So this is my first attempt at a CCS fic, and I really hope you guys are going to enjoy it. It's funny, but also serious at times, dealing with problems we all know happen in a high school, but are too afraid to admit. But yeah... This is basically a rewrite of the original story with more drama and the main character is 17.

Because there are people out there who have only seen the american version of CCS (Cardcaptors) I'm going to be nice and translate names for people... truthfully, I hate the English dubbed version (Actually I hate practically all English dubbed anime), but there are people out there who enjoy it, so I figure I might as well. (English names first, then Japanese names)

Sakura Avalon- Sakura Kinomoto

Lee (Li) Showran- Shaoran (Syaoran) Li

Tori Avalon- Touya (Toya) Kinomoto

Madison Taylor- Tomoyo Daidouji

Julian Star- Yukito (Yuki) Tsukishiro

So those are the main characters. I might add others in later chapters but really these are the main characters so I think that's all I'm going to do. Also, I'm not quite sure which I should follow, the anime or the manga plot, or a mix of both... any thoughts?

Anyway Please enjoy my version of Card Captor Sakura, and please review. Thanks!

Dear Touya,

I know your busy studying over seas, but I really need your advise. I made quite a few mistakes (seven of them actually) a while ago, and, well, I need to tell someone who isn't Tomoyo and gets the whole "I can sense weird things" part of me. So anyway, here we go;

Mistake number one:

So you know how many books Dad has in his study? Well, I went there to find a book to read because I ran out of things to do. As I was searching, I felt this weird,well, I didn't know exactly what it was, but it was weird, so naturally, I followed it.

Mistake number two:

The strange feeling was similar to the one we get when there are ghosts around so I figured that there was just some weird spirit who wanted something from me. But I was wrong and the feeling led me to a book. Curious, I picked it up off the shelf.

Mistake number three:

After making that mistake, I examined the book. It was weird. I don't really know how to describe it to you so I won't but it was really, really, really, really weird. Out of this world even. But being the idiot I am, I opened the book.

Mistake number four:

Turns out it was a fake book filled with cards. The cards were also strange. They were longer than normal playing cards with very intricate drawings of people (mainly female), creatures and objects, and they all had a different name written in English on the bottom. English of all languages. It's almost as if the creator of these cards were mocking me. I didn't know what to do with them so I picked up the top one.

Mistake number five:

The picture was that of a girl with very fine flowing clothing and strange hair. On the bottom was the word WINDY. At first I didn't recognize it because, well you know, I never pay attention in English class, so I read it out loud to see if it sounded familiar.

Mistake number six:

Next thing I know, the card is glowing, a strange circle has appeared underneath my feet, and there is a harsh wind blowing all around me, and cards are being carried away. When the wind finally died down, I saw that the book was also glowing, and is floating by itself. Freaked out yet? Well it gets worse. The book is empty but a strange push toy type thing with white wings comes out of it anyway. He opens his eyes (they are small black beady things) and stares at me for a few seconds before greeting me with an Osaka accent. I answer him.

Mistake number seven:

My last mistake was probably the worst out of all of them. The plush toy thing told me his name was Kerberos, but I thought that was too mature for him so I started calling him Kero. After we got that all sorted out, he explained to me that these cards are magic cards created by the great sorcerer, Clow Reed, and that he was the beast of the seal who was supposed to protect the cards. Not that he did a good job. He decided to take a thirty year nap and because of that, I was able to open the book and release the seal on the cards. That was when he noticed that all the cards but WINDY were gone. He got really mad and blamed me for the entire thing (though it was really his fault. I mean, how was I supposed to know I could use magic?) and said that I have to go collect the cards. Not really knowing what I was doing, I took a small key from Kero and did what he told me to do. Yeah I know, I'm an idiot.

So anyway, because of those seven mistakes, I am now the proud owner of a magical pink staff, a card called WINDY, a book that held that card and wand, and a plush toy who claims that he is actually really cool. Of course, weird things keep happening around me, so that makes it worse and I do actually have to seal these things to keep people from getting hurt. I also have the cards, WOODY and JUMP. See my problem? Kero keeps telling me that I have to collect all of the cards or a great disaster will befall me, but I don't know if I believe him or not. What should I do?

Please write back soon,

Sakura

P.S. Yuki sends his love and says he can't wait for you to come back. And yes I don't want to say this, but he's busy and can't be bothered to pick up the phone or write you a letter so...

P.P.S. Tomoyo, Father and I want to know if you're coming back for Christmas or not. If so, Tomoyo wants to use you as an experiment for a film of hers. I would say don't come, but it's been three years since I've seen you.

P.P.P.S. There's an exchange student coming from China. Wasn't there an exchange student from China when you were in high school? Is there anything I should know? Thanks.
