*This chapter was requested by NurseryGown! I'm only on chapter one of ZZZ, I did finish the prologue though, so if I get anything wrong I apologize!*
*Belle and Wise are just closing their store for the day, then when Nicole comes in with a problem*
*Belle POV*
"Phew, and... we're closed. Between the commissions and tending the store, today sure was eventful," I say, flipping the Open sign to Closed.
"Seems like most days are like that, there's always something going on," Wise replies, putting some things back on the shelf.
I yawn, before stretching my arms.
"Well, I'm beat. I might head to bed a bit early tonight," I say, but Wise chuckles a bit.
"I don't understand how you can even sleep in there, your room is filthy," Wise says, earning a little shove from me.
"It's like you said, things are always happening. Not everyone can be as proactive as you, Wise. Plus, I'm never going to my room when I have energy, it's too hard to not just immediately fall asleep," I whine, which just earns a playful pat on the head.
"You know, you could always just ask-"
*Knock knock*
Wise is interrupted by a knock at our front door. Can people not read signs?
"I swear, no one knows what closed means," I complain as they knock again. But this time it's accompanied by a familiar voice.
"Hey! It's me, open up, I need you!" The voice exclaims.
"Man, wonder what Nicole could want at this time at night... let's go see," I say as I go and answer the door. As soon as I open the door, Nicole barges in, out of breath.
After taking a few seconds to catch her breath, Nicole closes the door and begins to speak.
"Phaethon, you two, I really need your help. You're the last people I can turn to!" Nicole desperately pleads.
"Let me guess, debt collectors again?" Wise asks, this isn't the first time we've been through this.
"Yeah! So the lawsuit is going well, but lawyers are expensive! I've used all my Dennies on the case, but now I don't have enough to pay my previous debts~" She proclaims, putting her hand on her head, clearly trying to seem more dramatic.
"Let me guess, you're asking for a loan, aren't you? Our bank account isn't exactly overflowing either, you know," I respond, but she dramatically grabs my shoulders.
"Oh come on, I'll pay you back! You should've seen the creep who came to collect, the way he was looking at me, he's definitely interested in more than just me paying my debts! Do it for your old friend Nicole!" She pleads once more. This starts to give me an idea...
"Okay, okay, fine. Just make sure you-" I cut off Wise before he can finish.
"Wait! I have an idea. So you need money, correct?" I ask, which Nicole nods enthusiastically in response to.
"Yes! Please! You can trust me to pay you back!" Nicole asserts, still gripping my shoulders.
"First off, no I can't. Secondly, how about you do something for me before you get the money? Then it won't be a loan, and you wouldn't need to pay us back," I propose, which causes Nicole's face to change into one of confusion, and Wise is looking at me like I've gone insane.

FanfictionI've had ships I've wanted to write for a while, but no story to hold them, so I decided to make a general yuri book. I don't own any characters I write.
