The sound of balls bouncing off the floor mingled with the grunts and cries of the volleyball players. Fukurodani High School was hosting an all-day volleyball training with Nekoma, Date Tech, and Karasuno.

The players had been at it for hours already, practicing their techniques with each other before the matches began. Coaches, managers and players alike were treating this opportunity like the treasure it was. It was a very serious matter.

Unfortunately for them, (Name) had a better idea.

'Here we are, on our way to observe nature's finest species, the male 'Highschoolus Volleplayus'.' (Name) whispered into her camcorder.

When Coach Ukai had announced that the team would be accepting Fukurodani's invitation, (Name) had recognized it as the perfect time to test out her new observational skills. After all, what was a scout who couldn't tell if a player was good or not? And since this technically was for the team, so it's not like she could get in too much trouble. Right?

(Name) had separated herself from the rest of the team when they had arrived at the gym. Sneaking away under the guise of 'Gotta pee, see ya' was an elementary tactic, but Suga had been too busy separating Kageyama and Hinata to call (Name's) ruse.

It wasn't often Suga was distracted enough for (Name) to get away with the basics. It seems Kageyama and Hinata could be used for future… experiments. Excellent. (Name) would have to update her list of Suga's weaknesses.

Er, anyway.

Sitting in the bushes wasn't (Name's) ideal hiding place, but climbing up the flag pole and perching on top wasn't exactly inconspicuous. So she waited.

'It's time.' (Name) whispered reverently into the camcorder's speaker. She fought her way out of the bushes and stayed to the shadows. Like a ninja. With bells strapped on her feet. Whatever. No one was around anyway.

Slipping into the gym unnoticed, (Name) made her way behind one of the bleachers. The coaches were calling the players to attention. The matches were about to start.

'Here we see the grown 'Volleplayus' directing the 'Highschoolus Volleplayus' to separate into teams. Unlike other species, when 'Highschoolus Volleplayus' mature, their scientific name changes. The correct term for the mature 'Highschoolus Volleplayus' is 'Oldicus Volleplayus'.'

(Name) twisted her camcorder around to show the nearest court. Nekoma and Date Tech had been paired together for the first match.

'Looking closer, the 'Highschoolus Volleplayus' actually look a bit different, which is, more often than not, the factor that groups them into teams. This team,' (Name) swiveled her camcorder towards Nekoma's side of the court, 'is what we can call 'Felinicus Volleplayus'. They almost remind one of actual felines. Amazing.'

(Name) panned the camcorder along the sidelines towards Dateko. 'The "Felinicus Volleplayus" follow the orders of the "High Felinicus Volleyplayus'" and his second in command,' she noted as her lens passed Nekoma's coaches. 'And these are the…bears? Sure. 'Ironium Bearicus Volleplayus.' That works. They are taaaall.' (Name's) camera tilted up as she tried to show the height of Dateko's players.

FWEEEET

The referee's whistle blew and Dateko managed to take control of the ball.

'Watch carefully,' (Name) instructed to her invisible audience. 'The "Ironium Bearicus Volleplayus" do have the height advantage, but the "Felinicus Volleplayus" are well known for their flexibility.

The match was fierce. (Name) did try to narrate for a while, but then found some ants attempting to lug an abnormally large M&M into a tiny hole in the wall. Fascinating stuff. (Name) was poking at the mini swarm when a loud clanging noise startled her.

A volleyball rolled toward her. Apparently one of Dateko's blocks bounced off one of the Nekoma player's hands and soared into the bleachers.

Sensing that her time was near, (Name) shifted her weight, preparing to bolt. A shadow fell over her.

'Ehh? (Name)-san? What are you doing back here?' Lev blinked at her in surprise.

'RAAAAHHHH!' With a battle cry, (Name) leapt past him. Or tried to. After squatting in the same position for so long, (Name) found her legs to be asleep.

With a graceful 'umph', (Name) flopped on her belly. Clutching her camcorder, she shoved it in Lev's face.

'The "Silvicus Felinicus" is tall. A cinnamon bun. Too good, too pure for this world.' (Name) groaned. After all, the documentary must go on. That was the saying. Probably.

'Hey, Daichi, found her!' Kuroo had come up behind Lev and called over to Daichi; the latter began to storm over to the bleachers. (Name) squinted accusingly at Kuroo.

'Charred cinnamon roll. Too stale, too burned for this world.' (Name) managed to get out before Daichi reached her and started berating her.

Tuning out Daichi's rant, (Name) continued to silently film.

'—and you are grounded. Forever. Do you hear me?' Daichi paused to observe (Name). 'Forever. Even after you die. Forever.' Daichi repeated the word, trying to get his meaning across.

(Name) raised her head to meet Daichi's eyes. 'Until I die?'

Daichi gave a firm nod.

(Name) blinked. 'Then I guess I really will be grounded.

The last few moments of (Name's) documentary were filled with her screams as Daichi began chasing her around the gym.

Karasuno High School Referral Form

Student: (Reader's Name)

Class: 2-3

Reason for Referral: Harassment, maybe? I don't think there's actually a category for this…

Description of Actions and Statement of Apology: I will not bring a camcorder to any school's volleyball training day and sneak off. I will not hide behind the bleachers and film the practice with said camcorder. I will not pretend I am Dora the Explorer, or whatever, and my teammates and the other volleyball players are wild animals. I will not try to escape when I get caught, nor will I describe Kuroo Tetsuruo and Haiba Lev as 'cinnamon rolls'. Blackened or pure. I will not break my promise to 'never make another pun on another school's grounds'. I did, but I will not do it again, or I will get in SO much trouble. I will not scream bloody murder when my camcorder and phone are confiscated from me.

I regret nothing, but must say I do in order to get off without getting a mark in my permanent record.

But seriously, I regret nothing. Dora the Explorer never let things like 'laws' and 'school' get in her way. And look at her. She was a princess at one point. Were there pegasi in that movie? Whatever.

Your laws will not confine me and my curiosity of the world of 'Highschoolus Volleplayus'.

I will return.

Takeda-sensei, please cue my 'Dramatic Exit Soundtrack' on my phone.

Takeda-sensei is refusing.

I should have seen that coming.

Okay. No. Gotcha.

I'm gonna just...stop... now.
