Play Misty for Tori

Sakura and Madison are looking around in Reedington High Culture Festival. Sakura is running around with joy.
Sakura Yay! Woo here!
Madison Did you remember to bring your ticket?
Sakura Yep. [Takes out ticket]
Reedington High Culture Festival. Oh?
Sakura finds out Madison videotaping her.
Sakura What are you doing?!
Madison I brought my videocamera in case a Clow Card shows up today. You never know where we'll find one.

Tori's class are busy with the preparation for their stage play.
Leader Let's get it moving. Our show's about to begin.
Tori is sewing a shabby dress with patches. A boy bring him a pair of shoes.
Boy Hey, Avalon, are you gonna need these?
Tori Nah, that's OK. I got my own.
Three girls comes to Tori to talk to him.
Girl A Are you nervous about the play today?
Tori No.
Girl A This is a difficult part for you, Tori.
Girl B Too bad you lost a bet.
Girl C Heh heh heh.
Vicky is watching him from behind the partition.
Vicky Poor Tori...

Sakura and Madison are walking up the stairs with crèpes in their hands.
Sakura Too bad Kero couldn't come.
Oh, no! [Rushes up a flight]
I promised Kero I would bring him a treat home!
Sakura and Madison come a flight up, and walk in the hall.
Sakura Huh?
Julian dressed in a kimono guides girls into the classroom.
Julian Uh, Hi!
Sakura Hi, Julian. Hey, you're wearing a kimono!
Julian Our class is in charge of running a Japanese food booth so we all have to wear those kimonos today.
Go on in.
Sakura and Madioson come into the classroom. There are Japanese style benches that looks like a knee-high platform covered with a red cloth. People are enjoying Japanese snacks.
Girls Welcome!
Sakura Whoa...
Julian What would you like? There's lemon soda and desserts.
Madison I'll have one of each, please.
Sakura I'll have lemon soda, please.
Julian OK, I'll be right back.
Julian walks in behind the counter.
Julian comes back to the bench where Sakura and Madion are seated.
Julian Here you go.
Sakura and Madison drink their lemon soda.
Madison It's good.
Sakura Huh?
Madison What's the matter?
Sakura I just got this weird feeling.
Sakura looks in one direction, where Li is.
Julian Uh, hey, Li.
Li jumps on his feet, somersets forward and lands just before Sakura.
Li Ha.
Julian Li, are you thirsty? [Bring lemonade]
Li [Blushes but soon snatches it] Thanks!
Julian I think I'll take my break now. Want me to show you guys around?
Skura&Li That would be great!
Sakura and Li glare at each other.

Tori and two boys are carrying a big prop trunk up the stairs.
Boy A This trunk's heavy!
Tori Yep.
Boy B We need to get some help with this trunk.
Boy A Definitely.
Tori All right. All right.
Girl B I hope he doesn't ask for help.
Girl A They'd better hurry up and get the trunk over to the stage right away.
So you memorized all of your lines?
Vicky Uhh, I think... most of them.
Girl A What do you mean “most of them”? You know the show gonna start very soon, Vicky.
Girl B Very soon. You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of all these people. You'd better go right now and practice.
Vicky Aw right! Kiddo, see you later.
Vicky walks off.

Sakura is fascinated with stuffed rabbit toys that is piled up on a desk outside.
Sakura So cute!
Li Don't you have one of that at home, Sakura?
Sakura I like this one, too!
Boy I'll give you one if you get a bascket again our best five players.
In front of them, five tall basketball player are standing.
Sakura Uh, ohhh...
Boy Oh, year. It could cost your a quarter.
Julian Here. [Flashes a quater]
Boy Huh? Are you sure?
Julian Uh-huh.
Boy Uhh, fine. It's your quarter.
The boy reluctantly snatches the quarter, and blows a whistle. One of the players throws a bascketball to Julian, and he catches and spins it on the tip of his finger.
Julian Not bad.
Sakura Yeah.
On the whistle, Julian starts dribbling the ball with a smooth move. He nimbly weaves through four players that try to defend, jumps and throws the ball over the gigantic final defender's head.
Julian Ha!
The ball rolls on the frame on the goal.
Sakura&Li Oh, no.
Finally, the ball fall through the bascket successfully.
Sakura&Li Yeah!
[Look to each other] Humph!
Boy I'm impressed. You've got some great move, Star. You should be playing ball for us. [Gives a stuffed toy]
Julian Oh, thanks.
Here. [Gives Sakura the toy]
Sakura That was amazing, Julian.
Julian flashes two more quarters with a smile.
Boy You want to go again?
Julian Yep, I'm not finished yet.
And... finally, Sakura, Madison, and Li get a stuffed toy each.
Boy Julian!
Julian Huh?
Boy Come join our team!
Julian I'll think about it.
Behind him are the five bascketball players totally worn out.

Julian Well, just about time.
Madison About time for what?
Julian Our class performance we're having at the auditorium today.
Sakura Is Tori going to be in that, too?
Julian Yep.
Sakura I wonder what part he's playing.
Julian Heh heh heh, I'm not telling. You have to see for yourself.
Sakura What?
Julian Heh heh.
Sakura Uh, whatever it is, I'm sure he'll be good at it.
Julian Oh, don't worry. It'll be a performance you'll never forget.
Meawhile, at the backstage, acters are making themselves up for their play, but at the same time, a strange mist arises and swirls in the playground.

In the auditorium, a girl plays the piano on the stage. When she finished her play the audiences applaud loudly. Amoung the audience, Sakura, Madison, and Li are seated.
Madison Ohh.
P.A. Next is the performance put on by the Grade 11 devison D class entitled Cinderella.
Sakura What?
Madison Division D. Isn't that the division your brother is in, Sakura?
Li Yeah, maybe he's playing the role of one of the rats.
Lights are out, a beep goes off, and the curtain is raised.
Middle of the stage, a boy dressed in a shabby dress is in a crouch sobbing.
Narration Long long time ago, there was a very beautiful woman named Cinderella.
Boy Sob sob sob...
Sakura That voice...
Narration Every day she was tormented by her wicked stepmother and her ugly stepsisters. But she was a good girl, and she continued to work hard.
The boy playing Cinderalla turns back to the audience, who turns out to be Tori.
Madison Julian's right. You'll never forget this performance.
Sakura Heh heh heh... [Nervously]
Boy B Cinderella! You do all the cleaning! [Shoves Tori]
Boy C [Pushes Tori back] It's dirty over there. You're such a disgrace.
Boy B (acting one of the stepsisters) puches Tori again toward Boy A who is acting the stepmother.
Boy A My soup was too salty today! [Shoves Tori backward]
Boy B Are you trying to kill us?
Boy B kicks Tori on the back, then Tori falls on the stage.
Tori Aw!
Sakura embarrassedly sees the performance.
Boy A There's a ball in the castle tonight.
Boy B Yes, that's right!
Boy C Yes, I can't wait to go.
Boy A The prince is going to choose a wife.
Boy B From among the ladies who attend the ball...
Boy C I am going to engaged to the prince.
Boy B No, I will!
Boy C I will!
Madison sweatdrops seeing the play.
Madison That sure is weird.
Boys B&C La la la la la lahh. [Dancing with each other]
Boy A Come on! We have to get ready for the ball!
Tori [Says in monotone] Oh, how I wish I could go, too.
Boy B Three of us are going to the ball.
Boy C You must stay home, Cinderella.
Boy B Have a late night snack ready for us when we get back.
Boy C Come on, sis. Let's go.
Boys A, B, and C (stepmother and stepsisters) walks away.
Tori [Says in monotone] Sob sob sob, oh, boy. How I wish I could go to the ball.
Sakura Hmm... [Embarrassed]
Li I don't think he wants to go.
Meanwhile the mysterious mist wraps the entire auditorium inside, and the mist seeps into the auditorims through the small opening of windwos, when the iron bars on the windows corrode.
On the other hand, back in the stage play...
Announcement The prince has arrived!
The prince turned to be Vicky, and when she's spotlighted there's cheers of admiration.
Vicky As I'm sure you're already aware I am going to choose my bride at this ball. I am going to choose a princess from among...
Humm!
The prince (Vicky) gasps at the sight of Cinderella (Tori) who is walking unsteadily toward him (her).
Tori staggers but stands before Vicky, and she forget her line with excitement.
Tori Vicky, your line.
Vicky Oh, what a beautiful, kind hearted young lady. Let's have a dance, shall we?
Tori and Vicky are dancing, when the mist seeps deep into the backstage. Sakura and Li in the audience sense the presence of the strange being.
Sakura Uh...
Madison Do you sense something?
Sakura I'm not sure.
In the climax of the play, Tori and Vicky are on the balcony, under behind which boys are fanning smoke out from dry ice.
Vicky Cinderella, I don't want you to leave me.
Tori But I must go back home.
Vicky Please become my princess.
Tori But my fairy godmother told me to be home by midnight.
Sakura I sense...
Li Something strange.
The mysterious mist percolates onto the stage, corroding the balcony Vicky and Tori are on.
Sakura&Li Huff!
Vicky Cinderella, I...
Tori Prince...
At this time, the balcony breaks down and Vicky is almost shaken off, when Tori catched her by the hand. Vicky is hanging off just by one hand. The audiences gasp at the scene.
Sakura Hold on!
Julian Tori!
Under the suspended balcony, the mist corrodes the cable, and consequently the curtain rolls down to shut. All around the auditorium is throuwn into a commotion.
Audience A Oh, no...
Audience B Oh, seems causing some trouble. Some kind of...
Sakura It got to be a Clow Card.
Li We've got to go where everyone won't see us.
Sakura Hmm!
Sakura finds there's the control room above the stage, and she head for it. Li follows her.
Madison Sakura?
Sakura I have a card to capture.

Meanwhile, Kero was crying with impression on the drama he watches on TV.
Kero Ooh... Unh... What a romantic movie.
Kero's cell phone ring.
Kero This is better be Sakura calling about a Clow Card. [Answers the phone]
Sakura [Rushing up stairs] Kero, we got a big problem, and a Clow Card, I'm in Tori's play, it does appear.
Kero What's that? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
That's the Mist Card. It covers everything in fog and destroys it.
Sakura What?
Kero Better hurry or the stage and your brother's almost fallen apart!
Sakura No!
Kero You and Li may somehow round up the mist before you capture it.
Sakura Round up?
The balcony breaks further.
Girl Vicky.
Julian tried to rush up the stairs, but the stair way collapses before his steps.
Julian Watch out!
Vicky You can't hold on much longer. Maybe you should let me try to jump down. Tori.
Tori never let her fall; he's wincing holding Vicky's wrist tightly.
Vicky I'll be OK.
Tori Mmm... Mmm...
Sakura Round it up... Round it up... I know!
Shadow Card, round up mist inside yourself. Shadow!
Burstig out of the control room, the Shadow spread all over on the stage and wraps the mist inside it.
Sakura Mist Card, return to your power confined! Mist!
The sealed card floats up to the control room, where Sakura picks it up.
Sakura Whoa...
At the very moment, the balcony begins to totally break apart.
Vicky Aaah!
Tori and Vicky are shaken off the balcony, and fall. Li summons his wind magic to catch them gently from the shock. Two of them stand on the stange without being hurt.
Sakura Huhhh...
Vicky Thanks.
Julian Tori!
Girl Vicky. Are you OK?
Julian Are you guys hurt?
Tori No, we're fine.
Tori looks up at the control room, where Sakura and Li has already taken off.

In the twilight, a bonfire is set in the middle of the playground.
P.A. Attention, everyone. A bonfire dance will begin soon.
Madison I can't believe my film ran out before the play started, not to mention. A Clow Card showing up, I missed the great capture.
Sakura Heh heh heh heh.
Madison I'm sure glad things turn out OK for everyone today.
Sakura Me, too.
Thanks, Li.
Li Huh?
Sakura For helping me out.
Li What do you mean helping you? [Looks the other way.]
Sakura Mmm...
Hey, Julian!
Julian Boy, what a day.
Sakura How's Tori?
Julian He's fine. He just went to check up to Vicky to see how she was.
Sakura Oh.

Meanwhile, Tori and Vicky are alone on the rooftop.
Vicky Thanks for saving me today.
Tori ......
Vicky [Turn to Tori] I owe you a big time. Tori...
Tori Uhh... don't... worry about it.
Vicky It's too bad about the play.
Tori Mm-hmm.
Vicky Uh, oh, well. There's always next years.
Say, how about a dance around the bonfire.

Students are dancing around a bonfire in a couple in a promenade position. Among them, Tori and Vicky are in.
Sakura Oh, Tori.
Vicky Not bad.
When the partners change, Tori walk away from the dance circle.
Vicky Hey, where are you going?
Tori Oh, I'm just going to say hi to my sister for a minute.
Vicky That's cool. I'll wait for you.
Tori walks to Sakura and the others.
Sakura So why didn't you tell me you were going to be in that play today?
Tori You told her?
Julian Mm-hmm.
Shall we dance? Come on!
Sakura OK!
Julian takes Sakura by the hand, and the two run into the circle of the bonfire dance.
Madison What a great shot. [Videotapes Sakura]
Sakura enjoys the very moment of the dance with Julian.
