The front door to the Sakamoto residence closed, followed by the many footsteps of Solus and Co. walking off. As the footsteps became fainter until fully disappearing, Lola pushed herself off the floor with her kitsune tails before reaching onto the kitchen countertop and pulling herself onto it. She crawled to the sink while Kusana floated over to her small metal bucket in her hands.

"Ok, the note Lumi left stated if he's ever not up after nine then we need to use a bucket filled with cold water on him," Lola stated as Kusana placed the bucket in the sink. The two sat on the sides of the sink with Kusana grabbing the blue mana crystal and twisting it, causing a blue mana ring to form above the bucket. After putting some mana into the ice mana crystal, the duo watched as cold water began to rise from only inside the bucket.

Kusana cut off her mana from the sink, stopping the water level at around halfway, and picked the metal bucket out of the sink. Lola glanced at the sticky note and read aloud, "Then dunk it on him... what does that mean?". Kusana shrugged, leaving the two to ponder what the note was asking of them.

"Well, Kusana believes pouring water on him won't surface in waking up the prince," Kusana explained as she held the water bucket like a teddy bear between her legs. Lola solemnly nodded in agreement before abruptly jolting on the spot as an idea occurred to her.

"Oh, I know. She wants us to drop the bucket on his head, like how Angel Cat is woken up in Candy Catz!" Lola exclaimed, a boastful enthusiasm oozing from her mannerisms and words. Kusana nodded her head whilst already holding the water bucket over the edge of the countertop. She let go of the water bucket without a second thought and plummeted to the floor.

A metalic clank echoed from below, catching the attention of the duo as Lumios didn't make a sound. The two shuddered at the thought they might've killed Lumios before slowly poking their head over the side of the countertop. The duo sighed in relief as one of Lumios' miruku tendrils lifted the water bucket by its base and up to their faces.

"Fascinating, the power of sticky notes is nothing to scoff at," Lumios remarked before having his miruku tendril swing the bucket downwards and flinging the water out of it. The water collided with the two kids, drenching them in freezing water, and making them spring off the countertop in a frenzy.
