At the Park
(Hitoshi started listening to all of Nobita and Dekisugi's conversation.)
Dekisugi: "I know that you are hiding Doraemon in your basement."
(Nobita, shocked, asked, "How do you know that, Dekisugi?")
Nobita: "Yes, it's true. Doraemon doesn't go back to the future. He has some problems with his system."
(Then, Nobita explains what happened and starts crying.)
Dekisugi: "I know it because when I entered your house, you were talking to smne and That's when I understood something is wrong."
(Hitoshi is standing nearby, listening to their conversation.)
Hitoshi thought to himself: "Who is Doraemon, and why is Nobita hiding him?"
Dekisugi: "I know why you're studying robotics and why you've changed. It's all because of Doraemon. It's good that you're working hard to repair him."
Nobita: "Yeah and I will work hard and make sure that Doraemon will be ok again. It's my promise to him, Dekisugi."
Dekisugi: "That's good. If you ever need help, you can talk to me anytime."
Nobita: "Thank you, Dekisugi! Thank you very much."
(Nobita said this with tears in his eyes.)
(Hitoshi thinks to himself and runs off from the park.)
Hitoshi: "I need to find out who Doraemon is. I'll investigate first and then talk to Nobita. Looks like he's very close to him, so I'll keep it a secret for now."
The Next Day
At Nobita's House
Nobita's Mom: "Nobita, wake up! It's 7:30. You should have woken up by now!"
Nobita: "Just five more minutes, Mom! Please!"
Mom: "Wake up, Nobita! You'll be late for school!" (said in a loud voice)
Nobita: "Oh no, I'm going to be late for school!"
(Then Nobita wakes up, gets ready, and leaves the house at 7:45 AM.)
At Nobita's School
Nobita (shouting): "Hey, Megumi!"
Megumi: "Hello, Nobita! How are you?"
Nobita: "Megumi, thank you!"
Megumi: "Why are you thanking me, Nobita?"
Nobita: "Thank you for giving Shizuka the tickets."
Megumi: "No need to thank me. That's what friends are for."
Nobita: "Hey, let's wait for the others."
Megumi: "You know, Nobita, I used to feel shy every time I tried to make friends, but when I met you, I didn't feel that way."
Nobita (smiling): "Because we were supposed to be friends, and we know we are going to be friends forever."
Megumi: ".....Really,..Nobita?"
Nobita: "Yes, Megumi. I promise that I will always be your friend."
Megumi (smiling): "Thank you, Nobita, for helping me."
(Then Shizuka arrives.)
Shizuka: "Hey, how are you? Is no one else here?"
(Nobita and Megumi both say hi to Shizuka.)
Shizuka (in a low tone): "Hey, thank you, Nobita, for being my friend."
Nobita (in a low tone): "And thank you, too, for being a part of my life."
(After class, they all went to their homes.)
