“Then, let's go to the next city!”
Yeah...!
I've got this line down!
And the next part's the final scene.
Let's see...
“And they made shows together forever after”...
They made shows together... Forever after...
Okay, it seems we're all on the same page!
Wonderlands×Showtime shall continue operations!
(I remember feeling so happy that time...)
(My heart was full of joy and excitement about how we were going to put on lots and lots of shows together...)
(And we really did put on a lot...)
(Our shows were so amazingly spectacular that I had a ton of fun just practicing them.)
(And I wished that things would never change.)
(No...)
(I've made my decision.)
(If I don't stay strong, the others are gonna start to worry.)
(I have to keep smiling.)
Emu, do you have a minute?
Oh, Sis...!
Yeah, come in!
I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly.
I wanted to have some hot chocolate and ended up making a little too much. Would you like some as well, Emu?
Oh... Yeah!
Wait, but I just brushed my teeth!
Will it be okay if I brush them again after?!
Hehe. Yes, I'd say that's fine.
Then, I'll have some!
Bottoms up!
Hehe... It's so warm and sweet...
My chest is feeling all fuzzy wuzzy...
...
Is something wrong, Emu...?
What?
You looked a little unhappy there for a second.
H-Huh? I did?
No, I'm...
...
You're right...
I don't feel completely happy.
Can we talk for a bit, Sis?
Yes, I'm here to listen.
I see... And they'll be freelancing from here on out...
Yeah...
Are you sure about your decision, Emu...?
Don't you want to go with them?
I'm sure...
Because I'm never going to forget what we did.
Seeing all those shows with Grandpa...
Grr...
Grandpa, I can't see. It's too dark...
Heh heh heh. Just another second, dear.
Ah, excellent...!
I'll remove your blindfold in...!
Three, two, one...
Wah! It's so bright!
Huh...?
Grandpa? Where are we?
Hehe. This is nowhere in particular, but it can also be anywhere you like!
Nowhere, but anywhere...?
Yes, that's right!
Ah, however... Today, it seems that it's going to be a magical forest. Take a look at the stage.
Welcome to the Wonder Stage, everyone!
The Wonder Stage...?
Today's showing of “Teddy In The Magical Forest” will begin in ten minutes!
Oh wow...!
Lots of people just came in!
Ah, I should probably lower my head a bit to make sure the little ones can see.
Now, Emu, take another look at the stage.
What you're about to experience is going to feel like a wonderful dream!
Wow...!!!
“*Sigh*
Why does everyone disappear whenever I try to go play in the forest? Are they afraid of how I look?”
“I know I seem scary, but I still want to become friends with them...”
“Oh where, oh where could all the forest critters have gone?”
Over there!
There!
Yes, they're over there!
Listen to my granddaughter!
“I'm too afraid!
Us rabbits can't walk around the forest knowing that such a big, scary bear is lurking!”
No, don't be afraid!
He's a nice bear!
“Hey, what if that bear isn't as scary as we thought? He looks a little mean, but he could be nice.”
He is!
He wants to be friends with all of you!
“Look...!
The bear's keeping that tree from falling! He prevented our homes from being crushed!”
“We gotta help him!
Let's go, everyone!”
...!!!
Grandpa, Mr. Bear's about to make some new friends!
*Sob*
I'm so happy for him...!
Huh...?
Grandpa, are you crying? Why?
How can I not cry?!
I'm just so happy that our bear finally has friends to play with!
Still, this is supposed to be a happy ending... As such, I should be smiling.
“Let's all finish by singing together!”
Yeah!!!
Hehe...♪
I didn't know shows were so much fun, Grandpa!
They really are, aren't they?!
This stage has the power to take you to a different world for every show.
You could be in the jungle, on top of the clouds, in prehistoric times or even in outer space...
It's a wonderland that can take you anywhere at all.
A wonderland...?
If you ever want to smile, Emu, you should visit this stage. I guarantee that it'll take you somewhere fantastic.
And once what you've seen here has made you smile, you should take a look at the world around you...
Unfortunately, unlike what you see on stage, it's not all full of smiles and happiness.
But I'm sure what you witness will become the fuel that drives you.
Okay!!!
Grandpa was right...
The Wonder Stage made me smile so many times after that.
And seeing everyone else smile there makes me really happy too...
So, I want to protect them both.
The Wonder Stage and Phoenix Wonderland that Grandpa left to us.
Emu...
It's really sad that I won't be able to do shows with the others like I used to... But I'm okay with that.
I think we'll be able to smile while we say goodbye to each other.
Even though they won't be members of the Wonder Stage cast anymore.
Even though we won't be doing shows together as much...
Emu...
Oh, I should go brush my teeth...!
And I still need to do my best during practice tomorrow, so...! Night, Sis!
...
How's Emu doing...?
She said she's fine...while crying...
She tried her best to compose herself, but she probably still is in her bed right now...
I see...
Do you have any ideas in mind...?
I know it's not right for us to intervene since this is between her and her troupe. But...
I want to see them smiling...
Me too...
Then, we'll...
