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.
After meeting Mira and Caron from the Tambourine star-world...
her life on Earth has started to change.
Comet had intended to teach the pair the positive sides of Earth...
but instead, she's learning a lot from how they live.
Looks like she's still in class.
Is it going well?
Maybe she's hungry.
Hungry?
Mira-san is a hunger demon, right?
She eats so much, right?
If no one stops her, she can't stop!
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!
Please give us star-power!
What is it?
Did you find maths hard today?
Come to my place if you want help.
We'll study together!
Thank you!
But... I've got other things to do.
... I get it.
The Minami household lacks a mother.
That's so sad.
It's okay.
Well, tell us when you're free!
Yup, let us know, okay?
I'm truly grateful!
Comet-sama!
Looks like you're fine now?
Yes?
You can go back to your place.
If you get in trouble, you can stay over again.
Papa said it's okay.
Yup, Mama also okayed it. It's okay.
What's wrong?
Are you being bullied?
Tsuyoshi'll punch them!
Nene will bite them!
N-No...
Everyone is very nice to me.
Here I go!
Minami's amazing!
Right, right! Small but amazing!
They're good friends now.
Yup!
Caron!
Time to go home!
No! I want to play a bit more!
But...
Just let him play. He's having a good time.
O-Okay.
Then I'll be going on ahead, alright?
Yup!
Then let's go!
Okay!
Wait a sec, Rababou!
Wait, wait!
Heheh, you can't get me here!
Folks?
Tsuyoshi will be back for dinner.
Nene too!
Me three!
So you all want to play...?
You don't wanna see Mira-san's home?
My home?
Nene wants to see Mira-chan's home!
Tsuyoshi too!
Me three!
But...
If you come to my home...
It's clean but there's nothing here.
That's right.
We can roll around!
Look! I'm rolling around too!
Roll roll roll!
I know!
If it's empty, we can redecorate however you like!
Eh?
Redecorate! Wanna do it together?
Redecorate?
If it's this bare, naturally it feels lonely.
So let's make a happy-feeling room!
That'd be great...!
Ah... But...
I don't have any money.
Money?
We had some when we first arrived on Earth.
But we used it all up...
It's okay! You don't need money if you have star-power!
But I'm not very skilled as a star-agent...
Pretty much all I can do is feed myself.
That said, feeding Mira-san is quite a feat!
Eh! Oh come on!
Don't worry!
I'll help you out.
Tsuyoshi too!
Nene will help too!
But... what sort of room would make you happy?
Tsuyoshi wants a room full of monsters!
Monsters?
Nene wants lots and lots of sweets!
So a place like Rabapyon's, then?
Right~!
Rabapyon's home is the happiest home of all~!
L-Love-power again...
Thinking about her makes me feel fuzzy!
It's Mira-san's decision.
So... what do you want?
Well...
Do you want lots of food?
Stop going on about that!
Let's start with a sofa!
Let's see, then...
Come here!
It's really a sofa!
How do you like it?
In terms of colour...
Just like that!
That's right...
Mira-san should have a go.
It's your room, right?
Right!
B-But...
That should do it!
Thank you!
Princess is a star-agent instructor now!
Right! Master!
Master?
Am I now...?
It's way better, right?
What do you wanna do next?
Well um...
Pull hard...
There...!
I did it!
Next...
I'll add the ocean...
Ocean?
I wanna lie on the beach, like on a Southern island!
Sounds neat! Give it a try!
Huh?
We've run out already?
Leave it to me!
The stars should be out now!
Take care now...
JUMP!
Oh little stars...
Please give me your power
Please all focus your power
into one radiance!
Huh? There's so few stars this time.
It's okay. This should be enough.
Did you get it?
I'm home!
Welcome back, Caron!
I'm starving!
Uh...
What happened?
Do you like it, Caron?
Comet-sama just gave me some star-power.
We'll have good stuff to eat too!
Oh? Hurrah!
Time for us to go home. Papa and Mama will be waiting.
I wanna play more.
Nene too.
Another day.
Well, we're off.
I'm so grateful, Comet-sama!
Oh, whoops...
Forgot about this!
Take it, Mira-san.
It might help your mission.
What's that?
It's a Memory Stone.
So it's a royal heirloom.
I picked it up so...
Can you return it for me?
But... We don't know where the Prince is.
No idea at all?
Y-Yeah.
I think it'd be better for Comet-sama to hold onto it.
Is that so...
Okay. I got it!
Wow... It's getting dark.
Huh?
What is it?
It's a moving-truck!
Keisuke?
Why're you here?
It's him!
Keisuke-niichan!
What are you doing?
What? I'm working!
Why?
They don't need guys on watch anymore.
If I don't get paid I can't eat...
let alone follow my dream.
Why not?
Come on! Stop bothering me.
If I don't finish this before sundown—
Hey, part-timer! Too slow!
Yes sir, I'm coming!
Need a hand?
If you did it, I'd lose my pay!
I'm alright. Go home, idiot.
Still with the "idiot"?
Keep it up!
Yeah, keep it up!
Keep it up.
Keisuke has a job?
What's going on?
He's living alone too...
it must be hard work.
Yeah, for that boy...
there's no such thing as a free lunch.
He's missing... lunch?
Not quite...
I meant, if he doesn't put in effort, he won't have anything to eat.
Keisuke works hard, relying on his own strength.
He's really strong!
Yeah.
Huh?
What is it?
We'd like to use Rababou-san's powers again.
Huh?
Caron needs more star-power.
I need power to make some toys... My friends all have toys!
Toys?
Rababou.
Let's help them out.
If the Princess says so...
Let's go then.
JUMP!
Can you jump again?
Uuh?
Just once doesn't let me collect enough.
That's not enough?
JUMP!
What? What?
After I turned him down, he went running over to Comet?
How could he!
If he won't tell me about the Prince...
why should I reward him with star-power?
That's right. Comet-sama is too naive.
She's too naive. Way too naive!
Thanks, Comet-sama.
Go thank Rababou!
Thanks, Rababou.
I'm... so tired...
Um...
Can you jump one more time?
What?
Again?
I need star-power too.
Rababou... can you?
One last time, okay...
No good?
No more tonight, it seems.
Understood.
I'll return tomorrow.
Tomorrow!?
Comet!
Meteo-san?
This is... This is unbearable, so lemme warn you...
The Princess really can't bear most things.
If a Star Princess...
No...
If any star-agent acted like you lot, they'd be a total moron.
A moron?
You don't see your mistake?
Figures.
What did we do wrong?
Ah~! A moron! What a moron!
Wonder what the Prince would think if he found out~?
Huh?
Oh it's fine, just carry on!
Keep doing it!
Best of luck, now.
Tschüss~!
Tschüss is German by the way.
I'm doing something wrong?
What?
This is awesome!
So much star-power!
Huh? They're not home?
Mira-san?
Save me Comet-sama!
The sea I made is too rough!
Caron's toys are having a revolution!
No way... What happened?
I don't know... I don't know!
Ah... I'm out of power!
Comet-sama!
Look out!
No way!
It stopped.
How come...
Why did it stop?
Auntie...?
Spica-sama?
Oh?
Is Rababou still asleep?
Rababou~ Rababou!
I'm not coming out!
He seems very tired...
Auntie... did I do something awful?
Did you consider the little stars?
Huh?
Star-power is the little stars' power.
Did you forget that?
Ahh...
Look, you collect star-power like this... Got it?
Yup, Spica-sama.
Star-power is the little stars' power.
The little stars' power?
It comes from the folk inside those stars.
If you give them lots of love...
then the starfolk inside will lend you their strength.
If I give them love?
Yup.
Really cherish them.
Doing so makes the little stars happy, and we get power in return.
I see.
This how all us star-agents get the star-power we use.
The little stars...
Poor Rababou is all worn out...
Too many unfair demands will wear the little stars out too.
It makes sense they would disobey you.
I see.
Star-power is a gift created by the little stars' hard work...
so we need to take good care of it.
Yup!
Earthlings can live full lives even without star-power.
Keisuke...
Thank you, Auntie!
I understand now!
Thank Meteo-san instead!
Ah... But...
Those Tambourine siblings still can't manage without magic.
Those two children live alone, right?
I'm in trouble...
Rabapyon will go!
Rababou worked so hard, after all.
Good day to you!
Who's this?
In place of Rababou, it's Rabapyon.
Rabapyon?
Can Rabapyon jump to collect star-power?
I'll do it if it's truly necessary.
Thank goodness!
We have to clean up! Give us some star-power...
No, we can't use star power to clean up.
Why? It'd be quick!
If we waste star-power...
we'll wear out the stars.
It's wrong to take star-power for granted.
What gives?
Comet-sama is as stingy as Meteo-sama!
Big sis?
This stuff...
is part of our star-agent training... right?
Yup!
What, what? They're good kids now?
At this rate, only Comet-sama will end up looking good.
What? She'll look good?
When these two report to the Prince, they'll just say Comet-sama taught them stuff.
No way! That isn't acceptable at all~!
The hint came from me, you know!?
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
Yup, if you want something cleaned, leave it to me! To me!
Thank you, Meteo-san!
No! You and I are basically sisters, right?
See? If you work hard, others will come and help!
Yeah!
I see now.
It's the same way with the stars.
We were bad star-agents because...
we never put in effort.
Without effort...
no one will cheer for your success.
Is that why there was so little energy to collect?
That must be it!
Even in the distant Triangle Nebula, the stars...
they're watching us.
Ah~ A nice nap.
Rababou, you awake?
Do you want to get star-power again?
Not today.
Rabapyon's staying with Mira-san for now.
Ehhhh?
She's teaching them to conserve power.
Does that mean I can't see her?
Just for a while.
What's wrong?
I feel so lonely.
Rababou?
What?
Comet-san!
What's wrong with Keisuke?
Nothing. I was just here to cheer him on.
He's very determined!
Cheer him on?
If the next lifeguard competition goes well...
then he can train abroad.
Wha?
Oh? He hasn't told you?
Where would Keisuke go?
Well, he hasn't decided yet. But it's his dream.
Keisuke, he's...
Comet-san!
What is it? Princess?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Just Rababou's loneliness...
leaking into my heart.
But Princess... I'm not in your pendant right now.
"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
Prickly prickly!
Prickles!
That looks fun, what's the game?
We're being prickle-folk!
Autumn is for prickle-folk!
Prickle-folk? What are those?
Papa, you too! Do it with us!
PRICKLE!!
Oh right...
Next on Comet-san: "The Fruition of Keisuke's Dream"
Shine on 'til next time!
Twinkles to starboard!
The Fruition of Keisuke's Dream
Prickles!
