"Yeeees" the children said at the same time and with the same sound as if they were so bored they would jump out of a window. Everybody but Drake and Thomas. They were always togeather in a team work.
"like always o.k.?" Thomas told Drake with an exited voice.
"obveously!" Drake shouted back "But what are we going to do it about?" he asked
"Let´s do it about Tigers!" Thomas suggested "or about Lions!" he suggested for the second time.
"I…I know! About Cheetahs!" Drake said in exitement
"Yeah!, that sounds cool!" Thomas agreed. They wrote their names in a sheet of paper and what they where going to do it about and handed it in. Just then the bell rang. Everyone was preparing their bags for home. As always, Drake and Thomas whent home togeather.
" see you at school tomorrow" thomas said and whent left where his house was. "Bye!"
It was night time,and Drake was sleeping, and having a strange dream. A little strange lion was talking to him.
"Me and Sakura have seen your great magic powers, courage and friendship. The destiny has chosen you as a new card captor. You must Capture the 24 clow cards and the 12 sapphire cards with this magic key, the blue sapphire key... release!" The key transformed into a blue and red stick! "To release it" the little lion continued "You must hold it in your hands and say: Key holding the magic sapphire powers, show your real form unto me, Drake, who accepted this mission, release!! "And when you capture a card say:return to your real form, clow card! you must say clow card or sapphire card, depends on which you are going to capture." and with that he vanished.
"The world´s fate is in your hands!" the lion´s voice ecoed in the darkness.
The clock bell rang. "Huh!!!??" Drake shouted at the same time he woke up and sat down on his bed. Suddenly he felt a key or somthing in his hand. he lifted his hand and saw the same key the lion was holding in his dream.
"Can it...be...true?"
