[ Today you'll see a definitely more cheerful Menma, who waves at the screen frantically. She's sitting on the couch, with all her Pokémon plopped around her, either asleep or loofing around - her Ponyta is safely sitting on the floor at her feet. Her Petilil is perched on the girl's head. ]

Merry merry Christmas, everyone!!! [ Obligatory shout to the network. Did you miss happy Menma, guys? ]

I hope you're not hurt, after what happened. It was very scary, but we're all okay now! And Santa came to visit me, but I couldn't see him because I fell asleep! [ And there she pouts, seriously disappointed in herself for not being able to stay up. ] But he left me something under my bed! Look at this!

[ From below the screen, she picks up what looks like a white egg with some colored spots.

Menma places it on her lap. ]

He gave me a Nokémon! Does any of you know what it is? Don't tell me, though, I want it to be surprise! Just tell me if you think I'm gonna like it! ... Now that I know about it, Santa should know what I like after all!

[ Hmmm... she hums briefly, thinking of what to say next. ] ... Ah! And I also made some cookies for everyone! I only followed a recipe [ which she couldn't read well ], but I think they came out fantastic! If you want them, come here at the Breeding Centre in Goldenrod and you'll get them. I'll be waiting for you, ok? Love you all!

[ With a last wave, she turns the camera off. ]

Eeeh? But I never skated before...

It's just as easy as if you were wearing regular boots, you just move a lot faster! If you do get some, careful, because the skates are sharp.

That sounds like fun! Where can I buy them?

I think the department store has them on the third floor. You should ask if they have knee pads too!

Knee pads? What are those for?

In case you fall, you won't hurt yourself as much.

Ah! So that's very helpful! Do they cost a lot?

They shouldn't. If they are a little pricey, I'd be happy to foot the bill for you. Safety is important!

Nooo, you don't have to do that! You did a lot for me already!

Hehe, I just want to make sure you're safe when you have fun! It's important!

Oh, right, I can die if I'm not careful! I'm not a ghost anymore, it seems... [ how can you say all that so lightly!! ]

[Well that totally threw her off, staring in surprise and ultimately, worry at hearing that.] Wh..what?

Huh? Did I say something wrong? [ you k-kinda did... ]

You were.. a ghost? [Oh my god she feels like she could just start crying.]

[ She... nods. ]

I drowned in a river and became a ghost.

[That just makes her look so sad.] Oh Menma..

...

But that's okay! I mean, uh, I know I'm alive in here, right? I even thought this place was heaven before someone said it wasn't! [ for once, she felt stupid for even thinking that... even if she arrived here right before she was finally allowed to move on. ]

In a way, it could be a sort of heaven. [She says it gently, still unable to help looking sad.] I'm sorry though, I didn't.. have any idea at all.

That's because I didn't tell you, don't be sorry!

[ Oh no, she made Cheria sad... that almost makes her want to cry. ] I love this place and everyone I met was always nice to me, I wouldn't want to leave this place ever.

I don't want you to leave either. That's not fair, you.. you didn't even get to live out your life!

I know, but it was an accident... things like that happen to people, you know? I can't be sad because of something that's in the past, right?

[After a few long minutes, she's finally nodding in agreement, sighing and really unable to help giving her a sad smile.] Right, it is best to move on..
