**[01:30] Episode Title Text**
*"Meemi and Her Dad."*
**[01:33] Narrator**
* This is the home of Meemi,*
* Gunma-chan's friend.*
**[01:37] Meemi's Dad**
Honey, how's your schedule today?
**[01:40] Meemi's Mom**
I have a costume fitting
and then a rehearsal after this.
**[01:44] Narrator**
*Meemi's mom is an actor.*
**[01:47] Meemi's Dad**
Do you need dinner?
**[01:49] Meemi's Mom**
I have a meeting
in the evening, so I'm okay.
**[01:53] Meemi's Dad**
Okay, take care.
**[01:55] Meemi's Mom**
Thanks.
**[01:57] Meemi's Mom**
You have a good day working, too!
**[01:59] Meemi's Dad**
Y-Yeah... I will.
**[02:01] Meemi's Dad**
I've got the plot sorted out...
**[02:04] Meemi's Dad**
mostly.
**[02:05] Narrator**
*Meemi's dad is an author.*
**[02:09] Narrator**
* A "plot" is kind of like*
* the blueprint of a novel.*
**[02:14] Meemi**
Have a good day!
**[02:19] Meemi**
Mom left for work, Dad...
**[02:24] Meemi's Dad**
Oh, Meemi.
**[02:25] Meemi**
Are you okay?
**[02:27] Meemi's Dad**
It's just that I've noticed
a contradiction in my plot...
**[02:31] Meemi**
What are you going to do?
**[02:33] Meemi's Dad**
Well, I have no choice but
to make it flow as best as I can...
**[02:38] Meemi's Dad**
But...
**[02:39] Meemi**
You look pretty stressed.
**[02:42] Meemi's Dad**
I can't work any harder!
**[02:46] Meemi**
I know, I know.
**[02:47] Meemi**
Because you already work so hard. Right?
**[02:51] Meemi's Dad**
That's right!
**[02:53] Meemi**
Because writing novels is 100 times
harder than reading them. Right?
**[02:58] Meemi**
And you want me to just watch
on and support you from afar?
**[03:02] Meemi's Dad**
Yes, exactly!
**[03:03] Meemi's Dad**
Meemi... Thank you...
**[03:07] Meemi**
It's okay.
**[03:08] Meemi**
I'm your daughter, so of course I support you.
**[03:11] Meemi's Dad**
Thank you Meemi!
**[03:14] Dad**
You keep me going!
**[03:19] Meemi**
You can count on me!
**[03:21] Meemi**
But...
**[03:24] Meemi**
He's usually a great dad,
**[03:26] Meemi**
but it can be exhausting when he's writing.
**[03:30] Meemi**
I'm just a kid and it's too much for me!
**[03:33] Meemi**
I might be the most
unfortunate girl in Gunma.
**[03:37] Meemi**
But that won't keep me down!
**[03:43] Meemi**
The handsome lead vocal, Tama!
**[03:46] Meemi**
The spiky-haired guitarist, Nora!
**[03:49] Meemi**
The cool and collected bassist, Tora!
**[03:52] Meemi**
The mohawk drummer, Buchi!
**[03:55] Meemi**
We are the rock band the Meows! Meow!
**[03:59] Meemi**
Meow!
**[04:01] Meemi**
As long as I have the Meows, I'll be okay.
**[04:03] Meemi**
I got ahold of next month's concert tickets,
**[04:06] Meemi**
so I have something to look
forward to while encouraging dad.
**[04:10] Meemi**
Meow!
**[04:13] Meemi's Dad**
Maybe there's some way to use the plot as is
**[04:16] Meemi's Dad**
and whip together
a surprising twist at the end...
**[04:19] Meemi's Dad**
The murdered victim is actually....
**[04:22] Meemi's Dad**
Actually...
**[04:26] Meemi's Dad**
Yes, that could work...
**[04:29] Meemi's Dad**
That could work!
**[04:32] Meemi**
Dad...
**[04:34] Meemi's Dad**
Meow-ahh!
**[04:36] Meemi**
Dad, I made some tea... Are you okay?
**[04:40] Meemi's Dad**
I-I'm fine. Thanks for the tea.
**[04:44] Meemi's Dad**
I don't want to be rude,
but could you give me some alone time?
**[04:49] Meemi**
Okay.
**[05:00] Meemi**
Hey, Aoma...
**[05:02] Aoma**
What?
**[05:03] Meemi**
Living is hard.
**[05:06] Aoma**
Wha?! What's that about?
**[05:10] Aoma**
Oh, by "hard" do you mean like, not fun?
**[05:17] Meemi**
Well, some things are hard but still fun.
**[05:21] Aoma**
That's true.
**[05:28] Aoma**
I bet it's nice being Gunma-chan.
**[05:30] Aoma**
He probably doesn't have any problems.
**[05:32] Meemi**
So true.
**[05:37] Gunma-chan**
Oh, you guys have problems?
**[05:43] Gunma-chan**
You're such grown-ups.
**[05:45] Meemi/Aoma**
No, we're kids!
**[05:47] Gunma-chan**
Oh, okay...
**[05:49] Meemi**
I'm home.
**[05:52] Meemi**
Dad, I'm home.
**[05:54] Meemi's Dad**
Welcome home, Meemi.
**[05:56] Meemi's Dad**
I came up with a good
solution after you left.
**[06:00] Meemi's Dad**
And I even changed the culprit
to someone completely unexpected.
**[06:05] Meemi's Dad**
This one's good...
**[06:06] Meemi's Dad**
This one's really good!
**[06:08] Meemi**
That's good.
**[06:10] Meemi's Dad**
I didn't realize the time.
**[06:13] Meemi's Dad**
Let's make dinner.
**[06:14] Meemi**
I'll help.
**[06:16] Gunma-chan**
Gunma Power!
**[06:18] Narrator**
*Nice work, Gunma-chan.*
**[06:20] Narrator**
*Perfect timing.*
**[06:21] Meemi**
Looks so good!
**[06:23] Meemi's Dad**
Your help made this the perfect dinner!
**[06:29] Meemi**
We'll say you made it yourself.
**[06:32] Meemi**
We don't want Mom to get mad.
**[06:34] Meemi's Dad**
Thanks, Meemi!
**[06:36] Meemi's Dad**
Your mom is nice, but strict about rules...
**[06:39] Meemi's Dad**
Adults have it hard, too...
**[06:42] Meemi**
Roger that!
**[06:45] Meemi's Mom**
I'm home.
**[06:46] Meemi**
Welcome home.
**[06:47] Meemi's Mom**
I'm sorry I'm so late.
**[06:50] Meemi**
It's totally fine!
**[06:51] Meemi**
Dad has everything under control.
**[06:55] Meemi's Mom**
Really?
**[06:58] Meemi's Dad**
O-Of course.
**[07:00] Meemi's Dad**
I've been working hard all day with
the house and cooking as Meemi's Dad.
**[07:05] Meemi's Mom**
Is that so.
**[07:07] Meemi's Mom**
I might go ahead and play detective, then.
**[07:09] Meemi's Dad**
No, no. That's fine, honey.
**[07:12] Meemi's Dad**
I'm sure you're tired from work.
**[07:14] Meemi's Dad**
Why don't you relax when you're at home?
**[07:19] Meemi**
Dad really was working hard all day.
**[07:21] Meemi's Dad**
Thanks, Meemi!
**[07:24] Meemi's Dad**
Did you hear that, honey?
**[07:25] Meemi's Dad**
Do you believe me now?
**[07:27] Meemi's Mom**
Okay, okay. Good work today.
**[07:38] Meemi**
Having to take care of adults all day
**[07:40] Meemi**
makes it rough for kids, too...
**[07:42] Meemi**
I can't wait for the Meows concert!
**[07:49] Meemi**
Today was so exhausting...
**[07:55] Meemi**
Come on, everyone!
**[07:57] Meemi**
Let's rock on!
**[07:58] Meemi**
Give it everything you got!
**[08:01] Meemi**
Meow!
**[08:03] Gunma-chan**
Meemi Power... 100%!

*"Aoma Stays at Home."*
**[08:14] Narrator**
* This is the home of Aoma,*
* Gunma-chan's friend.*
**[08:17] Aoma**
And then yesterday, Gunma-chan...
**[08:20] Aoma's Dad**
Aoma, let's not talk while we're eating.
**[08:24] Aoma's Mom**
That's right, sweetie. It's bad manners.
**[08:26] Aoma**
Okay...
**[08:27] Narrator**
*Aoma's mom and dad are both school teachers.*
**[08:33] Aoma's Mom**
Lunch is in the fridge,
so heat it up when you want to eat.
**[08:37] Aoma's Dad**
Gaming is limited to an hour a day.
**[08:40] Aoma's Mom**
I laid out your homework for you,
so finish that, too.
**[08:43] Aoma**
Okay...
**[08:52] Aoma**
Special Attack!
**[08:53] Aoma**
Underworld Typhoon!
**[09:02] Aoma**
I'm not done yet!
**[09:07] Aoma**
How about this! And take that!
**[09:13] Aoma**
Yes! Gotcha!
**[09:15] Aoma**
Phew, that was a good round.
**[09:20] Aoma**
Oops, it's been over two hours...
**[09:24] Aoma**
I might be the real bad guy not
listening to my parents like this.
**[09:32] Aoma**
It's only 11 o'clock, but...
**[09:35] Aoma**
I'm the type...
**[09:36] Aoma**
To eat lunch whenever I want!
**[09:40] Aoma**
I'm such a baddie. Thanks for the meal!
**[09:43] Aoma**
Yum, so good.
**[09:49] Aoma**
And since I don't like veggies,
**[09:52] Aoma**
I'll just set them off to the side.
**[09:55] Aoma**
Man, I'm an outlaw!
**[10:00] Aoma**
With both of my parents being so strict,
**[10:03] Aoma**
people probably expect
their kid to be the same.
**[10:07] Aoma**
But not me!
**[10:10] Aoma**
I'm the prince of the land of beds!
**[10:13] Aoma**
So I'll nap as much as I want from noon on.
**[10:26] Aoma**
I can't sleep...
**[10:28] Aoma**
It's not cause I was told to do my homework.
**[10:31] Aoma**
I just suddenly wanted to study, that's all.
**[10:40] Aoma**
I can't do this anymore!
**[10:41] Aoma**
30 minutes a day tops, that's just who I am!
**[10:45] Narrator**
*Considering that, he's rather diligent.*
**[10:49] Aoma**
Someone's gossiping about me.
**[10:54] Aoma**
Maybe I'll go for a walk
for a change of pace.
**[11:13] Meemi**
Hey, Aoma...
**[11:15] Aoma**
What?
**[11:16] Meemi**
Living is hard.
**[11:19] Aoma**
Wha?! What's that about?
**[11:23] Aoma**
Oh, by "hard" do you mean like, not fun?
**[11:29] Meemi**
Well, some things are hard but still fun.
**[11:34] Aoma**
That's true.
**[11:41] Aoma**
I bet it's nice being Gunma-chan.
**[11:43] Aoma**
He probably doesn't have any problems.
**[11:45] Meemi**
So true.
**[11:50] Gunma-chan**
Oh, you guys have problems?
**[11:56] Gunma-chan**
You're such grown-ups.
**[11:58] Meemi/Aoma**
No, we're kids!
**[12:00] Gunma-chan**
Oh, okay...
**[12:03] Aoma**
See ya!
**[12:06] Aoma/Gunma-chan**
Gun-gun!
**[12:07] Aoma/Gunma-chan**
The two of us are off, gally as can be
**[12:11] Aoma/Gunma-chan**
Gun-gun, off we go
**[12:14] Aoma/Gunma-chan**
Off to see the land of Gunma
**[12:21] Aoma**
That was a nice change of pace.
**[12:23] Gunma-chan**
That's good.
**[12:25] Aoma**
When I talk with you,
I just feel much lighter.
**[12:29] Gunma-chan**
Like after you drink cider?
**[12:32] Aoma**
...Not really.
**[12:34] Gunma-chan**
Oh, okay.
**[12:35] Aoma**
Oh yeah, Gunma-chan.
**[12:37] Aoma**
It looked like Meemi was
**[12:39] Aoma**
kinda in a rut, so let's
send her some Gunma Power.
**[12:46] Gunma-chan**
Gunma Power!
**[12:56] Aoma**
You wanna go home?
**[12:57] Gunma-chan**
Yeah.
**[12:59] Aoma's Mom/Dad**
We're home.
**[13:01] Aoma**
Welcome home.
**[13:04] Aoma**
Yes, hamburg steak!
**[13:06] Aoma's Mom**
Sorry about the wait.
**[13:07] Aoma's Dad**
I made some salad.
**[13:11] Aoma's Dad**
And... I found someone else's hidden salad.
**[13:17] Aoma's Mom**
Oh look, we get to eat so many vegetables.
**[13:20] Aoma**
Darn.
**[13:21] Aoma's Dad**
I didn't like veggies
when I was a kid, either.
**[13:26] Aoma's Dad**
And now, I love vegetables.
**[13:29] Aoma**
Really?
**[13:31] Aoma's Mom**
He changed.
**[13:32] Aoma's Dad**
I grew up.
**[13:34] Aoma**
You grew up?
**[13:37] Aoma's Dad**
I did. Before I knew it, I was an adult.
**[13:40] Aoma**
What?
**[13:40] Aoma**
You just turned into an adult
from a little kid?
**[13:43] Aoma's Mom**
It was the same for me, too.
**[13:46] Aoma**
Oh yeah, everyone was a kid at one point...
**[13:49] Narrator**
*That's right. Did you all know?*
**[13:52] Narrator**
*All adults were once kids.*
**[13:57] Aoma**
Kids sure are busy.
**[14:00] Aoma**
There's so much we have to do
before we become adults.
**[14:14] Aoma**
Meemi, Gunma-chan! Let's get in formation.
**[14:16] Meemi/Gunma-chan**
Roger that!
**[14:33] Aoma/Meemi/Gunma-chan**
Formation Grown-up!
**[14:34] Aoma/Meemi/Gunma-chan**
Gun-Gunmer to the rescue!
**[14:36] Gun-Gunmer**

Say hi to Aoma-chan for me.
**[15:34] Gunma-chan**
The weather's nice and my tummy's full!
**[15:39] Gunma-chan**
This is fun!
**[15:44] Gunma-chan**
Yay!

Ouch!

*I fell but I'm not hurt.*
**[16:03] Gunma-chan**
*Should I go play like this...*
**[16:07] Gunma-chan**
*Or go home... What to do...*
**[16:15] Gunma-chan**
But I promised to play and it doesn't
hurt anymore, so let's keep going!

Aoma! Let's go play!
**[16:32] Aoma's Mom**
Oh, Gunma-chan.
**[16:34] Aoma's Mom**
Aoma got a call from Meemi-chan and left.
**[16:53] Gunma-chan**
Was that... a dream?
**[16:56] Gunma-chan**
I hope today turns out to be a good day.
**[17:05] Gunma-chan**

What are you talking about?
**[17:25] Gunma-chan**
I'm off!
**[17:26] Gunma-chan's Mom**
Say hi to Aoma-chan for me.
**[17:31] Gunma-chan**
The weather's nice and my tummy's full!
**[17:36] Gunma-chan**
This is fun!
**[17:43] Gunma-chan**
But...
**[17:44] Gunma-chan**
If I run here I'll trip and fall,
so let's take it slow.
**[17:49] Gunma-chan**
*In my dream,*
**[17:51] Gunma-chan**
* even if I go play here Aoma*
* won't be home, so...*
**[17:56] Gunma-chan**
*Should I go home?*
**[17:59] Gunma-chan**
*Or maybe I'll go to Meemi's house?*
**[18:07] Gunma-chan**
Since I promised to play,
I'll go to Meemi's house!
**[18:13] Gunma-chan**
Don't trip... Don't trip...
**[18:18] Gunma-chan**
Aoma! Meemi! Let's go play!
**[18:28] Meemi's Mom**
Oh, Gunma-chan.
**[18:30] Meemi's Mom**
Meemi and Aoma-chan left saying they
were going to your home.
**[18:46] Gunma-chan**
Another dream?!
**[18:49] Gunma-chan**
What's going on...?
**[18:53] Gunma-chan**
I wonder... what's going to happen today...
**[19:00] Gunma-chan**

And then Mom will say,
**[19:17] Gunma-chan**
"What are you talking about?"
**[19:20] Gunma-chan's Mom**
What are you talking about?
**[19:27] Gunma-chan**
I'm off!
**[19:28] Gunma-chan's Mom**
Say hi to Aoma-chan for me.
**[19:32] Gunma-chan**
The weather's nice and my tummy's full!
**[19:40] Gunma-chan**
It's the same as my dream!
**[19:45] Gunma-chan**
* In my dream, even if I go*
* play, Aoma won't be home...*
**[19:52] Gunma-chan**
* If I don't go home and go to Meemi's,*
* Meemi won't be home either...*
**[19:59] Gunma-chan**
*What am I supposed to do?!*
**[20:23] Gunma-chan**
I'm home!
**[20:24] Gunma-chan's Mom**
Oh! You're home early.
**[20:30] Aoma/Meemi**
Gunma-chan! Let's go play!
**[20:37] Gunma-chan**
Okay!
**[20:47] Aoma**
What do you wanna do?
**[20:49] Gunma-chan**
First, both of you pinch my cheeks!
**[20:59] Gunma-chan**
Now twist it...
**[21:03] Gunma-chan**
Ow ow ow!
**[21:06] Aoma/Meemi**
Sorry!
**[21:07] Gunma-chan**
No, it's a good thing!
