(コメットさん) 2001
12-year-old Princess Comet has no interest in her royal duties. She'd much rather play with little stars in the Haromonica Star-World system than fulfill anyone's expectations. On the evening of a ball meant to introduce Comet to the prince of Tamborine Star-World, he runs away, and the only way to know him is from the "twinkle" in his eyes. Now it's been decided that Comet will go to Earth to find him and set things right - but can she make the time between having so many fun adventures?
In this episode, Meteo, the princess from the Castanet Star-World, has found out about Comet leaving to locate the prince (and supposedly win his heart). Furious that she will be beaten in this quest for marriage, Meteo immediately heads out to Earth. Comet has been taken in by the young twin's family (Nene and Tsuyoshi, as they are called), as a sort of "home stay," since she's certainly not from around there. In the course of 24 hours since then, Comet has also created a comfy room for herself in the house with star power, and treats the kids to an afternoon of sight-seeing (if by that you mean sailing through the skies on a tree), as a thanks for helping her. Only they, however, along with a weird little guy named Pani, know and believe in her witch magic.
When Meteo finds her in this simple, domestic situation, it's amusing. How is living in a home like that, doing things like laundry, fit for royalty? Meteo's angle is to let Comet do most of the work (she used a rather lazy approach to find even Comet) - she also uses star power of her own to brainwash a rich old couple into thinking she's their daughter. With that, now Meteo will be living in a mansion while the prince hunt continues. How will life on Earth differ for each of the girls? Who will "win"?
This show doesn't seem to be "monster of the week" fare - it's more like "twinkle" of the week. No villian out to conquer the universe, either. In this way, it's sorta like Hime-chan no Ribbon. Both Comet and Himeko use their given powers to better the lives of those around them.
