CCS does not belong to me.
Vash: ::yawns:: that took you a long time to post.
Yuki: Sorry, but hey, it's taken me a while, since I've just finished taking my french courses and I'm trying to do my Web page, but hey, enjoy!

"Hmm." I said, looking up to the burning sun and back at Vash, who was typing away urgently at the computer. "Hm...oh!" Snowy looked up from her slumped up position.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"I sense a Clow Card." I said boldly.
"Not now." Doughboy groaned.
"Go ahead, take your time and capture it." Vash said. I stared at him. He turned around, smiled, shrugged, and returned to his computer.
"Guess it's really going to take a long time." Rene said. "All right, let's go!"
"Wait a sec." I said, looking at the four eager volunteers. "I only need one person."
"Rene, you stay with me." Vash put in dibs. "You have to learn how to operate my laptop." Rene sweatdrop.
"I do?" She asked.
"Um." I said, looking from Kelli to Snowy and entirely ignoring the Doughboy who was hopping behind them, waving and pointing. "Er, Vash?"
"Hmm?" Vash asked, turning around. I gave him a certain look. "Oh, um, and uh, er, Kelli?"
"Yeah?" Kelli asked. Vash winced. "I have a list of errands."
"Ooh, like what?" Kelli asked, who was always ready to be needy, especially if it was to her little brother.
"Here." Vash said. "We need to do some shopping."
"Shopping?" Snowy asked, interested.
"FOOD SHOPPING." Vash specified. "So why don't the two of you go and capture that card?"
"Sure." I said, looking around for Kero and Suppi. "Guys?"
"We're here." Kero said, popping out of the grass. "Umph." He jumped and started to fly, but didn't seem to get any higher. "Hey Suppi, let go of my tail!" I shook my head and sweeped them up, dumping them on my head.
"Get in position's, let's go." (And as usual, they started to fight over which shoulder to sit on). "Okay." I closed my eyes, and concentrated. Snowy did the same. Two set's of wings emerged.
"Let's move it!" Kero directed. I pushed off.
"There's nothing like flying." Snowy said, grinning.
"And the Fly Card isn't the same. I mean, you're still sitting on a pole, and that's what keeping you up." I looked around. "That way!"
"Hey, you're getting good at this." Kero said.
"Of course, she already has 20!" Suppi volunteered.
"That's 25." I corrected. "Somehow, I don't think I made much progress over the summer."
"Hey, go easy on yourself." Kero said. "You'll catch up to it soon."
"I read how Sakura was doubting herself and she turned out to become a GREAT cardcaptor and all, but it just seems like I'm not doing enough." I said. "It just doesn't seem as if I'm improving."
"But you are." Snowy said. "That's still a lot of cards. We just don't seem to come across many."
"I just hope going to Norway won't take a toll on my Clow Card capturing." I said, flying towards a certain direction. "Isn't this where you take your swimming lessons?"
"Yeah." Snowy said. "Odd, what would a Clow Card be doing here?"
"I already have the Watery and the Rain." I said, leafing through my cards. "Hmm?" Kero was sniffing the air.
"I sense two Clow Cards."
"What?" I said, glancing around my shoulder. "But Kero!"
"Sorry Yuki, but you've got to do your job." I groaned.
"What could those cards be?"
"Is there a such thing as the Storm Card?" Snowy asked.
"I believe so, but I already have that one, captured it last month. Why?" Snowy pointed above.
"Oh gee." I said, as we descended and landed behind some bushes. Our wings slowly disintegrated and we rushed out to the pool.
"Yuki, I thought you had gone home!" A voice exclaimed.
"What?" I spun around, and found myself face to face with the swimming coach.
"Well, you said you were leaving. What are you doing here?"
"What are you talking about? I haven't been here in two w-"
"Hello, I'm Snowy, are you the coach for the intermediate levels?" Snowy cut in.
"Why yes I am, Snowy, glad to see you again."
"Oh look, it's starting to storm." I said, elbowing Snowy.
"I guess we'd better go." Snowy dragged me behind a tree.
"Okay, what in the world was that? I haven't been to this pool in over two weeks!" I exclaimed.
"This is definitely the work of a Clow Card." Kero said. Suppi yawned.
"But which one would configure an image exactly like me?" I asked. "I have the Illusion." I pulled out the books, and went to the pictures of the cards. "I wonder."
"Oh, I'm so glad that Sakura upgraded the book after she was done with it." Kero said. "C'mon, let's take air again and see if we can find your twin."
"This is freaky." Snowy said. I nodded.
"No kidding."
Five minutes later:
"There it is!" I said, two miles above ground with a set of binoculars. "I see it!"
"Zoom in!" Kero said.
"Let's go." I said "Oh Key of Clow, Release!" Grabbing the staff, I started to dive for it. "Okay, I have you now. Clow Card, AH!"
"Yuki!" Snowy cried. A swirl of wind circled around me and blew me into some tree leaves.
"Oh." I groaned.
"Yuki, you've GOT to capture the second Clow Card before you capture the other!" Kero cried.
"Ah!" I said, running from the winds that were chasing me. "Easy for you to say, but how?"
"We have got to distract it from her enough to let her summon a card." Kero said, hovering by Snowy. Suppi, curled up somewhere in my messy hair, popped out.
"Do something!" He cried as we whipped past.
"Hm." Snowy said, nodding. "Escargot!"
"SNAIL?" I asked. A couple dozen snails came shooting at the Clow Card chasing me.
"That'll help!" I cried. "Ah! Kero!"
"Watch out Yuki!" Kero yelled, and I swerved to dodge five snails heading my way, which exploded into a storm cloud.
"Okay." I said, turning around. "Firey, Release and Dispel!" The Firey lunged forward straight at the Card. The storm clouds began to disappear except for one. On that one, a little head popped up, as was the Clow Card's original form.
"Cloud!" Kero shouted.
"That looks like Rain!" I shouted back to him.
"Yeah, they sure look alike, but it's definitely the Cloud Card." Kero said. "Seal it!"
"Cloud Card, Return to your Power, confined!" I shouted. The card dropped at my feet. "That was some capture."
"Don't forget, we still have the other one." Suppi reminded.
"Oh yeah." Whipping him out of my hair, I smacked the Jump Card and started to hop from one building to another, landing in a park. "Okay, it's very near."
"Yuki!" Doughboy called. "Come here." I ran up to him. The fat boy panted, sweated, and finally opened his mouth to speak. "Listen, Vash says it's time to go. I've been looking everywhere for you." Snowy landed a few feet away, with Kero beside her.
"Aw, already?" Kero asked.
"Of course." Doughboy said. "Let's go."
"Hold it." I said, glancing at Kero. "What about that Clow Card?" Kero frowned.
"Let's go find Vash first."
* * *
"I'm telling you, the access gate won't wait for you any longer." Vash said. "It has a schedule too!"
"And I have to capture this card!" I cried. "It's my destiny to capture all 52!" Stomping off behind a tree, I started to sulk.
When I came out with Suppi in my hand, Vash was just about to go into the gate, as the last one.
"Vash, wait!" I cried.
"What?" Vash looked at me, then back into the computer. "A double?"
"Huh?" I asked, holding Suppi in my hand.
"Oh no!" Vash said. "Yuki, was your Clow Card, by any chance, also your double?"
"Yes." I said, frowning. "Do you mean that you sent the Clow Card to Norway as WELL?"
"It came up to us and apologized." Vash said rather timidly.
"AH!" I cried, waving Suppi wildly in the air. "Did it happen to have one of these?"
"Well, my point is," Rene interrupted. "You two can both go through the gate and capture it in Norway, or you guys can stand here arguing until the gate closes."
"Oh no!" Vash said. "Okay, well, the only way to get across the computer Dimensions is to have one of these." He held up something that looked like a stone in glass.
"What is that?" I asked.
"It works on contact." Vash said. "I gave everyone one. You have one of these, which are glass, with the particles from Uri within (the glass is to keep it pure) and you can go through dimensions to wherever you desire."
"Nice." I said.
"Hang on to me." He said. I made sure Suppi was secure. "The gate is still open."
"Okay, next one, going, going, processed." Rene said.
"AH!" I cried, as the world seemed to go white, except for Vash and Suppi. "What the?"
"Believe me, it is faster and a lot cheaper than an airplane flight." Vash said. I groaned.
"I wish Kero was here." I said.
"He had to ride with Snowy because they insisted on going first." Vash said, obviously happy with his discovery of this system.
"And are you sure they reached Norway and not some screwed up Dimension?" I demanded, getting angrier by the second.
"Yes, I checked." Vash said. "I'd show you how and check again now, but I can't while we're flying."
"Flying, huh." I said, looking around. "You'd better be right, Vash."
"Oh." I said, moaning as I hit something solid. "I just noticed that we had left ground."
"Observant." Vash said, lying down on the flat surface. Color slowly started to appear before the white. A smooth, rolling countryside appeared before us. "Is this Norway?"
"How would I know, I've never been in Norway before." I said, looking around. "There's a farmer, why don't we ask him?"
"I don't see any of the others." Vash said. "That's strange, I told them to wait right here."
"Hmph." I grunted, and sprouted my wings. One hand sweeping Vash up and the other holding Suppi, I ascended. "See them?"
"Yuki, get down, a little obvious to the farmer's maybe?" Vash hissed. "But yes, I do see them, they're heading towards town."
"I wish I had the Dash Card." I said, flipping through my cards. "You know what the sad part is Vash?"
"What?" Vash asked.
"I feel as if I didn't earn the Clow Cards. I mean, Sakura had to catch them with only the Windy Card's help, and I have, well, more than thirty cards to back me up with when I started."
"I thought you told Suppi." Vash said, trailing off.
"I didn't have to tell him the truth." I said, smugly, at the snoozing Spinel Sun. "Sad, isn't it?"
"Innocent little thing."
"Yes, innocent, yet not so innocent." I said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"We've lost our innocence, haven't we, on this journey? We've gained wisdom, experience, and much more, but we've lost a lot of innocence."
"Hey, what can you do about it, it's destiny." Vash smiled. "C'mon, start jogging. We have to keep up with the others."
"This must be Norway after all." I said. "Yes, I've always wanted to visit Norway! And Europe!" My eyes lit up like the Glow Card.
"As soon as we get your glass jewel back from that Clow Card, you can visit all the places you want." Vash said grinning. "But for now, hold it. We've got a mission to complete!"
Vash: ::yawns:: that took you a long time to post.
Yuki: Sorry, but hey, it's taken me a while, since I've just finished taking my french courses and I'm trying to do my Web page, but hey, enjoy!

"Um." I said, looking from Kelli to Snowy and entirely ignoring the Doughboy who was hopping behind them, waving and pointing. "Er, Vash?"
"Hmm?" Vash asked, turning around. I gave him a certain look. "Oh, um, and uh, er, Kelli?"
"Yeah?" Kelli asked. Vash winced. "I have a list of errands."
"Ooh, like what?" Kelli asked, who was always ready to be needy, especially if it was to her little brother.
