*Hiyoko and Mika are getting chewed out by Mika's mother, Colleen Alester because they reached the coffee shop at 2:45 when they were supposed to be there at 2*
Colleen: ... Now because of you, I'm late for my meeting.
Mika: Sorry, Mom.
Colleen: DON'T "SORRY, MOM" ME!!! WATCH. THE. SHOP. N O W. Oh Hiyoko, I didn't realize you were here! Please watch the shop with Mika while I'm gone.
*Colleen left*
*The girls are working at the counter talking to each other*
Mika: Did you hear her? "Please watch the shop with Mika while I'm gone."
*Mika was annoyed, so she mocked her mother. Hiyoko just smiled.*
Mika: Like, I've confirmed that she likes you more than me.
Hiyoko: Pfft, no... I'm a guest, you're her daughter there is a difference.
Mika: Hiyoko, we've known each other for like, ever. Don't give me that crap.
Hiyoko: Hmm... true... Maybe you're right.
*At 4:30*
Colleen: My meeting ended early! Thanks for watching the shop, girls!
Hiyoko: No problem, Colleen.
Colleen: Ah, that reminded me, *She dug through her purse and pulled out an envelope*, here!
*Colleen handed the envelope to Hiyoko*
Hiyoko: Thanks!
Mika: Mom, are you-
Colleen: No, you're my daughter. Your money goes into your clothes and food...
*Colleen looked at Mika*
Colleen: NAH I'M KIDDING *She pulled out another envelope*
Mika: I wasn't being serious.. but I'll take it anyways.
*Scene change to Mika's bedroom, the current time is 5:00*
Hiyoko, *looking at a gaming console*: Oh how I missed you-
Mika, *sitting on her bed, looking at Hiyoko*: You played that last week...
Hiyoko, *Sitting to play a game, it's a two-player racing game* She holds one controller and holds the other out to Mika*: You're still salty because you lost last time.
*Mika took the controller, looked at it, then looked at the screen and smiled.*
Mika, *sitting down*: Damn right I am... Imma beat you this time.
*After many rounds of the game, Mika still lost. Time is now 5:20*
Hiyoko: What time did Kris say he'd pick us up?
Mika: I think 6, right?
Hiyoko: Nah, He definitely said some 5 o'clock time.
*Mika looked through her messages*
Mika: ... he didn't message me the time...
Hiyoko: Ah, it was 5:30
Mika: WHAT? I HAVE TO GET READY HE CAN'T SEE ME IN THIS.
Hiyoko: Relax, we're going bowling, not to a party... besides, he's your boyfriend...
