The Third Element

Summary

Sakura dozes off in class and has a dream, in which she stands on the rooftop of a building facing a radio tower and sees someone with long hair. When Sakura tells Madison about her dream on their way home, Madison advised her to ask Kero about it. But Sakura insist she should find the answer herself, because she think it is a test.

During the drill team tryouts next day, she feels anxious that Kero might leave her when she has captured all the Cards. Meilin said she should ask Li. Sakura is try to call Li on her cell phone, but she hesitates, so Kero push the speed dial button for her. However, the one who answer the phone is Julian, not Li, then she gets to go to the winter carnival with him.

Kero and Maidson secretly follow Sakura to videotape her in the carnival. Sakura and Julian meet Li and Meilin in the carnival. Acutually, Meilin is going to distract Julian, so Sakura and Li will be able to talk about Clow Cards. Four of them enjoy the attractions, before stopping for lunch, where Sakura plans to make a chart with Li about the Cards. Nevertheless, the illuminations on the wire catch on fire, and the fire spread. Li freezes the time with his Card, and Sakura has to make the people around them sleep with her Card before the Time magic breaks. The fire spread in the Wind Sakura called upon, then Kero appears to advise she has to use Windy and Watery at the same time, as it is the Firey Card, an attack Card, one of the four elements. Difficult as it is, Sakura tries the double release, and it works. Sakura finally has captured the Firey Card.

While Sakura and Julian are enjoying the Ferris wheel, Kero flies in and decorates the night sky by sprinkling the embers with his strengthened power due to the Firey Card.

Bloopers

• Why did Ms. Mackensie announce of the drill team tryouts of next day? Did she have something to do with the drill team?
• Why did all the kids in Sakura's class have to take the drill team tryouts?
• Did you know what Sakura wrote on the ground in the drill team tryouts. She wrote a hiragana that is pronounced "no," but I don't know what it meant.
• Does because Kero didn't like Li mean that he called Julian instead of Li, when Sakura wanted call Li? That didn't make sense.
• I understand that the Firey had the Windy spread its flames, but was Kero's remark convincible that the Firey would use the Water the same way?
• Poor Julian didn't tell the difference between snow and embers. Snow doesn't sparkle by itself like that.
