(Your POV)

It's been about a week since Terezi and I have been locked up. Jail life isn't as bad as Gamzee makes it out to be, but maybe it's because he's in jail so often. The only really not-so-cool thing is that we have to be awake at 4:30 AM, which I still haven't gotten used to. You could say I'm not an early bird. 

      "H3Y (Y/N), GU3SS WH4T 1 FOUND!" Sigh, what is it this time?

      "What?" Terezi's been 'finding' weird things all the time. 

      "1T'S 4 PUMPK1N. >:0"  I chuckled and rolled my eyes. 

      "Are there any knives inside it?" 

      "1 DON'T TH1NK SO." Well that's a relief. If Terezi tried to lick it, she would slice her tongue off! 

      "Okay, well I'm gonna try to pick my lock. Got any hairpins?" I've seen Terezi wearing them before, but she might not have one now.

      "NO, BUT 1 DO H4V3 4 F4C3-ST1CK. 1'LL SL1D3 1T THROUGH." Turns out, trolls call hairpins 'face-sticks.' As Terezi slid the little black metal stick under the cell walls, I started to plan how I would escape without being caught. This may be harder than I thought. 

I took the hairpin and shoved my hand through the bars of the cell door. The lock was sitting right next to the window. I could almost touch the lock, just need to push my hand a little farther... Nope, I can't do it. The bars are too close together. Guess that escape plan won't work. 

Trying to pull my arm back into the cell, I noticed that my medical bracelet was caught on the lock. Just my luck! I told my mom that I didn't need a medical bracelet for (allergy), but did she listen? Noooo, she made me wear it everywhere. I struggled to get the bracelet to detatch from the lock, but nothing was working, so I admitted defeat. 

      "(Y/N), WH4T'S WRONG? YOU SOUND FRUSTR4T3D." Terezi asked. 

      "Nothing, don't worry. Just got my bracelet caught on something." 

      "TH3N WHY DON'T YOU JUST T4K3 1T OFF?" 

      "B-because.. I don't want to." I lied. But Terezi saw (or smelled, I guess) right through it.

      "L13S. 1 C4N CL34RLY S33 TH4T YOU GOT STUCK TRY1NG TO P1CK TH3 LOCK." How did she know?

>Be Terezi, three minutes earlier

(Terezi (from three minutes ago)'s POV)

This place is soooo boring! Why hasn't (Y/N) talked about escaping yet? I know they're smart enough to want to escape, 'cuz we both know we're totally innocent. There must be something horribly wrong with the officer guy's thinkpan if he thinks he can keep me in a cage like some flapbeast! No one can imprison me! I am a hero! (jeez Terezi ik you're excited but you don't need to sound like America xd)     

I need to channel my adrenaline, and maybe I can save (Y/N) in the meantime! Hmm..how do I do that? I need a plan...

Uhg! I wish that stupid officer didn't take my chalk, cuz I could use it to map out my escape plan. SOme people are really inconsiderate these days. Its a shame >:| 

I have an idea! 

Crash! 

One swift kick and the door is down! This place could use some more sturdy doors, it was way to easy to kick it down. Really, I should run this place. Then people like me and (Y/N) wouldn't be stuck in here in the first place!

But anyways, I pass (Y/N), who is completely oblivious to my plan, a face stick, and work on picking the lock on their door. Too bad I just got rid of my only face stick. I knew I should've listened to Nepeta! So I guess the only option is using my horns. I have to bend down to be able to fit it in! This is really uncomfortable. But it gets even more uncomfortable when I feel a hand petting my hair. I quickly stand up, fully prepared to punch a guard in teh face if necessary. But it's just (Y/N), who was trying to pick her own lock. But her wrist is stuck! I must resist the urge not to laugh at the humans' mistake!

Too late!

(You, present)'s POV

"C'mon Ter (nickname lol), it's not funny." I whined, still fighting to get my hand free. 

"1'M SORRY, 1T'S JUST..1 C4N'T B3L13V3 YOU H4V3N'T T4K3N TH4T STUP1D BR4C3L3T OFF Y3T." Terezi giggled.

"Shut up and get it off!" I raised my voice, which is rare for me. (or usual, depends what you're like. idk your personality)

"4LR1GHT, 4LR1GHT." I felt the bracelet being torn away slowly, and I think Terezi bit it off???I'm not sure. But the good thing is that the bracelet is gone, and I'm free! Sliding my hand back into the cell, I realized that if Terezi could get out of the cell, then I could too! Too late- She already kicked down the door. It takes me a few seconds for the realization to register.

"We're free!!!" I shouted, jumping up and down like an idiot schoolgirl.

"Y34 1 KNOW, NOW L3T'S G3T OUT B3FOR3 W3 G3T C4UGHT." Terezi took my arm and we ran through the hallways of the jail, finally bolting out the exit, on our way to our home.
