Fly to your Dreams
Chapter 1: In the Dark
By Rh
"Windy!" called a familiar voice. She swung her pink wand with a head like a swans' around her head and hit the air in front of the floating brown and yellow tarot-looking card hard. The girl was in her pajamas, which were pink and blue with stars and moons covering them, accompanied by a small flying yellow bear with a long tail and small beady eyes. He looked like a stuffed animal, which would have been very cute, except that he was alive and moving.
A beautiful young woman appeared from the card. She was all cream in color, and her eyes were serious, along with the look on her face. Planted on her forehead were a pair of beautiful wings, but small ones. Her hair was billowing behind her, as were her hawk-like wings. It looked as if she was a cross between a woman and an eagle. Streams of cream-colored wind surrounded her, wrapping around her almost like a tornado, but still sparse enough so that you could see her through them.
She turned from the girl and looked at her foe – a magnificent cream bird that filled the whole street. It's wings were huge, not to mention its feet, which had very sharp talons on the end. It looked menacingly up at Windy, flapping its wings and sending leaves racing down the street, and trees billowing roughly.
Windy started flying around the bird, being careful not to hurt the girl who had released her, who was residing on the demon's back. As Windy flew, she left streams of wind wrapped tight around the bird, which was still flying and yet struggling to get free at the same time.
As Windy finished up her job, the large bird fell to the ground hard and skidded on the pavement. When it came to a halt, the girl in her pajamas jumped off of its back with the yellow bear flying after her.
My mother… she looks like my mother.She watched the bird struggling and looked at the bear. "What do I do now, Kero-chan?" she asked him.
"What, Sakura? You don't know how?" he said and looked at her like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"No!" she yelled, getting nervous because the bird looked like it was about to break free of its restraints any moment. She kept glancing at Kero-chan and back at the struggling bird with a pleading look on her face.
"Just swing your wand and say 'Return to the form you were destined to be'!" Kero-chan said while Sakura nodded and let out a breath she had been holding in, trying to calm herself.
She looked determined as she faced the bird. Raising her wand up over her head, Sakura shouted, "Return to the form you were destined to be! Clow Card!"
What's a… Clow Card?Sakura swung her wand down, hitting the air like an invisible wall. The bird burst apart, flowing like a stream to the tip of Sakura's wand, and materializing there into a card that looked similar to Windy.
Taking the card into her hands, she looked down at its name:
Fly.

A young girl jolted up in bed. Her whole body was sweating, yet she was cold underneath her blankets.
The girl tucked her long hair behind her ears, and then took it and swung it over her shoulder so she didn't lie on it. As she did this, her eyes set upon a picture on her nightstand – it was of her mother and father.
She stared at it for a minute, and then picked it up. She held it in a small stream of moonlight that flowed across her bed, coming from a window near it. The couple looked extremely happy in the picture – her mother, with short brown hair and emerald eyes, was smiling beautifully. Her father, with brown hair and dark brown eyes, was only smiling a little bit, but it suit him better than a large grin. They looked perfect together, and so happy, like everything was perfect in the world.
She thought about her dream. My mother, and Clow Cards? And Kero-chan… what's this all about?
Sighing and shaking her head, she decided to think about it tomorrow. She lay her head back down on the pillow, being careful not to lie on her hair. The girl looked out at the nearly full moon through the window, with cherry blossom trees ruffling slightly in a gentle breeze. Before closing her eyes and drifting to sleep, she thought about her mother's last words to her; Fly to your dreams, Nadeshiko.
A/N: Ah, confusing, eh? I'm confused myself. Just to let you know, I've only seen the Fly card episode once so I kinda made it up… eheh.. But R/R, onegai! ^^;; Oh and before I forget (which I already have before) here's the disclaimer:
Disclaimer!!!: I don't know Tomoyo, Sakura, or Syaoran (or anything they own, have, take care of, whatever), but I own everything else in this fic (I think). So don't dare try and steal my plot or characters! I'll take out my plastic clow wand and you'll get a thwapping :D
