Sakura and Madison were walking to school one Friday morning.
"So are you going to tell him yet? Madison asked.
"Madison!" Sakura whispered. "Not, not yet. Besides I think I still like Julian more than I like him."
Madison just giggled. "Well we better hurry or Mr. Terada will throw a fit at us if we're late."
"If I only had the Time Card." Sakura sighed.
Both of them quickly went to their classes and into their seats. Sakura gladly sat down in her seat when...BANG! She quickly jumped back up and looked behind her.
"Oh, Hi Li." She said cheerfully.
"Hi Sakura, Madison." He said.
"Good morning class, I-" 'Ring! Ring!'
Mr. Terada was cut off by the telephone.
"Hold on a second, class." Mr. Terada said as he headed for the phone.
"Mr.Terada here. Uh-huh. Yep. Sure send her in." He said then hung-up.
"Class, we're going to have a new exchange student."
'Knock! Knock!'
"Okay, she's here."
Sakura and Madison was looking eagerly to see who the new student is, but Li was just there staring at his desk.
"Class, I would like you to welcome Ritchie Waterfighter." Mr. Terada concluded.
'Did he say 'Waterfighter' ?' Li thought. 'No, maybe not.' He said still staring at his desk.
A girl with red hair, shoulder length, tied up in a ponytail, wearing the uniform and school beret was standing in front of the class. She had a faint smile and she has grayish-brown eyes, but other than that, she looked similar to Li when he first arrived at Readington.
"Let's see," Mr. Terada. "You can sit behind Madison."
"Thank you, sir." Ritchie said.
'That voice sounds familiar.' Li though, looking in front of the class then stared at his desk again.
Ritchie then walked towards her seat and quietly sat down.
"Hi Ritchie. Welcome to Readington." Madison greeted.
"Thanks," Ritchie replied faintly.
"We're going to have music next, do you want to be in our group?" Sakura asked.
"Sure," Ritchie said. " Who's in your group?"
"Well, it's me, Madison and Li." Sakura said.
"Who called me?" Li asked looking up from his desk.
"And that's Li," Madison said.
"Hey Li, it's been a while." Ritchie smirked.
"You know each other?" Sakura asked.
That's when Li took a nice long look at Ritchie.
"Ritchie?" Li asked.
"Yep." She replied smiling.
"Yeah, we know each other," Li said
"Well, sorry to cut the reunion, but Mr. Terada is staring." Madison cut in quickly.
Everyone then looked in front of the class and Mr. Terada continued the lesson.
*** (Lunch Time)
Ritchie was walking in the field when he heard somebody call out her name.
"Ritchie!" A boy yelled.
"Hm?" She turned around. "Oh, hi Li."
Ritchie then saw Sakura and Madison walking nearby.
"Madison, Sakura! Over here!" Ritchie called out.
"Hi Ritchie." Sakura said smiling. 'Who is she? How does she know Li?' Sakura though.
Then they all walked towards into the field, found a good spot sat down and started to talk and eat.
"I felt a powerful force released here. What was it? Ritchie asked.
Madison looked at Sakura, and Sakura looked at Li.
"Don't worry. She's my cousin. She knows about the Clow Cards. She is also a descendant of Clow Reed." Li said.
Sakura let out a sigh of relief. 'Good, that means I don't have any competition with Li.' She thought.
"I opened the Clow Book two, three months ago, and ever since then, I've been trying to capture them."
"And I make her battle costumes," Madison grinned.
"So that's what I felt. I'll help you recapture the cards then." Ritchie said.
"Why?" Madison asked.
"Easy. Even though I'm a descendant doesn't mean I can't help the one that released them." Ritchie smiled.
"Wow, she is nicer to you about being a card captor than Li was." Madison said.
"Hey! I resent that!" Li protested. "Oh wait, I was a little rough on you before. Sorry about that." Li apologized.
Ritchie giggled and Sakura said, "don't sweat it, Li"
Sakura then turned around to face Ritchie.
What kind of weapon do you have?" She asked.
"I have a sword. My mom said that it kinda looks like the sword card." Ritchie replied.
"Do you have it with you?" Madison asked.
"Yeah. I always have it with me, but I'll show you guys later." Ritchie said.
"What's your power?" Sakura asked in curiosity.
"I have two, Fire and Ice." Ritchie answered.
"Well, we have to finish our food soon. English is up next, then we have gym. Do you have your gym clothes with you, Ritchie." Li asked.
"Yes. Even Melinda reminded me like fifty times." Replied Ritchie.
"Melinda?" Sakura asked.
"My guardian." Ritchie said.
"Don't you live the same house with Li?" Madison asked.
"No, why?" Ritchie asked.
"Cause when Meilin was here, she lived with Li." Madison said.
Li sweatdropped. "Please don't remind me."
"My mom didn't want me to have a male guardian, that's why." Ritchie said.
"Good thing she left for Hong Kong again." Li said.
"Oh yeah. Take this." Madison said, giving Ritchie a blue cell phone.
"What's this for?" Ritchie asked. "Hey it's my favorite color."
"Since you're a cardcaptor, I'm giving you this to keep in touch." Madison said.
"But I don't know your numbers..." Ritchie began.
"It's already in there. I wrote the numbers there. Oh yeah, here Li." Madison said handing him a green cell phone. "Your number is there too. Here are Ritchie and Li's numbers Sakura." She said. "Oh wait." She grabbed Li's Phone and scribbled something on it.
"Here you go." She said handing it back to Li.
"Uh, thanks." He said taking it back reluctantly.
"How come you got one so quickly?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. I just decided to bring one for Li and I had the urge to bring an extra one." Madison answered.
The group then quickly ate their lunch and decided to walk around the field.
"Let's go there guys." Sakura said seeing Julian and her brother Tory, playing basketball.
"Sure," Madison agreed quickly.
Ritchie and Li just looked at them and asked, "do we have too?"
"Come on. It'll be fun." Madison said grabbing Ritchie's arm. Sakura did the same thing but she did it with Li.
Tory turned around and saw Sakura grabbing Li's hand.
"What are you doing here squirt?" Tory asked. "What's that Chinese brat doing here?"
"We go to this school, what else?" Ritchie said looking sternly at Tory.
"Good point." Tory said dribbling the ball. "Hey kid, catch!" Tory said, chest-passing the ball to Ritchie. She wasn't even looking and she caught the ball.
"Quick reflexes." Madison commented.
"Hold on a second." Ritchie told Tory. Ritchie then took off her bag and said, "okay, try to block my shot."
Tory smirked. 'She won't get pass me.' He thought.
Ritchie then started to dribble the ball and Tory was in front of her. She did a right, a fake left, and spinned to her right again and did a lay-up which got in. Tory turned around to look at the net seeing the ball got in. Ritchie then walked towards her friends and grabbed her bag.
Julian saw what happened and said, "I can't believe this. Not even I can get past Tory if I'm going to do a lay-up."
Ritchie, Li, Madison, and Sakura just laughed at the sight of Tory, blushing as red as a tomato after being beaten by a ten year old.
The bell promptly rang and all of them went back to their classes.
***
Ritchie, Sakura, Li, Madison, and Mr. Terada were the only people left in the classroom. Ritchie was just making sure that she got all her things. Li, Sakura, and Madison were all looking for their books, that were mixed up one time they did a study group.
Sakura got Madison's, Madison got Li's, and Li has got Sakura's.
They quickly exchanged their books and headed for the door, which Ritchie just passed through.
"Bye Mr. Terada." Ritchie said when she went back to class, just to say good-bye.
"Bye Ritchie." Replied Mr. Terada smiling.
"Ritchie, wait." Sakura called.
Ritchie stopped and looked are her friend.
"Where do you live?" Sakura asked.
"Just around there." Ritchie pointed to the house near Sakura's house.
"Great. We'll walk with you." Madison said. "Your house is near us, so we'll walk with you."
"Well, I'll see you guys on Monday, or if there is a Clow Card tonight." Li said as he headed for his apartment complex (I think).
"Bye Li!" They all said.
It was 5:00, Madison and Sakura were talking about her next battle costume, while Ritchie was thinking about something. Then as if on cue, Ritchie felt something like it stung her mind. She was sensing a Clow Card, but can't pinpoint where it is...yet.
"Well, here's my house. See you guys." Ritchie quickly separated from Sakura and Madison.
"'Kay, bye Ritchie." Madison waved at her.
As soon as Ritchie got inside, she ran to her room and got her sword and then changed into her battle costume.
"I can sense something, but what is it?" She went to the backyard to clear her thoughts then practiced her sword moves.
*** (Sakura's House)
"Hey Kero." Sakura greeted
"Hey kid." Kero then looked around and sniffed the air. "I sense a Clow Card nearby."
"You do?" Madison asked. "C'mon, let's go to my house, you need your battle costume."
*** Li's house
"I can sense a Clow Card, but somehow it doesn't feel like it. I better check my Lasen board." He said as he took his Lasen board from the table.
"Force of light and ancient spin, send forth the magic power within. Force know my plight, release the light!" He chanted.
The Lasen board began to glow.
"So it is a Clow Card." He said. "I better tell Sakura and Ritchie."
Li then phones Sakura.
"Hello?" Sakura said.
"Hello, Sakura?" Li asked.
"Yeah." She replied.
"This is Li. There is a Clow Card on the lose. Meet me at the park in 30 minutes." Li instructed.
"Okay. I'm just going to Madison's house. She told me she has another battle costume for me." Sakura said.
Li sweatdropped. "Yeah, I'll see you in 30 minutes. I'll call Ritchie to tell her too." Li concluded and hung up. He then quickly changed into his battle costume and dialed Ritchie's number.
"Ritchie?"
"Yeah, Li," Ritchie answered.
"There is-" Li got interrupted by Ritchie.
"A Clow Card is on the lose. I know. I felt it when Sakura, Madison, and I were walking." Ritchie said.
"Meet us at the park in 30 minutes, okay?" he instructed.
"I'm already dressed up. I'm going to the park soon. Later." She concluded.
"Yeah, later cuz." He said before hanging up the phone.
*** (ten minutes later, Ritchie's house)
It was 6:10, Ritchie then grabbed her sword, it looks similar to the sword card but the differences are that it's silver and the stone(s) is blue. The feather-like handle are still there, but just for the grip. Since her sword was silver, it had some streaks of blue on it, and like Li, her sword also had those flowing string things (Sorry but I dunno what it's called). She then placed her sword behind her back where her sword carrier, and that took her 5 minutes 'cause she made sure that she had everything in place. She then went outside her door and headed for the playground. She then arrives after five minutes of walking. Five minutes later, Li arrives wearing his battle costume.
"Nice outfit, Li." She said smiling.
"Yeah, yours look nice too." Li commented.
Ritchie was wearing a robe that is a combination of Li and Meilin's Battle costume. Ritchie had Meilin's dress but it's blue with yellow linings in the sleeves and at the skirt. It also had that Yin-Yang symbol on her chest, but the surrounding was still blue (Meilin's robe had the Yin-Yang thing on her chest and surrounding it was the color red, for Ritchie, all the parts with red and white was changed into blue except the Yin-Yang thing was still the same). Her skirt also had slits in the sides. She was wearing a white undershirt for her top and white pants and also the flat shoes.
*** 5 Minutes later.
"About time, Avalon!" Li said.
"Hey, you said 30 minutes and we're here 30 minutes." Madison complained. "Come out of there Sakura."
Sakura came out and was wearing this space like costume.
'Wow,' Li thought. 'She looks good in that.'
He then turned slightly pink. Ritchie noticed this and chuckled.
"Aha!" Madison cut in quickly seeing how Ritchie and Li was dressed up. "I have an idea for your next battle costume, but I wont tell you just yet."
"If you don't mind," Kero interrupted. "We still have to find a lose Clow card and capture it."
"Oh, how cute." Ritchie said when she saw Kero.
"Uh, Sakura, Who is she?" Kero whispered.
"Kero that's Ritchie. Li's cousin, and another descendant of Clow Reed."
"Listen kid, Sakura has the-" Kero began.
"Save your breath Kero. She's here to help capture the cards." Madison assured him.
"I don't really care if I get any cards or not. As long as I help recapture them, I'm happy. She said.
"Too bad her cousin isn't as nice as she is." Kero mumbled.
"What did you say stuffed animal?!" Li exclaimed.
Kero then bit Li's hand again. Ritchie then grabbed Kero and said, "There's a Clow Card that needs to be captured guys."
"Fine." Kero said removing his teeth from Li's hand.
"Thanks Ritch." Li said.
Ritchie walked towards Li. "You like Sakura don't you?" She whispered. Li glared at her. "Don't worry. I won't tell." Li then smiled at her again.
"Li, check your Lasen board." Ritchie instructed, and changing the subject.
Li nodded. "Okay," he replied.
"Force of light and ancient spin, send forth the magic power within. Force know my plight, release the light!" He chanted.
The Lasen board glowed and pointed to the left.
"Let's go!" Kero instructed. The gang ran after Kero.
All of them were running until they saw a girl, sitting down on the ground, shivering in fear. There was a snake right in front of her.
"Help!" she shrieked. "I don't like snakes!"
"I'll get rid of the snake, you two take that girl to safety." Ritchie said to Sakura and Li.
The girl then passed out as the snake came closer. When that happened, the snake vanished into thin air.
"What the-?" Ritchie said seeing the snake disappear.
"The snake vanished, but the Clow card is here all right." Ritchie said.
The girls eyes began to flutter open.
"Wh-where am I?" the girl asked.
"You're at the park." Sakura replied.
"The last thing I remember is walking to the park. I wonder how I passed out." She thought
"Maybe the sun was too hot," Sakura suggested, even though it was already getting dark.
"Yeah, maybe you're right." The girl replied. "Are you guys going to a party or something? I like your robes."
"These are the- mrph frmil brs." Li was about to protest because of the robes, but Ritchie knew better and ran behind Li and covered his mouth quickly.
"Yeah, were going to a costume party." Ritchie and Madison said quickly.
"But where's your costume?" The girl asked looking at Madison.
"It's in my bag. I'll change when I get there." Madison giggled nervously.
"Oh, I see. Thanks for helping me up." said the girl. "Bye!" she said as she ran away from the park.
"Where's the snake?" Sakura asked.
"It vanished into thin air when the girl passed out. That can't be real." Ritchie said.
"Pathetic!" Li commented. "We are here to look for a missing Clow card, not for some snake who can pull a disappearing act."
"That was the Clow card, brat!" Kero snapped.
"I knew it!" Ritchie said. "Snakes don't just disappear out of thin air."
Sakura closed her eyes and was in deep thought.
"Over there." Sakura pointed at the place in the playground where the monkey bars, the swings, the tire, and a small house-like place was.
"I'm going to the small house." Ritchie said, pulling the sword from her back.
"Her sword does look like the sword card." Madison whispered.
Ritchie was holding her sword in front of her then something picked her up from her feet and flung her into the air. Using her sleeves, she created a small parachute, that didn't work that much. She was still holding on to her sword when an idea hit her. She aimed her sword into the ground and said, "Force know my plight, release the light! Ice!"
A thick amount of ice beamed out the sword. Ritchie quickly jumped on top of the ice and gracefully slid down the slope.
"I think I know the cards name!" Ritchie said as she jumped out of the ice.
"What is it?" Kero asked.
"It uses something that you don't like very much, or something like that, and change it into something even scarier to frighten you." She explained.
"Well, what is it?" Li asked impatiently.
"Fright card, show yourself!" Ritchie yelled.
A cloaked woman appeared and was wearing a hood. She removed the hood and you could see that she has two faces, 1 had was pretty, the other was hideous.
The Fright card flew towards Sakura and showed her the time when Sakura released the Clow cards but they weren't in their card form, they were in their real form and was heading towards Sakura.
"No!" Sakura whispered. "I didn't know. I didn't mean to."
Li and Ritchie saw Sakura, they looked at each other and nodded. Li went to Sakura's right and Ritchie went to Sakura's left. They both took out their swords and chanted,
"Force know my plight, release the light! Fire/ Lightning!"
From Ritchie's sword, came out a huge amount of fire and Li's sword released a huge amount of electricity.
"Wow. It's a good thing that I'm here and recording this." Madison said.
Kero then sweatdropped and continued to watch the battle.
The fire and electricity hit the Fright card square in the chest and it screamed in agony.
"Huh?" Sakura said snapping out of her trance.
"Sakura, use Windy!" Ritchie yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Li shouted.
"Trust me." Ritchie said looking sternly at Li and said to Sakura, "use windy now!"
"Okay. Windy, release and dispell" Sakura said.
Windy came out if its card and flew towards Fright and Windy then flung Fright into the air, rendering it helpless.
"Sakura, capture it!" Li yelled.
"Fright card, return to your power. CONFINE!" Sakura yelled.
A yellowish aura surrounded the Fright card and wrapped into a ball, then it shrank into a small rectangular shape, it was now changing into a Clow card.
Ritchie and Li then went towards Sakura before the card was completely sealed. When it was sealed, it flew towards Sakura but it then slipped near Li but it still didn't stop floating and it flew towards Ritchie, who looked in the card in surprise and reluctantly took it.
"Well, at least all three Cardcaptors has one or more cards." Madison said as she placed her camera in her bag.
"It took a while before Li got his card from Sakura, but Ritchie got her card the first day she helped," Kero added.
"Ritchie, Li thanks for your help." Sakura said blushing when she faced Li, but it wasn't noticeable because it was kinda dark. 'Oh, you look even cuter every time we see you.' Sakura thought.
"No problem." Li said also blushing. 'How do I tell her?' Li thought.
"Well, I uh- better be going." Ritchie said quickly, seeing Li and Sakura blush. "I'll just go. Melinda might be looking for me. I forgot to leave a note before I left. 'Kay, bye guys." Ritchie said, telling a white lie to leave Li and Sakura together, so she began to walk away.
From the shadows not far away, a couple of figures watched the battle and saw how the card was weakened. and captured.
"So, the cardcaptor gained another ally." Said a female voice.
"So she's the one we're suppose to defeat. She doesn't look so tough." Another voice said.
"Don't worry," sneered another. "We'll be able to get her quick."
The group of six decided to leave. All of them were wearing chokers with big pendants. Certain girls have different colors of the stone: Three had yellow, representing the weakest. Two had Green representing the average power, but somehow stronger than you think. One had Blue, the strongest of the three.
"Hey Ritchie," Madison called.
"Yeah?" Ritchie asked looking back.
"Do you want to go to the mall tomorrow? Me and Sakura are going tomorrow." Madison said.
"What time?" Ritchie asked.
"How about we meet up here at 10 to 10:30?"
"Sure. I'll try to call you guys later." She looked at Li smirking and turn around to go home.
"Okay, bye Ritchie." they all said, even though Li was kinda glaring at Ritchie.
"Well I have to get home. I have to finish my homework." Sakura said.
"Yeah, me too." Madison added.
"Is it okay if I tag along with you guys at the mall tomorrow?" Li asked.
"Sure," Sakura smiled. 'YES!' she thought. 'I'm earning a new friend and I am also getting closer to Li.'
"I'll just see you guys here tomorrow then." Li said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Madison said.
"Bye Li," Sakura whispered, as they all separated and went home.

"So are you going to tell him yet? Madison asked.
"Madison!" Sakura whispered. "Not, not yet. Besides I think I still like Julian more than I like him."

"Melinda?" Sakura asked.
"My guardian." Ritchie said.
"Don't you live the same house with Li?" Madison asked.
"No, why?" Ritchie asked.
"Cause when Meilin was here, she lived with Li." Madison said.
Li sweatdropped. "Please don't remind me."
"My mom didn't want me to have a male guardian, that's why." Ritchie said.
"Good thing she left for Hong Kong again." Li said.
"Oh yeah. Take this." Madison said, giving Ritchie a blue cell phone.
"What's this for?" Ritchie asked. "Hey it's my favorite color."
"Since you're a cardcaptor, I'm giving you this to keep in touch." Madison said.
"But I don't know your numbers..." Ritchie began.
"It's already in there. I wrote the numbers there. Oh yeah, here Li." Madison said handing him a green cell phone. "Your number is there too. Here are Ritchie and Li's numbers Sakura." She said. "Oh wait." She grabbed Li's Phone and scribbled something on it.

"Just around there." Ritchie pointed to the house near Sakura's house.
"Great. We'll walk with you." Madison said. "Your house is near us, so we'll walk with you."
"Well, I'll see you guys on Monday, or if there is a Clow Card tonight." Li said as he headed for his apartment complex (I think).

"Hey kid." Kero then looked around and sniffed the air. "I sense a Clow Card nearby."
"You do?" Madison asked. "C'mon, let's go to my house, you need your battle costume."
*** Li's house
"I can sense a Clow Card, but somehow it doesn't feel like it. I better check my Lasen board." He said as he took his Lasen board from the table.
"Force of light and ancient spin, send forth the magic power within. Force know my plight, release the light!" He chanted.
The Lasen board began to glow.
"So it is a Clow Card." He said. "I better tell Sakura and Ritchie."
Li then phones Sakura.
"Hello?" Sakura said.
"Hello, Sakura?" Li asked.
"Yeah." She replied.
"This is Li. There is a Clow Card on the lose. Meet me at the park in 30 minutes." Li instructed.
"Okay. I'm just going to Madison's house. She told me she has another battle costume for me." Sakura said.
Li sweatdropped. "Yeah, I'll see you in 30 minutes. I'll call Ritchie to tell her too." Li concluded and hung up. He then quickly changed into his battle costume and dialed Ritchie's number.
"Ritchie?"
"Yeah, Li," Ritchie answered.
"There is-" Li got interrupted by Ritchie.
"A Clow Card is on the lose. I know. I felt it when Sakura, Madison, and I were walking." Ritchie said.
"Meet us at the park in 30 minutes, okay?" he instructed.
"I'm already dressed up. I'm going to the park soon. Later." She concluded.
"Yeah, later cuz." He said before hanging up the phone.
*** (ten minutes later, Ritchie's house)
It was 6:10, Ritchie then grabbed her sword, it looks similar to the sword card but the differences are that it's silver and the stone(s) is blue. The feather-like handle are still there, but just for the grip. Since her sword was silver, it had some streaks of blue on it, and like Li, her sword also had those flowing string things (Sorry but I dunno what it's called). She then placed her sword behind her back where her sword carrier, and that took her 5 minutes 'cause she made sure that she had everything in place. She then went outside her door and headed for the playground. She then arrives after five minutes of walking. Five minutes later, Li arrives wearing his battle costume.
"Nice outfit, Li." She said smiling.
"Yeah, yours look nice too." Li commented.
Ritchie was wearing a robe that is a combination of Li and Meilin's Battle costume. Ritchie had Meilin's dress but it's blue with yellow linings in the sleeves and at the skirt. It also had that Yin-Yang symbol on her chest, but the surrounding was still blue (Meilin's robe had the Yin-Yang thing on her chest and surrounding it was the color red, for Ritchie, all the parts with red and white was changed into blue except the Yin-Yang thing was still the same). Her skirt also had slits in the sides. She was wearing a white undershirt for her top and white pants and also the flat shoes.
*** 5 Minutes later.
"About time, Avalon!" Li said.
"Hey, you said 30 minutes and we're here 30 minutes." Madison complained. "Come out of there Sakura."
Sakura came out and was wearing this space like costume.
'Wow,' Li thought. 'She looks good in that.'
He then turned slightly pink. Ritchie noticed this and chuckled.
"Aha!" Madison cut in quickly seeing how Ritchie and Li was dressed up. "I have an idea for your next battle costume, but I wont tell you just yet."
"If you don't mind," Kero interrupted. "We still have to find a lose Clow card and capture it."
"Oh, how cute." Ritchie said when she saw Kero.
"Uh, Sakura, Who is she?" Kero whispered.
"Kero that's Ritchie. Li's cousin, and another descendant of Clow Reed."
"Listen kid, Sakura has the-" Kero began.
"Save your breath Kero. She's here to help capture the cards." Madison assured him.
"I don't really care if I get any cards or not. As long as I help recapture them, I'm happy. She said.
"Too bad her cousin isn't as nice as she is." Kero mumbled.
"What did you say stuffed animal?!" Li exclaimed.
Kero then bit Li's hand again. Ritchie then grabbed Kero and said, "There's a Clow Card that needs to be captured guys."
"Fine." Kero said removing his teeth from Li's hand.
"Thanks Ritch." Li said.
Ritchie walked towards Li. "You like Sakura don't you?" She whispered. Li glared at her. "Don't worry. I won't tell." Li then smiled at her again.
"Li, check your Lasen board." Ritchie instructed, and changing the subject.
Li nodded. "Okay," he replied.
"Force of light and ancient spin, send forth the magic power within. Force know my plight, release the light!" He chanted.
The Lasen board glowed and pointed to the left.
"Let's go!" Kero instructed. The gang ran after Kero.
All of them were running until they saw a girl, sitting down on the ground, shivering in fear. There was a snake right in front of her.
"Help!" she shrieked. "I don't like snakes!"
"I'll get rid of the snake, you two take that girl to safety." Ritchie said to Sakura and Li.
The girl then passed out as the snake came closer. When that happened, the snake vanished into thin air.
"What the-?" Ritchie said seeing the snake disappear.
"The snake vanished, but the Clow card is here all right." Ritchie said.
The girls eyes began to flutter open.
"Wh-where am I?" the girl asked.
"You're at the park." Sakura replied.
"The last thing I remember is walking to the park. I wonder how I passed out." She thought
"Maybe the sun was too hot," Sakura suggested, even though it was already getting dark.
"Yeah, maybe you're right." The girl replied. "Are you guys going to a party or something? I like your robes."
"These are the- mrph frmil brs." Li was about to protest because of the robes, but Ritchie knew better and ran behind Li and covered his mouth quickly.
"Yeah, were going to a costume party." Ritchie and Madison said quickly.
"But where's your costume?" The girl asked looking at Madison.
"It's in my bag. I'll change when I get there." Madison giggled nervously.
"Oh, I see. Thanks for helping me up." said the girl. "Bye!" she said as she ran away from the park.
"Where's the snake?" Sakura asked.
"It vanished into thin air when the girl passed out. That can't be real." Ritchie said.
"Pathetic!" Li commented. "We are here to look for a missing Clow card, not for some snake who can pull a disappearing act."
"That was the Clow card, brat!" Kero snapped.
"I knew it!" Ritchie said. "Snakes don't just disappear out of thin air."
Sakura closed her eyes and was in deep thought.
"Over there." Sakura pointed at the place in the playground where the monkey bars, the swings, the tire, and a small house-like place was.
"I'm going to the small house." Ritchie said, pulling the sword from her back.
"Her sword does look like the sword card." Madison whispered.
Ritchie was holding her sword in front of her then something picked her up from her feet and flung her into the air. Using her sleeves, she created a small parachute, that didn't work that much. She was still holding on to her sword when an idea hit her. She aimed her sword into the ground and said, "Force know my plight, release the light! Ice!"
A thick amount of ice beamed out the sword. Ritchie quickly jumped on top of the ice and gracefully slid down the slope.
"I think I know the cards name!" Ritchie said as she jumped out of the ice.
"What is it?" Kero asked.
"It uses something that you don't like very much, or something like that, and change it into something even scarier to frighten you." She explained.
"Well, what is it?" Li asked impatiently.
"Fright card, show yourself!" Ritchie yelled.
A cloaked woman appeared and was wearing a hood. She removed the hood and you could see that she has two faces, 1 had was pretty, the other was hideous.
The Fright card flew towards Sakura and showed her the time when Sakura released the Clow cards but they weren't in their card form, they were in their real form and was heading towards Sakura.
"No!" Sakura whispered. "I didn't know. I didn't mean to."
Li and Ritchie saw Sakura, they looked at each other and nodded. Li went to Sakura's right and Ritchie went to Sakura's left. They both took out their swords and chanted,
"Force know my plight, release the light! Fire/ Lightning!"
From Ritchie's sword, came out a huge amount of fire and Li's sword released a huge amount of electricity.
"Wow. It's a good thing that I'm here and recording this." Madison said.
Kero then sweatdropped and continued to watch the battle.
The fire and electricity hit the Fright card square in the chest and it screamed in agony.
"Huh?" Sakura said snapping out of her trance.
"Sakura, use Windy!" Ritchie yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Li shouted.
"Trust me." Ritchie said looking sternly at Li and said to Sakura, "use windy now!"
"Okay. Windy, release and dispell" Sakura said.
Windy came out if its card and flew towards Fright and Windy then flung Fright into the air, rendering it helpless.
"Sakura, capture it!" Li yelled.
"Fright card, return to your power. CONFINE!" Sakura yelled.
A yellowish aura surrounded the Fright card and wrapped into a ball, then it shrank into a small rectangular shape, it was now changing into a Clow card.
Ritchie and Li then went towards Sakura before the card was completely sealed. When it was sealed, it flew towards Sakura but it then slipped near Li but it still didn't stop floating and it flew towards Ritchie, who looked in the card in surprise and reluctantly took it.
"Well, at least all three Cardcaptors has one or more cards." Madison said as she placed her camera in her bag.
"It took a while before Li got his card from Sakura, but Ritchie got her card the first day she helped," Kero added.
"Ritchie, Li thanks for your help." Sakura said blushing when she faced Li, but it wasn't noticeable because it was kinda dark. 'Oh, you look even cuter every time we see you.' Sakura thought.
"No problem." Li said also blushing. 'How do I tell her?' Li thought.
"Well, I uh- better be going." Ritchie said quickly, seeing Li and Sakura blush. "I'll just go. Melinda might be looking for me. I forgot to leave a note before I left. 'Kay, bye guys." Ritchie said, telling a white lie to leave Li and Sakura together, so she began to walk away.
From the shadows not far away, a couple of figures watched the battle and saw how the card was weakened. and captured.
"So, the cardcaptor gained another ally." Said a female voice.
"So she's the one we're suppose to defeat. She doesn't look so tough." Another voice said.
"Don't worry," sneered another. "We'll be able to get her quick."
The group of six decided to leave. All of them were wearing chokers with big pendants. Certain girls have different colors of the stone: Three had yellow, representing the weakest. Two had Green representing the average power, but somehow stronger than you think. One had Blue, the strongest of the three.
"Hey Ritchie," Madison called.
"Yeah?" Ritchie asked looking back.
"Do you want to go to the mall tomorrow? Me and Sakura are going tomorrow." Madison said.
"What time?" Ritchie asked.
"How about we meet up here at 10 to 10:30?"
"Sure. I'll try to call you guys later." She looked at Li smirking and turn around to go home.
"Okay, bye Ritchie." they all said, even though Li was kinda glaring at Ritchie.
"Well I have to get home. I have to finish my homework." Sakura said.
"Yeah, me too." Madison added.
"Is it okay if I tag along with you guys at the mall tomorrow?" Li asked.
"Sure," Sakura smiled. 'YES!' she thought. 'I'm earning a new friend and I am also getting closer to Li.'
"I'll just see you guys here tomorrow then." Li said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Madison said.
"Bye Li," Sakura whispered, as they all separated and went home.
