Part Two - Chapter One



After capturing all of the Clow Cards, Sakura and her family moved out of Reedington. Her father decided to take Sakura away from the hometown for a few years. Madison couldn't stop crying after Sakura left, but she did. Even Meilin had her share of emotions with the departure, and they weren't joy. Li was devastated, but he never showed any sign of it. While growing up in her new town, Sakura and Kero received many letters from Eriol, who seemed to know where they went. Sakura was in her new room, sitting on her bed as Keroberos paced back and forth. "Sakura." he said. Sakura didn't move. "Why don't you just ask to go back to Reedington? I know they miss you." Sakura sighed and stretched out on her bed. "It's not the simple, Kero," she said, "Dad made up his mind for us to move, he won't just change it." Kero lit up and went back to his first form.

Sakura heard a soft knock on her door, then her father's head poked through. "Hi, pumpkin." he said. She propped herself up on the bed and picked up Kero as he stayed as a stuffed animal. "Hi." Sakura said smiling. "Uh... listen. I already talked this over with Tori and he thought it was a great idea. I know I wouldn't really have to talk it over with you, because it's been on your mind for a while now." Sakura stared at him and blinked. "We're... moving back to..." "Reedington!?" Sakura squealed, finishing it for Aiden. He nodded. Sakura jumped off of the bed with Kero in her hand and hugged him. "This is so wonderful! I'm so happy." "I knew you would be." her father laughed. "When are we leaving?" Sakura asked, pulling away from Aiden and hugging Kero close. "In two days." Sakura laughed and tossed Kero on the bed. A huge sweatdropped formed on his head. "I'll start getting my stuff together now, Dad." she called from inside her closet. Aiden laughed again and closed the door behind him.

Sakura poked her head out of the closet as the room filled with light. "Don't say anything, Kero." she warned as he shook out his wings. "I told you so." he said tauntingly. Sakura laughed and went back to working on her closet. She emptied out all her drawers and the closet, deciding what to keep. All the bottom drawers in her closet were filled with Madison's costumes that she mad for Sakura to wear on her Card captures. "I'm definitely keeping all of these." she said, holding up one of the suits. "In fact..." Kero shook his head continuously. "You cannot wear it back down, Sakura. If you try to, I'll eat all of them." Sakura gasped, "You wouldn't! If you do, I'll rip up the Earthy and Fiery cards... for good." Kero mumbled silently. "And besides," Sakura continued, "I'm not wearing it down, just to visit Madison and the others, if they're close enough. And I know just the one. The Blue Jester Suit."

Sakura set aside her clothes for the next two days, and then what she was going to wear back to Reedington. She put the jester suit aside, to the bottom of one of her drawers and stood against the half-closed door. "I'm gonna change into that, and then visit Madison." she giggled, kicking the door close all the way. The two days seemed to fly by, and Sakura was now sitting in the back seat of their car. Tori looked at her in the mirror. "Sakura," he said, "You're still walking around with that little psuedo-toy?" Sakura looked down at Kero who had a little sweatdrop forming, then back at Tori's reflection. "So..?" she drawled out. Tori grunted and look forward. Sakura beamed happily. Halfway through the trip, and a couple stops later, Sakura had snuck the suit into her backpack and was fast also on it, sing it as a pillow. She had the back seat all the herself with Kero lying next to her.

They had left on Thursday and were now arriving on Saturday, late at night. "I guess it's too late to surprise Madison. Huh, Kero." she whispered as they unpacked their suitcases. Kero gave a quick nod and stayed in stuffed animal mode in Sakura's pocket. Aiden had already arranged for them to move back into their old house, so when he opened the door, he felt as if a part of him had returned. "Home, sweet home, guys." he sighed, dropping the first few suitcases. "Yeah." Sakura said. She had her duffel bag, filled with her costumes slung across her chest, and her backpack hanging off her left shoulder. She stood straight and breathed in the scent of her old upbringings. She went back out to help her dad and brother finish unpack. By the time, every one of them had carried everything up to their respective rooms, they were too tired to do anything else, and fell asleep on the living room floor, wrapped up in a few sheets.

From where he was on the sidewalk, Li Showron looked up at the house, a somewhat calm look on his face. "Welcome home, Sakura Avalon." he said out loud. He smiled and turned back, walking home. From on the stoop of his house, he gave one last look at where Sakura's house was located, even though he could see it no longer. Then he went inside. Sakura woke up in the middle of the night from a dream she had. She sat up and looked at Tori and her father. They were still fast asleep on the floor. She stood up slowly, picking up the sleeping Kero, along with her backpack, then snuck up the stairs. She opened the door to her room and walked in. She closed it behind her. The moonlight shone through the window, illuminating her stuff and giving it an eerie glow.

She shook Kero. "Kero." she whispered, shaking him more, "Kero, wake up." Kero mumbled something about all the cakes in the world, the opened his eyes slowly. "Wh--What? I'm up." he floated from Sakura wearily and gave a large yawn as he changed into his true form. "What is it, Sakura?" Sakura sat on her windowsill. "I had a dream." she mumbled. Keroberos folded his wings and laid down. "Yeah? What was it about?" Sakura stared at the moon and slowly remembered the dreaming, speaking it to Keroberos:

A beautiful, wide open field. Plushy green sort of sparkling. Soon, Flower appeared, dancing around and making flowers and petal appear everywhere. Over a bench arc, across the white fence, around trees, making lovely flower beds. Off to the side, two unicorns were grazing peacefully. Yue appeared on one of the unicorns, his wings folding behind him. Li then appeared, sitting on the bench, one leg drawn up to his chest and the other swinging back and forth, a few inches from the ground. He was wearing all white. A white tux with white shoes. He looked up and brushed the hair from his face as the person he was waiting for showed up. She was wearing a white gown, that sparkled with every move she made. She had her back turned to him, because she was laughing happily with friends. Feathers fluttered free from the wings on her back. As Li stood, Yue hopped off the unicorn and stood also, bowing gracefully. Flower gave a little curtsy and went back to beautifying the area. The girl turned around and smile at Li, tucking her hair behind her ear. Her green eyes sparkled as she giggled. Keroberos appeared by her side, from behind her, with Madison and Meilin on his back. Madison, of course, had her camera, and was taping the whole thing. "Congratulations, Sakura!" she laughed. "Yeah." Meilin agreed, "It was meant to be, I guess." Sakura smiled at them both. She leaned down and gave Keroberos a big hug, petting him on his head. "You did a wonderful job, Sakura." he told her. Yue came over and gave Sakura a small hug. She hugged back, then took Li's arm, the two of them walking off, waving at them...

"...And then I woke up." Sakura said, still looking out the window. "Hmm..." Keroberos said thoughtfully. "What's it about, Kero?" Keroberos sighed. "That's a dream you have to figure out on your own. From the sounds of it, you already have, but you don't know it yet." Sakura nodded, "I understand, and I'll try my best to understand it more." She pulled out the Clow Key and held it in her hand. "Release!" "Sakura. What are you doing?" Keroberos asked, standing up as Sakura grabbed the Wand. She smiled at him. "I'm going for a little spin. I haven't been able to do it for a while. To get back to feel." "You've got to be kiddin'!" he stammered. She shook her head and pulled out a Card. "Fly!" She jumped on the wand and floated out the window, she'd open. "You coming, Kero?" she asked. Keroberos shook his head and popped back into his tiny form. "I'll guard your room." Sakura laughed and flew off into the night sky. Kero sighed and sat in front of the window, waiting for her when she decides to return.

When Sakura came back, it was morning and she had to be careful when flying. Kero was still sitting by the window, just where she had left him. She got ready and hopped off, rushing up the roof. She hopped into her room and quickly changed back into the clothes she had on. "They woke up yet?" she asked as Kero flew inside. "Yup." he landed on her head. She took the Clow Key and stuck it in her pocket. "What'd they say?" "Well, your brother knew you were out, then he wanted to toss me out the window." Sakura laughed as she slid on her shoes. "But he closed it instead. I had to open it back up." She opened the door that led to the hallway. "They're gone Sakura." She face vaulted into the hall.

"Kero!" She grabbed him off her head and shook him. "Aahh!! Sa-ku-ra!" She let him go and he floated to the ground. He shook his head and returned to his true form. "Great." she said smiling, rushing off into the bathroom, and changing into the Blue Jester outfit, "Just the form I need. We're going to Madison's, and we're going now." "Sakura." Keroberos sighed. She pulled back out the Key. "Release!" "Fly!" She stood by the window waiting for Kero. he walked up behind her and pushed her out the window, both of them ascending to the journey of heading to Madison's house.

The landed on the roof of the house, not making a sound. The wings on the wand disappeared and Sakura pulled out her Little Card. "Little!" The Card floated up above the wand and glowed a yellow color. That same glow passed around Sakura and she shrunk, the Card floating back to her. The tiny Sakura looked up at Kero who changed into his stuffed animal form. The walked across the roof and slid down the ledge, landing in a flower garden. Sakura peered over the top of a rose and saw all three of her friends. Madison, Li, and Meilin. She noticed the window was opened slightly and crawled over and through it. She landed in a pile of clothes. "I thought Madison was a little cleaner than this." Sakura groaned with a sweatdrop, "But it did break my fall."

She dived under the clothes and came out at the bottom. She ran across the floor and under the bed. There she called Little again so she could return to her regular size. Li looked over at Madison's bed and raised an eyebrow. "A Card..." he whispered, "Little..?" Meilin looked over at him. "You ok, Li?" she asked. He snapped out of the trance and nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine." "You sure?" Madison asked after, "You have been acting strange ever since you got here. But that's no surprise." Meilin and Madison laughed at that and went back to talking, leaving Li shaking his head. He looked back over to the bed and saw a little sparkle. Sakura ran out from under the bed before she grew too big and now stood in front of everyone in the room.
