Three days, that was the time frame Tweek needed for his coffee tasting to run as a success. In those three days, not much had happened it was all in all peaceful, if you didn't know any better you'd think of it as just another school trip.

I personally spent some time with Token, Stan, and Tweek, each of them wanted me to help them with something. Token was first, he came to me the morning after we found the UA information, he asked me to help him ask Nichole out. It turns out he has had feelings for her since we got here although how someone could think about romance in a situation like this is beyond me. The plan we came up with was simple Token found out what Nichole's favorite book was via Heidi, read it, and then used it as a way to talk to her. I don't know how he finished it in a day but I guess love makes you go above and beyond what you would normally do for another person. Anyway, it seemed to work out well enough apparently Tweek's coffee tasting was going to be their first date, Token was grateful for my help although he did most of the planning I just gave my opinion on the matter.

The next day Stan approached me after lunch, he asked me for help on a personal matter as well. I agreed to meet him in the library later that day, it turns out that Kyle's birthday was coming up and Stan wanted to do something nice for him. When I questioned his reasons for this he became red in the face and flushed, I thought he was dying but in actuality, he was just as love-struck as Token was. I guess people assumed I was the love doctor or something but in actuality, I was far from it. Regardless we searched the library for a book on this sort of thing and ended up finding one on poetry. Stan decided to write a poem for Kyle and asked me to leave him alone so he could write in peace. I came back hours later to still find him working hard at it, I left him to his work, and he ended up working all night long. When he came to breakfast the next morning, he looked like a zombie, in order to keep his plan a secret he didn't tell anyone. I'd assumed he finished it but I could've been wrong. After breakfast Stan headed back for the library, guess he wasn't done, after all.

Tweek approached me as I left the cafeteria to head over to the garden, he asked me to help with the final preparations for the tasting, from what he said Craig had been helping him non-stop and Tweek wanted to give him a break. We went to his lab and I helped him by bringing him the ingredients he needed, afterward, he made me a cup as a thank you and then started talking about Craig.

"Ya know, Craig's the greatest, he put up with all my outbursts and craziness, even back home in South Park, I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend," he said. "What about you Mike have you ever had a boyfriend?"

"If I did I don't remember it, not all of us were lucky enough to get the memories of the love of our life" I answered.

"I'm worried, Mike," he said. "This is a killing game and we've already seen blood spilled, I'm worried that someone will kill me or worse kill Craig." "What if someone kills me and Craig retaliates and ends up being executed or worse, what if someone tries to kill Craig and he ends up killing them in self-defense, then I'd watch him be executed."

Tweek was beginning to have a panic attack so I got off my chair and ran behind the counter, "deep breaths Tweek, deep breaths, in, out, in, out." Craig walked into Tweek's lab a moment later, "Craig" I shouted. "Tweek's having a panic attack."

Craig rushed over, "don't worry Mike I'll take care of it, just go grab him a bottle of water from the cafeteria." I ran as fast as I could to the cafeteria and back to his lab, Craig is some kind of miracle worker when it comes to this because by the time I got back Tweek was calm and sitting at one of the tables. I gave him his water, Craig had his hand on Tweek's shoulder,

"I'm gonna take off" I said to them.

"Here I'll walk you out," Craig said. The two of us walked into the hall, "thanks Mike sorry you had to see that."

"Oh, it's no trouble" I replied.

"Truth is, Butters, isn't the only one with bad parents that he doesn't want to talk about." That's right with all the heightened emotions of Kenny's execution I completely forgot that Butters said that. "Tweek's parents were abusive as well, but instead of using physical force, they drugged him, put meth into his coffee every day and it caused him to be the way he is now, but through all of that I still love him, he helped me come to terms with who I am and for that I'll always be grateful, I swear that I'll do anything to keep him safe."

Craig's speech moved me to the point where I almost teared up, Tweek was lucky to have him in his life. That night Tweek sent a mass message to everyone on his notebook. It read, "I'm ready for the coffee tasting, tomorrow at 8pm in my lab." The messages from the others came pouring in everyone said they'd be there all except Eric living up to his policy on only surviving. With that I went to sleep, little did I know that the door to despair was about to open once more.

The next day everyone had breakfast and lunch together and then went their separate ways until at least, it was time for the coffee tasting. As the hour drew near I met up with Butters and the two of us walked to Tweek's together. When we got there Craig, Clyde, Token, Kyle, and Wendy were there. A few minutes after the scheduled meet time Stan, Henrietta, and Jimmy arrived.

"Sorry I'm late I was finishing up something," Stan said.

"It's all good," Craig said. "Not everyone is here yet anyway. 8:30 rolled around, and Heidi appeared. By this point, Tweek came out of his lab and was standing with the rest of us.

"I'm so sorry everyone I was in my lab working on some soil samples and before I knew it was already quarter after, I ran back to my room and got changed real fast then darted over here," she said gasping for breath.

"It's ok Heidi," Tweek said, "as long as you're ok." Heidi may have been ok but our count was only up to twelve, even including Eric who had no interest in this, we were only up to thirteen.

"Hey, where's Nichole" Clyde asked.

"I went to her lab about an hour ago to remind her," Wendy said. "She said she had to finish looking at something and then she'd come right over." I looked at Token whose face began to turn pale, I knew exactly what he was thinking,

"Token don't even go there alright" I said to him. "She probably just lost track of time too, let's go look for her." We split up into teams of three and started looking. Token, Butters, and I checked her lab and the nurse's office to no avail. We then looked around the garden it looked like someone had been digging around but since Heidi had been working on samples that's to be expected.

Butters was walking around not looking where he was going and ended up tripping on a brick used to keep the soil contained, it had been moved out of place for some reason. Butters landed in the soil when he did he heard an odd noise below, he started moving dirt around and that's when he saw it. His scream pierced the whole garden, Token and I came running over to him only to find the cause of his wail. Wrapped in a plastic tarp buried beneath the soil was the Ultimate Author, Nichole Daniels dead. Suddenly the PA speaker turned on and we heard Monokuma's voice.
