A very important friend.
Mr. Porte...
Couldn't sleep?
It's only natural for young people to have a few sleepless nights.
But you're not young anymore...
What did you say?
I'm sorry!
It's okay, it's okay. I really am an old man, after all.
I'll help you with that.
You're a much stronger girl than you realize.
I'm not strong...
You just don't know you are.
Mr. Porte...
The name of that transport ship, "Orion"...
I really liked it.
It's taken from an old Earth myth.
Oh, I know that one!
You know it?
Orion, who was stung by a scorpius and died...
...was placed in the sky by the gods at the request of his lover, Artemis.
That's right.
Even though they're far apart, Orion still watches over his beloved Artemis.
I didn't think you were that romantic a person, Mr. Porte.
Men are all romantics!
Mr. Porte! Sharla!
Good morning!
Good morning, everyone.
You could have woken us up.
At this rate, we'll be done by the end of the day.
Really?
Okay, in that case let's start loading the luggage.
This tank has our water, so don't drop it.
My arms...
This is the last of it.
Pague, thank you!
We have about two weeks' worth of food?
Yes, because according to Chako's data we should reach the mainland in about ten days.
With this much, we'll have some to spare.
Oh, its done?
It's great!
I'm definitely on top!
As you please.
Maybe Howard should be on the bottom.
Since Howard has bad sleeping posture.
What did you say?
Honestly, what a rude lot!
It's okay here.
What is it?
Contrary to your appearance, you're quite exceptional.
Are you praisin' me or insultin' me?
What's up with gramps?
What a weird guy.
Bell!
Should I help?
No, I'm fine on my own.
Oh, really.
I don't know how many times your strength and kindness have saved everyone.
Keep up the good work!
Hey, Kaoru.
What are those?
Fishing rods, just in case.
That's a good idea.
Thanks.
You're cool, stylish, and handsome.
Just like me in my younger days.
From now on, you'll become an even better man!
I guarantee it!
Hey!
Why are you slacking off?
You're wrong! I was about to get to work!
At first I thought you were a helpless spoiled whiner...
...but I can't stay mad at you.
When you're around, I smile, and when I smile, I cheer up.
Just don't overdo it. Keep it in moderation.
What?
Nice work.
We'll be finished loading in just a little while.
Really.
I hope you can meet your mother and father.
Thanks! I'll go feed Pague.
Mr. Porte, are your injuries okay yet?
I'm good as new.
But please rest a little.
You're wise and courageous.
Everyone relies on you.
But...
Nobody will begrudge you if you loosen up once in a while.
We're finally going to leave this island soon.
As expected, you're nervous as well?
Mr. Porte!
You don't have to bear it alone.
You have friends.
Yes.
In their entire life, not everyone has what you'd call true friendship.
And yet, you've all found it in your youth.
Yes.
Just that is reason enough to have been born.
You're our friend too, Mr. Porte.
I am?
Yes.
A very important friend.
Thank you.
I believe you'll make it back to your colony safely.
No, you'll definitely make it!
Just a lil' more!
Put your hips into it!
We did it!
A fine piece of work.
Sharla, give it a name!
Me?
Sharla, please.
Let me think about it.
Don't be stuck up about it!
But it's because I want to give it a wonderful name.
What's the problem? We'll just hafta look forward to it.
We're here.
Of course we'd want to spend our last night here at Everyone's House.
Exactly.
It's time to say farewell to this island.
Now that the time has come, it's somehow lonely.
If you want, you can stay behind on your own.
No way!
But so many things have happened.
So many things happened, but now they're just good memories.
Thanks to Howard, we were sure not to be bored.
What did you say?
Honestly, you lot never quiet down!
Shut up!
I almost can't believe it.
How we did all of this just by ourselves.
We even built this house together.
We've all done well.
Not yet!
Honestly!
Mr. Porte?
Hey.
What's wrong? Can't sleep?
For some reason I'm wide awake.
We'll be at sea starting tomorrow.
You should sleep a little.
Well, will you come over here for a minute and sit down?
Okay.
Is everyone asleep?
It's because they all worked so hard. They must be exhausted.
At sea starting tomorrow, huh...
It's thanks to you that we can leave this island, Mr. Porte.
No, that was your hard work.
I couldn't have done it if you weren't here.
I'm really glad to have met you.
I'm happy to have met all of you as well.
And we'll be counting on you from now on as well.
I wish I could have talked to my son like this...
This is...
You're now a proper mechanic.
Although it'll take a lot more training before you're as good as me.
Thank you, Mr. Porte.
I'm tired.
Maybe I'll try to get some rest.
Right here? You'll catch a cold!
You try it too, Shingo.
The night wind feels great.
When you close your eyes, it feels like you're drifting slowly through space.
It's true. It feels great.
You're all the best.
The best of friends.
Some day when I become a mechanic, I'd like to travel on the same ship as you, Mr. Porte.
I'd like to see Titan or Upsilon.
I'll do my best to become a first-class mechanic.
And then we can travel all over space together.
Mr. Porte?
Oh, he's asleep.
Good night.
Looks like it was space sickness.
Why didn't he tell us?
Because he didn't want to worry us.
Until the very end, he was worried about us.
That's right.
Rest... in peace.
Hey, can we not see Mr. Porte again?
Adam...
Mr. Porte is...
We'll see him.
Mr. Porte has become a star.
So he'll always be watching over us.
Sharla...
Isn't that right, Mr. Porte?
Just like Orion watching over Artemis.
That's right. If we don't keep our heads, we'll get bogged down again.
I think the name for this ship should be The Orion, like the transport ship Mr. Porte was on.
Mr. Porte liked it a lot.
The Orion...
I agree. It's great.
It's about time we departed.
Shingo, let's go.
Mr. Porte...
Off we go.
Please watch over us.
Shingo!
Mr. Porte, I'll definitely become a proper mechanic!
And some day I'll tell your son...
...that you were the best mechanic in the universe!
Thank you...
...for everything.
Shingo...
Huh? Where's Adam?
Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for a while.
He's saying his farewells.
Farewells?
I'm going on a trip.
I'm with friends, so I'll be fine.
Don't worry.
Goodbye.
This is great! I'm getting excited!
Howard's going to pilot it?
Yeah, the first part is critical!
Shouldn't Shingo be first?
He knows the most about the system, after all.
It's fine! Leave it to me!
Everyone's life rests on this.
Think it over.
I've no choice!
I'll just have to hand this over to Shingo.
Keep your wits about you.
All ready over here.
Alright, here we go.
Everyone hold on tight.
Solar system on!
Energy output: 20%.
30... 40...
Gravity control unit on.
All engines ready. System all green.
Energy output stable.
Roger.
Activating gravity control unit.
Lifting off!
It stopped.
Shingo...
It's okay, it'll work.
It's the ship Mr. Porte and I built. It'll definitely work.
Work...
Work!
Gravity Control Unit active!
Shingo!
Mr. Porte...
Orion: launch!
Thanks, Kaoru.
Are you okay, Shingo?
Yeah. Let's go full sail toward the sea!
Everyone, hold on tight!
You did it, Shingo!
We made it...
It's Pague!
Pague!
Goodbye!
Thank you!
Alright everyone, let's head for the mainland!
We've started our voyage to the mainland...
Everyone's seasick and sayin' they wanna go back to the island.
No way! We can't go back at this point!
But putting everyone through such hardship to go to the mainland...
Luna, chin up!
Once you've decided, all you can do is believe in yourself and follow through!
Next time: Don't complain
