Episode 1

Story A - I’m Minori Tatsumaki!

In a small bedroom, a teenage girl with long red hair lays in bed, sprawled partially out of her covers. She snores. She is unaware of the door slowly opening as a figure creeps in. Sleeping unawares, the figure creeps up before slamming a pillow on her face, causing the girl to jump up to her feet. She meets face to face with a much younger girl and after a moment or two, she tries to tackle the girl, which turns into her chasing her around the room.

Girl: Miho!!!! This is the last time!!!!

Miho: mama and papa told me to get you up!!!!

Girl: huh..wait..*the girl stops and grabs her clock looking at it* GAH I’M GOING TO BE LATE!

The girl scrambles to get dressed, tying her hair up in a long hair braid.

Miho: told you so!!!!

Girl: shut up!!!!

After some time, Miho walks downstairs. A woman is working on a meal, while a man sits at the table.

Woman: Miho? did you wake up your sister?

Miho nods, just as the teenage girl bursts downstairs.

Woman: oh good morning, Min-

Girl: NO TIME! SEEYA!!!!

Woman sighs and holds up a school bag. After a moment or two, the girl bolts back and grabs the bag, running back out.

The teenage girl runs past a group of bushes. As she does so, they rustle and a young woman with short brown hair, bursts up from the plants, wearing dark glasses.

Woman: I’ve finally found you, Minori Tatsumaki

Woman glances up and notices a bird on top of her head, who then pecks her in the middle her face, causing her to flail and fall backwards.

In a classroom, the teacher is calling roll.

Teacher: Kagemori (here), Hanamura (here!!), Saito (here…), Fujigumi (huh? here), Tatsumaki….Tatsumaki??

The door bursts open and as it does so, the red haired girl scrambled through the door, past the teacher and students and through an open window, crashing.

Teacher: and Tatsumaki is here *marks it on her paper*

The girl meanwhile has thankfully landed in the tree and frowns as a nest has gotten itself stuck on her head, a bird flying over to feed it’s chicks. An arrow points to her head with the words “Minori Tatsumaki - Protagonist”

Meanwhile, on the ground, the woman from before now lays facedown, unconscious. An arrow points to the woman that reads “Freya de Tura - Knocked Out”

Story B - I’m Freya!

Minori Tatsumaki dribbles the ball down the basketball court, avoiding all her classmates, before making an easy basket. She is unaware of Freya taking a photo of her as her classmates celebrate with her.

Freya: Minori Tatsumaki. 15 years old. Good at athletics.

Minori Tatsumaki sits in the classroom, lounging at her desk, half paying attention. She doesn’t notice her name being called, until she gets an eraser thrown in her face. Freya once again takes a photo of her.

Freya: not very good at academics.

Minori is walking home and stops in front of a vending machine. She digs in her skirt pocket and pulls out a coin and puts it in and chooses a drink. When it doesn’t come out, she starts kicking the machine, then punching it, then shaking it with her bare hands, before, looking down into it, the drink shooting out into her face. Freya once again takes a photo.

Freya: Apparently terrible temper. That has to be her.

Freya takes another photo, only to hear a growling noise next to her. She glance over, only to find a large dog face to face with her. The dog leaps on her, Minori glancing sideways for a moment, before hearing the machine drop another drink and grabbing it, walking away.

Back at her home, Minori is at the dinner table with her parents and her little sister. Minori reaches out to grab a piece from the hot pot they’re having, only for Miho to grab it before her.

Minori: hey! that was mine!!!

Miho: hee you’re too slow!

Minori tries to grab the piece with her chopsticks but Miho keeps dodging her easily. Minori finally manages to grab part of it but it then turns into a tug of war with each of them. The parents ignore this, having obviously gotten used to all this. There’s the sound of a knock at the door.

Mother: Minori, will you get the door please?

Minori: huh?

Minori is distracted enough that Miho snatches the food and eats it.

Minori: HEY! Father: Minori, do as your mother says.

Minori grumbles and gets out of her chair and heads to door, opening it.

Freya stands there, leaning on a large stick, looking horribly beat up, her clothes ripped. She tries to say something but instead collapses on the ground in front of the door. Minori blinks, then slowly closes the door.

Mother: who was it?

Minori: nobody

Freya lays there, as a bird flies over and then starts pecking at her head.

Episode 2

Story A - Minori’s Day

Minori races down the school hallway, just as the bell starts to ring. Opening the door, she slides through as the sound of her crashing rings out.

Teacher (off screen): Tatsumaki..present

After what is obviously a while later, Minori is walking down the hallway, sighing and rubbing the back of her head.

??: well well well, it seems the peasant managed to make her way to school once more.

Minori grimaces and turns towards another girl, who is surrounded by several other girls, a few of whom are bowing.

Minori: You trying to start something, Tomoko?

Minori gives a sideways glance to Tomoko, the girls behind her quickly hiding behind their “boss”. An arrow appears next to head reading “Tomoko Kawasaki - Rich and royal pain in the butt”.

Tomoko: ohohoho ever the crude one, aren’t you, Tatsumaki! You do know I will gladly let you into my fan club if you wish!

Minori: why would I do that?

Tomoko: well naturally because I’m beautiful, rich, smart, rich, talented, rich, popular and did I mention I’m rich ohohohoho!!!! I would do you well to make friends with those who are your betters ohohohohoho!

The girls applaud around Tomoko, while she continues to laugh, not even aware Minori wandered off half way through her little speech.

Gym Period. Minori is lounging under a tree as her class attempts to play a soccer game. She glances over, noticing a white haired student trying to play the game and utterly failing. She shrugs and closes her eyes once again, only to have a ball nearly hit her.

Minori: Hey! Minori looks annoyed, as another girl runs up to grab the soccer ball.

Akira: hey you ok there, Minori?

Akira smiles, the light glinting off her teeth, causing Minori to groan in annoyance.

Minori: can you try and not do that?

Akira: oh gosh sorry!

Akira covers her mouth, as a sign appears next to her head. It reads “Akira Kazama - Childhood friend. Shiny Teeth. Irritatingly Perfect”

Akira: you know you really should get back to class. I don’t want you to get in trouble

Minori: eh i’ll be fine

Minori waves off Akira, who simply smiles.

Akira: anyway, I’ll see you after gym!

Akira runs off to the field, Minori slipping back into sleep, unaware of Freya rising up out of the bushes, dressed in camouflage gear. She’s about to poke Minori with a stick, when a ball flies past and hits her in the face, causing her to crash back into the bushes.

Student: sorry!

School is ending and Minori closes her shoe locker, heading out.

??: wa…wait!!!!

Minori looks over and spots a young woman hobbling towards her, again looking injured. Minori has an utterly stunned look on her face on how messed up the woman looks.

Freya: allow me to introduce myself! My name is Freya De Tura and you! are the queen I’ve been looking for!!!!

Story B - I Ain’t no Queen!!!

Minori sits in one of the empty classrooms, just looking at Freya, who has managed to clean herself up somehow and sits completely still. Minori keeps staring at her, with Freya staring back again. After a moment or two, Minori frowns and reaches over, pausing and then waving her hand in front of her face.

Freya: I’M SO HAPPY!!!!

Minori is startled enough that she almost falls out of her chair

Freya: at last! I’ve found you! I could cry!!!

She does so, rather over the top as well

Minori: are you..alright?

Freya: excuse me! my joy simply overwhelmed me. Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Freya and you!

Freya points dramatically at Minori, close enough that she could poke her eye out easily

Freya: you are the Queen of Quinox!

Minori: twin ox?

Minori imagines herself dressed in an ox costume with a crown on her head.

Freya: no no Quinox! the legendary tenth planet! you see…

Freya bats away a fly which is buzzing around her head

The following scenes are done in a classical oil paint style.

Freya: long ago each of the planets were home to different kingdoms, ruled over by kindly queens. These women ruled justly and a golden age prospered. However, an evil power attacked these worlds and in the chaos, the queens were killed. In a last desperate act, the queen of the moon made a wish on the silver crystal, sending their souls to the planet Earth to be reborn on the present day. You, Minori Tatsumaki, are the reborn Queen of Quinox!

Freya points dramatically, only to find Minori having fallen asleep

Freya: PAY ATTENTION

Minori slowly wakes up and yawns

Freya: did you hear anything I said at all!?

Minori: what you’re saying is crazy..why should I believe you anyway?

Freya: well because I-

The fly buzzes under Freya’s nose

Freya: I…I..I..ACHOO!!!

Freya sneezes! There’s a poof of smoke and instead of the young woman from before, a brown cat sits in her spot.

Minori:…….

Freya:…….

back home, Minori’s mother is working on the dinner, while her father is looking over the food, trying to reach for it, only to have his hand hit by the back of her spoon, Miho giggling. There’s the sound of rapid footsteps outside and the door suddenly bursts open, Minori holding up the cat version of Freya

Minori: I GOT A FREE CAT!

Freya just sweat drops

Episode 3

Story A - Minori and the Bicycle

Minori walks out of the door, blindfolded, followed by Freya as a cat, along with her parents and Miho

Minori: can I look????

Father coughs for a moment

Father: as you are well aware, you’re almost 16 years old and your mother and I decided that it’s time you had a little independence getting around the city.

Minori: wait…you got me a car!? a motorcycle!

Father: even better!

Father removes the blindfold revealing…a pink bicycle. With a horn.

Minori:……

Miho: the horn was my idea!

Minori’s facial expression is not one of joy.

Mother: I hope you enjoy using it from now on!

Minori’s face still hasn’t changed and in fact has gotten worse.

Minori sighs, riding the bicycle, slowly. Freya is walking alongside her

Minori: I can’t believe they did this to me. I wanted a motorcycle! a motorcycle!

Freya: that’s not important now! What’s more important is that you learn how to be a proper queen!

Minori: will you quit that! I’m not going to be a q-

??: OHOHOHOHOHO

Minori:..and here she comes

Tomoko approaches on her own bicycle, followed by her followers on their own bicycles.

Tomoko: well now..if it isn’t the little miss peasant? ohohoho! Just what do you call that?? Why, such a toy belongs to a child, though I suppose that matches you ohohoho!

Minori angrily grips the bicycle handles

Minori: yeah well that wimpy little bike of yours is no match for my speed, miss perfect

Tomoko grimaces angrily, wringing her hands on the handle

Tomoko: you dare….very well..we shall see..who is the true master of speed!

The two girls “revve up” their bicycles like motorcycles and after a signal from one of the other girls, they take off! Leaving Freya behind.

Freya: h…hey..wait!…I can’t belive it…

Minori and Tomoko drive like crazy across town. As they ride, they bump into each other, the sound of crowds roaring piercing the air. The two zoom past, nearly hitting Inazumi and Chiyo in the process and running over a dark skinned man in a white suit.

Tomoko: I will not be beaten!!!!!

Minori: Take this!!!!!!!

the two girls bounce off the top of a car and fly into midair. The two bikes and passengers then plunge towards a passing truck and there’s a huge explosion, destroying several buildings in the process. The scene then pauses as Minori looks at the VHS tape cover in front of her.

Minori: aw man. I thought this movie was actually going to be a good one. Bikes causing an explosion that big. Yeah, right.

Minori then turns off the TV as well as the viewer.

Story B - I don’t know english!

Minori sighs as she walks into her room and sits down at her desk. She opens up a small book and frowns at the blank pages

Freya; is something wrong, my queen?

Freya is sitting on the edge of the windowsill, now in human form.

Minori: My name’s Minori! Mi-no-ri and i’m not a queen! It’s just this stupid english homework i’ve got to do. Uggggggh I’M NO GOOD AT THIS SORT OF THING!

Minori pulls a bit at her hair with Freya sighing at this. Freya pauses and then snaps her fingers.

Freya: I know! What if I just beam the language into your brain!

Minori: wait you can do that!?

Freya: oh yes! It should be easy enough to do! So just close your eyes and I’ll begin! Minori closes her eyes tightly. Freya reaches out and places her fingers against Minori’s forehead. After a moment, Freya’s Q symbol on her forehead glows. Minori slowly opens her eyes.

Freya: that should do it!

Minori: ¡Ahora por fin puedo terminar mi tarea! Espera, ¿por qué sueno así?

Freya blinks then hits her fist in her palm

Freya: oh yes! there’s more then one language on this planet, isn’t there!

Minori: Pues cambialo !!

Freya: alright alright!

Freya tries again

Minori: essayez encore!

Freya tries yet again

Minori: riprova!

Freya tries yet again. There’s a knock at Minori’s door.

Minori’s mother: Minori! It’s almost time for dinner! Are you coming downstairs?

Minori: Shì de, māmā! Wǒ mǎshàng jiù huì shīwàngle!

Minori’s mother: a-are you alright, Minori?

Minori grimaces, her fist shaking: y..y-yes..I..am..fish shoe…..

Minori’s mother: oh! well if you say so!

Minori’s mother heads downstairs, laughing a bit to herself

Minori looks back angerly at Freya

Minori: FISH THIS!!!!

Freya: alright alright!

Freya tries one last time

Minori: h..hello….hello…oh thank god! I’m back to normal!

Minori sighs and rests her head against the desk

Minori: i thought I’d be like that forever

Freya: well since that’s done, you can at least get your homework done

Minori: yeah I ca-GAH MY HOMEWORK! FREYA I NEED YOU TO BEAM THAT ENGLISH INTO MY HEAD

Freya: wait you just said-

Minori: come on Freya, I need you to do it!

Freya: no way!

Minori starts to chase Freya around the room, begging her to do what she did before, while Freya keeps refusing

Episode 4

Story A - Here Comes Jenn and Trenton

Teacher: class, we have some new students who will be joining us in class today. Please introduce yourselves.

The girl, who has short brown hair steps forward, an invisible breeze seems to blow through the room as petals fly by.

Girl: I’m Jenn Collins, a pleasure to meet you

a boy steps forward, sparkles around him as well

Boy: Trenton Collins, glad to be here.

Teacher: please have a seat

Jenn walks past several of the students, all of whom whisper excitly about the new girl, especially the boys. Jenn takes a seat next to Minori, who glances over, only to have the other girl glance back with a graceful smile on her face. Trenton meanwhile is immediately surrounded by several of the girls, as well as a few boys who ask him questions.

Minori leans against a wall during gym, while Jenn gracefully hits back one of the volleyballs to the other side of the net. Akira walks over to Minori.

Akira: hey aren’t you going to join?

Minori: people like her bug me

Akira: huh? collins-san?

Minori: yeah, they always think they’re perfect and end up making the rest of us look bad

In music class, Jenn plays a graceful piece of violin music, while Tomoko watches, just stewing with rage.

Minori: i mean seriously. She’s acts like she’s some kind of princess. How the heck are the rest of us suppose to compete.

Minori sits in class again, frowning and watching as a few girls chat with Jenn, each of them complimenting her on her looks and her grace. Trenton walks forward towards the small crowd.

Minori: I mean give me a break. There must be something that makes her normal.

Trenton: dear sister, I think it would be in your best interest not to bore these lovely girls with your pointless little stories. I suggest we get back to class work.

Jenn pauses, then grabs the teacher’s desk and slams it hard over her brother, causing it to crack in half.

Trenton bolts up right, fuming.

Trenton: what was that for, you crazy woman!?

Jenn: My stories are not boring and you better not call me crazy

Trenton: Crazy crazy! You’re totally crazy!

Trenton makes a mocking face at Jenn, who growls angerly and grabs her violin, trying to swing it at his head several times.

The rest of the class slowly goes from looks of admiration to looks of slight discomfort and head back towards their desks.

Minori: huh…guess they are pretty normal after all

Minori then ducks as another desk flies past her head as the two siblings continue their mocking tones

Story B- Here comes orion!

Freya wanders over to a bench, looking utterly exhausted. She sighs. She watches as several couples walk by and looks dejected and depressed.

??: Now what’s bothering you, my love?

Freya looks surprised, then slowly turns, only to find herself looking face to face with a young man with silver hair tied back in a ponytail. An arrow appears next to his head “Orion Felinus - Suave, good looking, gentleman”

Freya: Orion?..ORION!!

Freya embraces Orion, starting to cry. Orion strokes her hair and holds her close.

Orion: there there, it’s alright now. We’re together again.

Freya: but how…when?

Orion: it’s a long story..but how are you doing? Did you find your queen??

Freya: Well, you could say that….

Minori snores in bed, face down and sprawled across the covers. Freya hops on her back. Freya: Minori! wake up! you’re going to be late to class. again.

Minori keeps snoring. Freya jumps on her back several times with no success. Minori turns over, knocking Freya off the bed. Freya grumbles and leaps up, landing on Minori’s face. Freya looks confident that Minori is going to wake up, only for Minori to keep snoring under her. There’s a knock at the door.

Mother: Minori! it’s time to get up, you’re going to be late!

Minori bolts up right, sending Freya flying out of the window and crashing to the ground below in human form.

Freya: we still have a little work to do. What about you?

Orion: oh well I’m taking care of the twins. I have to say they’re just the same as I remember them.

Jenn is playing a piece on her violin while Trenton watches

Trenton: you’re flat

Jenn: what?

Trenton: I said you’re flat, you got the note wrong

Jenn: i did not get it wrong!

Trenton: oh i’m sorry! do i need to repeat myself. I said you got it wrong!

Jenn grips her violin like it’s a bat

Jenn: you want to say that again??

Orion: now now you two, I’m sure Trenton is just trying to h-

Orion gets whacked in the face on accident by the violin

Jenn: I did not make a mistake!!

Trenton: you calling me a liar??

Orion manages to get back up again, only to get whacked in the face as Trenton makes a large gesture. Orion decides this time just to stay down as the twins argue.

Orion and Freya both have a look on their face that are less then pleased. Both sigh and bow their heads in defeat.
