Hai!

I sensed you on a secret frequency

and was captivated by your radiance

And seeing you with my million-bit vision

The circuits of my heart

Ah, they're going wild!

The forces of love move me as they will

So I've embraced the mystery

If it's for the sake of the one you love

Why, there's nothing you couldn't do!

Oh, the heartful, heartful mechanic

the slightest movements of a pure heart

The heartful, heartful mechanic

makes true your dream-colored heartbeats

Step Jun, Step Jun, Step Jun!

Your hot desire! Come on, come on, input!

The Present of Your Dreams

Huh...?

Oh?

I hear someone...

Someone's calling my name!

I have come to pick you up

The truth is, you are my princess

What...?! You're saying I'm a princess?

Yes, indeed you are

Now then

Ah, Zero!

Jun.

So, how about this?

And a bit of this...

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

You were messing around with the computer, weren't you?!

Sure wasn't!

He messed with the keyboard instead, pico.

...Thanks.

You buffoon!

Now listen here!

There's a program in there that was adjusting my dreams!

And do you want to know what your busy hands did?

My beautiful story of a maiden's pure love...

...turned into a horror thriller instead!!!

I'm scared, pico!

Don't you dare scare my lil' sister!

Oh, enough...

Jun! You're going to be late for school!

Okay!

So, uh... what's a "dream"?

Dream, huh... I dunno?

Pico?

- Huh? A Dream Pillow? - Huh? A Dream Pillow?

Yep!

The pillow will give you any dream you choose.

Is that true?

You gotta be lying.

Believe it or don't believe it, it doesn't matter to me.

All I care about is shoving this device into a cute pillow...

...and filling all my nights with dreams of Zero!

Ah, he's here.

I am on the market, ladies

- See you! - Bye bye!

- Later! - See you again!

So to shrink this down, I'll need to drop the current a touch...

After all, making it as light as possible is the goal.

To do that, I'll --

Yo! There's somethin' cool on the TVs over there!

Let's check it out, big bro!

Enough already! We don't have any!

C'mon, hand over a dream already!

Hurry up, we want one!

...Kichinosuke and Yukinojo!

Give this nonsense a rest!

...Pico!

You made my darling lil' sister cry!

No forgiveness!

Eat this!!!

- Aaaagh... - You like that, punk?

What are you doing, you stupid toy?

Now you're really making me mad!

No forgiveness!

Stop it! Stop this at once!

D-Don't try to stop me...

Kichinosuke!!

Agh!

No forgiveness!!!

I give in! Just stop this already, please!

Stop this immediately, Kichinosuke!

No way! No forgiveness!!!

Oh for pete's sake...

Powering down.

Sorry about that...

Don't feel bad, it's not your fault!

Jun, it's not your fault!

Of course it's not my fault! It was you two chuckleheads!

But both of us really want a dream!

We sure do, pico!

You have to make your own dreams!

All by yourself!

Now quit belly-aching and go home already!

- Make our own. - Pico.

All by ourselves?

Jun, hurry up and get in the tub!

All right!

All right, then...

Well, it ended up bigger than I wanted, but the Dream Pillow is finally done.

Ooh, I wonder what dream program I should run tonight!

So this thing's a dream, huh...

Ooh! A dream feels fluffy and nice.

You have to make your own dreams!

Whoa!

Ah! Am I too late?

But why... why did you have to die before I could say my true feelings?!

Your true feelings?

That I love you from the bottom of my heart...

So wait, he loves me? Not Yoko?

Oh my, you still live!

You brought me back to life, with your darling words...

- Jun... - Zero...!

Zero!!! Zero, Zero!

Where did you go, Zero?!

Zerooooo! Zerooooo!!!

Zero! Zero, Zero...

Huh, that's weird...

Ah, Zero!

Where on earth did you go? I was looking for you!

And let's try it again...

Zero!!!

Zero, where did you go? Zero!

- Zero!!! - And again.

Oh, there you are! Enough with the disappearing act!

I figured it out!

Agh! You disappeared again!!!

I'm gonna make a Dream Pillow just like Jun's!

Hey Big Bro!

Put this inside your dream, please!

This is my number one treasure, pico!

Huh. What the heck is this thing?

I found it lying on the ground!

Everyone, step right up!

Come pick up some carnations, perfect for Mother's Day!

Yours for a low, low price!

How about you, little lady?

- I'll take this red one, please! - You got it!

Thanks a bunch.

Thank you!

Welcome, what suits your fancy?

Huh?!

Where could that keychain have gone?

Yeah...

Good afternoon!

Hey, Zero...

Isn't this a beautiful carnation? I just picked it up!

Here, you can have it!

The hell you givin' me that for?

Zero!!!

I can't believe the nerve you have!

B-But... isn't today's Mother Day?

Don't you remember? Zero doesn't have a mother anymore!

N-No...

Ah, hello Jun! Welcome home!

Oh? Jun!

What's wrong, Jun? Open the door!

Just leave me alone!

Did something happen?

Here. Happy Mother's Day.

Jun!

Jun, open up the door and explain yourself this instant!

I told you to leave me alone, didn't I?

A dream! Makin' a dream!

Pico, pico...

Big Bro, it won't open!

Huh, let me give it a try.

Look at that! It was wide open.

Pico.

Huh?

Ah! Jun's off making another dream.

Zero... I'm so sorry!

All of this is my fault...

It's all my fault you ended up like this!

If only I had never done that...

I'm so sorry, Zero...

Please, forgive me, I'm begging you!

Zero...

Zero!!!

Wonder what sort of dream's going on this time.

Pico?

Forgive me, Zero...

- Big Bro... - What's up?

Let's give these to Jun!

Really? All of those are your favorite treasures!

It's all right!

It's fine, 'cause Jun's like our Mommy!

Pico.

- Hello! - Hello!

Ah, welcome!

Hope you don't mind, we promised to work on homework together.

I'm afraid to tell you that Jun's still in bed!

Ever since noon, actually...

- Huh?! A nap? - Huh?! A nap?

Anyways, you girls come in for now. I'll go wake her up.

- Uh, okay! - Uh, okay!

Here, enjoy...

I'm just so utterly foolish!!!

Only ever thinking about myself...

How--How could I ever forget that Zero had lost his mother?

Look Jun, so you spilled some milk -- how long you gonna keep crying over it?

You saying that does nothing to help...!!!

I know you feel horrible,

but it's not like you can bring back the dead, right?

Yep, that's right! Maybe if it was like a dream or something...

- Ah! - What's wrong?

That's it! That's 100 percent it!

Dreams I can handle!

I can absolutely show Zero a dream about his mother.

It's the least I can do to atone for my sins!

- Thanks for tea, I guess...? - Thanks for tea, I guess...?

All right, let's get to work!

Huh?

What's this thing?

I made myself a dream, just like yours!

Oh?

A dream, just like mine...?

All I need to do is attach this plug, and they'll be exactly the same.

What?!

The same, right?

Look, it's not that big of a deal...

But the "dream" I built is nowhere near as shoddy as this!

Now I have important business to attend to, so leave me alone!

Fine, got it.

Meanie.

Sheesh...

Now then...

All I need to do is input the program onto this card!

So, Zero's mother, huh...

Yeah, the girl in the picture.

In love with Zero's sailor father...

Yes...

A woman whose heart was as wide as the seas...

Mommy!!!

Mommy!

Mommy...

Oh, I'm zoning out...

Still no luck, huh...

Yep...

Damn it...

Where the hell could she have dropped it?

Ooh, I'm getting nervous...

But here goes!

Still...

What if Zero is actually still furious with me?

Pico! Found one!

Ah, Yukinojo!

What'd you find, huh?

And Kichinosuke, too!

What are you two doing out so late?

We're hunting for treasures!

Oh really, this is just a beer bottle cap, isn't it?

Oh, I know!

Do these tickle your fancy?

Here!

Pico!!! Pretty.

These are my treasures, too!

Sure, but before that...

I'd like you to deliver this to Zero, first.

You can do that on your own.

Oh really!

But Yukinojo's happy to help, isn't she?

Look at my pretty treasures, pico...

Okay, then!

Eh, cute girls are my weakness.

Okay, you two? Don't forget now!

Make sure you tell him it's a present from me!

Yeah, we'll make sure to talk you up.

Make sure you do it, okay?

Got it! Aw geez...

Huh...

- Hey, Big Bro! - What's up?

I think I like this dream way better than yours!

Hey, that's Jun's, right?

I wanna keep it!

What about mine, then? Chopped liver?

So gross! I hate it.

C'mon, don't judge things solely on appearance!

What counts is the inside.

I wanna keep this one.

Now you're acting like a true girl...

Geez, what do I do?

Ah!

S-So how did it go? Was Zero home?

Nope, he was gone. I gave it to his Grandma!

And? What did she say?

"What the heck is this thing?!"

Huh?

"Oh, look at how wonderful this is!"

"Zero's never had something like this before!"

Really?!

Oh, yay!

Thank you so much, Kichinosuke and Yukinojo!

Well, shall we go home?

Phew.

Wait, did the old lady say it was wonderful?

- Look, just never mind, okay? - You told a lie, pico!

I hope he can have a dream about his amazing mother tonight...

But I have to say, going without the Dream Pillow myself will make this a lonely night.

I'm home.

Ah... Zero...

Did you find it?

Nope, gone for good.

Yoko busted her butt helpin' me look, too.

Still couldn't find it... huh?

I'm so sorry...

I feel terrible I lost something so valuable to you.

Aw heck, don't worry about it!

You don't gotta make that kind of face.

I got all the memories of Mom I need right here in my heart!

- Zero! - What?

There's a present from Jun-chan waiting for you on your bed.

Present...?

Yes, something about a pillow that will give you wonderful dreams.

Got it! I'll check it out.

- Night! - Good night, Zero.

Mom... sorry.

That keychain you got from Dad...

It's gone for good.

Damn it! What the hell, Grams...

Runnin' off with my keychain like that.

One-of-a-kind memento and everythin'...

Oh?

Huh?!

What...?

Ah!!!

Wh-What on earth are you two doing!!!

Wow, that girl sure is pretty...

I love this mom...

The hell? What's this dirty hunk of junk?

I tell ya, every single person around me does the dumbest possible crap...

The heck?

It's sproutin' legs?!

The hell's she doin' to me?! Ah!!!

Ah, what? Where the heck you goin'?

Tricked ya, ya hunk of junk!

Mommy...?

Mom...

So? What ended up happening with the Dream Pillow?

It's all gone to heck-in-a-handbasket...

Oh no, another blunder, Jun?

Kichinosuke ended up handing over his fake one to Zero instead.

So what the heck ended up happening, then?

It's not like I have the slightest clue about the result, either!

It's just, having him think I made something as grotesque as that...

That would make him hate me even more.

Wouldn't say that myself...

Well that's naive of you.

Huh...?

Thanks a bunch for yesterday.

Thanks to you, I got to see a wonderful dream.

Gotta say though, maybe you oughta keep your presents to lunches from now on?

Okay...

See ya.

Still...

Zero saw a wonderful dream? Whatever could it have been?

It can't be... could he have been dreaming about me?!

Yay!

We're at the amusement park

On a date, eating ice cream

My crocodile tears are shining

in the illumination of the shuttle loop

But because of his warm kindness

I flash my practiced smile

But it's all a dream, isn't it?

Next week is a field trip!

And I'm going to be in the same group as Zero!

But oh no, I heard something horrible!

Hanyu and his gang will be riding through that area at the same time!

I tried to keep it secret from Zero...

But that Kichinosuke has such a big mouth...

Looks like I'm just going to have to do something about it!

Hai! Step Jun!
