But he collides with Mikan, whom just left the shower and is naked, resulting in a embarassing situation as usual. The girl then appear using the word "Mau" and asks what they are doing.

Celine suddenly arrives telling she want all three of them to sleep together to commemorate her growth. Rito and Mikan accept and, when Celine finally falls asleep, Rito returns to his bed but Mikan stops him and says they can sleep together in her bed because its a special day. Behind the door, Momo listened all about it and she admit there is no room for her to interfere while they getting along.
