A/N:This is legit the weirdest thing I've written ever. But don't blame me, UTSs have all the power in the world to drive you crazy. Read at the expense of your own sanity.

Karan was walking across the hall, looking for Dilbaghji. He had to make a change in diet plan of the recruits.

While walking across the women's washroom, he heard some muffled sounds of yelling, two people, and he could recognize them. A little curious, he decided to check out. Walking in he was not too shocked to see Monami and Sid.

Sid was leaning over the commode, one of his hands on the flush, and the other over the commode, holding the potted plant, Gappu. Monami was yelling at him to give Gappu back, which he obviously did not seem in the mood to do.

Switching to trainer mode, he raised his voice a little.

"Kya chal raha hai yahan?" He said, clasping his hands back, fake glaring at them. Both of them immediately snapped in attention, Gappu in Sid's hand.

"Back to your rooms."

"Yes sir.." both of them replied, before walking out quarreling over whispers. He looked at their retreating figures, letting out a sigh of relief that they didn't notice that he was in the wrong restroom.

However, there was something much more important in his to do list. Something very, very crucial.
~~~

Karan stood in front of Monami and Sanjana's dorm, a little conflicted about whether he should enter the room or not.

But desperate situations called for desperate measures.

Sighing a little, we walked into the empty room.

Soon enough, he found his target, resting on a window sill. Walking up to it, he picked it up, and brought it to his face, looking into its eyes.

"Gappu."

"Maine dekha aaj subah kya ho raha tha. Vo Sid, flush karne waala tha tumhe." He said, keeping it back to its place.

"Kab tak aise hi jhelte rahoge uss kamine ko? Jab tak vo sachme flush naa karde? Tum jaante ho tum Monami ke liye kitne important ho?" He chided the plant.

"Vo sab chodo....point pe aate hai. Ab time aa chuka hai ki tum Sid se darna band karo, aur apne liye stand lena seekho." He sat down on his knees, coming to the same level as the pot, and looked earnestly at the plant.

"It's hard, mai jaanta hu, lekin mai tumhaare saath hu. I know you can---"

His speech was cut short by the loud sound of the door opening. Startled, he stood up, almost stumbling in the process.

At the door was Sanjana, staring at him like he had grown another head.

"Hum...hum bas paani ki bottle lena bhool gayo the...aap apna...apna vartalaap jaari rakhiye, hum n-nikalto hai..." saying that, she turned away, about to slip out of the room, and the expression on her face said it, she would call the asylum if need be.

"Sanju, dekh, mai--ruk!" Karan internally facepalmed. He was talking to plant. What was he doing. Thankfully though, she stopped.

"Dekh, mujhe ek kaam hai tujhse."

"Sirji hum...vo...drill! Drill pe jaano hai!" She said turning to face him. Karan raised an eyebrow.

"Sunday hai aaj." He said, folding his arms.

"Oh, achha...toh hum--"

"Do baatein, pehli, mai... mai paudhe se baat kar raha tha...ye baat kisi ke paas nahi jaani chahiye."

"Lagto hai Monami ke saath jyaada reh liye..." Sanjana whispered under her breath.

"Kuch kaha?"

"Naa Sirji."

"Theek hai. Doosri, mujhe teri madad chahiye."

"Kaisi madad?"

"Interesting kaam hai. Kisi ki patang kaatni hai." Karan smirked. Sanjana's eyes immediately lit up.

"Pehle kyu nahi batao Sirji! Aap bas boliye kya karna hai hume." She gave him an overly enthusiastic smile.

"Hmm. Chal, thoda saaman laana hai."

~~~~~

Sanjana stared tentatively at Karan, who was explaining the 'plan' to her.

"Sirji...thoda zyaada nahi ho jaayega?"

"Kyu? Tu jaanti hai yahan kiska sawal hai?"

"Haan...Monami ka paud--"

"Gappu. Paudha nahi."

"Haan..Monami ka Gappu. Lekin Sirji hai toh paudha hi...lekin aapko iss plan pe yakeen hai?"

"Koi shaq?"

"Nahi Sirji." She sighed, defeated.

"Theek hai fir, let's continue. Gappu, tum...hmm, mitti ke ho. Which means...not a good conductor, right?"

"Ji Sirji. Agar je gaml--Gappu...Gappu ko ek achha conductor banana hai toh 2 cheeze ho sakti hai, ek, hum uspe paani daalke rakhe, doosri, hum taambe ke taar ko lapet de. Lekin isse pehle hi pata chal jaayega, toh hum paani pe vote karenge."

"Hmm....so let's go for the second option. Lekin ek minute, agar rubber ke soles waala kuch pairo me hua toh?"

"Sirji vo mooje pehenke ghoomta hai. Kaam ban jaayega."

Karan gave her a questioning look, which dissolved as quickly as it appeared.

"Okay, toh kaam shuru kare?"

"Ji Sirji" Sanjana flexed her fingers a little, before diving into the box full of wires and sockets, simultaneously instructing Karan, who speedily finished the tasks given to him.

After nearly an hour of working and cleaning, the two stood in front of Gappu, seemingly harmless. Giving each other a victorious look, they walked out of the room, careful to not raise any suspicion.

"Thodi hi der me chidiya phasne waali hai." Karan smiled slightly, before checking his watch and hiding behind a pillar.

A very unsuspecting Sid, seemingly out of nowhere, ran into the room. Karan and Sanjana mentally high five each other, as a string of 'duck's' emerged out of the room, and Sid ran out, flailing his hand in the air.

"Monuuuuuu!"

Karan snorted lightly, before walking in to the room with Sanjana, and stared at the smiling face of Gappu, who sat there undisturbed.

Smiling, they walked out again, heading to the mess for a victory brunch.

"Mission Aatmanirbhar Gappu accomplished."

"Sirji mission ko naam dena toh humaara kaam hai na?"

"Aaj maine de diya. Mujhe vaise bhi chance kam milta hai."

"Hmm. Lekin Sirji, agar Monami Gappu ko paani dene aayi toh?" Sanjana asked, realisation striking her mind.

Karan's smile washed off.

"Yeh toh socha hi nahi..."

Suddenly, they turned to a loud, angry yell.

"KAAARAAAAN!"

Karan turned to Sanjana, who stared at him helplessly.

"Shit."
