"Ughhh…. My head…." Gao groaned, standing up with his head buried in his unwrapped hand.

The boy stood up and looked around the environment curiously, seeing greenery around him.

"W-where am I…? Drum? Drum, where are you?" the boy called, noticing the dress he wore. "W-WHAT IS THIS?!"

Gao looked at his red hooded cape with white visible seams showing, his white frilly apron with black seams, and his brown and white knee length dress as he spun around like a dog chasing it's tail.

"Why am I in a dress?! Am I in heels too?!" the boy asked, lifting up his dress a bit too high to look at his feet.

Gao sighed in relief when he saw his feet covered in brown shin length boots with black seams, rubber, flaps, and laces, just half an inch heel. His legs were also covered by knee length grey socks with little creased lines in the fabric.

"At least they aren't high heels.. I need to find Drum now. Where could he be…?" Gao asked himself, tripping over a bright basket right next to him. "WHOA! AUGH!"

The boy looked at the basket curiously and sat up to get a closer look.

"…. Wait… Red cape… Dress… Basket…. The woods about an inch away from me…. Does that mean food?" the boy wondered, searching through the basket. "Yep, I see cookies. But they don't look safe…"

Gao stood back up and picked up the basket from the floor, allowing it to slip into the valley of his arm.

"I'll take it with me anyways.. Just in case.. Someone must've lost this," the boy said, walking into the woods casually.

"Where is Drum… Wait, are the others here too?" the boy asked himself, beginning to pick up his pace into a sprint.

A figure suddenly began to follow the running boy, frightening him a little and halting his path. The figure stopped chasing the boy and waited for him to continue running. Instead of continuing, Gao went over to the hiding person and found Rouga growling to himself, his white ears twitching and his long bushy tail swishing around annoyingly.

"Rouga?" Gao asked.

"What?" the boy replied sharply, glaring with his violet orbs.

"Why are you wearing ripped up clothes? And why do you have a tail and a pair of ears?"

"How should I know?! At least I'm not in a dress!"

Gao flinched a little and held up his hands in between the two to defend himself.

"Okay, okay.. Forget I said anything…" Gao replied defenselessly. "Ah. Have you seen Drum? Or Tasuku and Yuna? Maybe anyone else?"

"No, I haven't. And I still want to know how I ended up here with you.." the boy grumbled.

"Beats me.." Gao shrugged, walking away.

Rouga sighed and began to roam around the area for something and walked ahead from Gao, away from sight right after.

"What to do, what to do? What if I was stuck in this place? Would Mom be worried?" Gao thought aloud. "Now I think about it.. Am I supposed to be Little Red Riding Hood? I mean I am in red and stuck in a forest with a basket of food that I could eat right now, even though it looks poisoned. I wonder if Rouga was supposed to be the wolf. Then who's the hunter and my grandma?"

The boy stumble upon a light brown log cabin, and stared at it uncomfortably as he stopped right in front of the unoccupied looking place.

"I guess I'm going to find out really soon…." he said, walking closer to the house.

Gao cautiously opened the door to the warm cabin and looked around the messy room, a medium sized bed in the back center of the small area. A giant lump was formed in the white covers of the bed, not really surprising the boy.

"G-Granny….?" the boy asked nervously, opening the door fully to enter.

"Yes?" a high pitched gruff sound voice responded, coughing right after.

'Yeah, definitely don't know who that is…' Gao shuddered, frowning at the voice a bit.

"Little Red? Is that you?" the voice asked, coughing again.

"Er…. Y-yes?" Gao replied.

"Oh good, come here to the side of my bed." the voice said. 'Oh god, please don't…'

"Uhhh, okay….." Gao said, complying to the voice.

'Idiot. I just said don't,' the person thought, covering up half of their face.

"R-Rouga…?" Gao asked, trying hard not to laugh. "I-IS THAT A NIGHT CAP? HAHAHA, OH MY GOD, THAT LOOKS- HAHA- REALLY GREAT ON- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"QUIT LAUGHING YOU IDIOT!" Rouga exclaimed, throwing the bed sheets off himself and revealing what extras he was wearing.

Gao went quiet and studied the flushed Rouga in a light blue granny looking nightgown and light blue night cap, failing to keep his laugh in once again.

"… Pfft… PWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU LOOK GOOD IN THAT! HAHAHAHA," Gao bursted.

"MIKADO!" the teen exclaimed embarrassingly.

Impatient knocking and a familiar muffled voice in the closet was heard behind Gao, making him stop again and turn around.

"Uhhhhh, is someone else in here?" Gao asked, looking at the noisy closet.

Rouga muttered something under his breath and headed over to the closet door, opening the dark brown door to reveal Jin in a pink nightgown for elders, pink fluffy house slippers, and matching frilly nightcap.

"It was getting stuffy in there, you know!" the boy said, crossing his arms and looking at the two.

Jin's eyes caught sight of Rouga's appearance, making him the second person to laugh at him for the time being.

"HAHAHA, IS THAT ROUGA? I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE HIM EARLIER SINCE HE THREW ME INTO THE CLOSET WITH MY BACK TURNED!" Jin exclaimed, holding his stomach as Gao laughed at the two boys in the nightgowns.

"Oh… my… dear… LORD!" Rouga yelled, his wolf ears twitching irritably and his tail swishing no longer.

"I know its airy underneath, but that should be your casual clothes!" Jin suggested, his laugh dying a little.

The door to the cabin suddenly opened slowly again, Tetsuya popping in his head nervously.

"I-is this the right place, yo?" Tetsuya asked. "GAO! THERE YOU ARE! I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE!"

"Wait, before you enter... Leave the ax outside the cabin. I know you have a heavy ax on you right now," Gao said, pointing st the non visible hand.

Tetsuya let out a sheepish grin and chuckled, doing what Gao requested him to boy in a turquoise long sleeve turtleneck, white overalls, blue cap, and grey boots entered the cabin hurriedly right after and paused in his tracks, looking at Jin and Rouga with wide eyes.

"UHHUH… WOW YOU GUYS LOOK…. GREAT," Tetsuya said, looking away to make a 'pffft' sound.

"I KNOW YOU'RE LAUGHING BANANA HEAD!" Rouga exclaimed as Gao dropped the basket in his possession onto the floor next to him.

"N-no, I'm not, bro! Pfft…" Tetsuya said, beginning to hold his cramping stomach. "OKAY, OKAY, I AM, HAHA! YOU SHOULD TOTALLY ADD THAT TO YOUR WARDROBE, YO! HAHAHAHA, IT LOOKS GREAT!"

"SH-SHUT UP!" Rouga exclaimed, ripping the gown and cap off to reveal his tan ripped up clothes from before.

"Aww, what a shame.." Jin said. "I thought you looked better in it than I did."

"Shut your mouth purpl-"

Rouga was cut off when they all dropped into a black pit that suddenly appeared beneath them, the hole never being there before.

"AHHHHH! AGAIN?!" Gao exclaimed.

"WHOA!" Jin exclaimed.

"WHERE ARE WE GOING NOW, BROS!?" Tetsuya asked.

"DON'T ASK US, YOU USELESS HUNTER!" Rouga exclaimed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
