p 82	Kyosuke		A disco?
	Kyosuke		Isn't that a place where you pick up girls and do
			yyy thing with them?
	Komatsu		Where did you get that idea?
	Komatsu		<ahem>  Listen.  In a disco there is a thing called
			"cheek time", and...
	Komatsu		... as the bodies touch each other the night passes
			on and you can get to be friends with girls and do
			yyy and zzz things with them.
	Kyosuke		Isn't that what I said?
	Komatsu		Do you want to go tonight?
	Kyosuke		I don't want to go.
p 83	Komatsu		Why not?
	Kyosuke		We're still in Junior High.
	Kyosuke		In this school we're not even allowed to go to a
			cofee shop, much less a disco!
	Kyosuke		If the school finds out, we'll be kicked out of
			school.
	Komatsu		That's no problem.  I heard Ayukawa goes there all
			the time and she doesn't get caught.
	narration	Ayukawa?
	Komatsu		You'll be safe.  And there's cheek time too!
	Kyosuke		Is that all you can think of?
	narration	Cheek time.  I can imagine Ayukawa...
	narration	...dancing with me.
	Kyosuke		Well, maybe just a little while.
	Komatsu		Ok!
p 84	Komatsu		Here, you can take these.  It's not a big deal,
			but...
	Kyosuke		What's this?
	Komatsu		Free tickets to the disco.
	Kyosuke		"A free ticket for you..."
	Kyosuke		"Ladies Only"!?
	Komatsu		Give them to your sister.  [something]
	Kyosuke		You're telling me to bring my sisters?
	Komatsu		Of course.
	narration	So he asked me come along to get my sisters and
			cheek!
	Kyosuke		I'm not going.
p 85	Komatsu		You're not?
	Kyosuke		NO!!
	narration	I can't bring my sisters into a place like that!
	Komatsu		Didn't you say you were willing to do something for
			us when you lost us the basketball game?
	Kyosuke		Ah... [something]
	Komatsu		A man should keep his promise!
	Komatsu		I'll wait for you in front of the disco at 7PM.
	Kyosuke		H..hey!  Komatsu, wait!
	narration	That bastard.
	voice		Madoka!
p 86	Hikaru		Sorry for making you wait.
	Madoka		Hikaru, are you going tonight?
	Hikaru		Of course!
	Kyosuke		That's the girl I bumped into yesterday...
	Kyosuke		She's always with Ayukawa.
	Kyosuke		Even though it was a coincidence she better not
			have told Ayukawa about the kiss.
	Kyosuke		As I look at her now, she's pretty cute.
	Kyosuke		What am I saying!?
p 87	twins		Welcome back.
	Manami		You're late
	Kyosuke		I was on the cleanup team.
	Kurumi		Dinner's ready.
	Kyosuke		Ah, Manami?  Dis...
	Manami		Oh yes.  Dad said he won't be back for 2 or 3 days.
	Kyosuke		Work?
	Manami		I think so.  He told me to give you his regards.
	narration	I see.  I've got to look after these two.
	Manami		Kurumi, don't start eating yet.
	Kyosuke		I don't think we should go.
	Kurumi		What's this?  <snatch>
	Kyosuke		Hey, what are you doing?
p 88	Kurumi		What?  A ticket to the disco?
	Kurumi		Look, look, Manami!  This is a disco ticket!
	Manami		Disco?
	Kyosuke		Kurumi!
	Manami		"Disco 'Moebius' Free Ticket.  Ladies Only"
	Kurumi		Yeah!  Banzai!  It's free!
	Kurumi		So what's for free?  What's a disco?
	Kyosuke		<sigh>
	Manami		I'd like to go, but we're still in Junior High.
			Let's go when we're older.  The disco won't run
			away.
	Kurumi		Hey!  Hey!  What's a disco?
	Kyosuke		Don't start again!  Pipe down!
p 89	Kyosuke		A disco is a place where you get alcohol and rock
			and you can feel good.
	Kyosuke		That didn't come out right...
	Kurumi		It feels good?
	Manami		It's a place where they have a lot of lights and
			you can eat and dance.  You can eat as much as you
			want.
	Kurumi		Lots of lights, gaudy, and all you can eat...
	Kurumi		I wanna go!  I wanna go!  I wanna go!!!
	Kyosuke		No!  No!  No!
	Kyosuke		I'll buy you a takoyaki[?] next time.
	Kurumi		You stingy bum!
p 90	Manami		Oh no!  Kyosuke!
	Kyosuke		What?  Kurumi's not home?
	Manami		I heard the door open so I went to see, and Kurumi's
			shoes were gone.
	Kyosuke		Where would she go?
	Kurumi		IwannagoIwannagoIwannago!!!
	both		Ah!!
	Kyosuke		Maybe she went to the disco?
	Manami		But you need a ticket to get in, and the ticket is
			right here.
	Manami		See?
	Kyosuke		Where's the other one?
	both		OH NO!
p 91	Kurumi		Phew.  Messed up the landing.
	bouncer		Welcome.  One guest.
p 92	Komatsu		They're late.
	Komatsu		I guess they're not coming.
	Kyosuke		Did someone see us?
	Manami		It's all right.
	bouncer		Welcome.
	Kyosuke		Uh?  Oh, yeah.
p 93	Kyosuke		What noise...
	Kyosuke		Do you think she's here?
	Manami		Let's look for her!
	Kyosuke		I'll look on this side.  Manami, you look on that side.
	Manami		OK!
p 94	Kyosuke		Manami!
	Manami		Yes?
	Kyosuke		If someone tries to harm you, you can use your powers.
	Manami		Ok.
	narration	These discos... what a place... scary.  <bump>
	Hikaru		Hey, watch out, man!
	Kyosuke		Sorry!
p 95	Kyosuke		Ah!
	narration	D..Darling!!
	Hikaru		I didn't know he came to discos.
	Kyosuke		If she's here, maybe...
	Hikaru		This is great!
	Kyosuke		Are you here alone?
	Hikaru		No.
	Hikaru		You know Madoka, don't you?  Great.  She's right there.
p 96	Kyosuke		She's here.
	Hikaru		Won't you dance?
	Kyosuke		W..what?  No, that's not what I came here for.
	Manami		<search>
	Kurumi		<munch>
	Manami		Ah!
	Manami		Kurumi!
	Kurumi		<gulp!>
	Manami		Finally caught you.  Let's go home.  Let's go...
	Kurumi		<choke>
p 97	clubgoer	Oh!
	clubgoer	It's Cheek Time!
	narration	What?
	Hikaru		I wish I could do that.
	narration	This is a great chance to get close to Darling!
p 98	Kyosuke		W..wha...what?
	Hikaru		Do you know how to dance cheek?
	Kyosuke		Uh?  N..no.
	Hikaru		It's easy.  You go like this...
	Kyosuke		<blush>
p 99	narration	She smells good... sweet & sour.
	narration	Aah.  I feel my head turning to jelly...
	narration	What should I do?
	narration	What did I come here for?
	Kyosuke		Ayukawa's watching... it shouldn't matter,
			but I kind of feel bad.
p 100	Kyosuke		Ayukawa looks like she's in a bad mood.
	clubgoer	Hey, are you alone?  Do you want to dance?
	Madoka		Let's see...
	Madoka		Ok.
	Kyosuke		What!?
	clubgoer	You're cute.  What's your name?
p 101	narration	Ayukawa... with that creep?
	narration	That goes the same for me.
			Dancing cheek in front of Ayukawa.
			I have no right to say anything, but...
	Kurumi		Isn't this pizza delicious?  <munch>
	Manami		We're going home after this one.
	policeman	What are you doing here?  Aren't you still in
			Junior High?
	Komatsu		Um... yes... no...
