Dressed in pants and shirt (cuffs rolled up her calves and upper arms), black tie, hat and running shoes, she gives us a smile and a wink.] MAIN TITLE (at top) Lipstick of the Night SUB-TITLE (at bottom) Delivering to You My Throbbing Heart! --------------------------------------------------- p 314 (48) 1 [Hikaru clings to Kyousuke's arm as the two walk down the street. Dressed in a sleeveless blouse and knee-length skirt, she beams up at him.] narration: Today, for the first time in quite a while, I have a date with Sempai. 2 [Closer view of Hikaru.] narration: Eh heh heh... If I do say so myself, today, I... ...think I'm a fairly good-looking woman! 3 [Kyousuke looks back to find Hikaru stopped at a window, looking at her own reflection. She touches a finger to her lips.] narration: After all, this lipstick! 4 [Isolated shot of a store sign, "Invisible Touch."] narration: It was pretty expensive... But I've wanted it for a while and by saving my allowance I finally bought it. 5 [Inside, the two sit at a table with their drinks. Hikaru places her elbows on the table, resting her face in her hands, and she beams across the table at him. He looks back blankly in the middle of drinking through his straw.] narration: What do you think?! Now, I'm beautifully transformed! Maybe Sempai will notice. Hikaru FX: Kyousuke: ? --------------------------------------------------- p 315 (49) 1 [Closeup of Hikaru. She idly toys with the straw in her drink while looking at him.] Hikaru: Say, Sempai... What do you think of this color? 2 [She drops her gaze and lifts her glass.] Hikaru: Maybe... It's a little too flashy. 3 [Kyousuke looks down at his own drink while sucking on his straw.] Kyousuke FX: 4 [He drops his gaze, but looks stern.] Kyousuke: I don't like it too much... [Hikaru's eyes pop wide.] Hikaru: Huh?! 5 [Kyousuke continues to glare into his glass, not noticing the angry response he's getting in Hikaru.] Kyousuke: This much red is offensive. Hikaru FX: 6 [He looks blankly down at his drink.] Kyousuke: (This juice... It has too much artificial coloring.) 7 [With a glare, Hikaru rises to her feet, both palms slapped to the table before her. Kyousuke finally looks at her.] Hikaru stand-up FX: Kyousuke: ? --------------------------------------------------- p 316 (50) 1 [Blushing, her face turns sad. Tears start to well in her eyes.] Hikaru: D-does it look that ba-a-ad?! Hikaru tears FX: 2 [His eyes grow wide.] Kyousuke: Huh? 3 [He gapes as she races out of the coffee shop.] Hikaru: Fine!

Kyousuke FX: narration: Did I say something to offend her? 5 [Exterior shot of a school building.] Hikaru: [off] Say... 6 [Inside the classroom, Hikaru sits at her desk, resting one cheek in hand and looking depressed. Kurumi stands a few paces behind her.] Hikaru: .......... Maybe I'm just a child, after all. 7 [Kurumi lectures her.] Kurumi: How stupid... Don't tell me something that's obvious. Hikaru-chan a mom?! No, you aren't. So of course you're a child. [Hikaru does a spread-eagled pratfall.] Hikaru pratfall FX: --------------------------------------------------- p 317 (51) 1 Hikaru: (Anyhow, that Sempai thinks I'm just a kid who doesn't look good with lipstick...) 2 [Hikaru stretches her arms and grimaces at the ceiling. Kurumi watches.] Hikaru: Ahh, if I could only change...! Kurumi: What? You want to change? 3 Kurumi: [smiling] I like doing stuff like that! Where you use a magic wand or something and recite spells, right? 4 [Hikaru sternly wags her forefinger at Kurumi.] Hikaru: No, no. Into a sexy lady who mysteriously seduces men... 5 [Kurumi reaches over with her forefinger and touches Hikaru on her forehead.] Kurumi fingertip FX: Kurumi: Ohhhh. All right. Leave it to me, leave it to me. I'll give you that much in a flash! 6 [Hikaru stares blankly at Kurumi's hand.] Hikaru: Hm? 7 Hikaru: What...? Kurumi: [studying her own fingertip] HUH? (How strange. I guess hypnosis doesn't work on Hikaru-chan.) --------------------------------------------------- p 318 (52) 1 [Exterior night shot of the Hiyama residence.] narration: That night... 2 [Hikaru lies asleep on top of her bedcovers, dressed in a slip.] 3 [Still asleep, she dreams of the previous day's panels.] Kyousuke: [flashback] I don't like it very much...
