    Mel-chan, you know them?
[00:34] (Flashback) ---
    Yup!

    She's... Shido Mel is a

[00:41] (Flashback) ---
    What?!
[00:42] (Flashback) Mira
    I knew she looked familiar.
[00:44] (Flashback) Mel
    An-An, Sarara! I'm back! Definitely back!
[00:47] (Flashback) Mel
    We can do Meltic StAr together again!
[00:50] (Flashback) Anna
    Surely you jest.
[00:53] (Flashback) Mel
    An-An?
[00:55] (Flashback) Anna
    Sara and I are all Meltic StAr needs.
[00:57] (Flashback) Anna
    I personally won't be taking you back.
[01:02] (Flashback) Sara
    Sorry.
[01:11] Mira
    I can't believe Mel-chan was

    Indeed, it's only fitting that

    Let's hereby swear to compete with as much

    Huh?
[03:47] Aud
    What was that voice?
[03:48] Emo
    That sounded like...
[03:49] Mira
    Wasn't that...
[03:52] All
    Mel-chan!
[03:53] Mel
    Mel-Mel wants to compete with An-An!
[03:55] Anna
    To compete?!
[03:57] Mel
    Mel-Mel will take part
    in the sports festival too!
[03:59] Mel
    And if Mel-Mel can beat An-An...

    Mel?
[04:09] Girl
    Wait, isn't that Mel-chan?
[04:11] Girl
    The Meltic StAr member
    who disappeared years ago!
[04:14] Girl
    She's back?
[04:16] Girl
    But something seems weird...
[04:17] Girl
    Can Mel-chan return to Meltic StAr?
[04:23] Anna
    Why on earth should I agree
    to a competition with you?!
[04:27] Mel
    Mel-Mel will prove her talents so that
    An-An will insist she rejoin Meltic StAr!
[04:34] Anna
    What makes you think—
[04:35] Sara
    Fine!
[04:38] Mel
    Sarara!
[04:39] Sara
    If you can prove you're
    more incredible than Anna,
[04:42] Sara
    we'd be happy to have you
     back in Meltic StAr.
[04:46] Sara
    It's bothering you, isn't it, Anna?
[04:49] Sara
    So why not blow off some stress
    with a friendly competition?
[04:52] Sara
    That's how you usually do things.
[04:55] Aud
    Anna-sama, accept!
[04:57] Aud
    Yeah! Yeah!
[04:58] Aud
    Prove that the two of you can
    handle Meltic StAr yourselves!
[05:02] Aud
    I think the three of you are better!
[05:03] Aud
    I want Meltic StAr back the way it was!
[05:11] Anna
    Very well.
[05:12] Anna
    If you all insist...
[05:14] Anna
    Then I accept your challenge indeed!
[05:16] Mel
    All right!

    Please come back and give
    us a three-person concert!

    Thank you! Thank you very much!
[05:44] Emo
    Mel is emoliciously popular!
[05:46] Rin
    She's really got the crowd revved up!
[05:49] Rin
    Yeah!
[05:50] Mira
    Just having Mel-chan around
    makes everything more fun.
[05:53] Mel
    Yes! I will win!
[05:55] Mel
    A perfect victory!
[05:59] Mel
    Yeah!

    I shall drive her to defeat once more!

    We're gonna lose!
[06:38] Emo
    Mel-chan?
[06:39] Mel
    Grin...
[06:40] Mel
    Understand?
[06:43] Emo
    The balls!
[06:44] Mira
    She stuck them together?
[06:45] Mel
    Throwing!
[06:48] Rin
    Incredible.
[06:49] Rin
    She carried as many as she could
    as close to the basket as possible
[06:52] ---
    and threw them all at once!
[06:53] Rin
    It's the ultimate paper-toss technique!
[06:56] Mira
    It is?
[06:56] Mira
    Okay, I'll do it too!
[07:01] Ann
    The White Team wins!
[07:07] Anna
    I hate this!
[07:09] Rin
    Next up is the teachers' costume relay race.
[07:15] Mira
    I gotta get us ready for the next event!
[07:20] Sara
    Hey, Mirai-kun.
[07:24] Aud
    Keep running, teacher!
[07:27] Sara
    I feel a bit bad...
[07:29] Sara
    We made the once-a-year
    sports festival all about us.
[07:33] Mira
    No, it's okay.
[07:36] Mira
    I think everyone's having fun competing
    alongside Mel-chan and Anna-chan.
[07:42] Sara
    They're true geniuses
    when it comes to entertainment.
[07:48] Mira
    But... do they really have to compete?
[07:52] Sara
    Their reunion was so sudden
    that it left Anna uncertain.
[07:55] Sara
    She's very stubborn, as you know.
[08:02] Sara
    Mirai-kun, why don't you
    indulge them a bit longer?
[08:06] Sara
    If you all help them,
    I'm sure Meltic StAr will...
[08:11] ---
    Yeah!
[08:11] Mira
    Of course, Sara-chan!
[08:13] Mira
    I'll do everything I can.
[08:17] Sara
    Thank you.
[08:18] Sara
    Miracle Kiratts really is our ultimate rival.
[08:22] Mira
    You bet!
[08:26] Sara
    Don't you have to prepare for the next event?
[08:29] Mira
    I gotta hurry!

[09:16] ---
    Wow!
[09:17] Mel
    This looks tasty!
[09:20] Mel
    Just delicious!
[09:21] Mel
    I love Mama Mira-Mira's lunches!
[09:24] Rin
    Mel-chan, what happened
    with you and the other girls?
[09:29] Mira
    Yeah. Why do you have to compete
    to rejoin Meltic StAr?
[09:36] Mel
    An-An is angry with Mel-Mel.
[09:39] Mel
    I say I'm sorry all the time,
    but she won't talk to me...
[09:43] Mel
    That's why.
[09:45] Emo
    Why exactly is Akagi Anna mad at you?
[09:48] Mel
    Probably because Mel-Mel went away...
SIGN    Three Years Ago
[09:56] (Flashback) Mel
    Today's PriChan was another huge success!
[09:58] (Flashback) Sara
    Yeah! It was a lot of fun too.
[10:00] (Flashback) Anna
    We're only just getting started!
[10:03] (Flashback) Anna
    Meltic StAr's PriChan simply
    must extend its reach worldwide!
[10:14] (Flashback) Mel
    A shooting star!
[10:16] (Flashback) Sara
    It's true!
[10:16] (Flashback) Mel
    We gotta make a wish!
[10:18] (Flashback) Sara
    I hope we learn to perform in ways
    that resonate with even more with people!
[10:22] (Flashback) Mel
    I hope I get to eat donuts
    every day from now on!
[10:26] (Flashback) Anna
    I hope my unrivaled charm
    doesn't send the globe into a panic!
[10:30] (Flashback) Anna
    I don't want my talent to destroy the world!
[10:33] (Flashback) Anna
    And my everything—
[10:34] (Flashback) Sara
    It's gone.
[10:35] (Flashback) Anna
    Agh, I do hate how quickly
    shooting stars disappear!
[10:39] (Flashback) Anna
    If only I had a shooting star
    of my own that would never fall...
[10:43] (Flashback) Mel
    A shooting star for An-An?
[10:45] (Flashback) Anna
    If we could get our own shining star,
    Meltic StAr could shine ever brighter!
[10:51] (Flashback) Anna
    Don't you think so, Sara?
[10:53] (Flashback) Sara
    I certainly do, Anna.
[10:54] (Flashback) Mel
    Meltic StAr could shine ever brighter?
[10:59] Mel
    So Mel-Mel went looking for a
    shooting star that would never fall,
[11:03] Mel
    and then I found this...
[11:06] Mel
    Mel-Mel did it for An-An...
[11:11] Mira
    Mel-chan...
[11:30] Sara
    Anna, you're...
[11:33] Anna
    Stupid Mel...
[11:51] Rin
    It's now time for the afternoon events.
[11:53] Rin
    First up is the cheer competition!
[11:55] Rin
    The White Team will be
    performing their flag dance.
[11:57] Mira
    Let's go, everyone!
[12:10] (Flashback) Mira
    It seems like Anna-chan's upset that
    Mel-chan left without saying anything.
[12:14] (Flashback) Mira
    She said she left to find her a star, but...
[12:16] (Flashback) Emo
    What is that even supposed to mean?
[12:19] (Flashback) Emo
    It makes no sense.
[12:21] (Flashback) Mira
    I wonder if we can help somehow.
[12:23] (Flashback) Rin
    Why don't we give them a chance
     to talk it out during an event?
[12:27] (Flashback) All
    Yeah.
[12:32] ---
    Yay!
[12:35] ---
    Yay!
[12:38] Sara
    Anna...
[12:41] Anna
    Of course! The next performance is ours!
[12:43] All
    Anna! Anna! Anna!
[12:47] Anna
    Red is the color of passion!
[12:49] Anna
    The color of Akagi Anna!
[12:52] Sign
    Silence
[12:54] Rin
    Wh-What a unique cheer style!
[12:57] Rin
    Now, as a friendly reminder,
    the cheer competition isn't scored.
[13:00] Anna
    Drat! Surely we would've won that one!
[13:04] Sara
    Would we?

[13:17] Rin
    At last, it's time for our final
    event of the day: the team relay!
[13:24] Rin
    This relay will decide the winner!
[13:26] Sara
    Anna, you should stop being so stubborn.
[13:29] Sara
    Just hear Mel-chan out—
[13:31] Anna
    I will not!
[13:35] Mira
    Anna-chan's the anchor for the Red Team,
[13:37] Mira
    just like we expected.
[13:38] Rin
    Sara-chan already agreed to our plan.
[13:40] Emo
    Then all that's left is...
[13:42] ---
    Yeah.
[13:44] Emo
    Mel!
[13:45] Mel
    What is it?
[13:46] Emo
    This is the final event.
[13:48] Rin
    Let's show Anna-chan how you really feel!
[13:51] Mira
    Yeah! Your heart will
    reach her with a sparkle.
[13:55] Mel
    A sparkle?
[14:00] Mel
    A sparkle...
[14:03] Girl
    On your marks!
[14:05] Girl
    Get set!
[14:08] Anna
    Mel left without a single word to me.
[14:11] Anna
    Yet she expects me to simply
    welcome her back?
[14:14] Anna
    My pride shan't allow it!
[14:24] Anna
    Oh, so you're their anchor?
[14:26] Anna
    But I'm afraid our second runner
    took an insurmountable lead.
[14:30] Anna
    Not even Mel could catch up to Sara now—
[14:32] ---
    An-An!
[14:34] Anna
    Did she overtake Sara?!
[14:39] Anna
    Why is Mel on the Red Team?
[14:40] Mira
    Sara-chan and Mel-chan switched places.
[14:43] Mira
    Because Mel-chan has something for you.
[14:46] Anna
    Something for me?
[14:47] Mel
    An-An!
[14:50] Anna
    I refuse to take it.
[14:51] Mel
    But then you'll lose.
[14:53] Mel
    Then, here.
[14:55] Mel
    Remember this?
[14:58] (Flashback) Anna
    What's this?
[14:59] (Flashback) Mel
    An-An's star!
[15:02] (Flashback) Mel
    See, when a shooting star burns up...
[15:06] (Flashback) Mel
    sometimes bits of it fall to the ground!
[15:08] (Flashback) Sara
    She had them sent here from the North Pole.
[15:11] (Flashback) Mel
    Now it won't disappear!
[15:13] (Flashback) Anna
    What a truly ignorant gesture.
[15:15] (Flashback) Anna
    You can't wish on stars
     that aren't in the sky.
[15:18] (Flashback) Mel
    In the sky?
[15:20] (Flashback) Anna
    If it's not in the sky,
    it's not my shooting star.
[15:23] (Flashback) Anna
    Of course, I'll still take one. For your sake.
[15:27] Mel
    That's why...
[15:28] ---
    I went searching for a star for you
    that wouldn't fall.
[15:31] Mel
    I searched and searched...
     and I finally found it!
[15:36] Anna
    D-Don't tell me you went
     to America for that...
[15:40] Mel
    Anna, run!
[15:41] Sara
    Mel left for you, and she's returned for you!
[15:45] Sara
    Now's the time for Meltic StAr to run!
[15:49] Sara
    Mirai-kun!
[15:49] ---
    Yeah!
[15:57] Mira
    Do you see now?
[15:58] Mira
    That Mel-chan wanted to find
    you your very own star?
[16:02] Mira
    She just kept searching for it...
    which is why she didn't come back!

    Our shining Meltic StAr!
[19:54] Mel
    I brought that fragment
    back from the North Pole!
[19:58] Mira
    The North Pole?
[19:59] Rin
    Shooting stars that don't burn
    up in Earth's atmosphere
[20:01] ---
    are frequently found at the North Pole.
[20:04] Emo
    They are?
[20:05] Mel
    But a fallen star is
    no longer a shooting star.
[20:10] Mel
    That's why Mel-Mel wanted to find
    the shooting star An-An wanted...
[20:14] Mel
    One that would never fall!
[20:17] Mel
    That's why Mel-Mel went to the USA!
[20:20] Mel
    Mel-Mel studied and studied,
[20:23] Mel
    and joined NASA to seek out
    a shooting star that wouldn't fall.
[20:27] Mel
    NASA?
[20:27] Emo
    Nice what?
[20:28] Rin
    It's America's aerospace bureau.
[20:30] Rin
    It's difficult to get into
    without lots of hard work studying.
[20:34] Mel
    And at last, I found it...
[20:41] Mel
    A shooting star for An-An
    that will never fall!
[20:45] Mira
