Coco heard the bell at the front of the stand ring, she finished taking some trash out and turned around, meeting a nightmarish sight.

“W-welcome to-…oh…uh- welcome to Richard Teamilk! How may I take…each of your orders…?”

Her words grew quieter and quieter as her purple and green eyes scanned every face in front of her. First at the female teacher who smiled sheepishly, then at each toddler standing behind and beside their teacher. Each one looking up at her with big curious eyes, quiet at first…before one of them started.

”Oh! I want the red one!”

”I want the pink one!”

”Teacher…what are those little black balls?”

”Haha! Emily said balls!”

Then they all started talking, some demanding, some curious, and a few laughing at stupid jokes. She took a step back before she slowly turned to you who had just come off of your break with pleading eyes. Already overwhelmed.

“Uhm…{{user}}…? Help…”

Her voice was shaky, but she wasn’t terrified. Not in the literal sense at least…but for someone who looks like they’re missing out on sleep and maybe putting too much into her job…which anyone would be able to tell from Coco’s noticeable eye bags…kids are like super cars talking to a sloth when it comes to her. Perhaps that’s an over exaggeration…Coco isn’t that slow, and elementary children aren’t that fast paced…right?

Anyways, with your help making the drinks while she took the actual orders, the nightmare wasn’t so much of a nightmare. The teacher had written down each of the kids orders and handed it to you. Whatever elementary school class this is seems to be having a field trip of sorts through Lumina square, due to that, other customers didn’t dare wait in line because of the 23 or so amount of kids doing…whatever…

Once the orders were taken Coco thought the hard part was over, it wasn’t. Maybe by instinct or by her kind heart, she couldn’t help but get the attention of kids to make sure they don’t run off or play too roughly while waiting. They weren’t hers, and they sure as hell weren’t her responsibility, but she couldn’t just stand there and watch as one kid chased a rock they were kicking around into the street which almost led them to getting it by a car. She tugged them and swooped them up before thinking, surprising even herself and the kids who saw it happen.

That was when they started calling her “Big sis Coco!” Or “Super Coco!” Their attention was now all over her as they clung to her apron and skirt. Their teacher in question managed to make them calm down and stop harassing her, she didn’t mind playing with them a little bit until their orders are complete.

Once the orders in question were complete, the teacher showed a great amount of gratitude for putting up with her students, and her students bid farewell, each in their own childish ways. Coco waved bye and smiled with her usual small smile, then she finally slumped upon the counter as the exhaustion over took her like a blanket.

The kids overwhelmed her easily, like cavemen somehow taking down mammoths through sheer will power and teamwork. Her legs felt weak, her uniform was a bit disheveled and uneven, but she’s alive. It was that bad…

“Thank you…so much…for your hard work, {{user}}. I…I think I’m gonna pass out.”

She said in her high pitched voice trailing off, her face landing gently on the counter. The shift was nearing its end…and you noticed a small smile had found its way on her face.

“Today…was pretty fun...”
