Cosmic Baton Girl Comet-san, episode 4
(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 joins the twins on her first trip to the zoo. Just before the entrance, Comet and Rababou get into a fight about finding the prince (Comet reveals she doesn't care at all for the prince, she came to Earth to play and have fun!), which upsets her little friend. He decides to go off on his own to find the royal boy, and Comet agrees that they're both perfectly capable of doing things without the other around. Well, Rababou runs into trouble when a monkey mistakes him for her baby, and Comet leaves him behind. However, later she feels guilty and tries to check on him. When she only gets a cry for help "on the other end" (she made a star mark before they left the zoo) she decides to rush in for a rescue. We also learn that Tsuyoshi is popular among the girls, and the mom of Pani-kun (the weird little kid that thinks everything is mysterious) wonders why Comet is there when she should be in school. And she's never seen a zoo animal, either! How strange.
