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.
Autumn has begun, a season where many fruits are ripe for the picking.
Earth really has a lot of delicious things... will Comet eat too much?
Almost got it...
Fortissimo...
It's just out of reach...
It's...
Ah... Ah... AH!
I'm flying! I'm flying! I can't control myself!
I'm innocent! Innocent!
I'm not stealing your persimmons!
It's okay!
Go take them!
Fujiyoshi Constitution Article 36!
"Things growing in our garden...
...are for everyone!"
Yes! I'll give one to Taichi-kun too!
That's nice of you, Pani-kun.
T-Taichi-kun...!
Hey, you lot!
Wanna join the harvest?
Yes!
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!
The fruition of Keisuke's dream
Be careful, okay? There's falling chestnuts.
Chestnuts?
They're prickly.
They hurt!
Ouch ouch!
Papa you bully!
Oh oh... It dropped on you, huh?
Sorry! Sorry!
This is...?
It's prickly.
Like prickly folk.
Prickly folk?
Yup! From prickly star.
Really, this is unacceptable!
Why are you so grumpy?
You bumped into me!
You think I want to touch you?!
They're always angry.
But they're really nice people at heart.
Some people are like that.
I wasn't thinking of Keisuke!
Hoh...? Did Papa mention Keisuke?
He didn't! He didn't! He didn't! He didn't!
That guy always acts angry...
but he's actually a sweet chestnut boy inside.
Chestnut boy!
Cute!
Keisuke is a chestnut boy!
Comet-san.
Have you spoken to Keisuke lately?
No I haven't.
He's too busy with work.
Is that so...
What's this?
Wild grapes.
Can you eat them?
They're good.
But a bit sour.
Eat one and your face does this.
See?
Nene will look even more sour!
I'll try one too.
I feel so left out...
You wanted to have one?
I miss Star-world harvest festivals.
I do too.
Everyone, line up! Line up!
Today's the harvest!
All these delicious star-fruits...
we'll share them out amongst everyone!
Alright, everyone! Let's tuck in!
ITADAKIMASU! ITADAKIMASU!
Comet!
What about me? My share?
Father, you're late again!
But don't worry.
I reserved the best for you.
Help yourself!
That's my little girl! So thoughtful!
No, I knew because the little stars told me!
Weren't our bellies full?
The King always ate too much and got punished by the Queen.
As we ate, we said how yummy it was...
thanking the little stars.
Yup!
I know!
Let's do a harvest festival!
A festival?
Nene loves festivals!
A festival?
Good idea!
Can I invite my friends tomorrow?
Sure you can!
Hurrah!
But...
T-Tomorrow huh...?
Will Rabapyon be invited?
Of course!
Hurrah!
This again?
Oh well!
What's that?
An Invitiation Ball.
Invitiation Ball?
You use it to invite people.
This... is how you send it out!
Fireworks!
Go tell everybody!
I hope they can all come.
How are you, everyone?
What's that?
It's sudden, but tomorrow at the Fujiyoshi's...
we'll have a harvest festival.
Harvest festival?
Can we go?
Once we finish our chores.
And your homework, Caron!
Tch... It's like I have two sisters now.
It's hard work for Rabapyon too, doing our cooking.
Yeah, we'll be eating what she makes again today.
So astringent!
Such a... fortissimo...
astringent persimmon!
You don't think so?
We have a lot of delicious fruit, please come!
It's astringent.
A harvest festival, huh?
It's been a while, right?
How nostalgic...
No... This obviously a trap.
Huh?
I'll get to the bottom of Comet's scheme...
Tomorrow—
Tomorrow?
What's this?
Is this a joke?
That's my...
Day of Destiny!
Can this be real?
Truly?
I'm hungry.
Were we actually invited or not?
I just can't be sure...
Huh? Pani-kun is here!
Taichi-kun too!
You don't need to run!
It's a festival!
Eh... Is that true?
Yup, that's right.
Well then, here I am~
I only had a vague hunch I should come... I can't believe this!
Fortissimo! This is real?!?
You're all welcome!
Is this okay?
H-Hello.
Hello.
I'm here!
Me too!
Will there be lunch?
They're here!
Are we supposed to be here?
Come, come! Do come in!
Uh... okay!
It's such a long way on foot.
Not enough to require star-power!
Exercise is a key part of star-agent training.
Did you learn that from Meteo-sama, Caron?
Comet-sama!
Mira-san's lot!
Rabapyon is here!
It's been so long!
Rabapyon!!
Waiting to see someone?
Well...
Meteo-san isn't here yet.
Meteo-sama is up there.
Why does she need all these people?
She did say "harvest festival".
Do I really look that easy to fool?
It's hard to reply to that...
He... isn't... coming...?
He isn't coming.
Who does she mean?
Keisuke, I think.
Alright, let's start the harvest festival!
Ready to go into the hills and pick lots of fruits and mushrooms?
YEEESS!
But first, a word from Keitarou-papa!
Ah... Don't worry, pick as much as you want!
Just have fun, okay?
Can I leave the rest to you?
Huh? Papa is leaving?
Afraid so. Papa has to head out.
Head out?
Huh?
But it's a festival...
There's someone else whose big day is today.
Someone else?
Sorry, I've got to run!
He's going to Keisuke-kun.
Keisuke?
He's at the lifeguard selection finals today.
This is the day all his training is going to bear fruit.
That's... today?
How come you didn't know?
Yeah, he should have told us!
Nene would've cheered for him!
Well, he's not the sort who'd want that...
So he must have sworn Papa to secrecy.
That's right!
If I went to cheer for him...
he'd have said "idiot, go away!"
What a prickly person!
Prickly folk!
Prickly!
Yes, let's return to the festival.
Everyone's waiting.
Yup!
Let's go!
That girl won't admit she wants to see the boy.
What should we do?
What's her plan with this festival?
I must find out before I act.
I really think she just wants people to have a good time.
Let's move!
Is it okay? Me not telling anyone...
Stop going on about it.
I just want to walk my own path.
Hah hah... that's right, sorry.
This town is too comfortable for me.
It's not good to be too comfortable.
You're so strict with yourself...
You are a prickly one. You really are!
Huh?
Ehh? You twirl batons too?
Yep!
Would you like to join our team?
Can I join too?
You can! You can!
You're way better than me!
Ah...
With Hanamaru-san?
Right!
I've seen your work too, Kashima-san.
Really?
I really love them...
You're so gentle.
Ah I mean your work!
It helps with design studies.
You alright?
Yes!
She's letting strangers get to know each other.
Just like a Star-world harvest festival.
Working and eating together naturally makes folk get along.
Is that all?
What, what, what?
That doesn't give Comet an advantage at all!
Mook?
So we meet again!
Mook-sama!
Wanna pick grapes with us?
Together, with him?
Is that a problem?
No...
It's a festival I guess?
Even Mook has fallen prey to Comet's stupid plan!
W-Was that her goal all along?
To isolate me...?
So mean! That's so mean!
That's just so mean!
Ahh! There! There!
Over here too!
Tsuyoshi-kun, there!
Let go of me!
Ah! Tsuyoshi is a prickly person!
I'M PRICKLY!
Stop that!
Tsuyoshi-kun!
Don't prick people!
That's right... Don't bully people!
M...Meteo-sama!
Look around!
The warm rays of the sun are upon us.
A gentle breeze...
blows through the forest.
All blessings of the beautiful sky!
Listen!
Birds are serenading us.
The woodland animals...
are all dancing in joy!
Ha! They're chirping!
Cute!
Right.
Today is a happy day for all.
How can you bully someone today?!?
See? Of course you can't.
Yup! I won't do it anymore!
Meteo-san's great.
Yeah, great! Great!
Yes, I can spout this nonsense too.
Good! Let's celebrate, everyone!
Incredible!
But this is fun, right?!
It really is.
The trees and shrubs are full of fruit.
Because of the harsh summer sun...
All the wind and the rain...
All that hard work.
Because of that...
The soft light and breeze comforts me.
Let's be the wind today.
Then I can go to him.
Heed me, trillions of little stars.
Transform your radiant shine
and your many powers
into my star-power...
Étoile!
I really think it'd be easier if you just jumped...
Princess?
Sorry, Rababou, I need you!
Uh... B... But...
I'll come too!
Understood!
Please... follow Keisuke's shine!
Leave it to me!
My head's all cold now...
Now's the last event.
Mannequin rescue!
Participants, go to your positions!
If he wins this, he's off to the Australian Games.
Yup. That's to say, one step closer to his dream.
Just one step?
"The world's best lifeguard" is still a ways off.
Just getting a license will take time...
Three years, maybe?
Three years, huh.
Three more years?
But yes, if he wins, it's all laid out for him.
Once he gets to Australia...
I'm sure he'll keep on improving.
Where's Australia?
Dunno. Another country?
A distant country.
Comet-san?
Ah no...
She can't be here...
A distant country.
Keisuke's going away?
Princess?
Keisuke...
Do your best!
Keisuke!
Come on! Come on!
Show them the fruits of your labour!
I know you worked the hardest!
So you gotta win!
I've picked too much...
It all looks yummy!
The chestnuts too!
Right! That's right!
This is the gift nature has given us!
It'll definitely be delicious!
Come, let us enjoy!
Comet-san suddenly vanished.
And Meteo-san suddenly appeared! Isn't that funny?
Yep... Thank goodness for Meteo-san!
What?
Meteo-san, thank you! Meteo-san, thank you!
Wh... Wha... What?
You're... You're embarrassing me!
Meteo-san is just always so awesome~
Why are you here.
I'm late!
Bro, the harvest is over now.
Whaaa... No way...!
No one gets left out.
She's perfect.
Stop that, this isn't my gift!
It's what the forest has given us!
Ah, look...
They're all making Meteo-san welcome.
Today, she's truly number one.
Keisuke won first prize too!
Yup.
Princess, do you feel left out?
Not at all!
"Chestnuts, three years, persimmons take eight."
Meaning?
We picked chestnuts today,
but the tree took many years to grow.
Yes, so...
Keisuke is still a sapling...
It'll take time for him to grow, for his dreams to make big big fruits.
His dream's fruition...
If only I can see that...
A quick Harvest Festival...
Even on Earth, it went over well.
But when will Keisuke-kun's tree be ready for harvest?
Will it take very long?
Will his harvest come before the end of Comet's time on Earth...?
There's Comet-san!
Comet-san!
Yes! Sorry!
"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
Ah, busy, so busy!
Princess, you really aren't going?
Yup. I want Yui-san's Fashion Fest to succeed.
Don't worry, Kashima-san is helping!
What about Keisuke?
Is Keisuke really leaving?
Princess, go see Keisuke!
Next on Comet-san: "What I can do to help"
Shine on 'til next time!
What I can do to help
There's still twinkles to find!
