S5'S EYES SCANNED OVER THE SCROLL, "Should i read it aloud or should we wait until we gather...?" She wondered aloud, "It didn't even occur in our conversations..."

She paused for a moment of consideration, "I'll just read it."

The girls of team Green listened intently as she spoke, "Number nine..." She adjusted her stance in a more comfortable position, "Capture the flag."

She looked up at the five girls, "There's a paragraph explaining it with rules and stuff. I'm not sure how intense this one may be, though." The girls nodded, each thinking of different ways the game could turn out.

On the other hand, the Blue team had been making a bit of progress. They had already found two scrolls and on the hunt for another.

They had managed to retrieve scroll number six and scroll number seventeen.

S1 thought aloud, "Do you think we'd have to do them in order?"

S24 hummed, "Hmm... I'm not sure. There's been nothing about the matter, right?" She asked, looking at S1.

S1 nodded, "Right." She continued to wonder, "I guess it's not a big deal then. But, you know, if all of the missions are like this, then i guess we really have nothing to worry about..."

"Yeah, i expected them to be... Harsh?" S24 chuckled sheepishly. "The games sound fun. Especially the dance battle."

The two continued talking while keeling an eye out for more scrolls, of course.

S13 of the Orange team decided to look around the ground first. Since she didn't have a plan on where to look, the girls scattered across their section in twos.

By the time it felt like they had been looking for forty minutes, S9 had eventually found a scroll. "Unnies!" She yelled, running towards S13 and S11, S10 following behind her.

S13 turned her head to look at her. She smiled excitedly, "You find something?"

S9 nodded eagerly and held up the scroll.

"S2, S6, come here!" S11 shouted towards the girls who weren't too far away.

After the Orange team had reunited, S13 nodded at S9 to open the scroll. She opened it and the bottom half unravelled, "Number one?" She read out, "Paranoia game..."

She read out the rules and explained it to her team. The girls understood and nodded.

S6 listened with her eyebrows raised, "That sounds fun!"

S10 nodded, "Yeah, it sounds more like a party game than a mission. I thought it'd be more intense." The girls agreed, then continued their mission to finding missions.

With team Yellow, they had been with most luck out of all the teams and had found three scrolls; Numbers eight, sixteen and nineteen.

"Fort making battle... That sounds so fun!" S23 exclaimed, looking up at S14 who read their third scroll out.

They had already found scrolls which contained a game of sardines, a fort making battle and a fashion show.

"It sounds more fun than i expected." S15 said, her lips pouting in approval as she nodded.

"Right? I was afraid i'd have to rip all your pretty faces off your own heads." S19 said casually, pretty sure of herself.

S21 nudged her in the arm, "What are you talking about?" She smirked, "I was more afraid i'd have to form bruises on all of your, somewhat, beautifully sculpted bodies." She feigned sadness and wiped fake tears.

S12 stared at them and deadpanned, "Y'all are driving me crazy." She sighed and looked at her leader, "When should we be heading back to the HAUS?"

"Good question," S14 said and looked up at the sky through the trees, "Perhaps we should look for another twenty minutes and head back then. We don't wanna miss dinner."

Turns out that the Orange team had similar ideas, as they arrived back at the HAUS just fifteen minutes after the Yellow team.

"Yo!" S13 shouted with the wave of a hand. The Yellow team looked up at them and waved back.

"You guys find anything?" S13 asked as the group reached the garden.

S14 nodded and held up their three scrolls, "Only three scrolls. What about you guys?"

"Two!" S13 smiled and S11 held up the two scrolls.

They continued chatting and catching eachother up on different things, like what the missions were, what they had found other than missions (which wasn't much, but mainly the huge wall), etc., etc.

S2 sighed, "S1-unnie and S5-unnie sure do take their jobs seriously. Its already been an hour since we got back..." She complained as she lay on a deck chair.

"I know. It's already five pm. I'm hungryyy." S12 complained with her as she sat on the edge of the pool with her legs dipped in, along with S6.

S15 squinted her eyes at the trees in the distance as she caught the sight of a group of people, "Is that... Team Green?" She asked as they continued making their way to the HAUS.

"What's up with S7-unnie?" S23 asked as she got a look of them aswell.

S7 was limping slightly, clutching onto S5. Although S5 was supporting her, she looked like she was ready to collapse at any second.

A few girls stood up to get a better look at the scene. When the Green team finally arrived at the HAUS, many girls rushed up to S7, worried.

"Woah, don't all rush at once. Let her breathe." S14 warned them all, placing her hands on a few shoulders.

"What happened, unnie, are you okay?" S10 asked worriedly as she helped her sit down on a deck chair.

S7 sighed, "Yeah, I-" She winced a little as she looked down at her leg.

"A branch snapped while climbing a tree, which cut her leg." S5 explained, "Luckily, she didn't fall off the tree, but made it down safetly before we decided that we should head back."

S16 nodded with her eyebrows furrowed, "The cut is quite deep, though." She lifted her head, "Does anyone know how to treat it?"

Since everyone's attention was focused on S7, they didn't notice that the Blue team had arrived back.

"What's happening over here?" S3 asked, trying to peek through the crowd of girls.

"What's going on?" S8 asked aswell, attempting to jump to see inside the huddle.

"Oh, the Blue team's back." S4 announced and a few people stepped back to greet them.

"Let's head inside and treat S7 asap." S15 said and ushered many girls towards the HAUS door.

S8 raised an eyebrow, "'Treat?'" She asked confusedly, "What do you mean 'treat'?"

When S7 stood from the deck chair, S5 and S17 helped her stand. Blood trickled down her leg and S8's eyes widened at the sight. She was about to hurry over to her, but then she saw how she limped in pain and decided to just wait until she was rested.

She didn't say anything, but simply followed after the girls into the HAUS, her mind in a whirl.

just so you guys know, i already know which ships that i want to get together (maybe👀) in the end, but i will consider stirring up some drama with other ships 😋

this was a bit of a filler since it was mainly just them finding missions and not much happened,
but when we start the actual 'missions' things will get more fun fs !!
