(Takes place during the class trip in September, spoilers.)
“Ryuji, Ryuji, wake up!”
Ryuji slowly stirred awake at the call of his name. He grumbled swears under his breath as he had just finally gotten to sleep just minutes ago. After a round of cards, he had lost and was made to sleep on the floor. The school trip to Hawaii seemed to be a bust so far. Why couldn’t they do anything interesting while they were across the sea.
Once he got his vision back, he noticed Akira and Mishima standing over him.
“What the eff, guys? I’m trying to sleep.” Ryuji sat up.
“We’re gonna die!” Mishima yelled, cradling his head in his hands.
“Relax, Mishima,” Akira sighed. This wasn’t what he meant when he wanted Mishima to stop talking about the Phan-site.
“What’s going on?” Ryuji asked, standing up.
“WE SHRUNK!” Mishima screeched, still panicking.
Scanning his surroundings, Ryuji realized that Mishima wasn't lying. They had indeed shrunken. As far as they could tell, they were no bigger than a grain of rice, and that was being generous. The hotel room had become an alien landscape at their new stature to the point where it was nearly unrecognizable.
"Wait, if we're tiny, does that mean Ann also—"
As if on cue, a roaring snore echoed across the room. Sure enough, their question was answered, and they weren't sure if that was a good thing or not.
"Well that answers that," Akira quipped. Without hesitating, he began to walk over to the source of the noise. Mishima followed suit.
Ryuji lingered behind. He was still unsure whether or not Ann would help. As a team member, he trusted her to help, but as a friend… He wouldn't put it above her to toy around and tease her tiny friends. However, he didn't have much of a choice unless he wanted to live off the crumbs of everyone who stayed in the hotel room for the rest of his life.
***
After a long and tiring climb, the three boys managed to get to the top of the bed. Ann had let a blanket sloppily hang off the edge of the bed, and they took advantage of it by hiking up the slopes. They slumped over, collapsing on each other a they began to take a much needed breather.
"What now, leader?" Mishima asked between breaths.
Akira considered what to do next.
