Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san, episode 3
(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, Comet is off to a less smooth start. She oversleeps and forgets to get the twins to the school bus on time. Then they have to take a train, something she's not quite familiar with (Earth-wise, anyway). After a scolding from their teacher, Comet leaves to report in to the mother's seaside shop, which is nearby. Then she and Rababou spot the father on a boat, and decide to join in on the fishing. This is a life-changing event, as she also meets a boy with an attitude named Keisuke - he doesn't like Comet and tells her so, which annoys her. They even share an awkward moment when Comet loses her balance and falls on top of him, earning blushes on both sides. Life on Earth could potentially become more difficult, especially now that Meteo knows about him and assumes that he's the prince, seeing as he was around Comet when she found the pink-haired princess. But is Keisuke really as bad as his first impression implied? Is he the prince?
Also, Comet learns her lesson and decides to create a star tunnel - this means she leaves a special mark at a place she has visited, and can later make it to that place in record time without needing a car, train, whathaveyou.
