04x134 - Makoto's Friendship: A Girl Who Admired Pegasus

[bunniefuu]

The author of
"The Moonlit Pegasus"...

...is your friend, Mako-chan?

Let's go get an autograph! Let's go!

Usagi, they're at it again!

You, who tries to look into the dreams
of a pure, elegant, literary girl...

In the name of the moon...

...we'll punish you!

I'm sorry that I'm not honest.
Gomen ne sunao ja nakute

I can say that in my dreams.
Yume no naka nara ieru

My thoughts are about to short-circuit.
Shikou kairo wa SHORT sunzen

I want to see you right now.
Ima sugu aitai yo

It makes me want to cry, this moonlight.
Nakitaku naru you na MOONLIGHT

And I can't make a call at midnight.
Denwa mo dekinai MI DNIGHT

Because I'm naive, what should I do?
Datte junjou doushiyou

My heart is a kaleidoscope.
HEART wa mangekyou

Guided by the light of the moon...
Tsuki no hikari ni michibikare

...we meet each other again and again.
Nando mo meguri au

By counting the constellations' blinking...
Seiza no matataki kazoe

...we forecast the outcome of this love.
Uranau koi no yukue

We were born in the same country.
Onaji kuni ni umaretano

MI RACLE ROMANCE

I believe in it.
Shinjite iruno

MI RACLE ROMANCE

The Moonlit Pegasus
It really is a good story...

The Moonlit Pegasus
"The Moonlit Pegasus."

The Moonlit Pegasus
An unrequited love between a pegasus
and a human woman...

No matter how many times I read this,
I end up in tears!

Oh, I read that book!

I can understand how it's
sold over a million copies!

Yup, yup, yup.

But still... for Usagi, someone who only
reads comics, to be reading a novel...

Isn't it about to snow soon?

What's all that about...?

Rei, perhaps you haven't read
this book yet... Am I right?

When I read the book,
I cried at least times!

I want to have a romance
that passionate, too...

Really, it's a story that touches your
heart without rhyme or reason.

Even Ami.!?

It must be some novel.!

Am I getting behind the times...?

It's amazing...

I wonder if this person knows
the same Pegasus that I do...?

It's nothing, really.

Actually, the author of
that novel, Tomoko Takase...

...used to be a classmate of
mine before I moved over here.

Oh, really...?
She's the same age as all of you...?

There sure is a difference between
having or not having talent!

Leave me alone!

And Mako-chan, you, too!

To keep something important
like that a secret from us!

Well, if I had blabbed it, I would sound
like I was boasting that I know a celebrity...

Well, that may be the case, but...

If it was Usagi, I'm sure she
would be babbling all over.

Yup, yup.

That wasrt necessary, Luna.

In the beginning, I was the
one who egged Tomoko on...

...telling her to submit her
novel to a magazine.

All I did was just read them,
and tell her what I thought about them.

But Tomoko always said that it cheered
her up, and she was so desperate to write.

And what do you know,
she debuted with her first submission!

That was that novel...
"The Moonlit Pegasus."

Then... the reason why we can
read Tomoko's novels today...

...is because you found
the talent within her, Mako-chan!

I guess it turns out that way, doesn't it?

Sheesh, you're bragging about it after all.

But that's all in the past.
Now, she's ultra-popular...

While I, with switching schools
and all the other busywork...

...was never able to congratulate
her properly on any of this...

Mako-chan...

Hey, Mako-chan!

Let's invite everyone and get
autographs from Tomoko on Sunday!

But...

It's all right, it'll be fine!

I'm sure that Tomoko wants
to see you, too, Mako-chan!

Hey, Usagi, just because YOU want to...

I want to see her, too!

I want to meet the lovely person
who wrote this story as well.

Mako-chan, please!

I guess I'll go visit her for
the first time in a while, then.

All right!

Really, when are you guys going to get
around to catching the Pegasus already!?

However, Master Zirconia...

QUI ET!

Look at you... all you
care about are appearances.

What matters, the brain,
is about as empty as a balloon!

Welcome back, Zircon.

Go after this girl this time!

Oh, I know this girl.

Isn't she that ultra-popular author?

I've read that book she wrote, too!
It cracked me up so much!

Yeah, yeah! Especially
where the pegasus jumps in...

...and sacrifices his life for
the heroine... It's just so stupid...

Stop it!!

The story about a pegasus that
can catch the hearts of humans...

This author - was it Tomoko Takase?
Might know something about the Pegasus.

Then leave it to me.

Literary girls who cannot help but
to chase after a fleeting romance...

...all fall for me in an instant if I try.

But in any case, to think that Mako-chan
was friends with Miss Tomoko!

After all, what counts
the most are celebrities...

Don't you mean friends...?

I bought an extra copy
to get an autograph on.

You're still not good enough, Usagi.

When you want autographs,
you need at least THREE copies!

Why?

One to keep at home and look at,
one for safe storage...

...and the third to show off to others!

Rei...

She's showing one of
her bad habits again...

Walking around here
sure brings back memories...

When we turn that corner,
Tomoko's house will be right there!

Miss Makoto seems truly happy.

Of course she is!
Because she can get an autograph!

It's not that, Mina...

Soon, I'll be able to meet the
person who wrote this book...

W-What is all this!?

Miss Takase, if you don't give me
your manuscript first thing tomorrow...

Please come out!
I know you can hear us!

Literary girls like her tend to
have fans of the same gender...

But I'm willing to bet that she doesn't have
that many handsome men like me as her fan.!

I'll make her fall for me in one sh*t.!!

Y-You're kidding!
I have THAT many rivals!?

I-I can't lose to THEM!

Let me through!
Come on, let me through!

- Don't cut in line!
- Come back another day!

- I won't allow you to hog her!
- Which publisher are YOU from!?

What's wrong?

It seems like Tomoko
suddenly disappeared.

She's long overdue on
her manuscripts, too...

Impossible!

Maybe she just ran from her work?

She would never do such a thing!

Oh?

Tomoko only has her stories!
Just her stories!

Mako-chan!

Tomoko!

Mako-chan...

So you were here after all...

You haven't changed a bit.

Why did you run away?

I thought your dream was to live
writing the books you love to write!

I can't write...

I can't write!!

I sit there facing the manuscript paper,
yet not one word pops up into my head!

Tomoko...

I really can't write a story that is
better than "The Moonlit Pegasus"...

I don't have any dreams anymore!!

Wait, Tomoko...

It seems like our literary girl is in a slump...

This calls for a change of plans.

This is my perfect opportunity
to dig into her!

But...

My butt is a little cold...

Something happened?

Yeah, a little bit...

What in the world happened...?

Tomoko loved writing novels so much...

Here, come on, over here!

Stop it! Give that back!

Over here!

Why don't you try a little harder?

- Yeah, over here, over here!
- Give that back!

That's enough!

T-That's...

Damn, it's Makoto.

Let's make a run for it!

U-Um... Thank you.

If you're going to say thanks, why don't
you give those guys a couple kicks?

Oh, you're from my school...?

Yes, and I'm in your class...

Oh, sorry... I don't remember you
because I just transferred schools.

What is this?
Composition homework?

No, it isn't.

That's... my manuscript.

Manuscript?

Stop! Give that back!

I'm still reading.

I just finished writing that one,
and haven't shown it to anyone yet...

Shut up!

It's great!

I like your story.

I may not look it,
but I like books to begin with...

But this is the first time
I was drawn so much into any story.

Um, thanks...

I'm happy to hear that even
if you're just being courteous.

I'm not courteous to people I don't know.

When you write more,
I want to read it again.

Thank you!

Yo!

Mako-chan...

Thanks.

I see...

Tomoko, you like people like that guy?

When I'm looking at him,
I get one image after another for my stories...

Did you...

...ask him out?

I can't... He's very popular...

He wouldn't even look at me.

In that case,
why don't you be a little brave...

...and submit that story to
a magazine or something?

Have him read your story!

If it gets published in
some magazine and...

...becomes the talk of the town,
I'm sure he will look your way, too!

Can I do such a thing?

You can!
I guarantee it!

Mako-chan...

Hey, where's Chibiusa?

She can't possibly be...

The Moonlit Pegasus
Tomoko Takase Autograph Session

Thank you!

Next person, please...

Hello!

No matter how many
stories I write, nobody...

Nobody understands me at all!

Nobody...

Tomoko!

I saw a Pegasus!

A horse with beautiful wings, just like
the one you wrote in your story, Tomoko!

I was really touched by your story!

Because I knew someone was
seeing the same dream I was!

Same... dream...?

So, please...

I want to read more stories
written by you, Tomoko!

No, I can't write.

There's no way that I can write!

Are you going to...

...go back to what you used to be!?

Mako-chan...

Miss Usagi.

Let's leave this to Mako-chan for now.

Will you return to being a coward who keeps
all their stories hidden deep in their drawer...

...because they're embarrassed
to have others read them!?

If there's even person who'll read your story,
you would write stories just for that reader!

Wasrt that your dream!?

Tomoko, the dreams you write
about are no longer just yours!

Mako-chan...

How is it, miss?
How's your manuscript going?

Who are you?

Oh, I'm sorry for the late introduction.

I am your new editor as of today.

I'm Taiga, from Dead Publishing.
Nice to meet you.

Dead Publishing...?
I've never heard of it.

Authors who are cooped up in their
rooms tend to fall in love with their editors.

Now, with my flames of love,
I shall char your heart!

J UPITER STAR POWER...

MAKE UP!

MOON CRISIS...

MAKE UP!

I'm sure that you are just chock-full
of wonderful dreams...

I'll have a look inside them!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

SPARKLI NG...

...WI DE PRESSURE!

W-Who is it!?

I won't let you lay one finger on Tomoko!

What!?

That's right!

You, evil one, pretending to be an editor
and attempting to eat up an author's dreams!

For love and justice...

Pretty soldiers in sailor suits!

Sailor Moon!

And Sailor Chibi Moon!

In the name of the moon...

...we'll punish you!

So you're here again.

Come here, my Remless.

Tenko, life-threatening escape
artist from a time b*mb!

Tenko!

Tenko, I leave those guys up to you.

Tenko!

Okay!

First, I'll tie them up with chains!

Dammit...

SUPREME...

Hold on, if you do that...

...THUNDER!

I told you to wait...

What a sight.

Well, in the meantime, I will...

Stop it!

B-Beautiful!

But where is Pegasus?

What is this, I came here on
direct orders from Master Zirconia!

Tenko, get rid of all of them!

Tenko!

Then I'll set the timer!

W-What is this!?

A time b*mb.

In two minutes... BOOM! Okay?

- What, it's gonna go BOOM!?
- You're kidding!!

Just you try and escape!

Dammit!

It's useless! Futile!

Chains are not for beautiful maidens.

The only ones that need to be
chained are villains and violent dogs!

Tuxedo Mask!

I'll give this back to you!

Now, Chibi Moon!

Please, Pegasus!
Protect everyone's dreams!

TWI NKLE YELL!

That's... a pegasus...

Damn you!
Then, the next att*ck...

MOON GORGEOUS...

...MEDITATION!

STAGE OUT!

I don't care anymore!

Are you all right, Tomoko?

Yeah...

Mako-chan, I saw it.
A real pegasus!

Since I can still see such beautiful dreams...
I can keep writing for a while!

No, I have plenty of things to write about!

This time, not just for me,
but for everyone!

Then give it what you got!

- Bye!
- Bye-bye!

Mako-chan...

When I finish the new story,
will you read it again?

Of course!

I'm your very first reader!

Pegasus Fantasy

Dedicated to my dear friend Makoto,
and everyone who has a dream...

Since I met you...
Anata to deatte kara

...the love shining deep in my heart...
Mune no oku de hikatteru

...is too lonely...
Itoshisa ga setsunakute

...so, I quietly closed my eyes.
Shizuka ni hitomi wo tojita

Actions that mean nothing...
Nandemo nai shigusa mo

...and all those everyday words...
Goku futsuu no kotoba mo

Each time I remember them...
Omoidasu sono tabi

...I feel as though tears were going to fall.
Namida ga desou ni naru

Right now, baby, baby love.
Ima wa baby baby love

Even nights that I cry, someday we can...
Naita yoru mo itsuno hinika

...laugh reminiscing the past.
Mukashi wo natsukashinde waraiaeru

That's how I want us to be...
Watashi-tachi ni naritakute...
