AvM/AvA (ADVENTURE)

STUPIDITY

Now that I'm reading the title-

:|

Anyway...here's another chapter for you :)

~~~

"Aren't we just walking in circles?"

"Wait! Wait. I think I got it-"

Red held the map of the airport out in front of his face, squinting to make sense of the illustration. Yellow scoffed, crossing his arms as he watched Red continue trying to decipher the map with a knowing look.

"I think we..uh...go over here!" Red zoomed forward. But then he paused, tilting the map to the side. "Er...wait....actually-"

He zoomed in the opposite direction, back to where Yellow was standing. He blinked, tilting the map again.

"Wait...maybe..." Red started in another direction, only to stop again.

He mumbled, turning around and around, tilting the map this way and that, only to get himself nowhere.

Yellow sighed, shaking his head. He walked over to where Red was standing -- who was still deciphering the map and tilting it at different angles -- and with a quick swipe, he took the map away from Red, ignoring his protests. Stretching the map out in front of him, Yellow scanned the map in a quick inspection, keeping the map just out of reach of Red so he could examine the map in peace. Finally, he rolled the map up and turned to the others.

Only to find that they were not there.

First, he stared. Then he groaned, face palming. Last, he turned to Red, who crossed his arms at him.

"Did you see-" Yellow stopped when Red shook his head. Of course.

Now that they finally had the route out of the airport figured out, they had to also deal with the disappearance of their four friends. Just great.

Yellow placed the rolled up map in his backpack, all the while scanning the crowd to see if he could spot any familiar faces. But just like he had thought, he saw nothing of the sort.

It was only him and Red in the middle of this sea.

Great.

After a while of scanning the crowd with the knowing feeling that it was no use, Yellow began to use his brain cells. The group of six had just stepped off of the plane after a two hour ride, receiving a map of the airport as they did so after having been told that the airport was quite big and that it would be very easy to get lost in such a place. Red had decided to take the initiative and began walking in circles, Yellow closely watching and following him since, obviously, Red wasn't a pro like he was. And when Yellow finally got the map in his possession and figured the way out, the others had disappeared.

Perhaps they got swept away by the crowd?

No, the crowd wasn't that big.

Maybe something caught their eye? Like a shop?

No, because otherwise, Red would've stopped immediately to check it out.

Then what could've happened?

Yellow began to pace around in a tight circle, wracking his brain for any more possible theories as to where the others could've gone. Due to his focus and the extreme power of having to use his brain cells, he didn't notice Red, who was trying to get his attention by waving his arms up and down.

Maybe they were playing a prank on them? That seemed likely...

Or maybe they wanted to explore before leaving? Wait, what if the airport had multiple floors like the first one they went in?
