An Unexpected Find

On Sunday morning, Sakura opens the window.
Sakura Hey, the sun came out!
Kero Sure it did. There was some storm last night. You're up pretty early for Sunday, aren't you? Huh?
Sakura Yeah! Madison and I are going to the new amusement park today. [Swings Kero around with joy] We've planning it for a whole week! Hey, wanna come with us? You can hide in my back pack!
Kero Whoaa! Whoa-aah!
Sakura You will love the rollercosters.

Sakura walks in to the dining room in a good mood.
Sakura Morning!
Aiden Morning, Sakura. You're up early.
Tori Yeah, it's not even noon, yet.
Sakura Grrr.
I'll let that one go. [Humming]
Aiden So, what's got you in such a good mood this morning?
Sakura Heh heh heh, Madison and I are going to the amusement park.
Aiden But...
Tori Aren't you forgetting something?
Tori shows Sakura the fimily timetable.
Sakura Huh?
Tori You traded chore days with him.
Sakura Ohh...

Aiden brings a pile of landry to Sakura before he gets going.
Aiden Well, here's all the landry.
Do you need a little help?
Sakura You've got you lectures to think about. Don't worry, I can take care of it.
Aiden I'm sorry.
Sakura No problem.
Aiden OK, then, I'll put this over to the washing machine.
Sakura OK.
Tori See you, squirt. [Gets going]
Sakura See you, Tori.
Aiden Well, I'd better be off, too.
Sakura Uh-huh. Have a good day.
Aiden See you later.
After Sakura see her father off, she droops her head.

Sakura is calling Madison for a rain check.
Sakura I'm really sorry. I totally forgot we traded weekends.
Madison It'll take you all day?
Sakura Yeah, I think so.
Madison Don't worry about it, Sakura. We'll just go some other time, OK?
Sakura Thanks. See you at school tomorrow.
Madison Heh. OK, see you.
Hanging up, Madison sighs with depression; in front of her were a linch box and a backpack for the picnic.
Sakura Oh... I guess I'll have to make it up to her.
Times are wasting. Better get starting!

Sakura is washing the dishes.
Sakura Hey, Kero. How's it going?
Kero is putting landry in the washing machine.
Kero Ooh, they go out for the day, and I get stuck doing all the darning work. Humph! [Press the switch]
Sakura cleans every room in her house. When she's cleaning the carpet, she finds a Card underneath it.
Sakura Oh, wow! Wood. This is a Clow Card!
Heh heh heh.
Meanwhile, Kero is looking in the washing mashine.
Kero Hey, what's up? It's stuck.
Sakura Kero, Kero!
Kero Yeah? Aaaah!
Kero staggers into the washing machine, and machine starts to work.
Sakura Kero, look! I found a Clow Card! Kero? Where'd he go?
Oh, well. I guess I'll show him later.
When the washing cycle is over, Kero dizzily crawls out of the mashine.
Kero Oh, I was right over...
Aah! This is not good! The Guardian Beast shouldn't be good at housework.
Sakura Kero, when we're done I'm gonna make you a big sandae!
Kero Oh, then again. For it's a little housework, huh?

Sakura comes down the basement with a vacuum cleaner.
Sakura One room left.
Sakura opens the skylight, and starts vacuuming; Kero is hanging the landry up to dry meanwhile. A Card is sucked on the nozzle on the vacuum cleaner.
Sakura Uh-oh, someone spilt the ink. Oh, another Clow Card. I can't believe it. Two Clow Cards in one day!
I wonder which one it is.
She puts the two Cards on the desk.
Sakura I'm getting pretty good at capturing things.
The phone rings.
Sakura Uh? Phone! I'm coming.
Sakura rushes to the phone.
Sakura Hello.
Aiden Sakura, it's Dad.
Sakura Hi, Dad. What's up?
Aiden Did I leave my blue envelope on the kitchin table?
Sakura Yeah, you did.
Aiden All of my materials for the lecture are in there. Could you bring me to the bus stop for me?
Sakura I'm on my way.
Sakura puts on her rollerblades.
Sakura Kero! I'll be back in a while.
Kero Where did she go?
Meanwhile the Clow Card covered with ink glows and erases the ink itself.

On the other hand, Sakura manages to brings Aiden his material in time, and sees him off on the bus
Sakura Bye, Dad!
Aiden Thanks again, Sakura!

Sakura come back home.
Sakura I'm home!
Sakura sees the landry hung on the bacony to dry.
Sakura Oh!
Sakura runs up stairs to her room.
Sakura Kero?
Kero is taking a nap on Sakura's bed.
Sakura Thanks so much.
Kero Hey... is it time for lunch yet?
Sakura I'll make you anything you want.
Sakura hears something rumbling.
Sakura Kero. Kero, wake up!
Kero Uhh, is it ready yet?
Sakura Did you hear that, Kero?
Kero Hear what?
The house is rumbling and shaking.
Sakura Uh. Ohhh!
Sakura and Kero step out of the room.
Sakura Where's that coming from?
Kero Sounds like downstairs.
Sakura Hmm.
Kero There is nothing to worry about.
Sakura Easy for you to say.
Sakura and Kero gets downstairs, and look into the rooms for what is happenning.
Kero It's in the basement.
Sakura gets her ear closer to the door to hear the basement.
Kero Sounds like it's getting closer.
Sakura Mm-hmm.
Kero Go on.
Sakura half opens the door to look inside.
Kero Hmm, it's too dark to see anything.
A strange tree is growing out of the basement, so Sakura hurriedly shut the door, snapping a branch down on the floor.
Sakura What is that?
Kero Well, it looks like a branch of a tree.
Sakura Since when are there trees in the basement?!
The branch disappers.
Kero Huh? The Wood Card is behind this!
Sakura Wood Card? That reminds me!
Sakura and Kero are pushing the door aginst the growing tree.
Kero Huh? You mean you left the Card there without signing your name on it?
Sakura I'm sorry. I didn't think I have to seal it. It was still in its card form.
Kero It doesn't matter. The Clow Cards will only obey you when they're sealed with your signature, Sakura.
Sakura But it's never left the house. Why is it suddenly acting out now?
Kero Hmm. The Wood Card is usually sincere gentle spirit, too. I've never seen it act this way.
Sakura Can we stop it?
Kero Hmm.
Sakura Kero, don't let go of the door!
The door is pushed open half a foot, then the vines come out and tangle around Sakura's ankle and Kero.
Sakura Uh! Kero, do something! Quick!
Kero I'm a little tied up, in case you haven't noticed?
At this time, the doorbell rings.
Sakura Huh? Someone's at the door.
The bell rings again.
Sakura Ohh...
This is not good.
The bell rings.
Sakura Who could that be?
Kero Good question. We'll know soon.
Sakura Grrr.
Kero, I'm serious. I've got forest in my basement and a stuffed teddy bear talking to me. How am I supposed to explain this?
Kero Now you got me.
The doorbell rings again.
Sakura I'm coming!
Kero Ugh! Why'd you answer it?!
Sakura Huh! I forgot.
What do I do now?
Kero Don't ask me. I don't know. [Puts on teddy bear impression]
Sakura Kero?
Kero Teddy bears can't talk, you know.
Sakura Whoaaa!
The tree thrust with their might, and send Sakura and Kero to the door. Someone at the door opens the door.
Sakura Oh, I just can't look.
Madison Sakura?
Sakura Uh heh heh, Madison!
Madison I thought you could use some help with chores.
Madison gets Kero and Sakura free from the vines.
Kero Aaah.
Madison So, cathing up on your gardening?
Sakura Not exactly, Madison. It's the Wood Card.
Madison Oh.
Kero Sakura, now is the chance to seal it.
Sakura Mm-hmm.
Release! Return to your power confined. Wood Card!
The vines gets shrinks back into the basement.
Madison Hey, you captured it, Sakura.
Sakura Huh?
Madison What? Is something that matters?
Sakura The Card isn't here.
Kero No, no, that's impossible. It mush have fallen here somewhere.
Madison What about the basement?
Sakura Yeah, must be down there.
Kero Alright, kids. Let's get it.
Sakura Yeah.
The house rumbles and shakes again, then the vines are growing out of the basement. Sakura, Madison, and Kero run up the stairs to escape.
Kero Right upstairs!
Sakura.
No sooner had all the kids come out on the balcony, the vines grows out just before their eyes. Actually, the vines are not attcking Sakura, but sticks out the house and suddenly wear plenty of green leaves.
Sakura Hey, I think it's stopped.
Kero You're absolutely right. Maybe it's just wanted some sunlight.
Madison It's the Wood Card, all right.
Kero Aaah! Aaah! My landry!
No, I have to start it over again.
Madison Don't sweat it, partner.
Sakura That's right. We'll help you.
Kero What a mess.
Sakura&Madison Ohh...
Madison So, what are we going to do about this?
Sakura Well, I suppose I have to seal the Card at its source.
Kero I'm coming with you. I've got bombed to pick up this Clow Card.
Sakura Shall we try the basement?
Kero Right on.
The house rumbles again.
Sakura So now what?
Madison It sounds like an earthquake.
Kero No, the house is creaking. The Card's still growing.
Sakura But it was so quiet.
Kero They're exposed to the sunlight now, that means they're growing faster and faster.
Madison It'll destroy the house.
Sakura Oh, no!
Kero Time for a serious gardening, Sakura.

Sakura come out in a pink battle costume made by Madison.
Sakura It's a cute costume. But why do you have it with you, Madison?
Madison is videotaping Sakura.
Madison I made it last night, just in case you found a Clow Card in the amusement park.
Sakura and Kero move their way over the vines to the basement, and Madison follows them with her camcorder.
Kero We're almost there.
Sakura Hah!
Kero This way, girls.
The kids travel from room to room, weaving through the vines.
Sakura Huhh...
Kero Just a little further.
The house shakes violently.
Madison We better hurry.
Sakura walks down the stairs to the basement, when she feel another strange sound.
Sakura What's that sound?
Madison I don't know.
When Sakura gets on the basement, the floor is covered with few-inch-thick of water.
Sakura Hey, it's water.
Kero What? Water doesn't come from the Wood Card.
Sakura It must be from the other Card.
Kero What's that? You mean there's another Card?
Sakura Yeah.
Kero That must be it.
Back inside the basement, there's a tree, the source of the vines, above which a small cloud is pouring rain.
Sakura Huh?
Kero It's the Rain Card.
Madison Rain Card?
Kero That explains why the Wood Card is stronger than usual. It's been fueled by the Rain Card.
Get it, Sakura.
Sakura Right.
Madison OK, camera is rolling.
Sakura Rain, Wood!
This is going far enough!
Madison Looking good.
Kero Hey, Sakura, heads up!
The Rain Card floats just above Sakura, giggles, and starts raining on her.
Sakura Mmm. Hey, you know. This isn't so bad.
The rain gets much stronger, like a waterfall. Sakura runs away from the Rain's attack, then the Rain follows her giggling innocently.
Sakura Aah!
Kero Sakura, it's just toying with you. Seal it right now!
Sakura I'm trying! It's too fast.
Kero Sakura, Cards can control some powers from other Cards. Use the Water Card against it!
Sakura All right! The Water Card!
Water Card, release and dispel!
The released Water Card takes every rain drops in the form of a ribbon.
Sakura It's working!
Water Card, form a sphere around Rain!
Water Card encloses the Rain inside a water ball.
Kero Hey, you got it!
Sakura Return to your power confined! Rain Card!
The Rain is sucked on the tip of the sealing wand, and despite how hard it tried to escape it's finally sealed.
Madison Great capture!
Sakura Thanks, guys. There's one more thing left to take care of.
[Faces the Wood] You're next!
Kero No, hold on!
Sakura Huh?
As soon as Kero smiles at Sakura, all the vines inside Sakura's house glows and starts to shrink. The shrunk vines finally turns into a pretty female genie, who returns to its card form on its own.
Sakura Oh.
Kero See, I told you she is a gentle card.
Sakura Just have to keep an eye on friends that I suppose.
Kero Hey, look at that!
Madison A rainbow.
Sakura It's beautiful.

Sakura is signing her name on the Cards she captured.
Sakura Sa-ku-ra.
Kero Maybe from now on, you remember to make the Cards your own. Huh, Sakura?
Sakura OK, I got the point, Kero.
Kero OK, in that case, I'm going go get some sleep.
Sakura Good night, Kero.
Sorry about all that.
Madison Don't worry. Videotaping this was way more exciting than any rides in the amusement park.
Sakura Yeah, That's true.
Kero [From upstairs] Sakura, come quick!
Sakura&Madison Huh?
Sakura and Madison gets up to the first floor to find all the mess that was made by the vines.
Sakura Huh? Whoa! Huh? No... It's worse than when I started.
Madison So, is there a Cleaning Card?
Kero&Sakura Nah.

Hours later, Tori and Aiden come home.
Tori Hey, squirt, we're home!
They see the house is very clean. When they open the door to Sakura's room, Sakura is sleeping from fatigue.
Aiden Thanks so much for doing the housework. We'll have some cake later on.
Tori Better let the name on it before she gets to it.
Sakura [In sleep] But I did write my name...
