A/N: Not a request, but here is the prelude to the third main event of the story. When I say main event, I mean any chapters that directly influence other chapters in a some way. The first two events were Makoto's introduction and Makoto's date, because they spanned more than one chapter. If there is chapter title that doesn't include two names, it's probably part of an event.
The 78th class had Junko Enoshima. She was a closet despair fetishist, but to her class, she was completely normal. In order to keep up that image, she made herself do regular things that weren't in the name of despair. Of course, she would find ways to make many things in her life a gateway to despair through careful planning and execution. Her newest plan involved making her classmates get closer together, just so they could despair even further in two years time. This plan included personally inviting all of the girls (and Chihiro- she personally thought it was obvious) to a slumber party. Laugh if you want, but a lot of girls weren't really making friends with other girls. Aside from Hina and Sakura, the girls either had guy friends, or no close friends. She had to change that.
Even if it meant talking to Toko Fukawa.
She personally didn't like the freak, but Toko needed to make some friends, or she wouldn't despair as much as Junko wanted. So, in the cafeteria one day, Junko saw her opportunity.
"Hiiiiii, Toko!" Bright and bubbly would be her approach. It was fun to be happy in front of grumpy people, mainly becuase it pissed them off.
"W-what do you want?"
"I just wanted to invite you to the ultimate girls' slumber party, hosted in this school's very own gym!"
"W-why would I want to go to a l-lame party in the school's sweaty gym?"
"Welllll, all the other girls I asked are going, and the one I haven't asked yet is definitely going. It honestly be weirder if you didn't go." Appeal to her fear of being singled-out, then she'll consider.
Toko pauses for a second. "What are you guys even going to do anyways? More importantly, is the school even allowing this?"
Junko holds up a piece of paper. "Headmaster's signature. The girls of our class get the gym from 8 to 8 and we're allowed to lock the doors so no one can get in. We're also allowed to bring in outside food an drink, as long as we don't make a mess. As for your first question, watch a couple movies on the big screen, gossip, do each other's hair, talk about guys, and maybe sleep."
"W-why do you want me there?"
"'Cuz you're a girl, Duh! I invited everyone." This reaction was expected, but she wished that Toko would just agree already. "Oh, but the headmaster doesn't want us walking around in our pajamas, so we gotta change in the gym."
"No! I'm not going! I don't want any of you to see me change!"
"Jeez, calm down! Just change in the bathroom in the gym. That's how I got Chihiro to come. No need to freak out." Toko obviously had something to hide about her body. Even Mr. Crossdresser didn't care that much. Judging from her usual outfits, there's probably something up with her legs. Scars, rashes, birthmarks, it wouldn't matter to most people, but to Junko, it could be blackmail gold.
She hesitated for a moment. "W-well maybe. You said every other girl is going?"
"Absolutely. Some argreed without really caring, but I know that Hina and Sayaka are super pumped."
She rolls her eyes. "Great. If by chance I did go, do I bring anything?"
"Do you have a sleeping bag?"
"Y-yeah."
"Bring that. I already sent Hina and Sakura to go buy some junk food and to rent a few movies, and Sayaka's bringing some of her beauty products. Other than that, I got it covered." She didn't want to risk Toko dropping out because she had to put in effort. All she had to do was show up.
"I'll think about showing up. B-but this better not be some kinda prank!"
"Glad to hear it! Come around 7:30. A couple members of the staff will show up to make sure we're not like, holding an alcohol party."
"I said maybe! You're not going to put me on the spot or anything, right?"
"Eh, nothing more than if you're stupid enough to play Truth or Dare. They'll be plenty of inner-girl mingling, so no one will notice you for too long." Junko had a hard time believing that someone at Hope's Peak wanted to fly under the radar so bad. Come on, seriously? You are attending the best school in the country, but if anyone pays attention to you, you get pissed? She didn't understand it, but at least it gave hera little more depth, even if it was lame. Before Toko could respond, Junko decided she was done.
"See you tomorrow night, Toko!"
"Still a maybe!"
A/N: I honestly didn't even want to write Junko at all, but the only other candidate for this was Sayaka, who has been receiving enough attention. I tried to include a lot of Junko's observations and planning because she is the Ultimate Analysist, too. Eh, I hope Toko didn't give in too early, but without the threat of murder, and weeks to adjust, I feel like she wouldn't start rambling about her "disgusting" self every conversation.
