"On usual, precious nights, I'd be riding by your side as you take me in your car for a ride." "I hung up the phone, when you called to cancel the date I tried to pretend that there wasn't a scent of lie." "The color of my manicure, as it dries only serves to glamorize this night..." "A-ha-ha..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "Got to be more straightforward to say it but uncertainty whispers into my ear..." "'Cause I love you..." "The Actress in the Mirror... each time I act, the truth leaves further and further from my face." "You've broken my heart." "A-ha-ha..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "Got to be able to cry but my pride keeps revising my dialogue..." "'Cause I love you..." "The Actress in the Mirror..." "There's no turning back now that I've realized the seriousness of the crime." "You've broken my heart." "That'll do..." "Yeah!" "Cheers!" "Darling, thanks for waiting." "Thanks for waiting." "Good-bye!" "Hikaru!" "I'm sorry... but I've..." "The results were... far beyond even my wildest imagination!" "Kyosuke Timetrips!" "The Third Christmas." "That'll do..." "Yeah!" "Merry Christmas, Mr. Kasuga!" "Merry Christmas, Mr. Indecisive!" "Kazuya, Jingoro, you can come out now!" "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" "Good!" "We'll get a ton of laughs with this as our opening act!" "Gimme a break..." "You know why Christmas is celebrated, don't you?" "It's not to honor Jesus." "It's there for us to enjoy!" "Hail Amida Buddha..." "Why you!" "'Tis a great excuse to bring a girl you like to the party!" "No matter what, you've got to come to tonight's party as a couple!" "Right?" "There's gonna be lots of fun tonight!" "What?" "!" "As a couple?" "!" "Yup." "Party tickets have already been given out." "Right?" "Oh!" "You guys!" "Hurry!" "Or you're gonna be late for school!" "Say, Kurumi... there'll be big fancy cakes with gadzillions of strawberries canapes with ikura, roasted chicken legs... and it's all "All-U-Can-Eat!" "Ikura": salmon roe." "Yahoo!" "Being there is more important than anything else!" "I'm skipping lunch!" "If Kurumi's going, then I will too." "Yes!" "And so, a double Golden Couple is thus created!" "K..." "K..." "Kasuga have you talked to the Lady Hikaru yet?" "Huh?" "W..." "W..." "Well..." "H..." "Hikaru and..." "Ayukawa..." "I'm faced with a dilemma, trying to... decide who to ask..." "Later, Kasuga!" "Later!" "A..." "Ayukawa!" "Ayukawa!" "What's up?" "Er..." "Yippee!" "Sempai!" "H..." "Hikaru!" "I'm so touched!" "I heard that you're taking me to the party tonight." "What?" "!" "Komatsu told me so." "Oh, really..." "What kind of a dress would you like me to wear, Darling?" "Oh!" "Madoka, would you like to go also?" "You might want to ask somebody!" "Sorry, but I can't..." "I'll be with my sister and her gang." "I see." "That's too bad." "Hikaru, have fun..." "Thank you so much!" "A..." "Ayukawa..." "Ayukawa..." ""Xmas Party"" "What's wrong with me wearing it just for today?" "!" "I was gonna wear it!" "Why can't I?" "!" "It's not like it'll wear out!" "No!" "No way!" "Listen, you guys!" "Would you knock it off?" "!" "Dammit!" "Hikaru was gonna be... gonna be my date!" "Y..." "Yuusaku!" "Calm down!" "Calm down!" "Birthdays and Christmas are two of the biggest events for lovers everywhere!" "And, look what you did..." "W..." "W..." "Well, I can explain..." "Even though I, Hino Yuusaku, am known for my patience and endurance..." "I cannot endure you any longer!" "Later!" "K..." "Kasuga!" "Darling, thanks for waiting." "Er..." "Well..." "Darling, I really appreciate your asking me out." "This has got to be the bestest Christmas present!" "Well..." "Pardon me..." "Huh?" "How do I get to the Senior Citizens' Center?" ""The Senior Citizens' Center?"" "Er..." "Well, lemme see..." "Go straight down this road turn right at the third corner then when you see the convenience store on the corner, take a left keep going until it ends, then turn left and you'll see a barber shop." "Now, keep in mind you'll soon be turning right, but you first go left, watch out for the police box, and then walk another 300 meters." "Next, bear right, go 500 meters, and you'll see a big building." "That's where it is." "Did you get that?" "I'm sorry, but would you repeat that once more?" "Well, listen to me carefully now, Obaachan." ""Obaachan":" "Grandmother, or, as in this case, any old woman." "Oh!" "Oh!" "You've done it, playboy!" "I had so many choices that I had a tough time deciding'!" "Ow..." "Owowow!" "Shall we go?" "Oh!" "Hey!" "Huh?" "Oh!" "Hey!" "You have to come as a couple in order to get into this party!" "That's right!" "That's our rule!" "She's Tamiko the Macaw." "Be kind to her." "I'm Tamiko." "I'm Tamiko." "H..." "Hey!" "Can you deny the beautiful love between man and bird?" "!" "Whatcha gonna do during the dances?" "!" "In my neighborhood... she's known as "Tamiko the Disco Queen!"" "Got a problem with that?" "Well... whatever you say, sir..." "Cheers!" "It's so much fun in here..." "Madoka should've come." "Right, Darling?" "Er..." "Yeah..." "Kasuga!" "Call for you, from Ayukawa's big sister." "Sure." "I'll give her the message." "In other words..." "Ayukawa lied to me..." "On your way to a party, perhaps?" "Is having fun part of your agenda for Christmas Eve?" "What kind of a present did you get for your significant other?" "Er..." "Do you like Christmas, or... er... er..." "Er..." "It seems that I've been talking to a Buddhist extremist!" "Ayukawa!" "Sempai!" "Ayukawa!" "Merry Christmas, Mr. Kasuga!" "Merry Christmas, Mr. Indecisive!" "What's going on here?" "!" "Kazuya, Jingoro!" "You can come out now!" "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas!"

"Christmas Eve!" "Wake up, why don't you!" "That explains it!" "In other words..." "I've "time-slipped!"" "Uh-huh!" "All right!" "I've got to try it again!" "Without fail, I've got to ask Ayukawa out this time!" "Ayukawa!" "Ayukawa!" "Wh..." "What is it?" "C..." "Come here for a sec..." "Listen, er..." "What is it?" "Sempai!" "Oh...?" "What's up with you?" "!" "Well..." "I was, er..." "Tonight's Christmas Party..." "Wanna go with me?" "What?" "!" "Y'know, I had a dream where I spent Christmas Eve all by myself." "Please, I'm begging you!" "Please!" "Listen, you guys!" "Would you knock it off?" "!" "I didn't make it on time!" "Y..." "You really aren't going with Hikaru?" "!" "W..." "Well... at least not this time." "Is that right?" "!" "Yuusaku, are you all right?" "Kasuga..." "Man, I never realized that you were actually half decent!" "I had it... all wrong before!" "I guess you can't fight fate..." "Thanks for waiting." "It sure was... nice that I got to ask Ayukawa out, or so I thought..." "Kasuga..." "Huh?" "I'm glad that dream I had didn't come true." "Pardon me..." "Huh?" "Huh?" "How do I get to the Senior Citizens' Center?" "Obaachan, didn't I just tell you about it?" "What?" "!" "What?" "!" "Er..." "Er..." "Well, er..." "Oh, gosh..." "Learn it the first time, okay?" "All right, go straight along this road..." "Hey!" "You have to come as a couple in order to get into this party!" "That's right!" "That's our rule!" "Huh?" "!"

"When I went to your place, I was told everyone had left." "So I..." "Madoka..." "I dreamed of spending a wonderful Christmas Eve with you, Sempai!" "H..." "Hikaru..." "Good-bye..." "Hikaru!" "Kasuga..." "I'm sorry... but I've got to..." "What?" "!" "The results were... far beyond even my wildest imagination!" "I'm the lowest!" "I've got to do something!" "Power, take me back... again, just once again..." "Back to the morning!" "Merry Christmas, Mr. Kasuga!" "Merry Christmas, Mr. Indecisive!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "I'm back!" "Gone wacko...?" "Uh-huh." "Are you trying to do something I'm praying you won't do?" "!" "W..." "W..." "Well, I can explain..." "Here it comes!" "Today, there will be no mercy!" "What the...?" "!" "Why!" "Ushiko!" "Umao!" "Wherefore art thou, Ushiko?" "And, wherefore art thou, Umao?" "Obaachan?" "Yes?" "The Senior Citizens' Center, right?" "Y..." "Yes..." "I know, I know." "Huh?" "!" "...and that's the Senior Citizens' Center." "Okay?" "You can't miss it." "Why, thank you very much!" "Don't you forget it now... 'Cause I won't be back again, okay?" "Huh?" "!" "You really won't be back here again?" "Most likely not." "She's the breakdancing pioneer, known in my house as "Shell-Spinning Nori!"" "Well, whatever you say, sir." "Huh?" "Oh!" "Oh!" "D..." "Don't you know, you have to be a couple to get in!" "Right?" "!" "Huh?" "Uh-huh!" "Let's make it okay to come as a single, couple or triple." "Don't you agree, Madoka?" "Uh-huh..." "Even if I'm accused of double-dealing I just don't want to make either one feel lonely and sad." "Cheers!" "Kasuga, get this..." "Yuusaku says... 'til he was in fifth grade oh, man, my tummy hurts he believed in Santa Claus!" "What the hell?" "!" "Ow!" "Santa Claus?" "!" "Kyosuke!" "Grandpa!" "I've brought you a Christmas present, Kyosuke!" "And, here's the icing on the cake." "A white Christmas..." "Grandpa!" "Oh!" "Kyosuke!" "Well, was that a hit or what?" "Grandpa!" "This is way overboard!" "Merry Christmas, Mr. Kasuga!" "Merry Christmas, Mr. Indecisive!" "Merry Christmas!" ""I just dance in the sweet memories" (Sweet memories)" "At a train station on a faraway day snowflakes dance on the platform, and you came running, out of breath." "The days we had to be apart made the memory of you a happy one, like seeing your photograph." ""I just dance in the sweet memories" Each time we're hurt we learn..." ""I just dance in the sweet memories" ...what it takes to love someone."
