Twenty-Third Duel [Video Post, Japanese]

[Three... two... one... BZZZZAP!]

OUCH! [Utena bolts upright with a shout. She was laid down on her bed only a few seconds ago, taking an afternoon nap after pulling an all-night watch for Gohl. With or without Prydain's say-so.]

[Hissing painfully, she rubs a hand against her lower back as sits up.] Geez... that really smarts. [Looking past her shoulder, the camera focuses up at her face from the side. She makes a grab toward the communicator, fingers obscuring the camera's view as she pulls it closer.]

What's it even doing there? I thought that I--... Chuu!

Eh? [Chu-Chu can be seen standing on her pillow, tilting his head curiously at her.] Did you move it there, Chu-Chu? You were probably playing with it, huh? Chuu?

Well, I guess it's not such a big deal... The shock isn't so bad, but try to be more careful for my sake next time, okay? [...] Wait. This date... [She blinks at she leans toward the camera to get a better look at the communicator.] ...It's my birthday today, isn't it? Huh. I never thought that I'd be spending it in a place like this.

[Then, as she looks up, Utena ends up staring straight at something off screen.] Wait a second, that's-... But it's only been two days! [...] Still, that scent... it's just like-...

[She runs a hand through the bangs of her hair, clearly perplexed at the growth rate of this plant and letting out an exasperated sigh.] Oh, I just don't get it!

[As she turns around to step out of bed, her foot catches on part of the cover on the floor and she starts to fall. A graceful tumble forward that lands her flat on her face and with a hard thud. The communicator, being pulled along with the ride, slides down and the viewers catch a glimpse of her plant with white roses in full bloom. The recording times out once gravity finally takes over and it tumbles over face down with a clatter.]

Really? well, um, if you're not busy, would you like to hang out today? I don't have any particular plans, and it would be fun to do something to celebrate your birthday.

I'm not sure where we could find the ingredients, but maybe we could track down some things to bake a cake...?

No, I'm not busy. I was resting up earlier, but I think that I've caught up with enough of the sleep that I lost during the night watch. -- Sure. Let's do it! I mean, it sounds like fun to me.

A cake, huh? I can't remember the last time that I helped cook anything like that. Not since Home Economics class.

Great! Where would you like to go? You're welcome over here, or I could come and meet you? I'm sure my roommates wouldn't mind, though they might makes things a little difficult...

It'll be a learning experience for both of us. Back home, me and my best friend split the cooking, but she's always been better at it. Baking should be fun though.

Whatever is easiest. But I think that the kitchen we have here isn't very reliable for cooking. I'll come and meet you. I don't think I've ever seen what kind of roommates you have.

Mm. I think so too. Well, I'm not too worried. Between the two of us, we should be able to make a decent cake.

Alright, I'll wait just outside of the building then.

I think so too. I'll see you in a few minutes, then!
