Oh...you aren't a boy...

I am so happy to meet you! We were late, and I was getting really worried.

I'm sorry, I was late as well. Here is my wagon.

I've never had a family of my own.

I can't tell you how delighted I am to come live with you!

We are nearly there. The house is right..

Oh, wait...let me guess! Is it that one, over there?

How did you know, has someone told you about it?

No...I just sensed that this was my new home! It isn't a dream after all!

Matthew was very confused. He had wanted to adopt a boy, and had been sent Anne instead.

Now that she was here and seemed so happy, he didn't have the heart to send her back.

What's going on, Matthew? Where is the boy?

There was no boy...just this girl waiting at the station.

How could this be?

Oh...I knew it was too good to be true. You didn't want me at all...didn't you?

Oh, stop your whining child. No use crying over spilled milk.

We asked the orphanage for a boy, but you will do just fine if you promise to be good.

Green Gables became Anne's new home, and she had a family at last.

Good morning Anne. Did you sleep well?

I did, thank you.

I am going over to visit Diana's family, would you like to come too?

I would love to! May I?

Oh, come in. Mother will be glad to see you.

You are looking well today, Diana. Meet Anne. Say hello to each other.

Nice to meet you.

Diana! You can go out and show Anne around the garden.

Anne and Diana got along splendidly and soon became friends.

Anne was delighted to have a friend to share secrets and adventure with.

Anne and Diana went to the same school.

Watch out, he is very clever but he is the most horrid tease.

Red carrot head! Carrot head! / Leave me alone!

Anne! This is unacceptable behavior! / I'm sorry.

It was my fault, I provoked her by teasing her.

Anne, you will go stand by the blackboard until the end of the day!

We are done. Class dismissed!

Anne, I didn't mean to get you in trouble...I'm really sorry.

Indignant and implacable, Anne refused to accept his apologies.

Why don't we play Princess Ellen?

Ooh, I want to be Princess Ellen!

Let us begin!

The Princess is dead!

Now we must kiss Princess Ellen's pale forehead,

and whisper "Goodbye, my love" and then push the boat out to sea.

Hmm.... Good bye, my love.

What!? The boat is leaking! Now what...

Somebody...help me! Help! Help me!

Anne! Anne, I'm coming! Here, take my hand. / Okay...

What was that?

We were playing Princess Ellen, but my boat began to leak, and I almost drowned!

Well, thank you for saving me.

Anne! I just...wanted to apologize for calling you Carrot Head before. Please forgive me.

I refuse to accept your apologies!

Although Anne's heart fluttered when he apologized to her, she did not want to let him see it,

even if that meant being unkind to him.

Anne...we were afraid you had drowned! I am so glad you are safe. What happened?

I was able to grab hold of the pier,

and Gilbert came over in his father's boat and rescued me.

He did, did he? So, are you friends now?

Never! I am sorry I damaged your father's boat.

It's alright. We should be more careful in the future...

I'm home. / Oh Anne, have you heard?

The school is organizing special classes for students who want to apply to Queen's Academy.

Would you like to study there and become a teacher?

Oh, Marilla...that's my dream... but what about the money?

Marilla promised to help Anne and pay for her schooling.

Anne began to prepare for her application right away.

She took the entrance exam, hoping to be admitted for the Winter Semester.

Oh Anne, you are in 1st place! It's a tie between you and Gilbert!

Oh, how wonderful! Can this be possible!? I am so happy!

Matthew, I have been accepted...in 1st place!

Congratulations Anne! I always knew you could do it!

Anne bid her family goodbye and boarded the train headed for Queen's Academy.

Write to me every day, Diana! Marilla, I will call as soon as I arrive!

Take care of yourself, Matthew! / Anne, take care...

See you soon. / Good-bye, everyone...

Anne was excited at freshman orientation, but she was lonely as well,

because there was no one she knew there except Gilbert.

The green roof of the dormitory made her think of Green Gables,

and she wanted to cry because she missed her family.

The student who achieves 1st place will win a gold medal and will be eligible for the Avery Scholarships.

Scholarships? Oh if only I could win...

Excellent work, Anne. You have won an Avery Scholarship!

Have I really! That's amazing! Oh...Gilbert won a gold medal too!

Time sped by, and Anne graduated from the program with excellent grades.

Marilla and Matthew were very proud of her and were glad to have her back home with then.

Anne was finally able to enjoy a few days of peace and quiet. Then, tragedy struck.

Matthew! Matthew! What is it? Wake up!

Hurry, Anne! Call the doctor! / Of course!

How is he? / I am so sorry...but he is gone.

Oh no...His heart problems have been getting worse ever since our bank crashed

and we lost all of our money! What will we do now?

Poor Matthew

He called me his daughter yesterday. He said he was proud of me...

He is at peace now, Anne.

Have you heard, Anne? Gilbert has become a teacher.

Yes, I know.

He has grown into such a fine young man. He is so much like his father at his age.

Oh, did you know his father well?

We were...quite close. We got into a bad argument once, and I never accepted his apologies.

I still regret rejecting him back then...

Anne remembered her behavior to Gilbert that day by the lake,

and she realized she regretted it too. One day, they met again...

Gilbert!

Anne! How splendid to see you! I have wanted to say something to you for a while...

What is it? Tell me.

Have you still not forgiven me for how I treated you all those years ago?

I already forgave you that day at the lake. I'm sorry too.

Really? I hope we can become good friends and see much more of each other.

I hope so too.

Anne and Gilbert became very close friends and lived happily ever after.
