12x293 - Setting Off, Spring's Wind

[bunniefuu]

The trip ends... Spring's wind

Hey, have you seen this, Hamtaro?

It's the photo from the school party!

You see this? It's a mark from some flowers we gathered thanks to everyone's help!

It means we will always be friends, no matter what!

Umm? Friends forever, no matter what?

We'll be very close now.

Oh yeah, it looks like the wind is telling me that a new experience is about to come.

Heke!

See you later! I'm going, Hamtaro!

A new experience? The wind told you about it?

Why can Laura hear something I can't?

I see. Spring comes and with it something new is born... like the sunflowers.

Jingle!

Hey! It has been a while, Hamtaro!

W-What did you say, Jingle?

What's with that surprised look?

You can't have a surprised look if you don't see anything surprising - got it, Hamtaro?

T-This is the first time!

This is the first time you called me by the right name!

Hey, hey, I never forgot your name, right?

You've always gotten it wrong!

If you say so.

Can you feel it?

This smell is telling us something.

Telling us something?

It looks like the wind is saying that a new happiness will rise.

A new happiness? What do you mean?

Well... that's something I don't know.

A new happiness under the sun.

What kind of happiness will that be? I'm so excited!

I can't wait to show Travis the festival poster!

Good morning!

Laura! There's a problem!

Travis...

Travis is transferring!

It looks like his dad got a better job, so Travis has to go too!

That's... a lie, right?

It's not a lie. Travis is really going.

Are you kidding? Why didn't you tell us about it before?

That's right, Travis!

All of a sudden!

You see... I just heard from my mom before coming here.

But I suppose you guys won't take it easily.

You'll come back soon, right?

I don't know.

Roberto, I understand your feelings, but class has to start.

But...!

I'm sorry, but it's my duty as a teacher.

We can discuss Travis later.

When are you leaving?

After the festival, I heard.

Soon it will be Spring!

I like to dig a lot in Spring.

I'll make a lot of awesome jokes!

And I'll try to have fun with everyone!

Isn't that what we do all the time?

Now that you mention it, that's right.

We won't ever change, right?

Laura, what's wrong?

It will be lonely when Travis leaves.

T-Travis is going to leave?

What I'll do if he goes far away?

Far away?

Is that Travis guy going to move far away?

If he goes far away...

Where?

Get a hold of yourself!

I'm sorry, I'll go back home!

Laura...

Are you going to keep it?

This is the ball which I first struck a goal with... it keeps good memories.

Well, we should get ready. You can finish the package later.

I won't forgive him!

Leaving Laura and going to a far away place!

Jeez!

Got it, everyone?

No matter what, we can't let Travis go far away!

Yeah!

There, there!

I won't let Laura cry ever again!

With this, he won't be able to go far away.

It was the cat's fault.

What a problem.

I'll miss everyone.

Especially Haruna.

Leave it to me, Laura!

Tomorrow I'll go to Travis's home again!

Hey, Hamtaro...

I have thought a lot. Before Travis leaves... I have to do something for him.

Listen to me.

A lot happened and it was fun. It was really fun.

My feelings won't ever change.

Goodbye! I won't forget you, Travis!

Even though it hurts so much...

Why did you have to leave? I though we would share class forever.

Laura...

The next day, we all gathered together... to say goodbye to him.

It was about time.

Travis! I hope you learned a lot!

Travis...

Don't forgot about us, okay?

This is everyone's last goodbye.

I'm sorry, but there's no more time. I'll have to go the new school.

That's why...

You're always the same, even in your last goodbye!

Roberto...

I thought I saw some tears in his eyes.

Well then, take care!

You too, Professor!

If he leaves... this is going to be... my last chance...

to say goodbye to him.

Haruna...

Umm... I...

Travis!

Get ready!

I won't forget you!

Take care.

Is it okay? You won't see him again.

It can't be helped.

This way it won't fall!

We won't let Travis go!

Huh? They're gone.

We still have a lot to do! Fight!

Everyone's doing a great job messing things up!

Okay, once more!

You're doing a good job as always.

But it won't change destiny, no matter what.

Don't you get it? Travis's destiny is set.

It is not set!

He's going far away!

It's the same thing.

That's not clear.

Unclear or clear... that's not the matter.

Then what are you saying?

I'm just saying that a goodbye is not the end.

The destiny of love is an eternal bond.

It's okay if you can't see a friend, because if you're really friends, you will keep him inside your heart.

Real friends?

Always...

Inside your heart...

A goodbye is something someone likes to hear.

But it's something no one has to worry about.

Because with the goodbye, someone can be happier.

Real friends are inside... inside your heart.

I wonder if I could see Travis again.

There she is!

After all, she really came here!

Laura, look at us!

Why is it here?

This photo means we will be friends forever no matter what!

See you, Travis!

Do your best wherever you go!

We made it in time!

Travis!

Roberto!

Take care!

Yes, you too!

Here, there are a lot of good memories in this bag! You should keep it!

I'm sorry Laura can't be here. She would like to see you.

Don't forget about Haruna!

Yeah, thanks, everyone!

You said goodbye to a lot of people in this town. I know it's kind of lonely, but when Dad finishes his job, we might go back.

What's wrong - did you forget something?

Okay, look here!

Hey, Travis!

Be quiet, this is the joy of friendship!

Hey, it hurts!

Sorry!

The joy of friendship?

The joy of friendship!

No matter what, we will always be friends!

I promise!

Here, cheese!

Mom, stop!

I'll be back in no time!

There's one person I didn't say goodbye to!

Travis!

Haruna?

Where were you? We were looking for you.

He just left.

I can still make it in time!

Haruna!

No matter what...

Yeah, from now on we will always...

be friends!

That's it, you didn't forget about the flowers!

We will always be friends!

We'll meet again for sure!

Laura looks so happy.

I'm glad.

I'm really glad.

I told you, a new happiness will come!

Jingle...

Well then, it's time for me too.

You too? Where are you going?

I'm going to look for my own happiness.

This travel is going to take a long time. I might not even come back.

I would like to see you one last time!

One last time?

By last time, you mean...

Could it be?

Isn't that what I just said?

Well, it's okay either way.

Jingle!

See you, Ham-Hams!

See ya, Hamusabro!

It was fun!

I'm not Hamusabro, I'm Hamtaro!

When you get back, we'll play again!

It's a promise!

Goodbye!

Goodbye, Jingle.

Hey, Hamtaro...

It's spring already, right?

Yeah, it's spring.
