Usagi sat behind the counter, listening and waiting silently until the right moment came about.
Motoki stood to her left, chatting with someone. His hand moved to the end of the counter. Anticipation built up in her stomach.
A spoon dropped, and without a moment's hesitation, she shot up and fired.
"Usagi! Wait!"
Whipped cream shot out from the can and splattered across Rei's face, matting her bangs down and covering her eyes. She began shrieking and stumbled backwards, shielding her head with two cross-linked arms.
Air sputtered out, and the cream died down. Rei's fangs were bared and glinting as she wiped the frothy mess from her face.
Motoki rubbed a hand over his eyes. "I told you to wait."
Usagi flushed with embarrassment and handed Rei a napkin. "But you dropped the spoon! That was supposed to be the signal!"
"Signal for what?" Mamoru sat down in his usual stool and swiveled around to look at Rei. "What happened to you?"
She glowered. "Usagi happened." And with a growl, she stomped off towards the bathroom.
Mamoru raised an eyebrow and looked at the empty can sitting on the counter. "Do I want to know?"
Motoki shook his head. "No, not really."
