An Unexpected Reunion

That day is Sakura's school's sports day. Kids starts a 100 meter dash, when other kids are cheering the sprinters; among them Sakura runs and crosses the goal ahead of the others.
Rita	You blew them away. [Hands a number 1 flag]
Sakura	Thanks, Rita.
Sakura hears clapping of hands, and looks back to see that there's Julian, with Tori holding lunch boxes.
Sakura	Julian!
Julian	You're a really good sprinter, Sakura.
Tori	We usually see this when there's time for dinner.
Getting mad, Sakura steps on Tori's foot hard.
Tori	Ugh! Awwww!
Sakura	Huh? Is that lunch? It's huge!
Julian	I was wondering if we packed enough.
Tori	Dad said that he's gonna come by as soon as he finishes his lecture in the university.
Sakura	He'll be in time for all the fun events.
Sakura	Being an archeology professor means he has to give lectures, go on digs and write tons of research papers. But he's always there when we need him.
Julian	Did you see they're holding a 400 meter dash for parents this afternoon? It'd be great if your dad can make it, wouldn't it?
Sakura	Yeah!
Madison	[On P.A.] With the cheerleading squad, please report to the front entrance. Repeat, cheerleading squad, report to the front entrance.
Sakura	That's Madison's voice!
Julian	Guess you'd better report in.
Sakura	Right!
Beside the P.A. section where Madison makes an announcement, two boys walk by talking about Sakura.
Boy A	Is that fourth grader Sakura, is really fast.
Boy B	I think she's still unbeaten.
Sakura who has changed into cheerleading costume is running to the front entrance, when she comes across Madison.
Madison	Hey, Sakura. Is your dad coming this afternoon?
Sakura	Of course.
Madison	My mom's stuck in the meeting. She said she'll try to be here as soon as it's done.
Sakura	Madison's mom is the president of a cool toy company. Like my dad, she is very busy, too. But she always make sure to make time with Madison.
Boy B	She's a cheerleader, too?
Boy A	Let's check it out.

They have the cheerleader's demonstration, where Sakura is twirling her baton in the center of the line. Sakura toss her baton spinning, flips on another cheerleader to support her. On landing on the ground, Sakura catches her spining baton that falls back to her. Julian is clicking the shutter to take pictures of her performance.
Julian	Sakura's getting really good at that, Tori.
Tori	Hmm, should've seen what she started. To make the team you have to be able to throw the baton and mere catch it. But she keeps droping the thing on the head.
Sakura	Aw!
Tori	See?
Julian	Oh, boy.

Madison	[On P.A.] This morning's final event will be the forth grader's obstacle race. All the participants, please head to the starting line.
Sakura is standing at the starting line, when she hears her friends cheering to her.
Madison	Over here, Sakura!
Girls	Good luck, Sakura! Yay!
Looking aside, Li is still looking front.
Sakura	Huh?
Li	Humph!
Sakura	Wha-uh...
Terada	Runners, on your marks. [Hold up pistol]
Julian	[Among audience] Go for it, Sakura!
Sakura	Huh?
Li	I'm not letting you beat me.
Sakura	That's what you said.
Terada	Get set.
The pistol bangs; the runners starts dashing. Sakura and Li, going ahead of the others, crawl through the ladder, roll a gigantic balls along the track. Some kids, losing control, crash into the audience with their balls.
Meanwhile, Li and Sakura has run though the ballance bar, and crawl under the net to make their way forward. Some kids get stuck in the net, and they can't crawl as nimbly as the two kids did. Sakura and Li, getting through with the net, jump on their feet to run again.
Li	Hunh.
Sakura	Here.
Madison	[Videotaping] All right, it's the last rack of the race. Sakura and Li are neck and neck.
Julian	Come on, Sakura! [Waving hand]
Li gets feet tripped and falls.
Sakura	I did it!

Sakura comes walk to Madison.
Sakura	Madison, isn't your mom here, yet?
Madison	No, but I'm sure she's on the way.
Sakura	Well, why don't you come and have lunch with us?
Madison	I'd love to, but are you sure you guys brought enough food?
Sakura	Don't worry. Julian help Tori pack the picnic.
Madison	Heh, in that case, I'm in.
At this time, Li comes across behind.
Sakura	Huh? Hey, Li. Uh, do you wanna have lunch with us, too?
Li	Huh? Yeah, sure... whatever.
Julian	Hi, Sakura! Hurry up, guys. I'm starving.

Laying a sheet on the ground, Sakura and the others sit atop on it to have lunch.
Sakura	Here! Wanna try some vegie burgs?
Madison	I can't believe your brother and Julian would make all this. Look so good.
A flower petal falls onto the dish.
Madison	What's this? Uh... heh.
Li and Sakura are amazed at Julian who is devouring lunch.
Li	Uh...
Sakura	Whoa...
Julian	Eh? Sorry, I'm practically eating everything.
Sakura	Don't be silly. You ate as much as you want.
Julian	I just never seem to fill myself up. Would you pass me potato chips, please?
Aiden runs to Sakura panting.
Aiden	Hi, sorry I'm late.
Sakura	Hey, Dad!
Aiden	Darn. I missed the cheerleadings' demonstration, didn't I, honey?
Madison	Don't worry. I got it on video.
Julian	And I made sure I took a lot of pictures, too.
Aiden	Thanks a lot, guys. I'm sorry, Sakura.
Sakura	It's OK. I'm just glad you're here now.
Aiden	I made these jellies this morning. Thought you guys might want some sweets after lunch. Who wants one?
All	I do!
Sakura and the others enjoy the jelly Aiden just brought.
Sakura	Dad, do you have any more of these at home?
Aiden	Well, there's another bunch in the fridge.
Sakura	Kero's gonna be crazy when he tries these.
Aiden	[Stands up] I'll go throw out the trash.
Tori	I'll give you a hand.
Julian	Me, too.
Aiden, Tori, and Julian walk out to take the trash out.
Sakura	Li took off before he even got to try the pudding.
Madison	Yeah.
Samantha	Madison.
There stands Samantha Taylor, Madison's mother, with four body guards standing behind.
Madison	Mom!
Sakura	Wow, she's beautiful.
Madison	Sakura, allow me to introduce you. This is my mom...
Samantha	Owph...
Samantha is staring at Sakura speechlessly.
Sakura	Huhh...
Samantha	Oh, I'm sorry. It's so nice to finally meet you. Madisona talks about you all the time, Sakura.
Sakura	It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Taylor.
Samantha	What a pretty girl you are. You look just like the girl I used to know. I just realize that you're Madison's best friend, and I don't even know your last name. Will you tell me, please?
Sakura	Sure... It's...
Aiden	Sakura.
Sakura	Oh, Dad!
Aiden	Oh, Samantha...?

Aiden and Samantha walks to the corner of the yard to have a private chat.
Aiden	Your last name has changed, so I didn't realize you were Madison's mom. You were Smontha King back then.
Samantha	Sakura... I should have realized on hearing her name. Natasha always said that if she had a baby girl some day in her future she'd name her Sakura. Listen up, Avalon. Just because we used to always hang around together since kids, it doesn't mean I will not let you win today. You got that?
Aiden	I wonldn't have any other way. May the best win.
Samantha	Hmm.
Sakura, Tori, and Julian are gazing at them from a distance.
Sakura	So Dad and Madison's mom were best friends of each other when they were kid?
Tori	Hmm.

Madison	[On P.A.] All parents participating the 400 meter dash, please report to the main entrance.
Aiden runs back to his kids.
Aiden	Sorry to hold you up.
Sakura	You're still gonna run on your race for the parents, right, Dad?
Tori	Do you want me to do it?
Aiden	No, that's OK. Samantha and I have it all scored to settle on the track.
Tori	Huh?
Aiden	Which way to the starting line?
Sakura	This way.
Aiden walks to the front entrance with Sakura taking him there.
Julian	So what's the deal with your dad and Mrs. Taylor? And they used to friends or what?
Tori	They weren't exactly friends. More like rivals.
Julian	Really? And they haven't seen one another for a very long time?
Tori	No. My mom had two best friends growing up--My dad and Samantha. They used to do everything together. And Dad and Samantha were always competing never really gotten along. I think there's been a reason they stay friends from my mom's say. Everything changed in high school, my mom and dad fell in love with each other. My dad said Samantha just sort of stopped hanging around with them. The final strolls in their senior year, the two of them both made the finals, and my dad beat out Samantha through only spot for the national championship.
Julian	You know, I never know that your family and Madison's have so much history together. It's such a shame that they didn't all stay friends.
Tori	Uh, yeah, well.
At this time, petals are falling around them.
Tori	Look at all the flowers.

Sakura and Madison are talkiing at the P.A. section.
Madison	Your dad and my mom used to know each other.
Sakura	Oops.
Terada	Runners, do your marks.
Sakura	Look, Madison.
Madison	Uh-oh. Mom?
Among the participants of parents' 400 meter dash, Samantha is standing at the starting line.
Sakura	Did your mom ever mentioned going on the race?
Madison	No.
Sakura	What do you think made her change her mind?
On the starting line...
Samantha	Hey, Avalon, eat my gust.
Aiden	Haha...
Terada	Get set. [Holds up pictol]
As the pistol bangs, the runners starts; Samantha leads the others. But in some seconds, Aiden passes her in an amazing speed.
Samantha	Huph!
Sakura	Wow!
Madison	You must get your speed from him.
Julian	Look him go.
Tori	Did I mention that he won the natinal chanpionship that year?
Meanwhile, uncountable flower petals are falling over the ground.
Rita	Where are all flower petals coming from.
Chelsea	I've never seen so many at once.
Sakura	I'm sensing a Clow Card.
Madison	Hmm?
Kid	Oh, no!
Li is looking at that mysterious thing from inside the building.
Li	It's a Clow Card.
As Li is about to take off, Zachary catches him by the hand.
Zachery	Wait.
Li	Hmm?
Zachery	Li, what's the matter?
Li	Look outside. Something awful's happening.
Zachery	Hmm? That means that we might actually get to treat somebody today. Usually emergency office is so boring.
Li tries to run out of the room, but Zachary jumps at him to keep him in there.
Zachery	Not so fast! You can't leave. You have to stick around with me in the office. In case someone gets hurt and needs our help out here.
Li	Zachary, let me go!
In the playground, falling flowers are being piled up in an amazing rate. However, Samantha is still running to catch up with Aiden still on the race.
Sakura	She's still right.
Madison	My mom really hates to lose.
As the flowers pile up thicker, Samantha shoves them away to make her way.
Samantha	Ugh!
Rita and Chelsea are taking care of the goal tape, but the flower petals have piled up to their shoulders.
Rita	I can't move.
Chelsea	We're getting buried.
Sakura makes up her mind to take care of the happning with her magic.
Sakura	Hmm!
Madison	Are you gonna use your magic here?
Sakura	No one's looking. O Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand. The force ignite! Release! Fly!
Sakura flies up on the staff with Madion behind her.
Sakura	I wonder which Clow Card's behind this.
Madison	I wonder when you can use this to call up a Clow Card expert. [Takes out cell phone]
Sakura	Remind me to thank you later.
Meanwhile, Kero is playing a video game in Sakura's room.
Kero	All right, bastard! One of Kero specials is coming right up! Hyaah, yahh!
However, Kero special doesn't work and he loses the battle.
Kero	Oh, no! You're not supposed to do that.
At this moment, his cell phone rings.
Kero	[Sobbing] What is it? I'm in the middle of a breakdown.
Sakura	Kero, we got a big problem.
Kero	You're right. It's the work of a Clow Card, Sakura.
Sakura	What do we do? There's flower petals covering the school yard.
Kero answers the phone playing a video game.
Kero	All right, first you gotta find where all the flowers are coming from. Can you see?
Sakura and Madison are looking for the source of flower petals around.
Sakura	Oh, over there!
Madison	Huh?
On the roof of the school, there's a ping glow of light. Meanwhile, the race is still going on.
Samantha	Give it up, Avalon. There's no way you're goung to win!
Aiden is running through the petals with a smile.
Rita&Chelsea	Help, somebody! Help!
Chelsea	I can't move.
Julian and Tori takes on the tape for the kids.
Chelsea	Huh?
Julian	You gotta get to a higher place fast. Don't worry, we'll take care of this.
Sakura and Madison land on the roof.
Madison	Hey, look! Sakura.
The flower spirit is dancing on the roof, spreading flowers. The spirit is dancing so elegantly that Sakura is fascinated and distracted from doing anything.
Madison	Sakura.
Sakura	Oh. The Clow Card.
The Flower moves to Sakura and takes her hands.
Kero	So guys, how's going out there?
Madison	Things are getting really weird, Kero. Someone suddenly asked Sakura to dance with her.
Kero	Is that one with her hair curled into two cones?
Madison	Yeah.
Kero	Ah, there's no problem. She just wants to have fun.
Sakura is dancing with the Flower Card.
Sakura	Uhh, what's going on?
Madison	Sakura, if you don't stop the Flower soon the whole place will be buried.
Sakura	OK! I command you to return to your power confined. Clow Card!
The flower spirit turns back into the Flower Card.
Sakura	The Flower Card?
Kero	That's right. The Flower Card is a gentle and fun loving spirit. She likes to appear in party, celebration, and stuff.
Sakura	Why?
Kero	She probably wanted to scatter flowers around right at the place.
Sakura	So what kind of things can this Card do?
Kero	She can create any kind of flower in the world.
Sakura	Hey, that's it?
Kero	Yeah, it's pretty scary to call me, wasn't it?
Sakura	Because we were buried in petals!
Madison	Aaah!
Sakura	What's wrong?
Madison	I forgot to videotape your capture again.
At this time, Aiden crosses the goal.
Julian	Congratulations!
Aiden	Oh, Julian, Tori, thanks.
Samantha is glaring at Aiden with a tired but angry face.

Afterwards, all the students and the audiences are cleaning the mess made by the Flower Card. Tori is sweeping, and Julian is collecting the petals into a bag.
Julian	It's a shame we can't eat flowers.
Tori	I cannot believe we got stuck helping clean all this up.
Meanwhile, Aiden and Samantha are in the backyard.
Aiden	Well, that was an interesting race.
Samantha	I suppose now you're going to rub my face in it. First you won the nationals, then you marry my best friend, and now you're going to be a hero in front of our kids.
Aiden	Natasha really missed you. You meant so much to her.
Samantha	Hunh...
Aiden	And I never could have made it in the nationals without you, you pushed me to be my best.
Samantha	Don't try to make me feel better losing the race, Avalon. It won't work. I hate to lose.
Sakura and Madison are hearing them behind the shrubbery.
Sakura	What are they fighting about now?
Madison	Sakura... [Whispering in ear]
Sakura	Yeah, but...
Madison	Nobody's around.
Sakura	Flower Card, please give them some flowers.
Samantha	I'm the president of my own toy company, you know.
A flower of pink floats down into either of Aiden and Samantha's hand.
Samantha	Natasha's favorite flower. Natasha, she was just like a sister to me. She had the most enchanting smile you'd ever seen. You can never be in a bad mood around her. She was a beautiful soul.
Aiden	You and I both are lucky to have her in our lives.
Samantha	I loved her more than any other friends.
Aiden	And I know she loved you, too, Samantha. [Hand Samantha handkerchief]
Samantha	But... When she married you I didn't think there'd be any room for me in my life any more. I know I was wrong. But she's gone, I won't never be able to tell her that she meant to me.
Aiden	She knew.

Sakura and Madison are walking back in the playground.
Madison	My mom told me all that how close she and your mom was close. I think it's so cool that they were friend so long ago, and 20 years later you and I are best friends.
Sakura	I know. It's like we're destined to be best friends. So we'll be friends forever.
Madison	Definitely.
Sakura	Who knows? Maybe some day my dad and your mom will be able to put their past behind them and be friends, too.
Madison	Never know. You and I can alway be trying to welcome on the bet.
Sakura	Oh, yeah.
Tori	[Calls from distance] Sakura, the closing ceremony's starting.
Sakura	OK! Are you coming, Madison.
Madison	You betcha. Heh.
