:  ...

:  She's taking forever...

:  I can't take it anymore!!  She's a hour late and not even answering her phone!!  What's she even doing!?
:  Stay calm, Sayaka-chan!!

:  'Sigh...'  Just leave first if you feel impatient.
Noe keep your distance
:  Kyouko can find us somehow.

:  We already waited for her for this long.  No way we can stop now!
:  I won't settle down until I give her an earful for this!
Oh really
:  We haven't planned to abandon her in the first place...
:  Right

---4---

Miki-san has been rather feisty lately...
Feisty?

:  Yo
:  Ah, good morning Kyouko-chan---
: Good morning
:  Morning girls

:  And... that one over there..

So slow...
That one ->
:  Is that my fault?
:  Em, probably?
Scary
:  No, definitely.

---5---

:  Well... let's get moving.
:  No reason to waste more time...

:  But Kyouko...

:  Is right here!!
Acting so carefree!
:  Yo
:  Go to hell!!

:  Seriously! Being late is one thing, but you didn't even text us anything!!
:  Hey, why aren't you answering my calls!?  I tried so many times!

:  ...
That phone purchase was a waste...
:  Sigh, forget it.

---6---

:  More importantly, Miss Kyouko.
:  When did we agree to meet up at?
:  Ten... Ten-ish...
:  And what time is it?
:  ... Eleven?

:  It's 11:30!! 11:30 already!!
That's not a little mistake!!
:  Do you see that long hand!
:  Look at it!!

:  Forget it.  Does it really matter?  Didn't we plan for Kyouko to be late from the beginning?

:  Statistics says Kyouko will be late 100% of the times.
:  She always was.
Hehe
:  Have some remorse!

---7---

:  Sayaka-chan, do you join a lot of sweepstakes?

:  Not really, I just try online ones every once a while.
:  I got lucky and actually won...

:  I been wanting to watch this movie!  A romance between a man with Yakuza past and his star-crossed lover (etc)
:  And this is the director's cut premiere too...  Thank you, Miki-san and your good fortune!
:  No.. no problem...

:  Well, hand out the tickets already, so we don't have to rush about at ticketing...

:  Oh-- okay, okay
:  Well-- the ticket is a gift card, so you don't need to split it...

:  ... Ehh?

:  Ehh?

---8---

:  ... Don't tell me you forgot?
Kyouko syndrome?
:  Hey..  Hold on!


:  AAAAAhh!? I left it in my wallet originally.. Then I move it to purse for safekeeping...
:  Ah.. But it felt awkward there, so I moved it to my binder...
:  And then...
: ...

:  ... I
Panicking...
:  I'll go back and get it!
:  You won't make it.  It's starting soon...

:  Where's Mami and Homura?
:  Eh... Restroom?

:  ... I see.

---9---

:  W-well!  There's plenty of other places we can visit around here... maybe a game center?
:  ... Nobody is blaming you for it, Sayaka-chan.

:  Really..?  Homura lectured me quite a bit hard...
Honestly...  And you're just complaining about Kyouko...
N-no big deal.  Don't worry about it.
:  And you can just see the disappointment on Mami-san's face.
:  ...

:  Sigh--- Really--- What was I doing...
:  Went and invite everyone, yet can't even remember to bring the tickets.

:  ... Sayaka-chan

: !?

:  OUCH...

:  What...
:  Was that for!

---10---

: Can't we just hang out here instead
:  And have a snow fight or something?
Fufu~

:  Don't go and decide everything by yourself!
:  I don't have any money on me, so no gaming center for me.
:  Isn't a snow fight just fine?
Come on

:  Not like we have a free movie to watch anymore--
:  .... Okay...
:  FINE

:  Wait... Hey!! That's against the rules!! That'll really hurt!!
:  Who cares!! Didn't you snuck one on me just now!!

: ... What happened here?
:  Ah... Well... Kyouko-chan... wants to get Sayaka-chan's mind off things, probably...
Probably?
:  ... That's difficult to believe, watching this...

---11---

:  Hey, you guys!  Quit dazing off!
Over here-
:  Madoka and Homura are on Team Sayaka!
:  What now!?
:  Hey, don't decide the teams on your own!

---12---

It's eatable?
Taste like icee...
HEY!?

---13---

Keep it up~~
Shut up and help

Go on
Hey...

---14---

:  Ah-... It got cold all the sudden.
:  But surprisingly warm inside.
:  Well, snow is a good insulator.
:  And we have such a think layer too...

:  You learned that from Mami-san just now, right?
Too bad-
Yeah
:  Busted

:  Isn't it great-... Having so much snow...
:  Oh?

:  We just hanging out in a park in the end. I'm really sorry--
:  Let's talk about something, I'll start.
Since we're inside an igloo...

---15---

:  Hehe, playing a bit is fine...
: To be honest, I don't really enjoy... the snow...

:  Eh?
:  What?  But just now..
:  You're really into it...

:  Like I said, a bit is fine?
:  ... Given that we don't have any money...
:  And it's cold...
:  And what you're wearing don't look very warm.

:  ... Not just the snow...
:  A night like this... This mood... can be..

:  Mood?

:  ... The city...

---16---

:  The city... can be.. so glamorous..
:  It's rowdy... restless..

:  How should I say... make it hard to stay calm..

:  ...
:  That's why...


:  Em... That's why...
:  It's hard to... what is it..
:  Hard to explain

:  ..

:  Is a milk-tea okay for Kyouko-chan?
:  She should be fine with a little sugar.

---17---

:  Why are you always treating her?

:  If you give in every time she claps her hands and begs
:  "Pretty please-!!"  ... At this rate...

:  it's only a soft drink...

:  Oh...


:  Ah!!

:  Oh...
:  It's hard to handle.. yea

---18---

:  Oh?  What is this...
:  Feels like an interrogation...

:  Oh, nothing..  It's relaly nothing in particular.
:  What?

:  Because... if you think about it
:  In a situation like this, it's only natural we feel...

:  Eh?
:  What's that?

---19---

:  Wah!

---20---

:  ...

:  Ah..
:  S-sorry!
:  I tripped!  It's all my fault!  Ah!  I was careless..

Haahaha
Hahaha

:  Eh?  What happened?
:  Eh?

:  You okay?
:  Yeah, I'm fine.

:  Sayaka?
:  No worries.

---21---

:  Oh?
:  Ah.. Sorry.  What... were you saying?

---22---

:  This season.

:  Ah.. No..
