The Vision of Escaflowne (天空のエスカフローネ)

Was it all just a dream? Or a vision?

No, it all really happened, all right.

It all began on that day I asked the tarot cards if I'd find love.

See ya! - 'Bye!

See ya later!

Sure!

Ready!

Hey, Hitomi! Do a reading for me!

Maybe later!

Geez, where the heck is she?

Practice is starting, Hitomi!

I know, I know!

Okay! Next!

Damn it, Hitomi!

You're late!

Late, big time!

When a member of the track team shows up late for practice,

it's the manager -- me -- that gets yelled at. Got it?

Sorry, Yukari!

I got hung up working on my term paper.

So, did I miss the guys' time trials?

Aw, for cryin' out loud... This next one's the last.

Your object d'drool is running in this one.

Captain Amano...

Ready!

10.64 seconds...

Hitomi, he's awesome! Awesome!

Amano beat 11 seconds!

He's incredible!

Okay, we're gonna do the girls' times next!

Coming!

Hitomi?

What's the big idea?!

Get your butt out there.

All right, already!

Ready.

Ready!

Go for it, Hitomi!

What's going on...?

It's hot...

The wind's hot...

Are you ready, Prince Van?

Yeah. I'll be fine.

I'm sure you'll be able to slay the dragon, Prince Van.

Keep your brother's disgrace from your mind.

Enough, Balgus. I'll never show my back to an enemy.

Amano...

Captain Amano? Where--

You should stay in bed.

I'm sorry...

I'm just glad you weren't hurt.

Thanks.

Your form is pretty much perfect, Kanzaki.

You've been practicing your heart out since junior high to do it.

No, I haven't even broken 13 seconds...

I wish I could run as fast as you, Amano.

I think it's all in the way you come off the blocks.

You focus everything you've got, and then launch yourself forward.

Focus everything...?

Yeah.

Hey, that's a nice pendant.

Oh, this?

It's a good luck charm I got from my grandmother.

It's really interesting, actually.

When you swing it like this, it acts like a pendulum clock,

always completing one cycle a second, never slowing down.

Can I try it?

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

Eleven.

Twelve.

Thirteen.

Fourteen.

Fifteen.

Sixteen.

Sevent-- - Kanzaki.

The truth is, I...

I...

Hitomi!

I brought your duffel!

Yukari...! Come on, Yukari!

Say something, Yukari!

I think I can let this slide for a Yuugetsudo strawberry rice cake.

And some Kamakuraya cheesecake, a Shounan-Honpo bean jam pancake,

and some Gelat Classic peppermint ice cream.

Oh, and maybe a different dessert every day. I think that'll do it.

Come on, I didn't collapse on purpose, okay?!

Oh, really? I bet you're wondering if something...

...would've happened if I hadn't shown up.

Jerk.

Hitomi?

Have you ever done a reading for you and Amano?

No.

Why not?

Well, what if it said it wouldn't work out?

Oh.

But if you really like him...

What's wrong, Yukari?

Look, Hitomi... I overheard some of the upperclassmen talking.

They were saying that... that Amano might be leaving the country!

He might not be coming to the prefectural track meet!

So...

Look, I know how you feel about him, Hitomi...

You should tell him. You'll regret it if you don't.

I know you'll regret it if you don't...

Kanzaki

Hitomi? Hitomi, the bath's ready!

Hitomi?

The Tower.

The card of distant separation...

No...!

Amano's leaving the country! I'll never see him again!

The Ace of Serpents...? Courage?

I'm sorry that I won't be able to run with you in the meet,

but I know you'll do great.

I'll be waiting to hear the good news over there.

Write us when you get there, okay, Amano?

Sure.
