I passed on it this time.
Pass,you mean.

" "Yes.
" Thank you,Yume.
Thanks to you,i feel like i've finally become family.
Both mom and dad They've been wanting me to come back.
I'll stay here forever.
I won't ever return to the stage Yes,Naegino residence.
Huh?Oh,um Just a moment.
Sora! It's miss Mia,someone you met in America,right? Huh? Hello,Mia? Sora!Everyone,it's Sora! She's fine.
Oh really? Thank God! I'm sorry.
I've worried you guys.
Why did you go back without saying anything? Yeahi wanted to think about some things.
Sora!You're coming back,right?! When are you coming? Everyone will be waiting! Uh,well Anyway,i'm okay! Don't worry,guys.
Bye.
Sora! Well,i would never have imagined you would come back,Sora! I thought i was dreaming or something! You're exaggerating! How long can you stay here? Yeah.
I thought i would take it slowly for a bityou know.
I see! Mom,give me another beer! Oh,how rare.
It's been a while since the whole family's been together.
It's fine once in a while! Right,right.
This is so familiar.
Very feminine.
Nice room.
Fool.
.
! You were hiding in my luggage again? I have always wanted to visit Japan at least once.
Anyway,i absolutely must meet with some Geisha and Kogyaru.
Even if you come here,it doesn't matter.
Hm? I'm not ever going back to the stage Have you really decided not to return? I've decided.
I see.
Well,the answer will reveal itself in time.
If you have abandoned the stage, then you will eventually be unable to see me.
DEMON.
.
SPIRAL! Don't worry,Mia.
Sora will definitely come back.
Yeah.
Hey!Don't space out! If you don't give instructions how are we supposed to know what to do? Oh,sorry.
Do you want to hold Leon and me back? If you don't feel like working then leave! What's her problem? Acting so high and mighty It can't be helped.
She's practically standing on top of the world.
Meaning she's clock-full of herself.
I guess so I'm glad she's gone! Finally,the year is coming to a close A lot of things have happened this year right? That's right.
I'll miss it.
But Akemashite omedeteou gozaimasu! This is more extravagant than the usual New Year's! Mom's New Year's cooking is really the greatest! Eat as much as you want! Yeah! So this is the town where Sora lives,huh? It's pretty nice place.
I thought i would get to come alone No time for daydreaming! We came to see Sora,right? But only thing we know is her address.
Getting there is the tough part I'm a cop,man! Just leave it to me.
Akeome.
What? Sora,how about a bath? The beginning of a new year calls for the cleasing of the body.
Fool,how long are you going to hang around? I'm not ever going to go back to Kaleido Stage.
Why don't you go find someone else? If that is true,why are you continuing your training? This is just a post-meal exercise! Really?Then after exercise you really must have a shower and refresh yourself.
Sora,the phone! Coming! I suppose this must be very Japanese.
Who's it from? From Kurata-san.
Eh?From Manami? Manami!Ho-How've you been? I can't believe it.
If you're coming back at least contact us! SSorry.
Sayaka and Miki are coming over there.
So let-s have a New Year's Party at your house.
R.
.
Right Chotto,suimasen! Another one,huh? Japan is filled with loons,isn't it? No,i think this is the normal reaction.
This time i'll try asking.
Chotto,suimasen! Who's he? Oh,God! He's super hot! Awesome!Are you some foreign soccer player or something? No!He's some movie star! No way!Let's take a picture!A picture! Um Ex.
.
excuse me.
.
Do you know Sora? Just one more photo! Sora!! Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu! Ah!I haven't seen you guys in forever! Come on in! We're coming in! But you know,i never would've thought you would actually go to America! Re.
.
really? Normally,no one would believe so.
I was surprised too! I heard before that your dream was to become a Kaleido Star but Manami has seen Sora's stage before right? Yeah,i saw the Mistical Act.
Hey,hey!How was it? Hmmm,that;s right It was like They were flying in the sky together.
It was strange but.
.
When i watched it,it was like power was welling up from within me.
That's what it felt like.
I would have liked to see it.
I'm jealous of you,Sora,getting a main role all of a sudden.
Sayaka got into seiyuu iffice! What?!Amazin!Are you going to be in anime and stuff? Well,about that you know At the last audition you know I lasted until the final selections but I was cut.
Come on!Come on!Don't sweat it.
You'll get it next time! Yeah.
.
Oh well,i guess it jut means i need to work hard and get better! Come to think of it,Miki said she wanted to become a mangaka.
I'm just taking a normal junior college practice course.
I've decided to continue manga as a hobby.
That's a shame.
You're so good at drawing manga! Well,you know,if you make it your job,it can get quite stressful.
If i do that,i would end up hating drawing manga.
But i want to stay liking manga forever.
That's so like the realistic Miki.
Guess so! And?What about Sora,who made her dream come true instantly? Why so gloomy? We.
.
well,a whole a lot things have happened Hey!Show us some stuff! Yeah,sounds great! It's New Year's after all! It's okay,right? Yeah Awesome! How can you do that stuff? You look cool! This applause It's different from when i was at the Festival.
I wonder what's different The cheering and the feelings of the audience are the same Am i the one that's different? Right now i'm having fun.
I'm having fun with Manami and everyone.
Yes.
A stage where everyone has fun.
That is the Kaleido Stage i love.
I wanted to perfom on that king of stage.
Bravo! She's the real thing! I'm moved! Well,this is where we part.
Okay! Someday i'm gonna come see your theatre,Sora! Uh.
.
Me too!Me too! Bye! Yeah! You know,i've decided to go to college.
That doesn't mean i've given up on my dream of becoming a beauty artist.
I'll take my time and carefully talk things out with my parents.
Oh? The reason i've become able to think like this is thanks to you,Sora! Thanks to me? Of course! When i saw you working hard, i felt like really chasing after my dream.
Sora,you gave me a dream.
I did? Is your return to Japan and forfeiting the Circus Festival connected in some way? Oh,you knew? I checked it out on the internet.
Well,it's not just that.
Your mother's been worried about you.
À? She called me.
"Sora's been feeling down so please keep her company.
" She was kinda troubled.
I ran away from Kaleido Stage.
That's fine.
As long as you're not regretting it.
You prefer doing things before planning them out, instead of planning,doubting,and finally regretting not doing anything at all.
You've been saying that since we were in school.
That's why if you are.
t regretting anything,the there's no problem.
But if you really are Then how about trying with a fresh start? You really do want to return!Just go back bearing your shame.
I believe the Sora who can do those things.
.
is way cool.
Manami.
.
When i meet you in America, i told you i came to find out if you were regretting it or not,right? Yeah It sounds selfish but i don't want to see you regretting right now,Sora.
What do you think ? You're doing suddenly biting people's heads? Are we just going to have to wait around? Don't underestimate me just because i don't understand your words! You're gonna be crying! Mr.
Policeman? Oh,Sora!I've been looking for you! Incidentally,Ken tagged along.
Oh,wow! Incidentally Sorry.
All i've been doing is making everyone worry.
The rehearsal for the New Year's stage is on hold for a while so i came.
New Year's stage? May and Leon's return performance.
It's starting tomorrow,so i have to go back already.
But we just met! It's unfortunate,but we've already bought tickets for the next flight home.
I see.
You'll come back right,Sora? Sora,don't tell me you're Even if someone like me returns to the present Kaleido Stage, i think i'd just get in everyone's way.
When you forfeited at the Festival, i was a little relieved.
Rather than the Sora who could put up a front and continue performing like that, the crying Sora who couldn't perform is what suits you.
If you don't like conflict,then just make a stage without any! Me?Make one? Sora's own fun,shining stage.
I want to see more of that! The happy,ebergetic Sora is who i really Huh? I do I love.
Ken I love her too! I love that Sora more than anything! As fan number one,i want to see Sora's stage as soon as possible! Right?Fan number two! Huh?Me? Fan number two?! Huh? We fans will always love Sora! What i was trying to say was WE LOVE SORA! I will make a conflict-free,fun Kaleido Stage "Become my dream.
" "I know you can become" "The true Kaleido Star!" "All of the answers lay inside of you.
" "Don't lose sight of that dream.
Keep pursuing it" "Then the path to becoming the Tru Kaleido Star will appear before you.
" That's right.
I will make a conflict-free Kaleido Stage everyone can enjoy.
That is the dream of the real me.
The path to the Kaleido Star shoul then appear! What's wrong? Thank you,Ken! I will return to Kaleido Stage again! Definitely.
We'll be waiting.
When that happens,i'll go to the airport to pick you up! Yeah!Thanks! I see.
Right.
That's best isn't it.
Thank you,Manami.
Same to you.
Let's do our best.
That's why i came back this time I'm sorry for telling you a such pathettic story.
And so i've been thinking i really do want to go back So.
.
Mama.
.
Here,take this.
What is this? Sora,you won't be going to visit the temple after all.
A charm? Take care of your body okay? Thank you.
Keep on trying until you understand everything.
Yeah.
Yume,big sister's gonna give it another shot! Oh,Yume,you kidder! One more timeI'm going to try one more time! This time i will definitely not lose sight of my dream.
Definitely! The fog od doubt seems to have cleared.
When i know the path,i can take it easy.
It's time to take it out.
Hurry up(Here we go) Only through force Drive at top speed The best view is always overlooked.
I wanna let it Memory Harbor light Starry night.
Escape for tomorrow's sake There is no vacantion, But i get an oasis I turn my cell phone off To go charge it up on love Gentleness alone will not heal me Because the pain is still there We are alone,passed by each other What's going on? Until the misunderstanding is resolved, And the true hearts meet in tears on smiles I'll be with you! Aripile mele sunt visul meu si cu ele,spre cer voi zbura.
.
