Hurry Grandma!

The train's coming!

Coming.

Here, this is your ticket to Nagasaki.

And this is your lunch.

Don't get mixed up, now.

I sure hope you'll be okay on your own, Mimiko.

Who, me?

I'll be fine.

Anyway, I've got school so there's no choice.

No.

I just can't go.

Grandpa's memorial service is important.

But I just can't leave you alone.

Oh, Grandma! You're such a worry wart!

You have to get on!

Don't worry, I'll write a letter every day.

Okay?

There.

See you later!

Mimiko!

Make sure you write me every day!

Don't worry, I'll be fine!

See?

Hello, Mimiko.

Where's your Grandma?

She just left.

Um, I'd like some apples, onions and potatoes, please.

Sure.

That means you'll be all alone from tonight.

No problem!

I can do the cooking, cleaning and the wash!

What a good little girl.

Mimiko doesn't have a father or mother.

But she doesn't seem lonely!

Aren't you gonna get scared and cry, being alone at night?

I'll be just fine!

If I see a ghost, then...

Hi-yaah!

I'll beat him up and make him my servant!

You sure are full of energy, Mimi.

Here, this one's on the house.

Thank you!

What a good little girl.

In actual fact, it's she who takes care of Grandma.

Mimi, I hear you're on your own for a while.

Yep.

That's no good.

What if a burglar gets in your house?

Oh, that'd be great!

I've never seen a burglar before!

Ha, you got me there!

Hey... that's weird.

It wasn't like this when I left.

Wonder if it's a burglar?!

Oh, boy.

Somebody was definitely here while I was out.

I'm sure this bucket was put away properly before.

Oh, boy!!!

Wow, a cute stuffed panda!

Wow!

I'm positive you and I are gonna be friends!

Great!

My very first visitor is a panda!

Go on in.

Wait here, and I'll get us some drinks!

Ups-a-daisy!

There you are.

What a cute way to drink!

Daddy!

Daddy!

I don't see anybody.

Oh, someone's here.

Hang on a second.

Come in!

Thank you, I will.

What a nice house.

The weather's nice too.

And the bamboo grove is especially nice.

I've come to see if my panda son is here.

I thought so!

So you're the panda's father!

Come in!

I've just made drinks!

Please don't trouble yourself.

I guess this seat really didn't like being sat upon.

I'm sure this seat will want you to sit on it!

Now this is a nice seat!

The kitchen is nice, too.

And the bamboo grove is especially nice!

Which reminds me...

I should say hello to your parents.

No need to do that.

Because I don't have either mom or dad!

What?!

You don't have a dad?!

That won't do!

But I'm just fine!

I can get along on my own!

No sire.

In order to raise children, there have to be parents.

Like you need a bamboo grove to grow bamboo shoots.

It'd probably be better to have them.

What a nice bamboo grove!

I know!

Why don't I become your father?

Pardon?!

It's hard for a father to become a mother!

But it's easy to become a father!

Nothing to it!

I'm already a dad.

So it'd be nothing for me to become a father!

I'd like even just one father!

Mr. Panda! Be my father!

And in turn, I'll be Panny's mommy!

Okay?

Then the three of us will live here in this house!

Oh, boy!

Great! Great! Mommy! Mommy!

Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy!

That's nice of you.

Panny's always wanted a mom.

Daddy!

Yes?

Daddies wear a hat, you know!

And daddies read a newspaper in the room.

And they smoke a pipe.

Thank you...

You're very welcome!

And daddies...

Um, daddies...

Daddies give hugs, too...

Okay!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Yes, little girl.

That's weird, calling me "little girl".

Call me "Mimiko".

Huh?

Mimiko.

Daddy.

Mommy.

What is it, Panny?

Mom's right here.

Isn't this nice.

It truly is.

And the bamboo grove is especially nice!

The bamboo grove?

Oh, I see!

What a nice bamboo grove.

Yes, I'm coming.

Got one!

Mine, too!

Very nice!

Is it good?

This is so great!

It's the happiest day of my life!

Standing on your head when you're happy.

That's truly a fun thing to do.

"Dear Grandma. How are you?"

"I'm doing great."

"Because something really terrific happened."

"I got myself a daddy!"

"And I also got a baby."

"Right now Daddy's reading a picture book upside-down..."

"...while he eats some bamboo."

"Panny's fallen asleep."

"I'll have to get his bed ready."

"Well, I'd better get going."

"Being a mother is wonderful, and it keeps you so busy!"

"Take care."

"Bye, Grandma."
