We somehow managed to finish the sorting by category.
This is always a handful.
I'm tired.
Guardians sure do a lot of regular desk work.
Sorry to make you accompany us.
It was no big deal.
Even though you're the joker.
Oh, my. The black tea you made is delicious.
Candies.
I want to eat candies!
Sorry, I didn't make any today.
Keep it together, Yaya!
Then, let's get ice cream!
There is a great ice cream shop near my place.
I'm sorry. I have plans to study after this.
I have to make an appearance at the soccer club.
I have plans too.
See you.
W–Well then, I'll also...
Then, let's go together!
Amu, you're free, right?
Everyone is so flexible.
Amu!
Watch me! Watch me!
I'm watching, I'm watching.
That's too flexible!
This is nothing.
Do you have any bones inside you?
Wait, weren't we supposed to get ice cream on the way home?
Sorry, a performance is coming up, so I can't miss practice.
Just wait a bit.
'Kay.
Ballet is so fun!
It's a maiden's chic!
It's artistic!
Hi! How are you, my wonderful fairy maidens?
The teacher's over the top!
How is the lesson going?
I'm doing my best!
Excuse me?
Stand up!
Yes!
You there. You have long legs and arms.
You may have the gift of ballet. Try dancing for a moment.
Sounds good, Amu! Just try it!
Of course I can't!
How about here?
Right?
Do it, Amu!
Ran!
Someone!
Stop me!
Stop it!
Those were some extraordinary dancing skills.
Amu, you okay?
I'm not okay.
Ran!
Maybe that was too much.
I'll stuff you in the toilet!
I'm sorry!
Can you move aside?
Ms. Flower Fairy number two.
The prima needs to practice.
I'm sorry, Mai.
It tasted really good!
Can you please clear the area?
Sorry.
What's with her?
She gives off bad vibes.
Her name is Himekawa Maika.
They say she is the only one in the class with the talent of a genius.
Her mother was a famous prima ballerina not too long ago.
Listen, all my fairies. We are going to get started!
First off, we'll start with scene one's Flower Fairy movement.
Amu, be sure to watch me!
Sure, sure.
Yaya's pretty good.
Not really. She's not raising her legs at all.
Can't you have more tact?
Then, shall I show you how a prima dances?
Yes, now enters the prima!
I don't like her, but she's definitely the best.
Here comes that stubborn side.
Don't be so gloomy!
Wonderful!
Maika!
Are you all right, Mai?
This is nothing.
This is a bad sprain.
You won't be able to appear in this week's performance.
I can do it!
The muscles are quite strained.
Your desire cannot be fulfilled.
For this event, we will use a stand-in.
I can't believe this.
May I ask you to be the prima's substitute, Yuiki Yaya?
M–Me?
Let's keep up our pace.
Maika, wait here until your mother arrives.
Yes.
Yaya is the prima?!
I thought you'd end up as a tree or rock.
I'm doing it because we have no choice!
And there aren't any rocks!
I was surprised too.
Surely, ballet isn't only about giving an impressive performance.
Don't you start too, Amu!
But ballet is the best!
All you two have been doing since yesterday is practice.
I can do it better!
Oh, my. If it involves dancing, I'll never lose.
It's not quite like that.
I can do something this menial.
What are you drawing, Miki?
Is that Himekawa?
Because she was so beautiful.
She sure was.
She'll be able to dance again, right?
Yep.
It was a shame she was injured just before the performance.
Yeah.
No need to worry, really.
My dream is to be a world famous ballerina. Recitals are just child's play.
That's what she's always saying!
What an uptight character.
I wonder...
I wanted to be the prima.
I always practiced my hardest.
Everything...
It was all pointless.
Found you.
The egg inside you reveals everything.
Amu looks depressed.
I wonder where we're going.
I wonder if she's all right.
Are dreams so easily broken and hard to obtain?
We've come to this mysterious place again.
I wonder if we can see the sky change again.
Something smells good.
It's rare for visitors to show up.
Are you the planetarium's caretaker?
Right. Just part-time, though.
I do the maintenance and other odd jobs.
This tea has a sweet fragrance.
He looks a lot like Tadase.
This is such a mysterious place.
It's a place everyone forgets about,
but it seems to draw the lost and uncertain.
Maybe I'm one of them, too.
When I get writer's block near a novel's end, I come here to gaze at the stars.
Then good ideas are born.
A novel? Do you teach literature?
I'm just a novice, like a hatching egg.
It's my dream to one day become a famous writer.
Do adults have dreams, too?
Of course!
Dreams...
Well then, what could be troubling you?
An adult recently told me that the percentage of people who can make their dreams come true is quite small.
Are dreams so easily broken and hard to obtain, I wonder?
Let me tell you the secret to every good story.
At the start, Cinderella and Snow White were both missing something inside.
They lived happily ever after with the prince on the last page, right?
If the princess had everything from the beginning, the story would not have been able to start.
Only people who are missing something inside can become the main character.
Become the main character?
Even me?
An egg is hatching.
The ballerina prodigy's egg.
It may be an embryo.
Although, if that's not the case...
I'll leave the garbage cleanup to you.
What is it?
Are you dissatisfied?
Not really.
Well then, until we meet again.
I hate that guy.
Amu, do you want to practice today?
Sure.
Yay!
Actually, I'm just concerned about her.
Oh, yeah, Amu!
Today is a dress rehersal!
Sorry to keep you all waiting!
I was running late.
Mrs. Orie, were you able to fix the tear?
Yes, wait just a moment.
Who is she?
Mai's mama.
We call her "Mrs. Orie."
Right now, she's helping us make our costumes.
So you're the new prima, right?
Y–Yes!
Would you try on this new prima outfit for me?
I originally made it for Maika, so it may be a little tight.
Okay!
She's beautiful.
It's amazing that she could make such a wonderful costume.
Oh, Maika!
Mama.
Came to watch the practice?
I'll stay too, so let's go home together afterwards. I brought the car.
I'll get home on my own. You can leave.
Really?
Round and round and round, done!
W–Why me as well?
Amu, you're cute!
Yeah, not too bad.
It looks good on you, Amu!
R–Really?
Yeah!
Come, my fairies. Time to begin!
That's wrong, Yaya! It should be a tourner!
Yes!
Her personality is different from before.
Yaya, keep it together!
Yes!
Yaya's trying hard.
Fairy Yaya needs a little more work.
Maika, can you watch over fairy Yaya a while longer?
Yes.
Why is Amu still here?
Looks like she's concerned about something.
I can hear you there!
Wait.
You know, there will be more performances.
So, I mean...
Cheer up.
I don't care about the performance.
My mother retired from ballet because of an injury.
In the blink of an eye, she lost everything.
She couldn't have lost everything!
Mrs. Orie was sparkling brightly.
I thought her radiance was splendid!
You can say that because you don't know anything!
Mama danced more beautifully than any other ballerina!
That's why it's useless.
No matter how hard I try,
it can disappear so easily!
An X has appeared on Mai's egg!
My, my.
Once again, it seems it wasn't an embryo.
Well then, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Black Cat.
Un, deux, trois!
The X Character made her faint!
Just wait, Mai! I'll save you now!
Time to eat, Pepe!
Yep!
Pretty Cutie Love Baby!
Giant Rattle Attack!
It hurts!
She's crying?!
Because she has a baby's character?
Useless.
Working hard is useless.
You're wrong!
Amu!
Right!
My own heart, unlock!
Character Transformation: Amulet Spade!
Is this Miki's character transformation?
You did it, Miki!
That's cool!
Hey, now!
That's dangerous!
Pas, pas, pas!
I can't get close!
Leave it to me!
Nice one, Miki!
If you use this...
Right!
Colorful Canvas!
All right!
Everything is useless.
I tried just as hard as my mother.
Everything was lost in a second.
I'll never dance.
It's useless.
I'm just like Mama.
Stop being a crybaby!
So what if you're down for a bit?
Don't say that your mother's efforts up to now have been a waste!
The way you danced was also pretty cool.
Even Yaya, who keeps falling down, stood up again.
Both of you are real primas!
Negative Heart,
lock on!
Open Heart!
Prima!
Merci, Amu!
Are you Mai's Guardian Chara?
When I'm reborn again, I'll dance with my own toe shoes.
But not quite yet.
Until the day we meet again!
Amu, we need a minute.
What should we do?
They're still crying?!
Yaya, let's get ice cream!
Only if you treat me!
Do I have to?
She cleansed another X Egg. At least it makes our cleanup job easier.
That's true.
Yaya's beautiful!
She really is!
I never thought I would be cheering her on as a prima!
You're getting too worked up, Souma.
That outfit is quite nice.
Thank you.
You were all great fairies!
I'm tired.
Good work.
Mai!
You made a mistake in the second act,
but it was a great performance.
Mai!
How is your leg?
It'll be fine soon.
This is nothing.
And then I'll dance again.
You were wonderful!
That was the best you've done!
I'll be just as good a prima as Mama.
Yeah.
Embryo.
It's a magical egg that can make any wish come true.
Any wish comes true?
A magical egg?!
Smack, smack, squeek!
Not that!
Embryo!
Where is it, exactly?
How should I know?
Well then, we should find it!
Ami already found one!
No way!
For real!
Next time on Shugo Chara:
The Small Egg.
Let's find that...
Legendary...
Embryo!
Smack, smack, squeek!
Not that!
