Book of Love: Rini One Shots

Parent Trapped

Summary: After an argument, Ricky and Nini try to avoid each other at all cost, which negatively effects the friend group. So their friends of course did what any regular person would do, create a scheme to mend them together again.

************************************************

None of their friends knew why they were so angry with each other.

All they know is that one day they were close friends and the next they were strangers. It apparently happened sometime over summer break. They knew that they had been hanging out and that something happened that was bad enough for them to try to avoid any form of communication.

If one found out that the other was appearing at a group hang out, they'd not attend. It forced the group of friends to invite one of them and exclude the other, which they really hated doing because it was more fun with everyone included.

The very few times when they did have to be around each other they would pretend the other didn't exist. They also would turn the other way when they saw each other in the hallways of the school. They only spoke once for the past few months, and it wasn't even a full sentence.

The friends decided that enough was enough and decided that they needed to devise a plan that would ensure they would become friends again to diminish this feud. They all agreed to meet at Ashlyn's place to discuss their plan.

"Okay so what I think we should do is try to find out why each of them are mad at each other. I know that anytime it's brought up they both change the subject quickly, so we'll really have to force it out of them." Ashlyn suggested.

"Well how exactly would we go about that? Both of them are super stubborn especially Ricky. That kid can fall off the earth at any second." Carlos said.

"Yeah he's right. They will never actually tell us what caused them to be angry with each other that simply. We need to think of something else. Maybe something more forceful." Gina said.

They all sat and thought of possible ways to make them be in the same room that forces them to talk.

"Oh my god, I think I've got an idea! How about we plan to meet at an escape room and then invite the both of them, but we don't show up. They'll be forced to be in the same room for like 30 minutes to an hour so they'd have to work together to leave and also hopefully work out their problem." Seb suggested.

The others all looked at each other to see their opinions, and they all seemed to have been on the same page.

"Alright it seems like we all like that idea. We can aim for this Saturday. I know the exact place to do it. I don't mind calling in." Kourtney said.

"I really hope this works. This is either going to blow up in our faces or bring all of us together." Big Red said.

Ashlyn rests her hand on his shoulder and gives him a reassuring smile. "Let's just hope for the best."

The group was beyond stressed about what was to come in the next few minutes. They had all rode in the same van to make sure both Ricky and Nini appeared at the escape room.

They told Nini an earlier time so that they wouldn't walk in at the same time, but she would only arrive ten minutes earlier. They all agreed that Kourtney would be the one to greet the both of them, so she was already waiting for them inside. She would let Nini in first and tell her the others were on the way and then let Ricky in. Before either could run, she'll close the door which automatically locks.

They all were waiting anxiously in Ashlyn's mom's van constantly looking at their phone to check the time.

"Dudes I'm sweating like a pig from all of this anticipation." Big Red began airing out his hoodie.
