Jess was crying. Ashlie and Sasha were crying. I was crying. The only people managing to hold back tears were Em and Max.

   "C-come on guys," Olivia said, "we should head upstairs."

   We all went to the elevator, entering in silence. The next day or so, we tried to just stay positive. Then of course, Monokuma had other ideas.

It happened on the third day after Shelby's death and Corey's trial. We heard a whirring noise coming from the hallway.

    "What is that?" I asked.

   Dan, who was the only other person in the room, sitting across from me, shrugged.

   "Might as well check it out, I suppose" he said.

   The two of us walked towards the sound, which got just that much louder with each step we took. We reached the staircase, and I couldn't believe what I saw. The fence thing that had been in front of it was lifting, leaving the stairs open for exploration.

   "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention..." an irritating voice behind us said.

   We jumped so badly we almost hit the ceiling.

   "Jeez! Frickin... Don't do that you stupid bear!" I yelled, my heart racing.

   "As I was saying..." the rude bear continued, "every time you guys win a trial, a new floor is unlocked! You two start exploring, I'll go get the other rug rats!"

   Monokuma ran down the hall.

   "Ok, that was weird right?" Dan asked.

   I nodded.

   "Definitely weird" I said.

   We went up, and found a floor with multiple possibilities. There were locker rooms, a pool, and a music room.

   "Wow" Ross said, though his face remained expressionless.

   "This is cool... but how can we swim without swimsuits?" Barney asked.

   Ross, Barney, and the others had entered.

    "Barney makes a fair point" Jess said, "why would Monokuma open something up to us that we can't use?"

   "Gee, I don't know, Tank top, maybe he wanted you to drown each other." Monokuma said, popping into our group.

   "Gah!" Red cried, as the bear had popped up right next to him.

   "For the record, you all have new swimsuits in your rooms, courtesy of mwah!"

    "Um, why were you in our rooms?" Sasha asked.

  Monokuma shrugged.

    "I'm the principal, I can go wherever I want. Anyhow, go check out your new suits! Have fun!"

   Then he left.

   "Ok, that bear really gives me the creeps." Adam said.
