When Stars Fall

Summary

Sakura's gang come to Reedington High Festival to enjoy the movie Tori's class has shot under the direction by Ruby Moon. During the movie, Sakura thinks over that Tori has known about everything about Yue's strength. She can't help feeling something in common between what they are and their assigned role in the movie play. After the movie is over, Julian and Tori who now are famous in school attracts attention from girls; however Tori looks pretty exhausted, Sakura notices, because he's tired from the power transfer to Yue.

Sakura, Madison, Li, and Eli are guided to the courtyard by Julian and Tori, where there's a big parlar. When bringing soft drink, Tori shows hostitily to Li as ever, and looks suspiciously at Eli. But the clever boy with glasses pretends to know nothing about it. Pretty sleepy from the exhaustion, Tori walks back home apart from the gang. Eli, too, walks away when he says that he has things home to take care of.

Since Sakura's gang has not looked around the festival, Julian volunteers to show them around. They have a good time with games and a haunted house—Sakura is pretty scared of—until they come to the entrance of the Star Land. That is something like a planetarium which is Julian's class's another exibit. There, Ruby Moon welcomes the four customers with overactive gesture and spirit. As the first thing, Sakura and Julian are guided into the Star Land. Sakura is fascinated by the star decorations that form constellations. Looking at stars reminds her of what Clow Reed said to Sakura that her star is still tiny but it burns bright to light her own way. Noticing that Sakura is kind of depressed, Julian asks her what is wrong. She hesitatingly replies that she blamed herself that Tori had to give up all his power to Yue. Julian mentions that thanks to Tori, Yue is now strong enought to be able to protect her as if ansewering what her brother wanted. At this time, the strange power arises when the star decoration busts into pieces with cracking sound.
Did Sakura confess her feeling to Julian? No, she told that she worried if Tori would be feeling better soon. No wonder Sakura doesn't have romantic feeling to Julian unlike CCS. By the way, just before the stars exploded Sakura asks Julian to transform into Yue because she starts feeling something strange. In CCS, Yukito transforms into his true form on his own, though.

Julian turns into Yue to protect and assist the master of the Cards. Sakura transforms the Illusion Card and Maze Card into Star Cards; then the Star Land has turns into an illusional place of 3-D maze full of realistic stars. Pinpointing the source of the power, she starts running as Yue flies following her but she disappears from the sight. Outside, Li who has sensed the power, rushes into the Star Land. Although he kind of envies to know that Sakura is powerful enough to use the two Cards at a time, he keeps running cutting through the maze with his sword in search for Sakura. In the search, he bumps into Yue in the maze. On the other hand, Sakura finally finds the source of power; what she sees there is surprisingly Clow Reeds magic circle on which stands Eli with his wand. Although pretty impressed by her magical power, he makes her faint with his magic since it isn't the time yet she know his identity.
Characters in CC are competitive. Li kind of envied Sakura when he knew she used two Cards at a time.

Sakura is woken up by Li and Yue, when she doesn't remember what she saw at the source of the power, except that she saw the magic circle. On the way home, after Madison walks aparted homeward, Sakura motions Li into the park for something to talk. She depressedly mentions that Tori hast lost all his powers because she didn't have enough powers to keep Yue in his strength. Li tries to cheer her up, saying transforming the Cards needs a great deal of powers. Thinking there're not many Cards to be transformed, Sakura is beginning to wonder what will happen next when she has transformed all the Cards.
The last scene in the park is completely changed from CCS. Sakura in CCS talked to Syaoran about her broken heart in a train of tears. In CC, the scene of tears is not necessary so it was editted out by Nelvana.

Bloopers

Unlike CCS, Sakura's heart-broken story is never in the show because she doesn't have a crush on Julian from the first place. Sakura and Li devote themselves into Cards and magic. Anyway, I found these trivia in this episode:
