Hotaru remained in the same spot Mike left her in, holding her arm and hand in the same position since the mat was all slobbery, thanks to Princess. She sudden;y sneezed, for it had gotten cold a little while ago, and she was now hoping Mike would hurry up a little in finding her something to wear. A minute later, she saw him coming down, but he didn't have any clothes with him..... only a phone.
"I see..." Mike whispered, while continuing to go towards Hotaru, "It's alright bro, we'll be fine... good-night," After that good-night, Mike hung the ceel phone up, and sighed deeply, while shaking his head sadly.
"Is everything alright Mike?" Hotaru asked in worry, but hoping she was wrong about there being something wrong. Her hopes were dwittled when he looked at her and shook his head no.
"No... that was my big brother... a huge snowstorm just started a few minutes ago while we were talking and thanks to that... all the roads have been closed off, meaning my brother can't get home tonnight..." Hotaru gasped a little, which made Mike open the curtain a little to show that the snowstorm WAS a huge one, and was coming down fast!
After Mike closed the curtain, Hotaru was about to ask why he hadn't brought any clothes down for her, but he continued again, "And what's worse... my bro did all of his laundry today..... and he used to much detergent..." to prove his point, he held up, what appeared to be a Ken sized doll's sweater, "So I'm sorry Hotaru.... but you're stuck here for the night.... with no clothes..." After he finished his sentence, Hotaru let out a small gasp, while going all red in the face. She was stuck at Mike's house for the night?.... All of the clothes that would've fit her had shrunk?.... SHE HAD TO SPEND THE NIGHT THERE NAKED?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!
"I-It's alright Mike..." Hotaru comforted him, trying to make it sound like she didn't mind, "It's not-," She stopped mid sentence, as she sneezed loud. It had gotten much colder now that the storm was picking up, but it was much worse for her since she was totally naked...
"C'mon..." Mike said in a calm voice, "We can't have you freeze to death..." he gently pulled her along, as he lead them somewhere. A few minutes later, they reached a black and blue colored door, and when he opened it, Hotaru gasped in shock, STILL keeping her hand and arm in place. She was looking at the biggest bathroom in the history of bathrooms!
"You can take a bath in the jacuzzi... it'll warm ya up...." Mike smiled as he lead her to the huge jacuzzi. She was amazed at the size of it.
"My aunt is super rich, and she always gives us soo much money..." Mike explained, while turning it it, "I'll leave ya alone now, so I can call your parents and tell them that you're here tonight... don't worry," he assured her, when he saw her worried face, "They already know me as a friend of yours from school right? So they'll know I'm okay..." Hotaru nodded, "okay, have a nice soak!" Mike called as he left the room, and closed the door behind him.
Hotaru sighed for a moment, before removing her arm and hand from what they were covering, and slipping into the hot water of the jacuzzi. Melting at the warmth, Hotaru forgot about everything else, and just relaxed in the hot water, her feet proped on the edge, where a little shelf was.
What next?
