THE HOME TEAM:


KASUMI: "The aquarium was SO much fun!"


SHIZUKU: "I know! I can't believe I got to shake hands with an otter!"


RINA: "The pengins were cute."



KASUMI: "PengUins, Rinako. They weren't as cute as me, but they were still pretty cute!"



RINA: "The pengins were cuter."


SHIZUKU: "Definitely the penguins."



KASUMI: "Uh, penguins can't sing or dance, can they?!"


SHIZUKU: "Only in movies. But penguins are cute and that's that!"


KASUMI: "W-Well, yeah, I guess... *Ahem* In any case, that was fun. Your idea was exceptional, Rinako."


RINA: "Nuh-uh. The pengins were. They're cute, and that makes them exceptional."



KASUMI: "By that logic, I'm ALSO exceptional because I'm cute too!"


SHIZUKU: "Are we really back to this again?"



KASUMI: "Well, I AM a school idol, so nothing can EVER out-cute me!"


SHIZUKU: "Yes, yes, of course..."



KASUMI: "Oh, but I don't mean to say you two aren't cute!"


SHIZUKU: "I don't think either of us really care..."



KASUMI: "Huh? But doesn't it make you happy when someone says you're cute?"


SHIZUKU: "Um... I mean, I guess?"



KASUMI: "Right?! So both you and Rinako are adorable! Penguins and otters might not be school idols, but they're cute too! However, I'm just the cutest of them all!"


SHIZUKU: "All right, then let's just leave it at that."



KASUMI: "I bet you're totally thinking I'm a pain to deal with, huh?"


SHIZUKU: "No?"



KASUMI: "You sure? You SURE you're sure? You sure you're sure you're sure, Shizuko?"


SHIZUKU: "Yes, I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure. But this conversation right now is becoming a pain."


KASUMI: "Grr..."



RINA: "Okay, okay. That's enough, you two. What should we do next?"


SHIZUKU: "Oh, there IS somewhere I've been wanting to go."



KASUMI: "Oh? Where? And don't say to see a play!"


SHIZUKU: "Don't worry. It's an anime shop!"


RINA: "That place that Setsuna was talking about?"


SHIZUKU: "Yes! I've been curious ever since she described it as a dreamy wonderland, but I couldn't find the courage to go on my own. But now you two are with me so we can all go!"



KASUMI: "Yeah, let's go!"


RINA: "Rina-chan Board says, 'Woo-hoo! Exciting!'"


SHIZUKU: "Oh my goodness, really? Thank you!"


KASUMI: "Let's go, let's go! To the wonderland of dreams!"


RINA: "Woo!"


...



SHIZUKU: "Phew, that was a lot to take in."


RINA: "There were all kinds of anime, games, manga and books."


KASUMI: "That was definitely an experience...though I'd be lying if I said there wasn't anything that caught my eye. I think I'll ask Setsuna about it all later."


SHIZUKU: "Like what?"



KASUMI: "Well, remember that anime Setsuna asked Senpai to record? They had the light novel for it in there. It had a really nice cover, so I kinda wanted to give it a read."


SHIZUKU: "Oh! I had my eye on that too!"


RINA: "Me too."


KASUMI: "It's always nice to explore a new world, huh? I've got so much to ask Setsuna about next week!"


SHIZUKU: 'It's amazing how much Setsuna seems to know about everything..."



RINA: "Hmm? Oh! It's Nico."


KASUMI: "The Queen Dunce herself?"


RINA: "You're one too, remember?"


KASUMI: "Wah!"


SHIZUKU: "Hanayo and Rin are with her. Is it just the three of them out today?"


KASUMI: "Well, isn't this a fun little coincidence? I wonder what they're doing here? I've gotta find out!"


RINA: "Wanna call out to them?"



SHIZUKU: "Are you sure it's a good idea to randomly go up to them like that?"


KASUMI: "Then let's tail 'em!"


RINA: "You don't have a filter on those wild suggestions, do you?"


KASUMI: "I thought something like this might happen, so I bought these! Tada! Disguises!"


RINA: "When did you even...?"


KASUMI: *Giggle* "I bought them at the shop we just went to. I thought we could use them on stage or something."



SHIZUKU: "Did you really think we'd ever use these...?"


KASUMI: "Oh, so you're not coming with? What if they're all hiding some kind of crazy secret or something?"


SHIZUKU: "Are we really going to do this?"


KASUMI: "Oh you're such a goody-two-shoes! Less thinking, more moving! Let's go!"


RINA: "Commence operations!"


KASUMI: "Yeah!"


SHIZUKU: *Sigh*


KASUMI: "Oh, but first we need some kind of secret team name. That way we'll be more official!"


SHIZUKU: "At a time like this?"


RINA: "How about, the three pengins?"



KASUMI: "It's PengUins! And no way, that doesn't sound cool."


SHIZUKU: "But it sounds cute, right?"


KASUMI: "There's a time and a place for cuteness. If I wanted to look cute, I wouldn't be wearing those masks!"


SHIZUKU: "Then how about...The Three Musketeers!"


KASUMI: "Nope, they were guys. I have the perfect name for us!"


SHIZUKU: "Fine, what is it?"


KASUMI: "Well, we're having fun without having to worry about school, right?"


RINA: "Right."


KASUMI: "And we're tailing Nico, Hanayo and Rin."


SHIZUKU: "Are we? They'll be far away before you're done explaining things."


KASUMI: "U-Uh...Th-That makes us the After-School Navigators!"


SHIZUKU: "Sure, whatever..."


RINA: "Rina-chan Board says 'Mask on'."
