p 104	[Madoka is taking a shower]
p 105	Madoka		Ah.
	Madoka		I haven't been smoking ever since that day.
	Kyosuke		If you smoke from Junior High, you wont have
			healthy kids!!
p 106	Madoka		Heh.
	Madoka		Funny.  I've been keeping his word.
	Madoka		Teachers and other people have said the same
			thing, but...
	narration	I never listened.
	narration	Kasuga Kyosuke.  Weird guy.
	Madoka		A nice day!  I think I'll go to the park.
p 107	Kyosuke		Ah, Nakaganacho Station.
	Kyosuke		What?  It's only eleven.
			I came here too early.  I've got another two hours.
	{begin flashback}
	Kyosuke		What?
	Kyosuke		A... a date?  With me?
	Hikaru		Yes.  Is next Sunday OK with you?
	Kyosuke		Ah.. well, yes.  I'm open.
p 108	Hikaru		Lucky!  Hikaru happy!!
	Hikaru		Hey, what are you looking at?  Do you want your ass
			kicked?
	Hikaru		Then I'll see you in front of Nakaganacho Station
			at one o'clock on Sunday!
	Kyosuke		Ah, wait!  Hika...
	narration	I was astonished because it went so fast.
	Kyosuke		[something]
	{end flashback}
	narration	I didn't feel bad because...
	narration	...this is the first time a girl asked me out!
p 109	sign		Keep the town clean
	narration	That's...
	narration	Hey, wait!
	narration	I'm not going to make it.
p 110	narration	What the heck.
	woman		[something]
	Kyosuke		Thank you, miss.
	woman		!?  You're welcome.
	Madoka		Oh.
	Kyosuke		Hi.
	Madoka		Good morning.
p 111	Kyosuke		Good morning.
	narration	I've got to take that tension that is between us
			since that disco.
	Kyosuke		Isn't it a nice day?
	Madoka		You think so?  I think it is a little cloudy.
	Kyosuke		Y..yeah.  There are some clouds out.
	Kyosuke		Hey, that cloud!
	Kyosuke		It looks like my sister Kurumi.  And the two on the
			right look like an ice cream and a hamburger.
	Kyosuke		Kurumi is a food freak.  But she can't get to either
			one and is getting left behind.
p 112	Kyosuke		What do you call that?  Um, ah...
	Madoka		"A person that goes after two rabbits
			won't even get one"
	Madoka		Girls are all food freaks.  It's not just your
			sister.
	Kyosuke		Hey!  That cloud on the right looks like Ayukawa!
			And the cloud that's chasing it...
	Kyosuke		... looks like me.
	Madoka		That doesn't look like a face.  It looks more like
			the sole of your shoes.
	Kyosuke		The sole of my shoes!?
	Madoka		?
	Madoka		By the way, where are you going?
	voice		Kouenmae... Kouenmae...
	Kyosuke		I don't know.  I guess up to this station.
p 113	Kyosuke		I came along with her.  What am I doing?
	man		Hey, great looking chick!  My type.
p 114	Kyosuke		Ayukawa looks sexy today.
	narration	Is it because she's wearing normal clothes?  She
			doesn't look like a high school student.
	boy 1		She looks hot.
	boy 2		Who's the kid with her?
	narration	If we walk together like this...
	narration	... we look like a big lister walking with her
			kid brother.
	Madoka		You want to get on that?
	Kyosuke		B...boat?
p 115	Madoka		Isn't it great?  I used to always come to ride boats.
	Madoka		The hardest part about rowing a boat is to make it 
			go straight.
	Madoka		Would you like to row?
	Kyosuke		No.  I don't want to do it today.
	narration	She looks happy today.  She's a different person
			at shchool.
	Madoka		Whoops!
	Kyosuke		Wah!
	Kyosuke		Hey!  That's bad for the heart!
	Madoka		Sorry, sorry!  <laughs>
p 116	Madoka		Let's see... you're afraid of the water.
	Kyosuke		Something.
	Kyosuke		No...ah...uh... (You're close).
	Madoka		You can't swim!
	Kyosuke		Well, yes.
	Madoka		Don't brag about it.
	Kyosuke		Sorry.
	woman		<scream!>
	woman		Fumiki!  Help!!
p 117	Kyosuke		His feet won't reach the bottom.
	Kyosuke		It's pretty deep under the bridge.  Let's take
			the boat.
	Madoka		No.  The oars will get caught in the weeds.
	Kyosuke		Help!!
	Kyosuke		Hey, wait!
	Madoka		What are you talking about?  He's going to drown!
	Kyosuke		I'll go!
p 118	Madoka		But you can't swim!
	Kyosuke		It's all right.  That was a lie.
	narration	Ayukawa is watching so I can't use my powers.
	Kyosuke		But this is a man's job.  And she's watching me...
	Kyosuke		God!
p 119	Kyosuke		[something]
	narration	During that time...
	narration	... I don't know what happened...
	narration	... I don't remember what I did...
	woman		Fumiki!!
	narration	... just...
p 120	narration	... when I realized it the child's mother was
			thanking me and ...
	Madoka		You'll catch a cold.
	narration	... Ayukawa was nice, too.
	Madoka		How many cubes?
	Kyosuke		One, thank you.
	Madoka		You told me you couldn't swim.
	Kyosuke		Y..yeah.  (I don't know how I did it.)
p 121	narration	I don't remember using my powers.
	narration	Maybe because Ayukawa was watching me.
	Kyosuke		Is there something on my face?
	Madoka		Plankton.
	Kyosuke		What?
	Kyosuke		?
	Kyosuke		You can't see that!
	Madoka		<laughs>
	Madoka		Us being together like this seems like a date.
	Kyosuke		D...date!?
p 122	Kyosuke		Ah!
	Kyosuke		I had a date with Hikaru!
	Madoka		Hikaru...?
	Kyosuke		Oops.
	Madoka		You had a date with Hikaru!?
	Kyosuke		Um...err...
	Madoka		I've got to leave now.
	Madoka		Bye.
	Kyosuke		Ah, what about your jacket?
	Madoka		Wash it before you return it!!
	narration	Ayukawa...
	narration	And for the date with Hikaru, I'm...
	narration	...three and a quarter hours late!
	Kyosuke		Ah!
	narration	"A person that goes after two rabbits..."
	blackboard	Kyosuke is a JERK!!
	narration	"...won't even get one!"
	Kyosuke		[something]


Character Profile:  Kasuga Manami

Kouriyougakuen Junior High School, 1st year.
We don't have our mother with us, so I take care of the household.
You want to see me with my glasses off?  Maybe next time!
Which is cuter, me or Kurumi?
Of course... but we two look alike.  But I'm not [something] as Kurumi.
