Time: 7:00 A.M. Location: Giovanna's Room

I awoke to Monokuma's morning announcement, "Good morning bastards! It's seven in the morning! Time to wake up! Let's all do our best together!"

The fifth time I had heard this announcement, I sighed. That dream still seemed so real, I thought. After I had finished my morning routine I headed towards the student lounge as per usual.

Time: 9:00 A.M. Location: Student Lounge

As I entered the room I noticed everyone sigh in relief, I looked around to see why noting that I was the last person here and likely late. Smiling of course Kuro was the first to speak.

"Well now that everyone is here, I guess we can start the meeting?" He asked.

Daisuke responded sarcastically. "So then what your plan today 'leader'." He drew out the word leader obviously to mock Kuro, Satoru looked like he was about to go and punch Daisuke his fist tightening. Kuro placed a hand on Satoru's shoulder calming the boy down before he made a mistake he would regret.

Kuro then continued speaking. "I say we make today a recreational day I mean we opened that floor up right? We may as well attempt to enjoy it. So I say we get some food for lunch or something and go up to the pool." He smiled.

"The pool, huh? Sounds like a blast!" Haruna exclaimed almost jumping out of her seat.

"Well then how bout we meet up around noon then everyone?" Kuro asked and most of us nodded, it isn't like a lot of us have anything better to do anyways.

That concluded our meeting and most of us parted ways.

FREE TIME

Time: 10:00 A.M. Location: Library

I walked into the library and began to scan the shelves looking for books on psychology, they might help in this situation I reasoned with myself. Eventually I noticed Haku sitting at on of the tables. Quietly I joined him.

He looked up and I smiled at him, a look of uneasiness crossed his face. "How are you today Haku?" I asked of him.

"I-I'm fine." He stated gripping the hardcover of the book tightly. It was obvious the boy did not want to talk. I pressed on anyways though.

"So how did you get into this whole historian thing?"

"W-well I grew up a-around books it was kind of hard not to enjoy it after awhile." He told me looking uncomfortable.

"Well, you grew up around books?"

"U-um,ya I was home schooled and my parents didn't like me going outside often, so I read a lot of history books and ended up getting really into it." He said a smile smile tugging up the corners of his lips.

"I see well I'll leave you to your reading talk to you later okay Haku?" He shrugged in response then went back to reading, I exited the library with the books I had taken.

Time: 12:30 PM Location: Pool Changing Rooms

I walked towards the changing room doors stopping only to scan my electro ID. Once inside I noticed that this place was quite plain, only a few pieces of exercise equipment littered the room, there were also showers and changing stalls on the wall. Otherwise though it was fairly plain.

Quickly I changed into one of the provided school swimsuits and exited the changing rooms, I was greeted by the sight of people in the pool. Like normal Kuro greeted me, his smile widened seeing me join.

"Hey Gio! Come'on, join us!" Haruna shouted to me and I looked towards her. She was holding a large beach ball above her head, then without warning she threw it to me, in haste I attempted to catch the ball almost fumbling it in the process. With I sigh I jumped in throwing the ball towards Jam. She used her palm and the ball flew towards Rein, whose gaze quickly caught the moving object and hurled it at full force towards Haku. The nervous boy just barely dodges underwater and I watch the ball soar towards the changing room doors, just as Natasha and someone else walked out.

Natasha being the observer she is moved aside and the ball hit the girl behind her square in the stomach. The girl in question fell back at the force of the impact the confused she kicked the ball back into the pool, while brushing her almost black hair out of her face, she stood and Rein asked her, "You okay Hitomi?" Hitomi in return shot an glare and responded with.

"Well I have to be now don't I?" She huffs sliding into the pool while Natasha quietly sat at the edge of the pool just watching us.

I slowly swam over looking questioningly at her, "Everything okay?" I asked, her gaze turned to me and I watch as her cold eyes seem to almost regain focus. So she was observing us, that thought popped up.

"I was just thinking that it is starting to become peaceful again, nd I just couldn't help but think how long can it last?" She looked downcast a deep sigh releasing from her lungs.

"Your probably right." I told her and then remembered, "That bear also hasn't appeared for awhile."

Natasha's face went pale for a second and then she shakily responded. "Your right, I almost didn't notice. I wonder why it hasn't shown up." I nod in response and as if to answer our question the monitor on the poolside suddenly lit up.

"Hey there you bastards!" The bear began. "State of emergency I want everyone to proceed down to the gymnasium, I repeat emergency!" With that the monitor switched off and the happy atmosphere quickly disappeared.

"N-not again." Tsubaki whimpered.

Kuro sighed getting out of the pool and gesturing for the rest of us to follow.

Time: 2:00 P.M Place:Gymnasium

Everyone gathered just outside of the gymnasium waiting for someone to open the doors. No one moved forward and we all just watched the door in silence. It was Rein who finally opened the door leading us in the room. As we all filled the room we heard the doors slam behind us. Looking toward the podium our group saw Monokuma pop up from behind the desk.

"What do you want this time you stupid ass bear!" Satoru shouted.

"Upupupu, I have something for you all!" Monokuma laughed out at us.

"And what would that be." Vincent asked his fists clenched.

"A new incentive of course! But first I wonder what did Matsuo want to say huh?" Monokuma pondered after proclaiming his intent.

"What does that matter now?" Vivian asked weakly. her glare pierced the bear.

"Owowowowow Vivi, what is the mean look for?" The bear asked looking a little sad then, "Is it cause your little boy toy is gone Vivi? Upupuppupupu!" He laughed.

"That's your fault you stupid bear!" She yelled in a rage almost going to kick the bear, luckily Shinosuke held her back.

"Is it? He was the one who killed though and I said it already anyone who murders and fails at keeping it secret will be punished!" He told her.

"It your fault though, you killed him! And Shia as well!" Shinosuke yelled to Monokuma.

"How mean... all of you are so mean... but we have business to get to." Monokuma cleared its 'throat'. "This time the incentive will be all about Sloth!"

"S-sloth like the animal?" Nalan questioned confused.

"No you idiot! Upupupu, anyways this time if the murderer succeeds they will have their greatest dream granted!" The bear exclaimed in excitement.

"A dream granted!?" Haruna exclaimed looking surprised.

"Yup your wildest dream! Your biggest dream! Anything!" Monokuma's grin grew.

"This is so stupid! Everything you sa is horseshit!" Vincent yelled taking a step forward escaping Rein's grasp.

"Oh is that so little Vinny? You know your words just make me wonder just how long it will take before you break?" The bear laughed.

In a rage the Super High School Level Martial Artist ran forward trying to punch the bear the punch connected and in an instant it was like everything froze. We heard Monokuma say something along the lines of 'violence against the headmaster is forbidden'. Then the room lit up and the smell of something burning filled my nose. On the podium another Monokuma appeared, and began laughing at Vincent's actions.

Quickly Shin let go of Vivian rushing over to the burning body, taking off his jacket he put out the flame smothering them with the jacket revealing a severely hurt, but alive, Vincent who was breathing harshly. "Dammit!" Shin shouted and quickly he ran out of the room. Nalan and Rein droped to their friends side trying to calm him down.

"Well that's what you get! For defying the school rules that is!" Monokuma kept laughing at our misery and worry.

"No one deserves that, you fucker!" Hitomi shouted from the back of the room. Slowly the rest of us joined in that chorus.

"Oooooooh and now Mi-Chan is all mad at me upupupupu, Oh right you probably don't want to be called that huh Mi-chan after all that almost got you framed last time! Upupupupupu!" Monokuma's laughter intensified. Hitomi bit her lip in anger almost making it bleed quietly she joined Rein and Nalan in trying to calm down the now screaming in pain Vincent.

I looked around the room and took in all the faces and emotions, hate, anger, pain, sadness, and most of all despair, it was on everyone's face except for one persons. This was of course our charismatic leader. Kuro looked directly at Monokuma and stated simply, "We are NOT afraid of you." He sounded resolute, his strength seemed not to waver even a bit.

"As students of Kibougamine academy we can overcome you." He told the bear and for a second the bear looked almost shocked.

"Whats this! Out of everyone I thought you would be in the most despair!" Monokuma exclaimed and then with a pout slouched at the podium, "Your no fun." The bear told Kuro and then without another word disappeared seemingly under the floorboards.

After he was gone we heard the doors open again as Shin came back with a stretcher. He looked at Rein and then opened the stretcher up carefully he and Rein lifted Vincent onto the stretcher and carried him to the infirmary in silence. No one spoke for awhile and eventually we all just went to our separate corners of the tower.

Time:6:00 P.M. Location: Giovanna's Dorm

I emerged from my shower, after that encounter earlier a stress relieving shower was exactly what I needed. The words of the bear re-entered my mind, Dreams huh, I mused thinking about a dream that I would want but nothing came to mind. I sigh of frustration escaped as I dried off slowly putting on my usual outfit. That being said I wonder, what Monokuma was going on about. Another sigh.

"It can't be helped." I told myself.

"Ooooooooooooooh what can't be helped." The voice shocked me causing me to jump where I stood,Turning I saw Monokuma grinning like an idiot.

"It is of no concern to you." I told the bear.

"Is that so Miss Vanna or Gio, maybe Vannagio!" I sighed at the bear butchering my name ignoring the obvious pleas for attention.

"Why don't you just disappear?" I asked the bear and as if on cue he promptly just vanished.

Rolling my eyes I left my room and ventured upstairs toward the infirmary. A flurry off activity could be heard from within, Nalan stood outside pacing back and forth.

"Everything alright Nalan?" I questioned the boy. His eyes shot up and he looked around quietly he responded.

"I-I suppose." His eyes went downcast again.

"How is Vincent's condition?" I inquired.

"W-well Shin said that Vince is stable but they need to get him treated well enough so that they can move him back to his dorm room before he falls asleep." I nodded recalling the rule about falling asleep outside the dorm rooms. "H-he isn't to bad, and Shin did a good job patching him up, so he should be okay in a few days. He will probably have to spend a lot of time at the infirmary though."

"I see, and how are you Nalan?" He looked at me oddly then began to respond.

"I'm good I guess, worried about Vince really."

"So then, I hope you don't mind me asking but how did you Rein, Hitomi, and Vincent get to be friends?" I looked him in the eyes so he couldn't lie to me.

"Well at the card night the four of us started talking and eventually we all just clicked." He smiled his voice less shaky and becoming mostly only soft-spoken.

"Well that's good, so who taught you piano?" I pressed barely even noting his last statement.

"Well my grandfather taught me actually and from the re I just took to it naturally, hell by the time I was five I started playing for entire theaters, packed with people!" He exclaimed happily.

"It really is rare to see you get this passionate about something." I chuckled and flashed a smile that was returned.

"that being said, umm do you think anyone would actually go after that incentive Gio?" He asked, but I could tell, he didn't want the truth so I told him.

"No i'm sure no one will." With that we parted ways.
