Escape Room

This one-shot is a request from @craigysmiles with the prompt being about Steps going to an escape room. Hope you enjoy! I have no idea about escape rooms so hopefully this is okay. The questions plus the answers mentioned later in this chapter are from all across the internet xx

"And once again we're doing something weird." Lisa announces while the band is walking towards the hall that is named 'Escape room'. None of them was in an escape room previously so while they were partly looking forward, they also were quite nervous about how this room was made and if they really could escape - not that they need to escape from something but it definitely is exciting. 

"It's not weird. I saw that on tv and thought it's something that we could do too." H arguments, closing the door behind them. "So it says we should just walk towards this room and then find the door that leads us back to the hall."

"What if we get lost?" Faye asks shyly. "I don't want to get lost."

"You can't get lost in an escape room." Claire replies with a slight laugh, amused by her bandmate's behaviour. True she wasn't too fond to go to that escape room either but H somehow convinced her that it could be fun. 

"I saw those horror movies where people got lost in these rooms!" Faye literally shouts. 

"Faye, shush please. Let's just look, I bet it's fun." Lisa assures the blonde. "So, we could walk over there, what do you all think?" she asks, making a step forward. She watches the light flickering before its turned off, the room now completely dark.

"No!" she hears Faye shouting. "No, let me out of this room! Turn the lights on, please! Please open the door!" 

"Shush, that's fun!" H replies. "I saw that previously. We need to find the next room and there'll be light again. So, which way?"

"We can't see anything, H." Lee chuckles. "How about following Lisa and just going forward? Lisa, you're still there?" 

"Yes, on my place!" Lisa says from across the room. She listens closely to the footsteps echoing through the room, her bandmates seeming to walk towards her. Occasionally a swearword is audible when one of them seems to trip over something; mostly it's H who's saying these swearwords. "H for real, stop swearing! What if there's a camera or something?"

"Then someone can at least laugh about us." H answers and the others could basically see is grin through the dark. "Let's go now and search for the keys before someone of us freaks out."

"Thanks H, that's appreciated." Faye snaps. 

"Oh come on, no arguments now." Lee says, walking forward slowly until accidentally standing on someone's feet. "Sorry- whoever that was." he chuckles. 

"Me." H replies annoyed.

"Thank you, Lee!" Faye says happily. "Hey H, don't make me trip! That was a joke!" she says.

"Enough now!" Claire says angrily. "I thought we're attending an escape room for fun and not to argue. Seriously, stop arguing now." she demands, hearing both of her bandmates sighing before they apparantely decide to keep quiet and focus on searching the keys. 

"I found something!" H cheers, patting on whatever he found. It seems like a box and he's certain the keys must be hidden in it; knowing from watching people in escape rooms that sometimes the keys could be hidden somewhere. "The boxs is stuck on the floor though."

"That's no box, that's my shoe, mate." Lee laughs. "I assume the keys must be somewhere on the wall."

"Oh, sorry." H chuckles. "So where's the wall though? Can't see anything and- oh, wait. I found something." he cheers, patting against the wall upon finding the key. Now all he needs to do is finding the correct door so they could walk in the next room and H must admit that he firmly hopes that the new room would not be darkened too.
