The Sealed Card — Unexpected Reunion

In a deserted masion up a hill, a power arises from underneath the floor that blows up the chair located above. There is a crack on the floor through which something glowing is seen. With a closer look the rectangle is a Clow Card!

At full moon, Yue is standing with his arms cross in Penguin Park. Keroberos appears spreading his rich wings. Between them in the center did Sakura stand up dressed in a lilac outfit in a design for stars.
Sakura Key that hides the power of the stars, show your true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. Release!
Sakura grabs the staff which turned in from the key as she twirls it in front, behind, and above.
Sakura Jump!
When Sakura jumps into the air, a dragon in blaze swirls around her. She takes out another Cards to release.
Sakura Watery!
Water comes out from the Card to sprinkle upon and extinguishes the blase of dragon, when she landed. Next, a crystalline dinosaur attacks her.
Sakura Sheild!
She block its first blow with the shield, and immediately Yue cuddle her to avoid another attack, when Kerberos breathed fire on the enemy. Subsequently, Yue shoots an arrow that finally destroys it. All of a sudden, the ground vibrates as a golem stood up behind the three.
Sakura Sword!
Sakura jumps up high and cut it through from head to crotch, then the golem breaks into debris.
Actually, that was a video produced by Tomoyo. She claps her hands when the video is over.
Tomoyo That was an awesome movie, wonderful!
Sakura There was even background music in it.
Tomoyo Of course, I took the liberty of adding it during editing. That was difficult to find music I was to time it perfectly to the contents of each sequence. That it was all for you. It was worth time of efforts.
Sakura Hoeee...
Kero Man, look at that. I'm a stud if I do say so myself. Now, one more time. [Presses play button]
Sakura Kero.
Tomoyo But if it weren't for your obvious bravery on screen presence I would never have been able to shoot such a marvelous footage.
Sakura Come on, you're embarrassing me.
Tomoyo There's no reason for you to feel embarrassed. After all, you were able to turn all the Cards into Sakura Cards in you've also grown into a great magical girl in the process.
Kero But she's never gonna outgrow her habit of being late even though she's in the sixth grade.
Sakura Kero!
Kero Hahaha. Anyway the stuff really looks awesome! Creating turned not to be too shabby the bad guy, either.
Sakura I borrowed a ton of fantasy novels from Naoko and kind of based creating some of the monsters I read about.
Tomoyo Now that Hiiragizawa has gone and there were no more incidence left to handle. and a little bit of screen writing in exaggeration is unavoidable.
Kero You're a pretty scary person, Tomoyo.
Tomoyo I always take every opportunity to record Sakura when she wears the clothes I made just for her. The choice is untimately mine. Hohohoho.
Sakura Hauuu...
The video comes to an end.
Kero Hey, what other Cards did you want to record us capturing, Tomoyo?
Tomoyo Babble and Dash and Float, too, and perhaps Freeze. Oh, Change would be nice, too.
Kero I'm not touching that one. There's no way I got to switch with the kid again.
Tomoyo Then how about Flower?
Sakura Syaoran...
Kero Wait! How does Sweet sound to you? It'll be yummy at least.
Tomoyo Heh heh heh.
Syaoran Hey!
Sakura Hmm?
The card capture of the Bubble Card is on the video.
Syaoran Watch yourself. It's coming back.
Sakura Right.
Tomoyo Oh, it seems there was an unedited scene left on this tape.
Kero Hey, look! I'm in this scene, too. Man, am I a cool looking beast or what?
Sakura Aaaah!
Syaoran Petals of wind, answer my call!
Now hurry up and seal it!
Sakura Right! Return to the guise you're meant to be in! Clow Card!
Tomoyo It's almost hard to believe that it's already 4 months since Li returned to Hong Kong.
Sakura Umm.
Syaoran Are you all right?
Sakura Yeah.
Syaoran I'm glad.
Sakura You knew about it but then, didn't you, Tomoyo? What Syaoran's feeling really were.
Tomoyo Yes, I knew.
Sakura I was the only one who didn't realize it.
Tomoyo I'm quite certain that Li fell in love with you precisely because of that unsophisticated aspect of yours.
Sakura But you know, Syaoran had told me that he liked me almost right before he had to go back to Hong Kong. So I haven't still had a chance to tell him what my feelings are yet.
Tomoyo What about telephone or even through out a letter?
Sakura [Shakes head] When Syaoran had told me how he felt he did it in person. That's why I want to see him and tell him the right way.

Sakura wakes up late in the morning.
Sakura Hoeeee! I'm gonna be late!
Sakura runs all around her room to change into her uniform.
Kero It looks like you're back to usual pattern again today.
Sakura It's because of summer vacation I used to waking up late.
Kero Huhhh. Today must be one those summer class sessions, huh?
Sakura Mm-hmm. It's for Nadeshiko festival.
Kero Yaaawn. You serious? The festival that takes over the whole city, right?
Sakura Yeah, Class 6-2 is representing Tomoeda Elementary by doing a play Naoko wrote the script.
Humm!
Sakura finishes tying her hair and runs to her desk.
Kero So what kind of part-ie are you playing in it, Sakura?
Sakura I-I'll be playing the princess.
Kero Wow! The princess, that means you've got the lead role! Now I definitely gotta find a way to see it.
Man, I remember that kid got to be the princess at another time you guys had a play. Hahahaha. Jeez, that was a horrible sight, alright?
Sakura takes out some Sakura Cards and sees it relaxed.
Kero Uh, by the way, Sakura. Are you gonna go to school just like that?
Sakura in fact is in her uniform from the waist, but still in PJ instead of her skirt.
Sakura Huh? Hoeeeeee!!
In the kitchen, Fujitaka and Touya can hear Sakura's scream and crashing sound.
Touya Huhh...
Fujitaka is making sandwitches for breakfast, when she runs into the kitchen.
Sakura Good morning!
Fujitaka Good morning, Sakura.
Sakura Good morning. [to picture of Nadeshiko]
When Sakura sit at the table, Touya brings her breakfast.
Touya Late morning. [Takes seat]
Sakura Hey! It's Good Morning!
Touya Late morning, monster.
Sakura Would you stop calling me that?! [Grasping fist]
Fujitaka Now, now, stop fighting, you two. You'll all be late if you don't hurry up and eat. [Takes seat]
Shall we get started?
Sakura Yeah, let's.
Three It's time to eat now.
The three starts eating breakfast.
Fujitaka By the way, Sakura, don't your sessions start in the afternoon? You look like you're going early today.
Sakura Mm-hmm. We've only got a week left after all, and there's some spots I'm not good, so I have to practice those parts in the play through a.m.
Fujitaka I'm looking forward to seeing you on stage.
Sakura Teh heh heh.
Touya The play starring a monster?
I guess the festival will... be a big mess this year.
Sakura Ugrrr.
Fujitaka And what's your plan?
Touya My college is to run an ice cream parler and I'll be helping out.
Sakura Uh, Yukito'll be helping, too?
Touya Come on, we do go to the same college, don't we.
Sakura All right! I'll have to make sure to stop by.
Touya Then I'll have to make sure to put some tabasco in your ice cream.
Sakura Ugh. Grrrrrrr!

On her way to school, Sakura can see people preparing for Nadeshiko festival over all the city.
Sakura Wow! Looks like the preparation coming out pretty well. The entire city of Tomoeda is really involved with the festival. I'm looking forward to it!
Sakura makes a stop where the stage is being built.
Sakura I guess this is the right place where the play is going to be held. Ooh, looking at this makes me nervous!
Oh, yeah. I'm gonna be late!
She restarts rollerblading to school.

When Sakura comes in her classroom, students are practicing their play.
Takashi Please, I beg you, dear my princess. Dry all your tears of sorrow. A smile will suits you better than...
Tomoyo Uh, Sakura, you are here.
Sakura I'm sorry for getting here so late.
Naoko Sakura. [Runs to Sakura with script] I added some lines to the play. Would you mind acting it out for me?
Sakura OK.
Naoko Right here. This is where the new lines begin.
Sakura All rigtht. I'll give it a try.
Naoko That's for you, Yamazaki. Start from where you are just now.
Takashi OK.
Naoko You can begin whenever you're ready.
Takashi Please, I beg you, my dear princess. Dry all your tears of sorrow. A smile will suits you better than anybody else. I ask you to please forgive me to cause you such sadness. However I cannot stop this feeling that is surging within me. I must admit that I've fallen in love with you.
Sakura Even so I... that is I...
Tomoyo [Videotaping] Teh heh.
Sakura I'm afraid that... my feelings toward you are...

Sakura and Tomoyo are walking aross the small bridge in the park.
Sakura Jeez, I can't believe how hard that I have to do. I'm so nervous since this is the first time I get a princess.
Tomoyo You're doing quite well. You've played the princess becoming more and more convincing with each passing rehearsal.
Sakura You really think so?
Tomoyo As one allowed to be at each day's rehearsal to record the process progress, I assure you that it's certainly the case.
Sakura Wow, thank you for saying so.
The two girls find a new ad on the bulltain board.
Sakura Hoe? Tomoeda Amusement Park?
Tomoyo It's been constructed at top of the hill in order I think of it?
Sakura Yeah, it's almost exactly where Eriol's house was.
I wonder if Eriol is doing all right.
Tomoyo Shall we visit it before going home tomorrow?
Sakura Hmm.

Late on that night, when Kero is already asleep, Sakura is practicing her lines one the bed.
Sakura It was as if my heart were not my own when I was with the prince. Even so I cannot allowed myself to fall in love, and yet to seems that I keep my own heart away from these feelings, for his gentle smile continues to linger in my memory. I long to see the prince once more. I long to see him and I long to confess him how my feelings truly are.
Kero Umm yumm... [sleeping]
Sakura Hmm?
Kero I still got some room for some more food... [sleeping]
Sakura chuckles. Soon she pressed the script on her chest and closes her eyes.
Sakura Oh, Syaoran.
Beside her, the deck of Sakura Cards glow without Sakura knowing it.
Meanwhile, the foot of the clock tower in the amusement park in construction glows before a powerful force climbs up the tower all of a sudden. There at top of the tower appears a sprit that looks like a little girl with long curly hair and wings, in a lonely look on its face.

Next day, Sakura and Tomoyo come to the amusement park that's yet to open.
Sakura I looks like Eriol's house is not around any more.
Tomoyo It does seem that way.
At this moment, Sakura gasped at a powerful presence she senses.
Tomoyo Is something the matter?
Sakura I thought I felt a presence.
Tomoyo Presence?
Sakura It's from inside... the amusement park?
Sakura starts to run into the park heading for where the presence comes from.
Tomoyo Sakura, wait!
Sakura This presence. I know it. This presense is a...
When Sakura turns at the ticket counter, she bumps into a boy. Luckily, he catches her by the hand from falling.
Sakura I'm sorry. I was looking the other way.
The boy she bumped into is Syaoran, to her very surprise.
Sakura Hoeee!
Syaoran Aaaa!!
Meilin What is it? Did something show up?
Meilin comes running out of a building.
Sakura Eh? Meilin, you're here, too?

Sakura and the others having an unexpected reunion, they went to Penguin Park. Sakura and Meilin sit on swings.
Sakura When did you arrive in Japan?
Meilin Just a few moments ago.
Sakura You should've let me know so I could've gone and picked you guys up.
Meilin Yeah, but I wanted to be quiet about it to surprise you.
Tomoyo hears her chuckling.
Sakura Well, on seeing you, you did surprise me.
Meilin Then the operation was a completely success.
Sakura Huh?
Meilin Never mind what I said.
So you're going to be in a play right?
Sakura That's right. It's showing in one week but will you be staying that long?
Meilin That's the plan. We're gonna have some fun together then.
And by the way, what I wrote about in my last letter that I sent you was really true.
Sakura Hoe?
Meilin I'm talking about Syaoran and I had our engagement cancelled. Syaoran told me he had got someone else he likes. I want somebody who'll like me but anybody else in the whole world. He also said that he asked her out, but he hasn't gotten any answer yet. Syaoran is still my cousin who is important to me. So I hope everything goes well for him.
Meilin and Tomoyo smile in unison.
Tomoyo Are those schools in Hong Kong on summer vacation as well?
Syaoran Yeah, Meilin just said one day that she wanted to go to Japan, and that's why we're here.
Tomoyo Tomoeda is having a festival soon after all.
Syaoran Daidouji, you and Meilin have been writing e-mails back and forth, haven't you?
Tomoyo That's right.
Syaoran Then you were the one who invited Meilin to come to Japan, right?
Tomoyo Have I troubled you at all?
Syaoran Umm... no, I just...
Tomoyo You did want to see Sakura again, didn't you?
Syaoran Of course I wanted to do. But being here will cause her problems. That's because just now she'll have to give me an answer.
Sakura Hey where will you and Syaoran be staying while you are here?
Meilin We were thinking of staying over in Miss Daidouji's place for now.
Sakura Oh, Tomoyo's. Then why don't you have dinner at my place tonight? I will do my best to cook something good.
Meilin That sounds great. But there's something else that Miss Daidouji's and I are supposed to do tonight. [Winks to Tomoyo]
Tomoyo Oh, of course. I nearly forgot.
Meilin Sorry. Maybe next time.
Sakura Mm-hmm. It's OK. I should've known you had another plans.
Meilin Since we're busy, would you mind treating Syaoran to dinner.
Sakura &\ Syaoran Wh-what?!

At sunset, Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Meilin are in front of Sakura's house.
Meilin Oh, Syaoran, I'll see you later at Miss Daidouji's place. Oh, shall we go now.
Meilin and Tomoyo walks off leaving Sakura and Syaoran.
Syaoran Hey, hold on it in a minute, Meilin!
Sakura Umm... does pasta sound good to you for dinner tonight?
Syaoran Yeah... souunds fine.
Seeing Sakura and Syaoran walking into Sakura's house, Tomoyo talks to Meilin.
Tomoyo Your graciousness is truly extraordinary, Meilin.
Meilin But I wouldn't have had to do it if those two weren't so dense.
Tomoyo It will be wonderful if Sakura can give Li her answer, and you agree?
Meilin That's true.

Sakura awkwardly guides Syaoran into the living room.
Sakura Uh, have a seat. I'm going to make some tea for you. Oh, we now have some cake here, too. My dad baked one this morning.
Syaoran heaves a sign sitting on a sofa, when Sakura takes out cake from the refridgerator and makes some tea.
Syaoran Do you need any help?
Sakura Huh? It's OK. I'm almost done. So just relax.
Syaoran Uh, all right.
Sakura brings tea and cake.
Sakura Thanks for waiting.
How much sugar?
Syaoran Ummm-uh... That's all right, I can do it myself.
Syaoran upsets the sugar pot accidentally, then Syaoran's and Sakura's hands touched when they tried to get it back.
Sakura &\ Syaoran Ah!
Syaoran S-sorry about that.
Sakura I-it's OK.
There is a silence between them, Sakura can only hear her heart beating.
Sakura Umm... you know, Syaoran... I wanted to tell you... that I... that I... when it comes to you, Syaoran.
Kero [Interrupts] Is that cake! I smell here!
Sakura &\ Syaoran Daah!
Sakura Kero!
Syaoran Keroberos!
Kero Hey, it's just you, kid? When d'you get back in town? Damn, well, you guys gonna eat that cake and try to keep it a secret from me?
Sakura No, we won't keep it a secret, Kero.
Kero Then why didn't you call me right away?!
Sakura I... I think I'd better get dinner ready. You must stay here to eat the cake.
Sakura runs out of the spot. Kero lands on the table and compare the cake on the respective two plates in turn.
Kero All right! This is the bigger one!
Syaoran Still as greedy as ever, I see.
Kero I'm not gonna switch even if you ask me my sweets.
Syaoran Yeah, right. I'm not like you!
Kero Watch what's your attitude. You're just a kid!
Syaoran Who're you calling a kid?!
Kero transforms into his true form and push Syaoran down on the sofa with his paw.
Kerberos Compare to an awesome creature like me, you're nothing more than a kid.
Syaoran Come on! Get off me, already!
Kerberos Since you are here, that means that brat's gotta be, too. I guess I'll show her what my sturdy true form looks like next time she shows up.
Syaoran Come on, move it!
Meanwhile, Sakura is boiling pasta in a pan.
Sakura My heart was racing so fast. I almost thought I wouldn't be able to breathe any more. But I have to tell him. I have to let Syaoran know how I feel. I was able to see him again after all.

Kero is delightfully eating the Neapolitan pasta made by Sakura.
Kero Yumm... man, I'm totally stuffed!
Syaoran Thanks a lot for the dinner.
Sakura You didn't think it was too bland, did you?
Syaoran No, not at all. It was delicious.
Sakura Oh, yeah? Sorry about making you help out with the cooking even thought you're a guest.
Kero The only thing the kid did was tear some lettuce.
Sakura That's a lot more than what you did, Kero.
Kero What are you talking about? I was busy finishing the cake.
Sakura That's helpful.
Kero When it comes to facing up to tasty food I'm always ready for the challenge.
Syaoran So just in other words, you're just a greedy little pig.
Kero You're trying to pick a fight, kid. You got, yeah!
Sakura Kero!
Kero [Sweatdrops] Looks like your life's been spared for today, kid.
Kero turns and shifts to his way back upstairs.
Sakura Where are you going?
Kero I've been playing video games in your room all day long my eyes giving out on me. It's still early but I'm gonna go to bed.
Kero goes upstairs---but soon he shows us again.
Kero But if you guys got any snack, you'd better call me down, OK?
Kero goes upstairs with some suspicion.
Sakura The only thing that he thinks about...
Syaoran ... is filling his big fat belly.
Sakura Hmm.
Finding to be left alone, the two gasp and feel nervous.
Sakura Uh, I was trying to say something before Kero interrupted us earlier.
I was saying... uh...
Touya [From the front door] I'm home!
Sakura Ho... eee...
Touya walks into the kitchen.
Touya What do you want for dinner, Sakura?
[Sees Syaoran] Why are you here?
Syaoran Mmmm.
Yukito [Walks behind Touya] Pardon me.
Sakura Oh, it's you, Yukito.
Yukito Hi, Sakura. Good evening.
Oh? [Sees Syaoran]
Syaoran smiles and bows.

Sakura I'll walk you to the bus station.
Syaoran I'm fine.
Sakura But...
Syaoran I'll be all right.
Syaoran walks down the steps at the porch.
Syaoran Thanks again for the great dinner.
Sakura Wait! Will you be coming to the school tomorrow?
Syaoran Yeah! I'd like to see Yamazaki and the others.
Sakura Then I guess we'll be seeing each other tomorrow.
Syaoran Yeah.
Sakura See you tomorrow. [Waves hand]
Syaoran See you tomorrow.
Sakura keeps seeing Syaoran off at the gate.

Meanwhile, Touya and Yukito are eating the pasta Sakura made.
Yukito You seem to be in a bad mood, Touya.
Touya I can't believe that little twerp's back in town.
Yukito But Sakura looked incredibly happy to have him around here again.
Touya And that's exactly why I'm so pissed off!
Yukito Hahaha, you have to admit that it's pretty hard to find Sakura anything but really really adorable.
Touya You shut up!

In Sakura's room where Kero is snoring with lights out, the Change Card floats out of the deck of Cards. It mysteriously glows before flying out through the window. Sakura standing at the gate of her house can't so much as notice the incidence.
Sakura Oh, Syaoran...
The escapting Card is floating in front of the spirit on the clock tower of the amusement park. The spirits like a girl looks still lonely, but slightly smiles.
