Hey, Nico? How long am I supposed to keep stirring this for anyway?

A whooole lot longer. You've gotta keep at it until it forms peaks.

Oh my god… Making meringue is a serious pain.

C'mon, quit your whining. Don't you want to make everyone in the School Idol Club happy?

No, not really.

Geez, you're so stubborn!

Am not!

Sure, whatever you say. You just have to hang in there for a little bit longer. Once you've got the meringue done properly, the rest is easy!

*Groan* My arm's tired… Nico, help me out.

Fiiine, guess I'll have to. But only a little, okay? Here, watch how I stir it.

Hm… I hate to admit it, but your technique's way different than mine.

Well, naturally! I am Nico, after all!

Still, making sweets isn't about being good or bad at it. What's really important are your feelings!

Seriously?

Yep! Feelings of gratitude make sweets taste that much better, you know.

Gratitude, huh…

So you have to be sure to put plenty in!

…Here, give it back. I'll do it.

Thanks, Nico.

*Giggle* You're welcome!
