(In the clubroom…)

Sayori: “Okay…WHO thought it was a good idea to rig the closet to dump a ton of water all over me? I was just about to grab my poem!” (rubbing her 7-month baby bump) “Sachiko would’ve loved that poem…man, I can’t wait to finally hold her in my arms.”

Monika: (concerned) “Sayori, are you okay? You and the baby didn’t get hurt, did you?”

Sayori: (smiling) “Don’t worry, Monika. We’re both fine. Just a little surprised from the unexpected shower. But I should be more careful. Anyways, where’s Natsuki?”

Natsuki: (walking into the clubroom, soaking wet) “Right here! Thanks to whoever thought it would be hilarious to prank Sayori, I’m drenched too!”

Yuri: (reaching into her bag, pulling out a towel) “Here, Natsuki. Take this towel and dry yourself off. We should be more mindful of our pranks, especially since Sayori is pregnant.”

Natsuki: (gratefully taking the towel) “Thanks, Yuri. Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t think about that. Sayori, I apologize for getting you involved in this mess.”

Sayori: (giggling) “It’s alright, Natsuki. Pranks happen, and we all know you didn’t mean any harm. Let’s just make sure we’re more careful next time.”

Monika: (smiling) “I’m glad everyone is okay. Let’s put this little incident behind us and focus on our club activities. Sayori, do you want some help retrieving your poem?”

Sayori: (nodding) “That would be great, Monika. I really want to share this poem with Sachiko. She’s going to love it.”

Natsuki: (curious) “What’s the poem about, Sayori? Is it something special for your baby?”

Sayori: (leaning on her desk, placing a hand on her belly) “Yes, it’s a poem about my hopes and dreams for Sachiko. I want her to know how loved and cherished she is even before she’s born.”

Yuri: (softly) “That’s incredibly sweet, Sayori. I’m sure Sachiko will appreciate it when she’s older.”

(As the club members come together to support Sayori and her baby, they continue their activities with a renewed sense of care and consideration for one another.)

(The next day…)

Sayori: (noticing Natsuki’s absence) “Hey, where’s Natsuki? She’s usually the first one here.”

Monika: (concerned) “I’m not sure. She didn’t mention anything yesterday. Maybe she’s just running late?”

Natsuki: (entering the clubroom, her body covered head-to-toe with strawberry frosting) “Here I am! Sorry I’m late, but someone decided to play another prank on me. Looks like they found out about my weakness for strawberry frosting.” (laughs)

Yuri: (concerned) “Oh no, Natsuki! Are you alright? That looks like quite the mess.”

Natsuki: (grinning) “I’m totally fine, Yuri! It’s just frosting, after all. Although, I am a little curious as to who is behind these pranks…”

Sayori: (giggling) “Well, Natsuki, at least it’s a delicious prank. And don’t worry, we’ll find out who’s doing this. No one messes with our club members without consequences.”

Monika: (nodding) “Exactly. We’ll keep an eye out and make sure this doesn’t happen again. But for now, Natsuki, let’s get you cleaned up.”

Natsuki: (thankful) “Thanks, Monika. I really appreciate it. And don’t worry, I won’t let these pranks get to me. It’s all in good fun, right?”

Yuri: (smiling) “Indeed, Natsuki. As long as we all remember to be mindful of each other’s well-being and make sure these pranks don’t cross any boundaries.”

(Suddenly, a package lands next to Monika. It appears to be for her.)

Monika: (surprised) “Oh, what’s this?” (picks up the package and starts unwrapping it, only to get hit in the face by a blueberry pie) “…oh, for the love of literature! Who keeps doing this?”

(A day later…)

(The club members gather in the clubroom once again, determined to solve the mystery behind the pranks.)

Monika: (wiping pie off her face) “Alright, this has gone too far. We need to figure out who’s behind these pranks and put an end to it.”

Yuri: (looking around the room) “Perhaps we should set up a hidden camera to capture the culprit in the act.”

Natsuki: (eagerly) “Yeah! And then we can expose them for the troublemaker they are.”

Sayori: (with determination) “I agree. It’s time we teach them a lesson about respecting others and their boundaries.”

(The club members brainstorm ideas on how to catch the prankster, discussing various strategies and techniques.)

Monika: “Alright, everyone, let’s split into teams. Yuri and Sayori, you two can set up the hidden camera. Natsuki and I will patrol the area and keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior.”

Yuri: “Sounds like a plan. Sayori, let’s gather the necessary equipment and get started right away.”

(Sayori and Yuri head off to gather the camera and equipment, leaving Monika and Natsuki to patrol the clubroom.)

Monika: (whispering) “Natsuki, keep your eyes peeled. We need to catch the prankster in the act.”

Natsuki: (nodding) “Got it, Monika. I won’t let them get away with this.”

(As the club members wait and watch, tensions rise with each passing moment. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the hidden camera captures footage of a mysterious figure entering the clubroom.)

Monika: (whispering) “Natsuki, it’s happening. Stay calm and let’s see who it is.”

(The figure moves stealthily, trying not to make any noise as they approach their target. Suddenly, Natsuki leaps forward, grabbing onto the figure and revealing them to be…)

Natsuki, Sayori, Monika, and Yuri: (surprised) “MC?!”

MC: (grinning sheepishly) “Hey guys, sorry about all the pranks. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble. I just wanted to lighten the mood and have some fun.”

Sayori: (with a mix of relief and annoyance) “MC! You really scared us with all these pranks. We thought someone was targeting us.”

Monika: (slightly frustrated) “MC, pranks can be fun, but you should have considered the potential consequences. We were worried about each other’s safety.”

Yuri: (looking disappointed) “I must admit, I expected better from you, MC. It’s important to prioritize respect and boundaries.”

MC: (apologetically) “I’m really sorry, everyone. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings or cause any harm. I was just trying to make the club more lively.”

Natsuki: (softening her expression) “Well, maybe next time, think about the repercussions, okay? We’re a team, and we need to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable.”

Sayori: (smiling) “Yeah, MC. We all love having fun, but let’s make sure it’s fun for everyone and not at the expense of anyone’s well-being.”

Monika: (nodding) “Exactly. We’re a club that values respect and support, so let’s continue that moving forward. Let’s find more positive ways to bring joy to the club together.”

MC: (grateful) “Thank you, guys. I truly apologize for my thoughtless pranks. I’ll make it up to all of you and be more considerate in the future.”

Sayori: (with a worried expression on her face) “
