Trouble at Twin Bells

A girls is sleeping in her bedroom. At the midnight, a stuffed panda bear begins hopping, then all of her stuffed animals starts to jump around her room.

In a morning, Sakura, on her way to school, is rollerblading in the park.
Sakura Morning!
Girl A Morning!
Sakura skates up the slope, jump up in the air, and lands perfectly. She goes on her way through the park.
Sakura Hey, guys!
Girls Hi!
There's a new shop named Twin Bells, where Maggie, the owner, is receiving many boxes of goods from the shipping agent.
Agent Thanks, ma'am.
Maggie Thank you for your help.
The agent leaves the shop.
Maggie Well, better get started.
Sakura Wow, looks like there is a new shop.
Maggie Oops! [Drops a box]
Sakura Oh!
Sakura skates to Maggie to help her to pick the toys up.
Maggie Oh, uh, thank you.
Sakura You sure have a lot of really cute stuffed toys now. Heh heh.
Maggie Heh heh.
Sakura Is your store opening today?
Maggie As soon as I get everything unpacked. By the way, my name is Maggie. I'm the owner.
Sakura I'm Sakura Avalon.
Maggie Well, Sakura Avalon, why don't you stop again after school. I should have everthing set up by then.
Sakura OK!
When Maggie takes the topmost box from the pile, the pile collapses.
Maggie Ohh...

After school, Sakura is leaving the school with her friends.
Sakura Guys, there was tons of really great stuffs.
Madison Wow, I can't wait to check it out! Hey, do you think she'll have any of those new camera bags in her store?
Sakura I'm sure she will.
Chelsea Let's go!
Rita Yeah.

When Sakura's gang arrive at the store, the store is still full of boxes unpacked.
Chelsea Are you sure it's opening today, Sakura?
Sakura Yeah, look at the sign.
On the door is the sign that reads “OPEN.”
Madison But, everything's still in boxes.
Maggie is so klutz that she carries a box, trips and falls.
Maggie Ah! Ohh... I did it again.
Kids Oh.
The kids opens the door to come in.
Maggie Come right on in. Oh, you're the girl from this morning.
Sakura Yeah, that's right. I brought my friends. Is everything OK?
Maggie Sure. Sorry there's such a mess.
Sakura Hey, could you uses a little help, Maggie?
Maggie Oh! No, I couldn't ask a customer.
Sakura That's OK. We're dying to see all the new things, aren't we, gang?
Chelsea You bet.
Nikki Oh, sure.
M&R Yeah!
Maggie Well, uh, thank you.
Sakura's gang help Maggie unpack the boxes of toys. Some of them are placing the toys on the shelves, and the others sweeping the floor clean.
When everything are set, Maggie treats the girls to tea and cakes.
Maggie Here we go. Thanks so much, girls, for all of your help. I just moved here recently, I didon't know who to ask. Help yourselves.
Chelsea Oh, thank you.
Girls Thank you.
Maggie You girls really didn't have enough time to look around. But while you were packing all of the boxes, did you happened to see anything you liked?
Sakura Yeah, tons of things!
Chelsea Me, too!
Nikki Chelsea spends every penny of her allowance for stuffed animals.
Chelsea I just can't help, you guys. I love collecting them.
Rita It's true. She has so many on her bed I didn't even know where she sleeps.
At this moment, a box drops from the top of the pile, and a stuffed panda pops out of the box, bouncing to Chelsea. Seeing what is happening, Maggie looks scred.
Chelsea A panda!
Sakura Looks like Chelsea found a new furry friend.

Sakura's gang come to Chelsea's house, where Chelsea put the panda in the middle of her collection.
Madison It's like as so far in here. Don't you think so, Sakura?
Sakura Ah, yeah.
Rita Hey, Chelsea, where's such a gigantic teddy bear you got for your birthday?
Chelsea In the living room. Come on, I'll show you.
All the kids leaves the room. A few seconds later, they hear a sounds back in her room.
Sakura What was that?
Chelsea I'll better check.
Girls Huh?
Chelsea stand astounded in her room.
Sakura Chelsea, what happened? Huh?!
Chelsea I don't know what happened, but my panda's gone.
Sakura Huh?
Nikki Do you think it was a burglar?
Madison If it was, it used this window to escape, but he must have been fast.

Next day, during PE class, Sakura and Madison are talking about the burglar from the day before.
Sakura Poor Chelsea. I hope they'll catch the guy soon.
Madison Yeah, but the burglar didn't leave any clues, not even a fingerprint.
Meanwhile, kids are trying the boxvault in turn.
Madison I was thinking something in this equation just doesn't add up.
Sakura What do you mean by that?
Madison Well, we had just left the room when we heard the noise. How did someone get in, steal the panda and then...
Sakura Get out again so quickly without being noticed? Yeah, I was wondering the same thing myself.
Madison It's odd.
Sakura Well, what else could it be, Madison?
Madison I really don't know. I just hope that whatever it is it doesn't have sign to come back anytime soon.
Mr. Terada Avalon, Avalon, you're up!
Madison Oh, hey, you're up.
Sakura Oh, coming!
Sakura runs to the vault and cleas it in a beautiful form.

Later on that day, Sakura and Madison stop at Twin Bells on their way home.
Maggie Hello, again.
Mr. Terada Hello, there.
Huh?
Maggie What's wrong.
It's that Sakura and Madison find Chelsea's panda is on the shelf.
Sakura That panda! It's Chelsea's.
Maggie Hmm?
Not again. [Scared]
Sakura Again?
Maggie Hmm, the same thing happed at the last shop I owned in another town. It happened over and over. So a rumor started that if you bought a stuffed toy from my store, someone would steal it and bring it back. But the criminal was never found. They accused me of doing it. Oh, maybe I should just close the shop.
S&M No!
Madison You can't Maggie. Everyone knows it wasn't you.
Maggie Maybe I'm just cursed.
S&M Ohh...
Maggie Ooh, this store is my life. Oh, I just don't know what to do.

Sakura is talking to Kero about the mysterious burglar.
Kero A Clow Card that steals stuffed animals? Now why would a Clow Card do that? They don't play with toys, you know.
Sakura We need you to think, Kero. Have they done anything like this before?
Kero No, but they all are predictable.
Sakura If there's a Clow Card behind this I think I'll perhaps help Maggie out. What do you say, Kero?
Kero Well, all right. It's worth a shot.

Madison walks into Twin Bells; Sakura and Kero are watching how she's talking to Maggie.
Madison Uh-ah... Maggie, the tea you made the other day was so delicious. Do you think you could teach me how to make it?
Maggie Of course, Madison.
Maggie takes in back into the house.
Kero OK, now is our chance.
Sakura Remember to be quiet, Kero.
Kero Uh, what are we looking for, again, huh? Panda, girl?
The panda plush jumps off the shelf to hide.
Sakura Mm-hmm. It was here this afternoon, but I don't see him now.
Kero [Toys with a plush cat] Uh, hey, there. Haven't we met before there, Miss Kitty?
Meanwhile Madison has Maggie teacher how to make tea.
Maggie The secret is to let the boiled water cool just a bit.
Madison Oh.
Maggie Well, better get back out there.
Madison Oh, Maggie. Did you know Sri Lanka used to be called Ceylon, That's where the name Ceylon tea comes from?
Maggie Oh, so the Ceylon used was a country name, you say? I wasn't aware of that, Madison.
Madison And, ever heard that milk tea was good for your stomach?
Meanwhile, Sakura and Kero are looking for the panda bear among the stuffed toys in the store. In searching, accidentally Sakura hit a chair in the shin.
Sakura Aww...
Kero Hey, keep it down, so they'll hear us.
I'm sensing a Clow Card, here.
Sakura Huh? Where is it?
Kero Right under us.
Sakura crouches to see under the table; the panda is there. The panda rolls away from the table, then Sakura jumps at it barely when something jumps out of the stuffed toy.
Sakura Ha! I got it!
Kero Uh, no, you don't.
Sakura What do you mean?
Kero The spirit's already switched toys, Sakura.
Meanwhile, Madison is making a effort and keep talking to Maggie not to get back to the store.
Madison Did you know that video editing is all digitized now? You can do everything on a computer. All you have to do is drag and drops scenes. You can do dissolves, renders, effects, add titles and music, all on your desktop. I download all of my DV footages to...
Sakura, if you don't hurry up, I'm going to run out of things to talk about!
... on my mom's website.
Sakura and Kero are still checking the toys.
Kero Oh, no! We've checked every toy here!
Madison keeps on talking to distract Maggie.
Madison It's really an essense to learn anyone can do it. Of course you have to have the proper programs, and an editing suite which can be kind of expensive, and the output is so much shaper. And you don't have to sacrifice quality to be a camera master. My camera is a high definition model. It cost quite a bit more but the resolution is much higher The only problem of a digital output is that anyone can't use the video, unless you use an encryption precess to take the footage.
In the store, Sakura is groping in toy boxes.
Kero I know there's something magical around here.
Sakura Well, it maybe left the store again.
Sakura takes out a pink plush out of the box.
Kero Oh, that's it! That's the Jump Card!
The Jump Card rolls its eyes, the all the stuffed toys in the store fly to and fro.
Madison The new DV cameras aren't even able to... uh?
Maggie Did you hear something? [Walks back in the store]
Madison Maggie, wait.
Maggie sees her stuffed toys going on a rampage.
Madison Maggie, no!
Sakura Huh? Uhh! Stop!
Jump Card slips out of Sakura's hand, crashes into the window, and gets out in the street. A bunch of stuffed toys follow it. Seeing the extraordinary secene, Maggie passes out.
Madison Maggie, oh.
Sakura Madison, stay with Maggie.
Kero I'll go with you.
Sakura runs after the Jump Card that is making a run with the stuffed toys. Sakura jumps at the Card, but it jumps out of her vision.
Sakura Kero, where did it go?
Kero There!
Sakura Huh?
The stuffed toys are coalesces above Sakura and Kero, when the Jump Card lands in front of them.
Kero You're not getting away!
Duhh! [Crushed under a huge toy]
Sakura gets up on her feet and follows the Jump.
Sakura Stop right there!
Sakura jumps at the Card and seize it, however it jumps all its might to take her way too high in the night sky. The Card jumps off Sakura's head, leaving her a thousand feet up in the air, and then she starts falling with her head down.
Sakura O Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light. Surrender the wand, the force ignite! Release!
Fly!
While falling, Sakura calls out the Fly Card and looks for the Jump Card from up the sky, then she can find it descending into the park.
Sakura There you are.
Descending through the woods, Sakura lands in the middle of the park following the Jump.
Sakura Return to the power con-
Jamp Card escapes.
Sakura Hey! Come back! Huh?
The Card Jump around the penguin slide too fast for Sakura to catch up.
Sakura Wood Card, form a cage with branches to trap Jump. Release and dispel!
The wood grows as if sorrounding the Jump Card, and its growing speed passes the Jump going up in the air. Finally the Jump Card is trapped inside the cage of wood.
Sakura It's working.
Besides, Kero gets out of the big plush doll that has been pressing him down.
Kero Uh-aw... I need a vacation. Unh?
All the stuffed toys are gathering into the park where the Jump Card is trapped.
Kero Now what?
Sakura hears someone in the shrubbery behind her.
Sakura Huh?
Madison Sakura, have you sealed the Card, yet?
Sakura No, I was about to.
Madison I was afraid I missed it.
Sakura How is Maggie?
Madison She's fine.
Sakura hears the noise coming from the wood cage, when Jump Card breaks it and jumps out in the air. All the stuffed toys coalesce to the Jump Card.
Madison What's that?
Kero What's going on here?
Sakura I don't know.
Combined with bunch of stuffed toys, the Jump Card turns into like a gigantic monster.
Madison Huh!
Kero Aw, oh, big!
The Jump Card roars.
Kero Sounds like a battle horn boobing?
The gigantic Jump Card starts to walk with thudding noise, and the kids make a run.
Sakura Gaining on us! Keep running!
Kero Split up!
Madison It's right!
Sakura OK!
Madison runs in under the tree, and Sakura in the penguin slide. The Jump Card strides after Sakura. Losing where to turn, Sakura doesn't know better than standing and facing the Jump Card roaring. Jump Card lifts its foot to stomp on Sakura.
Madison Sakura!
Strangely, the Jump Card gets unballanced and fell all itself, the gigantic body are disconnected into a number of stuffed toys. The Jump Card is stunned in the middle of the toys.
Sakura Huh?
Kero It's stunned. Quick! Seal it!
Sakura Right.
Return to your power confined. Jump Card!
The spirit sucked to the tip of the wand, and turns into its card form.
Kero That was a great job, Sakura.
Sakura That was easy, Kero.
Kero The Jump is a real fighter, but is not the smartest Card in the book.
Madison Now, for the hard part.
Sakura What do you mean?
Madison Well, it's just that three of us have to take these toys back to Maggie's shop.
Sakura Aw.
Kero Ugh!

Next day, Maggie's shop is full of customers.
Maggie A new friend for the panda?
Chelsea Yeah, now it won't get lonely anymore. You know, that pnmda sure was strange. I can't believe it came back to me.
Maggie I guess it's finally found a home it likes.
Madison I don't think she knows about the Jump Card. It seems everything worked out just great.
Sakura Yeah, Madison You even learned how to make delicious tea, didn't you?
Madison Heh heh.
Sakura See Kero, I was right. I knew there was a Card that played with stuffed animal.
Kero You know, Sakura, the Jump Card did kind of look like a stuff animal. Maybe it just needed a friend.
Sakura trips over the foot of the book rack, knock it down.
Sakura Aw!
Maggie Sakura, what happened?
Sakura Oh, I'm so sorry.
Kero I kind of think as though your thing is catching.
