Fairy Princess
**[00:06] Sign**
Minky Momo
**[01:37] Narrator**
Long, long ago...
**[01:38] Narrator**
In a "long, long ago" recent enough that
it could very well seem like tomorrow...
**[01:43] Narrator**
In a universe over there, in an Earth
over there, in a city over there,
**[01:47] Narrator**
there lived a girl.
**[01:50] Narrator**
She looked like a completely normal
girl of the kind you'd find anywhere.
**[01:54] Narrator**
The one difference was...
**[01:56] Narrator**
The girl could use magic to
transform into a grown-up!
**[02:00] Narrator**
They called her Minky Momo.
***SIGN*** Please, Let Me Sleep!
**[02:06] Momo**
"Please, Let Me Sleep!"
**[02:24] Mama**
The man was being pursued.
**[02:45] Mama**
He ran because he was being pursued.
**[02:49] Mama**
Why was he being pursued?
**[02:51] Mama**
Not even I knew, and I was the writer.
**[02:56] Mama**
A mystery that not even the writer
knows the answer to is the best kind!
**[03:05] Lupi**
Your mother is writing.
**[03:07] Chamo**
And your father is on an expedition.
**[03:09] Momo**
And there's no guests at the hotel.
***SIGN*** Is this really okay?
**[03:17] Mama**
It's absolutely okay!
**[03:20] Mama**
It's much better than when I was
struggling with writer's block.
**[03:25] Mama**
Now it's boiling over!
**[03:29] Momo**
The hot water, you mean?
**[03:31] Mama**
Yes, the hot water is boiling as well.
**[03:35] Mama**
But there's one other thing that's boiling...
**[03:38] Mama**
You know what it is, Momo?
**[03:40] Mama**
Momo?
**[03:42] Momo**
Is there something else
you left on the stove?
**[03:45] Mama**
You still don't understand, Momo.
**[03:47] Mama**
It's my ideas that are boiling over.
**[03:50] Mama**
Ideas for a mystery novel are
welling over in my brain!
**[03:54] Mama**
They're about to pop!
**[03:56] Mama**
The man was running, carrying
the secret documents...
**[04:09] Mama**
The door of the hotel was open.
**[04:11] Mama**
The man slid in stealthily.
**[04:18] Mama**
But that was as far as the man could go.
**[04:21] Mama**
Exhausted from his long escape,
he immediately passed out...
**[04:25] Mama**
Oh?
**[04:28] Momo**
What's the matter?
**[04:30] Janet**
Please, let me sleep.
**[04:40] Janet**
Please, forgive me!
**[04:42] Janet**
Please! I promise I'll
have the draft tomorrow!
**[04:46] Janet**
So please, let me sleep...
**[04:48] Mama**
Oh?
**[04:49] Janet**
Oh?
**[04:51] Mama**
You're... a woman?
**[04:53] Mama**
Yes, I'm a girl.
**[04:54] Mama**
Not a man?
**[04:56] Mama**
Truth really is stranger than fiction.
**[05:00] Janet**
I can't write a novel.
**[05:02] Janet**
I want to sleep.
**[05:04] Janet**
Excuse me...
**[05:06] Momo**
She's sleeping.
**[05:10] Janet**
No! Don't wake me up!
**[05:12] Janet**
If you let me sleep for one day,
I'll be able to write the novel!
**[05:15] Mama**
Novel?
**[05:16] Mama**
I'm writing a novel, as it happens...
**[05:19] Janet**
The novel...
**[05:21] Janet**
I have to write it.
**[05:23] Janet**
Wait, where am I?
**[05:25] Mama**
At a hotel.
**[05:26] Janet**
A hotel?
**[05:27] Momo**
Yes, the Legend Inn.
**[05:29] Momo**
It's the oldest hotel in the city.
**[05:33] Janet**
Hotel?
**[05:35] Janet**
That means I can sleep!
**[05:38] Janet**
May I have a key?
**[05:40] Momo**
What?
**[05:40] Janet**
I'd like a room for the night.
**[05:43] Momo**
Okay, I'll show you to your room!
**[05:49] Momo**
Will this room do?
**[05:51] Janet**
Any room will do.
**[05:53] Janet**
I just want to sleep ASAP.
**[06:01] Janet**
A bed!
**[06:04] Janet**
Oh, a bed...
**[06:06] Janet**
Now I'll be able to sleep!
**[06:09] Janet**
My darling bed!
**[06:22] Janet**
Yahoo!
***SIGN*** Is this okay?
**[06:28] Momo**
It's fine. She'll be able to sleep for sure.
**[06:36] Janet**
My darling word processor.
**[06:38] Janet**
Let's get a night's sleep and
then write a wonderful novel.
**[06:42] Janet**
Good night!
**[06:45] Janet**
Yahoo!
**[06:53] All**
Good night!
**[06:55] Momo**
But it's still daytime.
**[06:57] King**
It's all good, it's all good.
**[06:59] King**
Afternoon naps, morning naps,
evening naps, night naps...
**[07:01] King**
When you're tired, you should sleep.
**[07:04] King**
Darling, we should go to sleep as well.
**[07:07] Queen**
Taking an afternoon nap
is all right, at times...
**[07:09] King**
Then let's sleep!
**[07:10] Queen**
But you really fall asleep.
**[07:13] King**
Is that bad?
**[07:14] Queen**
It's quite boring.
**[07:16] King**
Abhorring a snoring bore!
**[07:18] Queen**
What's more... we should focus
on Momo, who's still awake.
**[07:21] King**
Indeed.
**[07:22] Mama**
Can't sleep, must sleep. You should
sleep when you can sleep... sleep?
**[07:26] Momo**
The guest is fast asleep!
**[07:29] Mama**
Still, I feel like I've seen
that guest somewhere before.
**[07:34] Momo**
The writer?
**[07:36] Mama**
Yeah, writer...
**[07:38] Mama**
Writer?
**[07:40] Momo**
She did say she was writing a novel.
**[07:49] Mama**
Hey, it's her!
**[07:50] Mama**
The young writer of worldwide best
sellers, Janet Melon Banana Squash!
**[07:58] Mama**
Yes, coming!
**[08:02] Janet**
Be quiet and let me sleep!
**[08:04] Janet**
There's no one by the name of
Janet Melon Banana Squash here!
**[08:07] Janet**
Absolutely not!
**[08:12] Janet**
Oops...
**[08:15] Janet**
I accidentally said my name,
even though they didn't ask.
**[08:19] Man**
That was definitely Janet's voice.
**[08:24] Man**
In my twenty years as an editor,
**[08:25] Man**
my instincts for finding a draft
have never once proven wrong.
**[08:30] Man**
Looks like nobody's instinct missed that one.
**[08:32] Man**
What was that?
**[08:34] Man**
Look! It's Dokadoka Books, Dandan Inc,
Shunshun Inc, Gakugaku House, Arama Books...
**[08:39] Man**
And...
**[08:41] Man**
They're rival publishers.
**[08:43] Man**
And all of them have a deadline tomorrow.
**[08:46] Man**
I'm sure they're all after Janet's book.
**[08:50] Man**
I won't let them beat us.
**[08:53] Mama**
I understand how you feel
as a popular author.
**[08:56] Mama**
I'm always falling asleep at the dinner
table trying to write my masterpiece.
**[09:01] Janet**
Oh, the blessed afternoon nap!
**[09:03] Janet**
Please, let me sleep!
**[09:07] Mama**
I understand.
**[09:08] Janet**
I can't write my story without sleep.
**[09:11] Mama**
I understand.
**[09:12] Janet**
I'm not a novelist if I
can't sleep and can't write.
**[09:15] Mama**
I understand.
**[09:17] Janet**
If I can't sleep and can't write and I'm
not a novelist, I'm better off dead!
**[09:20] Mama**
I understand!
**[09:23] Janet**
If I can't sleep, I'd rather
enter the longest sleep!
**[09:29] Janet**
Long goodbye...
**[09:33] Mama**
Stop. It's too soon to give up!
**[09:38] Mama**
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
**[09:39] Mama**
I won't let you make your long goodbye.
**[09:42] Mama**
I ensure you a nice, long nap.
**[09:45] Mama**
You know?
**[09:46] Mama**
Momo!
**[09:48] Mama**
Yes?
**[09:49] Mama**
We, the Legend Inn, will guarantee
our guest a comfortable rest!
**[09:53] Mama**
That will be today's objective.
**[09:55] Momo**
Okay!
**[09:56] Janet**
Thank you!
**[09:58] Janet**
I'm so... glad...
**[10:02] Man**
I will get that draft.
**[10:04] Man**
But what about the other publishers?
**[10:08] Man**
They're all looking for an opening.
**[10:10] Man**
It's time to use our heads!
**[10:12] Man**
Plan number one!
**[10:16] Momo**
She won't be able to hear the telephone now.
**[10:19] Lupi**
What's your mother doing?
**[10:22] Mama**
As a fellow writer, the co-owner
of the Legend Inn steps up!
**[10:26] Mama**
To protect Janet from the editors
and give her a good rest!
**[10:29] Momo**
Wow.
**[10:32] Man**
Excuse me...
**[10:34] Man**
I have a package for Miss Janet.
**[10:37] Mama**
How did you get inside?
**[10:39] Man**
Through there.
**[10:42] Man**
She asked for it to be taken to her room.
**[10:45] Mama**
W-Well, I...
**[10:47] Man**
Which room is Miss Janet's?!
**[10:50] Mama**
You can't see her now!
**[10:52] Man**
But this is my job!
**[10:54] Man**
Is it the second floor?
**[10:57] Mama**
No, you can't!
**[10:59] Man**
No one may visit the second floor today!
**[11:02] Janet**
Can you keep it down?
**[11:05] Janet**
Please, let me rest in peace!
**[11:08] Man**
Miss Janet!
**[11:10] Man**
We won't let you escape!
**[11:11] Janet**
Mr. Ohno!
**[11:13] Momo**
Mr. Ohno?!
**[11:15] Man**
In my twenty years as an editor, I, Ohno,
**[11:17] Man**
have never let a draft
slip through my fingers!
**[11:20] Mama**
Run!
**[11:22] Janet**
Right!
**[11:23] Man**
You won't escape!
**[11:25] Man**
Come back here!
**[11:29] Man**
Miss Janet!
**[11:32] Momo**
Go, go, go!
**[11:37] Men**
Ow!
**[11:41] Momo**
We did it!
**[11:46] Man**
We failed, didn't we?
**[11:48] Man**
Oh, no!
**[11:50] Man**
In my twenty years as editor, I've never
let a draft slip through my fingers!
**[11:55] Man**
I will not lose!
**[12:00] Mama**
There!
**[12:06] Mama**
Okay?
**[12:08] Momo**
Okay!
**[12:10] Mama**
We're dealing with an
underhanded set of editors.
**[12:12] Mama**
Don't let your guard down!
**[12:14] Momo**
Right!
**[12:16] sign**

**[12:20] sign**

**[12:20] sign**
Minky Momo
**[12:21] sign**
Fairy Princess
**[12:21] sign**
Minky Momo
**[12:24] Man**
It's no use. We can't get inside.
**[12:26] Man**
It's too well guarded?
**[12:27] Man**
Perfectly so.
**[12:30] Man**
In my twenty years as editor, no
challenge has proved insurmountable!
**[12:32] Man**
I call this Operation: Santa Claus!
**[12:40] Mama**
Is the second floor locked up?
**[12:41] Momo**
Okay!
**[12:42] Mama**
And the entrance?
**[12:43] Momo**
Okay!
**[12:44] Chamo**
We won't let anyone inside!
***SIGN*** Yeah!
**[13:04] Man**
Okay, ready to go!
**[13:06] Man**
Right!
**[13:08] Man**
Give it your best!
**[13:09] Mama**
Momo, the logs!
**[13:10] Momo**
Okay!
**[13:13] Man**
There's never been a draft I couldn't snatch!
**[13:16] Man**
Just you wait!
**[13:24] Man**
Who starts a fire when
someone's in the chimney?!
**[13:29] Man**
Oh, no!
**[13:30] Man**
Mr. Ohno!
**[13:43] Man**
Oh, no!
**[13:45] Man**
So hot!
**[13:52] Momo**
We did it!
**[13:53] Mama**
It worked!
**[14:01] Man**
Are you all right?
**[14:04] Man**
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...
**[14:06] Man**
And a fire truck for fire!
**[14:08] Man**
A fire truck?
**[14:10] Mama**
We got him that time, but we
have to keep our guard up.
**[14:14] Momo**
Yes!
**[14:15] Mama**
That won't be enough to
make an editor give up.
**[14:18] Mama**
They'll try something else for sure.
**[14:20] Momo**
You're right.
**[14:23] Momo**
Hey, Lupipi. Go check it out, okay?
**[14:25] Lupi**
Aye, aye, sir!
**[14:35] Man**
Listen up! Get Janet out
of that hotel at any cost!
**[14:39] Man**
Got it!
**[14:42] Man**
Oh, no!
**[14:45] Man**
Emergency! Emergency!
**[14:46] Man**
Momo, emergency!
**[14:47] Man**
The second floor!
**[14:49] Momo**
Chamo, Cookbook, let's go!
**[14:53] Man**
Just you wait!
**[14:58] Momo**
Janet! Janet, wake up!
**[15:02] Momo**
We have to run away, Janet!
**[15:05] Janet**
What now? I'm still sleepy.
**[15:08] Janet**
I can't write if you wake me up now...
**[15:11] Momo**
Oh, dear...
**[15:12] Lupi**
Look!
**[15:16] Momo**
I know!
**[15:17] Momo**
This is a dream!
**[15:19] Momo**
You're sleeping, Janet!
**[15:21] Janet**
A dream?
**[15:23] Momo**
Yes, you're still dreaming!
**[15:25] Janet**
I'm asleep?
**[15:27] Janet**
Oh, I get it.
**[15:29] Janet**
Dreams are a lot like being awake.
**[15:31] Momo**
So come on! Hurry!
**[15:33] Janet**
This is a dream?
**[15:37] Man**
Don't let her escape! After her!
**[15:40] Mama**
Momo?
**[15:43] Crowd**
Get her!
**[15:46] Momo**
No!
**[15:48] Momo**
This way!
**[15:54] Momo**
They're going to catch us at this rate!
**[15:57] Crowd**
Get back here!
**[15:59] Momo**
I know!
**[16:01] Momo**
Meet me at the Legend Park fountain!
**[16:03] Momo**
Get to it!
**[16:15] Janet**
They're going to catch me!
**[16:20] Momo**
Oh, dear. Janet's in big trouble!
**[16:23] Momo**
Okay!
**[16:27] Momo**
Attention, townspeople. We are
very sorry to disturb you.
**[16:32] Momo**
We'll take your old books and magazines,
**[16:35] Momo**
in exchange for drafts by
Janet Melon Banana Squash.
**[16:39] Man**
What?
**[16:39] Man**
Miss Janet's drafts?
**[16:42] Man**
Get her!
**[16:43] Man**
Yeah!
**[16:45] Momo**
Yes! They'll grasp at any straw.
**[16:48] All**
Wait, you!
**[16:48] Janet**
I feel like we're safe.
***SIGN*** Now, let's run!
**[16:53] All**
Wait, you!
**[16:56] Momo**
I think we've gone far enough!
**[16:59] Momo**
Bye!
**[17:05] Man**
We can't catch her!
**[17:07] Man**
We'll have to go back
to where we were before.
**[17:10] Man**
What?
**[17:11] Man**
The criminal always returns
to the scene of the crime.
**[17:13] Man**
And novelists who miss their deadlines
are basically the same as criminals.
**[17:21] Momo**
Thank goodness. We're safe.
**[17:23] Janet**
Safe, my eye!
**[17:26] Janet**
I couldn't get any sleep. I'm wide awake.
**[17:29] Janet**
I'll never write my novel!
**[17:31] Momo**
But this is a dream.
**[17:34] Janet**
This is no dream!
**[17:35] Janet**
I've never had such a lucid dream before!
**[17:38] Janet**
Oh, oh!
**[17:40] Janet**
If I'm awake, I'm through!
**[17:42] Janet**
Oh, oh!
**[17:44] Momo**
Oh, dear. What do we do?
***SIGN*** Well, c'mon. Just make it a dream already.
**[17:48] Momo**
You have an idea?
***SIGN*** Yes. A good idea.
***SIGN*** It was a real light bulb moment.
**[17:53] Momo**
Then tell me!
**[17:55] Momo**
Magic.
**[17:56] Momo**
Magic?
**[17:58] Momo**
Use it here?
***SIGN*** Yes, nothing to hide.
***SIGN*** Since this is Janet's dream, anyway.
**[18:04] Momo**
Right. Magic.
**[18:05] Momo**
Janet, since this is a dream, I'm going
to transform into a grown-up now!
**[18:10] Momo**
Transform into a grown-up?
**[18:12] Momo**
Of course, of course!
**[18:14] Momo**
Surely you jest. This
isn't a dream or a story.
**[18:17] Momo**
I'll prove it's a dream! Watch!
**[18:23] Momo**
Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
**[18:26] Momo**
Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
**[18:28] Momo**
Because it's a dream, I can do what I want...
**[18:31] Momo**
so become a princess with a Minky touch!
**[18:58] Momo**
Well?
**[19:00] Janet**
No way!
**[19:02] Momo**
It's true! This *is* a dream!
**[19:05] Janet**
A dream?
**[19:06] Janet**
Oh, so it *is* a dream!
**[19:08] Janet**
That's wonderful!
**[19:09] Janet**
Well, it's a dream, can
you become a novelist?
**[19:13] Momo**
What?
**[19:14] Janet**
Write my novel for me!
**[19:19] Momo**
Dreams don't really work that way.
**[19:21] Janet**
Don't be like that!
**[19:23] Lupi**
Momo! Look at that!
**[19:27] Man**
She escaped!
**[19:28] Man**
Go!
**[19:29] Man**
You won't escape!
**[19:30] Man**
We'll get that draft!
**[19:32] Momo**
So annoying.
**[19:34] Momo**
In that case...
**[19:40] All**
Miss Janet! Your draft!
**[19:44] Momo**
Come on!
**[19:47] Momo**
Now I'm an Olympic sprinter!
**[19:49] Momo**
You really are! It really is a dream!
**[19:52] Momo**
Yes, a dream.
**[19:52] Momo**
Yes, this is a dream!
**[19:55] Momo**
Even though I'm running... I'm really sleepy.
**[19:58] Momo**
Please don't sleep just yet.
**[20:00] Janet**
No big deal. It's just a dream.
**[20:03] Momo**
It kind of is a big deal!
**[20:06] Momo**
It's a dead end!
**[20:07] Momo**
What do we do?
**[20:10] Man**
Well, Miss Janet, feel like
handing over the draft?
**[20:13] Man**
We got here first!
**[20:15] Man**
No, we have a deadline tomorrow.
**[20:17] Man**
What's that? I found her first!
**[20:20] Man**
I get first dibs!
**[20:21] Janet**
Stop it!
**[20:23] Janet**
Please stop fighting, everyone!
**[20:25] Janet**
This is a dream! Don't chase me
for my draft, even in my dreams!
**[20:29] Man**
What is she talking about?
**[20:30] Man**
I won't let you get away!
**[20:33] Man**
Nah, I'm gonna get away.
**[20:35] Man**
Let's go, Momo.
**[20:37] Momo**
Right. Where to?
**[20:38] Janet**
Into the sky.
**[20:40] Janet**
If it's a dream, I can fly!
**[20:42] Janet**
Farewell, editors!
**[20:44] Janet**
In my dreams, I can fly forever!
**[20:50] Janet**
That's strange. I seem to be falling.
**[20:52] Janet**
But when I'm scared, just fall asleep!
**[20:56] Momo**
She's sleeping. Amazing!
**[20:58] Momo**
But I'm still falling with her!
**[21:04] Man**
They fell.
**[21:07] Man**
The draft fell, too.

The writer Janet Melon Banana Squash
**[21:18] News**
and unidentified athlete who fell
into the lake remain missing.
**[21:23] Man**
I will find you! No matter where
you are, I will get your draft!
**[21:29] Mama**

dove into the lake...
**[21:33] Mama**
But the woman who fell in
first was not inside the lake.
**[21:37] Mama**
Where could she be?
**[21:40] Mama**
Only I, the writer, know the answer!
**[21:47] Janet**
What a nice sleep!
**[21:48] Momo**
Awake now?
**[21:50] Janet**

I had a wonderful dream!

* girl of the kind you'd find anywhere.*
**[22:16] Janet**
*The one difference was...*
**[22:18] Janet**
* The girl could use magic to transform*
* into an 18-year-old grown-up!*
**[22:23] Janet**
*They called her...*
**[22:28] Momo**
They called her "Minky Momo"! Maybe?
