It was raining hard out, so hard that the students could see that it was somewhat flooding the streets. Some chose to stay in the school, but others were allowed to leave as a lockdown to make sure their family is alright and to stay safe with them.

Nyx and Nox stayed because Nyx is needed to stay while Nox wanted to stick by her side. Goldy and Pandy were there but have the group's younger siblings with them after NightFox came by and now she was stuck inside the school with the rest of them. Cora and Ruth went home, Ruth having aquaphobia and it soon turned to her having anxiety about thoughts of the school getting flooded and not getting out. Same with Stella, having to get Summer in a safe place.

A few more decided to head back home before the rain grew harder.


Puppeteer and Conjurer were a different. They stayed, Zoey and Owen with them as they were almost across the building in a classroom of their own to get some space from the other panicked students. Fiona, Nightmarionne, Rastus, and May were in the kitchen to make some food for the few students that were in the cafeteria with the four.

"Puppeteeer?" Conjurer noticed that Puppeteer was very quiet during that time, causing him to worry. But then he raised an eyebrow and reached a hand over, and placed two fingers over her wrist, checking her pulse, and immediately held her shoulder to feel that her pulse was rapid, almost going miles per hour.

"Dark!" Owen shouts, and immediately clung to Zoey who tried to calm him down while she tried her best to calm Puppeteer down, moving her mask over her face, and Conjurer stared at the endless black beyond the windows, and he tried to calm down but Owen grabbed his hand and smacked his mask on, and Conjurer noticed the glow-in-the-dark paint on it with Puppeteer's.

"I-I can't..." Puppeteer's voice was quiet, strained. Conjurer stared before squeezing her hand and looked at Owen, giving him his mask.

"C-Conjuruer...?"

"You two stay with Puppeteer, I'm going to go and find a flashlight." Conjurer said.

"But that's almost across the entire building!" Zoey exclaimed, holding Conjurer's hand and he held the little girl close before raising her arms to Puppeteer's arm.

"And you need to be here and help your cousin. Percy told me that you know how to help Puppeteer out of her panic attack, so you have to help her. I'm going to go and..." Conjurer looked back at the darkness and sucked in a breath. "I'm going to go and find a flashlight and come right back."

Owen and Zoey looked at each other before loudly yelping when lightning clapped and light flashed outside. Conjurer, stares before looking over and saw that Owen's flashlight had lost the batteries. I need to hurry. He hurried outside, and he chose a random hallway and began running down, ignoring the nagging voice behind his head about Security giving him a ticket for running in the halls. But he didn't care at that moment. His pup is having a panic attack, and he soon would have one if he didn't hurry and find a flashlight.

Barging into the cafeteria after realizing where he was, he ran over to see Rastus and May handing out flashlights, Nyx with the two holding anything that could start a light source. When she spotted Conjurer running over to them, she immediately gave him one.

"Where's Puppeteer, Zoey, and Owen?" Nyx asked.

"Across the building, Puppeteer is having a panic attack-" Conjurer felt a tug on his cardigan, and looked over to see Zoey and Owen there, a nervous expression on both their faces.

"Wha-" he began, but stopped when Owen placed the mask on Conjurer's hand and looked at him.

"Puppeteer needs you, Conjurer." Zoey said, pushing him towards the entrance into the cafeteria. "Me and Owen would stay here with the others." she said, seeing Charlie run over and hug them tightly, glancing around in fear as Marionette came by, holding a flashlight.

Conjurer sighs before nodding to them and looked at Nyx before running out of the building.

"Where are they going?" Nova asked, holding Maya close while Nox hugged the two and holding Nyx's hand.

"Going to help someone." Nyx answers simply, ruffling the little one's hair before they continued around, giving everyone flashlights while keeping Nightman at bay and Nightglow swapping batteries between her flashlight and Owen's flashlight, giving him a working flashlight and her with dead batteries but she didn't mind for the time being, seeing that there were several flashlights all around.


Conjurer made it back to the classroom, using the flashlight, and immediately ran over to Puppeteer to see that she was breathing normally, looking up to see him there, and glanced away as he slowly closed the door behind him and walked over, sitting down beside her, backs on the wall and underneath the window into the classroom.

"Doing alright, Pup?" he whispers, holding her close.

"I'm feeling better." she answers, leaning closing to him as he soon calmed down slowly, eyes closed behind his mask.

"Hey, look over for a second Conjy?" she whispers, making him look at him with a hum. She had taken off her mask, and there was a smirk on her face as she reached over, pushed the mask from Conjurer's face, and planted a kiss on his lips before putting their masks back on and sitting back in contentment while Conjurer began to short-circuit.

For others, it may seem like a bad thing that they are stuck in the school, during a thundering storm, with a power outage.

But there are some, like Conjurer and Puppeteer, that first thought it was bad, but soon grew to like it.
