The temperature in Juuban City blazed a dangerous 101 degrees. The four senshi friends sat at a booth basically in their bathing suits, fanning themselves in vain. Motoki leaned against the ice cream counter, his body trying to cool itself against the machine. He tilted his head forward to see his latest heat-tortured customers enter Crown: the sweat drenched pair of Tsukino Usagi and Chiba Mamoru. They trudged to the stools at the ice cream counter and plopped themselves on separate seats.
Usagi mumbled something similar to "chocolate milkshake", and Mamoru's grumble sounded the same, so Motoki began to fix two chocolate shakes whether they wanted them or not. After finishing the first, Motoki placed the glass on the counter before starting the second. Usagi reached out and began to fill her mouth with the cool, thick liquid. Meanwhile, Mamoru was dying in the heat and grabbed the milkshake from Usagi and took a long drought as well.
Irritated, Usagi grabbed the milkshake and pulled it back towards her, but Mamoru refused to let go. She shot him an evil glare that screamed, "I'm going to bite you!" but soon was eased because of the sweltering heat. Usagi let out a sigh and rested her head on the counter. Soon, Motoki returned with the second milkshake, and Usagi resumed drinking the chocolate concoction, somewhat happier.
Makoto laughed at the pair sitting at the ice cream counter. She exchanged looks with her fellow senshi who all silently agreed that it was too damn hot and Usagi and Mamoru were too lazy to have an argument today.
