Hey and welcome back to day 3 of Three Days With Smiggle! Honestly, in case you're wondering why do I want to write a shitty recount of my volunteering from 2/12 to 4/12... Well, I just want to occasionally look back on those three days and say 'Boy, those were the three worst days I had with kids'. And what better way to end the year by purging all these stuff outta my brain right? Okay, I don't own anything!

"Due to some... comments of your usage of inappropriate words, I would like to ask if it's alright to put you with logistics?" Chris asked Nico, though his request was clearly not a request and Nico knew it well.

"Oh sure, I don't mind!" Nico said cheerfully, too cheerfully in fact. This was because Nico was really mad, so mad until she could envision stabbing Chris and the person who made the comments (most likely Christmas).

"Great! Just let me remove you from the facilitator list... Done!" Chris said, smiling at Nico's equally cheerful expression.

"Will that be all?" Nico asked politely, still masking her hidden anger.

"Yup! Please proceed up to wait for your duties!" Nico went into the lift lobby and went all the way up to wait for her duties.

"Hey Nico, glad to see you. How was Smiggle?" Umi asked, going over to Nico.

"Nice to see you too Pyon Pyon. Unfortunately, I was on logistics duty yesterday so I was spared from them." Nico sarcastically replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well you're in for a treat today then. You'll be up close with a pack of Smiggles!" Umi joked. The two of them laughed for a while before Nico gave her reply.

"Yeah well, I was kinda demoted just now. Something 'bout my language. So you'll be on your own Pyon Pyon..."

"What the heck?! Is this revenge for ditching you yesterday?!"

"Oh no no no. It's for giving Maria a difficult question. But really, Chris just demoted me before I was sent up here."

"Could everyone present take a seat first? I would like to brief the facilitators for what is going to happen later?" Akira said through the microphone, gathering the volunteers and librarians present to take a seat.

"Gah, they spelled my name wrong..." Umi muttered, pointing to her name. Nico took a look at it and nearly burst out in laughter.

"I didn't know your name was 'Uke Sonoda'! At least I know how to pronounce your name now!" Umi chopped Nico's head before facepalming herself.

"It's 'Umi'! Oh my god..."

"If even the adults can't remember your name, you expect me to?"

"Nope. Which is why I've resigned myself to Pyon Pyon." Once Umi was done uttering that sentence, Akira was about to start.

"Okay, now..." Akira started, soon starting a ten minute period where Umi and Nico were about to doze off due to sheer boredom.

"So the four of us are on lift duty. This is gonna be interesting." Nico nudged Hanayo's arm, grabbing her attention.

"Uh how...?" Hanayo started but was interrupted by a ginger-haired teenager.

"I know right?! We're able to greet the kiddos before anyone else! I mean, how cool is that?!"

"Look uh..." Hanayo started off, stopping after realising that she didn't have the teen's name.

"Honoka Kosaka, at your service!" The bubbly teenager did a mock bow while Hanayo and Nico stood in amazement.

"Okay Honoka, I better give you a heads up. Nico here was most likely being sarcastic. Also, Nico here has first hand experience on how bad they could be."

"Hanayo, you're over-exaggerating. But yeah, some of 'em aren't as comfy as beds of roses..."

"I thought roses have thorns?" The fourth girl spoke up, her dull black eyes staring at Nico and Honoka.

"Basically they aren't as innocent as they seem. Like my sexual experience yesterday..." Nico trailed off, stunning the girl and Honoka into silence.

"Well that was interesting to watch. Though I kinda pity you..." Hanayo shrugged, leaning against a wall.

"Ooh ooh! Tell me about your group! My sis says that you're pretty well known for getting the worst group!" Honoka pressed on, her baby-blue eyes shining with excitement.

"W-Worst?! Hold on, just because I-"

"Actually, that's what my sis says too. She got group 3. Y'know, the group where a fight broke out and one of the boys were found in your group?" Nico then remembered an unknown boy that caused Anki to swear.

"Ohhhhh! Right, that group."

"Story time! Story time!" Honoka chanted. "Oh yeah, shady lady! What's your name?"

"K-Kuma...? Why am I shady...?" The fourth teenager asked, pulling down her hood.

"Well on day 1, I got myself sexually harassed. Oh and they splashed water on me, used my shirt to dry their hands off, pressed against the lift bar and squeezed inside the space in between those bars."

"I don't understand, how did they 'sexually harass' you as you put it?" Chris asked, having heard their conversation.

"Peeping underneath the cubicle when I was using it."

"That still doesn't give you a reason to use such foul language at them." At this point of time, Nico was about to direct her boiling anger at Chris but was thankfully stopped by Hanayo.

"Try surviving day 2. One of them grinded against my lower regions while hugging me. If you aren't into that, I could tell you about the part where she thrust herself on to mine. Oh and the result was her getting aroused." Seeing that Chris was stunned into silence, Nico decided to press on. "Please don't tell me that 'aroused' is another bad word."

"Get ready, there are children approaching. I'll leave it to you while I get some supplies..." Chris got up and left, leaving the four teenagers with two other librarians in charge of the camp's attendance.

"He totally ignored you!" Honoka laughed, holding her sides.

"More like he didn't want to deal with me any longer." Nico replied, leaning on a nearby pillar.

"So what's the plan?"

"Hmm... Hanayo and Kuma should go up with the kids first? You guys have the card anyway." Nico suggested, beckoning a child to line up in front of Kuma.

"But going up one by one is really tedious..." Kuma pointed out.

"Then let's wait until we have eight or more of 'em! That way they could play with each other!" Honoka declared, pushing another child to where the first child was.

"They look a little bored..." Hanayo muttered, looking at the expressions of the children gathered so far.

"Okay kids, if you're bored, you just wave at this girl over here." Nico pointed to Kuma, who shot back a glare.

"Oh hell no." Kuma muttered as she faced the first child, who was waving at her. After 30 minutes, Honoka and Nico had successfully gathered ten kids for Hanayo and Kuma to bring them up.

"He's still playing?" Nico asked, looking at the child who was still waving his hand at Kuma.

"God save me."

"No way! You got demoted?!" Honoka slammed her fists on the table, startling Nico and Eli.

"Well duh. Why else do you think I'm on lift duty with ya?" Nico sighed, catching a glimpse of her group.

"Cause you're sick and tired of your group?" Honoka suggested, earning a flick from Nico.

"I like ya. You'll serve as S Rank bait for my team~" Eli giggled at Nico's joke, closing her book.

"Wait what?! Then what about you?!"

"Irregardless of her rank, those Smiggles will still eat her up." Eli declared, pointing behind Nico. "Like right now."

"SMIIIIIIIILE! YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE!" Yumi hollered as she charged towards Nico.

"Shit shit shit..." Nico got off from her seat and ran towards the restroom, in hopes of shaking off Yumi.

"Gah... I simply told them that Nico won't be with us and now they're kicking up a fuss..." Umi approached them and tried to tug Yumi back to where the group was.

"Who's Nico?" Yumi asked, a pout on her face.

"Smile. Ahhhh right... She didn't tell you her real name..." Umi placed a hand to her mouth, unintentionally revealing Nico's true name.

"She's a liar!" Yumi said in a huff before running off. Umi sighed and chased after the girl, Nico soon reappearing once they were gone.

"So, why Smile of all names?" Honoka asked, leaning forward.

"Eh, thought that it'll be easier for 'em. Two syllables or one?" Nico replied, snapping her fingers for no apparent reason.

"One. But your real name sounds better." Eli said, opening her book before deciding against it and shutting it back.

"Oh really? But you gotta admit, I do bring a smile to their faces."

"Maybe that's why that girl called you a clown."

"Well, I can't deny that I'm clowning around~"

"Oh my gosh, you two are totally flirting with each other!" Honoka burst out, an excited look on her face.

"Uh... No, we aren't..." Eli said, speechless at what she just heard.

"Yeah, I'm not gay. Okay, not like I'm insulting them but it'll be an insult to them if I pretended to be one...?"

"Eeeeeeeeee!"

XXXXXX

"I'm sorry for squealing like that." Honoka apologised after Nico talked (whacked) some sense into Honoka.

"All is forgiven Honoka." Eli smiled, picking up her book to read once again.

"Say, what are you reading? I saw you reading that yesterday." Nico asked, slumping on the table.

"The Diary of Anne Frank. Honestly, I can't wait to get off at one. I've been reading this eight times yesterday, two times today and fives times the day before." Eli replied, closing her book again.

"I wanted to read that but I couldn't find it at any of the libraries!" Honoka said, trying to grab the book. Nico's reaction was more lacklustre however, as she simply eyed the diary of a Dutch girl who lost her life to disease in World War Two.

"Ah really? She's overrated... Besid- Wait, what do you mean 'at one'?!" Nico asked, on the verge of grabbing Eli's cardigan.

"Yeah, logistics end at one. Oh wait... You were with the facilitator section before getting demoted..."

"Yeah. Fuck this, what about my hours?! Damn it! I bet Chris changed the attendance simply caused he didn't want me to get the hours I actually signed up for!"

"Well forget all about the hours for now! I'll drag you around cause it's so boring if I sit here for a sec longer! No offence Eli." Honoka said, lifting Nico off the chair.

"Knock yourselves out you two! Oh and maybe you can get it on with her?" Eli joked, receiving a glare from Nico.

"So... where are we going?" Nico asked, following Honoka.

"I'm gonna find my sister! And my friend who's in charge of group 2! Oh also my friend who's with my sis!"

"Uh... How many friends do you have...?" Nico asked, confused by the sudden influx of information.

"One teenager, one elder sis and one camper buddy!" Honoka said, bringing her to group 2. "Hey Fumi, I'm here!"

"Ah Honoka, nice to see you! Oh and is that the legendary Smile?" A teenager with short hair pointed to Nico, who simply nodded.

"Seriously, am I that well known?" Nico asked, exasperated over the attention she had been getting.

"Well yeah! I mean, who can forget the girl who always got her hands full with kids?" Fumi replied, dismissing the conversation with a wave of her hand.

"I've even told my younger sister about you!" Another teenager appeared, her hair reaching her waist and a friendly smile plastered on her face. Reminds me of Nozomi, Nico had thought to herself.

"Your younger sister...? Wait, which group are you from?"

"Oh sorry, I'm Mika. I was referring to my younger sister, Hanayo. Ah yes, I'm from group 3." Mika replied, shaking Nico's cold clammy hands.

"Oh Hanayo! Well that explains a lot..."

"I'll love to stay and chat but that mean lady is glaring at me! See ya later!" With that, Honoka broke into a run and went over to the group her own sister was in charge of.

"Who is she? And wait, don't tell me that you were here on the first day..." Nico asked, looking back to get a glimpse of the 'scary lady' Honoka was referring to.

"That librarian! Oh and yeah, I was. But don't worry, I don't know you!"

"Oh hey Honoka. I'm sorry for all the trouble my sister has been giving you..." A teenager with reddish-brown hair apologised, pushing her sister's head down.

"No biggie. I'm Nico but you could just call me-" Nico introduced but was swiftly cut off by Honoka's sister.

"Smile right? I'm Yukiho, pleasure to meet you. Pyon Pyon was talking about you actually." Yukiho chuckled, pointing at Umi.

"Was fatso being mean to you? Is that why you can't come back?" Yumi suddenly appeared in front of Nico, a guilty look in her eyes.

"Not really. In fact it was mainly you guys..." Nico trailed off, squatting down to meet Yumi's eye level.

"Pyon Pyon's putting a few words for you. She said that they were the cause." Kana said, running towards Yumi before proceeding to drag her away.

"I swear, Kana's the only good girl... Hey, can we take a look at the poster group 7 has made?" Nico asked the librarian in charge of group 7.

"Sure, I mean we put it there for a god damn reason eh?" The librarian smirked, ushering Nico and Honoka to the poster.

"Thanks. Careful of your words miss."

"Meh, I ain't handling your group. Have fun Nico!" The two of them walked away after examining the poster. All of a sudden, Honoka had an idea.

"Hey! If we ask all the groups to let us see their posters, I can get closer to group 2! You with me?"

"Gah, fine. Just expect throngs of kids at ya."

XXXXXX

"She's such a bitch! You two are hearing me right?!" Honoka slammed her fists on the table, making Nico sigh once again.

"Yes we are. What happened to you two?" Eli asked, a wry smile on her face.

"That mean librarian totally glared at me to get lost! I mean, her eyes were like 'get the fuck away from us freako'!" Honoka rambled, gritting her teeth.

"Moving on from Honoka's blues, let's have a moment to listen to the second half that pissed Honoka off from my mouth 'kay?" Nico grinned, a smile on her face.

"Well, Jingle Bells over there chased us off five seconds after Smiggle tackled me. What a delightful Christmas present don't ya agree?" Nico had a twisted smile on her face, slightly scaring Eli. Nevertheless, Eli had managed to keep her humour intact as she spurred the conversation on.

"Ho ho ho, Santa thinks that Smile is a good clown today! As such, she gets to have a yelling for being on my nice list!"

"Something like that Eli. God, you're funnier than I thought!" Nico laughed, albeit sarcastically.

"Why are you called a clown anyways?" Honoka asked, temporarily calming down.

"Cause Key calls me that. It's a little bit of a running gag." Nico explained, taking a swig of her water from her own cup of water.

"Sorry, can all the logistics follow me down? We want to prepare the campers' lunches!" Alice called out and led all of the logistics members to the lift. Once they were at their destination, the logistics members proceeded to carry out the tasks assigned by Alice. All was well until Chris arrived to examine what they have prepared.

"No no no. This is going to cause a lot of trouble to the groups if they sit like this. Please arrange it like this." Chris soon entered a five minute session of the desired arrangements of seating plans when the campers come down for lunch later, irking Nico greatly.

"Oh boy... Nico, keep your smile on." Eli warned, nudging her friend slightly. Said friend heeded Eli's advice and continued to smile as long as possible, deciding to narrow her eyes into two slits and glare at Chris instead.

"Chris, they have already done a lot. It would be too much of a hassle for them to move back again." Alice stepped in, trying her best to relieve the logistics members of their extra workload.

"We can't let them off just because they're tired. Who are the ones attending the camp?!" Chris retorted, dismissing Alice. By now, Nico had enough of Chris's actions for that day and decided to passively take action.

"Hey, are you done with that drink? Cause I want that empty can." Nico asked a volunteer who just happened to empty her contents in the can. The volunteer nodded, though slightly afraid as she wasn't actually allowed to drink sweet drinks in the library.

"Hey Honoka, keep your eyes open. Cause I think we're getting a good show..." Eli whispered into Honoka's ear, the latter nodding slowly.

"Don't worry about it Mr Chris, just repeat where you want the stuff to be placed and I'll do it for ya~" Nico said with a twisted smile. After finishing her sentence, she brought up the can until his eye level and crushed it into a ball. "Oh and I'm crushing this can is because I can't fit it into the trash bin. Also, it isn't my drink."

"Y-You know what? We should keep it like this. The first group's here anyways..." Chris stuttered out before leaving the room while everyone but Eli was stunned.

"Thanks for lending me this can~" Nico thanked the volunteer before disposing the can into the trash bin.

"Um... Sorry, but is this the camp nya?" A teenager with boyish orange hair asked, peeking into the room.

"Yeah, and you are?" Nico asked, a friendly smile on her face. An audible sigh could be heard from Eli while Honoka whimpered, making Nico herself sigh.

"Rin Hoshizora. I just came from school since it's really hard to ditch 'em nya..." Rin explained, scratching her cheek sheepishly.

"Okay then, you come on in and tell that to the librarian." Nico led her to Alice while she exited the room with Honoka and Eli.

"You were so badass!" Honoka started, looking at Nico cautiously. "I thought you're just a volunteer with a sassy attitude!"

"He seriously pissed me off. I don't give respect to people who don't treat me properly. At least he could be a little more understanding with the arrangements." Nico spat out, cracking her knuckles.

"Speaking of understanding, why is there a girl crying? And why is she coming towards us?!" Eli asked, pointing to a wailing girl that was running towards Honoka.

"This is the friend I told Nico about! C'mere, let it all out..." Honoka whispered as she led the girl to a quieter place.

"I've seen enough drama in movies but this definitely tops the list..." Nico murmured, receiving a push from the blond. "Just saying."

"Try to be a little more in check with your words."

"I use tact quite often. I learnt an interesting way to freak people out from an English supplementary."

"Hello again nya! Where is the ginger girl with you?" Rin came out from the room along with Alice. The librarian in charge of group 7 appeared and went towards Honoka and the girl, most likely consoling the crying girl.

"Forget about her. So, what's your job?" Nico asked, gritting her teeth as she prepared for the worst.

"Facilitator nya! Rin can't wait!" Rin jumped up and down, Nico trying her very best to control her bubbling rage.

'Screw societal views, this really is one heck of a drama...' Eli thought to herself as she pushed the duo towards where Alice was calling them.

XXXXXX

"Damn this, I really want my lunch..." Eli grumbled as she tied a balloon. Nico chuckled while Kuma and Hanayo were getting out more balloons for Nico to pump.

"You guys get off at one remember~? But I'll ask about it once I talk to 'em about my hours." Nico replied, vigorously pumping a yellow balloon with air.

"Sheesh, you really scared the heck outta that librarian..." Kuma replied as she tied the balloon Nico had just filled.

"What happened nya?" Rin asked, attempting to blow a balloon with her breath. It backfired on her and caused a mini air rocket that flew around the Pod.

"I got this on cam. Hope you don't mind, I wanted to show my sis how you put Chris in his place." Hanayo took out her handphone and played a video of Nico's 'obedience'. Once the video was done, Rin stared at Nico in horror.

"No biggie. Just don't send it to the group." Nico held up another balloon and pumped it until it was filled with air. "Hey uh, any of you guys free? I could use a little help tying this thing..."

"Gaaaaaaaaah! That braided hair bitch!" Honoka stormed into the Pod, an expression that reminded Nico of a rabid animal on Honoka's face.

"Braided? I assume you meant Christmas then. What did she do to you?" Nico sighed, passing the untied balloon to a librarian who was eating. "Help me out here?"

"I'm kinda busy eating my lunch here..."

"Speaking of lunches, when do we get to have ours? Oh and regarding my hours..." Nico soon delved into raising her concerns with the librarian, even though she wasn't in desperate need of the hours given.

"Well... The logistics won't be getting any lunch since you guys end at one. As for your hours... I'll discuss it with Akira?" The librarian responded, thinking that that will satisfy Nico.

"Okay thanks! The balloon?" Nico held up the balloon, the same twisted smile she had shown to Chris soon appearing on her face.

"Um... My lunch?"

"It would kind of be a shame if my grip on this balloon suddenly weakened due to my sweaty palm problem. And what horror it would bring the three of you if the balloon happen to fly on to your lunches? I'm sure fried noodles doesn't taste as good with a faint rubber taste..." That did the trick, for soon Nico returned with a tied balloon in her hands.

"Nico... I told you to use a bit more tact..." Eli sighed as she sat down on the floor.

"Hey, I told you that I learnt it during my supplementary lessons! Plus I thought I parcelled my words pretty tactfully..." Nico said, a sly smile on her face.

"So... we getting lunch soon?" Hanayo asked, her hands raw from tying so many balloons.

"Nope. We aren't getting any cause we're in logistics. Sucks huh?"

"What the hell is wrong with all of them?!" Honoka burst out, unintentionally popping a balloon.

"Wait, what about me nya?!" Rin asked, for she had to stay for the full duration and was one of the two supposed facilitators not getting lunch.

"I'll bring you to the cafe downstairs. Or you could warm up to that first-aid girl who's staring at you." Hanayo offered, looking at a first aid personnel with scarlet red hair.

"Hmm... Rin will try the free food nya!"

XXXXXX

"Thanks for coming with me even though you've just returned from your lunch break..." Honoka mumbled, eyes directed at the floor instead of Nico.

"No problem, though I did tell them that I'll be back in ten." Nico replied, patting Honoka's back. "So, what's the deal with your friend?"

"Oh right! That mean bitch yelled at my friend!"

"How so...?" Nico thought about it, Christmas scolding people was quite normal. Heck, Nico was one of her regulars when it comes to chiding.

"She told my friend to stop running and to shut up! Okay my friend was indeed running but-"

"Isn't that okay? I mean, I tell the brats to stop running too."

"First of all, what happened to no yelling in the library?! Secondly, she used 'shut up' which is a bad word right?! Lastly, who the heck points a toy sword at a seven year old?!" Honoka asked, grabbing Nico by the shoulders and shaking her vigorously.

"Calm your tits lady!" Nico shouted, ripping away from Honoka's grip. "But yeah, if that's the case then Christmas is also in the wrong."

"I'm so freaking mad! I can't even stay up there to watch the damn performance!" Honoka spat out before quietening down to cross the road. Once she was outside the convenience store, she went back to what she was saying.

"They are all assholes!"

"Meh, you've finally noticed." Nico simply shrugged her shoulders and followed Honoka to the cashier. Once Honoka was done purchasing her lunch, they went back to the library.

"You're heading back up right? They mentioned that they wanted to see you just now." Honoka asked, munching on her bread.

"Yeah, they mentioned that they wanted to 'get my side of the story'. No idea what that means." Nico replied, soon arriving at the library cafe.

"Welp, I'll hang around till they come down. Knock 'em dead Smile!" Honoka waved, pushing Nico inside the library.

"Geez, I can't kill them. Ah whatever, I'll go find Pyon Pyon to hang out with..." Nico mumbled to herself as she called Chris to send her up. Within three minutes, Nico was back at the Pod with nothing to do.

"I see that you're back. How much was your lunch? I will pay it back for you." Christmas said, approaching Nico.

'Using her size to intimidate me huh? No way am I backing down... Besides, the lunch was pretty cheap...' Nico stared at the looming figure, taking a tiny step backwards. "No need, I'm good."

"Are you sure?"

"Yup."

"I insist." Nico was slowly starting to get irritated. When she declines something, it meant that she wants the other party to forget about it.

"Don't worry about it."

"If you say so. You can just hang around or if you want a specific role, help out at the photo booth over there." Christmas pointed to a table containing many objects, presumably for taking photographs. Nico nodded and sat behind the photo booth, waiting for parents to arrive.

"Nico, I thought you were demoted?" Umi asked, approaching the photo booth.

"Pyon Pyon? What are you doing here? And why are you addressing me by my real name?" Nico replied Umi's question with questions of her own.

"Oh Jun vomited almost immediately after his lunch so I'm bringing Smiggle to visit him. And I may have revealed your name to the group..." Umi went over to Nico, browsing the items on the table.

"Yikes, is he okay? So, they've pronounce my name wrongly right?" Nico panned her attention to Jun, who was sitting outside of the restroom with another librarian. Surrounding them was the whole group except the boy who was originally from group 3.

"He's fine. They pronounced it correctly on the first try. Why, did you expect them to pronounce wrongly?"

"Yup. People back in my school call me 'Niki', 'Nikon' and 'Nissan' even... I mean, seriously?! Oh right, do you know why he puked?"

"Ahhh that... We suspect it was due to his lunch. You know, their lunch was pretty disgusting and so was ours."

"I know what the kids ate. I saw them with my own eyes and it's a negative ten. What did you guys eat?"

"Chicken rice but the rice was stale and the chicken tasted rubbery. You see that first-aider over there?" Umi pointed to the same scarlet haired first-aid personnel that Rin wanted to try getting a free meal from.

"Uh huh. Rin wanted to get a free meal from her since she didn't get her lunch like me."

"Well, the first-aider took a bite out of the chicken and promptly gave it to that orange-haired girl beside her." Umi nodded, turning to face the group. "Guys, shall we go? Christmas is waiting."

"Nicoooooo! You came back!" Yumi happily went over to Nico and hugged her. Key and Marianna went over to hug Nico's legs while Kana sighed deeply.

"You should have told us your real name!" Marianna said, digging her nails into Nico's right leg. Strangely enough, Nico didn't mind the action and allowed Marianna to continue.

"We're going back. We still need to prepare for our presentation which honestly is going to be a flop." Kana pulled Key away from Nico, with Key detaching from Nico's left leg like how a cat was pulled apart from something.

"Oh yeah, Nico's smart right?" Key suddenly burst out, trying her best to escape Kana's grip.

"Sorta...? W-Why?"

"Yesterday I had this tingly sensation down there! It kinda feels good if I touch it but it feels like a roller coaster after touching it too much! Why is that?" Nico and Umi blushed furiously, not expecting such a question from a seven year old. Even worse was that Kana was blushing too, making Nico question to what extent was Kana's maturity.

"Just look it up on the Internet. Let's go." With that, the group left along with Jun's caretaker. Realising that Nico was there, Jun hopped off from the seat and crawled into Nico's arms.

"Hewwo."

"Ah god damn it."

XXXXXX

"Hey Rin, seems like you're pretty frisky with Ms First-Aid~" Nico teased, approaching Rin and the first-aid personnel (with Jun in tow) once the parents were free to roam around.

"Nya~ Stop teasing Nico. Oh right Maki, she's the one you're referring to right?" Rin asked the personnel, the latter turning to face Nico with her amethyst eyes.

"Ah yeah. I was here yesterday, you know that right?" Maki asked, donning a white jacket.

"Yup, saw ya hanging around. Say, how was your lunch?" Nico decided to ask Maki, wanting to know her own thoughts on her lunch. To her surprise, her response it what she didn't expected.

"Not too bad. I had an extra so I gave it to Rin here." Nico resisted a chuckle before placing a sympathetic hand on Rin's shoulder.

"Why did you place your hand on me nya?"

"Maki here gave you her own lunch."

"R-Really?! That's so nice nya!" At this point, Maki was sweating buckets while Jun playfully tugged on her jacket.

"Yeah, after realising that the chicken rice tastes like shit."

"NICOOOOOO!" Maki was about to throttle Nico when all of a sudden, a girl not older than five appeared with a balloon in hand. "Shit. Hey, hit this one over here! Rin, let's scram!"

"Did she just leave me with her?!" Nico glanced at the girl, who was using the balloon to hit Nico's body.

"I'll protect you!" Jun chivalrously said, leaping in front of the girl.

"Let her follow us. I'll give her back..." Nico then searched for Maki, eventually locating her near the stage. "Got you!"

"Oh shit! Rin, run run run!" Maki tried to push Rin forward but was blocked by Jun. Nico then appeared behind Maki with the girl beside her.

"Hit her big butt!" Nico then carried Jun, running off once they were distracted.

"What's going on?" Umi asked once Nico appeared behind her.

"Big butt's coming this way! Use your Pyon Pyon butt to defend us!" Nico cried out, pushing Umi towards Rin and a fuming Maki (who still had the girl hitting her).

"What on earth are you talking about...? Oh hi, do I know you?" Umi politely greeted Rin and Maki, taking a step forward.

"Yeah... ATTAAAAAACK!" Maki pointed at Umi, causing the girl to charge forward and hit Umi with her balloon.

"Protect Pyon Pyooooooon!" The group suddenly popped out and formed a circle around Umi, with Yumi facing the girl.

"What madness is this nyaaaa..."

XXXXXX

"In the end, big butt lost to us!" Nico grinned, patting Rin's back. "Better luck next time!"

"Rin can't believe that my lunch was her lunch nyaaaa..." Rin sobbed, fully understanding why Maki looked weak afterwards.

"It tasted horrible. Don't tell me you ate them all?!" Umi asked, lifting up a box of trash from the counter.

"What could Rin do nya?! Rin's hungry!"

"Go out with me and Honoka for lunch. I ate a pizza bread which costed two sixty." Nico replied, lifting up a box containing water cups. "Speaking of Honoka, she told me that Christmas yelled at her camper buddy."

"Oh that girl from group 7. Yeah, Christmas told her to stop running and lower volume with the toy sword still pointing at her..." Umi sighed, walking towards the lift lobby where a few other volunteers were waiting.

"Honoka said that she used bad words. I swear, that was uncalled for."

"That's true. To think that she always told you to mind your language."

"I bet 'shut up' is not as bad as others. Oh hey wait! I used shut up often!"

"So you're telling us that she's a hypocrite nya?"

"Hell yes. Just now, she took away the toy sword after deeming it 'dangerous'." Nico dropped the box and made quotation marks over her head. Unfortunately for her, the box dropped on someone's foot and it was not either one of them.

"Please lower your volume, I can hear you from the front." Christmas said, her arms folded.

"Whoops, sorry 'bout that." Nico cheerfully apologised before picking up the box. The librarian left and the three of them resumed their conversation.

"You're mad at her aren't nya?"

"Obviously. Though I honestly didn't see her there." Nico placed the box in a storeroom and left once she was done. Umi and Rin followed suit once they were done too.

"It's a little sad that the three days ended nya..." Rin mentioned once they were at the first level. Upon hearing it, Nico immediately turned to Umi and whacked her head as hard as she could.

"What the heck?!"

"This for making a lame pun on Five Nights Of Freddy's." Nico simply said and stopped once she was in the middle of the library. "See ya next time."

"Eeeeeeeee!"

"... Right after I give Honoka a little bashing..." Nico grumbled as she went over to Honoka, chopping head numerous times.

"Hang on, didn't Christmas said that she and Chris wanna talk to Nico nya?"

"Huh? They did?"

"Yeah, Rin heard them telling Nico before she left! Should we remind her?"

"Nah... Knowing Nico, she probably decided to 'forget' about it..." Umi patted Rin's shoulders before leaving the library, the orange-haired teenager following suit while Nico remained behind to hit Honoka.

And that's the end of 'Three Days With Smiggle'! Thank you all for even reading to the end! As a reward, I'm going explain why I used the Love Live cast for some but not the rest. On to the cast!

Nico: I chose her to represent me cause she doesn't give a shit to those who flip her off. She's the type who has a sense of humour while maintaining her sarcasm, coincidentally representing me during the three days.

Umi: I chose Umi to represent my partner as she's serious when there's work to be done but funny if she wants to. You know that she's comfortable with smacking Honoka right? Yeah that's her but just that she can also say things that cause a lot of beatings from yours truly.

Nozomi: I chose her as that volunteer was funny as hell but also pretty Nozomi-like. She actually has a lot of advice to give and is just as helpful as Nozomi. Did I add that she's super kind even after coldly brushing her off on the first day? It's a shame that she didn't come for the last day of the camp.

Kotori: I chose her as she has that innocent personality who doesn't really say anything mean. She simply brushes things off by laughing awkwardly. I mean, Kotori hardly gets angry!

Hanayo: I chose her as that volunteer was super quiet. She doesn't really tend to talk but doesn't give off the 'fuck off' vibe too. Plus she's actually quite sweet when she talks.

Eli: I chose her as well... that volunteer seems cold at the start but warms up pretty quickly once you get to know her. Eli was pretty much the same after she joined Muse, talking so freely during the beach trip at Maki's house. Yup, she's actually quite like Eli.

Honoka: I chose her for that hyper volunteer as she's simply like a human Honoka. Energetic, friendly, sticking up for her friends even though in the face of authority. Loves yuri just like how Honoka loves her bread.

Rin: Actually, that volunteer doesn't really represent Rin that well. But then, making her Maki will fit even less given that Maki is all tsundere. Plus during the chase, she was pretty energetic and fun to be with. She even offered 'Maki' to us so that she won't get hit by balloon girl!

Maki: The first-aid personnel who's just a year older than me is actually quite Maki-like. Instead of Maki's 'Nani sore? Imi wakannai.', she goes 'The heck is going on?' Plus she acts kind of antagonistic to me (just that I didn't write about it), kind of like Nico and Maki in the anime huh?

Well, not too sure if you skipped the bonus I was giving out to you guys but if you did... Well, happy new year! Take 2016 to be a fresh page of your life! (You'll need it for those who are living here... Especially those who are at my age...)
