Time for the review of Part 2. To be honest, I don't have much to say, since it looks like you really hit your stride in this part. The scenes transition pretty well and the character interaction is fun. The whole thing also flows better than the first part in terms of sentence choice and style.
Thumbs up!
EDIT: I do have to admit that I'm not quite sure what we're building to just yet, but I think you mentioned that you envisioned it being a long series so that may be why.
