This was a new sort of adventure, but it wasn't a terrible one. Not when he had Alto by the hand and their goal was within sight.

They'd make it. Brera knew they'd made it. Except...

He had not expected the line. Nor had Alto, from Alto's sudden grumble.

"All this for some fancy lotion?" Brera questioned.

"I guess we should have realized... If even Ranka wanted it, then so would everyone else." Alto sighed. But he didn't tug his hand away from Brera's.

And in the end, they succeeded in getting the lotion--

The wait really wasn't bad either.
