Self Search-Part 1
"Maron?! Wake up!"
"She's probably in a bad mood..."
"Wake up! I'm leaving without you then! Is that what you want?!"
"Come on, Miyako. We'll be late."
"OK, Chiaki. Since she's not coming out!"
"Let her be."
'Chiaki....'
Maron is in her bed, thinking after waking up. She hasn't heard Miyako come and wake her up. Fin is outside, searching for other demons.
'Do I like you? Whenever you show up, my heart beats faster...'
Maron starts getting ready when she notices the time.
"Aahhh! I'm late again! It's unusual for Miyako to not come and wake me up. I hope nothing's wrong..."
"Maron!"
"Fin! Where have you been?"
"Looking for demons, what else?"
"I can't deal with it now! I'm late, again!"
"But-"
"No! I can't! Fin, just stay here until I come back!"
"Eh...okay...but-"
"I gotta go! See you later, Fin!"
Maron runs out the door, as usual, and rushes to get to her classroom.
'Do I like you, Chiaki? Do you like me?'
Maron continues running, when she finds two women fighting over the price of a beautiful sculpture of a swan.
"No! I'll pay 150 dollars for it!"
"I demand 200!"
"155!"
"190!"
"160!"
"185!"
"165!"
"180!"
"170 is my final offer!"
"Then forget it! 180 and nothing else!"
The two women kept on fighting over different works of art. Finally, the woman who appeared to be the customer agreed to pay $180 dollars for the swan sculpture.
Maron started running again. Finally, she got to her classroom. It was deserted.
'Hmm? There's no one here! What happened here?'
"Miyako! Chiaki! Packalemao sensei! Where did you guys go?"
'I'm alone....again.'
*****
"Happy Birthday, Maron!" A man called out to Maron when she woke up.
"Papa! Mama! Today's my birthday! Yay!"
"Here's your birthday present." A woman said afterwards, showing a box covered with star-designed wrapping paper.
Maron starts tearing open the box: first the wrapping paper, then the box itself.
"Ah! It's the doll I've wanted! Yay! Thank you, Mama, Papa!"
"Time to eat cake, Maron!" The woman cried out.
"Yay! What kind of cake is it this time, Mama?"
"Sponge cake, Maron, sponge cake."
"Ah! My favorite! We have it every year!" Maron's eyes are sparkling with happiness.
"Let's eat!" The man, apparently Maron's dad, shouted.
*****
'Back then, I was always happy. Now, I'm always alone and upset...'
Maron opens the door to her classroom. Suddenly, a whistle blows.
"Out!"
"Hai."
"You sleepy-head! Sleepy-head Maron!" Chiaki whispered to Miyako, loud enough for Maron to hear.
"I heard that, Chiaki!"
"Kusakabe?! This happens everyday, Maron. It has got to stop! Out!"
"Hai."
Miyako, Chiaki, Iinchou, and Maron are walking down the street to go home.
"Ah! Let's have some ice cream!" Maron said suddenly.
"Pig!" Chiaki said instantly.
"Well, you're arrogant, Chiaki!"
"Let's have some, you guys. We ought to have a break every now and then for some fun." Miyako laughs.
"Ok!" Iinchou replied.
Miyako's personal cell phone starts ringing. Her dad's at the other end of the line.
"Miyako...we have a problem."
"Eh? What is it?"
"Kaitou Jeanne and Kaitou Sindbad plan to strike again."
"Huh? Where?"
"It's in a store, Beautiful Palace, a sculpture place. They plan to steal a swan sculpture at 4:00!"
"I'll be right there, Dad!"
"Miyako! What are you going to set up this time?"
"It's a secret. You'll see. Get all the police officers you can! And hurry! We don't have much time!"
"Hai!"
"Miyako? What was that all about?" Maron questioned with a puzzled look.
"It's Jeanne and Sindbad!" Miyako said sternfully with the look she always has when she's about to catch Jeanne or Sindbad.
"The target this time is a swan scultore in Beautiful Palace." Miyako finished.
Maron makes a face.
"Sounds like a fight is going to occur." Chiaki stated.
"Huh? What do you mean by that, Chiaki?"
"Don't interrupt me! Or maybe....never mind. Your little mind woudn't understand." Chiaki grinned.
"Little?! Little?! That's what you think of me?! Why, I outta...!!!" Maron starts getting furious.
"Gomen! I gotta go, Maron! Jeanne and Sindbad will be coming soon!" Miyako interrupted.
"Eh? Do you guys realize that I'm still here?" Iinchou also interrupted.
"Hehe. Gomen Iinchou! Forgot about you!" Miyako, Maron, and Chiaki all said together.
Everyone started laughing and smiled.
"See you guys later!" Maron and Chiaki said at the same time. Both of them blushed.
Maron walks home, alone, to get ready for her checkmate. She thinks about Chiaki.
'Why does my heart beat faster when I'm around you? Does that mean I like you?'
Fin greets her and tells her about the demon. The time is 3:58. Maron gets ready and starts changing into Jeanne.
"Fin, please." She holds up her rosary.
"Jeanne d'Arc, give me your power..."
She glows a pink color.
"Strong and serious..."
"Matchless and marvelous..."
"Energetic and courageous!"
Jeanne is all set and fired up to go. On the way to Beautiful Palace, she talks to Fin.
"By the way, Fin...how many times have I told you not to send out a notice without my consent?!"
"Gomen." Fin falls down first.
"Well, let's go!"
