Episode 10: Matthew

Show opens with the regular theme

Suguru is sitting alone at a table in the command ship galley, drinking his cup of coffee. Hamaji enters and sits down with Suguru, but Suguru is deep in thought and does not notice him.

Hamaji: Good morning, Suguru-kun… Suguru-kun

Suguru: Oh! I'm sorry. Good morning, Hamaji-kun. I was just thinking about some things that happened yesterday.

Hamaji: Oh! About you and Mahoro-san spending the night together.

Suguru: Please don't start with that. That is all I've heard this morning from the girls and Kiyomi-kun. Did you get to spend some time alone with Minawa-chan?

Hamaji: We talked for a while. She still spends most of the time apologizing, and little else, even when there is nothing to be sorry about.

Suguru: She has had a very difficult life. I think time will be the only cure. That and someone to care for her.

Hamaji: And I know she said that she loves me, but I'm not sure she understands what that even means.

Suguru: She may not. Love was probably the one emotion Kaemisa wanted to do away with the most. I'm sure no one ever demonstrated that emotion towards her. It may become your job to teach her what love is all about.

Hamaji: And on top of that, she is so afraid of hurting someone because she doesn't know her own strength. Did you know she can lift me using only one hand?

Suguru: That doesn't surprise me at all. I'm sure that Mahoro could do the same.

Hamaji: Speaking of Mahoro-san, where is she this morning?

Suguru: She went to talk to Leesha-san this morning about some things. How about Minawa-chan?

Hamaji: The girls took her to see if they could find something to wear other than her Kaemisa battle suit. (Silence) Did you know that if the Saint doctors hadn't removed the brain implants, she would not have lived more than a month or two longer?

Suguru and Hamaji sit quietly for a moment

Hamaji: Suguru-kun, you and Mahoro-san talked with Leesha-san last night. Did you find out why she wanted to meet with you?

Suguru: I think some of the reasons. (Taking a deep breath) Do you remember when she said that she had spent some time on Earth?

Hamaji: I think I remember something about that. I was kind of distracted last night.

Suguru: It turns out that my Grandfather rescued her and her crew from Kaemisa.

Hamaji: And I remember Commander Hayato saying something about that at one point or another.

Suguru: Well as it turned out, Leesha-san and my Grandfather became quite good friends.

Hamaji: I could see how that could happen. She seems like a very nice person.

Suguru: In fact they lived together as husband and wife.

Hamaji: Wow! That's weird… ahhh… wait a minute… they didn't… ahhh…

Suguru: I think they must have. Leesha-san is my mother's mother.

Hamaji: That means that Leesha-san is…

Suguru: (Quietly) Leesha-san is my Grandmother.

Hamaji: Oh! Wow! Ah, does anyone else know?

Suguru: Only Mahoro… and you. I want to tell everyone but… I'm still not sure what to think of all of this.

Hamaji: But that means you have a family.

Suguru: Yeah. I guess that's what it means. Ah, could I ask a favor of you. I do intend to tell everyone, but I'm not sure I'm quite ready to yet.

Hamaji: Don't worry I won't tell anyone.

Chizu: (From behind) Tell anybody what?

Hamaji and Suguru both jump at Chizu's voice. The turn to find that Chizu, Rin, Miyuki and Minawa have entered the galley. Minawa is dressed in a simple tee shirt and a pair of shorts.

Hamaji: Very pretty, Minawa-chan.

Miyuki: Don't change the subject.

Rin: What won't you tell anybody?

Hamaji turns to look at Suguru and then turns back to the girls, back to Suguru and once again to the girls.

Miyuki: Well… You know we'll get it out of you one way or another.

Hamaji: (Taking one last look at Suguru) That Suguru-kun… ahhh… that Suguru-kun… ahhh… That Suguru-kun and Mahoro-san …last night… ahhh…

Rin: WHAT!

Miyuki: YOU DIDN'T!

Suguru: You don't understand…

Chizu: Oh! We understand (winking her eye at Suguru)

Rin: HOW COULD YOU?

Suguru: But…

Miyuki: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!

Rin and Miyuki turn and storm out of the galley. Chizu follows them, leaving Minawa who is totally confused by everything that has happened.

Hamaji and Suguru turn to look at each other.

Suguru: Thank you… I think.

Hamaji: I can't help it if they jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Minawa: You mean that Suguru-san and Onee-chan didn't spend the night kissee-kissee?

Hamaji freezes for a moment and then looks at Suguru. He begins to laugh out loud. Suguru tries to stifle his laugh, but cannot and begins to laugh out loud also. Mahoro enters and looks at the two laughing.

Mahoro: What is so funny? And what is wrong with the girls? Miyuki-chan and Rin-chan just stomped right past me in the corridor.

Suguru: (Catching his breath) Nothing Mahoro. They just misunderstood something that Hamaji-kun said.

Mahoro: Oh!

Suguru: Could you clear that up with them before it gets out of hand.

Hamaji: Sure. Oh Minawa-chan. As I tried to say before, you look very pretty. I think you look good in the tee shirt and shorts.

Minawa: Thank you Hamaji-kun.

Hamaji: Minawa-chan, why don't you come with me to find the girls. I will try to smooth things over.

Hamaji and Minawa exit the galley leaving Suguru and Mahoro alone.

Mahoro: So what did the girls misunderstand?

Suguru: You're not going to like this… but… I was telling Hamaji-kun about Leesha-san being my Grandmother. I needed to talk to someone about it. I asked him not to tell anyone yet. Just at that moment, the girls came in and thought that we were talking about you and me last night. I think they thought that we spent the night… ahhh… (blushing) well, you know.

Mahoro: But we didn't… I mean that we…

Suguru: You know that and I know that, but Miyuki-chan and Rin-chan blew up about it. Although, I don't know what they are so angry about. They almost pushed us into the same room. But I think Hamaji-kun will smooth things over… I hope. (Silence) So Mahoro, was Leesha-san able to answer your questions?

Mahoro: Most of them. I did not realize how similar my android body is to that of an Terran or Saint. Your Grandfather had planned for this replacement android body more than a year ago and it was built to very precise specifications. Leesha-san didn't know why, but he was insistent that Leesha-san talk to Matthew to approve my return. She said that normally such a request would be out of the question, but Matthew gave his approval almost immediately. Matthew talked about how important you and I were to the future of Earth and Saint. I am more confused now than I was before.

Suguru: Did she mention anything about me?

Mahoro: She said that she would talk with you before we returned to Earth, but that is all she would say.

Suguru: Mahoro, about last night. If you think it's better if we sleep in separate rooms, I'm fine with that. I don't want to do anything that would embarrass or hurt you or make you uncomfortable.

Mahoro: You were a perfect gentleman last night… even if you did steal the covers. And I have a little secret to confess. When you fell asleep, I cuddled up right next to you. It was nice.

Suguru: (Blushing) So you don't mind if we continue…

Mahoro: As long as you behave yourself… and don't hog the covers… I wouldn't mind.

Miyuki storms into the galley.

Miyuki: I want an answer. Hamaji-kun said that you and Mahoro-san didn't do anything last night but sleep. I want to hear it from you.

Suguru: Miyuki-chan, even though we shared the same bed, I can assure you nothing else happened.

Mahoro: Except that he took all of the covers.

Miyuki: Nothing happened?

Suguru: Nothing happened.

Miyuki: So what is it that Hamaji-kun can't tell us? We've never kept secrets from each other before. We shared everything. Why are you starting now?

Rin, Chizu, Hamaji (with Minawa in hand) and Kiyomi enter the galley.

Suguru: Because I just found something out and I'm not sure how to explain it to people yet. I'm not really sure how to explain it to me.

Miyuki: You didn't have any trouble explaining it to Hamaji-kun. Why should it be more difficult to explain it to us?

Suguru: (Looking at Hamaji, who shakes his head. After taking a deep breath) Miyuki-chan, what do you know about your grand parents? You've had the chance to meet them and spend time with them, right?

Miyuki: They are all alive and we visit them whenever we get the chance.

Suguru: I barely remember my father's parents. They both died when I was very little. You met my Mother's Father, but I had never known anything about my other Grandmother.

Miyuki: I don't understand

Suguru: My Grandfather always said that she had left him long before I was born. He always had all kinds of wild stories about her, but they were all so fantastic I never believed any of them.

Miyuki: You found out something about your Grandmother from Leesha-san?

Suguru: (Taking a deep breath) Leesha-san is my Grandmother.

Miyuki and Rin: What?

Suguru: Leesha-san was stranded on Earth for nearly twenty years. During that time, my Grandfather hid her and her crew from Kaemisa. They fell in love, and well… my Mother was born.

Miyuki: (Sitting down) Oh wow!

Kiyomi: You're sure she is telling you the truth?

Suguru: What reason would she have to lie? And then there is the picture of her and my Grandfather and my mother. There is no mistaking my Grandfather, even if he was forty years younger.

Chizu: You don't have any other relatives that are alive?

Suguru: None that I know of.

Chizu: Well, I think we should all be happy that he found her. He still has family.

Rin: But Chizu-chan, that means that Suguru-kun is… part space alien.

Chizu: Well we always knew he was kind of special.

Suguru: From what I've been able to tell, there doesn't seem to be much difference between us.

Chizu: And he still is the same Suguru-kun that we've always known. He hasn't changed just because he found his Grandmother.

Rin: How do you feel about all of this, Suguru-kun?

Suguru: I don't know. That's the problem. I really haven't had time to think about it. That is why I didn't want to tell you yet. I don't really know how I feel or what to think.

Miyuki: I'm sorry. I was so caught up with thinking about you and Mahoro-san together last night… I wasn't thinking.

Rin: Right! That's what started this whole mess. Well Miyuki-chan, did they?

Mahoro and Suguru: (In absolutely perfect unison) No we didn't

Everybody just stands there for a moment, looking at Mahoro and Suguru. Then they begin to laugh.

Suguru: What's so…

Mahoro: … funny?

Miyuki: You two are more in tune with each other than I could have imagined. Maybe you do belong together.

Everybody continues to laugh, with Mahoro and Suguru eventually joining in. They gain their composure.

Mahoro: Has anyone seen Saori-san today?

Kiyomi: The last time I saw her, she was with the twins.

Mahoro: You left her alone with those poor defenseless boys?

Kiyomi: They are not so defenseless. They each beat me easily at Kendo sparing. I don't think they were even half trying.

Suguru: I'm not sure they would know how to defend themselves against her ultimate attack.

Miyuki: We better go find them.

Everyone leaves the galley.

Two days have passed. The scene changes to the interior of Suguru's and Mahoro's quarters. Suguru is sitting in a chair and Mahoro is sitting on the edge of the bed.

Suguru: I talked to Ryuga-sensei today. He says that the ship will be ready tomorrow for departure… And all of Ryuga-sensei's weapon systems have been down graded or removed.

Mahoro: I know… I was there for the process with Sera-san… It was not easy for him… You know, I can't wait to get home. I miss the baths.

Suguru: The same here. Has Leesha-san talked to you at all about seeing me?

Mahoro :She has said nothing to me.

Suguru: Time is running out. I will try to talk to her tomorrow in the morning.

Mahoro: It is late. We should get ready for bed.

Suguru: (Suguru almost automatically turn with his back to Mahoro and begins to undress and get ready for bed) Mahoro, I was wondering, would you mind continuing this arrangement when we get back home?

Mahoro: (Doing the same) I guess it would be all right. I would have to re-arrange my room somewhat. But as long as we continue as we have been, I don't see any problem. (Mahoro finishes changing) I'm ready.

Suguru(who is likewise changed for bed) and Mahoro climb into bed and get under the covers. They give each other innocent hugs and kiss and then turn with their backs to each other. Mahoro reaches and moves a switch to turn the lights out. There is a moment of silence.

Mahoro: Suguru…

Suguru: Yes…

Mahoro: Do you mind if I cuddle up to you before you fall asleep?

Suguru: I would not mind at all.

Mahoro turns over and cuddles up close to Suguru's back.

Mahoro: Is this OK?

Suguru: It's wonderful.

Mahoro: I love you, Suguru

Suguru: I love you, Mahoro… and I'll try not to take all of the covers.

Fade to black

Cut to mid-show break

Scene opens in the ship's galley. Suguru, Hamaji, Minawa, Chizu and Shikijo are seated at the table drinking their coffee. Mahoro enters with breakfast.

Mahoro: I will be so glad to get back to Earth and be able to get some fresh foods instead of the preserved food here.

Chizu: I miss the noise. Everyone here is very nice, but they are so quiet.

Suguru: As funny as it sounds, I miss the smell of the Earth. The air is so clean that is has no smell of its own.

Hamaji: Where is everyone else?

Mahoro: Rin-chan, Miyuki-chan and Kiyomi-kun were up very early and had breakfast, but I am not sure of where they were going.

Suguru: Chizu-chan, you have been spending time with the twins. How are they doing?

Chizu: They are very nice, but very quiet. It's so terrible though. The ship's crew will not have anything to do with them. Only Leesha-san will talk to them. I've watched crew members go well out of their way not to make any contact with them.

Shikijo: It is terrible. They are so nice and they are smart. I would not mind having a whole class like them.

Chizu: Not to mention that they are cute.

Shikijo: Nothing like that ever entered my mind.

Chizu: Well I wouldn't mind spending time with either of them.

Suguru: Minawa-chan, are you ready to go home?

Minawa: Very much so. Especially with Hamaji-kun.

Hamaji takes hold of Minawa's hand and Minawa rests her head on Hamaji's shoulder.

Chizu: Geez, what a cute couple? You look as good together as Mahoro-san and Suguru-kun.

Minawa: (With a big smile) All kissee-kissee like Suguru-kun and Onee-chan?

Hamaji turns a bright red, along with Suguru and Mahoro. Chizu and Shikijo both begin to laugh.

Shikijo: Hmmm… What makes me think that there is a bit more than "kissee-kissee" going on around here.

Chizu: Or maybe someone would like there to be more going on than "kissee-kissee".

Suguru: There is nothing going on.

Chizu: Nothing. I think the color of you face says different.

Suguru: Chizu-chan, really. Maybe some hugging and kissing, but nothing else.

Minawa: Hamaji-kun, would you like to be kissee-kissee with me?

With that Minawa plants a big kiss on Hamaji's cheek and Hamaji begins to blush all the more (if that is possible)

Chizu: Don't freak out now Hamaji-kun. Give the lovely lady a kiss.

Hamaji: Kiss… Give her… kiss… (Hamaji's mind clears sufficiently for him to grasp the situation) Kiss!

Hamaji turns to embrace Minawa, but Minawa is also turning to do the same. In the process though Hamaji's and Minawa's heads come together with a resulting thud.

Shikijo: Oooo! That has got to hurt.

Minawa: I'm sorry, Hamaji-kun. I'm so sor…

In mid-word, Hamaji gives Minawa a kiss on the lips. It startles Minawa at first, but she quickly begins to share the kiss with Hamaji.

Hamaji: (After the kiss) Minawa-chan, there is nothing to be sorry about.

Suguru: Maybe you'll just have to give her a kiss every time she tries to say that she is sorry.

Hamaji starts to blush again as the others begin to laugh again.

Minawa: (Seeing Hamaji blushing) I'm sor…

Hamaji, hearing Minawa, kisses her again.

Hamaji: (After the kiss) I think I like that idea.

Everyone but Minawa (who looks like she still does not understand) begin to laugh. It takes a moment for Minawa to catch on, but when she does, she give Hamaji a kiss in return.

Leesha, enters the galley with Rin, Miyuki and Kiyomi.

Rin: What's so funny?

Chizu: Hamaji-kun thinks he found a way to have Minawa-chan say I'm sorry less often.

Shikijo: I'm not so sure that it will work. From the looks of it she might start saying in on purpose.

Leesha: Sera-san and Ryuga-san have informed me that they will be ready to depart in three hours. I'm sure you have some packing to do. Suguru-kun, I still need to talk with you and Mahoro-san. It would be best if we did that now.

Suguru: I guess we can, but Mahoro and I need to clean up from breakfast.

Shikijo: Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Mahoro: Thank you Saori-san

Mahoro and Suguru exit the galley with Leesha and walk along with her.

Leesha: You have some very good friends, Suguru-kun. They are very concerned about you.

Suguru: We have all been very close since we started school. They stood by me when Mother and Father died.

Leesha: They were very concerned about my claim of being your Grandmother. They came to talk to me about it this morning. I'm not sure my explanation of the circumstances involved were sufficient, but I explained as best as I could.

Leesha stops at the end of a corridor. There is a large door with an ornate design on it.

Leesha: Suguru-kun and Mahoro-san, Matthew has asked to talk with you. I believe that he can explain many things better than I can, but I believe there is more to his request to speak to you. When you enter the room, you will find a white glowing circle on the floor in the middle of five pillars. Stand on the circle. You may feel a moment of discomfort, but it will pass quickly.

Mahoro: Is this like to boarding device to Ryuga-san's ship?

Leesha: Similar in theory.

Suguru: Aren't you coming with us?

Leesha: No. Only you and Mahoro-san were invited.

Leesha presses a button by the door and it slides open. Mahoro and Suguru enter the room. The door slides close behind them. They find the room to be exactly as Leesha had described it. They advance and stand next to each other, on the glowing circle, holding hands. Suddenly a bright glowing light surrounds them. Suguru's stomach feels like it has been twisted, but as Leesha said, it passes quickly.

When the glow subsides, Mahoro and Suguru find themselves in what looks to be a very large room, with the walls and ceiling so distant that they cannot be discerned. Standing at the top of a short flight of stairs is a person dressed in robes and with a hood over its head and obscuring the face. There is a musical sound which just seems to exist all around them.

Matthew: Greetings, Suguru and Mahoro. I am Matthew.

Mahoro recognizes the voice from their previous meeting.

Suguru: Good day, Matthew-sama.

Matthew: There is no need to be formal. I see that you are well Mahoro.

Mahoro: Thank you, Matthew. Everything is well.

Matthew: I apologize that I could not meet your one request, but it was to late to do anything about it.

Mahoro: As it turned out, it was unimportant.

Suguru looks at Mahoro quizzically, but she does not react.

Matthew: I will try to answer some of your questions, but first I must ask a favor of you. You have met Kaito and Riku.

Mahoro: Yes, they are fine young men.

Matthew: And Leesha has explained their current situation?

Suguru: Yes, I can understand somewhat how they feel.

Matthew: Leesha and I thought that they might be better received on the command ship, having had some contact with Earth, but if fact, that is not the case.

Suguru: My friends have noticed that. No one from the crew but Leesha-san will even talk to them.

Matthew: Superstition is a terrible thing.

Suguru: So what favor can we do for you?

Matthew: Is it possible that if the twins went to Earth, they could stay with you?

Mahoro: I guess that they could. It would require a bit of rearranging of the sleeping accommodations.

Suguru: I would worry about how we would explain their sudden appearance. Minawa-chan was presented as Mahoro's little sister.

Matthew: The people at Vesper have promised to help. A place to live where they will feel welcome is all that is required.

Suguru: I don't have a problem with it if Mahoro doesn't.

Mahoro: It seems that I am always cooking for a crowd. Two more will be no problem.

Matthew: Thank you very much. I appreciate your help. The second matter I need to tell you is about the young girl that you call Minawa.

Mahoro :Is there some problem?

Matthew: Our doctors did all they could to retract the cyber implants to her brain. They were causing considerable damage.

Suguru: She told Hamaji-kun that if nothing had been done, she would have lived only a month or two longer.

Matthew: This is true. The damage seems to be related to the area of the brain dealing with her emotions. They are not sure if the damage will heal with time. You will need to take good care of her.

Mahoro: I think she has found a good friend in Hamaji-kun.

Matthew: Her emotional response to some things seems quite muted, while others are quite intense and amplified, without any apparent reason.

Suguru: Is that why she is always saying that she is sorry, even when she has done nothing wrong.

Matthew: That may be part of the reason, but the major cause of that is the physical and emotional abuse she experienced.

Suguru: I still cannot believe that Kaemisa did such things to other humans. And to think that Minawa-chan was their 370th victim.

Matthew: Please take good care of her. She has found a special place in the hearts of those who her life has touched. Suguru, it is almost time for you and Mahoro to return home, but we must talk about your vision.

Suguru: Vision?… You mean my dream.

Matthew: Yes… Leesha informed me that your… ahhh… dream included a vision of a place called Silvaplanna.

Suguru: In my dream, it was a planet settled by both Saint and Earth. I was older and quite bitter and chasing Kaemisa androids that had escaped there.

Matthew: You must understand, our exploration ships only discovered this planet the very same day of your vision. It is the only planet other than Earth that we have found that can support life. There are many of our people who wish to settle there and end our journey. And the name Silvaplanna comes from our people's mythology. That you should share in this vision of our future is at the same time encouraging and disturbing. Suguru, the events of the past few months have changed the shape of the future of both of our peoples, and you and Mahoro seem to be at the center of this change. What the future will bring, I can no longer see.

Suguru: I'm not all that sure I am comfortable being in that position.

Matthew: I can understand your concern. Remember though, Mahoro and the rest of your friends will be there to help you.

Suguru: I know.

Matthew: Remember also that the threat from Kaemisa is still very real. The data they were able to obtain about Mahoro will enable them to build quite capable androids, although they will be missing the one element that makes Mahoro and her kind so special.

Suguru: And that is?

Matthew: A spirit… a soul if want to think of it that way. Of course that is what Kaemisa always wanted. Even the cyborg implants were designed to limit and destroy the human soul. It is that spirit, that gives the android compassion and the ability to feel, that makes them superior… But Doctor Cannon's androids will still be dangerous.

Mahoro: What are Saints plans now that you have found life?

Matthew: (Laughing) It is quite funny. I'm not really sure that we ever had a true plan of what to do if we found other life during our journeys. It is most likely that if we had found life earlier we might have made contact and then moved on. Now we have a true dilemma. Most, if not all of our people, have tired of the journey. We also realize, that our place is not on Earth. We would always be seen as invaders, even if our intent was friendly. It is most likely that we will settle on this new planet that we have found. It is close enough for us to maintain relations with the Earth, but far enough away that we would not be seen as a threat.

Suguru: I have been thinking about this and as strange as it might seem, there is one other possibility to consider. Taking into account the many similarities between our races, is it possible that your place of origin might have been the Earth at one time, and that you have come full circle to return home?

Matthew: (After a short silence) That is something to consider… It is almost time for you to return to the command ship.

Suguru: I have one more question to ask, if you don't mind.

Matthew: Certainly.

Suguru: Among the Saint, does it happen that two people have the same dream at the same time?

Matthew: It is not uncommon for two people with a close relationship to share visions. Usually they represent shared experiences of the past, but visions of the future are also possible. Has this happened to you?

Mahoro: Suguru and I had very similar dreams during our journey to the command ship.

Matthew: May I ask the nature of the dream?

Suguru: (Both Suguru and Mahoro blush a bit) It was nothing in particular.

Matthew: (With a little laugh) Oh… I think I understand. Thank you for coming to speak with me. I am sure that we will have other opportunities in the future. Please send my regards to all of your acquaintances at Vesper

Mahoro: I will do that.

Matthew: And my deepest thanks for your help with the twins.

Suguru: We will do our best to make them feel welcome.

Matthew: I bid you farewell.

At those words, the place on the floor where Mahoro and Suguru begins to glow and they are enveloped by a bright light. When the light dissipates, Mahoro and Suguru are gone.

Matthew: Your grandson has far greater insight than any of us suspected, Yuichiro.

Voice of Yuichiro: That he does. And I must say they make a fine looking couple.

Matthew: You are quite correct about that.

Matthew stands for a moment and then draws back the hood he is wearing, showing his face, which is a perfect image of Suguru.

Voice of Riku: I can't believe it, They actually seem happy that we are coming with them.

Voice of Kaito: Especially Chizu-chan. She is really nice.

Voice of Riku: Hamaji-kun doesn't look all that happy though.

Voice of Kaito: And I don't think I've ever seen Minawa-chan that angry.

Voice of Riku: Did you notice how much they all seem to blush, especially Hamaji-kun.

Voice of Kaito: I think it's because of some of the things that Minawa-chan says. But Mahoro-san and Suguru-kun seem to blush a lot also.

Voice of Sera: That's because of what Suguru-kun asked Mahoro-san to do.

Voice of Miyuki: What did he ask her to do?

Voice of Sera: I can't say right now.

Voice of Miyuki: Why not?

Voice of Sera: Because it's not in the preview script.
