1 DAY BEFORE GRAND OPENING

"Okay Usagi...Which one of these silverware is a steak knife?" A boy said to himself, leaning over one of the many clothed tables. He groaned and picked one randomly, nodding to himself. "This looks like it could kill me. I hereby dub thee as...steak knife!" Usagi put the rest of the silverware in what he hoped was the right order.

"That's good, because remember what I told you before you got there. If I hear that things aren't going well over there in New York, I'm sending for you immediately. Understand?"
