Rei: Oh, I'm thirty minutes late now! Usagi's house is, let's see, straight along this path... Oh, since they all go to Juuban High, I bet they exchange notes and such during class, working on Christmas plans! I just found out there was a party at Usagi's place on the phone yesterday, and I just found out the time a little while ago on my pager! And still, when I called, it was "Buy fruit for the salad!" and "Don't you have some fun game?" I wish they would shape up! They won't make fun of Hino Rei-sama of T*A Girls School! Hmph!

[doorbell rings]

Usagi: Coming!

[door opens]

Usagi: Oh, Rei-chan. You're late!

Rei: What! I couldn't help it. "Come on, Rei-chan, run as fast as you can!"

Makoto: Quit fighting, you two.

Usagi: Even Mako-chan was going on and on about it. We were all waiting for you, Rei-chan.

Makoto: *sigh* I was just now making a nice dish with Usagi-chan's mom, so come help Ami-chan decorate the room.

Ami: You don't have to worry about me, I was just about finished.

Makoto: Well then, why don't you put the candles on the cake.

Usagi: No problem! I'll do the cake!!

Makoto: Er, Usagi-chan...

Ami: It's all right. I can do it by myself...

Usagi: No fair, no fair! I'll do it too! I'll put on a bunch of candles. ... Speaking of which, I wonder how many there should be. Ten!! I guess there's no reason for that...

Rei: I know! Since Christmas is the birthday of Christ...

Usagi/Rei: 1996 candles!!!

Ami: Umm, you two...

Makoto: Well, whatever you decide, as long as Minako-chan hasn't bought the cake...

[door opens]

Minako: Sorry I'm late, everyone! Hey, hey, listen, listen. They were filming at the park near the shopping district. I think it might be for a commercial, but Arisa-chan was so cute! "Will you stay with me even after we graduate?" I'm going to catch him, and sunset might be the best match again.

Usagi: Minako-chan.

Minako: But, they're already filming the graduation ceremony. And graduation is in March. It's December now, so January, February, March...

Usagi: Minako-chan!!

Minako: Huh!?

Usagi: It looks to me like you're empty-handed, Minako-chan, but... Where's the cake?

Minako: Oh...!! I forgot...

Usagi/Ami/Rei/Makoto: Minako-chan!
