickly went to cover it up, hoping that nobody saw his moment of temporary panic.

He was met with blank stares. He stared right back, small beads of sweat starting to form as the piercing gazes of his friends watched him.

Then Purple, Red, and Yellow burst out into laughter. Red collapsed, rolling to and fro as he tried to contain his laughter. Purple also fell down, lying down as he tried to catch his breath all the while he was laughing. At least Yellow had the decency to try and keep his laughter in, but it was becoming harder and harder for him to do so.

Second rolled his eyes, his face beginning to heat up in embarrassment. He was normally not so jumpy -- but what with everything that had been happening in less than a week...

"This is no time to fool around!" He tried to get his friend's attention again, but they were too caught up in their laughter.

He sighed, collapsing onto the floor himself as he watched his three friends roll around in laughter at his behavior. He studied them with a bored expression, or he tried to. He was close to smiling at the sight of them being happy for once ever since Green was found traumatized on the boat, but he stopped himself just before a smile could grace his features.

This was really no time to fool around, Second thought, chancing a glance over at Green and Blue.

The two were standing there, void of emotion. Green was still staring out into space while Blue was watching Yellow, Red, and Purple roll around on the ground (Yellow must've just given up -- he was laughing really hard).

At the sight of these two traumatized friends, an idea suddenly popped up into Second's mind.

He jumped up, waving his arms much like how Red would when he was excited. "Guys! I got it!"

Yellow and Purple stopped laughing -- although they were still shaking with quiet laughter. It took a while before Red stopped laughing, but it was clear that keeping a straight face would be a little hard for him. Especially what had happened earlier.

Satisfied at grabbing their attention after two attempts, Second allowed his arms to drop back down to his side, surveying them.

"This is our last day, isn't it?" Second asked. But before Yellow could answer, he continued. "All this time, we've been trying to do something to help them-" Indication at Green and Blue. "-but what if, this time, we should just try nothing?"

Yellow blinked, furrowing his brow as he countered Second. "Try nothing? We've done that already -- are you trying to say that we should just make the most of this? Because if so, then I'm sorry, but we can't because we already did that -- going to the pool is enough evidence, don't you think?"

He continued to drone on, causing Second to sigh in exasperation. Was he just trying to be a smarty pants, or was he purposely making his sentence longer so he could annoy Second?

Second sent a hard glare in his direction, and it wasn't long before he shut up. He then racked his brain once more. In truth, he didn't know what else to do. It was clear that a part of Green and Blue was still in there, but he just didn't know how to come close to getting it out of them.

"What if we do something fun? Do something that they like...?"

Second's eyes snapped to Red, raising his eyebrows. Was it just him, or did Red finally use his brain for good for once (/jk)? Red gave him a hopeful look, his eyes shining -- reflecting almost every light behind Second.

Purple stepped up.

"I have an idea...that is, if you agree. If you all agree." Purple turned to look at each friend in turn, his own eyes shining.

Second bit the inside of his lip, considering.

It wouldn't hurt. No.

This might just be what they need.

Finally after what seemed like hours, Second nodded to indicate that Purple should continue. Smiling, Purple did just that as he addressed the group.

He looked from Red, to Yellow, then to Second, using his hand to beckon the three forward.

"Alright...come closer...a little closer....good..."

He smirked, sending a cautious look over at Blue and Green as if they could hear them. Of course, Blue just gave them a blank stare and Green didn't even look at them.

Then he bent closer and whispered.

It wasn't long before the group nodded in agreement. Second patted Purple and Reds' shoulder, sending a purposeful glare over at Yellow. Yellow just shrugged.

"Get your things, then. We've got a whole afternoon planned before us." Second stated, moving to go back inside of the hotel. The others exchanged a glance before following him to do as he said.
