"Everyone, Kaleido Star is about to start!" "When watching Kaleido Star, please keep the room brightly lit, and sit as far from the TV as you can." "I'm Sora Naegino." "I came to America all by myself with aspirations of joining Kaleido Stage." "Everything is new to me, but I'm doing my best in the spirit of "try it rather than think about it."" "There's nothing I can't do if I try and if I can do it without trying, I'd be super lucky." "And if I'm gonna do it, I just gotta do it!" "Gotta!" "Gotta!" "That's me." "Well, well, well, everyone, do you have a pet at home?" "A pet that you feed and take on walks." "They can be quite troublesome." "But still, they're adorable, aren't they?" "After all, they're a member of the family." "No matter how much he's against it," "I'm not gonna give up this time either!" "Not gonna!" "Not gonna!"

"In the show, the performance of a trio of new-comers as the fairy godmothers was fascinating during the climactic scene." "We will be watching these girls in the future." "We will be watching!" "Yes, watch us!" "The paper's praising us!" "We did it!" "We did it!" "We did it!" "We did it!" "We did it!" "We did it!" "Wow!" "I'm so happy!" "What's this?" "This is... a baby seal?" "The Amazing Seal" "The Amazing Seal" "He must have gotten separated from his parents." "Poor baby." "Well, I'll be gone for just a bit." "Please take care of him, Fool." "What?" "!" "Take care of him?" "What am I suppose to do?" "For the time being," "I shall try reading your fortune!" "The upright Hanged Man." "This card represents ordeals or sacrifices." "It may bring misfortune." "Yes?" "Oh, can you see me?" "!" "You are wrong if you think you can be a Kaleido Star just because you can see me!" "Good morning, Sora." "Sora?" "I'm hungry." "I wonder if she left for the dining hall already?" "A misfortune is befalling me." "What's with this paper?" "They're praising the fairy godmothers." "They have no eye for talent." "It's like, if I were doing it, they would've praised us more." "Hey, you'll hurt her feelings if she hears you." "Oh, that would be like, awful." "I should be careful." "Oh, you're right here." "Sorry." "Sorry." "Let's see..." "Good morning." "Oh, good morning, Ken." "Something bothering you?" "I was just wondering what he would like." "He?" "Yeah." "I met him this morning when I was jogging on the beach." "He's cute, round, chubby, small, and he's very hungry." "What type of guy do you like?" "Guy?" "I'm not talking about any guy." "He's a seal." "Se..." "Seal?" "Yes." "Please don't tell me you brought him home." "Well..." "You brought him?" "But he was hungry and I felt sorry for him." "So I'm not allowed to keep him?" "Come with me." "Oh, okay." "But, he's still small and he's probably just a baby." "He was weak, and he looked like he could die at any moment." "So I wanted to do something for him." "Seals eat fresh fish." "Thank you." "You have to return him to the sea once he recovers, all right?" "Okay." "Huh?" "It's open." "Thanks for waiting." "It's time for your meal." "What are you doing, Fool?" "I can't believe this!" "He's not here!" "I'm in trouble!" "Rather, it is I who is in trouble." "No, he's not there." "Maybe he went back to the sea." "No way!" "Are you looking for him?" "So he's your friend." "Oh, Jonathan!" "What?" "!" "Who's Jonathan?" "It scared me." "This little guy was scooting down the hallway." "He was dragging this." "Sorry about that." "Isn't he adorable?" "Is there any way for me to keep him?" "What?" "!" "Keep him?" "!" "Didn't you just promise to let him go after feeding him?" "I think Jonathan could be a mascot for Kaleido Stage." "Right, Jonathan?" "Oh, I'm in trouble!" "I've got lessons to go to!" "Would you please look after him for a little while?" "!" "What?" "!" "Hey!" "She does everything in her own way." "Well, that's what's so great about her too." "Good morning!" "Good morning!" "Did you read it?" "Did you read it?" "I did!" "I did!" "I did!" "The paper!" "You there!" "Quiet down!" "Yes, sir." "This is a message from Kalos." "Although the paper praised your performance, the Triple Illusion is far from perfect." "Do not get carried away and lose your focus." "That's all." "Why can't he say that to us himself?" "I heard that Kalos will be in Seattle for a week to attend a new production meeting." "A new production?" "It seems to be the meeting for the next production after Cinderella." "Big projects like these take time to prepare for." "Really?" "I didn't know that." "So basically, we'll be fine as long as we don't make mistakes." "Right." "Let's practice hard for our Triple Illusion." "Yeah." "All right, just you watch, Kalos!" "I'll make you burst out laughing!" "That's not it." "What's this?" "What the hell is this?" "!" "Jonathan!" "Who?" "!" "Um, I found him at the beach." "I'm sorry for scaring you." "What are you thinking?" "Well, he was hungry and I felt sorry for him, so..." "You can barely perform your own duties." "There is no way you can look after an animal." "But..." "Take him back right now!" "Sorry," "I took my eyes off him for just a second." "No, it's okay." "I asked some veteran staff members, but they said that Kaleido Stage has never had any animals." "That seems to be Kalos' policy." "Maybe it's a good thing this happened while Kalos was away." "You can't keep him, Sora." "But he's still just a baby." "I don't think he can't survive by himself." "He's small, but he'll eat quite a lot of food." "The cost of feeding him won't be cheap." "I'm getting a performer's pay now." "And I'm going to start a part-time job tomorrow." "What?" "!" "Part-time job?" "You have lessons during the day and performances in the evening!" "Sora, now is the most important time for us." "I know." "I know that, but..." "After my parents died, I was all alone." "If no one had opened their arms," "I'm sure I wouldn't be here right now." "That's why I can't abandon him." "You can call me a hypocrite, but I just can't abandon him." "Don't worry," "I'll work harder than ever on my performance." "Thank you for letting me use your bath." "You're welcome." "But are you really okay?" "Yup." "Good night." "Good night." "I'm home." "How do you like it, Jonathan?" "I'm sorry to keep you in such a cramped place." "The inside of the drawer is also cramped." "When I have time off, let's go to the beach." "The beach!" "Wearing a bathing suit is the best way for us to get to know each other." "Just the two of us, Jonathan!" "She treats me worse than animals." "All right." "That is all for today's lesson." "Thank you." "for today's lesson." "Thank you." "Sora!" "What?" "!" "There she goes." "Thank you for waiting." "Here's your Pirate Pizza." "Two orders of Chef's Special," "Bolognése linguine." "The main entrees are sea bass and lobster." "Signorina, here's today's pay.s and lobster." "Yes, thank you!" "But are you really sure you want fresh fish instead of money everyday?" "Yes, he eats a lot of fish, so this will help." "Well, I have to go now." "He must really love fish." "Here!" "That's all." "You still want more?" "!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Job well done." "Thanks." "Wasn't our timing for the cross jump just perfect today?" "Yeah, I wish Kalos could have seen it." "Kalos just had to be gone when we did it right." "Anyway, Sora, are you going to work after this again today?" "Yeah." "You've been working non-stop for a whole week, right?" "You shouldn't push yourself too much." "Don't worry, don't worry." "You broke one again?" "!" "Break another one and you're fired." "I'm sorry." "I have the day off tomorrow, no performance or lessons." "Just hang in there a little longer." "I'm home." "What was that?" "!" "Sora?" "!" "Well, I just missed dinner." "So I ran out of energy and I got dizzy." "That's not "dizzy"!" "Okay!" "Here." "That's why I told you not to push yourself too much!" "Sorry."

"So we have no choice but to help you." "Hold on." "I think it can be done if we take turns." "Yeah, I agree." "No, this is Jonathan and my problem, so..." "This is our problem too!" "Mia..." "Isn't that right?" "Oh, I just remember something!" "Juggling contest?" "That's right." "This is an annual event held on the outdoor stage at the beach." "All the jugglers who are confident in their skill participate in the contest." "The contest is... three days from now." "People who want to participate must register by 9 AM on the day of the contest." "Can anyone participate?" "Yes." "Wow!" "What?" "The first prize could pay for a whole month of food for Jonathan." "Then we have no choice but to participate!" "Oh..." "But I..." "What's wrong?" "Are you worried about something?" "I've never juggled." "It could still be okay." "That's right, we have three days."

"Not like that." "Oh, no." "Do it more rhythmical like this." "Okay, okay." "No, I can't do it!" "Do it faster!" "Oh!" "If I can't even do something like this," "I can't expect to become a Kaleido Star." "I didn't think you were that bad." "Did you know there was a cast member who tried to keep a dog and got fired by Kalos for it?" "What?" "!" "My dad said that Kalos is coming back on Monday." "Wow!" "Jonathan, you're better than Sora!" "Jonathan, you're good!" "Very good!" "Great!" "You're great!" "Oh..." "Hey, Jonathan, do it one more time." "One more time." "It looks like he won't do it unless he feels like it." "He acts just like a big star." "Not too bad." "If Jonathan can do it, I should be able to..." "All right." "In that case, let's go for the crowd pleaser." "Now, the juggling contest is getting more exciting!" "Next up are regulars you already know, Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin!" "Ooh, they're veteran performers for you." "Wow!" "They're the best." "They're pretty good." "Wow!" "They're the best." "It could be difficult for Sora's team to win." "It's me." "Yeah." "I got back a day early." "Sora is?" "This costume is tight." "That's because it's a rental." "Don't miss the timing to bring out the balls, Sora." "I know." "Once Mia and Anna finish juggling..."

"Hey, hey." "Jonathan?" "Jonathan!" "Jonathan!" "We were saved by Jonathan." "Anna!" "Bravo, Jonathan!" "Kalos..." "Isn't he supposed to come back tomorrow?" "What should we do?" "I'll go." "I cannot allow you to work part-time." "Nor can I allow pets." "Keep your attention focused on performing on stage." "That's all." "You can go now." "I'm not losing my focus." "In fact, when you were away, we did a perfect..." "This discussion is over." "I'm not going to abandon Jonathan." "Who?" "If I abandon him," "Jonathan will die." "If you cannot abandon him, then you should quit Kaleido Stage." "No, I won't!" "What?" "!" "What is it?" "Boss, you have a guest." "Okay." "I'll be there soon." "I told you the discussion is over." "Not yet." "That's enough!" "I think the show has nothing to do with Jonathan." "It does!" "Listen, get rid of him!" "If you have time for something like that, you should practice more!" "Understand?" "Of course, I will." "I will work harder than ever for the stage, so that all the papers will come to see us." "I think Kaleido Stage exists to make people happy when they come see us." "But abandoning Jonathan in exchange for that..." "I think there's something wrong with that." "Although I can't say what exactly," "I still think there's something wrong with that." "Kalos." "Jean." "Jonathan..." "Everybody..." "Kalos, now I understand why you let Sora join Kaleido Stage." "It was my biggest mistake." "How about it?" "Why don't we take care of the seal here?" "That way, Sora can quit her part-time jobs and there won't be any worries on how it will affect her performance." "I'll let you handle this, Jean." "Let's build a gigantic swimming pool for Jonathan." "Dad!" "Sora, Kalos gave you permission!" "Did you hear?" "!" "Thank you so much!" "All right!" "Isn't this great, Jonathan?"
