Return To The Future

Sakura is dreaming, where she stands on the rooftop of the building facing to a radio tower. She can see a woman stading far across on another building.
Sakura	Who are you? What do you want from me?
Sakura wakes up.
Sakura	Oh! [Sits up] That strange dream again. Hmm?
Sakura recalls the figure of the woman see saw in the dream, but she has no idea who it was.
Sakura	Hmmm. Wow! I woke up before the alarm went off!
She changed into her school uniform.
Sakura	Kero, are you up yet? Kero?
Kero	[Sleeping] Uhh... chocolate pudding... yeah...
Sakura	Heh heh heh. I think I'll let Kero sleep in this morning.
Sakura rollerblades on the way to school, much earlier than usual. She is happy to see grean leveas on the trees on the street.
Sakura	What a beautiful morning!
She suddenly flashbacks the dream.
Sakura	What is that my dream was trying to tell me? I wish I knew what it meant. Wha-
Sakura comes back to herself, hearing bell tolls at the shrine.
Sakura	The shrine. Madison told me yesterday that Ms. Mackenzie's Dad owns the shrine. I really like her a lot. For some reason, Li doesn't trust her.
Layla	Trust who?
Sakura didn't know, but Layla Mackenzie is behind her raking the gateway.
Sakura	Uh, whoa!
Layla	I'm so sorry. Did I statle you, Sakura?
Sakura	No, I... uh... ummm, good morning.
Layla	Good morning. You're up very early this morning.
Sakura	Yeah, I thought I would get an early start for the day.
Layla	Yeah, me too. My father has an illness lately. So I'm helping him by doing some work around the shrine for a few days.
Sakura	Would you like some help?
Layla	Are you sure, Sakura?
Sakura	It won't be any problem.
Julian	I can help, too.
At this time, Julian comes by by bike.
Sakura	What? Julian!
The three of those people rake the garden of the shrine. Julian is looking for the spot to dump the leaves he raked.
Julian	Would you like this to go over here?
Layla	Yes, thank you.
Sakura	I'm glad I got up early this morning. Hmmm?
Sakura flashbacks the scnene of last night just after she captured the Maze Card.
Li	I would be careful if I were you. She's more than just some teacher.
Sakura	I wonder what Li meant by that.
Layla gives a bag of chestnut to each for sign of appreciation.
Layla	Thank you for helping me this morning. Here's some chestnuts from the shrine's garden for two of you.
Sakura	Thanks.
Julian	Yeah. Are you sure we can have these?
Layla	Of course.
Julian	We better get going or we're going to be late for sure, Sakura.
Sakura	Right.
Julian	I'll walk with you there, okay?
Sakura	Sure, okay!
Julian	I'll just go get my bike.
Julian runs to take his bike.
Layla	Sakura.
Sakura	Hmm, yes?
Layla	Ummm... [Shakes head] Uh, nothing. Never mind. There's no need to tell it to her now. There's still time.

Sakura walks in her school.
Sakura	Good morning!
Kids	Good morning!
Sakura	Hey, Madison, how are you?
Madison	I'm good. Best thing you're fast.
Sakura	He heh heh.
Madison	You are not running on time today. You are actually early. What happened this morning? Did Kero figure out the way to wake you up?
Sakura	No, I just wake up early this morning. [Shows chestnuts] Now, check this out.
Madison	What is that?
Sakura	Well, I helped out Ms. Mackenzie this morning.
Li	What do you mean you helped out Ms. Mackenzie this morning?!
Sakura	But, Li...
Meilin	Li, where did you go? [Enters classroom]
Li	Uh-hmmm?
Meilin	Gee, I went to get may bag and I turned around and you're gone already! Oh, did you bring them for me?
Sakura	Would you like a chestnut, Meilin?
Meilin	I'll show you guys how to peel one.
Taking chestnuts out of the bag, Meilin shows them how to peel them.
Meilin	Watch closely. First, you do this, then you'll easily pop it out like this, see?
Sakura	That's amazing!
Madison	Now I wish I brought my video camera today!
Meanwhile, Ms. Mackenzie walks toward the classroom; Li senses her presence.
Li	Huh?
Li has a fit to see her; but she smiles.

Sakura and Aiden are talking at the table back home, when she is eating cake.
Aiden	The school notice says here you have a new math teacher.
Sakura	Mmm-hmm. Our old teacher will be gone for a month.
Aiden	And your new math teacher is... oh! It says here that it's Ms. Layla Mackenzie.
Sakura	Huh? I din't know thay you met Ms. Mackenzie before, Dad?
Aiden	Her dad owns the shrine, doesn't he?
Sakura	Mmm-hmm.
Aiden	So, I guess she's come back then.
Sakura	You mean you know her, Dad?
Aiden	Well, actually, it's Tori that knows her. She was his math teacher until she went to teach in England.
Sakura	That's weird. When they met the other night, they acted as if they didn't know each other.
Aiden	That is his trick.

Meanwhile, Layla is looking at the full moon, with a smile in front of the big cherry tree in the shrine. Soon, the wind begins to blow; she smiles mysteriously. Something magical appears swirling above the cherry tree until hides inside the tree.
Guided by Kero, Sakura is rollerblading outside.
Sakura	Are you sure you sensed the Clow Card?
Kero	Definitely, Sakura. This one woke me up, so it just made its presence known.
They arrive at the shrine.
Sakura	There's the shrine.
Kero	Yeah, this is where it's coming from.
Sakura	You know what? This is really strange. This is where we caught the Maze Card with Ms. Mackenzie's help.
Kero	You mean that mysterious teacher?
Sakura	Mmm-hmm. Which card could it be?
At that time, Li come up with his lasin board pinpointing the card.
Li	Whichever it is, the card has immense of powers. I'm sure of it.
Sakura	Hey, Li.
Kero	What are you doing here, kid? As you can see, we are not under control.
Sakura	Mmmm... [Looking for something]
Li	What is it?
Sakura	So where's Meilin?
Li	She's at home. She hasn't finshed her book report, yet.
Kero	Ya hah, the little girl can't get her book report done.
Sakura	Kero, that's not just nice! You know that Meilin is new to our school. So it'll take her a while to catch up to us.
Kero	Awww...
Li	Hey, where's Madison? She's always around with a videocamera to capture.
Sakura	It's too late now, so I can't call her.
Kero	All right, let's go. We've got a Clow Card to capture!
Sakura, Kero, and Li are in front fo the cherry tree, in tracking the presence.
Kero	I know it's got to be around here somewhere. But where can it be?
Li	Well, it's definitely close by. [Reading lasin board]
Sakura	We've been looking for all over for an hour now, or nothing.
Kero	And I was feeling it so strong, too. Now I'm barely to pick out anything. Well, I'm thirsty. Isn't there vending machine around here somewhere?
Sakura	I want a drink, too.
Sakura throws her purse to Kero.
Kero	Oh!
Kero flies with the purse to look for a vending machine.
Sakura	With one for Li, too, okay?
Kero	Okay, okay, one for the kid, too.
Li	Don't call me kid!
Sakura	Just get going and hurry back!
Sakura and Li are up on the branches of the tree, waiting for Kero.
Sakura	Do you think it could have left the park?
Li	No, I don't think so. Maybe it somehow knew when we were here; it hides from us.
Sakura	When we do capture this card, it will be the second one we've found here.
Li	You are right. We captured the Maze Card here before.
Sakura	And if it weren't for the help of Ms. Mackenzie's bell she had with her.
Li	You're right. She was a big help with the Maze Card. But I still don't trust her. Haven't you been able to sense anything from her yet?
Sakura	Mmm-hmm.
Li	Like I said before, you and I had better stay on guard.
Sakura	From Ms. Mackenzie, I don't sense any thing.
Li	Don't trust!
Sakura	I don't know why you don't trust her, Li. I like her, and for some reason, I think she is here trying to help us.
Li	Mmmmm! [Shakes head]
Li jumps off the tree and runs away.
Li	I give up!
Sakura	Hey, Li! Where do you think you're going?
When Sakura jumps off the tree and stands on her feet, the migic coming out of the cherry tree catches her on the leg. Trapped Sakura is being pulled into the cherry tree.
Sakura	Ahhhh!
Kero floats back with three cans of drink.
Kero	I come with the drinks. You're missing anything? Whoa! Sakura!
Li takes out his sword, and rushes to the tree, but it's too late.
Li	Where did she go?
Kero	Sakura.
Li	She disappeared into the tree.
Kero	That's it! It's the Return Card!
Sakura wakes up and finds she is lying in front of the cherry tree where no ones is around.
Sakura	This is really bizarre. How in the world did I get here? I don't remember I go to the shrine with Kero, meeting Li. And Kero went for drinks, and Li and I were talking, and then next thing I don't remember. Oh, yeah, I was pulled into the tree!
Sakura stands up and gropes around the tree for the hole that swallowed her.
Sakura	The hole, it just disappeared. Huh? What?
Sakura steps back to look up at the cherry tree.
Sakura	It's full of cherry blossoms.
Meanwhile, someone is walking far behind her.
Sakura	Hey, Li. That isn't Li. I got to hide somewhere. Oh!
Sakura takes out the key, which she transforms into the staff to use the Jump Card.
Sakura	Jump!
Sakura jumps up on a branch.
Sakura	It's Tori. What is he doing here? If he finds me I'm in so much trouble. Wait a sec. Why is he wearing his junior hish school uniform?
Tori pats on the trunc of the tree.
Tori	There's a really strange aura coming out from this tree.
Sakura	Uh-oh.
Layla	Hello. [Stands behind him] You are a student from my math class, aren't you.
Sakura	Ms. Mackenzie.
Tori	That's right, Ms. Mackenzie. I'm Tori.
Layla	So you sense the strange aura from the tree as well? You have the ability to see things, don't you. It must be difficult for you to be able to see things others can't.
Tori	I've gotten used to it.
Layla	You have a little sister, don't you.
Tori	Yeah, she just turned six, and her name is Sakura.
Sakura	Oh, what's going on here? I must have been sent back into the past?
Layla	I have to be leaving now. But I'll see you tomorrow, at school.
Tori	Okay.

Back in the shrine in the present time, Kero is explaining Li about the Return Card.
Kero	The Return Card takes her back to the past. But it takes a great deals of powers so it's hardly ever used.
Li	Well, then, how come it's coming out now?
Kero	Well, this tree is the sacred tree of the shrine, right? So it holds a lot of powers. The Card must be using that power, but even so the Return Card can only send one person back to the past. So we didn't tell just one person here at the base of the tree. And there's the full moon tonight.

Back in the past, Tori runs to the tree where Layla is raking.
Tori	Hello, Ms. Mackenzie.
Layla	Hello, Tori.
Tori	How did you know about my sister, Sakura?
Layla	I could sense it just like you, Tori. I possess special powers myself.
Tori	Relly? What kind of powers?
Layla	Well, same as yours. It's complicated I can't afford to explain it to you now and I can't tell you that I'm connected by someone special.
Tori	Who?
Sakura	Are they talking about me?
Layla	I can't tell you now. But you'll really find out some day.
Tori	Please, Ms. Mackenzie. Tell me now.
Layla	I really can't. It's not time yet.
Sakura	So Tori and Ms. Mackenzie did know each other.

In the present time, Li and Kero are talking about what to do.
Li	What's going to happen to Sakura?
Kero	Unfortunately, Sakura will be stuck in the past until the past catches up with the present.
Li	Isn't there something we can do?
Kero	But it's not impossible.

In the past, there's a summer festival in the shrine. Tori and Layla walk to the cherry tree.
Tori	So what did you want to tell me?
Layla	I've been offered a wonderful teaching position in England.
Tori	Huh?
Layla	And unfortunately, we'll be leaving the next week.
Sakura	They're too far. I can't quite here them.
Layla	Promise me you won't tell Sakura about our talks or don't let her know that we know each other. Right then?
Layla walks a few steps away from the tree to see the night sky.
Layla	A beautiful full moon.
Tori doesn't say a word.
Layla	When a disaster befalls the world.
Sakura	What?
Layla turns around and look at Sakura up on the branch.
Sakura	You can see me?
Layla	It is your destiny.
Sakura is illuminated by blinding bright light.
Sakura	Ahhhh!
Kero	Sakura! Sakura!
Suddenly, she is back in the present time.
Sakura	Hi, Kero.
Kero	So I'm glad you're made back okay.
Sakura	But how did I?
Kero	Well, I guess it wasn't a good thing that kid came out tonight.
Sakura	What?
The magic comes out swirling out from the tree.
Kero	Sakura, that's the true form of the card!
Sakura	Return to the power confined, Clow Card!
Responging to the swing of the staff, the power concentrates at the tip of the staff and turns into a card, before flying to Li who is standing exhausted behined the tree.
Li	That's good, you made it back. [Collapes]
Sakura	Li, no!
Li sitting with his back leaning against the tree is panting from exhaustion.
Kero	The Return Card took you back to the past. The only way to seal the Return Card is to use the Time Card to stop the passage of time, but it takes a lot of magical enegy to bring out to the Time Card.
Sakura	Thanks for helping with everything.
Kero	Yue. [Looks at the moon]
Layla is watching them from behind the shrine house, smiling.
