Episode 13 -	All I Want is You
	KIMI ga hoshī
	[I Want You]
First aired -	27th December 1996

A fire is raging in an apartment building in Umi no Hoshi town. The fire crew arrives on the scene, only to discover that the ever-resourceful Ginji Kawai is already tackling the fire, doing the work of six firemen. Within minutes the fire is out, and the apartment's sole occupant, Mihoshi Mizutani (Sasami's teacher) is still sitting unharmed at her table!

Sunday morning, and beleaguered fourth-grade teacher Kiyone Amayuri's breakfast is interrupted when her colleague Mihoshi arrives unannounced and begs her to let her stay. Kiyone, however, refuses to live under the same roof as her irresponsible colleague, and tries to kick her out. However, Mihoshi soon manages to find her way back in. When Kiyone receives a phone call from her mother, Mihoshi listens in on the speakerphone. Kiyone's mother has grown impatient with her daughter's inability to find a husband and has sorted out an arranged marriage for her. Kiyone is reluctant to get involved in any marriage arrangement, but a parcel arrives with the details of her chosen husband-to-be. The man, a handsome fellow by the name of Ando Toyokawa, is a rich, successful Harvard graduate, and Kiyone begins to warm to the idea.

By the next morning, and thanks to Mihoshi's gossiping, the entire school knows about Kiyone's arranged marriage. This only adds to Kiyone's nervousness, and by the time she takes her first class she is so agitated she can't even remember what she is supposed to be teaching! Mihoshi and her class are so concerned about Kiyone's welfare that they decide to help her in any way they can.

That night, Sasami explains the situation to her parents. They are pleased that Sasami wants to help, and decide to do their bit as well. Meanwhile, Kiyone fantasises about her meeting with Ando while she chooses her outfit. Mihoshi can't help but notice that she picks the same suit she wears to all her most important occasions.

The next day, Kiyone heads for the café where she is supposed to meet Ando, and Mihoshi has invited herself along too. Kiyone feels that Mihoshi's talent for messing things up is not welcome, and sends her home again. By the time she reaches the café Kiyone starts having second thoughts, and she is just about to leave when Honoka "accidentally" trips and pushes Kiyone through the doors. Ginji, dressed as a Maītre-d', welcomes her in. As Kiyone sits at the bar, she suspects that there is some interfering going on. In fact, not only have Sasami and her parents turned up, but Mihoshi and several of her students have too, and they are all seated around the café wearing dark glasses to disguise themselves. Just as Kiyone is getting even more suspicious (Ginji is acting as the barman as well), the lights go out and Ando Toyokawa makes a distinctly dramatic entrance, producing rainbows from each hand.

With the date underway, Kiyone and Ando seem to be hitting it off quite well. Kiyone finds she has so much in common with Ando that she even entertains thoughts of marriage. However, the course of true love never runs smoothly, at least not if Pixy Misa has anything to do with it. After materialising on the table in front Ando, she accuses him of being the enemy of all women, indicating the young lady in a wedding dress banging on the window. Ando protests his innocence, even when she is joined by a second, a third and a fourth apparently jilted bride. Before long there are dozens of wedding gowned women hammering at the window, and poor Kiyone passes out in shock! Ando continues to deny any knowledge of these women, so Misa steps her tactics up a notch by summoning Break-up Girl, a Love-Love Monster that embodies the spirit of every woman who has ever been left at the altar. Ando tries to force her away using his rainbow love ribbons, but Break-up Girl puts up a magical barrier to protect herself. Time, Ryo-Ohki suggests, for Pretty Sammy to put in an appearance.

By the time Sammy arrives on the scene, Break-up Girl has Ando in a bone-crushing bear hug and is demanding back all the years she gave him. Sammy tries to attack, but Break-up Girl's magical shield is too strong. However, Ginji comes to the rescue, side-stepping Break-up Girl's barrier and suggesting that she should seek a wonderful future with him. Touched by his heart-melting line, Break-up Girl falls at his feet. However, Honoka is angered by Ginji flirting with another woman and gives him a ferocious uppercut. Spotting her opportunity, Sammy fires off her Pretty Coquettish Bomber move at Break-up Girl, sending her flying. Ginji, still sprawled on the floor, is so impressed by his beloved wife's punch that they fall in love all over again. Kiyone, however, is not so lucky. She regains consciousness just in time to see Ando confessing his love for Pretty Sammy! Kiyone is devastated, but Mihoshi teaches Ando a lesson by giving him a Honoka-style uppercut that sends him flying through the same hole in the roof left by Break-up Girl's exit.

Back at Kiyone's apartment that night, Mihoshi apologises for punching Kiyone's date, but Kiyone is grateful; she decides that she was rushing into things, and should wait for someone she wants to marry instead. However, her love life is still the subject of much interference, as the school principal has already found another man for Kiyone to meet!
