## Plot

The episode starts where episode 1 left off, where a large crash is heard near the Yumeirogaoka Park, as a mysterious girl on a motorbike rides in. Her eyes are obscured by her helmet, as she rubs her head a bit, talking about how much that crash hurt. She shakes out her hair from underneath her helmet, and then takes it off. She covers her eyes as the sun shines almost directly into them, and then wonders where she is. She then exclaims that where she is isn't City, and jumps off from her bike, frantically looking around. She puts her helmet back on as she talks about how she was just in City a while ago, wondering how she could have possibly ended up in Yumeirogaoka.

Trixie is on her way to the mall as she hears the crash, remarking that it didn't sound good and she should check what happened.

The same girl from earlier is sitting down on a patch of grass, sighing as she continues to wonder where she is. Due to the racing suit and helmet she's wearing, she ends up standing out quite a lot, but she doesn't seem to realize this.

Trixie walks up to her, asking her if she's okay, what happened, and if she wanted to come to the mall with her, remarking that maybe she could find this girl a cuter outfit. Trixie then apologizes for that remark as Akari runs towards the two girls. She greets Trixie before asking what happened to the mysterious girl, wondering if she was hurt.

She's a bit overwhelmed by their question, before saying she doesn't know in a somewhat rough tone and accent. She then says she wouldn't mind in response to Trixie's offer. She has a bit of a freakout within her mind before asking the girls where exactly she is, before added that she thinks she might've hit her head as to not raise suspicions.

Akari and Trixie help her up, as Akari then asks who she is. The girl points to herself, somewhat confused before gathering that Akari is asking for her name, to which she responds simply, saying her name is Yua.

Trixie says that Yua is in her and Akari's home city, offering that they can show her around if she isn't from here.

What Yua gathers from this is that she's somehow still in her home, City, and then asks why it looks so different, before thinking about how she doesn't recognize Akari and Trixie, despite her knowing most of the 'Commons'. She then thinks that they might be 'Tops', but quickly shakes that thought off because of their attire.

Trixie simply responds by saying that, no, the city Yua is in now is actually a city called Yumeirogaoka, not the City Yua was referring to. She then welcomes Yua to the city, before introducing herself and asking Yua for her name.

Yua sounds out the city's name rather slowly, struggling to pronounce it because it's rather long and she isn't the brightest. She seems overjoyed at how easy Trixie's name is to pronounce in comparison, before she introduces herself. Trixie says that Yua is a nice name in response, then offering that they should go to the mall.

Yua responds in confusion, in her thoughts saying how she's heard of a mall before, but doesn't exactly know what it is. Trixie jokes about Yua not knowing what the mall is, saying that she's just kidding and only 'silly geese' wouldn't know. She gestures towards the department store down the street, saying they can get clothes there, but they should go to the mall first because it's fun.

Yua says that she'll go if it's fun, not noticing that she hasn't yet taken off her helmet. Trixie says that she should probably take it off, remarking that the mall cops might think she's a robber. Yua responds with "There's cops at the mall?", before removing her helmet, resting it between her arms to reveal her hair and eyes.

Trixie says that they should go now, while Yua somewhat nervously responds okay, putting her helmet back on as she gets on her motorbike, or Sync Runner to be specific. Trixie waves, as Akari watches. She then introduces herself, before quickly running off to follow Trixie.

Yua rides on her Sync Runner at a decently high speed, having trouble figuring out where she should go. She eventually manages to get there through pure luck, jumping off her Runner and staring at the mall in awe of how big it is. She slaps her cheeks to refocus herself as she steps in, Akari then following close behind before dashing off to the cosmetics store.

Yua follows Akari as she's very overwhelmed by how crowded the mall is. Akari looks at some makeup, her eyes sparkling in delight as she realizes that there's a sale going on. Yua watches her, confused on what all that stuff is even for. Akari then goes to various shelves, picking up a variety of makeup products, putting them all into a shopping back as she noticed a sign pointing out that the store is offering ¥1,000 makeovers, or about $10. She then notices Yua close by, saying that what she's looking at is makeup, something that goes on someone's face and makes them look nice.

Akari hands her shopping bag to the cashier, as Yua seems somewhat interested in the idea of makeup, though she doesn't exactly see the point of something like it. She then decides that she wants to try it out, asking the cashier for a makeover before realizing she has no money, quickly retracting her statement in embarrassment. Akari says that's okay, offering to pay for it. After she does so, the girls are lead to an area with mirrors and styling chairs, where two makeup artists greet them. They start doing the girls' makeup, starting with eyeshadow, asking the girls to pick one of three palettes: a palette that has mostly pink tones, a more colorful and bright palette, and one with several blues and whites for a winter aesthetic. Yua thinks about which one she wants to pick, choosing the last one because it reminds her of City, before backtracking and choosing the one with various shades of pink.

The makeup artists apply the palettes to both girls as Yua fidgets, thinking it feels weird. Trixie walks into the makeup store and sees them getting their makeup done, then gives Akari a makeup store gift card. The artists apply glittery eyeliner and mascara to Yua and Akari (who gets just mascara) as Trixie puts the gift card in Akari's bag. Next, the artists ask them what lipstick they'd like, with Yua choosing coral while Akari chooses peach. Trixie compliments their makeup and Akari asks if they could all go clothes shopping afterwards, and says she thinks there might be some hair accessories there. Finally, the makeup artists asks them to choose a blush. As Trixie says she could get a new bag, Akari chooses rose blush while Yua chooses light pink blush. Yua says she doesn't know why she should get new clothes, but Akari guesses it's because Yua's riding clothes don't look like everyday clothes, then says she'll get some new hair accessories and possibly one or two new outfits.

In a sarcastic tone, she says she might even buy the whole store. Yua says she wears her riding clothes pretty often, then, not understanding sarcasm, says buying the whole store isn't possible. Akari giggles and explains sarcasm to Yua, including the tone switch. After the makeover ends, Akari looks at Yua's outfit and says she can't wear the same clothes every day. After tipping the makeup artists, the girls leave.

The three girls then head to the department store to buy clothes. Akari pumps her fist once they arrive, while Yua's first thought is that the store is pretty big. Trixie says that they should go to the clothing section, while Yua agrees reluctantly.

Once they get there, Akari quickly runs off to get new clothes for Yua, while Yua wonders what's wrong with her clothes, wondering if Sync Runners were uncommon in Yumeirogaoka. She decides not to think about it any further, waiting for Akari.

Akari then returns with two shopping bags. She hands one of the bags to Yua. containing a white shirt with a black vertical stripe in the middle, a cream-colored cropped biker jacket, a pink tie that ends in a slant, a maroon tri-pleated skirt that stops 3 inches above the knee, a brown belt with a silver buckle, black thigh highs, pink and white lace-up sneaker boots, and a large, yellow double ribbon. Akari points to nearby dressing rooms, telling Yua that she should try on her new outfit. Yua then looks in the bag, wondering what the clothes are for, to which Akari responds simply that they're new clothes for her, and that she can't be wearing her riding suit all the time. Trixie remarks that the clothes would look great on Yua, while she reluctantly follows Akari, not understanding what's so bad about her clothes getting dirty, as up to this point Yua's spent her whole life in City's slums.

Meanwhile, Wizzy, disguised as Hoshino Michiya, is hiding behind a wall, while wearing an invisibility cloak. She remarks that the Lucky Besties have a new friend, and that she's outnumbered, otherwise she would've sent two minions to attack them. She then gets an idea, using her Change Wand to further disguise herself, this time as a schoolgirl with long, light blue hair with yellow streaks tied into a ponytail, a light blue tiara accessory, and a blue-themed uniform. Tucked inside her bag is her invisibility cloak and Change Wand, as Wizzy then changes her voice and waits for the girls to finish changing.

Akari and Yua reach the changing rooms, as Akari hands her the shopping bag with the clothes.

Yua stammers a bit, nervously asking Akari how exactly she's supposed to be doing this, while Trixie responds, simply saying that she just goes into the changing stall to put on her new outfit, and then show the girls when she's done.

Yua does so, struggling a bit because she's embarassed at how short the skirt is. She looks at the outfit herself for a few moments before stepping out to show Akari and Trixie, averting her eyes while blushing as she holds the end of her skirt.

Akari remarks that she looks great, then tells her to change back into her riding suit. Michiya walks around in her disguise, deciding on the alias "Aoi Izayoi". She runs up to Akari and Trixie, asking if they're shopping for clothes too.

Meanwhile, as Yua changes, she feels a slight shiver down her spine, but notices that no one is creeping up on her. Akari reassures Yua that no one saw her changing, before going to talk to "Aoi". She asks who she is, "Aoi" introducing herself as "Aoi Izayoi, a girl that likes to shop", and then telling Yua that once she finishes changing that she should meet her outside of the shop.

Yua gets out of the changing room and sighs in belief, saying that she would've given whoever was creeping up on her "a good beating". Akari remarks that she would do the same, if she wasn't so weak.

Yua then notices "Aoi" talking to her, quickly rejecting the girl's offer as she doesn't know who she even is. Trixie remarks that no perv would spy on someone in a changing room in such a public space, and then says that "Aoi's" offer sounds suspicious, asking her to leave them alone so they can enjoy their shopping trip.

"Aoi" then says that there's a sale outside for helmets. Once Yua declines again, "Aoi" gets annoyed and goes outside, thinking that what she's doing isn't working.

Once Akari and Trixie both get suspicious, "Aoi" summons a booth for the sale by snapping her fingers. Yua remarks that if her helmet ever broke, she can just rebuild it, adding that she built her Runner by scratch through a whisper. Trixie asks the girls if they're ready to go, while both Akari and Yua confirm that they are.

Outside, "Aoi" summons a second booth that sells Runners. Akari hears the commotion and goes to check outside, while Trixie is still suspicious. Akari then remembers that they still have to pay for their clothes, but gets upset when she realizes she doesn't have enough.

Trixie goes to check out the display, while Yua checks the display out from the store window, growing suspicious of "Aoi".
