At the Yurindale academy.....
"What's taking her so long??!" Tina groaned.
"Can't we just leave already?" Jack sighs and takes Tina's hand, pulling her away from school.
Tina resisted.
"I love you, but, no... She's our friend we have to wait for her...."
"Tina, it's already 5:30 pm..."
"..."
"Tina, what if her mom picked her up already?"
"....."
A few moments passed...
"Yeah, I guess we should go," she says.
"Alright."
They walk together to their homes.
Apparently they're lucky that they like each other and are neighbors.

Oh! And they finally arrived at their homes.
"Bye Jack!" Tina waves at him.
"Bye Tina...!" Jack waves back.
They both whirl around and went in their houses.....

They did the typical stuff when they got home....
They did homework, procrastinated a bit, ate dinner, continued doing homework, and slept on this peaceful Friday night...

-12 A.M.-
Tina felt a could touch push her shoulder and she immediately wakes up.
"Hnnnnngh?"
She notices her mom is there.
"Honey, Iris is missing."
"Wh... What?!!"
"Shhhh.... You don't want to wake up your dad..."
"Okay..."
"I'm gonna go find her along with her parents, alright?"
"'Kay, mom..."
Tina's mother pushes Tina down gently to her bed, tucks her in, and kisses her forehead.
"Goodnight- er... Morning sweetie... That was just a heads up."
Tina's mom heads out the bedroom door.
Tina pretends to sleep. When she hears the car starting and leaving, she immediately grabs her phone and calls Jack.

Ring..... Ring...... Ring....

-Meanwhile at Jack's house...-

Jack feels a vibrating sensation under his soft pillow.
"Huhnn.....?"
Jack checks to see who it is.
Tina? This early...?
He answers her call.
Jack yawns.
"What's up?"
"Iris is missing and your parents and my mom are trying to find her FYI."
"Really?!!!"
"I told you we should've hadn't left."
.....
.....
"... So what do we do now...?"
"Wait I'm coming over to talk to you. Is that okay?"
"Sure why not."
"Great!"
They both hang up.

-Moments later... Tina and Jack are sitting on Jack's bed-

"...... So we need to go back to school and find her!!!!!"
"...."
"What?"
"Do you think your dad will be fine with it?"
"Whatever, Jack. She's our friend. We know her better than our parents do. Now c'mon. Let's go!

-They both arrive at school-

Pant pant pant....
Pant... Pant..
"Did... You... Find anything?"
"Nope," Jack replied.
They kept looking, thinking what could've happened to her.
After a few minutes later....
"TINA!"
"Huh? What?!"
"I found somethin'!"
"What???!!"
Tina runs over to the back of the school.
"Breadcrumbs! Iris always eats toast every after school, remember?"
"Oh yeah.... Great!!! Now we can find her! Good job!"
Tina jumps up and gives Jack a hug.
"Heh..."
He shyly puts his hand on the back of his head.
Tina finally gets off.
"... But Jack..."
"Huh?"
"What if that was someone else who eats toast....?"
"Oh.... That... Right...,"
"...."
"...."
"... Well... Let's just follow the tracks and see,"
"Alright."
They follow the trail of breadcrumbs to the park.

"The park?? What could she be doing in a place like this? Procrastinating?"
"Jack, don't be mean."
"Sorry.."
"Wait. The tracks don't end here...."
"Huh? Yes they do. All I see is the fence blocking some place."
"No Jack....."
Tina walks towards the fence.
"TINA YOU'RE GONNA HIT YOUR HE-"
Tina suddenly disappears.
"Tina....?"
Jack hears a whisper.
Jack come through the fence.....
Through the fence.....
The fence.....
Fence.....
Jack takes a deep breath.
"Whatever you say, Tina..."
He walks in through the fence...
