Lunchtime
at the Umi no Hoshi elementary school, and the well-behaved would-be
intellectuals of class 4-2 are settling down to their lunches. Once
again, their peaceful lunch hour is interrupted by the racket caused
by the noisy students of class 4-3 (Sasami's class) in the next room,
and Kiyone Amayuri, the teacher of 4-2, has had enough. She storms into
the classroom and launches into a furious tirade directed at Mihoshi
and her rowdy charges, although simply Mihoshi brushes it off with her
characteristically blameless attitude. As Kiyone is busy laying into
Mihoshi, the students quickly finish their lunches and sneak out to
the games courts for their regular game of dodge ball. Kenji spots a
ball on the court and, thinking it has been left behind, kicks it out
of the way. However, the ball belongs to class 4-2...
As Hiroto starts
dividing up the class into two teams, Sasami notices that Misao has
been left behind. She goes back inside to find her preparing her books
for the next class. Misao is reluctant to play because she says she
is always the first to be knocked out of the game, but Sasami convinces
her to join in.
Just
as the dodge ball game is about to start, class 4-2 troop out onto the
playground and demand use of the court. They insist that they left their
ball there to reserve the court, but, as Konoha points out, it is no
longer there. Kenji admits that he moved the ball, but Hiroto insists
that there is no rule about using a ball to reserve the court. Neither
class can come to an agreement about who has the right to use the court,
but fortunately, the school principal arrives on the scene and proposes
a solution; both classes should play each other, and the winners get
to use the court.
The game starts,
and 4-2 quickly get possession of the ball. Using their dreaded triangle
formation technique, they pick off four of 4-3's players. Hiroto catches
the ball, putting 4-3 back in control, and resorts to his special "Magic
Ball" throw; a slow ball that drops to the ground at the last second
to prevent the opponent from catching it. However, Hiroto's technique
is a pretty poor one, since it still means the opponents get possession
of the ball, and class 4-2 are back on the offensive again! Before long
only Hiroto, Konoha, Sasami and Misao remain. Sasami fears that they
will lose without getting to attack even once. Misao, however, suspects
that Sasami is trying to cover her and keep her in the game, which is
ruining their chances. 
She
offers to drop out of the game to give Sasami a chance of turning the
game around, but Hiroto dives in front of the incoming ball to protect
her. Hiroto is out, but 4-3 are in possession again. As Sasami prepares
to attack, Rumiya swoops towards the court and hypnotises Misao, who
stumbles away in a daze. With 4-3 down to two players, Kiyone thinks
that her students have an easy victory, but Sasami pulls out all the
stops and uses her special dodge ball attacks, managing to knock out
all but three of 4-2's players. Suddenly, the sky darkens and out steps
Pixy Misa, ready to see class 4-3 gets a sound thrashing. She uses
her
magic to bring the ball and the lines of the dodge ball court to life.
Ball Girl, a huge ball with arms and legs, tries to knock Sasami and
Konoha out, but they keep dodging, so Line Girl causes the court to
shrink to keep them in one place. Ryo-ohki rushes onto the scene and
suggests that Pretty Sammy should sort this situation out. Sasami makes
her excuses and dashes off to transform. 
By the time she returns, 4-3's
side of the court has shrunk to just a few square feet and Konoha has
been crushed by Ball Girl. Sammy
steps in to take her place and after dodging several attacks by Ball
Girl, casts her Pretty Coquettish Bomber spell. Ball Girl and Line
Girl
are blasted away, and Pixy Misa makes a speedy escape. However, the
ball falls onto Sammy's head, meaning she is out of the game! Just
as
Kiyone and class
4-2 think they are victorious, Misao steps back onto the court and tosses
the ball at 4-2's last remaining team member. Class 4-3 have won!
The next day, Kiyone
waits on the dodge ball court, determined to see her class win in a
rematch. However, class 4-3 have gathered on the school roof, having
found a new game to play at lunchtime - cat's cradle!
