The four girls rush into Madotsuki's apartment; though, Monoe is first, as always.

"Haha!" she taunts, slipping her bag off to her forearms and kicking off her school shoes by the door.

Poniko, panting in tow, drags herself into the apartment alongside the elder Monochrome sister.

"You begin late," the blonde shoots, leaning against the wall by her arm and hooking her pointer beneath the back of her shoes.

Madotsuki waltzes in, trying to quell her heaving breath to appear she wasn't participating, though the heavy beads of sweat pouring down her face and onto her cotton sweater betray that notion.

"Yeah!" Monoko chimes in, the last one in the place, face flushed with red. "You're already halfway down the sidewalk when you say it's a race!"

Monoe giggles, lifting up her littler sister's black backpack up and off of her body. "Well maybe if you didn't have such little baby legs you could catch up, 'noko."

Monoko huffs, taking an offered napkin from a nearby Madotsuki and dabbing it on her forehead.

"I'll beat you one day," she promises, which is replied with a playful noogie to her head.

"Yeah, when pigs fly, silly."

Poniko shuts and locks the door behind them all, hooking her messenger bag up on the hooks of the wall, next to Madotsuki's bag. Poniko lays Madotsuki's stray hairs down while she watches the sisters bicker.
