Thankfully, it wasn't too hard for Chibi Usa to continue monopolizing Hotaru until that awaited lunch time finally rolled around. She had to spend almost all of her pocket money to do it, but at this point she wasn't willing to explore other exhibits without her friend's companionship. Her mother's appetite came in handy, as most of the menu items involved a sugary treat; at least the portions were generally small! Now she loitered just outside of the preparation area for the maid café, waiting for Hotaru to emerge. The pink-haired girl idly wondered if her friend would still be wearing the maid uniform—it was so cute on her!

She thought she heard the sound of her friend's approach.

"Are you ready, Hotaru-chan?" Chibi Usa gleefully exclaimed, ready to lead her on to the art exhibit. That was to be their first stop!
