"This
is you're house?!" Audrey exclaims. "I love it! Our house is
defiantly not as nice as this one!"
"You
should see Tomoyo's house! You should see its size! Her mother owns a toy
company. She makes a lot of money…" Sakura explains.
"Yeah…
you mentioned that before didn't you?" Audrey says but before
Sakura can reply her brother Touya comes in.
"Who's
your friend?" He asks, and narrows his eyes.
"What?!
Audrey exclaims when she sees him looking at her like that.
"This
is Audrey, the new girl at school." Sakura replies and then whispers to
Audrey, "Lets hurry up to my room." They run up the stairs.
"It's
not just your house! I love your
room too!" Audrey cries, and walks over to her bed and picks up Cerberus.
"Cute toy… Where'd you get him?"
"Uh…"
Sakura replies looking worried. "I… uh… got him in a…
one of those machines! At the toy store!" She answers quickly.
"Right…"
Audrey says and puts Kero-Chan down where he had been. "Anyway, you got
anything to eat?"
"We
should… I went out to the store last night." She looks at Kero-Chan
and sees him fidget. "Uh… Come one! Lets go downstairs… my
Dad might have made something, unless Touya has eaten it already."
"Ok…"
Audrey replies and follows Sakura out of her room… "Where does your
dad work?"
"He's
a professor of archaeology… I
know… it doesn't sound like a very interesting job, but it is!
He's a really motivational speaker!" Sakura says.
"Glad
to hear you saying things about your old dad Sakura…" Kinomoto Fujitaka coming into the room holding a plate of
cookies. "Hello! You must be Sakura's new friend Audrey that she
told me about last night! My name is Kinomoto Fujitaka. I'm
Sakura's father."
"Hello." Audrey says politely.
"Oh!
Dad you made cookies!" Sakura exclaims.
"Yes." Her father laughs "Dig
in Sakura! You too Audrey…"
"Thanks Mr. Kinomoto!"
Audrey tells him and takes a cookie off a plate. Sakura's father goes
back into the kitchen. "Your father's really cool!"
"Yeah… he
loves to cook… He also likes to eat what he cooks!" Sakura says. "So
you came to live here because your moms job got transferred?
"Yep… She
works for a computer company… I'm not sure which one…
Although…" She stops in mid sentence like she forgot what she was
going to say.
"Although what?"
Sakura questions her.
"Uh… it's
nothing! Sorry… I don't mean to bother you with things that are of
no importance…" Audrey says looking ashamed.
"How about we
go up to my room and eat these? We still have some homework to do!"
Sakura says.
"Ok!" Audrey
gets up and picks up her backpack. Sakura picks up hers and the plate of
cookies. They run up the stairs and go into Sakura's room.
Audrey sits on Sakura's
bed and says, "What should we do first? I'm not very good at
remembering homework…"
"Uh… well
we have that math test tomorrow don't we?
"Oh yeah!"
The two girls set to work on studying, and their homework.
After they study and Audrey
gets up to leave she spots The Book of Clow on Sakura's desk. "What's
that?" She asks.
"Uh… it's
just a book I found in a local book store!" Sakura says hastily. "Why
do you ask?"
"Oh… no
reason… it's cool looking…" Audrey says. "Well I have to go… bye
Sakura!" She yells and runs out the door. "Bye Mr. Kinomoto!"
Sakura hears.
"That was close"
Cerberus says. "Why'd you have to bring her up here anyway? Do you
know how hard it is to keep still for two hours strait? It's really hard!
Well I know one thing at least… she has the ability to control the clow
cards… and probably the rest of the cards too! She's really strong
Sakura… you want to be careful around her…"
"But she's
a really nice person Kero-Chan!"
"Why don't
you ask Syaoran?" Kero-Chan suggests. "He seems to be able to sense
these things too."
"Alright…
I'll ask him tomorrow…" Sakura replies.
"Sakura! Time
for bed!" Her father says, calling up the stairs.
"All right dad!
Night Kero-Chan…" Sakura says and turns out her light.
The next morning Sakura
wakes up to her alarm only to realize she was going to be late. "Oh No!"
She cries and hurries to get ready. "Dad! Why didn't you get me up?"
"Sakura, you
know that's your own responsibility!" He calls to her as she runs
out the door.
"Tomoyo!"
Sakura calls as she sees her friend and runs up to her "Why'd you wait? You could
have gone ahead and then you wouldn't be late!"
"You're
my best friend… I wouldn't do that! Did you study for the math test
today?"
"Yes… Audrey
and I studied in my room." Sakura replies as they run into the school.
"That must have
been rough on Kero-Chan!" Tomoyo tells Sakura
"He barely let
me sleep for an hour last night because of it…" Sakura says as they
sit down in their seats.
"What took you?"
Syaoran asks.
"I didn't
wake up to my alarm on time." Sakura replies. "And my father goes
by the rule that I have to get up on my own…"
"I was waiting
for Sakura" Tomoyo tells him.
"Oh thanks!"
Sakura laughs. The bell rings when she says this so she turns around to look at
the teacher.
After last class Sakura
and Syaoran are sitting on the school steps talking about Audrey.
"Well I have
been sensing something odd about her… but from what I can tell she's
harmless." Syaoran says.
"Well that's
good… Kero-Chan though that there was something really odd about her. He
said that she's really powerful." Sakura sighs.
"Well he's
right. She is really powerful. But she's harmless… She knows how to
control her powers form the looks of it. She wouldn't be so confident if
she couldn't control them."
"But what if
she doesn't know she has them?" Sakura asks.
"She does… Just trust me on this Sakura…" Syaoran answers. "Besides I saw her use them the day she came…"
