Kero: (You've woken up.) Wuz up? Had a bad dream or somethin'?
Sakura: (I don't know.) I can't remember my dreams one of these days.... It felt like an important dream, somehow...Can it be possible that me not being able to remember my dreams is releated to the cards changing into new cards?
Kero: ...that's possible. But nothin' happened since that strange rain incident, right! It will be harder on Sakura if she keeps worryin' without even knowing who her opponent is. What is Sakura gonna do if somethin' happens and she feels all depressed?
Sakura: Is....is that so..
Kero: Of course! You just charge forward no matter what kinda thin's happens! All right! Come back from school all cheerful today too, okay!
Sakura: Okay!
Kero: ...Clow had definately died. Yue and myself had watched him die.... Clow...
Sakura: It's unbelievably tasty! Rika-chan, this is too delicious!
Rika: (It's a relief that if pleased you.) It somehow looks like Sakura-chan isn't that cheerful one of these days, so...I can be mistaken, of couse, but...
Sakura: (No, it isn't something like that.) Thank you, Rika-chan! (Naoko: It's really good.)(Chiharu: Rika-chan is good a everything, after all.) (Tomoyo: True.)
Rika: (I'm sorry, but) May I continue to make the doll I've been working on?
Sakura: Wow-- it's so cute! Did Rika-chan made this? (It's great!)
Rika: (It's easy to make if you follow the book) Yes.
Chiharu: I guess it's finished as soon as you add arms to it now.
Rika: Yes. It's a relief....that I can present it to that person within today.....
Sakura: (Hoe?) I think she's going to give it to the person she likes. Are you finished?!
Rika: Just about.
Sakura: So cuuuuute--!
Tomoyo: Do you konw when is the birthday of a stuffed animal?
Sakura: When you finished making it?
Tomoyo: (Yes) That will be good, too, but. In most cases you do not know when the dolls they selll in stores are finished, so its brithday is when you "first give a name to the stuffed animal and give it a ribbon".
Sakura: ...that's really cool, somehow. (Chiharu: Yeah.) (Naoko: Really.)
Tomoyo: Right. And in foreign contries, there is a legend that "when you present one you like with a hand-made stuffed animal that you've named after yourself, the two people's love will be eternal".
Sakura: Two people's love... <She imagines Yukito and starts blushing>
Rika: Forever...(Imagines Terada>
Naoko: Sakura and Rika's faces became all red.... (Do you guys have a fever?)
Sakrua: N, no.
Rika: It's nothing.
<Shaoran is watching and listening to the girls from a tree top>
Shaoran: Two person's love.... <Sees Sakura laughing with the girls, blushes. He shakes his head>
Eriol: Stuffed animal's birthday? The girls are so adorable. ...you always make an expression of anger. Did I do something to make you feel displeased?
Sharaon: ...no. <glare>
Eriol: I heard you came from Hong Kong.
Shaoran: yeah.
Eriol: I've just came here, so will you pelase teach me things around here well?
<Shaoran suspiciously glares at Eriol. Eriol smiles back. His expression suddenly turns evil...>
Eriol: Li Shaoran. <Shaoran looks startled; he falls off the tree. He collapses into Eriol's arms. Eriol looks concerned.> ....are you all right? <Are you anemic or something?>
Shaoran: <It's nothing!> <Shaoran starts to run away, but stops and turns, blushing.> Th...thank you. <He runs off.>
Erio: What an amusing child....but he may be in my way to obtain what I desire.
Rika: Sakura-chan. I'm sorry that I can't go with you to the sewing supply store today.
Sakura: No, it's all right. Tomoyo will go togehter with me, so. (But if I don't get something, please teach me.)
Rika: (Of course!) Then I"ll see you tomorrow!
Sakura: Okay, see you tomorrow.
Tomoyo: Take care of yourself.
But I wonder who is the one that Rika-chan likes? When will Rika tell me? Rika had helped me in many ways (in home economic classes) so I wish there is something I can do for her, too.
Tomoyo: (Then) Shall we go?
Sakura: Sure.
Eriol: Are you going to the handcraft store?
Sakura: Eriol-kun!
Eriol: Would you mind if I follow along? (I need strings, too, but I don't know where the stores are located in yet, so.)
Sakura: I'd like that.
Shaoran: I'M GONNA GO TOO!
Rika: I'm sorry for being late!
Terada: No, that's all right. I'm sorry. I couldn't meet you at all today because there was a teachters' meeting today.
Rika: That's all right. This...
Terada: Did you make it?
Rika: Um...I heard the day you give a ribbon to a stuffed animal is its birthday.
Terada: (Is that so?) Then this bear's birthday will be today.
Rika: Um...the name...
Terada: How about "Rika" after Rika? (I'll preciously regard it.) <Rika happily smiles>
Tomoyo: (That's the bakery. That's the stationary store.)
Sakura: (What's wrong?) (One of these days) Is it because you feel something strange?
Shaoran: (I'ts nothing.) No, I don't have that strong sensation one of these days. I....if something comes up, don't just strggle by yourself; call me. You look like you're in trouble one of these days, so....<He blushes>
Sakura: Okay! <They arrive at the store.>
Sakuar: Here it is! (It's a relief that my allowance can afford this.) How bout Tomoyo? (Are n't you going to buy a bear?)
Tomoyo: I...always want to stay near and watch the person I love if the one I truly love can be happier than being together with me.
Sakura: ....then do you mean it's okay even if the person whom you love doesn't love you?
Tomoyo: Of course, if the person loves me, I'll be really happy. But the thing that makes me the happiest is that the person I love becoming as happy as the person can be.
Sakura: ...the person who's being loved by Tomoyo-chan will surely be really really happy.
Eriol: Did you purchase everything you need?
Sakura: Yeah! How about Eriol-kun? <He shows her threads> What are you trying to sew?
Eriol: Strings can be used in other applications, too.
Sakuar: Like what? (Hoe?)
Shaoran: <steps betweent them> LET'S GO HOME!
Kreo: Will it work our well? (Making a stuffed animal.)
Sakura: I think it'll be hard.
Kero: ...are you sure this is a bear? (Ain't you just wasting yer time?)
Sakuar: (Hoe--it looks like Kero-chan, somehow--)
Kero: WHATCHA SAY--!
<The doorbell rings>
Sakura: Yes--! Yukito-san!
Yukito: (Hi) Touya had left this at school. We have a test tomorrow. <Hands her English dictionary>
Sakuar: Ah, I'll give it to him. (Oniichan didn't return from part time job yet.) ...yes....Eriol not only looks like father, but also Yukito-san.... <She feels something glowing> (All of a sudden?!) Y....YUE?! <Sakura is making tea while Yue and Kero talk>
Yue: ...if I keep this up, I will not be able to return to my original form.
Kero: To Yue, Sakura's magic is not enough....
Yue: "Yukito" is unconsciouly eating awy more than normal, but it's still hard to maintain this..the new mistress already has more than enough just handling the new cards.
Kero: I can eat food, so if I lack magic supply, I can just replenish myself. My symbol is the "Sun", one that sheds light by itself, after all. But "Moon" reflects another's light to shine. There is no choice but to base your strength on someone else's magic....so that's why that sorceress had the moon bell that contained the power of "Moon" within! To be helpful to the new mistres....Clow knew that with only Sakura's magic, we...especially Yue...can not maintain our true form. ....Do you think the incident that had recently occurred is alos by Clow?
Yue: I don't know. But taht was definately Clow's aura.
Kero: It will be increasingly dangerous if we continue to live with our disguised forms! But if Sakura can not handle it...
Yue: There is someone suitable.....but "Yukito" is...
Sakura: I've finished making the red tea...(Yue will really not drink any?)
Yue: ......I'll return to being Yukito.
Sakura: What?! Huuh?? (Kero: All of a sudden?!)
Yukito: Huh? Wasn't I at the front entrance? (Sakura: Hoeee!)
<Sakura is washing the dishes> Sakura: Whew-- it was really hard to make up excuses.
Kero: (To be tricked by Sakura....he must be SUPER stupid.)
Sakura(she advances manacingly at Kero with rubber gloves in her hands): What did you say! <She suddenly stops>
Kero: This power is!
Sakura: ....Clow...?!
<Sakura and Shaoran stand back to back in Penguin Park> Sakura: After all....I can sense Clow's power.
Shaoran: But...Clow Reed is... <He suddenly feels his hand being jerked up> Huh?! <He swings his sword at Sakura, narrowly missing her.>
Sakura: Shaoran?! What's wrong?! <Shaoran attacks her with his sword>
Shaoran: My body....! It's dangerous!! <Sakura's cloth gets partially ripped in the chest area>
Kero: Little kid is gettin' controlled by somethin'!
Tomoyo: What shall we do?
Kero: There must be an object that is being used to control the small brat! We have to figure that out!
Sakura: But I don't see anything!
Shaoran: Damn....I cause to create, Water Dragon!
Sakura: Threads?!
Shaoran: Cut these strings!!
Sakura: Release!! <The key stays as it is...>
Kero: The key wouldn't reveal its true self?!
Sakura: If this continues on, Shaoran will be....! What should I do?!
<She remembers what someone had once told her.... That magic wand has new power that dwellth within. Neither that of the Sun nor the Moon, but that of your own guardian star...>
Sakura: O key in which the power of *star* dwellth within! Show thy real self in front of myself, as Sakura commands as the convenant has given her the right to! Release!! Come forth, sword! <She releases the sword; she cuts through the threads> Shaoran! <She runs to him and holds him up>
Shaoran: ....I'm okay.
Sakura: Thank goodness.... <Sakura looks at the card.> ...the card had changed again......<She looks tired, then faints out. She collapses...once again...in Shaoran's arms.>
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan?!
Shaoran: Huh? Oi!
<Someone is standing on top of a buidling, darkly lit by a crescent Moon. Strings are loosely flying everywhere around the person.>
Eriol: ....strings are also used in this way. ....Kinomoto Sakura. <he smiles a cold smile...Sakura is helplessly sleeping in Shaoran's arms.....>
