"I could try to go and get help..."
Zell muttered to himself while looking around and his gaze stopped at his alarm clock, which revealed it was late afternoon.
"...or I could help myself to some hot dogs from the cafeteria!"
He said louder and louder as if he had just gotten a grat idea, and luckily no one could hear him. He nodded to himself: his mind was set! It was all perfect: he would get a few hot dogs and could just go get help later after all.
He glanced at the alarm clock one more time: it was late, but the cafeteria was not far from the dorm and Zell was confident he could make it before it closed for the day. After that he went to his room's door and crawled under it to get out, since it was closed, and then started running towards the cafeteria. At his current size, the corridor seemed huge and far longer than normal, almost endless, but Zell kept running undeterred and unhindered: as it turned out, no one was around there at that time, probably everyone was training or studying.
After a much longer time than he anticipated, Zell finally reached the end of the dorm and the connecting pathway to the Garden's main ring that, unlike the dorm, was actually pretty crowded as usual. He stopped for a moment, in his over eagerness, only now he realized that he was completely naked and didn't bother to try and find something to cover himself with. For a moment he thought about going back and remedy this, but he shook his head.
< Wait! What am I worried about? > he thought to himself, shaking his head. < If I go back, I'll never make it in time. Besides, now I'm so small, no one will notice me! >
And so he kept running towards his destination, going into the main ring that connected all the Garden's facilities. His thoughts proved to be true: no one paid attention to him, and no one actually noticed him.
However, not all was well for Zell, as that meant that, while he was running to the cafeteria, he had to also jump and dodge to avoid being stepped on. Luckily for him, he was able to do just that thanks to his athletic physique and training. He finally went out the ring onto the connecting pathway leading to the cafeteria and, after a brief stop to catch his breath, he finally made his way to the cafeteria proper. There were fewer people down this hallway, so Zell could easily avoid them, and again, no one seemed to notice he was there.
Howerver, when he finally was in sight of the cafeteria door, he could see the staff accompanying the last few students out and he knew what that meant: it was closing time! He wasted no time, and started running at top speed towards the door, to reach it before they closed it, mustering all his strength to do so.
And what happens next?
