...Everything and the kitchen sink is wrong, Mommy...
[She said, making herself sound childish at least halfway on purpose.]
[Annabelle chuckled, then, and gave her a hug.]
.....That's OK, darling. Everybody feels like that, sometimes. And with what happned today, and Miku-chan just - just disappearing like that...
[Rin sighed, then.]
- I don't think Miku's gonna be coming back, Mommy.
[Annabelle looked at her, and gave her a hug, then.]
...Maybe, maybe not - I mean, as your father used to say...
[And then, waved a finger at Rin, waiting for her to chime in.]
Sometimes, life throws an entire truckful of lemons at you. In that case, the first thing to do is duck and run, so the lemon barrels don't crush you flat. And then...
And then, you grab as many of those frigging lemons as you can, and go and make lemonade, and lemon cakes, and lemon salad dressings, and any other lemon-y thing that you can possibly think of. Nothing should be wasted - Especially lemons. You can make a fortune that way, OK?
[Rin chimed in - And then, she leaned against her mother, and hugged her tight.]
[The outside world - Outside the school]
[Copy Sayaka and Shizuka both returned to the school, then, only to discover that the school hours were long over, and the only people left there were the people doing club activities.]
...I missed more then half of school!?
[Shizuka said, disbelievingly, while Copy Sayaka sweatdropped.]
[Inside Sayaka's mini world]
[Sayaka Oktavia hummed happily as her friends carried her along. Oh, yes, her house was near here, right?]
[Mami and Kyoko, in the meanwhile, stopped dead as they turned the corner, and the place that was supposed to be Sayaka's house came into view.]
[Sayaka's home was there, all right - But right next to it was something that looked like a gigantic amusement park pool, and some of the sliders were actually curling all around the house!]
...Wheee! So it was true that your family won the lotto, Sayaka?
[Kyoko said eventually, while Mami just stared at the gigantic structure and sweatdropped. What the heck were Sayaka's parents thinking of, anyway?]
