4. Sakura's Exhausting Sunday

Sakura almost forgets that she is supposed to do the housekeeping chores on this Sunday, and she planed to go on a picnic with Tomoyo to the Forest Park. Touya and Fujitaka reminds her of her turn, so she has to take a rain check.

On the Sunday, Sakura begins cleaning her house, and Kero helps her with landry. In cleaning the house, she is lucky to find two Cards: Rain and Wood. However, Fujitaka phones home and tells Sakura to bring his forgotten stuff to the bus stop, then Sakura goes out leaving the Cards without signing her name on them.

After Sakura gets back home, her basement rumbles, from which trees are rapidly come out. Sakura and Kero are tied up by the tree and sent to her entrance hall. That is the work of the Wood Card getting activated because she did not sign it. At this time, Tomoyo visits Sakura and set them free from the tree. Immediately, she gets on her feet and seals the Wood, but soon it becomes active again. Driven by the growing Wood, they finally comes out on the balcony. It was that Wood was looking for a sunshine, but it is still growing. It will destroy Sakura's house unless she does something urgently.

Changing into the battle costume Tomoyo brought to Sakura, she gets down into the basement, where she finds out Rain also is at work. It innocently pours rain inside the basement, which causes the Wood to grow so rapidly. Sakura has the Watery Card trap Rain inside the water ball before sealing it. Tame as it is, the Wood Card shows its visible form like a fair woman, and turns into a card on its own.

Sakura has to tidy up the mess afterwoods, and Tomoyo helps her with the chores. She is pretty exhated and takes a nap when Touya comes home.
