Phoenix Wonderland
1
Boy
Hurry, Mommy!
Let's go!
2
Mother
Yes, yes.
Let's find the back of the line.
3
Girl
Are we at the fishies yet?
4
Father
We should be soon.
While we wait, why don't we play a word game?
5
Emu
Hehe...
6
Len
<Emu...?>
7
Nene
What are you smiling at?
8
Emu
I just can't help but feel happy watching that family enjoy the fish coaster together!
9
Nene
Yeah, it's really become a popular ride.
10
Rui
Yes, it's wonderful to see that it has since it was originally slated to be scrapped...
11
Emu
Yeah!
I mean, look at all the people lining up to go on it!
12
Emu
I'm so glad that we were able to save Grandpa's park...
13
Emu
(Back then, I was totally convinced that it wouldn't be possible.)
14
Emu
(The Trampoline Dome, the haunted house, the merry-go-round... All of it was gonna be gone, but...)
15
Emu
(Tsukasa said so himself that time.)
16
Tsukasa
Regardless of operations and visitor totals, everyone that comes here wants to smile!
17
Tsukasa
Which means there has to be a way for us to reach thousands of people all at once and make them smile!!
18
Emu
...
19
Emu
(If Tsukasa hadn't said that, I probably wouldn't have seen those kids smiling just now.)
20
Emu
(Not only that...)
21
Rui
Yes. More people began to visit after we put on more and more shows at the Wonder Stage... However, lately, something seems different about the park, no?
22
Rui
I believe we have our ambassadorial performances to thank for that.
23
Emu
(It wasn't just Tsukasa. Everyone helped save Phoenix Wonderland and return it to what it was like when Grandpa was still around—a park that's full of smiles.)
24
Emu
(Hehe...
My dream came true because of them.)
25
Emu
(Then...)
26
Emu
(That means, I...)
27
Rui
Emu? Is everything okay?
28
Emu
Oh...
29
Emu
S-Sorry, I...
30
Emu
The truth is...
This weird feeling's been lingering inside me ever since Tsukasa began attending that workshop.
31
Emu
He kept getting better and better at acting, which made me really happy. I wanted to cheer him on.
32
Emu
But...
33
Emu
When Tsukasa said that he wanted to perform elsewhere in order to make his dream come true, a part of me started to believe that we'd have to say goodbye to each other soon...
34
Emu
That was when I began hesitating...
35
Nene
Emu...
36
Emu
But... But I understand now.
37
Emu
You guys invited me to hang out with you and see the park to show me the smiles on all our guests' faces.
38
Emu
My dream of seeing Phoenix Wonderland become filled with smiles is within grasp.
39
Emu
And you guys helped make that happen...
40
Emu
So, now it's my turn!
41
Emu
Since you all encouraged me to achieve my dream, I want to support you guys too.
42
Emu
I really don't want us to split up...
That's probably never gonna change.
43
Emu
But I want to show my support to Tsukasa, and you guys too, as you all reach for your goals.
44
Nene
Thanks for telling us...
45
Nene
Yeah, having to split up is sad...
That feeling's also been lingering inside me.
46
Rui
Me too.
I even sort of saw a clear vision the other day how that may actually happen in the future...
47
Rui
Which made me...
Well, feel the same way as you both.
48
Emu
*Nod*
49
Rui
However, I arrived at the same conclusion as you two.
50
Rui
Yes, it is sad that we're eventually going to have to go our separate ways, but I still want to be supportive of you all as you achieve your dreams.
51
Emu
Rui...
52
Rui
And I've been thinking of a way to deal with both...
53
Nene
Both? What do you mean?
54
Rui
Ah, excuse me. That part only involves me...
55
Rui
For now, I'm glad to see that you're feeling better, Emu.
56
Emu
Yeah, I feel a lot better now!
57
Emu
So, moving forward, I'm gonna sit front and center as I cheer you guys on!
58
Nene
Thank goodness...
I'm really glad you're all better now.
59
Rui
You really do look your best when there's a smile on your face, Emu.
60
Miku
<Yeah, I think so too!
I'm so glad that you're feeling better now!>
61
Emu
Oh... Is that why you invited me here today? You guys were all worried about me...?
62
Nene
Hmm... Yeah, a little.
63
Rui
We noticed that you seemed a little out of sorts lately. We told the others, and Len came up with the idea of inviting you to hang out as a way to cheer you up.
64
Emu
R-Really...?!
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you guys feel so concerned...
65
Emu
And thank you, Len!
I feel all better now because of you!
66
Len
<Hehe. Glad to hear it!
I mean, seeing you frowning also made me kinda sad!>
67
Nene
I'm glad this went so well...
68
Rui
Me too.
However, it was also a reminder...
69
Rui
About us... Our futures...
70
Nene
Our futures...
71
Nene
(Tsukasa and I want to become actors, and Rui a director. Eventually, we're all gonna have to say goodbye to the Wonder Stage to pursue our goals.)
72
Nene
(Unfortunately, when that happens...
Emu's gonna be so...)
73
KAITO
<We've been here for quite a while now. When is Tsukasa's show supposed to start?>
74
Emu
Oh, we should get going since he said that it's free seating...!
75
Emu
We've gotta grab some spots where we can see him really well!
76
Nene
Right...
77
Rui
Then, let's go see Tsukasa's big performance.
78
Emu
Yeah!
