The last quarter starting tomorrow.
Meiko. It’s almost the end of our second year.
I think we need to make more fun memories.

SKI TRIP
I WON’T LET YOU TWO BE ALONE!

The winter break sure seems like it went by quickly
But the temple visit was the worst.
It seemed like no one wanted to be around me .
But what I can’t understand is why Yuu sees Miki.
Ah, it’s so frustrating.
I should try and do something about it.
Are you planning a trip this holiday weekend ?
Yeah. I haven’t figured it out where I want to go, but I want to see a couple more historic buildings.
There’re so many good ones, it’s hard to decide.
Yeah?
I wish I could say, “take me with you !”
For the Kyushu trip, I blurted it out without thinking.
When I think about it, I’m too embarrassed to ask.
Now try to translate the first line under there.
This is boring, I really don't feel like studying today.
Hey, I know, why don't we play a game?
No games, you have studying to do.
I’ve studied enough , I wanna play.
Oh, come on, just for a little while.
We’ll study later.
You’re taking the vacation ?
Who are you gonna go with?
Going by myself .
Really? Miki’s not going?
A kid like you really doesn’t need to worry so much.
I know I’m right, he’s going with Miki.
I have to do something.
Review what we did, okay?
Yes, I sure will.
So long.
Bye-bye.
Hello. Satoshi.
Hi, this is Yuu.
Oh, Satoshi.
Hey, I hear you’re making plans for a ski trip.
Well I know there was a good reserve with some great rooms we can stay in.
Meiko’s going too, right?
Huh? Who said anything about ski?
I’ve got another call on the other line, can you hang on a second ?
This is Yuu.
Hello.
Is Miki there? Or never mind, I can talk to you instead .
Hey, I wanna go on the ski trip, and I can ask Arimi to come along too, right , Yuu?
Just the thought of skiing with Arimi makes me
Oh, man, this is gonna be great.
Should I come out and ask him to take me?
Or is that being too forward?
Yuu?
Hey. Miki.
So I guess you’ll be wanting to come along in the trip, too, huh?
You mean it? Of course, where are we going? To Kyoto? Or Nara?
We’re going skiing, with everyone .
Wanna try some crackers?
They’re good.
No, thanks.
Hey, who invited you to come with us anyway?
What’s the matter to you? We’re cousins, aren’t we?
That’s irrelevant .
Would you stop it, so enjoy…
You know I can already tell that’s gonna be a nice relaxing trip.
Yeah.
I bet you’d actually prefer to have more of a nice and relaxing trip alone with Yuu right?
Not really.
I am a little disappointed.
But going skiing with everyone will be lots of fun, anyway.
We made it.
How fun.
Hey, look out, give me some room I’m gonna conquer that snow.
Oh, yeah.
The day is finally come, this mount will soon be mine.
He wouldn’t
He will.
Ginta.
Yuu.
Ski contest. Now.
You ready? Whoever makes it down the fastest, is the king of the mount.
These are the top slopes, little boys , don't be scared, I will show you how to do this.
have a good luck
I hate you guys, why’d you get down for me, I’m gonna get you for this.
Oh, man, what was I thinking.
Wow, you’re not bad, Meiko.
Thanks .
Yahoo.
I made it down without falling
You’re better than I thought.
I guess I’m an athlete after all, no matter what you think.
Okay, then, let’s see how well you can keep up with me.
Yuu, wait for me.
Look out.
Get out of my way.
Hey, Miki, are you okay?
Yeah.
Hey.
Miki. Yuu.
Yuu , why don't we go up there , too.
Sure.
Wow, I can't stop.
I’m sorry, but I only know how to go straight.
No one has ever told me how to stop or turn or anything.
Hey, I think I better get Suzu a couple of ski lessons.
See you later.
Why, Yuu.
Check this out.
No, check this out.
Good, now in for a little more.
Like this?
Well, I guess everyone needs a little help at first.
I can’t believe Yuu and Ginta chickened out my challenge .
Because you guys, I had a terrible time all by myself .
It’s your own fault, you came up with that stupid contest.
Huh? You guys both make me so angry.
Go on that ski trip with your girlfriends.
So what happened to that girl from the temple that you set heart on?
She never gave him her address or phone number.
Enough about it.
Two.
Three.
Now I think you’re bluffing, Miki
Too bad.
Here you go.
Four
Five.
It’s a draw.
What? I’m last again?
That’s the game.
Wait a minute , we can’t quit yet, let me win just once.
I feel like having some coffee
Yeah, I’ll have some too.
Do you wanna play Othello?
Yeah, sure.
Why don't we go get some fresh air?
Um-hum.
Can I come too?
It’s bed time for you young lady.
Darn
Hey, how would you like to play a love game?
I’m going to bed.
Why me, why am I always left alone.
What do you think about taking a gondola tomorrow
The slopes are little more difficult , but I think it will be a lot fun for us.
Sure.
Ah, have some mercy Arimi.
Too late.
And here.
Not there.
You're such a kid.
Okay.
But that’s one thing I love about you.
You know, it looks like the whether’s starting to get worse.
And we’re going to have to head back tonight too.
Don't worry, I’m sure it’ll clear up by then.
Oh, no, I think I forgot my wallet inside the restaurant,
Nice move, you’d better go and look for it.
Right, maybe you guys should go ahead without me.
Maybe I forgot it in here.
Thank goodness .
Suzu.
Yuu said he’d be taking the gondola up there.
Yeah?
Thanks a lot, Suzu.
Bye-bye.
Yuu.
Where’s Miki?
I have no idea.
Hey, can I ski with you for a while?
Sorry, I don't feel like babysitting right now.
Yuu, I’m not a child anymore ,
What’s your problem
Wow, this is going pretty high up into the mountains
I wonder if I’ll be able to ski back down okay.
Well, if I need help, Yuu would be there.
Where’s Yuu?
He was supposed to be here waiting for me.
Maybe he skied down already.
It’s really starting to come down hard.
Yeah, we probably should call it a day.
Hey.
Have you seen Miki?
No.
Anyone seen her since she went back to the restaurant?
Okay, I’m gonna go look for her.
I think we all better look too.
Right.
I don't know why everybody’s making such a big deal about it, She’s gonna come back down.
The storm is getting a lot worse, and I can’t find Yuu.
I’m really starting to get worried.
Seen anything?
We looked everywhere
Where is she?
The storm could become a blizzard
Maybe we should call the ski patrol?
I should’ve told you sooner, I’m pretty sure I know where you can find Miki.
What?
Tell me, where is she?
She went up the mountain on the gondola
What?
Those slopes are only for the experts.
These are the most difficult ones on the mountain
Miki can’t ski on those, can she?
But I’m sorry, I didn’t know.
I just thought I could enjoy myself a little more if Miki wasn’t around for a little while.
How could you.
I’m going up.
You girls wait here.
The gondola’s closed due to the high winds.
How are we gonna get up there?
Yuu, wait.
Satoshi.
We can take this out to go find Miki.
Come on, hurry up.
Um-hum.
Miki, you’ve gotta stay strong.
I’m getting really cold.
I don't think I’ll be able to walk much further
Miki.
Yuu.
Miki.
Yuu?
Yuu.
Yuu.
Miki.
Miki.
Yuu.
Miki.
Yuu.
I was so scared, Yuu.
I was pretty worried about you.
Miki.
Miki.
I’m so glad he found you.
Me too.
It wasn’t a big deal, you guys, it just took a while for me to get down cause I’m a horrible skier
I’m so sorry, Miki.
None of this would’ve happened, if I hadn’t lied to you this morning.
I think she just let her jealousy get the best of her
Would you please forgive her?
No, it’s fine, you really don't have to worry.
Anyway, on the way down the hill, I cleared an unbelievably steep slope, so thanks to Suzu, my skiing’s reached a whole new level.
Miki.
But now that I’m all relaxed, I’m really hungry.
My belly needs some food.
Silly.
I don't like it, but I suppose those two are a good match after all,

What? Everyone’s thinking about the future already ?
I had no idea.
Everyone has their own clear goals.
I’m jealous
Okay. I’m gonna start thinking about what I want to do, and what kind of career to pursue.
