A lemonade can drops from the vending machine. After it drops down, Lacey retrieves it from the vending machine. She then proceeds to open the can and take a huge sip from it. She makes a huge sigh after drinking the lemonade.
She had such a long tiring day. She was so overworked that she had to take a breather. There were tons of stuff to do today at the League Club. Everyone had their own things to do. Crispin had a lot of participants at his arena, Amarys had to contribute BP to the academy by doing the BBQ's, Lacey had to clean and make adjustments to thr League Club Room, and Drayton had to do tons of documents relating to the League Club participants.
Unfortunately Drayton was too unmotivated to do any of the documents and decide to start sleeping and making excuses about why he can't do them. When Lacey found out, it was already too late. After she finished her duties for the day, which took a really long time, she checked on Drayton and realized he hadn't done a single one. Lacey scolded him very harshly, but Drayton brushed it off and just left the room right in front of her.
Lacey felt taken aback by the audacity of Drayton and how he must left her like that. Since Drayton wasn't willing to do it, someone else had to, but Crispin and Amarys already did their duties for the day. Since Crispin didn't want to do any extra work and Amarys had to go somewhere very important, and since was Lacey was next in the ranks, Lacey had to do the documents for him. That task took even more time, and by the time she was finally done it was night out and she was extremely tired and exhausted from the extra work.
Lacey sat on a block structure and took a few more sips of her lemonade occasionally rubbing her eyes, fluttering her eyelids, and bobbing her head forwards. It seems all this work is getting to her, and she barely had any free time. Lacey contemplates in how hard it is to become a high ranked member of the League Club while thinking about sleeping on her Granbull's tummy.
Suddenly she sees someone in the distance approaching her. It appears to be a guy riding on a red Pokémon.
"Huh? Is that Florian?" Lacey says to herself.
As Florian is about to put his Pokémon on the healing center he spots Lacey sitting nearby.
"Huh? Lacey, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" Florian says.
"I could say the same about you..." Lacey says groggily.
"I'm just here to do some BBQ's late at night."
"Oh... I guess that makes sense..."
"Lacey? Is something wrong? You look tired. You should be in your dorm sleeping."
"Oh... I went outside to take a breather... I'm just completely overworked from all the stuff I had to do today..." Lacey rubs her eyes again.
"Like what?"
"I had to clean and renovate the League Club Room... I didn't realize how long it took... Then that dolt Drayton didn't do what he was assigned at all... So I had to do all that stuff for him... And when I finished, I felt so tired and overworked... I wanted to go outside just so I can take a breather... I'm... so exhausted..." Lacey vents while fluttering her eyelids and bobbing her head.
Florian sits next to Lacey and puts his arm around her back. Lacey blushes a bit but decides to let him keep his arm around her.
"Don't worry. I get that feeling. School can be hard. I already have schoolwork to do at Naranja Academy. But I just try to enjoy the best I can. Like right now I'm enjoying myself at Blueberry Academy and I'm just doing my BBQ's for leisure. I'm sure you would want some of that freedom as well." Florian comforts Lacey by patting her back.
Lacey tries to say something to Florian, but her voice is slurred from her tiredness. She struggles to keep her eyes open and eventually she falls asleep with her head on Florian's right shoulder.
Florian notices Lacey sleeping on his shoulder, but he decides to keep her on his shoulder.
"Wow. Lacey must've been so tired from today," Florian says.
Suddenly a random student sees Florian and Lacey together.
"Ooh! Lacey has a new boyfriend," the student says.
Florian notices the student speak.
"No, were just friends. I'm just comforting Lacey because of her tiredness," Florian refutes.
"Yeah sure. Wait until I tell this to everybody!" The student runs off.
Florian sighs as he looks back at Lacey still sound asleep.
"It's getting pretty late. I should be going to bed as well."
Florian picks up Lacey and sits on Koriadon with Lacey sitting behind him sleeping on him. He then rides Koraidon back at the entrance.
Florian takes Lacey to her dorm. Florian knew where her dorm was because of one of his previous meetups with her. Florian gently places her on her back, then proceeds to leave her dorm to go to his own dorm to rest.
The next day Lacey wakes up on her bed in her dorm.
"...Huh? Was I sleeping her yesterday...?" Lacey rubs her eyes again. Lacey sighs. "Is it morning already...? I barely slept at all..."
Lacey eventually leaves her dorm to go to the League Club Room. There only Drayton is there sitting at the table eating snacks.
"D-Drayton...!" Lacey says with a groggy start. "Y-You shouldn't be eating snacks on the job! I-It's just not right...!" Lacey makes an X with her hands although a bit wobbly.
"Don't worry, Lacey," Drayton says. "I felt kinda bad for you from yesterday. Your boyfriend scolded me about having you doing the dirty work for me since you told him about your problems, and I didn't realize how overworked you were. But don't worry! The Drayster decided to do your work along with mine, so you can have a day off for today, pal!"
Lacey feels pretty relieved from what Drayton said, but then she remembered a specific word Drayton said and her face suddenly turned red.
"B-B-Boyfriend!?" Lacey cries out. "A-Are you talking about Florian!?"
"Oh? Rumor spread out that you and Florian were in a relationship. Some kid said that you both were sitting together pretty intimately. Unless it's a big misunderstanding?" Drayton said.
"Um... you know what? Let's not talk about this... I suddenly feel tired already..."
"Aight then. I'll be off now. Go do whatever you want now," Drayton says as he leaves the room.
With Lacey now alone in the League Club Room, she decides to walk towards the couch in the room and fall face first onto the couch with her body across the entire couch, then takes one of the best naps she's ever had for a long time.
