We Were Infinite

thrown out. again.

"Come on, everybody! Time to start loading onto the airship. Let's go!" Shiloh called out as we all made our way into the massive plane.

"How is this thing so big?!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide with amazement at the sheer size of it.

"Oh, that's just the outside, (Y/N). It's even bigger on the inside," Elijah explained, grinning like he knew a big secret.

"What?! How can it get bigger?!" I asked, completely baffled. Elijah just shrugged and ran off to catch up with the others.

"Ugh," I groaned, shaking my head before sprinting after him.

"I'm starting in the kitchen!" Judah shouted excitedly as he ran up the airship's stairs, clearly eager to get going.

"I'm starting in the library!" Mary chimed in, following behind him.

"What? You can't just pick where you start!" Shiloh called out, frowning as she tried to organize everyone.

"No one can stop me!" Judah yelled back from the top of the stairs, not pausing for anyone.

"Judah! Wait for me!" I called out as I raced after him, both of us trying to figure out where the kitchen was. We darted through the ship, looking for signs or any clues.

"Judah? Why'd you start here if there were no tasks?" I asked when we finally made it to the kitchen and found nothing waiting for us.

"The snacks... duh!" Judah grinned, immediately flinging open some cupboards and grabbing food. Before I could react, an emergency meeting was called.

"Where?!" everyone shouted, immediately crowding together.

"Someone mixed (Y/N)'s Skittles in with the M&Ms!" Shiloh announced, her voice tinged with panic. We all gasped in horror. "And now that's all the candy we have!" she continued, the gravity of the situation sinking in. "AND they used the green bowl!" she added dramatically.

Everyone looked around, confused. "It's the bowl we use to feed the cat," Shiloh and I explained at the same time.

"Ahhh! Oh no!" everyone cried out in unison.

"Red isn't here!" Judah shouted, slamming his hands onto the table in frustration.

"Okay, is anybody sus?" Elijah asked, trying to focus the conversation.

"No one's sus! Because Red isn't here!" Judah continued to shout, his voice rising in pitch. "I trust every single one of you! I trust you! And I trust you! I trust you!" He pointed dramatically at everyone in the room.

I glanced over at Britney, who was wearing a different colored onesie and a wig. "D-does he know?" Daniel asked, pointing toward Judah.

"I'm doing this for everyone," Britney whispered back, her tone barely audible.

"I trust you because you're not Red," Judah said, smiling at Britney with a sort of odd relief.

"Okay! We don't have enough info, so I say we skip," Shiloh interjected, stopping Judah before things could get too out of hand.

"Skip!" everyone agreed.

"Okay, everybody! Mom gave us each a list of tasks to do while we're on the airship, so let's get them done!" Shiloh passed out the task cards. I handed one to Micah, who passed it to Jocelyn, both giving me a thumbs-up in return.

"And remember, there are still three imposters!" Elijah added, reminding everyone.

I looked over at Daniel, knowing exactly how he would react. "Don't worry! I'm used to it!" Daniel shouted as he walked off, clearly trying to convince himself as much as anyone else.
