Today was the first day of school. I was attending Reedington elementary as a fourth grader. The uniform wasn't that bad, though did I really have to wear a skirt? Of course, because in every school the uniform for girls always had skirts. I didn't know of a school that allowed girls to have pants for the inform. I really couldn't complain much though. It was part of the school so I couldn't do anything about it.

I decided to walk to school today. Not that I had any other way of transportation to get to school. As I walked I started thinking about the strange dream I had had yesterday. It was one of the most bizarre dreams that I had ever had. I mean I had a book with a weird lion on the cover and then there were cards inside. Shaking my head, I continued to walk as I fixed my bag. Passing by penguin park I eyed Tori, "Hey Tori!" I yelled out to him. He just stared at me, almost like a glare but not quite. I quickly walked over to him, "Are you mad at me or something?" I questioned knowing that he wasn't but it was just fun to bother him about it.

Tori just rolled his eyes and then looked at me with those weird cat-like eyes of his. I looked at him emotionless before chuckling softly. He was like a brother to me, "Anyway I gotta get going, bye." I quickly said my goodbyes before I started to walk once again. As I left Tori I saw Julian walk up to him, I felt my cheeks flare up a little. I never understood why I blushed whenever I saw him. It was weird though.

I quickly ran to the school, I didn't want to be late on the very first day. Soon enough I was at the gates of the school, I must have been early because they were just about to open. I smiled a little before I walked in, "Reedington..." I murmured softly, it sounded so familiar. I didn't know why but it did, it was like I have heard and seen the school before, I just didn't know where exactly. As much as I thought about it, I didn't get a clue so I just shrugged off the thought and the feeling.

I walked up to my class after changing my shoes. Walking into the class I saw a girl. "Oh, hello there." Walking over to my desk, of my choosing which of course was right next to the girl. "Hello." She replied back to me. "I'm Madison Taylor." Again that name seem really familiar. "I'm Krystal Woods, nice to meet you." I took off my bag and placed it on the back of my chair. This all seemed so familiar. I sighed mentally, "Likewise." Said Madison as she smiled at me.

The rest of the students started to file in and take a seat wherever they wanted. Well there were some seats open and empty so the class was sort of missing some students. Throughout the whole day I continued to have déjà vu moments. Everywhere I went and everyone I met, they seemed so familiar. I don't know why, it felt like I had met or seen all of these things before. I tried to think of some possible ways or times or memories but nothing came up.

The day was almost over so soon enough I was going to head home and I would start to look around everything I had to see if I had anything that would connect to today. Class was over and the bell rung. I got up and tidied everything up, placing all of my books and utensils back into my bag. "Hey Krystal?" Looking over I saw Madison. "Yes, Madison?" I asked, closing my bag and I placed it on. "Wanna go to a new store that just opened up?" I through about it for a moment, 'This shouldn't be so bad.' I gave a nod of my head and we both headed out of the school.

As we walked I continued to think about the whole experience of today. "So Madison..." I trailed off a bit, "Yeah?" She asked. 'Should I ask her? Maybe she would think that it's weird. I mean what's the coincidence that her name was Madison and she loves to work with cameras? I probably should..' I sighed mentally before biting my lip gently. "Tell me, do you by any chance love to sing and record with cameras?" Well now was the time that I would find out.

Madison giggled softly. "Well, that's a weird question to ask but, yes I do love to sing and cameras." My heart sunk at that, this couldn't be possible. There was no way, this is probably just a dream. "How come?" She added on, "Oh, no reason." I tried to put on a fake smile, it was an awkward smile though. "We're here!" I looked up to see a strange store. It didn't remind me of anything nor it was familiar. "It seems weird..." I remarked. "Haha, come on let's go in." She grabbed my hand and pulled me in.

The inside was a lot more creepier than the outside. "When did this store open up?" I questioned, "Uh..just today I think." I nodded. 'Well this seems strange. So it opened the week right after I moved here? Coincidence? I don't think so..' This was just weirding me out now. I walked around the store, seeing if anything looked interesting or something close to that.

I had to admit, Madison is a nice person. I have only known her for a day and I can say the least but were going to be great friends. I know that for sure. "Look at this Krystal." I heard her say, I walked over to her and saw that she was holding out a book. It seemed similar to the one that I had in my dream, "Oh, cool!" I took the book from her hand and looked at it. I saw the same drawing in the front, a lion. "I think...that you should buy that." Madison offered, I thought about it for a moment. "Hm, alright." If I had it, then that means that I need to get it.

We walked over to the register, Madison bought a couple of charm bracelets. "Oh, I see that this has caught your eye." Said the man that was behind the desk. I gave him a nod, my face was emotionless. I usually did that when I didn't know the person. "Well you can keep the book for free." He smiled as he handed me the book. "Are you sure? I mean, I can pay for it." The man just smiled and shook his head. "It's alright, there's no need for that." I smiled a little. "Thank you."

Madison and I walked out of the store and we headed home. "Well that was nice of the store owner to give you the book for free." Madison remarked, "Yeah, I guess..." I said softly. She then handed me one of the many bracelets she had gotten. "Well I gotta get home, I'll see you tomorrow at school alright." Nodding, she and I then parted ways.

I think that the book I had gotten was going to change everything I knew to this day. And all of these people that I had just met reminded me of something. I quickly raced home to see what the book was about. Racing past Tori's house and quickly turning the corner. Walking into the house I raced up to my room, saying a quick hello to mother.

I threw my bag onto the bed and started to look frantically throughout my room to find a clue of something. I spent about 20 minutes or so looking for anything until I finally found of the many Manga I had. It was a book from the series of 'Sakura Card Captor. ' I quickly skimmed through it. My eyes widened as I finished and quickly shut the book closed. 'I-I...can't believe this. How can it be? T-This was just an animated story. It's not suppose to be real!' I thought about it before I scrambled up and onto the bed. I grabbed my bag and quickly rummaged through it.

Taking out the book I had just gotten, I looked back from the Manga to the book. "This is a dream right...? This is not happening..." I said to myself, placing the manga next to me and taking the book in both of my hands. I looked at the lock, if it opens then that means that means that I'm a cardcaptor. I waited for a moment. It...didn't open. "Then I'm not a cardcaptor...but all of this makes sense now. Everything about the Reedington Elementary, about Tori and Julian, Madison and everyone else at school, and...about Li and Meilin."

As I continued to talk to myself and connect everything that has happened to me today and since I met Tori, the lock on the book opened. "Now I understand why I like Julian, it's probably because of the power he has. But then again...he is kinda cute." I smiled cheekily and my cheeks flared up a little, it was very visible due to my pale skin. "Oh, then there's Li..." My cheeks burn a deep red this time. "But I think he likes Sakura, right. Then again, I sat in Sakura's seat today. And for as long as I've known Tori, he hasn't mentioned anything about her."

I sighed and looked down at the book, noticing that the lock had opened. 'Wait, it opened. This means...I'm a cardcaptor?' I quickly opened the book and looked at the cards. I picked up the Windy card, though I forgot that I wasn't suppose to say the name out loud like Sakura had done. Oh, well too late! "Windy..." The cards started to glow. "Ah, crap!" The cards then started to rocket out of the book, a bright light made me place my arm over my eyes. "Why?..." I groaned out.

The light started to diminish and soon it was gone. "I'm such an idiot." I mumbled. Looking down I saw not even a single card except for the one I had in my hand. "Oh, great. Now just to wait for Keroberos." I placed the Clow book on the bed and waited for the little stuffed lion to appear. I spent a long time waiting for him because, I must have fallen asleep. The next thing I knew I was hearing someone, "Hey, girl. Wake up! Hello! I said wake up!" I groaned softly before I turned to my side. I felt something in my hand, my eyes quickly shot open. I scrambled to sit up on the bed before coming face to face with Keroberos, my face went paler than usual. "AHHHHH!..." My life has been turned upside down...

I own nothing, except for Krystal Woods. All copyrights goes to whoever made Sakura Card Captor. I already forgot who created it ^^" but anyway. I wanted to try to write this story because I just finished watching Sakura Card Captor and had this huge idea. This story doesn't have Sakura in it for a reason. So I hope you guys like it.
