## **Synopsis**

Mikan and the Bear Brigade try to make up excuses for Mikan's Mom, Okaa-san, in order for Mikan to stay longer at their Club's Karaoke After Party.

## **Plot**

The episode starts off with Mikan and Kajii singing *Tomatoe's Puree*. After the two finish singing, Mikan looks at her watch and remembers that Okaa-san requested her to call her if she'll stay out late. After remembering this, Mikan goes to the Front Desk and calls Okaa-san, only for Mikan to be yelled at by her and told to come home immediately. After the call, Mikan goes back to the Karaoke Room all gloomy which makes the Bear Brigade know that there's a problem with her parents about the party.

Mikan says that the situation's really bad and imitates what Okaa-san told her during the call, which scares the Bear Brigade members. Rio brings up the idea of calling Okaa-san in attempt to reassure her that her precious Mikan is in good hands, Mikan laughs this idea off saying it'd never work out. Kajii brings up the idea of telling Okaa-san that her bike was stolen, so that's why she came home so late. Mikan does the same thing as she did with Rio, she laughed the idea off and told her that she'd be 100x more angrier if she did say that.

Suddenly, Rio gets an idea about someone pretending to have been dumped by their imaginary boyfriend, which will then give Mikan the excuse that she was too busy comforting her friend that time passed by. Mikan laughs the idea off and asks which one of them would actually pretend to be dumped by an imaginary boyfriend. Everyone goes silent after words. Kajii then brings up and idea where Mikan can pretend she fell in a river, but all the members disagree the idea, telling her that Mikan is not an Elementary schooler anymore.

Mikan then says that no matter what kind of excuse they come up with, Okaa-san will be angry in the end. Kajii then out of nowhere brings up the idea of her shoe falling in the river, which results in everyone disagreeing again. Afterwards, Rio brings up the amazing idea of sneaking back into the house while the parents fell asleep. As Mikan hears this idea, she imagines a happy Okaa-san in the morning, telling her it's OK that she was out late. Rio then tells Mikan, it'd be better to stay longer and have fun and worry afterwards, which Mikan agrees to and the Club sings *The Yellow Pandas*.

During the song, the scene cuts to an angry Okaa-san being awake in the dark apartment. She looks and uses various tools, in order to find what tool would be the best to hit Mikan with. She decides that a clothes hanger would be the perfect tool and awaits for Mikan's return at the front door.

The scene cuts to Mikan rushing back home on her bike as fast and possible. Mikan goes in front of her apartment's door and notices the lights are off, which reassure her. She gently opens the door and turns on the light, only to be scared by Okaa-san. Okaa-san then hits Mikan with the hanger, but Mikan catches it. The two stand still for a while until Okaa-san mumbles to herself and walks away. Mikan, by the front door, confused by the clothes hanger, doesn't know what to do.

The episode ends with Okaa-san showing her that the next time she comes home late, there won't be a clothes hanger, but rather a big wooden mallet.
