A Present For The Cards

In unlit Sakura's room, Mirror Card being Sakura is talking with the deck of Cards which are glowing.
Mirror OK, I'll talked to Sakura about it. I'll tell her as soon as she comes back home tonight.
Sakura flies back home on the roof with Kero, where she knocks on the window of her room. The light is on, the Mirror Card walks up and open the window to let them in.
Sakura Was everything OK?
Miror Yeah, your Dad stoped by once, and that's all.
Sakura That's good. Thanks for that.
Back in her room, Sakura sits and collapses on bed, while Mirror is standing in front of her.
Sakura Huhhhh! I'm pooked.
Kero Uh, you did great tonight. That was amazing how you transformed two Cards into Star Cards like that.
Sakura It was pretty cool tonight. But I don't know how I'm going transfrom all the Cards.
Kero And I don't get any idea about transforming other Cards once again, OK?
Sakura I know. But if I don't do something soon and I feel like I'm going to lose all the Cards and their magic.
Kero If you better hurry, strengthen your magic.
Sakura I know. I know.
Mirror Card is looking for the time to start telling Sakura about something.
Mirror Ummm... The Cards...
Sakura Yeah, what's that?
There's a knock on the door as Sakura gasps.
Sakura Someone's here!
Sakura jumps on her feet, runs turn off the light and hurries back into bed, when Kero flies on the shelf to pretend being a stuffed animal. But Mirror is still standing.
Sakura Huh?! Change back now! [To Mirror]
Mirror Uh, yeah, right.
The Mirror Card transforms back into its card form. A few seconds later, the door opens as Tori peeks in suspiciously. He looks at Sakura under the bedding, Kero pretending being a stuffed animal, and the Cards on her desk.
Tori I know you're not sleeping. I can hear you down in the hallway. Now get to sleep, Sakura; it's late.
Sakura keeps pretending being sleeping. Tori half closes the door as he opens it again to check Kero, and then he truly closes the door.
Sakura&Kero Uhhh...
Kero He's right. It is getting late.
Sakura Yeah, better get to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow.
Meanwhile, sitting in his chair in his house, Eli is watching what's happening in Sakura's room visioned in the magic circle on the floor.

Next morning, Kero is brushing his teeth.
Kero You know, Sakura. I've... I've cheated times, but I think your brother is catching onto me.
Sakura is running around the room and changes into her school uniform
Sakura Oh, no! I'm going to be late!
Kero Hey, are you sure you'll let me still be here or what?
Sakura I don't have time right now!
Kero But he hides such strong powers that he knows about me.
Sakura finishes changing cloths takes some pencils and erasers out of her drawer and puts them in her backpack.
Sakura You want to be more careful around here, then. And especially when sneak down in the kitchen at night for food.
Kero I don't do that.
Sakura Don't worry, Kero. I promise you secret is saved with me.

Tori and Sakura are leaving home for school.
Tori Catch you later.
Sakura Bye, Dad. See you later.
Sakura rollerblades after Tori on his bike to school.
Sakura It's freezing.
Sakura sees the Christmas tree decorated by the window in a house on the way.
Sakura It's a Christmas tree.
I'll have to go buy Christmas present for everybody. Let's see. I'll get one for Madison, Chelsea, Nikki, and Rita. And then for Dad, Tori, and Julian. I get the feeling of missing someone.
Tori Hey.
Sakura Huh?
Tori Have you got a present for Dad, yet?
Sakura No, not yet. What do you think I should get him?
Tori You should get him a wallet. He needs a new one.
Sakura Perfect, and that's exactly what I'll get him.
Tori Do you have enough saving, huh? Wallets can be pretty expensive.
Sakura Oh, what am I going to do, now? I don't have enough money to buy Dad a new wallet.
Tori You know, I was thinking of getting Dad a wallet, too. Why don't we go in on it together?
Sakura Really?
Tori Yeah, actually, I was thinking going to get it today.
Sakura I'll go with you.
Huh?
Julian is not standing where he usually meets Sakura and Tori on the way to school.
Sakura Hey, Julian's not here today. I wonder what happened to him.
Tori knowing something doesn't say anything. Few minutes later, they are in front of Reedington Elementary School.
Tori Let's meet here at four o'close today.
Sakura OK, four o'clock it is.

Tori comes in his classroom.
Girl Good morning.
Tori Morning.
Julian is sleeping at his seat.
Tori Julian! Hey, Julian. Wake up! Hey, wake up!
Julian Oh, hey, Tori. Good morning.
Tori You're here early today.
Julian Well, I'm sleepy in the late every morning. So I decided to come early and sleep here.
Julian falls into sleep.
Tori Julian, wake up! Wake up! Hey!
Julian What?
Tori I can't keep this up.
Julian Hmm?
Tori Julian, I know that...
Ruby What's going on here, Tori?!
Suddenly, Ruby jumps at and hung onto Tori.
Tori What do you want?
Ruby I just missed you. That's all.
Tori We just saw yesterday at school. You remember?
Ruby Yeah, that was twelve hours ago!
Tori No, no. Leave me alone.
Ruby Come on.
Tori Aw, that hurts!
Ruby Oh, Tori...

At the church up on the hill in Reedington, mysteriously Eli sees around the town stading high up on the tip of the sharp roof.
Eli Now, it's the time to listen to your intuitions, Sakura.

When the class is dismissed, Madison packing her belongings in her backpack talks to Sakura.
Madison A present to your Dad?
Sakura Yeah, I'm going to meet Tori after school today. So I won't be able to walk home with you.
Madison Oh, that's OK, Sakura. I have something to get ready for the Christmas myself anyway.
Sakura Oh.
Madison Christmas is just around the corner. I still have to get presents for my mom and for you!
Sakura Huh?
Madison See you later, Sakura. Ha!
Madison dashes out of the scene. Sakura and Li only who are in the classroom see Madison vanishes, as Sakura nervously laughs.
Sakura I better hurry up and finish this assignment. Oh, you can go leave ahead of me if you are able to take back all the stuff from the music room for me, Li. I'll make sure the classroom is tidy before I leave school today.
Li Huh? I'll... wait for you.
Sakura Huh?
Li I'll wait for you to finish your assignment, and you can take back all the stuff to the music room. I'll just stay and tidy up the classroom, OK?
Sakura OK.
When her assignment has been finished, Sakura is taking the stuff to the music room.
Sakura Well, thanks. See you tomorrow.
Li Later, see you.
Li restarts writing something at his desk.
On the way, Sakura hears someone play the piano in the music room; the pianist is Eli when nobody is in the room.
Sakura What a beautiful song!
Eli Thanks a lot, Sakura. I've been practicing for days.
Sakura For what?
Eli You the big church is up on the hill? Well, I'm going to be be performing there for Christmas mass.
Sakura Wow, that's great.
Sakura listen to the piece of music Eli is playing.

Tori walks out of his school building with Julian.
Tori Are you sure you're OK on your own?
Julian Yeah, I got a lot of sleep during the class. I really shouldn't be doing, that's all.
Tori is looking with worry at Julian from behind.
Tori Julian.
Julian turned around to look back at Tori.
Julian Yeah? What is it?
Tori I know everything. I know that you...
At this very moment, Ruby pops up.
Ruby Tori!
Tori Ugh?!
Ruby is sitting on the stone ornament at the etrance of the school.
Ruby Where on the earth have you been hiding?
Jumping off the ornament, she hops up to and hangs onto Tori.
Ruby Heh heh, Hmmm!
Tori You are always interrupting!
Ruby Interrupting what? What are you talking about, Tori?
Tori Get off of me!
Julian walks away alone.
Julian Well, see you tomorrow.
Tori Hey, Julian!
Nngh, you won again.
Ruby What do you mean?

When Li is waiting and looking around at the school gate, Sakura catches up to him.
Sakura Hey Li, wait up.
Li Hey, I thought that you already left.
Sakura I took a while in the music room. So what are you still doing here, Li?
Li Me? [gettign upset] Just hanging around. Just making tree, don't you mind what happened or anything. OK, see you!
Li kind of upset is walking away.
Sakura Uhhh... Hey, wait, Li.
Li walks backward to Sakura.
Li Yeah? What is it?
Sakura I have this really strange feeling that I'm forgetting something or someone important lately.
Li What?
Sakura and Li senses a strange aura at the back of school.
Sakura Huh?
Li Huh? You feel that?
Sakura It must be Clow Reed.
Li I'm going to go check it out. You stay here.
Sakura No way. I'm going with you.
Li The point is, your brother will be susupicious if you're not here to meet up with him.
Sakura Yeah, you're right. I know!
Sakura takes out the magic key to release her magic.
Sakura The key of the star, the powers burning bright, reveal the star and shine your light. Release!
Sakura takes out the Mirror Card.
Sakura Mirror!
The Mirror Card takes its visible form before transforming into the carbon copy of Sakura.
Sakura Mirror, I have another favor to ask of you.
Mirror Oh, OK.
Sakura Oh, thank you.
Mirror Ummm...
Sakura I want you to go shopping with my brother in my place, OK?
Mirror Umm...
Sakura What?
Mirror OK.
Sakura Thank you.
Sakura somehow knows Mirror is meaning to talking something.
Mirror The Cards...
Li Come on, let's go.
Li pulls Sakura and running to the source of aura.
Mirror I still haven't been able to tell her.
Hugh! Shopping with her brother. [Blushes]
Sakura and Li tracking Clow Reed's aura, are up on the hill back of school.
Sakura I can definitely feel Clow Reed.
Li But nothing strange has happened yet.
Eli standing up on a branch of a tree, swings his wand to use his magic. The steel fences rises like snakes in attacking position.

Tori on a bike comes to the school gate of Reedington Elementary School.
Tori Been waiting long? Hmm?
Mirror Let's get going.
Tori Duhhh... Tell me. Something happened to Sakura again?
Mirror Huh? Oh, umm...
Tori OK. She's gone with that kid. I guess she doesn't want me to know.
Mirror being a carbon copy of Sakura is standing without a word.
Tori Now, let's go shopping together. All right?
Mirror OK!

Up on the hill, steel fences are attacking the two Cardcaptors. No matter how many times they're knocked and slashed, they grow back and attack again.
Sakura uses the Jump Card to dodge the attack.
Sakura Jump!
The fence grows for stabbing Sakura, but Li stops it with his magic.
Li Element Lighting, come to my aid.
The fence gets broken in pieces until Sakura lands back on the hill.
Sakura Ungh, thanks, Li.
Li Look out!
Sakura What?
The broken pieces of fence get back together to normal.
Sakura It's coming back again.
Li What... should... we... do? [while blocking the attck]
Sakura It's... coming... back... even though... we... cut... it. [while blocking the attack]
The fence thrusts Sakura backward; she falls on her back.
Sakura Aw!
Li Sakura!
Sakura I know. That's the Card!
Sakura takes out the Mist Card.
Sakura I call upon the powers of my star, ancient forces near and far. Mist Card, tranform all your might, and draw your powers from my might. Star Card!
The Mist rounds up the fence, and the attacking fence gets rusty though into pieces. The rusty pieces are blown my cold wind.
Li You did it!
Sakura is looking at the Mist Card she has transformed without a word.
Li Hey, are you all right?
Sakura Yeah, I'm OK.
Li What's wrong?
Sakura I think I've just figured out what I've been forgetting to do.
Li Huh?
Sakura Oh, yeah! I wonder if he's been practintg.
Li What?
Sakura Sorry, Li, but I gotta run now.

Tori and the Mirror (being Sakura) are in a coffee shop for a break after their shopping. Tori sips the coffee, while the Mirror is sitting shyly.
Tori Don't worry. I won't mention to Sakura.
Tori puts a small gift in front of her.
Mirror Huh?
Tori It's for you. I picked that up for you in the store buying the wallet for my Dad. I want you to have it. Some little Christmas present.
Mirror What's that? For me?
Tori Um-hmm.
The Mirror unwraps the box and finds ribbons inside.
Tori Your hair is actually quite long.
She smiles and holds one of the ribbons preciouly.
Mirror Thanks so much.
Tori No, thanks you for helping Sakura all the time.

Afer dark, Sakura flies onto the roof of her house, when she knocks on the window.
Kero Sakura, where have you been? Do you know what time it is?! I've worried sick about you!
Sakura I'm sorry.
Mirror Welcome back.
When she gets in her room, Sakura takes a cassette tape.
Sakura I'd like you to listen to this.
Mirror Is it for me?
Sakura Yep.
She put the casette tapen in the player, which is played with a piano piece.
Kero OK, what's with the song?
Sakura Heh heh, I'm giving it all the Cards as a present. First, I've just wanted to say thanks for all of the times you helped me out when I was in trouble. I played and recorded the song for all the Cards to hear it as my thanks. And I hope they'll keep working with me.
Sakura&Mirro Heh heh heh.
Mirror There's something I've been trying to tell you all day.
Sakura What?
Mirror Thanks for trying so hard to change us into the Star Cards. We really like you as a new master. And we really wanted to know we're always here to help you when you need us. We will do our best to assist you no matter if the task is a simple one or a dangeous and difficult one. We are here for you.
Sakura Thanks.
The Mirror transforms into the card form. Picking the Card, Sakura gets puzzled because...
Sakura Was she wearing the ribbons before?
Kero Uh, Sakura, can I ask you something?
Sakura What is it, Kero?
Kero Music isn't your thing. So how did you play the piano so well on the tape?
Sakura Oh... uh... well I...

Sakura hurriedly open the door of the music room where Eli was still practing.
Sakura Eli, can you teach me how to play the song you're practicing?
Eli smiled and agreed.

Sakura Anyway, I ended up playing with one hand, and Eli played the other hand. That's how I played the song.
Kero That figures.
Sakura What do you mean figures? It was a lot of work, you know.
Kero I know. It must've been, Sakura. That was really nice thing to give for the Card.
Sakura Thanks.
Kero Now, concentrate on getting the rest of the Cards transformed.
Sakura Right. [Smiles]
