Memories of the Past

 **Tsukasa:**Great, looks like the props are in better shape than I expected!

 **Aruru:**We're back!

 **Misora:**Dang it, Aruru! How many times do I have to tell you to put your shoes away?

 **Aruru:**Heh heh, thanks for doing it for me, Misora!

 **Tsukasa:**Oh, hey. You got back at just the right time.

 **Aruru:**Tsukasa-chan! Whoa, look at the living room...

 **Misora:**It's full of Captain Twins props!

 **Tsukasa:**Yeah! Thought I'd get 'em ready for the performance, so I brought a few home.

 **Tsukasa:**Considering the format of the contest, it'd be kinda hard to check them at school... And we're shorthanded this time.

 **Misora:**Speaking of which, where's Lalafin-senpai...?

 **Tsukasa:**She's still gluing herself to Shizuha to try and change her mind. I swear, they're both so stubborn...

 **Tsukasa:**We just have to divide and conquer.

 **Misora:**Yeah, you're right...!

 **Misora:**Okay! Let's help her, Aruru—

***\*swish\*!***

 **Misora:**Whoa, what's this giant cloth!?

 **Aruru:**Heh heh, it's the pirate flag we all made together☆ And over here is the treasure map! And our costumes!

 **Misora:**G-Great, already cranking it up to eleven...

 **Tsukasa:**Ahaha! It wasn't even that long ago, and I'm getting a little nostalgic. Especially because it was so special to us.

 **Misora:**Yeah. Like, this flag was—

 **Tsukasa:**Hrrm, what to do...

 **Aruru:**Oh no! It's Tsukasa-chan's pouty face!

 **Misora:**Ngo gidding...

 **Misora:**Hey, why're you pulling on MY cheeks!?

 **Aruru:**I thought it'd make Tsukasa-chan smile again.

 **Misora:**Use yourself for that!

 **Tsukasa:**Pff, ahaha! Thanks... But I wasn't depressed, or anything. I'm fine!

 **Tsukasa:**I was just thinking about the Jolly Roger's design.

 **Aruru:**Jolly...?

 **Misora:**Roger? Huh?

 **Tsukasa:**Yeah! You know, the flag.

 **Aruru:**Oh, you mean the flag they use on pirate ships!? I didn't know it had a cool name like that!

 **Tsukasa:**Yeah. There's any number of theories as to where it came from, though.

 **Tsukasa:**You can't have pirates without a pirate ship, and you can't have a pirate ship without that distinctive flag, right?

 **Misora:**Yeah! With the creepy black background...

 **Aruru:**And the spoooky skull and crossbones!

 **Tsukasa:**Yeah, you're right...

 **Tsukasa:**Hey, do you know why there's a skull on the Jolly Roger?

 **Misora:**Was it like a warning? Like, stay away from us, or we're gonna getcha!

 **Aruru:**What? But the Frontier Gold doesn't have pirates like that!

 **Aruru:****(Dorothy)**
"Dreams aren't just for the imagination! They're there to be found!"

 **Tsukasa:**Haha, exactly, Captain. That's what has me so worried.

 **Tsukasa:**Our pirate crew is more like a bunch of Robin Hoods, right? I was wondering if we should be so quick to use a skull and crossbones.

 **Tsukasa:**So I was trying to think of a new design, but I couldn't come up with anything that feels right...

 **Aruru:**Oh, is that all? I got this!

 **Tsukasa:**What? You can design a flag!?

 **Misora:**She's always loved drawing, and she's pretty good at it. She even came up with the logo for my family's Sky Blue Theater Troupe. And everybody loved it!

 **Aruru:**Heh heh, you bet! Our flag may look like a dangerous, piratey skull and crossbones from afar...

 **Aruru:**But when the bright colors lure you in for a closer look, it's a noble, shining star!

 **Aruru:**And then I'll cross the weapons to reflect how we have two captains...♪

 **Tsukasa:**Wow, you're already done...

 **Aruru:**Heh heh, all that's left is the flag for Shizuha-chan's Ice Realm!

 **Aruru:**She comes off as scary and strong, so we'll keep the skull and crossbones, and just add some cool-looking wings...

 **Tsukasa:**—Back when I first met you two, I was really surprised you had that side to you.

 **Tsukasa:**Not just that Aruru could draw, but also that she was so expressive.

 **Misora:**Yeah... She's just been like that ever since we were little.

 **Misora:**She's always giving things 120% and trying all kinds of ways to make people happy, so I guess it's only natural she got so good at—

 **Misora:**...Wait, shoot, I'm rambling!

 **Tsukasa:**Haha, you've been watching her real close for a long time, huh?

 **Tsukasa:**I get why you'd ramble. My classmates get on my case all the time for talking about you guys so much. You're the best family ever. Can't help it, right?

 **Misora:**Yeah...!

 **????:**"That's right! We're the biggest, best family there is!"

 **Misora:**Huh...?

 **Tsukasa:**Hmm?

 **Aruru:****(Dorothy)**
"Onward, to the raging sea! Unfurl the sails and full speed ahead!"

 **Misora:**H-Hey, Aruru! What are you doing in your costume!?

 **Tsukasa:**Weeell, I was just gonna check and make sure it's okay...

 **Tsukasa:**Something tells me we're not finishing this today!

Pirate Ships and Treasure

 **Misora:**Dang it, Aruru! Tsukasa-senpai said we're just doing a quick check of the props today...

 **Aruru:**But I just couldn't sit still! My costume was calling to me, begging me to be Dorothy!

 **Misora:**That's just your inner voice!

 **Tsukasa:**Ahaha, it's all good! Makes it easier to check! How's it feel, Aruru?

 **Aruru:**Perfect! I'm all hyped up and I just wanna go looking for the treasure of the sea right this...

 **Aruru:**Huh? Come to think of it... What are we doing for the Gold Welle again?

 **Misora:**We did give the treasure a name this time since it's a new play.

 **Tsukasa:**Yeah. And it's a really distinctive name, too, so we should probably make something brand-new for it.

 **Aruru:**Ooh, making treasure sounds like fun!

 **Misora:**But all I can think of for "a treasure of the sea" is just, like, a chest full of gold coins.

 **Tsukasa:**And considering the restrictions we're dealing with, we can't go with anything too elaborate.

 **Aruru:**How about a really big jewel you can hold in one hand!?

 **Misora:**I like it! It'd help if we had a reference picture of a real one, though...

 **Aruru:**Is there even such a thing as treasure in the sea?

 **Tsukasa:**Well, most of it probably comes from sunken ships.

 **Aruru:**Sunken ships!

 **Tsukasa:**Yeah. Apparently there's one area of the ocean where they found ten thousand of them. I heard they had a lot of jewels and precious metals.

 **Aruru:**Wow... And here I thought it was supposed to be something really cool that someone hid for you.

 **Misora:**Come on, that's only in the movies...

 **Tsukasa:**That's a thing, too.

**Misora & Aruru:**Huh!?

 **Tsukasa:**Have you heard of William Kidd? Or just Captain Kidd... He was an infamous pirate around the late 1600s and early 1700s.

 **Tsukasa:**One time, there were rumors that his legendary hidden treasure is somewhere in Japan.

 **Aruru:**Whoooaaa!

 **Misora:**S-So was the treasure ever...

 **Tsukasa:**Heh heh...!

 **Tsukasa:**...Makes you wonder how those rumors started when nobody's ever seen it, huh?

 **Misora:**D-Don't scare me like that! So it really is still missing!

 **Misora:**But there's probably rumors like that all over the world. And people dream of finding it, so they gather a crew and—

 **Aruru:**Oh!

 **Misora:**Wh-What? What's the matter, Aruru?

 **Aruru:**Like, you know, like...

 **Aruru:**I just realized treasure hunting is just like the stage!

 **Misora:**Huh...?

 **Aruru:**You all imagine something and pursue it until you reach something unique that nobody's ever seen before...

 **Aruru:**See? They're totally the same!

 **Misora:**You're right...!

 **Tsukasa:**Ahaha, it makes a weird sort of sense. By that logic, we're always aboard a pirate ship.

 **Aruru:**Oooooh, I got the jitters! Come on, let's go straight to—

 **Misora:**Whoa whoa whoa, we're supposed to be checking the props!

 **Tsukasa:**Yeah...

 **Tsukasa:****(Ma'am)**
"We have to do maintenance on the ship to find a new treasure, Mary!"

 **Misora:****(Mary)**
"Yeah... Hey, Captain! How's the wind looking!?"

 **Aruru:****(Dorothy)**
"Heh heh, wind, check! Orientation, check!"

 **Aruru:****(Dorothy)**
"Onward to the high sea! Let's go find us a dream nobody's ever found before!"

 **Misora:**That's the spirit! Let's get this taken care of!

 **Aruru:**Yeah! You know, Misora...

 **Aruru:**I'm glad I got on this ship! Now that I have such a great family, I'm as happy as can be!

 **Misora:**Is that your line, or Dorothy's?

 **Aruru:**Eh heh heh... Both, of course!

 **Aruru:**Captain Twins is back! I'm so happy we get to board that ship again!

 **Aruru:**The story of Captain Twins changes every time we perform it. One reason for that is because the script has lots of ad lib scenes!

 **Aruru:**And in our performance this time, we've changed a lot of tiny details. The ring's backstory, the name of the treasure of the sea, even how everyone meets!

 **Aruru:**What doesn't change is how we have two captains! Just like me and Misora's relationship, we're a two-in-one deal♪
