| On Saturday, Sakura is on a bus sitting at the rearmost seat. She’s heading for Madison’s. | |
| Sakura | I can’t wait to get to Madison’s house. |
| Sakura thinks back of when Madison asked Sakura to come over to her house. It was in PE class. | |
| Sakura | Huh? A little problem? |
| Madison | Yeah, I really can’t explain it right now. But something strange is going on, and I need you to come over to check it out. You drop by on Saturday? |
| Sakura | Oh, that sounds great! I’ve never even seen your place before. Can I bring Kero, too? |
| Madison | You bet. Tell him I’ll make his favorite cake. |
| Back in the present scene. | |
| Sakura | I wonder what Madison’s problem is. |
| Kero | Mmgh... Ughh... [Pops out of bag] I can’t breathe! |
| Sakura | Oh! [Pushing Kero inside] |
| The passangers on the bus are looking at Sakura. | |
| Sakura |
Uh... Ah... Sorry about that.
It’s nothing... heh heh... Just one of my toys. Hmm. You can’t do that. |
| Kero | [Pokes out of bag] No, it’s so hard to breathe in here. |
| Sakura | You’ll be in Madison’s house soon. |
| Kero | Yeah, we better be. |
| Sakura | Just be patient, OK, Kero? Remember Madion’s making your favorite cake. |
| Kero | Cake... |
| Passengers hearing Sakura talk look puzzled one another. | |
| Getting off the bus, Sakura takes out a map that Madison drew, and begin walking to look for Madison’s house. | |
| Sakura | That’s weird. It should be right around here somewhere. |
| Kero |
Unh, you can’t find Madison’s house? Huhh. [Floats up to Sakura] Here, let me see. Mmm, I wonder where it could be. |
| Sakura | Madison said she lived very close to the bus stop. |
| Kero float upward to look around from a height. | |
| Sakura | Oh, come back here, Kero. |
| Kero | Don’t worry. Nobody’s around. |
| Kero looks around. | |
| Kero | Uh, dahhh! |
| Sakura | What is it? |
| Kero | I found Madison’s house. |
| Sakura | Oh, great. Where? |
| Kero lifts Sakura up above the fence biting her collar. | |
| Sakura | Ah, what do you think you’re doiing, Kero? |
| Kero | Take a look! |
| Sakura | What? |
| Just before her eyes below is a huge mansion, that means it’s Madison’s house. | |
| Sakura | OK! Put me down right now! |
| Sakura turns on the door bell. | |
| Intercom | Yes, who is it? |
| Sakura | Sakura Avalon. |
| Intercom | Please come in. I’ll open the gate. |
| The gate opens automaticall that amazed Sakura. | |
| Sakura | Wow. |
| The path toward the porch is a big garden, that has a fountain in the middle. Sakura can’t help looking all over with amazement. | |
| Sakura | Amazing. |
| Madison comes out on the porch. | |
| Madison | Huff, Sakura! |
| Sakura | Hi, Madison. |
| Madison | Where’s Kero? |
| Kero | [Pokes out of bag] I’m right here. |
| Madison |
Hello, there, Kero. Well, come on in. OK? |
| Madison takes Sakura in the house by the hand. | |
| Sakura | Wow! |
| Kero | Madison, your house is huge. |
| Housekeeper | Miss Taylor. |
| Kero | Aaah! [Hides in bag] |
| Sakura | Miss Taylor? |
| Housekeeper | Would you like some tea served in your room? |
| Madison | Yes, could you make it out for three? |
| Housekeeper | Hmm? You mean tea for three? |
| Madison |
Uh-huh. Come on, Sakura. |
| Sakura sweatdrops, but Madison takes her to her room. The housekeeper looks puzzule. | |
| Housekeeper | For three... |
| Madison let Sakura in her room. | |
| Sakura |
Wow! Your room’s incredible! [Trots to window] What a great view! |
| Kero | This is the biggest bedroom ever, Madison. |
| Madison walks to one side of the room where there’s a green partition. She picks up a remote controller. | |
| Kero | Is this part in your room, too? |
| Madison | Yes. |
| Sakura | What’s behind the partition? |
| Madison pushing a button, the partition contacts let the inside can been seen. It was a personal theater. | |
| Sakura | Oh. |
| Madison pushes the play button, then what is played on the screen is Sakura in a cat costume heading to capture the Thunder Card. | |
| Sakura on VCR | Fly! |
| Sakura | Uhhh. [Colapses] |
| Madison |
Hold on. Wait until you see the next one, Sakura. Remember the day you and Li captured the Thunder Card? I thought that this is one of my best costumes. |
| Kero | Oh, yeah. I remember that capture. |
| Out of the personal theater, Sakura finds a new battle costume son the table. | |
| Sakura | Madison, is this costume for me? |
| Madison | Yes. I finished it yesterday. What do you think? |
| Kero | Hey, it’s really kind of cool looking, Sakura. |
| Sakura | Oh, no, Madison. You’ve done so much to me already. You keep it. |
| Madison | But I made this costume just for you. |
| Sakura |
Heh heh heh heh. [Nervously] Madison, the other day, you said you had a problem? |
| Madison | Well... |
| There’s knock on the door. | |
| Kero | Oops. Gotta go. [Hides inside toolbox] |
| Madison | Come in. |
| Who flings the door open is Samantha, who is out of breath. | |
| Samantha | Huff, huff... |
| Madison | Hi, Mom. You’re back early. |
| Sakura | Hello, Ms. Taylor. |
| Samantha | Hello, Sakura. |
| Sakura | Thanks for having me. |
| Samantha | I hope you didn’t have any trouble finding our house. It can be a little hard to find. |
| Sakura | No. |
| Samantha | Why don’t we have a tea outside? I bought some cake at a store this morning. |
| Sakura | OK. |
| Kero | [Looking from inside toolbox] Oh, cake. |
| Samantha takes the two girls out the room, when a housekeeper brings tea for three. | |
| Samantha |
Let’s go. Would you please bring the tea and cake to the garden. |
| Housekeeper | Yes. |
| When everybody has got out and the door is closed, Kero jumps out of the box. | |
| Kero |
Oh, cake! What about me? What about me? Oh, uh... Hmm... I sense something. |
| Sakura, Madison, and Samantha are at the table that is set in the garden by the pond. Samantha is cutting cake into pieces for the kids. | |
| Madison | That cake looks great, Mom. |
| Samantha | It’s from that bakery down the steet. Do you like strawberries? |
| Sakura | Yes. |
| Samantha | Good. [Giving Sakura a piece] Your mother loved strawberries, too. She would eat everything with strawberries, espacially cakes. Her biggest weakness of all was strawberry short cake. |
| Madison | Sounds like a little friend inside. |
| Sakura | Heh heh heh. |
| Samantha | Well, let’s dig in. |
| Sakura | Thank you. Yamm, yamm. |
| Madison | This is great, Mom. |
| Sakura | Wow! |
| Samantha | So? |
| Sakura | This cake’s the best! |
| Samantha | Heh. |
| Sakura | Yamm yamm. |
| When she eat up the piece of cake, Sakura finds Samantha looking at her as if being fascinated. | |
| Sakura | Huh? |
| Samantha | You sure look like your mother, Sakura. |
| Sakura | Really? I do? |
| Samantha | Oh, yes. Your mother was quite beautiful and kind. |
| Samantha imagine back of Natasha smiling at her. | |
| Natasha | Samantha. |
| Madison | Mom, what’s the matter? |
| Samantha |
Oh, I just remember something.
It’s nothing, really. [Sips tea] Now, Sakura. You’re a cheerleader? |
| Sakura | That’s right. |
| Samantha | I also hear that you’re very good at sports. |
| Sakura | Yes. |
| Samantha | Then I suppose you’re really athletic. |
| Sakura | I’m OK, I guess. |
| Samantha | Well, you got your looks from your mother, and definitely got your athletics skills from your father. Nathash wasn’t the most coordinated person. |
| In their high school days, Samantha and Natasha are walking home together. | |
| Natasha | So then what happened? |
| Samantha | Well, then he asked me the phone number, and I told him... |
| Natasha trips and falls with a thud. | |
| Samantha |
Huh? Where, Natasha? [Runs to where Natasha lies] Natasha! |
| Natasha | I’m OK, really. |
| When they’re skiing, Natasha losing control are sliding straight down the hill. | |
| Natasha | Ohh! Aaah! |
| Natasha crashes into a tree, and the snow shook off from branches falls and buries her. | |
| Natasha | I’m OK, really. Heh heh heh heh. |
| In PE class, on a whisle, Natasha runs to try the box vault, but a crashing sound echoes, when the classmates avert their looks. | |
| Natasha | I’m OK, really. |
| Natasha is up on a branch of a tree, when she tries to save a baby bird back to its nest. Samantha is warning her from the ground. | |
| Samantha | Natasha, get down from there right now! |
| Natasha | I’m almost there. I’ll be right down. |
| Samantha | Be careful up there, Natasha. |
| Natasha makes her way up on the branch and extends her arm for the nest. | |
| Natasha | Almost there. |
| Successfully returning the bird in the nest; she smiles. | |
| Natasha | Good. Home again. |
| Then the branch breaks with Natasha on it. | |
| Natasha | Ugh! |
| Samantha | Natasha! |
| Natasha | Aaaaaahhh! |
| Natasha falls down with her legs down, and it ends with a thud. Natasha finds herself on a man, who happens to be Aiden. | |
| Aiden | Are you OK? |
| Natasha | Oh, yes. I’m sorry about that. |
| With a surprise, Natasha jumps on her feet and takes Aiden’s hand to help him get up. | |
| Aiden | It’s lucky for you that I was here to brake you fall. My name is Aiden. |
| Natasha fell in love at the sight. | |
| Sakura | And now that’s the first time parents met each other, right? |
| Samantha | That’s right. |
| Sakura | Well, maybe it was a good thing that my mom was such a klutz. |
| Samantha | Why? |
| Sakura | If my mom hadn’t climbed up that tree to save the bird, then fallen off and landed on my father, they may not have ever met. I have a very good friend that tells me “Expect the unexpected.” You never know what’s around the corner. Wouldn’t you agree? |
| Samantha | Yes, I think you’re all right. I have to admit, Sakura. I do miss your mother very much. It’s definitely not the same without her here. Even without her accident, prone or habits, she was truly a kind and giving person. And I have a very good feeling that you will grow up to be just like her, too. |
| Sakura | Heh heh heh. |
| Samantha | Would you like some more tea? |
| Sakura | Yes. |
| Samantha | You want some more strawberry cake, too? |
| At this time, a housekeeper comes up with a codeless phone. | |
| Housekeeper | Urgent call from the office. |
| Samantha |
Mmm, uh, not today. [Picks up phone] Ms. Taylor, here. Yes. Yes. Oh? Ooh, well, then, just wait for me. Good-bye. [Hangs up] I’m sorry, I’ll have to go to the office, now. |
| Madison | We’ll go back up to my room, then. |
| Samantha | I’ll be home for dinner. |
| Sakura | Thank you for the tea and cake. |
| Madison and Sakura stands up, when Madison takes a piece of cake on a plate. | |
| Madison | Let’s go. |
| Sakura | Mmm-Hmm. |
| Sakura and Madion are walking in the hall back to Madison’s room. | |
| Sakura | Your mom is very nice. |
| Madison | Thanks. I hope Kero likes this surprise we brought for him. |
| The moment Madison opens the door, Kero comes fly. | |
| Kero | Cake! |
| Sakura | Unh! |
| Kero | This is so unfair. I have to watch you eat that delicious cake while I was stuck up here! You really enjoyed the cake, didn’t you. |
| Sakura | I’m sorry, Kero. |
| Kero | You’re gonna make this up to me, aren’t you, Sakura? |
| Madison |
Looking for this, Kero? [Showing cake to Kero] Saved the last piece for you. |
| Kero |
What? I can get cake, my cake! |
| Sakura | Thank you. |
| Madison | He sure has a thing for cake. |
| Kero is enjoying the cake. | |
| Kero | Good. I was getting bored up here by myself. Oh, yeah, I think I sensed a Clow Card, too. |
| Sakura | A Clow Card? |
| Madison | That’s the reason why I brought you both over here. |
| Sakura | What? |
| Madison shows a jewelry box to Sakura and Kero. | |
| Madison | It all started when my mon tried to open her jewelry box. |
| Sakura | And? |
| Madison | It seems like I’m not able to open this box any more. |
| Sakura | Have you lost the key? |
| Madison | No, it’s right here. |
| Sakura | You used the key but it won’t open? |
| Kero | It has to be a Clow Card! |
| Sakura | Oh. |
| Kero | It’s very faint, but I can sense the Clow Card coming from the box. |
| The presence of the Card can be seen by Sakura. | |
| Sakura | Yeah, you’re right. |
| Madison | Watch this. |
| When Madison put the key into the keyhole, it’s sprung against into air. | |
| Sakura | Aah! |
| Madison | Now can you see why I asked you to come over? |
| Kero | This is definitely the work of a Clow Card. |
| Madison |
I can’t believe there is one in my house. I asked my mom if it would be alright if I keep this jewelry box in my room. I told my mom I’d give it a try. She said if we can’t open it she’ll have to take it to the locksmith on Monday. But the Clow Card... |
| Sakura | Don’t worry, Madison. We’ll capture this Card before she gets home from the office. |
| Sakura and Kero are staring at the jewelry box to figure out how to capture the Card. | |
| Kero | Mmm. |
| Sakura | Hmm. |
| Kero | Which Clow Card do you think will stop you from opening this box? |
| Sakura |
It doesn’t even look like a special box. Mmm hmm. |
| When Sakura touches the box with her staff, she can see a force field around the box. | |
| Kero | Aah! |
| Sakura | Oh! |
| Madison | What happened there? |
| Kero | Sakura. |
| Sakura | Yeah. |
| Sakura did the same, and the force field appears again. | |
| Kero | I knew it. It’s the Shield Card. A kind of barrier was there just now, right? |
| Madison | But how come? I didn’t see anything, Kero. |
| Kero | Only the people with magical powers can see it. |
| Madison | But how did this Card appear in my room? |
| Sakura | Do you think that the Shield Card somehow knew Madison was my friend, Kero? |
| Kero |
Yeah, this Card is a very smart Card, and has
real purposes on everything it does. The Shield Card protects things that is precious. That’s its nature. Protecting things that are very special. The things inside this box must be very special to your mom. |
| Sakura | So how are we going to capture the Shield Card, Kero? |
| Kero | Well, that’s easy. What Card here up right now that will cut you anyting. |
| Sakura | Oh, yeah! I can cut the Shield with the Sword. |
| Kero | When you cut the Shield with the Sword the Shield will come out. Then you can seal it! |
| Sakura | O Key of Clow, power of magic, power of light. Surrender the wand, the force ignite. Release! Sword! |
| The staff turns into a sword, then Sakura hold it up and flick it down. Then a magical wave cut the force field around the jewelry box, which turns into the visible form of the Shield Card. | |
| Kero | Seal it! |
| Sakura |
Right! Shield Card, return to your power confined! Shield! |
| The Shield spirals into the tip of the sealing wand, and turns back into a card. | |
| Kero | You did it, Sakura! |
| Madison | That was amazing! |
| Sakura | Huh. |
| Madison | Huph! |
| Sakura | What is it? |
| Madison | I completely forgot to get you wear this battle costume! |
| Sakura | Hunh. Ughhh... [Colapses] |
| Madison is attemping to open the box. | |
| Madison | I hope this’ll open now. |
| Sakura | Hah! It worked! |
| Madison | Thanks for all your help. |
| Kero | It sure is a good thing to have me along today. |
| Sakura | Hey, can we look inside? |
| Madison | Sure. |
| Inside the box is a beautiful bouquet of cherry blossoms. | |
| Sakura | Ohh. |
| At this time, there’s a knock on the door. | |
| Kero | Oh, no. Not now. [Hides somewhere] |
| Madison | Come in. |
| Samantha |
Are you ready for dinner? Oh, you got it opened. |
| Madison | Yes. |
| Samantha | How did you do that. |
| Sakura gets upset and tuen to the other way. | |
| Madison | I found a way to unlock it with Sakura’s help. |
| Samantha | I haven’t been able to unlock it for a while now. |
| Samantha picks up the bouquet out of the box. | |
| Sakura | What a beautiful bouquet. |
| Samantha | This beautiful bouquet belonged to your mother. She carried this very bouquet on her wedding day. |
| Sakura | What? |
| Samantha | There are cherry blossoms. They were your mother’s favorite flowers. Natasha said if she had a baby girl she would name her Sakura. Which means cherry blossoms. |
| Sakura | Sakura? |
| Samantha | Heh. And you are the girl, Sakura. |
| Sakura | Hunh hmmm. |
| Samantha |
All right. Come on. Let’s have some dinner now. Let me know if there’s something special you would like. |
| Sakura | OK. |
| Samantha | OK. Help me set the table. |
| Sakura | Uh, I uh... |
| Samantha | Hurry up, Madison. |
| Samantha leaves the room taking Sakura by the hand. | |
| Madison | I’ll be right there. |
| Kero | I feel like I’ve been hiding out all day. |
| Madison | Heh heh heh heh heh. |
| Madison put the bouquet in the box, instead, she takes a small stuff out of it. | |
| Kero | Hey, what do you got there, Madison? |
| Madison | Present from Sakra. |
| Kero | What is it? |
| Madison | A surprise. |
| Kero | Uh, it must be special. |
| Madison | Yes, sure is. |
| Madison puts the small gift in, and locked the jewelry box. | |
| Madison | They used to belong to Sakura’s mom. My mom will give it to Sakura when she’s older. |
| Samantha | [From the hall] Madison. |
| Madison | Coming! |
| Kero | Bring me back some dinner, OK? |
| Madison | OK. And for helping me today, I’ll bring you dessert, too. |
| Kero | Oh, yeah! You are the best, Madison! Yeah. |
