A few weeks later
Royal Club Clubroom
The shirts, shoes and bottoms for the Royal Club members for the Royale High end-of-term concert soon arrived. Everyone tried them on and were purely amazed by the comfort and simplicity of the team outfits. Elisa admitted she only wanted something simple because they were only doing backstage work and not a lot of performing.

Trying them on, Elisa declared, "Now that we have our new uniform on, it's time for some serious business! Everyone, to the pool!"

"Alright!" Everyone chorused, charging to the poll without hesitation.
School pool
With the stage all set up, Elisa stood at the front and instructed, "Emcees, please come on stage." The emcees climbed up to the stage. Elisa gave them instructions on how to turn on the mics and they did a dry run. She did this tirelessly for the entire two hours... or as it seemed on the surface.

After the two hours, the sky was dark, Elisa's face drooped and she sighed. Her sharp eyes closed right after as she collapsed to a chair.

Everyone felt this was unusual since Elisa was often the most hardworking person in the club. Alicia ran up and tapped Elisa on the shoulder, asking, "Are you ok?"

No response.

"Welp, she must have dozed off," Madison admitted. "I'll help Elisa back to her dorm and back to her bed."

Getting Elisa to her feet, the duo helped her back to their dorm room, making sure one of Elisa's hands wrapped each other. Back at the dorms, they brought her back to her bed and tucked her in.
The next day
English Class
Walking into English Class, Elisa still looked downcast and exhausted, with eye bags from the constant mugging and endless club activities. Realising a good night's sleep didn't do the trick, Elena and Madison asked in concern, "Are you ok? You haven't been even looking like yourself the past few days."

"I'm ok," Elisa admitted, denying her exhaustion. "Just have a lot on my mind."

Yet she wasn't alright at all. During the entire class, Elisa was constantly dozing off, to the point the English teacher couldn't stand it. "ELISA FRANCES ICIA!" He bellowed. "GO TO THE PORCELAIN THRONES AND WASH YOUR FACE!"

Getting up, Elisa stumbled a few times. A short while after she left her row of seats, Elisa's world spun around, then blurred and turned black.

Seeing Elisa collapse, everyone freaked out and the lesson stopped immediately. Madison immediately called the Royal ambulance, while the rest tried their best to shake Elisa up. Not a word was heard until the paramedics arrived in school.

Meanwhile, Alicia was heading to Art class from Swimming when she saw four paramedics rush into the school. Forgetting where she was going, she followed the paramedics, earnestly hoping they weren't there because of one of her juniors.

When she reached the English classroom, she was proven wrong. Madison and Elena opened the door earnestly and chorused, "Please, save your friend!" Alicia rushed into the classroom and realised why the paramedics arrived at Royale High: Elisa had collapsed.

Picking her up on the stretcher, Madison and Elena were told to follow the paramedics to the ambulance. Madison and Elena could only comply.
A few hours later
New Royale Hospital
Elisa's world regained brightness. It started out saturated but after a few blinks, her world regained full brightness.

"Ah... you're awake!" The nurse exclaimed in delight.

"What...happened?" Elisa asked hesitantly.

"You collapsed in school because of sleep deprivation and was flown here from Royale High. You're in the good hands with us in the hospital now." She left and Alicia came into the room.
