[00:20] Mira
    When I was a young child,
    I went on the town camping trip
[00:23] ---
    and met a certain boy.
[00:28] (Flashback) Mira
    Hey!
[00:32] (Flashback) Mira
    What are you doing out here?
[00:35] (Flashback) Ao
    What am I doing?
[00:36] (Flashback) Ao
    Letting my anger cool off.
[00:49] (Flashback) Ao
    The lights from the campsite are interfering.
[00:52] (Flashback) Ao
    That's Jupiter.
[00:55] (Flashback) Mira
    Which one?
[00:57] (Flashback) Ao
    Here.
[00:58] (Flashback) Mira
    Thanks.
[01:00] (Flashback) Ao
    Look, over there.
[01:04] (Flashback) Mira
    Oh! The dot!
[01:05] (Flashback) Ao
    Dot...
[01:07] (Flashback) Ao
    Well, yeah.
[01:09] (Flashback) Ao
    You can't see it with binoculars,
[01:11] (Flashback) ---
    but Jupiter has stripes
    and thin rings around it.
[01:14] (Flashback) Ao
    It also has about 70 moons.
[01:17] (Flashback) Mira
    You know a lot!
[01:19] (Flashback) Mira
    Hey, what's your name?
[01:22] (Flashback) Ao
    Ao.
[01:23] (Flashback) Mira
    I'm Mira!
[01:25] (Flashback) Ao
    The variable star!
[01:26] (Flashback) Mira
    Terrible start?
[01:27] (Flashback) Ao
    No, not that.
SIGN    In the evening, the long-period variable star Mira of the Cetus constellation in the southwest sky will reach peak magnitude.
[01:30] (Flashback) Ao
    The variable star Mira.
[01:31] (Flashback) Ao
    It's a star in the Cetus constellation that's
    unusual because its brightness varies.
[01:35] (Flashback) Mira
    Wow! I have the same name as a star?
[01:39] (Flashback) Mira
    What about you, Ao?
[01:40] (Flashback) Mira
    Is there a star with your name?
[01:42] (Flashback) Ao
    There's no star with a weird name like that.
[01:45] (Flashback) Mira
    It's not weird! It's cool!
[01:47] (Flashback) Ao
    Huh?
[01:48] (Flashback) Mira
    Besides, if there isn't one,
    why not name one after you?
[01:52] (Flashback) Ao
    Name one?
[01:54] (Flashback) Ao
    An asteroid, maybe...
[01:56] (Flashback) Ao
    If I discover one of those,
    I should be able to name it.
[01:59] (Flashback) Mira
    Let's find one, then!
[02:01] (Flashback) Ao
    Huh?
[02:02] (Flashback) Mira
    Let's discover the star Ao!
[02:07] Mira
    That was the last time I saw that boy...
[02:15] Mira
    And now I'm in high school.
[02:17] Misa
    I'm very happy to be enjoying life together
    with you all here at the same school.
[02:22] Misa
    As we each work toward our goals and dreams,
[02:25] Misa
    let us study diligently together.
[02:29] Mira
    Starting today, I'm a high schooler!
[02:32] Mira
    And the one thing I wanted to do
    after starting high school is...
SIGN    Club Listings
[02:34] Mira
    ...gone!
SIGN    Congratulations on Starting School
[02:37] Suzu
    Huh? What's wrong, Mira?
[02:39] Mira
    Suzu-chan!
[02:40] Mira
    The astronomy club that was
    here until last year is gone!
[02:43] Mira
    I was totally set on joining
    it in high school! Why?!
[02:49] Endou
    Yeah, about that...
[02:51] Suzu
    Oh, uh...
[02:53] Suzu
    Endou-sensei.
[02:54] Endou
    Starting this year, the astronomy
    club and the geology club have been
[02:57] ---
    merged into the earth sciences club.
[02:59] Both
    Earth sciences club?
[03:02] Mira
    I can't believe the clubs were merged.
[03:06] Suzu
    Maybe they weren't very popular?
[03:08] Mira
    That's not true!
SIGN    Astronomy Club
     This Way
[03:10] Mira
    At last year's cultural festival...
[03:12] (Flashback) Boys
    She's cute!
SIGN    Earth Sciences
SIGN    Sexy
    Planetarium
[03:14] (Flashback) Monroe
    Come to our sexy planetarium!
[03:18] Mira
    ...it was a huge hit!
[03:20] Suzu
    Maybe that's the reason?
[03:22] Endou
    Setting aside their chastisement
    for the cultural festival...
[03:26] Suzu
    They did get chastised for it?
[03:28] Endou
    They lost members, and there were
    other issues on the school's end.
[03:31] Endou
    So it was merged with the geology club
    to form the earth sciences club.
[03:38] Mira
    Looking up at the sky and looking down at
    the ground are completely different, though.
[03:43] Suzu
    You think so?
[03:45] Suzu
    They're both the same when you're
    looking from space, aren't they?
[03:48] Mira
    Wow! You've got a galactic perspective!
[03:51] Suzu
    Stop it. That's embarrassing.
[03:56] Suzu
    Um, isn't the club room a bit far?
[04:00] Endou
    Its building is way out
    at the far end of campus.
[04:07] Suzu
    Isn't this building kind of old?
[04:10] Endou
    Th-There are still a few holes that
    let drafts in, but we fixed the leaks.
[04:16] Endou
    Hey, I've brought some
    girls here to observe you.

[04:23] Suzu
    Heaven, Earth, man?
[04:26] Mira
    Are we at war?
[04:28] Suzu
    I don't think so.
[04:31] Monroe
    Sorry.
[04:32] Monroe
    We haven't really adjusted to the merger yet.
SIGN    Heaven
[04:36] Monroe
    I'm the club president, Morino.
[04:38] Monroe
    I used to be in the astronomy club.
[04:40] Sakura
    I'm the vice president, Sakurai.
[04:42] Sakura
    I used to be in the geology club.
[04:44] Sakura
    So, which are you?
SIGN    Earth
[04:47] Suzu
    Which?
[04:50] Sakura
    Geology or astronomy!
    Which were you hoping for?
[04:53] Sakura
    If you're here for the geology club,
[04:54] ---
    you get this power stone set that boosts
    your luck! For new members only!
[04:59] Ino
    Vice President! You'll make
    us lose more members!
[05:02] Ino
    I'm sorry.
[05:04] Ino
    Our vice president's very concerned
    about our membership ratio.
[05:06] Ino
    Oh, I'm Inose, a second-year on the geology side.
[05:11] Ao
    I'm Manaka, a first-year.
    I was hoping for the astronomy club.
[05:15] Mira
    There are other new students here!
     I was hoping for the astronomy club, too!
[05:20] Ao
    You like stars?
[05:21] Mira
    I do!
[05:23] Mira
    And there's something I want to do!
[05:26] Mira
    I want to discover an asteroid!
[05:29] Monroe
    Oh? That's an awfully big goal.
[05:32] Suzu
    Is that hard to do?
[05:35] Monroe
    There is a record of a high schooler
    discovering one in the past, but...
[05:39] Sakura
    It's practically impossible
    for a tiny club like ours.
[05:42] Ino
    You're being too harsh, Vice President!
[05:46] Mira
    Yes...
[05:47] Mira
    But I made a promise.
[05:49] Mira
    With a boy, a long time ago.
[05:51] Suzu
    What?!
[05:52] Suzu
    I never heard about this, Mira!
[05:54] Mira
    Well, if I told you about it,
    you'd dig into who he was, right?
[05:58] Suzu
    Yes! I'd string him up! Gimme his name!
[06:01] Mira
    Ao.
[06:02] Mira
    We promised to discover an
    asteroid together and name it Ao.
[06:08] Mira
    I never saw him again after that, though.
[06:11] Monroe
    Oh, dear. Could that possibly be...
[06:15] Sakura
    I think it might...
[06:17] Sakura
    You're bright red, Manaka.
[06:20] Sakura
    Manaka Ao.
[06:22] Mira
    What?!
[06:25] Mira
    Ao? The Ao? You're a girl?!
[06:29] Ao
    My name's kind of boyish,
    and my hair was short...
[06:34] Mira
    Y-Y-You remember me?!
[06:37] Ao
    Of course!
[06:38] Ao
    I've wanted to discover an
    asteroid ever since that day.
[06:42] Ao
    And this...
[06:44] Mira
    A whale mascot?
[06:46] Mira
    So you wouldn't forget my name?
[06:52] Sakura
    Well, well.
[06:54] Monroe
    Sounds like things are getting fun.
[06:57] Mira
    The boy I met that day was actually a girl.
SIGN    01. Their Promise
[08:41] Mira&Screen
    Good evening!
[08:42] Mira&Screen
    Today was a big surprise!
[08:44] Mira&Screen
    I never imagined you'd be in the
    same high school club as me!
[08:47] Mira&Screen
    I'm so happy we're reunited!
[08:50] Mira&Screen
    I'm really sorry I mistook you for a boy.
[08:53] Mira&Screen
    It's good to see you again!
[08:57] Ao
    M-Mom!
[08:59] Ao
    I'm borrowing a book!
[09:01] Shiori
    Huh?
[09:07] Shiori
    I wonder if she's planning
    to get a part-time job...
[09:16] Suzu
    Mira.
[09:17] Suzu
    What's with that look?
[09:20] Suzu
    Hey, you were finally reunited with the
    sweetheart you've longed for all these years.
[09:24] Suzu
    Smile, smile.
[09:26] Mira
    Sweetheart?
[09:28] Mira
    You're having fun with
    this for once, Suzu-chan.
[09:31] Mira
    You always do mean things to the
    people who try to get close to me.
[09:35] Suzu
    Well, that's because Manaka-san's
    a girl, and she's cute.
[09:40] Suzu
    If it's a girl, then I'm totally okay with it.
[09:42] Mira
    What?
[09:44] Suzu
    So, what's up?
[09:46] Mira
    This...
[09:49] Suzu
    Hmm, that's pretty formal.
[09:51] Suzu
    She used to be way more frank.
[09:55] Suzu
    I wonder if she doesn't like me now...
[09:59] Suzu
    The only thing I can say is...
[10:01] Suzu
    You sent too many texts.
[10:02] Mira
    Huh?! I did?!
[10:04] Suzu
    If you're that worried,
    go talk to her in person.
[10:08] Suzu
    The best thing about you is that you take
    action without overthinking things.
[10:13] Mira
    Yeah.
[10:15] Mira
    Excuse me!
[10:16] Suzu
    At least think a little, though!
[10:18] Mira
    Oh, she's there!
[10:19] Mira
    Ao! Want to eat lunch together?
[10:24] Suzu
    Sorry. Mira's rushing into things.
[10:27] Ao
    It's fine.
[10:28] Mira
    Ao, I'm sorry I sent you
    all those texts last night!
[10:32] Ao
    Huh?
[10:33] Mira
    I was bothering you, wasn't I?
[10:34] Mira
    I'll cut back a little next time.
[10:37] Ao
    N-No, it wasn't a bother at all.
[10:40] Mira
    Really? Oh, good!
[10:43] Ao
    I'm sorry, too, for not being
    able to send cute replies.
[10:48] Suzu
    That's so cute!
[10:51] Mira
    Don't mind her.
[10:53] Mira
    Suzu-chan's always been that way.
[10:55] Ao
    S-Sure.
[10:58] Mira
    You're really different from
    when you were younger.
[11:01] Mira
    I thought you were pretty chatty
    back during the camping trip.
[11:05] Mira
    Now you have this mature,
    cool beauty thing going on.
[11:10] Suzu
    Hey, Mira!
[11:12] Mira
    I'll go wash it real quick!
[11:17] Suzu
    She should learn from your composure.
[11:20] Ao
    I'm not composed at all, though.
[11:25] Ao
    I keep panicking at my lack of words.
[11:28] Ao
    I'm so nervous about
    messing up in front of Mira.
[11:32] Suzu
    Messing up what?
[11:36] Ao
    I really embarrassed myself in the
    past by saying the wrong thing...
[11:43] (Flashback) Ao
    So hot...
[11:45] (Flashback) Ao
    It's so wet today.
[11:47] (Flashback) Woman
    Ao-chan, don't you mean humid?
[11:50] (Flashback) Woman
    Ao-chan said something dirty!
[11:53] (Flashback) Woman
    Dirty Ao-chan!
[11:56] Ao
    Ever since then, I've had trouble speaking.
[11:59] Suzu
    That changed her personality?!
[12:02] Suzu
    I'm sure you know far
    more words than Mira does.
[12:06] Suzu
    I'm her childhood friend, so I know.
[12:12] Suzu
    You'll be fine.
[12:13] Suzu
    You're going to discover an
    asteroid together, right?
[12:17] Ao
    Yeah...
[12:18] Suzu
    If you share the same dream,
    I'm sure you'll get along in no time.
[12:24] Mira
    Suzu-chan, what do I do about this?
[12:27] Suzu
    Mira!
[12:29] Suzu
    Jeez, it would have come out if you'd
    just patted it with a handkerchief!
[12:32] Mira
    But...
[12:39] Ao
    I know what Suzu-san said,
    but I'm still nervous.
[12:45] (Flashback) Mira
    You're really different from
    when you were younger.
[12:49] Ao
    My hair and body have grown,
    and I speak less,
[12:52] ---
    so I imagine I do seem different now.
[12:55] Ao
    But my feelings...

    Huh? Mira?!
[13:08] Mira
    Sorry about that!
[13:09] Mira
    I just found something cool!
[13:11] Ao
    H-Huh? That was from something good?
[13:15] Mira
    Ao, can you see outside right now?
[13:17] Mira
    To the west! The western sky!
[13:25] Mira
    That's Mercury, right?
[13:27] Ao
    Yeah.
[13:28] Mira
    I got it right!
[13:29] Mira
    I've been studying a lot thanks to you, Ao!
[13:35] Mira
    Ao?
[13:36] Ao
    I'm fine. It's nothing.
[13:40] Ao
    I'm sorry for calling out of the blue.
[13:42] Ao
    I didn't really have anything to talk about.
[13:44] Mira
    Oh, that's totally fine. Let's chat.
[13:48] Ao
    Chat?
[13:50] Mira
    Hey, so, is Venus visible right now?
[13:54] Ao
    Oh, uh...
[13:56] Ao
    I think you can see it shining really
    brightly in the mornings right now.
[14:00] Ao
    It's probably around magnitude -4.
[14:04] Ao
    Yeah, uh-huh.
[14:07] Suzu
    Morning.
[14:09] Mira
    Morning!
[14:10] Mira
    Hmm? You seem happy.
[14:13] Mira
    Yeah! I chatted with Ao a lot last night!
[14:17] Suzu
    Oh? Good for you.
[14:20] Suzu
    Which means...
[14:24] Mira

[15:06] Ino
    You need to think of things
    within our club's budget.
[15:10] Ao
    How much is in our budget?
[15:17] Sakura
    Making that face won't get us more money!
[15:19] Endou
    It's because neither the astronomy club
    nor the geology club have any achievements.
[15:24] Endou
    The clubs that are active, participating
    in tournaments and winning awards,
[15:27] ---
    are the ones that get bigger budgets.
[15:31] Mira
    It's true.
[15:32] Mira
    So if we want to buy a great telescope...
[15:36] Sakura
    Then do something to get results first.
[15:39] Mira
    I see.
[15:41] Endou
    So when are we having a barbecue?
[15:43] Mira
    Rejected!
[15:44] Endou
    Aw...
[15:46] Endou
    That reminds me. Where's Suzu?
[15:48] Mira
    Suzu-chan won't be joining the club.
[15:51] Mira
    She's busy helping out at home.

    We already have the equipment,

[16:20] Ino
    The big problems are the
    ones that cost money:

    our summer camps and the cultural festival.

    you aren't going to pull the same

    The same thing?

    You don't need to drag it out!

    Going for sex appeal as a

    Truth is, the vice president's been
    mad about that since last year.
[16:45] Monroe

[17:06] Mira
    Ao, what's wrong?
[17:08] Ao
    We're kind of divided.
[17:12] Mira
    You're right. There aren't activities
    that our groups would do together.
[17:16] Ao
    I think we need some.
[17:18] Mira
    A joint project, huh?
[17:20] Mira
    We could do our previous activities together,

    What do you think?

    How did you understand her?
[17:29] Monroe
    It's like you're telepathic.

    Um, I have a proposal.
[17:35] Ino
    Why don't we have our groups
    create a newsletter together?
[17:39] Monroe
    A newsletter?
[17:40] Ino
    Yes. We'll print a sort of pamphlet
    introducing our club activities.
[17:45] Mira
    That sounds fun!

    Yeah.

    What's the point of a newsletter, though?

[18:12] Ino

    Uh, sure. As long as it relates to our club.
[18:18] Ao
    I could probably write an
    introduction to the planets.
[18:21] Mira
    If it has some interesting columns,
[18:24] ---
    maybe more people will want to read it.
[18:27] Sakura
    Then I'll write...

    a column introducing different minerals!

    Sounds good.

    What should we name our newsletter?
[18:36] Mira
    Yes! I have an idea!
SIGN    Weekly
    Find an
    Asteroid!
[18:38] Mira
    Weekly Find an Asteroid!
[18:41] Mira
    We'll include telescope
    parts with each issue!
[18:44] Sakura
    Rejected!
[18:45] Sakura
    That's too focused on the astronomy side!
[18:48] Ino
    Weekly might be impossible,
    as well as including extras.
[18:51] Mira
    What do you think would
    be good, Vice President?
SIGN    Mica Time
    Kirara Carat
    First Issue
[18:56] Sakura
    How's this?
[18:57] Ino
    No way!
[18:59] Mira
    I know! Aim for an Asteroid!
[19:02] Sakura
    You girls have a lot of nerve.
[19:06] Ino
    Senpai, calm down!
[19:06] Endou
    It's going to be a challenge
    to get these two together.
[19:08] Sakura
    It needs to have both the
    astrology and geology club in it.
[19:10] Monroe
    That makes it worth the trouble.
[19:11] Mira
    This is hard.
[19:13] Endou
    Sorry to interrupt the fun,
    but it's time to leave school.
[19:17] Monroe
    Let's all go home.
[19:19] Sakura
    Then... Heaven & Earth.
[19:21] Mira
    That's not really...
[19:22] Sakura
    Why not?
[19:23] Mira
    Something cuter would be better.
[19:26] Ao
    Cuter...
[19:28] Endou
    They're not listening.
[19:30] Monroe
    Who wants a hamburger?
[19:39] Mira
    The stars are so pretty!
[19:41] Sakura
    I do think something that conveys
    the charms of rocks would be best.
[19:45] Ino
    Vice President, let's just think about
    it while we eat some burgers!
[19:49] Sakura
    Right.
[19:50] Sakura
    Man, I'm hungry.
SIGN    Sparkle
SIGN    Earth Sciences Club Begins!
[19:55] All
    Sparkle?
[19:58] Monroe
    Makes sense.
[19:59] Ino
    Both gems and stars do sparkle.
[20:02] Ao
    It's not weird, is it?
[20:04] Mira
    No! It's really cute!
[20:07] Mira
    It's a great kirakira name!
[20:08] Ao
    Kirakira...
[20:15] Sakura
    Sorry, Inose.
[20:17] Sakura
    I kept thinking about how to do a proper job,
[20:21] Sakura
    but we need to get more people
    to understand what our club does.
[20:25] Ino
    Vice President...
[20:27] Sakura
    We need to take down the
    barriers between ourselves first.
[20:32] Ino
    Right!
[20:34] Sakura
    So, with that in mind...
[20:35] Sakura
    How about this project?!
SIGN    Don't lose to the astronomy club!
SIGN    Super Sexy Stones
[20:38] Ino
    That awkward side of you is so...
[20:42] Endou
    Well?
[20:43] Endou
    Are you all getting along?
[20:45] Endou
    I was worried about Sakurai, since she's
    always prickly around unfamiliar people.
[20:50] Monroe
    Inose-chan's doing a good job
    mediating, so they're fine.
[20:54] Endou
    I see.
[20:55] Endou
    That's good.
[20:57] Endou
    Oh, we have an addition to the budget.
[21:01] Endou
    Here, take this.
[21:03] Endou
    Tell everyone to make sure
    they're free next weekend.
[21:07] Monroe
    You want to do this no matter what, huh?
[21:13] Mira
    The winter constellations are
    still pretty at this time of night.
[21:16] Ao
    Yeah.
[21:19] Mira
    Hey, Ao?
[21:21] Mira
    It's so amazing that we're able to watch
    the stars and chat together like this.
[21:27] Mira
    I'm really happy we're reunited.
[21:31] Mira
    Ao?
[21:33] Ao
    Me, too.
[21:35] Ao
    I always hoped I might see you again.
[21:41] Mira
    Yeah.
[21:43] Mira
    Well, see you at school tomorrow.
[21:46] Ao
    Yeah.
[21:52] Mira
    I want to find one.
[21:54] Ao
    I want to make it happen.
[21:57] Both
    Like we promised each other.
