[The motion of Asuka walking is a little strange to get used to from this angle. It doesn't jar her out of the pocket, though.

As they travel through the restaurant, Natsuru spots something.]

Oh! That's it over there!

[There's a table with a single place setting. But no Maizono in sight.]

[parkvoyeur]

[ Asuka walks over to the mentioned table, and looks around from there. ]

Sayaka-chan isn't back yet? She didn't shrink too, did she?

[thirdbeauty]

No, she's still normal! She didn't even get the same kind of box...

[Maybe she went to look for her? But where would she have gone?]

[parkvoyeur]

Oh, right, it depends on the box, huh?

[ Hmm... ]

Let's check the bathroom.

[thirdbeauty]

[Oh, that's a good place to start! Natsuru nods. And then, realizing Asuka might not have been looking, answers out loud.]

Sure!

[parkvoyeur]

Okay, I'm moving again.

[ Better warn her, she doesn't want to risk Natsuru falling out of her pocket, it might kill her. ]

[thirdbeauty]

[Yes, Asuka is towering compared to her right now, and the floors are not soft. Best not risk that happening.]

Alright. I'm ready!

[Bracing herself to move again, she keeps an eye out for Maizono anywhere nearby. Just in case.]

[parkvoyeur]

[ And they're moving again. She opens the door and steps right in. Now, how many stalls are free here? ]

Sayaka-chan?

[thirdbeauty]

[There are a few closed doors Natsuru can see. No response (yet) from Maizono, though.]

I don't think she's here...

[Suddenly, there's a sound from one of the stalls and Natsuru jumps. Not a good idea, since she's all curled up in Asuka's pocket.]

Ah-?!!!

[Yep, she's slipped out. But she manages to catch the edge of the pocket, so she's... basically hanging from Asuka's chest now.]

[parkvoyeur]

[ When Natsuru jumps and falls out of her pocket, Asuka thinks she's doomed. ]

Holy shit!

[ God, she's hanging on for dear life, luckily, and Asuka picks her up and cradles her in her hands instead. ]

Okaaaay, so maybe I should keep holding you instead.

[thirdbeauty]

[Phew! She's saved again...]

Y-Yeah... sure...

[Asuka can easily wrap one hand around Natsuru if she needs a hand free for anything, so maybe that'll work out better.]

Sorry...

[She doesn't want to be an inconvenience here.]

[parkvoyeur]

[ She'll do just that. ]

It's okay. The landlord was the one who turned you tiny.

[thirdbeauty]

Yeah, but we should have been more careful...

[It's weird how comforting it is to have someone she trusts carrying her like this. Better than being left to her own devices at this size, she guesses.]

[parkvoyeur]

Maybe. But it's almost christmas, of course you'd want to go out and do things anyway.

[thirdbeauty]

Yeah, we had this date planned all month! And we had to go shopping for clothes and stuff when this happened. We've even been planning for Kyoko-chan's birthday too...

[parkvoyeur]

Then you definitely shouldn't let this stop you. Even if there's some bumps in the road. I guess the bumps are pretty big for you right now, huh.

[thirdbeauty]

Ahaha, yeah.

I can't do much by myself like this, but I guess if I have you and Sayaka to help... I'll keep trying, at least!

[Just casually putting her best friend on the same level as her wife, no big deal. Not like they're slowly assimilating her into the relationship or anything.]

[parkvoyeur]

Good. You can't give up.

[ Asuka doesn't even notice. ]

[thirdbeauty]

So...

[Her tiny hands settle on Asuka's finger, where her friend's hand is wrapped around her waist.]

Do you see anything? I don't think she's in here.

[parkvoyeur]

I don't think so either. Does she know the staff? Maybe she's in the kitchen or something.

[thirdbeauty]

Maybe?

If she went to look for me, she could be anywhere...

[parkvoyeur]

Okay, we'll look everywhere in this place for her. Hang on.

[ She walks out of the bathrooms to help her look. ]

[guiltydulcinea]

[ And as luck would have it, Asuka's going to notice a flash of dark blue from the patio itself...

As it so happened, Maizono had gotten up for a few moments to walk around and collect her thoughts on what else to do with Natsuru given her size, but by the time she returned she was nowhere to be found - which resulted in her looking through all of the out of the way spots first, considering that Natsuru tended to get into more trouble than she expected, whether or not she realized it...

Asuka's going to notice her underneath one of the tables, trying to find her tiny waifu - best let her know that Natsuru's okay... ]

[parkvoyeur]

Ah...!

[ That's her hair colour, so it might be her. She holds Natsuru in only one hand so she can keep herself more steady as she crouches down by the table. ]

Found you.

[thirdbeauty]

[Oh, there she is! Natsuru waves to get Maizono's attention.]

Sayaka! I'm over here! Asuka-chan helped me.
