They all entered the storage room.
"Unfortunately, there isn't a bathroom here," Mai observed, chuckling and crossing her arms.
"Man, I can't hold it anymore," Holly said in an annoyed, whiny tone.
"We need to find a solution," Pearl said, crossing her arms. She always felt a strong sense of protectiveness over Holly.
"Alright, calm down,lesbo" Mai teased Pearl with a chuckle, and Aki laughed along.
"Alright, how about I accompany Holly to the bathroom and ensure she's okay? Meanwhile, you two can stay here, clear the area, and make sure it's safe for the night," Mai suggested, still smiling teasingly.
Aki and Pearl nodded in agreement. Mai then carefully led Holly through the hallway to the bathroom on the other side of the school.
One hour passed, and Mai and Holly still hadn't returned, leaving Pearl feeling increasingly nervous and worried about Holly.
Pearl paced back and forth. "What if something happened to her?" she asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, Mai is with her," Aki said, trying to calm Pearl down.
"But what if Mai couldn't keep her safe? I have my doubts about Mai's physical abilities, no offense," Pearl sighed.
"Well, she may have a small physique, but she's loyal and would put Holly's safety above her own if anything went wrong," Aki responded, smiling as she thought about Mai.
"You're worrying yourself too much, Pearl. Mai will come back with your little girlfriend," Aki teased as she sat on the ground.
"Holly is not my girlfriend; we're just best friends," Pearl stuttered slightly.
"Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm sorry," Aki said, raising her hands in mock surrender.
Two more hours passed.
"Aki, this is getting serious. We need to go find them," Pearl said, her worry evident.
"Alright, alright," Aki agreed, feeling concerned as well. She stood up.
They assured the two girls who were with them that they would return and then set out to find Mai and Holly.
"Where do you think we should look for them?" Pearl asked.
"Let's check all the bathrooms first," Aki suggested, and they began their search.
Meanwhile, in the school's cafeteria, Mai and Holly were talking.
"Holly, look at that! It's a big lollipop," Mai exclaimed with a smile.
Holly smiled and picked one up. "I could get it for free now," she said, taking the lollipop.
"We should head back. Aki must be worried," Mai reminded her.
"Okay," Holly nodded in agreement.
As Mai and Holly were heading back, they suddenly stumbled upon a horde of walkers.
"Mai!" Holly panicked.
"Run, Holly!" Mai yelled, grabbing her hand and quickly dragging her along as they fled
