[Welcome to the Emporium, an arcade bar that Minako and Sakura have decided to host their joint birthday party at! Come on in and have some fun playing games, eating junk food, and just hanging out with the birthday girls (and guy, if he decides to come).
There are, of course, the numerous arcade games that the place is known for, ranging from the old school 2v2 fighters to the shooting gallery kinds. But there are a smattering of other games as well, like DDR, darts, mini hoops, skeeball, and the pool table, too. There's also a wall of crane games in the back, with plenty of random and mostly cute prizes to win.
Make a stop by the purikura booth if you have time. Make some duck lips at the camera and then take the snaps home! (Or give them to the birthday girls for the memories.)
Oh, and be sure to exchange your money for tokens before you play all these games. The token machine seems kind of finicky, though. Maybe a strong (and hopefully discrete?) kick will help jumpstart it.
Walk to the dining area, and there'll be a feast waiting you! The arcade is providing a ton of pizza and wings, as well as alcohol, if you can show your ID. For dessert, there's the cake that Shuji made for the girls, as well as Minako's lemon tea cakes. Those are limited supply, though, so snag one before everyone eats it up.
Next to the dining area, there's a big sign that says "DUNK TANK OUTSIDE". Maybe take a look? Just be reaaaally sure you want to climb in before you do it, though. The towels provided by the arcade are pretty small.
And finally, if you need a break from the chaos, there's a couple of couches on the second floor. Take a load off and watch from above.]

[She takes in a deep breath and nods.]
I will. And...thank you for listening, Elizabeth. Let's enjoy the party now.
no subject
[ ... ]
But first, your gift. [ To make up for the sad conversation, as promised. It's a small box, and when Minako opens it—
she'll find a pair of earrings. Yes, they're shaped like firefly wings, to commemorate how their friendship began. Elizabeth is only a little sentimental. ]
no subject
Oh, Elizabeth. These are beautiful. [She admires them for a moment, and then pulls her earrings out so she can wear the firefly ones.] How do I look?
no subject
You're just as beautiful as them, just as I imagined you would be... Truly, I'm glad you like them, Minako. I wanted to commemorate our friendship somehow, and when I saw them, I knew they'd be just the thing. [ Minako's one of her first real friends, after all. Someone she trusts a lot, who trusts her a lot... ] Thank you for the wonderful time. I hope that we can continue to be friends for a long while yet as well... though I admit, it feels a little silly to say so when we haven't even known each other a year.
[ But that's Retrospec, she supposes. Misery loves company, and trouble breeds closeness. ]
no subject
I don't think it's silly. The strength of the connection is so much more meaningful than the duration of it...and I'd say we're doing pretty well on both counts, right?
Thank you, Elizabeth.
[She brings her in for a tight hug.]
no subject
We are. [ ...Elizabeth's glad she's made her so happy, her heart is warm and fluttery with it. ] Now... You wished to party, yes? Let's dance the night away—or, well, at least until someone wishes to steal you away for this or that.
[ She draws away just a little, guiding her up. Dance, dance...~ ]
