Volume 7: Festival Night
Transcripted by schally
(taken from a dubbed version)

[Camera pans across a city scene and cuts to Kome's room (apparently) where she's looking inside a giant basket]

Kome: Yeah, it's festival time again. [Pulls off basket lid] Here it is! I found it! [Pulls some clothes out of the basket] Huh?

[A little booklet falls to the floor] "My poem" "Grade 3, class D, Kome S."

K: Oh my god, I'm not even sure I want to read that thing... "My star prince. I'm waiting for you." Oh man, what was I thinking? How stupid!

[Fades to a black and white flashback. It's done silent movie style, with white on black text slides that flash across the screen periodically]

[A boy being introduced to a class. It looks like little Kome's class! (She's a cute kid, eh?)]

"A new transfer student."

[Little Kome makes a face.]

"Damn, he looks so weak!"

[Little Kome watches the boy joking with some of his friends.]

"However..."

[She watches him in (chem?) class]

"What's the matter?"

[She's watching him again.]

"Without realizing it..."

[She's standing by the door as he plays ball in the school yard]

"I'm looking for him."

[The flashback fades back to Kome, who is sitting in a window reading the poem aloud to herself.]

Kome: When I'm before you I become a princess in both my mind and body. My love, would you please... kiss me? I'm not a sleeping beauty? Arrgh!

[Kome buries her face in the booklet and stamps her feet on the window sill]

Kome: This is so dumb! I'm so embarrassed!

[Back to flashback sequence. Little Kome is standing by a tree.]

"My fortune had the luckiest message."

[Little Kome sees her "prince" from a distance and gets a determined look on her face.]

"The strength of loving someone can crush a rock!"

[Little Kome has a note that she clearly intends to give him. She stops suddenly, however, and the look of determination fades into one of disappointment. Now that the boy has walked into her full view, she sees that he is with another girl.]

"It can also crush someone else's love..."

[Fade back to Kome on her balcony. She drops the booklet, apparently having lost interest, and starts prancing around in her kimono.]

Kome: Well, anyhow, I only show off my gorgeous figure once a year, so I'll wear my summer kimono! La la la la la!

Momiji: (from below) Kome! Let's go to the festival!

Yaegashi: Hey Kome! Hey!

Momiji: Yeah! [laughter]

Kome: [peering over balcony] Okay, I'll be right down!

"Without recognizing it..."

[When she sees Yaegashi Kome suddenly gets a strange look on her face]

Kome: Huuh? [said in a very "yowza!" type way]

[Kome shakes her head, shaking herself out of whatever trance she was in.]

Kome: Whew boy. That goofy poem's got me thinkin' weird.

[Cut to a fireworks display in the night sky.]

Kome: More! Yeah!

[Cuts to Kome, Momiji and Yaegashi watching fireworks. Kome has Yaegashi in a headlock and appears to be (inadvertently) choking him.]

Yaegashi: Aaghh... Kome, I think you drank too much.. Grghh...

Kome: Come on! It's festival time! We're supposed to party party party! Let's get nekkid!!

"My star prince?! NOT!"
