2	A character (usually a child) needs to make money and fast, and one of the easiest ways they can do it is by selling lemonade. There are several ways this plot can work out. One of the most common is if another character is also running a lemonade stand, and the two get into a competition with each other. If the two characters are normally friends with each other, it may result in a FeudEpisode. Another way it can play out is if the character has little or no experience in making lemonade, and the lemonade tastes terrible as a result. Sometimes the "lemonade" [[ToiletHumor is actually pee]], often leading to [[IAteWhat horrified reactions from the customers if they drink it and find out too late what it is]]. Yet another way this plot can happen is if the character running the stand runs afoul of the law, who consider the stand to be violating vending, health inspection, taxation, or child labor laws, which will result in the character either having to find a way to get a permit or sign the relevant forms, or, more likely, being forced to give up their stand. Can be a GetRichQuickScheme.

Unfortunately, her first outing in running her lemonade stand goes poorly because, while she gets the basics of mixing lemons with water correct, she forgets to add the sugar; Lee is the only one who can drink the concoction with no issue, whereas Suigetsu and Jugo take one mouthful and spew it right back out a second later. Luckily, the boys help Hanabi to come up with a better product--a lemon-grass drink sweetened with honey (which Hanabi thinks will go over well with customers going organic).
