You lay it back to where it was and take a second look of your surroundings. \n\n<<display "take">>

You do not want to leave. The comfy water felt good and you don't mind it's little coldness. Makoto is just overreacting. You just never wanted to gett out of the tub. And so you stayed in it though Makoto's protest against it.\n\nYou take one deep breath and pull your head down into the aquatic but just suddenly something clashes. In your brain. From afar you hear Makoto once again. Thinking back now... How long have you been inside of the water? Makoto has come by a lot but considering he couldn't pull you out of the waves he probalbly hasn't been around that much a day, has he?\n\nHe screams, could it be? The coldness floods your veins and your skin loses slowly the contact to that smooth water. You're lamed by the water, calmed, your eyelids are heavy, so heavy, you're paralyzed by the beauty of the water.\n\nYou take a deep breath and crawl back into the safe and sound water, pulling your head under it's stormy surface.

Slowly you lift your feet out of the bathtub. Lightly trembling as they touch the even ground you stand up. Confronting the door you calmly look around you to find some kind of weapon in order to defend yourself. \n\nHearing the steps approaching your confidence weirdly restricts fear and your bravery takes on and your hand smoothely grips...\n<<set $item = "none">>\n[[To the right]], [[To the left|On the left]] or [[Behind yourself]]

Your hand slowly reaches out to your leften side to search for any massive object that could inflict any damage to your soon to be opposed attacker enabling you to escape, out of the house that turned into a terrifying cage that instant, get help, being saved...\nAt least you would have to make it to the next phone to call the police or the neighbor, heck, even if it was an old childhood friend you haven't seen for years would be on the other end of the line you'd be happy having reached out for at least someone, who also can reach out for you to get out of that very situation, though maybe it would be too late and your face-off with the burglar would cause you heavy injuries and who knows if you had even any chance of making it out of at least this bath...\nBut there was no weapon to your left, so...\n\n<<display "take">>

Lamed and most likely frozen your eyes move to the rattling door. You can't think that clearly anymore, not as clear and pure as the water covering your skin and smoothly moving it's waves around you. Paralyzed you stare at the door which opens with a typical door creek...\n\n[[The door slowly swipes open|That is...]]

The shellow figure walks towards you. Still only glaring you start to actually realize is happening, but only slowly you regain actual consciousness as the freezy floods still wager around you.\nAs he has walken over and positioned himself right in front of you he gently holds out his hand for you.\n\n"Good morning, Haru" greets Makoto.\nHe smiles at you like a happy kitten.\n\n"Now shall we go?"\n\n[[Yes|Go with Makoto]] [[No|Stay in tub]]

You stay in the bathtub. \n\nTaking one deep breath, you pull your head down the fluid surface and feel the single molecules that make up the cooling feeling around you. You pause by the sensation, freezing a little, and pushing your head back up to the air.\n\nYou hear steps approaching the door.\n\n[[Prepare to fight a burglar|Burglar]] or [[Stay in the bathtub|You're still in the bathtub]]

You stay in the bathtub. \n\nTaking one deep breath, you pull your head down the fluid surface and feel the single molecules that make up the cooling feeling around you. You pause by the sensation, freezing a little, and pushing your head back up to the air.\n\nYou're completely soaked from the watery sensation your body was exposed to. Now...\n\n[[Prepare to fight a burglar|Burglar]] or [[Continue staying in the water|Approaching the burglar]]

Coated in a supressing coolness your skin is flashed by the wet elegance and the continuous flow that surrounds your body. It pierces through the tight fabric of your swim suit, refreshing your sound body and soul.\n\nIn the distant clings a wooden door open and steps being placed in the house. The water softens, smoothly engaging your skin, calming your mind and comforting your body. Time seems to have slowed down to collect your thoughts correctfully.\n\n[[Prepare to fight a burglar|Burglar]] or [[Stay in the bathtub|Stay]]

You lift up your body. Makoto just glances at your swimming trunks just as always but goes for once uncommented. As your feet finally stop trembling and he reaches you a towel, his eyes widen as if he's remembered something. He grins turning his head away from yours muttering. You just knew it that instant.\n\nIt has gotten warmer.\nThe pool would be in use.\nHE COULD SWIM.

Your legs start moving sooner than you relize to take you out of this jeopardy when suddenly you feel a grip around your wrist.\n\nFeeling the usual comfortable warmth you turn around just to see him standing there.\n\n[[You look closely at him|Isn't that?]]

Gliding to the right your hand touches smooth hardness. Your hand opens, feeling more of the slippery surface. Hardening your grip you pull the little sqare near. Giving of a nice scent you glare at your weapon. \n\nWhether that one piece of soap will be enough to fight off any burglar?<<set $item = "soap">>\n\n[[Retrieve the weapon]] or [[Position yourself to fight]]

You take the weapon...<<set $item = "none">>\n\n[[To the right]], [[On the left]] or [[Behind yourself]]

His expression is confused, maybe a little worried; in his eyes you can see the refletion of your amazed self. He is rubbing his backhead even though you haven't hurt him seriously, after all it is just <<if $item eq "duckie">>a simple rubber duckie which could do nothing but queek<<endif>><<if $item eq "soap">>a little piece of soap<<endif>>. He couldn't be possibly damaged from that little smack, could he?\n\n"Haru, why did you do that?" Makoto is halfly smiling, not too pleased about having been hit with a <<if $item eq "duckie">>rubber duckie<<endif>><<if $item eq "soap">>piece of soap<<endif>> but also happy you, his friend, is alright.\n\nHe reaches out his hand to you.\n"Now shall we go to school, Haru?"\n\n[[Yes|Go with Makoto]] <<if $stay gte 3>>[[No|Stay in tub]]<<endif>>

Sinking lightly back into your knees, your hand comes in contact with the frictionless water searching for any sign of solid mass. Gripping tightly your found you slowly pull back your hand to take a look at that rubber-ish form you have fished out of the pool of comfort.\n\nWill the rubber duckie be enough to fight of a burglar?\n<<set $item = "duckie">>\n[[Retrieve the weapon]] or [[Position yourself to fight]]

You slowly move towards the bathroom door. Hiding in the door's dead angle you hear someone's breath approaching...\n\nYou still have the chance to take another weapon...\n\n[[Retrieve the weapon]] or [[ATTACK!!]]

The rattling door opnes with a creek-sound. The door swipes open. You forget what is going on. What you're holding. Remember. It's no pan. It's a <<if $item eq "duckie">>rubber duckie<<else>>no<<endif>><<if $item eq "soap">>piece of soap<<else>>no<<endif>> that you're holding. Sill.\n\nYou smash it with all your might. Right onto the head.\n\n[[And look who it is|Isn't that?]] or [[Run away]]
