"Bye!" Ryouko Fujisaki waved to her friend, Sakura. She then turned to her other friend, Yuuri. "So… what was the name of that cafe that you wanted to take me there again?"
"Cafe Mew Mew!" Yuuri sighed. "It's really popular! I'm really surprised that you've never heard about it. "
"I've heard about it, just didn't feel like keeping it in my mind 'cause I don't like sweets that much. And from what I've heard, all they have is cakes." They continued walking in silence. Then Ryouko broke it. Pointing to a small building in the park, she asked, "Is that it? You told me it was pink."
"Yeah. Be prepared to wait though; the lines are really long."
Ryouko realized Yuuri wasn't kidding. The line must've extended 50 meters out the door. "Um, why is it this popular? There must be loads of other bakeries in Tokyo."
Yuuri shrugged. "Beats me. "
The two girls got in line. About two hours later, they got into the cafe, sitting at an empty table near a window.
A red-haired girl ran up to them and handed them menus. "Hi, I'm Ichigo, what would you like?"
Ryouko looked down at her menu. "Um... I guess I'll just have a tiramisu cake."
"And I'll have a strawberry shortcake and chocolate milkshake, please." Yuuri said after a moment.
Ichigo wrote their orders down, and ran into the kitchen.
Ryouko pulled her homework out of her backpack. "Since I have nothing to do right now, I'll do my homework."
"Good idea." Yuuri did the same.
After a few minutes, the "popular 2nd year guy"came up to them, handed the girls their orders, and left.
Ryouko put her homework back in her backpack. "Do you know where the restroom is? I want to wash my hands."
"I dunno. Why don't you ask one of the waitresses?"
Ryouko looked around. "Nah, they look too busy. A restaurant should have restrooms." She got up and walked towards the direction where she thought the restrooms would be, poking her head into every doorway. At one doorway at the end of the hall, she noticed a strange machine. She walked toward it cautiously and observed it, then pushed a button. A bright light exploded from the machine, causing Ryouko to black out.
