《Winter Wonderland》The Schemer of the Scalding Sands: part 8

The carpet took off into the beautiful night sky, as Y/n held on Yuuna for dear life. After all, it was her first time flying on something where she wasn't secured, like seatbelts or something? Plus, if she fell, she can fly?
"WOO-HOO! We made it! See ya, suckers!" Grim cheered, as Yuuna smiled in relief to finally be outside of the dorm. "FREEDOOOOM!" Yuuna and Grim shouted in unison.
"Be quiet, will you?! My ears!"
Meanwhile, down below.
"Ah!" Kareem looked up to the sky to see the magic carpet. "Look over there- they're riding the housewarden's magic carpet!" he said, pointing up to the carpet.
"Find they break out, then they rob us?" Omar asked. "The housewarden will never let us hear the end of it if he finds out!" he warned.
"We have to seive them!" Salman advised. "Hold it right there, thieves!" he shouted towards the to in the air.
"Nyeh heh heh! If you wanna catch us, try learin' to fly first!" Grim said, snickering.
"By the way, how do you steer this carpet?" Yuuna asked
"Steer it?" questioned Grim.
"Mhm. Like uh...a car?" questioned Y/n. She had not idea how margic carpets worked.
"Uhh, I think Kalim took hold of the corner tassels and tugged at 'em like this...Myah!" Grim tuggeed on the tassels, which had the carpet do a flip.
"!!!!"
Yuuna felt her stomach doing flips as Y/n made sure to have a tight hold on Yuuna, being prepared in case they fell, in which, Y/n would have to carry Grim and Yuuna out.
"Hey! Less with the 360, more with fly quickly!" Grim ordered.
"!!!"
"Grim! Stop!" Y/n shrieked as Yuuna let out a scream.
"GYAAAH!" Grim yelped as well. "The world is spinning! Y/n, make it stooop!"
"I wish I knew how!" Y/n shouted.
"Eeeek!" Yuuna screamed as the margic carpet then headed back inside Scarabia, heading towards the mirror.

"They're going outside of the dorm! After them, quick!" the Scarabia students shouted as they chase the trio.
"AAAH! We're gonna crash right into the mirror!" Grim shrieked. Y/n and Yuuna held onto each other, making sure to not fall.
*WHAM*
The carpet took them through the Scarabia mirror, leading them to the Hall of Mirrors. Soon, the carpet then zoomed into another mirror, causing the trio to crash.
"MrooooOOOoooow..." Grim groaned in pain.
"Ugh...." whimpered Y/n. "Where are we?"
Yuuna whimpered in pain. "Is this the afterlife?"
The lights then flickered on as the Amaryllis trio were all in an awkward position. Y/n was pinned by Yuuna with Grim on top of her back. What's worse was their Octvanielle dorm uniform was a mess.
"Well, well. What have we here? Patrons in search of a little midnight snack, perhaps?" the voice asked. It was Jade, who came into their vision with his brothers. They just looked like bats to Y/n since she was looking upside down to see.
"Aw, maan. I was totally ready to squeeze any burglars to nab out food supplies like Angelfish try to do when she came back" Floyd chuckled at the memory. "It's just little shrimp, the seal, and angelfish herself. Laaame"
"Wha...? What're you guys doin' here?" Grim asked, completely dizzy.
"Didn't we already go over this? We can't go home over winter break because of ice floes, remember?" Floyd reminded.
"Wait, so we're in Octavinelle?!" Grim asked in a hopeful tone, hopping off of Yuuna's back.
"Yes. Inside the Mostro Lounge, to be precise" Jade tells them as he looked at Yuuna and Y/n. "And I suggest for you to get off of angelfish, after all, Azul would be quite jealous in your position"
Yuuna looked at Jade at confused, before looking down at Y/n.
"Yuuna...get your boobs off my face! I need oxygen!" Y/n said. Though her voice was a little muffled.
"S-sorry!" Yuuna shrieked before getting off of Y/n quickly.

Y/n gasp for air as she sat up, coughing a bit.
"We...WE MADE IT!" Grim cheered, turning towards the two females. "Finally, we've broken outta that awful prison!"
"Yeppie!" Yuuna and Y/n said in unison, clapping their hands together.
"A Prison?" questioned Jade, tilting his head. "Care to elaborate?"
"And what's this rectangular flounder-lookin' guy?" Floyd asked, pointing to the magic carpet.
"It looks a lot like Kalim's magic carpet, actually..." Jade noted.
Then a sniffle was heard. Everyone turned to the person who was letting out tears of joy.
"Yuuna..." Y/n muttered in shock.
"W-we're finally out...?" Yuuna asked, tears rolling down her face. She was so happy that they were outside. "F-finally..."
"Little shrimp.." Floyd waked over to Yuuna and gave her a big hug. "That's right. You're here now! So don't cry, little shrimp!" he cooed. "I'll squeeze the ones who made you cry!"
"N-no, no one made we cry" Yuuna sniffled.
Suddenly, footsepd lacked through the aqua halls, causing Yuuna and Grim to flinch, as Y/n walked in front of them, about to attack.
"There's no escape for now, thieves!" Kareem shouted, pointing his pen at the trio.
"Surrender quietly!" Omar ordered.
"Mrow?! You chased us all the way here?!" Grim yelped.
"You guys are seriously stubborn, you know that?" Y/n hissed, swaying her tail in a threatening manner, along with fluttering her wings to threaten the Scarabia boys.
Then, another pair of footsteps was heard, heading towards the noise. "What's all the commotion at this late hour?" the voice asked. It was Azul, who adjusted his glasses. He then turned to the trio, more specially, the state Y/n was in. "Angelfish...?!"
"Hey, Azul-senpai..." Y/n waved cheekily.
"You're Azul Ashengrotto, the housewarden of Octavinelle!" Omar paled a bit.
"Would you care to explain what's going on here?" Azul demanded, walking towards the Leech twins and the Amaryllis trio.
"It's none of Octavinelle's business. Just hand over the three of them quietly" Kareem ordered.
"Oh, my...!" Azul panicked a bit, placing a hand on top of Y/n's expose breasts, having a dark blush on his face. He quickly than fixed Y/n's uniform that had shifted to Octavinelle's like Yuuna since they flew in here. "There...Are you okay, my angelfish?" he asked.
Y/n nodded. "Yes. Thank you, I didn't even notice that"
"Hey, don't ignore us!" Omar shouted.
Yuuna flinched, as the Leech Twins held onto Yuuna in a protective stance with Grim on her shoulders. "P-please, save us with your spirit of benevolence"
Azul seemed to be deep thought, "...Hmmm" he then let out a smirk. "I do believe it's my business. After all, you guys are after my lovely angelfish and her friends" he said before kissing part of Y/n horn, making her blush a bit.
The two Scarabia students paled a bit. "If you refuse to hand them over, you'll be party to their wrongdoings as well!" Kareem warned.
"Hey, are you yankin' my tail here?" Floyd asked, reverting to his scary tone. "Who do you think you're talking to?"
"No fighting of any kind is permitted in the Mostro Lounge" Azul warned, keeping Y/n in his embrace, as her wing wrapped around him as well, in her own little embrace. "This is a place for gentlemen," Azul tells them, having a small blush on his face.
"What was that?" Kareem tilted his head. "You're interfering?"
"Fine. We'll just do this the hard way!" Omar shouted.
"Hmph. I think it's time we asked these ill-mannered patrons to leave" Azul said, turning his head towards the Leech twins. "Jade. Floyd. Show them the door" he ordered.
"Yes, sir/ on it" Jade and Floyd smirked, stepping in front of Yuuna.
Floyd narrowed his eyes. "You bastards made my little shrimp cry...I'm going to squeeze you until you pop!"
'I can imagine that this won't be pretty?'
'Nope. Not at all'
'Ahahaha...'
