| One morning in Reedington Elementary School, Kids are coming talking together with their friends. Madison who found Sakura calls her and runs up the stairs to catch up with her. | |
| Madison | Wait up, Sakura! Remember me, your best friend? |
| Sakura | Oh, sorry, Madison. |
| Madison | I've been trying to catch up to you. You look like the wheels just fell off your in-line skates. |
| Sakura | Oh, no, I'm OK. |
| Madison | You should be feeling great 'cause of your Card capture last night. |
| Sakura | Yeah, well... |
| Sakura remembers the night before. | |
| Li | Force, know my plight. Release the light! |
| Li uses his magic to shoot the Thunder down on the roof of School. | |
| Li | You are looking at Raiju, the Thunder Beast. Boy, you are hopeless. |
| Sakura |
Back off. The Windy Card'll take care of this. Here. |
| Li | Put it away. Windy can't stand up against Thunder. |
| Li gets ready to blow the Thunder with his magic. | |
| Li | Lightning! |
| Madison | But then you went ahead and captured the Thunder Card with your Shadow Card and proved to Li Showron that you deserve to be a Cardcaptor, so cheer up, Sakura. |
| Sakura | I really want to be good at this, but it's all so new to me. |
| Sakura shifts into another flashback mode, remembering just back when she is taking up the Thunder Card she had sealed. | |
| Li | Boy, it's like I said. You really don't have a clue about this, do you? |
| Kero | I was appointed by Clow Reed himself. |
| Li | A lot of good that did. |
The memory of the night before gets Sakura down in depression. | |
| Sakura | Don't you see, Madison? If Li hadn't shown up when he did, I could have been in big trouble. |
Rita talks to the two when Sakura and Madison go into the classroom. | |
| Rita | Hi, Madison. |
| Madison | Morning, Rita. |
| Rita | Hey, how are you doing, Sakura? |
| Sakura | Oh, I'm all right. |
| Rita | What's that about? |
| No sooner has Sakura taken her seat, Li comes into the classroom. | |
| Sakura | Huh? |
| Li walks to his seat silently, when Sakura is getting nervous. | |
| Sakura |
Oh! Uh, look, Li... Last night, thank you... for your help. |
| Li | Huh? |
| Sakura | I mean, I appreciate you being there, but I won't need your help next time. |
| Li | It's like I said. You don't have a clue. You're no Cardcaptor. |
| Sakura | What?! |
| Sakura gets puzzled at Li's response the way she has not ever expected, when he sits down on his seat. Sakura is trying to cheer up. | |
| Sakura | Well, then maybe you can tell me why I was chosen to open the Clow Book if I'm not a Cardcaptor. |
| Li | Huh? |
| Sakura | I mean, it's not like I've been studying this my whole life, like some people. And I know I don't have robes. |
| Li |
Hmm?! (Jumping on his feet) Those are the Li family's ceremonial robes. You have no right to talk about them. |
| Sakura | Hey, take it easy, Li. Come on. |
| Li | Don't mess with things you don't understand, Sakura. |
| The air is getting stuffy with a tension, so Madison stands up forward to relax those two. | |
| Madison | Well, I... |
| Zachary | Hey, Li. |
| Sakura | Zachary! |
| Zachary | I'm class president, and you're new around here. |
| Li | So? |
| Zachary | I assign classroom duties. You have to clean up, wash up, and brush up. |
| Sakura and Madison go blank and collapse with Zachary asking Li a favor that doesn't make sense. | |
| Li | Am I supposed to do all of that right this mimute? |
| Zachary | Mm-hmm. |
| Sakura | Boy, for once, Zachary's tall tales save the day. |
| Madison | Perfect. |
| Zachary | Come on. Let me introduce you to the blackboards. |
| When Zachary takes Li's hand to the blackboard, Sakura breathes a sigh of a releaf. | |
| Zachary | How do you feel about gum removal? |
| Li | Hmmm. (Groaning) |
That afternoon, Sakura is dreaming, where she is standing on the top of a building facing to a big tower, in a pink costume, with Kero floating beside her. | |
| Sakura |
Who's that? Who is that? |
| Sakura jumps off the building. | |
| Terada | Miss Avalon! |
| Mr. Terada wakes up Sakura who is dozing off in class. | |
| Sakura | Huh? Aah! |
| Terada | Welcome back. |
| Sakura | Uh. Sorry about that. |
| Terada |
You woke up just in the nick of time, Miss Avalon.
The lesson is over. OK, class dismissed. |
| Girl | Good night, Mr. Terada. |
| Terada | Don't forget—test tomorrow. Rita, you need to pass this one. |
| Rita | I... I know, sir. |
| Madison | You're ready to go? |
| Sakura | I'm just waiting for Rita. |
| Madison | Huh? |
| At this moment, there is a thump just behind Sakura, which just creeps her out. | |
| Sakura | Aaah! |
| It is Li who has just stood up to go out of the classroom. | |
| Sakura | Whew. |
| Madison | Li is really creeping you out, isn't he? |
| Sakura | Yeah, I guess so. |
| Madison | Hey! How about this? Let's go hang at your house. |
| Sakura | Yeah. Rita's worried about the test, so we could help her study, and maybe get some blading in afterward. |
| Madison |
I really want you to teach me that new racing start of yours.
After we study, of course. Sakura? |
| Sakura | Sorry, Madison. I know I'm being a bit of a space case today, but it's nothing that a great 360 won't cure. Let's go. |
| Madison | I think I rather ride a hundred miles in a car with Li Showron than attempt a 360. Maybe we should just study. |
On their way home, Sakura, Madison, and Rita drop in on an accessory store. | |
| Sakura | Hold on guys. |
| Madison | Sakura, I gotta go in here. |
| Sakura&Rita | OK. |
| Madison | I've been wanting to check this store out. |
| Rita | This place sure has great stuff, Sakura. |
| Sakura | Yeah! |
| Sakura is fascinated by the brooches in the store. | |
| Sakura | Hmm. |
| Rita | And these brooches are beautiful. |
| Sakura | I know. |
| Sakura takes the one shaped like a heart with wings. | |
| Madison |
Well, I'd say you made a perfect choice. What do you think of this one? (Picking up the cross brooch) |
| Sakura | Oh. |
| Rita | That's cool. |
| Madison | Hey, you should get one, too, Rita. |
| Rita | I've gotta have this one. (Chooses the sword brooch) |
| Madison | I've never thought of you as the sword type. |
| Sakura | That's a whole new side to you. |
| Rita | Yeah. (Chuckles) |
| Sakura | It's pretty. |
Later on that day, Kero is playing a video game in Sakura's room. | |
| Kero | Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah! Come on! |
| Sakura | Kero, we've got company, so you can't come downstairs. |
| Kero | OK, OK, OK! |
| Kero clears the level. | |
| Kero | Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeeees! |
Downstairs, Rita is sitting on a sofa, when Sakura brings some tea for the three themselves. | |
| Madison | Terada really scared Rita. |
| Sakura | I know, but we're gonna help her. |
| Sakura puts the tea pot on the table. | |
| Sakura | Study time. All set? |
| Rita | First we eat, and then we review for the spelling test. |
| Sakura | Yeah, we work together on this, and we'll all ace it. |
| Rita | Thanks, guys. |
| Madison | No problem. That's what friends are for. |
| Sakura | Rita, let's start. First word is ``Parallel.'' |
| Rita | P-a-r-a-l-l-e-l. |
| Sakura | Great! OK, let's see now. How about ``Brooch''? |
| Rita | Um... hard one. (Eating pudding) |
| Madison | Maybe we ought to put them on for a little inspiration. |
| Three of them each opens the box of brooch they just bought, and put them on. | |
| Sakura | Ta-da! |
| Madison | B-r-o-a-... Um, b-r-o-a-w... |
| Sakura | So, what do you think, Rita? How do you spell ``Brooch''? |
| Rita | Well, mmm... |
| Sakura | Don't take too long, Rita. |
| As soon as Rita puts on her brooch, she gets strangely quiet. | |
| Sakura |
Huh? Rita? Rita? What's wrong with you? |
| Madison | Huh? |
| Rita shows her face up. There is something strange about her, she seems to be taken over by something. | |
| Sakura | What? |
| Soon, her sword brooch sends out bright light, and turns into a real sword. Rita controled by something unknown attacks and tries to stab Sakura with the sword. Sakura barely ducks away. | |
| No matter how many times she dodges the blow, Rita repeats her attacks to Sakura. She staggers out in the hall, Rita thrusts the sword toward Sakura. | |
| Sakura | Aaah! |
| Sakura slips her head so as to keep her life within a inch away from the sword sticking on the wall. She runs to the entrance, but she has trouble opening the door all because she is upset. | |
| Sakura | Come on! Come on! Open! C'mon! Aaah! |
| Sakura turns back, she can see Rita slowly walks up to her holding the sword. | |
| Sakura | Come on! |
| She finally succeeds in opening the door, she jumps out of her house, and she falls on the ground. | |
| Madison | Sakura! Oh, oh! |
| Kero | I sense a Clow Card around here. |
| Kero hurriedly comes downstairs, but he sniffles something else he senses as well. | |
| Kero | Hey! Wait a minute! I smell pudding! |
| Madison | Not now, Kero! Sakura's in trouble! (Pointing outside) |
| Outside, Sakura is still busy dodging Rita's attack. | |
| Sakura | Rita, stop. |
| Kero | Sakura! |
| Sakura | What's going on? |
| Kero senses what's inside the sword making Rita attack Sakura. | |
| Kero |
Aaah! Yaw! That's the Sword Card! |
| Sakura | It can't be. Rita doesn't know anything about swords. |
| Kero | Yeah. That has got nothing to do with it, Sakura. The Sword Card has taken complete control of her. Sakura, use the key to capture the Card. |
| Sakura | I can't! |
| Madison | You've got to do it, Sakura! |
| Sakura | Rita's my friend! Aah! |
| Sakura sidesteps Rita's sword attack, but she trips and rolls on the ground. She quickly stands on her feet. | |
| Kero | Right now! |
| Sakura | Key of Clow. Power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite! Release! |
| The key turns into a wand, she grabs and twirls it. The she holds the wand forward. | |
| Sakura | Jump! |
| Kero | What are you, nuts? |
| She jumps over Rita onto the fence, and begins running on the fence. | |
| Kero | You don't play nice-nice with Sword Card staring you in the face, Sakura. Whoa, Rita may be your friend, but the Sword Card is most definitely not. Now, go get it! |
| Sakura barely jumps away from Rita's flick of sword, she land on the fence behind a mirror. Unfortunately, Rita's next blow cuts it into two, | |
| Kero | Need I say more? |
| Rita jumps to attack Sakura. | |
| Sakura | Rita! |
| Sakura can't do anything against Rita's attack but closes her eyes with fear. But another sword, all of a sudden, pokes between Rita's sword and Sakura to save her life. It is Li. | |
| Li | Hopeless. |
| Sakura | Hi, Li. |
| Li | I'll stop her. |
| Li jumps off the fence, and holds his sword facing to Rita. | |
| Sakura | Li, no! |
| Sakura jumps behind Li to prevent him from attacking back at Rita. | |
| Sakura | No! |
| Li | What are you doing? |
| Kero | Here, Sakura! |
| Rita tries to stab Sakura, then she escapes jumping high in the air, holding Li. | |
| Sakura | I don't need you here! |
| Li | You're no Cardcaptor. |
| Sakura&Li | Aaaaah! |
| Two of them fall onto the plant in Sakura's house's yard. | |
| Madison | Huh, are you two all right? |
| Sakura | Yeah, no thanks to him. |
| Li | Listen! I almost had her, Sakura. |
| Sakura | I'm not going to let you hurt Rita. |
| Sakura and Li exchange glares. | |
| Kero | No one has to get hurt if you can get that sword out of Rita's hands pronto! |
| Sakura | OK! (Running out to Rita) |
| Madison | Sakura? |
| Li | What are you doing? |
| Sakura | I'm gonna capture this Clow Card. Stay out of it! |
| Li | She can't handle it. Yeah! |
| Kero bites Li's hand to prevent his path. | |
| Kero | Cool it, kid! |
| Sakura |
Illustion Card. Now. Let Rita see what she fears the most. Illusion. Release and dispel! |
| The Illusion shows Rita something in a human figure. Rita is looking into it motionlessly. | |
| Rita | Mr. Terada. |
| Sakura |
(Gasps) The Sword! |
| Sakura quickly runs toward Rita, and drops the Sword off her hand, and then Rita, losing the control, falls unconciousness. Sakura catches Rita falling. | |
| Sakura | Sword Card. Return to your power confined! |
| The Sword is sucked up to the tip of the wand and turns into the form of a card. The Card spontaneously flies to Sakura's hand. | |
| Kero | Nice job! |
| Madison | You captured it! |
| Sakura | Rita, you OK? |
| Li | She fainted, that's all. |
| Kero | I'd like to point out... that Sakura did not need your help on that one, kid. |
| Li | Everyone knows that Sword Card's an easy capture, but then again, you're just a stuffed animal. |
| Kero | Stuffed animal?! (Bits Li's finger) |
| Li | Aaaaah! (Trying to shake Kero away) |
| Sakura | Kero! |
| Madison | Sakura, someone's coming! |
| Sakura |
Uh-oh. Kero, disappear! |
| Kero let go of Li, but he kicks Li on his face when he goes hiding. | |
| Li | Huh? Aaah! |
| Julian |
Hi, guys.
I was suppose to meet up with Tori here, but that overachiever's
probably still at work, huh? Hmm? What happened? |
| Sakura | Uh... |
| Sakura doesn't know what to answer, while she's holding Rita unconcious. Li is also not on his feet. | |
| Sakura | Oh, nothing. |
| Julian |
Oh. Whoa. (Notices Li's robe) Hey, uh, cool outfit. |
| Li runs away from Julian. | |
| Li | Aaaaah! |
Next morning, Rita is reading a book in the library, when Sakura comes up to her. | |
| Sakura | Rita, how are you? |
| Rita |
Oh, hi, Sakura. That was so weird yesterday.
I can't believe I fainted like that. It's like I don't remember a single thing. I don't suppose my brooch ever turned up, did you? It's strange. |
| Sakura |
Aaaah... (Getting upset) No, uh, but here. (Handing in something to Rita) |
| Rita |
Oh. Thanks. Umm, should I open it here? |
| Sakura | Mm-hmm. |
| Rita finds Sakura's brooch is inside. | |
| Rita | Sakura, you didn't have to do this. |
| Sakura | I felt really badly that yours just seemed to disappear like that, so I just thought maybe this would make you feel better. |
| Rita | You're such a good friend. |
| Sakura | I really want you to have it. |
Later on that day in the afternoon, in the corner of Tori's high school, Tori and Julian are talking. | |
| Tori | What?! That kid gangs up on my sister, then come by my house? |
| Julian | Yeah, but he sure left in a hurry. |
| Tori | Just wait till the next time I see him. |
| Julian | Hmm? What's this? Defending the squirt? |
| Tori | No one can hassle my sister but me. |
| Julian | Well, well. Big brother seems to have a soft spot. |
| Tori | Yeah, sure. |
| Julian | She's late. You're sure she said to meet here? |
| Tori | Yeah, she's always late, so she's gonna end up doing dinner and dishes for a week. |
| Julian | OK, you don't have a soft spot. |
| Meanwhile, a charm card flies at Tori on the arm, and catches on fire. | |
| Tori | Ugh! (Putting out the fire) |
| Li | You wanted to see me? (Standing on the fence) |
| Tori | I do. |
| Sakura is running to Julian, who is waving hand to her. But beside him, Tori and Li are exchanging provocatiove look. | |
| Julian | Hey, over here. Is Rita feeling better? |
| Sakura |
Uh, fine. Thanks a lot for helping us out, Julian, you know, for carrying Rita inside the house. Umm, here. (Giving Julian a gift) |
| Li | What?! But I'm the one who... |
| Julian | You know, you didn't have to. (Seeing what's inside) |
| Li | Uhhh... |
| Sakura | We were lucky you came by. |
| Li runs away from where he is. | |
| Tori | Huh? Hey! |
| Li climbs over the fence, and runs away. | |
| Tori | Oh, chocolate, huh? |
| Julian | Yeah, sure. Help yourself. |
| At the next minute, Madison appears and talks to Sakura. | |
| Madison |
Hey, Sakura. I'm gonna redegign my website. You want to help? I've got to upload some new video clips. But first, I have got to tell you something. (Whispering in Sakura's ear) The video clips are of you capturing the Thunder Card last night. |
| Sakura | (Gasps) |
| Madison | Just kidding. I needed something new for the home page, and this'll be perfect. Hee hee! |
| Madison is holding up her camera to tape Sakura. | |
