The Library is Open, 5-3

[swerval_zero]

Zero opened up the library. The last time she would ever do so. She gave a sad sigh as she opened the doors, and then was bombarded by The Library seeking vengeance.

"Okay, okay, I'll hit her with a stupid mallet," she promised. "Just let me get my work done first."

First Period

[swerval_zero]

Goodbye, filing cabinet the Library wouldn't let her open...

Second Period

[swerval_zero]

Goodbye, Special Collections...she hopes someone will be able to handle you.

Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Goodbye, cubby under the collections desk for napping...

Fourth Period

[swerval_zero]

Goodbye--a pink bird landed on Zero's head and squawked, "ARE YOU MY MUMMY?"

"Fish? Fishy, where'd you come from? Yes, I'm your mummy, silly bird!"

Lunch

[swerval_zero]

The library is closed so the aides, librarian, and their friends can eat in peace. Fish is perched on Zero's shoulder, and she's feeding him bits of her peanut butter sandwich.

Fifth Period

[swerval_zero]

Goodbye, books that always seemed to be shelved in a different place every time she looked...

Sixth Period

[swerval_zero]

Goodbye, stupid Library in her head making her be a smatcheting bitch...

Seventh Period

"All right, all right already. I'll do it." She picked up her croquet mallet and patted Fish, by now perched on the back of her chair. "Don't run away again. Mummy'll be back for you just as soon as she can."

"Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto?"

"Yes, Fishy. D'ANNA BIERS! PREPARE TO PAY!"
