[gasps]
What a horrible dream.
Morning, Ellie!
Are these the outfit options for today?
Were you dithering over what to wear?
[gasps] It's not what it looks like!
I was just going to reorganize my stuff.
What's this? Buying pink lipstick too!
Aah! I just like the design!
You want him to see you
with juicy, luscious lips, huh?
Because you got a date invite, right?
From Kanata.
Stop it!
[sighs]
[Kanata] You lot ready?
-[Ange and Flamme] Yes!
-Okay!
Okay, onwards!
[engine starts]
Our leader, Michael,
-is smitten too.
-Thanks for the cute costume, Mari Mari!
[Maria] It's a hand-me-down from Ellie,
but the size should be perfect!
-Hey, Kanata.
-Yeah?
I was just wondering
what exactly we're doing today
What we're doing?
Tokio's been raking it in recently,
so he got us tickets to Satellite Aqua.
So I invite you to come along.
I see, so you wanted me to join you.
[Kanata] It's a super rare golden ticket,
so I thought it'd be fun
if we all went together.
Right, right, all together.
-[laughing]
-With everyone
Ange! As if you knew that and didn't say!
Oops, sorry.
Well, after taking forever to choose,
it's lucky you went for your usual outfit!
Ange!
-Why is Ellie angry?
-[Flamme hums]
It's nothing!
Hey, hey, Kana!
-Don't I look pretty?
-What?
Of course she's pretty.
I fixed her up perfectly.
-Yay! I'm perfect Flammy!
-[Ellie groans]
I owe you one, Kanata.
For introducing me
to an excellent engineer.
It was nothing. I promised, so.
[Claudia]
But you invited us on this trip too.
Well, it seemed like
you and Maria hit it off right away.
-Totally.
-For sure.
And Ellie, you can let it go, right?
Please?
-Ow!
-Oops.
Did I poke you in the wrong place?
It's fine.
What about Ciel?
She couldn't come.
She has some errands, or something.
Oh, yeah?
[all gasp]
[people clamoring]
Is this what a pool is?
It's Flammy's first time too!
I've never seen so much water!
Ellie, you've been before, right?
Yeah! My sister brought me once.
But I was only a kid
Yoo-hoo!
The girls' locker rooms are over here!
Catch you in a bit, Kanata.
See ya.
It's over that way.
Geez, what now?
No need to freak out.
Time to reel him in.
Put me down!
What's the issue?
This looks fun!
[Claudia] I see, yes.
[Flamme] Uh-huh.
[Claudia] I see.
Today is Ellie's battle for the win!
Yep.
"Battle"?
This is your big chance to get close
to the guy who's driving you crazy!
Yep.
"Driving you crazy"?
-Yes!
-[both] Let's call it
Operation: Ambush Kanata!
[all] Yay!
"Ambush"?
[Ellie] Enough already.
Don't go and make this weirder
than it already is!
Wow, but isn't it cute?
Oh, you think so?
Nuh-uh
A bikini like that
isn't gonna get a guy falling over you.
-Really?
-Really.
100% really.
Next! Let's try this.
How?
It's nothing but string!
Then, this?
They just stick on,
and keep your important bits covered.
Stickers?
Stickers are not swimsuits!
You're so selfish
Then, how about this?
Actually, I kind of like
-Totally see-through when it gets wet.
-Wow!
It'll send him wild!
All in a tizzy!
Kanata will be totally turned off!
What are you saying? You mean turned on!
Turned on? What?
You're just doing this to amuse yourself!
[yawns]
[Claudia] So in the end,
you're going with that one?
I'm sick of this.
Bikinis are a woman's
best weapon of attack.
Exactly.
"Best weapon"?
Is something wrong, Noir?
Do you intend to fight Kanata today?
Pardon?
I heard, "best weapon,"
"ambush the guy who's driving you crazy,"
and, "battle for the win."
What?
I was under the impression
that you two were friends.
But, in fact, you detest Kanata?
What?
You've got it all wrong!
So then, you like Kanata?
Oh, no!
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Anyway!
Time to go!
Let's catch up with the others!
We're running out of precious pool time!
[Ellie] Sorry for the wait.
Ellie.
[Ellie] Hmm?
[gasps softly]
Is there something wrong with me?
What, no way
It's just that
It's
Ho Ho
Hot. What?
Hot?
Whoa, what?
[both] Hot?
[giggles] Hot?
Hot?
Of course it's hot.
That's why we're at the pool, silly.
Never mind!
Come on, time to go!
Everyone in the pool!
Let's go!
Wha Kanata! Wait for me!
"Time to go"?
Seems like Kanata's not the only one
who doesn't really get it
She's got good being-dumb skills.
True.
But that's what's so cute about her!
Cute, hot, dummy!
"Hot"?
[laughing]
[shouts]
This feels so good!
I'm never leaving!
[gasps softly]
Go, go, Flammy!
Come on, Noi Noi!
[gasps]
[groans]
Entering the water.
[clank]
[Kanata] Noir!
I guess the swimming-mode plug-in
hasn't been installed.
Hold on! What type of swimming is that?
[chuckles] Just like a submarine.
I shouldn't laugh at Noir.
Actually, I can't swim either.
No way.
Why would I make it up?
[Ellie] Oh, really
We've been friends forever,
but there's still stuff I don't know.
So, Ellie
Wha What?
If it's okay with you,
would you teach me how to swim?
But But why me?
Well, because
-[Ange] Whoa!
-Megaton water
rocket!
Yay!
I found Noi Noi!
[Ellie sighs]
Seems like you've got
the most normal swimming technique
Well, okay then.
Thanks!
[Claudia] How bittersweet.
Those two are way too cute.
You're telling me.
Well, not as cute as my Flamme,
but you know what I mean.
Take that back.
If we're rating cuteness,
my sister comes way out on top.
No chance.
It's not "no chance."
[Claudia] Wait.
Maria, you know,
you like your sis a bit too much.
Like?
Absolutely not.
It's love.
[both giggle]
[dome whirring]
-[both] Huh?
-[Tokio] Thank you for waiting!
Perhaps you have waited too long!
-Tokio? What's he up to?
-[Ellie gasps]
[Tokio]
A supernova is born into Rock Town!
Their debut song soared to the charts
and grabbed hold of your hearts.
And so, please put your hands together,
as we bring a special guest
to our finest stage:
Singing Princess Ciel!

[crowd cheering, clamoring]
Ciel! I love you!
Flammy loves you more!
I love you way, way more!
-Love, love, love!
-[Flamme] Love, love, love!
Come to me!
Wahey!
[Kanata] Tokio
[gasps, chuckles]
Me?
Ah! She just waved at me!
Wahoo!
Did you see, Bob? Did you see?
-[girls] Wow!
-Want my number?
-[girls] You're so cool!
-[Bob chuckles]
Well, go on then. Make a line.
For real?
[stutters]
It's not how it looks, Maria.
True love and fan love
are totally different things.
Kanata! Were you surprised?
So when you said you had stuff to do,
you meant this?
Yes, I'm singing twice every day.
-You are a very skilled singer.
-[Ciel] Thank you.
Tokio arranged the stage performance
and designed my outfit for me.
No wonder Tokio is
doing so well for himself lately.
But I'm surprised you took the offer.
What are you saying?
You're the one
who inspired me to go for it.
Me?
[Ciel] When you said you liked my music,
my dream bubbled to the surface again.
-[Kanata] Dream?
-[gasps]
Yes.
My dream to sing for more and more people.
[Kanata] I see. Well, I'll back you!
And I'll root for you
while you chase your dream.
It'll be a race to see
who can make it happen first.
Kana and Princess Ciel
-are so cozy together.
-Don't say that!
-Be quiet.
-[Ciel] Shall we have some fun later?
Well, I'm not sure if it's fun,
but Ellie is teaching me to swim.
If it's swimming you're into,
I'm pretty good too, y'know.
I've got some time to kill,
so maybe we can teach you together?
Ellie! Do you mind?
Actually,
maybe Ciel should teach you by herself.
Ellie, what is it?
-It doesn't matter.
-[Kanata] Ellie
I said it doesn't matter!
[panting]
What am I doing?
Being so envious and sulky
I'm going to Histoire, no matter what.
That's my dream.
[laughing]
What kind of dream is that?
There's no such thing as Histoire.
You're such a child!
Back then, I laughed at a person's dream.
[Kanata] Ellie!
-Ellie!
-Why are you following me?
Go away!
Ellie, wait!
[squeals]
My leg
Kanata?
[Ellie] What happened?
[Maria] Ellie!
Thank goodness.
Did I
Kanata dived in and saved you.
Kana was super-duper cool!
He gave you mouth-to-mouth
like he was born to do it.
Claudia!
Mouth-to-mouth?
If you did that then, that means
He kissed me?
-[Ellie sighs]
-Still down in the dumps?
Wasn't that a good outcome, with Kanata?
How so?
More a revelation than a good outcome.
What was?
That I'm just kind of
Ciel is clearly really into Kanata,
but I'm just, kind of into him.
I'm sure that's why
she's winning the race.
Is it bad to only "kind of" like someone?
I love making rockets.
No matter how many times I mess up,
I can still keep making them.
But that's because I kind of like space,
so I'd like to go there someday.
Do you think that's a bad way to feel?
Do you think I'm a loser?
No. No way.
[Maria] Do you kind of love your sis too?
Yeah.
See?
[crying]
When I see him next,
I have so much I want to say.
[Maria] I know.
Speaking of next time,
he must have been worried.
Seems he's already come to check on you.
What?
GANYUU BEER
-[Ellie] Kanata.
-Yes?
[Ellie]
Thank you for looking out for me today.
[Kanata] It would have been more useful
if I could swim.
It was a messy rescue.
[Ellie]
I'm the one who needs to apologize.
[Kanata] What? Why?
[Ellie] When I was little,
I listened to your dream
and just laughed in your face.
I teased you just because
your dream was outlandish.
Laughing at another person's dream
is so mean.
Today, seeing how you and Ciel
have faith in each other's dreams
really made me feel bad.
I'm sorry.
Why are you pulling that face?
I was just thinking
"Oh, yeah, now I remember."
"Oh, yeah"? As if you barely remember!
[Kanata chuckles]
I mean,
that probably upset me at the time,
but I've forgotten about it
because of all the times
you've helped me out.
W-What?
Why would you say that?
Don't be stupid!
-[Kanata] That hurts! Ellie!
-[Ellie] Stupid idiot!
-[both shout]
-[bodies thud]
So, did you really do it? Today?
[Kanata] What?
I mean, when you saved me
did you do mouth-to-mouth?
[Kanata] What?
Like, a kiss?
I didn't, I didn't! Promise!
What?
I was just about to,
-but Ange
-[Ange] Ellie!
[Ange blows]
[Ellie] So that's what happened.
[Kanata] That's what happened.
[Noir] Kanata, danger.
-What?
-Noir?
Kanata, I will protect you.
[Kanata] What are you doing, Noir?
[Noir] Today, I heard that
Ellie planned to attack you.
-[Ellie] No way!
-[Noir] And that you drive her crazy.
-What?
-What?
Crazy?
Ellie, don't you like me?
[Ellie groans]
[shouting]
-[Kanata] Wait, wait, why are you mad?
-[Ellie] Kanata, you fool!
