Maria, Ingrid, and Samantha are drawn by their OC creators :) I also drew Rosalina, Daisy, and Peach because I have no life

"I'm unlocking the second floor!" Monokuma's voice screeched, making everyone wince at the sound. They had all met in the gymnasium. "Oh, and by the way! If you manage to get away with murder, when you get out, you'll get famous! Think about that! The second floor's got the library, the swimming pool, and more classrooms! Locker rooms for respective genders, of course."

"Wow, I would love to go swimming when we could possibly end up dead," Pauline said sarcastically. "That sounds smart, to be completely ignorant of what's coming up."

"At least we wouldn't be waiting with so much tension," Krystal replied, ever the optimist. "We might as well enjoy ourselves while we can!"

"People are dying," Birdo retorted, siding with Pauline for once. "How are we supposed to enjoy ourselves?"

"Death can be worth celebrating," Kaira replied. "Don't you think so?"

"Can we please stop arguing!" Sarah bit her nails nervously, not liking that everyone was fighting. "I don't want to die because you all are fighting!"

"She's right," Saiko sighed, agreeing with someone other than Kaira for once. "All this is exhausting. Saiko thinks we should all just head down to the pool and chill."

"I'd like that," Samantha agreed, smiling shyly. "That could be fun."

"It's not about fun," Boo grumbled. "It's about surviving. Although if I stay with the group, I suppose I'll have a better chance of survival. Let's go."

"I think I'm gonna stay in my room," Waluigi muttered. "I need some time.. alone."

They understood what he meant by that- after all, Waluigi had been the closest with Wario out of all of them. Even though some of them didn't really want to swim, the fact that sticking together was a greater chance of survival sealed the deal for them. They all gathered in the pool after changing, going through the locker rooms.

"Wow! Look, there's a volleyball net!" Samantha pointed out excitedly.

"Oh, that'll be fun!" Krystal smiled. "Let's play!"

"Pass," Rubi sniffed, as she looked down st her short body. Without her badminton racket, she felt lost and she didn't know what to do. "Volleyball is stupid."

"I doubt you could even reach the bottom of the pool anyway," Pauline laughed. "Oh well."

"How dare you!" Rubi closed her eyes, squeezing the stress ball in her hand. "No one likes you, so shut up!"

"Don't be so mean," Maria stood up for the blonde girl. "Just because she's pretty short doesn't mean anything!"

"Oh, come on," Daisy sighed, exasperated. "I just want to go swim without all of this drama."

"Fine, fine."

"Bet I could crush all of you in volleyball!" Daisy grinned.

Daisy went off with everyone besides Rubi, Krystal, Rosalina, Peach, Mario, and Luigi to play volleyball. Pauline and Birdo sat on the beach chairs by the side, keeping track of scoring for their game. Everyone was... relaxed, despite Mona's and Wario's death. If what the characters are known for didn't make you realize how horrible some of them really are, then the fact that none of them besides Waluigi were shaken by the deaths, that should seal the deal.

Or, maybe not.

Maybe there was more to them after all?

After their game, everyone just decided to chill and swim in the pool.

"Okay, so today wasn't horrible," Pauline sighed, adjusting her sunglasses that she'd never need. "It was actually quite.. fun."

"It was!" Sarah agreed, her hazel eyes twinkling with excitement. "It was great!"

"It wasn't horrible, I'll give you that," Birdo told them. "But It could've been better if it was a beach."

"Well, we don't have a beach," Krystal looked at the floor. "But it's the best it's going to get here."

"...guys," Rubi was sitting on a beach chair, clutching her badminton racket while still dressed in a bathing suit. "I...I'm sorry for being so miserable. I just...my whole life I've been teased, and I took it out on other people... I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it," Soleil smiled. "Stuff happens! All is forgiven- ahh!"

The pink haired girl fell face forward as she slipped on water by the pool.

"Soleil! You okay?" Krystal asked worriedly.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," Soleil rubbed her face in pain. "Don't worry about me!"

"Geez, we really should pay more attention," Rubi mumbled. "We'll all be injured at this rate."

"Or dead," Ingrid replied. "We should all be cautious."

"You're right," Maria sighed as she stared at Rosalina. "This was just so much fun... it was like a break from the real world."

"Yeah, it was pretty nice... but now we've gotta go back to... that," Pauline shook her head. "Who would send us into this hell?"

Hey everyone! Hope you're enjoying. They had a nice break, but it's back to murdering time next time!

Question of the chapter: who's gonna die next?
