How the heck did I, of all people, forget about hot apple cider?!

Hot apple cider?

Yeah. It's an absolute must-have in my house for Thanksgiving. I wonder if I can make some.

We'll try. Let's go buy the ingredients for it.

Are you sure?

We should definitely make some tasty, hot apple cider. Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”

Thanks, Rina. Is it all right if I dash out for some groceries, guys?

Of course! I wanna drink some cider too!

Leave everything to us in the meantime!

Do you want me to come too? Just in case you end up with lots of bags.

Thanks. I don't think they'll be too heavy, though, so two people should be enough.

Okay! Then take care, you two.

[Fade in/out.]

I'm glad that we got everything we needed. Thanks for coming with me.

No problem. It was fun getting to go for an outing with you.

Hey, Mia… Does it ever get lonely not being able to see your family?

Not really. I have my video games, and nowadays we have the Internet. I don't really have a chance to miss them.

And of course, I can always play games online with you.

I'm happy to hear that.

I was on my own a lot before joining the School Idol Club, and it was pretty lonely. But now I'm not lonely at all.

Then I guess that's one more thing we have in common.

Yeah! Rina-chan Board says, “All smiles.”

We should all take packed lunches to the park and hunt for some nice autumn leaves together sometime.

Hunt for…leaves?

Um, I didn't mean it literally. I meant we should sit and enjoy the autumnal colors.

We're not going to ravage the leaves with pitchforks or anything. Don't worry.

I see. Speaking in another language means I get tripped up sometimes…like with the ball drop earlier.

If there's ever anything that you don't understand, you can always ask me. I want to help you out, even with the little things.

Thanks. In that case, you can help me make the juice as soon as we get back.

I'll take care of it. Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”
