Yuki: Eh? Antonia!

Antonia: Yuki! What are you doing here?

Yuki: I'm going to Autumn's Square!

Antonia: Huh?! I'm going there too!

Yuki: On a vacation!

Both: We'll be on the same plane!

Yuki: I've never been on a plane with someone I've known before!

(Stomach growls)

(Both girls are seen running towards Hope)

Hope: Ant! Yuki!!

Antonia: Hey!!

Yuki: It's so good to finally be here!

Hope: Antonia, Yuki, I can't wait to spend your holiday with you guys!

Yuki: Neither can I!

Antonia: Hey where's your dad?

(Hope's bedroom)

Hope: Here we are! My humble abode!

Yuki and Antonia: (in awe) Wow!

(Various tapes are shown)

Yuki: It's like one big video store! But how did she afford all of those?

Hope: Pretty much on days off I go on my own adventures. Last summer I accidentally discovered a warehouse that sold books online, I quickly became friends with the owner and his associate Brian Christmas. He lets me take them all home as I help out there mostly.

Antonia: Is that your party collection?

Hope: Yep! It is! It's pretty much all of the Mary Kate and Ashleys I've found through the years, a lot of inspiration for my comic books.

(Pulls out one)

Hope: Costume Party is my favorite!

Hope: In it, there's an opening number about ice cream!

Yuki: Ice?

Antonia: Ice cream? Where? I could go for a marzipan right now!

Yuki: Some azuki bean sounds nice right about now...

Hope: In the 50s, at a soda shop.

Hope: Come on, let's go.

Hope: More questions at the end of the tour. Follow me!

(They rummage through Hope's old stuff and find...)

Hope: Kylie Minogue!

Yuki: Oh ! Her?

Hope: She was a legendary pop idol my mom adored when she was in college! Mom used to love playing this record of her all the time!

Yuki: Hm. Rakki Rabu, eh?

Hope: Rakki... Rabu? Doesn't that have Romanji in the title?

Yuki: It's a Japanese version of "I Should be So Lucky" it appeared at the same time the English version was out. My sister did a cover of that song when she was an idol for the NHK, our public broadcasting service..

Hope: Now that you mention it... I think I remember finding a thrift store copy of that...

Antonia: So when did this song appear?

Yuki: Oh, about, 1986.

Hope: 1986?!

Antonia: We weren't even born yet! Maybe our moms knew each other then too!

Yuki: Well, we could see what life and styles were like back then. (Using her Global Port) Showtime, Global Port!

(She uses it to transport themselves in to the year 1986. Sydney, Australia)

Hope: Wow! We're in the 80's!

Yuki: Oh! One more thing about the 80s! Global Port, change our appearances!

(Hope, Yuki and Antonia's clothes and hair are changed)

(Hope's hair is longer than it usually is, it's very frizzy and has bouncy curls.)

(Yuki's hair is a Seiko Matsuda hairstyle)

(Antonia wears a West German 80's hairstyle with a off the shoulder top and a cloth wrapped to her forehead.)

Hope: Wow! We really look great!!

Antonia: I'm really loving this west German look....

Hope: But Germany is Germany isn't it, Antonia?

Yuki: Yeah isn't it?

Anfonia: Not in the 80s, you see, after the second world war, Germany divided itself in to two countries, East Germany and West Germany. West Germany was controlled by the Soviets and East Germany was controlled by the Germans. In 1989, the very peak of the 1990s, the Berlin Wall fell, and both the West side and East side were united once again.

Hope: Wow I never knew about that.

Yuki: Of course, you're talking to junior Little Girl Blue. Have you been staying up again?

Hope: No. Maybe? Okay there's a guy I like...

Yuki: Spill.

Hope: Okay it's not like love like! Its just because... You see he's connected to my friend, and we've been bumping in to each other like a lot.... I mean I've felt this way for like a while now.....

(Hope dusts off a VHS)

Hope: I think I should start over from the beginning

(Pops tape in to the VCR next to her)

(Flashes back to recent times in an 80s style)

(Music for I should be so Lucky starts)

(Hope is in Winter Arbor, collecting all the comics she can and is walking from the store when she sees her friend)

Hope:

In my imagination There is no complication I dream about you all the time In my mind, a celebration The sweetest of sensation Thinking you could be mine

(Hope is now walking to a distance to try to see if he's suspicious or not)

In my imagination There is no hesitation We walk together hand in hand

I'm dreamin'

I saw you in love there

Like I was in love with you

But dreamin's all I do

If only they'd come true.
