The Race

At one night, in the forest back of Reedington Park, Madison is videotaping Sakura on the Fly who is in a card capture.
Madison	Great shot!
Sakura steeply descends and flies straight in the forest.
Sakrua	The Dash Card's fast.
Kero	Well, you got that right. I think we're gonna break the sound barrier pretty soon.
Sakrua	Yeah. Does Dash ever get tired?
Kero	That's the good news. It only handles short distances.
The Dash Card dashes out of the forest into the air.
Kero	Now, Sakura!
Sakrua	Windy, release and dispel! Got it! Kero, the Card's fighting Windy.
Tied up by the Windy Card, the Dash Card struggles to get out of the Windy's restriction.
Kero	It'll get hurt if it struggles.
The Dash Card pops off the Windy Card away in the air.
Madison	Whoa, what was that?
Beyond the way the Card flies through, there is a crash sound.
Sakrua	Uh-oh.
Sakura, Kero, and Madison are waliking to find the Dash Card.
Madison	Well, I don't see it anywhere.
Sakrua	Wait.
Sakura stops to sense the Dash's presence.
Sakrua	I've got a sense from over there but it's not strong.
Kero	Dash struggled so hard against Windy, its energy will be low. Now's the perfect time to capture it, Sakura.
Sakura is sure the Dash is in the yard of this house facing to the forest. But the fence is too high for her to look into the yard. Sakura jumps up repeatedly to look in the yard.
Sakrua	Unh.
Then Sakura is trying to hang onto the fence.
Sakrua	I should have used the Jump Card.
Woman	Right over here, Officer.
Madison	Huh?
Madison notices a woman take a police officer to come over.
Madison	Sakura, someone's coming.
Sakrua	Oh, great.
Sakura and Madison are hiding behind a plant.
Officer	Sure it wasn't the cats again, ma'am?
Woman	Absolutely not. I saw someone right over here.
Officer	You sure about that?
Woman	Yes, and she was wearing the most bizarre outfit.
Sakrua	You see?
Madison	Well, it's very Mardi Gras.
Kero	Shh!
The officer is looking around beyond the plant oscillating a flashlight. So Sakura and Madison keep low not to be detected.
Kero	We can come back. The Dash Card's gonna need to rest up so it's not going anywhere.
Sakrua	Hmm.
Sakura and Madison runs back home. Besides the light on the first floor of the house is turned on, in the yard of the house the Dash is hiding. A girl opens the glass door to the yard, then a woman speaks to the girl.
Woman	Is something out there, Jess?
Girl	It's nothing. A plant fell over. Probably just a cat.
The girl gasped at the sight of the Dash Card, looking like a cat or something, hiding at the corner of the yard, which is nervously growling at her.
Girl	Don't be afraid. Come here, kitty.
The Dash runs to the back of a plant.
Girl	Huh? What's the matter? Aw, you've hurt your leg. I'll be right back.
The girl named Jessie is fixing the Dash's wounded leg.
Jessie	There. All fixed up.
The Dash Card feels relief in Jessie's arm.
Jessie	I've never seen an animal quite like you before. You're pretty cool.
Dash	Squeak.
Jessie	Oh, yeah. Same to you.
Next day after school, in Reedington Park, Sakura and Madison are planing to capture the Dash Card. But Sakura is wearing a baseball uniform, and Madison is videotaping her.
Sakrua	All right, Madison. A baseball uniform. Not bad. I can live with this.
Madison takes out her hand to Sakura as if she's demanding the ball Sakura holds.
Sakrua	Huh? (Gives Madison the ball)
Madison	Yeah, it's a great disguise.
Meanwhile, Jessie talks to the Dash Card she takes care of in a cage.
Jessie	How's your leg, Hoppy?
Then a ball comes fly to her yard.
Jessie	Hmm?
The Dash goes hide in the wooden house in the cage.
Sakrua	Hello? Anybody home?
Jessie	This yours, Sakura?
Sakrua	Jessie? You live here?
Jessie	Nice outfit. I didn't know the school had a baseball game today.
Sakrua	Oh.
Jessie	Sorry I can't come watch... but I just got back from practice. Big track meet coming up. I've been training really hard... (Handing the ball to Sakura)
Sakrua	Thanks.
Jessie	... to get a qualified time.
Sakrua	Yeah, I heard about that. Sure hope you make it. Good luck.
Jessie	Thanks. Good luck in the game.
Sakura walks back the way, and when she turns the corner Madison walks up to her.
Madison	You didn't get the Dash Card?
Sakrua	No. I guess it's back to the drawing board, Madison.
Further next day after school, sprinters are on training.
Sakrua	Jessie says the track meet trials are next week, but she needs a faster time.
Coach	On your marks. Get set. Go!
Jessie and her teammate start to dash. Jessie looks out of her shape.
While Jessie is taking a rest, Sakura comes up to and talks to her.
Sakrua	Hi, Jessie.
Jessie	Hi.
Sakrua	So, how's it going?
Jessie	Huh? It's OK. I'm going to qualify. Mind over matter, right?
Sakrua	Yup. Um...
Coach	Jessie! Come on. Let's do it again. You ready?
Sakrua	Uh...
Coach	Let's go!
Jessie	OK.
Madison	Wow, she's sure training hard.
Sakrua	Uh-huh.
This time, Jessie seems, to Sakura, to be surrounded by some mysterious aura.
Sakrua	Huh?
Coach	On your marks. Get set. Go!
Jessie dashes up much faster than the last time, as if she has gained some power from the aura.
Sakrua	Hey, look.
The coach clicks the stopwatch and takes a look.
Coach	What? Incredible, Jessie!
Jessie	Huh?
Coach	That's a personal best for you.
Jessie invites Sakura and Madison to her house. She talks to her mother sweeping the porch.
Jessie	Guess what, Mom? I ran my best time ever today.
Mom	Honey, that's wonderful.
Jessie lets Sakura and Madison in the living room.
Jessie	Come on. Eat up. It's a celebraion. This animal I've found's brought me good luck and it's not getting out of my sight.
Sakrua	Great.
Jessie	I mean, just to be able to run in the interschool track meet that's what I dream about.
Kero	I dream about cake.
Sakrua	Uhh...
Jessie	Hey, you guys have got to meet him. His name is Hoppy.
Sakrua	Oh.
Kero	Hoppy?
Sakrua	No! We got to go.
Sakura jumps on her feet, so Kero falls onto the table.
Kero	Ow!
Madison	We do?
Sakrua	Besides, you can't show us your good luck charm. They say that it's bad luck.
Jessie	Oh, OK.
Sakrua	Where's my backpack? Oh, there it is. Thanks very much for the cake and everything. We'll be rooting for you.
Jessie	Thanks. See you soon.
Madison follows Sakura out of Jessie's house.
On the way back, the three are talking in Reedington Park.
Sakrua	The Dash Card must be having some effect on her, Kero. She's never burned up the track like that.
Kero	The Card's getting stronger. Seal it, fast.
Sakrua	OK.
Meanwhile, the Dash Card is scare of something.
Jessie	Hey, Hoppy! Everything's OK. Why are you so spooked all of a sudden? There you go.
As Jessie rubs the Dash's back, it gets relaxed. It looks up at Jessie's face.
Jessie	Huh? (Laughs rubbing her cheek against the Dash)
In the sprinter's training, the coach is measuring the time.
Coach	Thirteen seconds? Jessie! That's a school record!
Jessie	Right on! I made it! I qualified! I did it!
Sakura and her friends are watching it from their classroom window on the second floor.
Madison	Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Sakrua	Sure am.
Chelsea	What's that?
Nikki	Big win.
Chelsea	Yeah! You know, I don't think a kid from our school has even qualified for the 100-meter dash in a long time.
Nikki	That's so cool, and she's only twelve. She's my hero.
Mackenzie	She tranins hard.
Chelsea	But Miss Mackenzie, she wasn't running like this last week.
Mackenzie	Maybe last week, she didn't believe she could. That can make a big difference.
Sakrua	Uh...
Sakura is trying to sneak out of the conversation.
Chelsea	Sakura, where are you going?
Sakrua	Uhh... Oh, nowhere.
Chelsea	I know whose fault it'll be if Jessie doesn't win.
Sakrua	What?
Chelsea	Ours! Let's go down to the field and cheer her on.
Sakrua	Oh, yeah, right. (Kind of feeling a relief)
Sakura is looking at Jessie training alone.
Coach	That's it for today. Good practice, Jessie. Congrats.
Jessie	Thanks.
Jessie finds out Sakura watching her.
Jessie	Sakura.
Sakrua	Hail to the champ. (Bowing)
Jessie	Not yet, but I'm sure working on it. Before, I was even sure I would qualify. Now I want to win.
Sakrua	That's great.
Coach	Jessie! Time to stretch!
Jessie	Be right there. I can't beleive the meet is just three days away, and I'm in the best shape ever.
Sakrua	Good luck.
Jessie	Thanks!
Sakura, Madison, and Kero are in Reedington Park in the twilight.
Kero	Well, if she's at practice all the time, you can capture the Dash Card without any problem. Right, Sakura?
Madison	Sakura?
Sakrua	I can't do it.
Kero	What? Excuse me?!
Sakrua	Kero, I want to wait till the track meet's over before I seal the Card.
Kero	Look, the longer you wait, the stronger that Card'll be, my friend.
Sakrua	Yeah, I know that, but Jessie thinks that the Dash Card is some stray animal that's bringing her good luck, and she's really been working hard at this, Kero.
Kero	Hey! Who made you coach of the year? Last time I looked, you were a Cardcaptor.
Sakrua	I am going to do it when I'm ready, Kero.
Kero	But, Sakura...
Sakrua	No, Kero.
Kero	Ahh.
Kero is following and trying to persuade Sakura who is walking frustratedly fast.
Kero	Listen, somethimes the choice you have to make isn't the choice you want to make, Sakura.
Sakrua	Oh, Kero.
She loses a word, and stops.
That night, when she is in the living room, Aiden talks to her.
Aiden	Hey, Sakura, I see that today's paper has a photo of that sprinter from your school.
Sakrua	Really?
Aiden	She sounds like a real champion.
Sakrua	Breaking school record.
Aiden	This track meet will have plenty of press coverage. A win could mean an awful lot for that young girl. (Smiles)
Sakura smiles back at Aiden, nervously.
After school, cheerleaders are practicing for the track meet Jessie is supposed to attend.
Captain	Ready? OK!
Cheerleaders	Hey! Hey! You can't get past! Hey! Hey! You'll end up last! Hey! Hey! You can't get past! Hey! Hey! We run too fast! Reedington! Reedington! Rah! Rah! Rah!
Chelsea	Hey, I think Jessie's getting ready to run.
Nikki	All right.
Sakrua	Great.
At the moment Jessie kneels down at the mark, the Dash Card sends some powers from her house to her. Sakura can sense it.
Sakrua	Huh?
Boy	Go!
Jessie and her teammate start to dash, and Jessie runs incredibly fast.
Chelsea	Unreal.
Nikki	That's amazing.
Meanwhile, Li and Meilin are carrying a pile of books into the classroom. At the moment Li puts them on a desk, he senses some powers going on in the playgroud.
Meilin	Thanks a lot, Li. That's all of them. (Notices Li look aside) Hello?
Li steps to the window to look outside.
Meilin	What are you looking at?
Li	Um, nothing. I hope.
Coach	Two days till the meet, Jessie. How do you feel?
Jessie	Like a winner!
Moore	OK, come on, girls. Let's try those flips again.
Cheerleaders	OK! Sure! Great!
Sakrua	Hmm.
Back at Jessie's house, Jessie pets the Dash out of the cage.
Jessie	You're much better, aren't you?
Dash	Squeak.
Jessie	Thanks for the good luck. Hoppy, you're the best thing that ever happened to me. I just wish I could figure out a way for you to come to the big track meet with me.
Meanwhile, Sakura and Madison are going back home, when Kero is talking to Sakura out of her backpack.
Kero	Sakura, you have to seal the Dash Card now before it starts to create some real chaos. Hah, this has gone on long enough. You're a Cardcaptor. You're supposed to capture Cards.
Madison	Hey.
Kero&Sakura	Huh?
Sakrua	It's Li.
The three see Li look for a Clow Card using his Lasin Board.
Sakrua	With the Lasin Board. It's found a Clow Card... and it's pointing... to Jessie's house.
At Jessie's house, the Dash Card is hopping in the yard.
Jessie	You are getting healthy. Maybe you can help me work on my high jump.
Sakura is running after Li.
Kero	Well, you waited too long.
Li is already in front of Jessie's house, where the Lasin Board tells him a Clow Card is inside.
Li	It's here.
Inside the fence, the Dash Card hops high in the air.
Jessie	Whoa!
The Dash lands on the fence, Li finds.
Li	The Dash Card.
Sakura rushes into the scene Li is staring at the Dash Card.
Sakrua	Huh? Ohh! Li, wait!
Li	Dash Card!
The Dash Card finds two carpcaptors just behind, so it makes a run for it.
Jessie	Hoppy!
Li	Stop!
Sakrua	No!
The Dash making a run in the forest, and Li is running after it.
Sakrua	Li, you can't.
Li	Wha- Force, know my plight. Release the light! Lightning!
Li's lightning magic keeps attacking the Dash Card, but it barely avoid the direct shocks. But eventually, in the way, the Dash is coming toward Sakura.
Kero	Come on, Sakura. Seal it now!
Sakrua	But it's two more days until the big meet.
Kero	Even if she does win, Sakura, she'll be winning because of the magic, not because of her own strength. It would be like a lie, Sakura. What kind of friendship is that, huh?
Sakrua	I...
Madison	Sakura.
Li	It's coming this way.
Sakrua	Sorry, Jessie.
Li	It's right there!
Kero	Sakura!
Sakrua	Key of Clow! Release!
The key turns into a wand, and Sakura quickly grabs it and holds it up.
Sakrua	Dash Card, return to your power confined!
The Dash Card turns into a Card squeaking, and finally flies over to Li's hand. Sakura is depressed.
Li	You knew this Card was around here the whole time?
Sakrua	Yeah.
Li	Well, why didn't you just seal it?
Sakrua	Uh...
Jessie	Hoppy! (Calling from a distance) Hoppy, come back! Hoppy! Hoppy!
Seeing Jessie calling the Dash Card, Sakura feels very sad and sorry.
Li	Hmm.
Sakrua	Oh. (Droops her head)
Kero	You had to.
Next day after school.
Chelsea	Big race tomorrow!
Nikki	See you there!
Sakrua	Bye.
Sakura walks to the playground to see Jessie on training, who looks kind of sad.
At the track meet, Sakura is in the stadium for cheerleading.
Chelsea	See that? Jessie's in the finals!
Nikki	She's gonna win!
Sakrua	Mmm.
Sakura looks at Jessie, and despite of her good run Jessie doesn't seem happy, she's head down.
Madison	She's been training really hard, Sakura. I think she's going to do just fine.
Sakrua	Uh-huh.
Announcer	Take your places for the girls' 100-meter final.
Coach	Relax. Just run your race.
Jessie	OK.
As soon as Jessie takes her place, she sees the Dash at the goal.
Jessie	Huh?
So does Sakura, she gasps. The Dash vanishes in a few seconds.
Jessie	Hoppy.
Sakrua	You can do it, Jessie!
Jessie	(Hears Sakura) Hmm.
Judge	On your marks. Get set.
The starter pistol goes, and all the ace sprinters begins the competition. Jessie speeds up running, and gets ahead of the others, and reaches the goal first.
Sakura finds Li in the bleachers, but he soon get out in the corridor. She runs up to catch him.
Sakrua	Li, wait up! Li, did you just release the Dash Card?
Li	Are you telling me you think Jessie won because she used Dash's speed?
Sakrua	Huh? But...
Li	You know, I'm really surprised you'd think something like that. I didn't do anything. I just happened to have the Dash Card with me.
Li flashes the Dash Card smiling, and walks away.
Sakrua	Jessie didn't win because of any magic. She won on her own ability after all.
Announcer	And the girls' 100-meter goes to Jessie Hamilton of Reedington Elementary School.
Sakura runs back to the bleachers with joy, when Jessie is delighted on the victory stand.
Jessie	Yeah!
Cheerleaders	Jessie! Jessie! Jessie! Yay!
Jessie	Hey, Sakura! Ha ha ha!
Sakrua	Jessie! Way to go!
