## **Synopsis**

## **Plot**

The episode starts off with Mikan reading a history book out loud to her class and when she's done reading, she notices that her history teacher, Mr. Murakami is daydreaming. She calls out to him, making him come back into his senses and he continues on teaching his class until he accidentally says the word honeymoon in both English and Japanese to his class and asks the class why the word is spelled the way it is in Japanese, which makes the whole class laugh.

Later Mikan and Shimi-chan go to the teachers lounge to ask Mr. Murakami a question but they catch him cleaning his own Bento, which makes the two both run back to their class. The two realize that Mr. Murakami is a newlywed and the two make jokes about how his wife is scolding him because the leftover rice get stuck on to the Bento, which makes it hard to wash off.

When Mikan is home, she tells Okaa-san about what happened today, but Okaa-san gets mad three times during her explanation because Mikan addressed her Teacher informally by putting a -chan at the end of his name, she mentioned the word Bento, and for talking rudely about her teacher. Okaa-san also mentions that Mikan should fix that attitude of hers, which upsets Mikan since she was just trying to tell Okaa-san a funny story.

Right before sleeping, Mikan is still mad that Okaa-san got mad at her for just trying to tell a funny story. She falls and sleep and has nightmare, where she is seen arguing with Okaa-san and during the arguement, Mikan pushes Okaa-san onto the corner of a table, which results in Okaa-san dying in the nightmare. Mikan suddenly wakes up from the nightmare and heads to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

In the Kitchen, Okaa-san is making breakfast for the family and she notices that Mikan is crying and she asks Mikan why she is crying. Mikan replies that she had a nightmare where she accidentally killed her. Okaa-san tells Mikan to forget about it, since it's all just a dream after all. However, Okaa-san starts laughing and begins talking about how dreams are connected with the reality, and because of Mikan's rude attitude towards her, she is dreaming about things like that. This upsets Mikan.

The episode ends with Mikan rolling on the floor, saying things like how she shouldn't have said any of that to Okaa-san.
