Synopsis

Karasuma prepares to leave Earth, and so an alien mother ship is summoned. Harima decides to take matters into his hands by stopping him from leaving, because that would make Tenma sad, and this is something he would never want due to his love for her. Before Tenma's eyes, Karasuma beats Harima handily and confesses that he fabricated some of Tenma's memories to facilitate his infiltration into Earth, and during his investigative duties, he fell in love with her. However, now that he has to leave, she will have to forget everything about him. Despite the affirmation of her love for him, when she wakes up, she only sees Harima next to her, and seeks comfort in his arms... As the scene turns black-and-white, revealing that these events are all part of Harima's finally finished manga. In the real world, after Karasuma takes Tenma home, he simply leaves and tells her to take care, leading her to think he will change schools.

Harima races to take his manga to the editor, but ends up slamming against Eri's limousine. She offers to take it to the editor, not knowing its contents, to make up for the accident, all the while trying to fight her own feelings for Harima. Meanwhile, Yakumo comes home and finds Tenma depressed over the prospect of Karasuma leaving. She is cheered up by being reminded that she should just do what she can instead of regretting not having done it. Afraid that Karasuma might already be gone, Tenma runs around trying to find him, but stumbles and hits her head against a cat's, making them switch consciousness with each other. While the cat in Tenma's body goes off to play around with Harima, Tenma in the cat's body eventually finds Karasuma and gives her the fish the cat was carrying. But Karasuma not only deduces the cat is Tenma and gladly accepts the fish, but also confesses he is going nowhere... Only for Tenma to find that she was dreaming. She is then told by Karasuma that he will not change schools, and that he had to leave her last night due to rehearsals with the school band.

Leaving school the next day, Tenma gathers all the courage she can to try to declare herself to Karasuma after giving him his birthday gift, which consists of a series of fish on a stick, following the dream she had. As in the dream, Karasuma accepts the fish and enjoys eating them. However, much to Tenma's frustration, he reminds her that his birthday was two days before. Later, she awakens yet again being carried on Karasuma's back. As she asks him if that is another dream, he tells her that they are actually living a dream, the dream of youth, from which they may snap out someday, but the memories will stay forever. And, just as Tenma is about to confess her love to him, the camera zooms out, far away from Earth, as one of the UFOs from Harima's manga rushes by.
