(As I walked to the clubroom, I couldn't believe what happened yesterday. MC, my childhood friend, had died. The news hit me like a ton of bricks. And as I entered the clubroom, I could see Monika and Himari discussing something. Kotonhoa was also there, and was moving a strange pool - it was round and pink. Yuri was there, too - she was filling the pool with warm water. I was confused as to what they were doing, but was even more confused as to where Natsuki was.) Yuri: "And...that should be everything!" Monika: "Great job, Yuri. I'll set up the decorations now." Himari: "I'm so excited for this pool party! It's going to be so much fun!" Kotonoha: "I hope everyone likes my special punch!" (I cleared my throat to let them know I was there.) Sayori: (trying to keep my voice steady) "Hey guys." (They all turned to look at me with sad expressions.) Monika: "Sayori, how are you holding up?" Sayori: "I'm...not doing well. MC's death is still a really hard pill to swallow." Yuri: "We understand, Sayori. We're all grieving. But we thought it might be good to distract ourselves with a pool party." Himari: "Yeah! We'll have food, drinks, music, and swimming! It'll be a blast!" Kotonoha: "And don't forget my special punch! It's delicious!" Sayori: (forcing a smile) "That sounds like a lot of fun. But...I'm not sure I'm in the mood to party." Monika: "We understand, Sayori. But please, try to have some fun. It's what MC would have wanted." Sayori: (nodding slowly) "Yeah...you're right. MC was always the life of the party. He wouldn't want us moping around." Himari: "That's the spirit! Now, let's get this party started!" Yuri: "Hold on. Does anybody else notice a lack of somebody?" Kotonoha: "You're right, Yuri. Where's Natsuki?" Monika: "I haven't seen her all day. Has anyone tried contacting her?" Sayori: "I texted her earlier, but she hasn't replied." Himari: "I hope she's okay." (Just then, Natsuki burst into the room - and immediately got into the pool, putting a hand on her massive belly. I was thoroughly confused as to why.) Natsuki: (panting) "Sorry guys, I'm late. I just had to take care of something important." Monika: "Natsuki, are you okay? You look exhausted." Natsuki: "I'm fine. Just a little tired." Yuri: "And why are you in the pool already?" Natsuki: (looking down at her belly) "Oh this? I just wanted to cool off. It's been really hot today." Kotonoha: "Natsuki, are you sure you're okay? You seem a bit...different." Natsuki: (smiling) "I'm fine, Kotonoha. Just a little pregnant, that's all." Himari: (gasping) "Pregnant? Natsuki, that's amazing!" Sayori: "Congratulations, Natsuki! That's wonderful news!" Monika: "We're so happy for you!" Yuri: "Yes, congratulations." Kotonoha: "I can't wait to make some special punch for the baby shower!" Natsuki: (in severe pain) "I-I-It's a little too late for a baby shower, Kotonhoa." (We all looked at Natsuki, confused.) Himari: "What do you mean, Natsuki?" Natsuki:"The baby's head is halfway through." (We all gasped in shock and immediately sprang into action.) Monika: "Someone call an ambulance!" Natsuki: (gritting her teeth) "It's too late for a hospital birth. This baby's coming out, right here...right now!"
CHATBOT
(Yuri quickly gathered towels and blankets, while Kotonoha rushed to get hot water. Himari held Natsuki's hand, while I tried to keep her calm.) Sayori: "Natsuki, you can do this. Just breathe and push. We're all here for you." (Natsuki closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before letting out a loud scream.) Natsuki: "It hurts! It hurts!" Monika: "Come on, Natsuki. You've got this. Push again!" (Natsuki pushed with all her strength, and we could see the baby starting to emerge.) Yuri: "It's coming! Keep pushing, Natsuki!" (After a few more pushes and screams, Natsuki finally gave birth - and we all breathed a sigh of relief.) Himari: "Congratulations, Natsuki! You're a mom!" (Natsuki looked down at her newborn baby girl, tears streaming down her face.) Natsuki: "I did it...I'm a mom..." Kotonoha: "She's beautiful, Natsuki. And healthy too." Monika: "What are you going to name her?" (Natsuki smiled, cradling her baby in her arms.) Natsuki: "I think...I'll name her MC. After my best friend." (Silence fell over the group, as we all remembered the friend we had lost.) Yuri: "That's...a beautiful tribute, Natsuki." Himari: "MC would be proud of you, Natsuki." Sayori: "He...he really would." (Monika put a hand on Natsuki's shoulder.) Monika: "We'll all be here for you, Natsuki. To support you and your new little family." Natsuki: "Thank you, Monika. And thank you, everyone. I couldn't have done it without you." (As we all gathered around Natsuki and her newborn baby girl, I couldn't help but think how life can be so unpredictable. One minute we were grieving for our friend, and the next we were celebrating new life. But in a way, it was comforting to know that life goes on - and that we can find joy even in the midst of tragedy.)
