To look for the Prince of the Tambourine star-world, the one with a twinkle in his eye...
Comet has come all the way to the distant world of Earth.
She still hasn't found any clues regarding the Prince, though.
What on earth has that Prince been up to?
Could it be... could he be in some trouble?
Save me.
I've got him, he's over there!
Save me.
Hey you!
If you wanna be saved, don't run away...!
What is this?
Hmm?
He isn't coming out!
So it seems.
Why would someone ask me for help and then disappear!
It just makes no sense...!
A SMILE For You
Comet-san!
Yes!
In the open sky, I have been looking for someone...
A shooting star, so far, I have not been able to discover.
Yet somehow... along the way...
A beaming you was there...
I choose to believe in your unending hope!
A SMILE for you, sparkles and shines!
The wind's whispers blow through me.
A SMILE for you, I want you to know!
I can take hold of the clouds, if you are by my side!
Siblings from the Tambourine Star-world
Hey look, Imashun's here!
Imashun? Why would he be here?
It's true, he's doing a street performance!
No way!
Hey, Shun...
You've time for two songs, just two!
♫ Feelings are invisible, yet cut like a blade. ♫
♫ I'm not someone who opens up so easily ♫
He's so good!
♫ But this feeling right now I have inside— ♫
Yes, he is!
Pyon!
Shun-san's songs are powerful, aren't they?
Powerful?
They make you feel fluffy...
♫ My FEELING SOUL wants you to understand! ♫
Fluffy...? What do you mean?
It's like when you and I are together, Rabapyon!
♫ I'm singing this song now... so I can go forward. ♫
Like everything is warm and lovely!
That girl there is even crying!
A bit too fluffy, isn't it?
Thank you!
That song was a song I composed when I felt all alone.
But...
If you just reach out, someone will come help you!
I was lonely because I didn't have the courage to reach out...
Singing taught me that!
Courage...
Courage, huh.
That girl...?
So, my next song... is for all of you!
Rababou, do you sense anything?
I sense the gentle twinkle of Rabapyon...!
I don't mean that!
I uh...
What is it?
I'm not sure...
What are you doing..?!
Princess?
You're not going after her?
Well she just gets these whims...
Bou!
You have your duty! If you dump Comet-sama, Gramps will come down again!
Oh no!! ...I'll be right back!
Which way?
Over here!
Just who are you?
A Twinkle Baton!
That was star-power?!
In the hue of Tambourine!
Seems so, yeah.
Princess...
Yes.
Ehh...? I'm in love-power mode again?
That's because...
Nevermind... You can't help it.
Ah! There! Over there!
No way, she's so far ahead!
Princess, she's getting away!
It's okay, stop.
But why?
It seems she doesn't like me much.
You think so, Princess?
She fled, after all.
That's true...
So we should just leave her alone.
Ehh?
Besides, Rabapyon is waiting.
Hmmm...
Pyon Pyon! That was so much fun!
Then shall we do it again?
Only if Rababou focuses on his job!
I'll work hard!
Say hello to Aunt Spica-sama!
You've got it!
Well then...
Goodbye!
Alright, let's get back to work!
Huuuh?
Princess, I completely disagree.
Someone from Tambourine...
can surely lead us to the Prince.
Even if she knows, she might not tell us.
What are you saying!?
Princess, you do want to find the Prince, right?
Why so gung-ho all of a sudden?
Well, because...
Hold on—
if she's from Tambourine...
I might be able to return this.
We're setting off!
See ya!
Have a safe trip!
You sure have it great...
Don't you, dear?
Huh?
You don't have to go to school, so you laze about all day...
That's because I already graduated!
Really? Really really?
Sorry...!
Gotta go!
Fortissimo... A suspicious reaction!?
Now then, let's Star Tunnel... back to where we were last night!
Right, maybe we can find a clue!
Wait...?
Good morning!
G-Good M-Morning...
Why are you...
I need your help, please!
You need help?
With what?
Please help!
He's here again...
Princess, he's here again!
Enough... Enough enough enough!
Are those cow sounds?
Just you watch, today I'll catch him for sure.
Like so!
Princess...!
Where are you going?!
Nooooo!
I won't let go! I musn't let go!
I CAN'T LET GO!
What is it, big brother?
Do you really want to know?
Yes.
Meteo-san has been so distant lately.
That's just how she always is...
Princess!
P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S!!
Priinceeesss!
See? She keeps running away from me.
She runs pretty fast too!
Eurgh.
Bro, you should exercise too!
You're right!
Then she won't be able to escape!
This... tastes so good!
What an appetite!
She must be really hungry...
Hey, can you hear me out...?
Oh, sure... Sorry!
You're of the Tambourine star-world, yes?
That's right.
My name is Mira.
I'm from the Harmonica star...
I've heard of you!
You're Comet-sama...
and the gallant Rababou-sama.
No need to be formal here on Earth!
But...
Right, I agree.
Then... Comet-san and...
Rababou-san?
So what's wrong?
Uh
You wanted our help?
I said that didn't I?
I don't know why I said that.
Fine, then! Where is the Prince?
His Highness? We also came to Earth to find him.
Who's "we"?
Ah... right...
There's two of us.
Enough! Please stop!
Stop! Stop! STOOOP!
STOOOOP!!
If you won't stop...!
You are very strong...
Aren't you?
Hah! You want to talk now, do you?
Don't you even think of getting away!
You wanted me to help...?
Well I've caught you now!
What are you doing!?
Where are you taking me?
Princess!
Let me off! Let me get off!
Princesssss...!
The truth is...
I came to Earth with my younger brother.
You've got a brother?
His name is Caron.
Neither he nor I seem able to adjust to life here.
Though, compared to me... Caron has things worse.
Can you save me.
Save me.
Then tell me how you want me to save you!
If you won't say, how am I supposed to know?
And who the heck are you? Who?!?
Who are youuuu?!??
I never realised...
Earth was such a miserable place.
We were looking forward to being here, too.
Our mission was to find the Prince...
But it's Earth after all...
Surely we'd have a great time.
We wanted to meet Earthlings.
Live as Earthlings.
We heard that on Earth, kids like us...
still went to school.
We wanted to go...
to see what it's like.
I've never gone.
Uh, you really haven't?
Nope!
I suppose you've already graduated?
So you haven't, Mira-san?
That's right. We wanted to study on Earth.
I was going to put my all into my studies.
But...
The words were so hard...
I couldn't understand them.
Classes were nothing like back home.
I couldn't keep up.
Before I knew it... I had put walls around myself.
I had no friends.
And so... studying got tougher and tougher.
But that's just me.
Caron has it worse.
Sports on Earth are so rough and violent.
The two of us... didn't want to go to school anymore.
Each and every day...
Caron locks himself in his room.
I can think of no way to help.
I was so worried...
I kinda stopped eating.
You Tambourine star-folk are really naive.
Naive?
I mean you are easily hurt.
We lacked experience for this task.
What's more...
when we got into this state...
we had no partner like Rababou-san.
So you couldn't collect star-power?
Yes. Well, only a little...
If the weather's good.
I'm sorry.
I was too dumb to know I had it so good.
Comet-sama, that's not true!
But I don't think Earth is so awful a place.
Is that so.
I hope I can let you see that.
Your brother too.
W-What is this place?
Come on, answer me...!
Vanished again.
You can't fool me!
He must be in this building...
The Prince who needs saving is somewhere in there!
But... I'm not sure he can handle meeting face to face.
We're star-brothers in arms.
It'll be okay.
I've definitely got you this time!
Huh?
What luck!
Huh, COMET?!
What are you doing here?
Oh I know! You're here to stop me again!
You've been following me so as to steal my Prince, right?
You lousy, lowly, COWARDLY LIAR!
Princess, isn't that what you've been doing?
Did I tell you to speak?
Listen, I got here first!
First come, first served!
The Prince came looking for me first!
Do you get it? The two of you are to stay strictly behind me!
There may be a misunderstanding.
But... Caron asked Meteo-sama for help?
Impossible! No matter the problem, who'd want Meteo...
Which floor is the Prince on?
Tell me! TELL ME!
T-The 18th... but...
Ehhhh???
What do you mean...
He isn't the Prince....?!
It's Mira's little brother up there.
We're agents from the Tambourine star council...
Also looking for the Prince.
Whatever you say!
It's pointless to lie like that! Pointless!
I'm first! I'll be the first to see the Prince!
Whaaaat!!!
Where are we?
What's this?
Look, Princess, lots of doors.
Nice try, Comet...
I'll just open those doors then!
I'm going to finally meet my Prince!
Are you alright, Meteo-san?
No way, I can't believe it! No way!
My Prince wasn't in there after all!
Outta my way! It's definitely...
This door here!
How strange!
It's star-power at work!
Caron's pranking us.
Pranks?
He must be scared of facing us...
Hence the illusions.
This is... ABSOLUTELY...
Unforgivable! Unforgivable...!
Let's go!
What's happening now...?
It's all inverted!?!
!Dnatsrednu t'nod I
NOW I'M REALLY MAD!
Princess!
Right.
Heed me, trillions of little stars.
Transform your radiant shine
and your many powers
into my star-power...
Étoile!
Let's go!
What? What!?
You dare use that to skip ahead of me?
To skip ahead of ME?!?
Well, then...!
A quick spell...
Stern!
Comet thinks she'll find him first?
I'll get him first...!
Excuse me...!
Noooo~!
Here?
Over here?
Or over here?
Still the wrong place?
What a coward! I'm starting to think he can't possibly be the Prince!
That's all.
So you're Caron, then.
Comet-san.
Meteo-san!
What was that for?
Wanna carry on like this?
Playing mean tricks...
Treating people like your toys...
You think that's acceptable?!
Don't do that...
Tambourine star-folk are very delicate.
Right, they sure do seem weak!
Yet... this dweeb thinks he can mess with me!
Unforgivable! It's unforgivable!
Come on then.
Do you have any final words?
Come on then!
Uh... That's...
I'm really sorry.
That's good to know. Good to know.
Here.
You asked for help, right?
Take it.
Meteo-sama...
Come here a sec...
I want to see it.
Come on, show me...
Show me how you do it!
Come on!
Okay!
I get it now!
Just a puppet all along.
Well, you won't need that anymore.
I'll be taking this kid with me for a while.
Is that okay?
Y-Yes ma'am.
Mook!
Yes ma'am!
Meteo-san is amazing!
They're off!
With a kid like him...
Maybe someone strong like her will be a good influence.
You may be right.
I can't do the things she can...
How come?
It's just how it is.
Anyway. Mira-san. Will you come with me?
Huh?
I want you to see... the brighter side of Earth.
There aren't just sad places!
There's also happy places!
I want to...
take Mira-san to all those places!
Yes!
But before that...
JUMP!
Look, the little stars are out...
They're making sure we're okay.
You're not alone.
Countless stars on on our side.
Thank you so very much!
Then shall we?
Yes!
Oh little stars... Oh little stars...
Please give me your power Please give me your power
Please all focus your power Please all focus your power
Into one radiance! Into one radiance!
Comet-sama!
On Earth...
There are many people with the same radiance.
If as you say, you want me to help you...
You have to put in some effort to match my own!
What have I turned into?
Someone nicer than before.
Not at all!
I just detest dweeby little boys!
Also, by taking Caron under my wing...
I might obtain some information on the Prince.
C-Could it be...? Who are you to Meteo-san...?!
I'm a spy from the Tambourine star-world!
Is that a surprise? From today, I'll follow Meteo-san!
Ah... no...
My little brother is her Agent Number 6!
Princess! Oh no!
Tsuyoshi-kun and Nene-chan!
Oh yes...
Tsuyoshi-kun and Nene-chan have helping-power...
They help folks who keep finding trouble.
I don't mean that, Princess!
We're supposed to pick them up!
Oh no! I completely forgot!
Fly over right away!
Look! We got home by ourselves!
I'm sorry... I was with her...
She's another Troubled-san like I was.
A Troubled-san?
Nene will help you!
Tsuyoshi will help you too!
See?
You're a friend of Comet-san? Awesome!
Go ahead! Treat this place as your home!
Right!
After all, I'm a freeloader here too!
The comforting kindness of Comet-sama...
The forceful kindness of Meteo-sama...
I wonder... which of them will be the right match for His Highness...?
"Twinkle ☆ Star"
A little down because of what happened.
Things are like that now and then, right?
Turn all those tears into POWER
A big wide smile is definitely the best!!
Hey, a dream, isn't just a dream...
Not if we go make them true...
Together!
Go and shine, TWINKLE STAR
A shining MELODY
I want to send it out, into your HEART!
More and more, TWINKLE STAR
Your own MELODY
I want to listen to it, here in my HEART!
Twinkling on, shining with light, those eyes...
Watch over me! ÉTOILE!
Next time
Hey, Rababou! I'm going to school on Earth.
School...? Haven't you been before?
Well, I've never been to one on Earth.
Princess, you'll be a middle schooler?
Surely there's twinkles at school!
You're not usually this motivated!
Bou's coming too!
Next on Comet-san: "A School's Twinkle"
Shine on 'til next time!
A School's Twinkle
There's still twinkles to find!
