A Whole New World
Episode One - The Right Book
A girl with long, black hair was walking down a row filled with all sorts of books, in a bookstore. "Wow." She murmured to herself. She continued walking down the row to each aisle, looking for the perfect book to read.
"Maggie!" came another girl's voice. "Maggie, did you find the a book yet?!"
"No Rayani. Not yet." Maggie said, staring at the shelves.
"Well, hurry up! I want to start reading mine." Rayani said coming down the aisle and pulling out a book from the bag. "It's called Redwall by Brian Jacques."
"That's good." Maggie said sarcastically. "Go find a table and read it. I'll be there in a minute."
"Okay." Rayani said, and she walked down the aisle to go find a table to read her new book. Maggie continued walking down the aisle to the 'New Age' section.
"Man," she whispered. "Why can't I be a normal 14 year old teenager that goes out to have some fun with her friends. Instead I'm in here with my friend and sister checking out some books to do a book report. I'm always at home reading like a bookworm."
Maggie looked at the books and murmured, "Witchcraft for Beginners, Love Spells, Magic Spells, Horoscopes. Okay, full of witchcraft stuff. What's this book?" Maggie looked at the bright pink book that didn't have a title on the side like the others. "Sakura?"
Maggie looked at the cover. The cover had a golden lion while the background around the book had stars. On the back, there was a moon and a couple of more stars.
"Hey, there's a lock on it."
Maggie was opened to open the book, but voices were coming from the next aisle, so Maggie ran to the Children's section were it was quieter. Maggie slowed down to a pace as some people started to stare at her. She ignored the stares and saw a book that had a boy with untidy, black hair with glasses, and a lightning shaped scar on his forehead.
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Year one." Maggie whispered.
"Yes, excellent choice." came a voice from behind her. Maggie jumped in surprise. "Sorry to frightened you." It was a man with black hair.
"That's okay." Maggie said breathing slowly.
"Do you need any help or suggestion because I think your friend, Rayani offered me to help you," he said.
"No, I already found a book. Ahhh.this one." Maggie said taking the Harry Potter book. "Oh yes, Harry Potter. Excellent choice like I said before, and are you going to purchase that book too." He said pointing at the book Maggie was holding.
'The book I totally forgot about it,' Maggie thought.
"Yes, I'll take both of them." she said anxiously.
"Please follow me," he said looking at the Sakura book again with curiosity.
A few minutes later, Maggie walked over to Rayani with a bag in her hand. "What took you so long? Let's find your sister and go home. We better go since the book report is due in 2 weeks." said Rayani.
"Okay. The book I bought looks exciting." Maggie said looking at Rayani was excitement, wanting to open the Sakura book when she got home.
* * * * *
Later at night, Maggie was in her room putting away her homework. "Finally, I have time to read." Maggie said, since everyone at her school said that she's a bookworm. Maggie took out the 2 books from the bag and putted Harry Potter on her nightstand. Maggie looked at her Sakura book.
She opened the lock on the cover, and carefully turned the cover to the first page on the book. Instead of pages like regular books, the Sakura had a lot of bright pink cards.
Then Maggie's mind went back to the man in the bookstore were he was warning her about the book.
* * * * *
"Be careful. This book causes trouble to the owner." he said in a whisper, so that the other cashiers standing by him wouldn't hear.
"What are you talking about?" Maggie said. "How can this book cause trouble?"
"Trust me, if anything happens, come to me right away and I can give you advice." he whispered in a lowered voice.
* * * * *
Maggie shook her head and concentrated back on the cards. She pulled out 3 cards and looked at them. There were 3 creatures on the 3 different cards.
"Windy, Fly, Jump. How cool. They're like collecting cards."
There was a sudden gush of wind, and all the stuff animals on the shelves started flying across the room. Maggie couldn't see anything so she had closed her eyes. It felt as if there was a sand tornado. Maggie opened her eyes when the wind died down and notices the Sakura book floating in mid- air. 'Where are the cards?' Maggie thought.
The room started to glow and suddenly, a yellow, orange stuffed animal emerged from cover of the book. The head started to appear, next the wings, then the body and the legs. The small little stuffed animal was floating in mid-air with it's eyes closed. The glowing dimmed away, and Maggie's room was back to normal except for her stuffed animals that were thrown everywhere.
"Aww, a free stuffed animal." Maggie said stepping closer to the bear.
"I'm not a stuffed animal Sakura. You know that." The bear said opening its eyes. Maggie started screaming. Kero looked at the girl in bewilderment. "What? You're not Sakura! Where am I then?" the bear asked again looking around the room. Maggie stopped screaming and started to examine the bear.
"Uhh.I'm Maggie and you're in my room," she said slowly pointing to herself.
"Where's Sakura? Oh, I remember now, she past away from cancer and her brother decided I should guard the cards again. Oh man, I slept on the job again," the bear said.
"What's going on in here? I heard screaming!" Maggie's mom said, running in the room. "What the -"
"Uhh, I can explain everything. You see, I went to the bookstore with Rayani to buy a book for our English class and I brought this book with the Harry Potter book too. I opened this book and there were pink cards inside. I said the cards name and a gust of wind came, then he came out of the cover and started talking, which made me scream." Maggie said pointing to the orange bear.
"My name is Keroberos. Just call me Kero because it's easier. Anyways, I'm the guardian of the Sakura Stars," said the bear. "Where are the Sakura cards?"
"Here." Maggie gave Kero the 3 cards she was clenching in her hands, and picked up the pink book, which was now on the ground.
"Where's the rest of the cards?" asked Kero in a frightened voice.
"That's all of it. I looked at the cards, when I read the names of the cards. The gust of wind came, so I closed my eyes. When I opened them, all of the cards were gone except for the ones I was holding." Maggie said. Her mom was still standing by the door, staring at the bear with a stern look on her face.
"Oh great, it's starting all over again." Keroberos said.
"Why? What's wrong?" Maggie asked, looking confused.
Keroberos took a deep breath and said, "Let's start from the beginning. These cards used to be Clow Cards, made by Clow Reed, a magician with Supreme powers. He was my 1st master. Just like you, Sakura, my 2nd master, did the same thing. She let the Clow Cards go, and then she had to recapture the cards she let go, and transform them into her own. Now that you released her cards, you have to recapture and transform them into your own cards. Because if the seal is broken, disaster will befall this world. You broke the seal, so you have to capture these cards because they process magic.
"Wait-wait." Maggie's mom interrupted. "Your telling me that my daughter has to capture these cards and transform them, or evil will befall this world. What if she breaks her arm, or hurts herself?"
"Sakura never injured herself when capturing the Clow Cards. So I don't think that your daughter would get hurt. Don't worry, these cards are friendly." Kero said happily.
"How is she supposed to capture them if she doesn't have any magic?" Maggie's mom asked.
"Just step back and let me do it." Keroberos said.
"But I don't want to do it Keroberos." Maggie said, "I'm always busy with schoolwork and stuff."
"Please call me Kero, Maggie and don't worry. The magic does it all. Now would you be kind and step right there." Kero pointed to the empty space in the room. Maggie stepped to where Kero was pointing.
"Okay, stand still." said Kero as he closed his eyes. Maggie was still staring at him with a frightened look on her face. Maggie's mom was staring at Kero, figuring out what he was about to do with her daughter.
"Key of Seal." Kero began, as a key was floating between them. "Someone wishes to make contact with you. A girl. Her name is Maggie. Key! Give her power! Release!" Kero yelled, as wind started swirling around Maggie.
Maggie looked at the pink key in front of her, as it started to transform into a staff. "Maggie grabbed the staff." Kero shouted again. Maggie stepped forward a few spaces and grabbed the staff. "Another Cardcaptor is born." Kero shouted with happiness, when the wind died down.
"But, how do you know I'm a Cardcaptor? I'm don't know any magic? Maggie shouted at Kero.
"This book can't be opened, by someone without magic. You opened this book and woke me up. It means you have potential to use magic. Thanks; I've been sleeping for quite some time now. Would you mind taking me around Readington? I haven't seen this town for a long time now?" Kero said.
"Huh? Readington? That's in Japan. Were in Laguna Hills, California." Maggie said, thinking that one day she could go to Japan.
"Laguna Hills? Man, that's far from my home." Kero said, looking sad.
"Yep, it's dark out anyway, so we can't go anywhere." Maggie said. Maggie's mom walked out of the room, muttering things in Vietnamese.
"Nice staff." Maggie said, examining the staff. The staff is a long, and bright pink with a symbol of the star at the end, but the handle at the end was forest green. "This could be great for a baton." Maggie said as she began to twirl it.
"It's not always going to be a baton you know. It's only a staff when you're about to capture a Sakura Star." Suddenly, the staff became a mini key again that is in the shape of a star.
"Aww. Oh well," said Maggie, looking disappointed. "So I'm a Cardcaptor now?"
"Yep!" Kero said happily.
"So Kero, can you tell me anything about Clow Reed and why he made these cards and can you tell me anything about the Sakura Stars?" Maggie said, wanting to know more about her new magic.
"Okay. Let me see if I can remember. The Sakura Stars are alive. And each has been given a name, form, and magical powers. For example, the card of wind has the power of wind, and the card of fire has the power of flame. The cards made by Clow have incredible powers. They do as they please and nothing can defeat them. That's why Clow created this book, and sealed the cards within. And I, the Creature of the Seal, was placed on the cover." Kero said.
"Wow, so guardian you are if you let the cards go free, again." Maggie said, giving Kero a funny face.
"Well, guarding cards can we tiring once in a while." Kero said looking away. Maggie started laughing.
"Is that how you really look?" Maggie said when she stopped laughing.
"No. I'm actually quite hug, but I've taken this shape again, because my magic is dwindling." Kero said. "I like being small though. You can hide anywhere."
"Interesting." Maggie said.
"Is it okay if I could tour your house for a while." Kero said.
"Sure, but be careful of the dogs." Maggie said.
"Dogs, you have dogs in the house?" Kero asked anxiously.
"Don't worry. Sometimes there not allowed to go upstairs." Maggie said, smiling broadly.
* * * * *
The next day, Maggie woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. "Morning Maggie.
came Kero's voice. Maggie opened her eyes, and saw that Kero was floating above her smiling.
"Morning. How's your new room? Everything comfortable?" Maggie let Kero sleep in her toy room where she keeps all of her toy room. Maggie's mom didn't really approve of Maggie, letting Kero sleep in her room.
"Yeah. Everything is perfect." Kero said.
"Good. Anyways I have to go to school. It's a Monday. Great." Maggie said with a bored look on her face.
"Do you have any video games I can play with while you're away?" Kero said as Maggie was changing into her school clothes. "I love playing games when Sakura was at school."
"Yeah, I have a Super Nintendo in my mom's room and a Game Boy in here. I'll put it on my bed when I'm finished and I'll put out the Super Nintendo in my mom's room." Maggie said.
"Thank. Have fun in school and watch out for the Sakura Stars, they can appear anytime." Kero said.
"Okay. My mom will brig breakfast later if you want any." Maggie said now doing her hair in a ponytail.
"Thanks. Do you have any pudding? Pudding is my favorite." Kero asked once more.
"I don't think so, but I'll get some right after school and my mom could get some more later at the supermarket." Maggie said, now looking for the Game Boy.
"Thanks." Kero said rubbing his stomach.
"Your welcome. Here's the Gameboy. The games are in that drawer. And I'll go set up the Super Nintendo too. The games would be in the bag. After that I'll eat breakfast and go to school. I'll be back around 3 or 3:30. See you later." Maggie said grabbing her backpack.
"Thanks again. Remember don't tell anyone about the Sakura Stars." Kero shouted when Maggie ran out of the room.
"I won't. Only my family knows about it" came Maggie's voice from the hall. Kero's mind went back to when she told the rest of the family about her magic and recapturing the Sakura Stars. Her dad went crazy saying she should be careful and don't do anything that is stupid. Her mom made her sister record Maggie's every move when she is capturing the cards. Everyone else thought Kero was cute, and he was welcomed in the family easily.
Kero started looking around Maggie's room, thinking about Sakura's old room. Kero flew over to Maggie's drawer and took out the Sakura Stars book. "I miss you Sakura. I wish you were here. I don't this will be hard for Maggie but I know she could do it. Like you did in the beginning."
"I know she can do it, if we give her encouragement." Maggie's mom said. She brought in a tray full of food for Kero, and putted in down on the nightstand.
"Let's hope she can. Maggie has a partner at her school that can help her, and she knows him but she doesn't know about the partner thing yet. Thanks for the breakfast." Kero said.
"A boy? My little Maggie is going to have a boy as a partner? Oh no, she is not allowed to hang out with any boys. Unless I know him." Maggie's mom said looking frustrated.
"Don't worry, she'll probably hate the boy, since he's popular Maggie's mom." Kero said.
"Call me Kim. Let's hope she doesn't. Kim said, still looking at Kero seriously.
"Okay. Thanks for the breakfast again." Kero said, relaxing.
"Your welcome." Kim said, and she left the room. Kero looked outside the window. Maggie walked to her dad's truck and they drove away.
"Let's hope she can." Kero whispered, and he looked away from the window to eat breakfast, and keep a look out for the dogs.
* * * * * Maggie walked up to the stairs of her school. "Hi Maggie." It was Rayani.
"Hi. How is your book? Is it good?" Maggie asked.
"Yeah, it's great. It's about a mouse that kills villains." Rayani said. "How's yours?"
"I didn't start it yet. I was busy with homework and stuff." They stopped at their lockers to get their books for class. In the distance, the bell rang and they both closed their lockers.
"Well, we better get going." Rayani said.
"Okay, see you during Orchestra." Maggie said.
"Okay. Bye." Rayani walked down the hall as Maggie went in the opposite direction.
Few minutes later Maggie opened the door to her English class. She heard loud chattering from her classmates.
"Hi Jake." Maggie said nervously as Jake walked past her desk, when she was about to sit down at her desk.
Jake looked at her for a second before saying, "Hi." And he continued walking to his desk in the front row while Maggie's desk was in the back row.
Maggie turned about knowing that her face was glowing red from blushing too much. 'I always blush when I talk to him. Why?' Maggie thought.
"Awww, how cute." came a familiar voice of Rachel Pacilguarlio.
"Hi Rachel. Don't tell anyone. You promised." Maggie said.
Rachel was the kind of girl that liked to spread secrets around about others, trying to make herself popular, but luckily she didn't tell anyone that Maggie had a crush on Jake Espinosa. Only Rachel and Rayani knew.
"Promised what?" Maggie turned around and saw Jake standing behind her.
"Oh, nothing. Just a secret of mind Rachel found out about." Maggie said staring at Jake with a look in her eyes she only gave to guys she liked. Jake snorted.
"Yeah, and I promised not to tell anyone about it." Rachel said looking at Maggie with a smirk on her face, hoping that one-day Maggie could punch.
"Okay. Anyways, Maggie can I talk to you at snack? That's where your Orchestra class is right?" Jake asked, looking at her, which made Maggie jump inside.
"Yeah." Maggie said, smiling.
"Okay. Wait for me there. I really need to talk to you." Jake lowering his voice so that Rachel wouldn't hear.
"Okay, I'll see you at snack then." Maggie said looking at Rachel and giving her a look. Rachel looked away pretending she didn't hear anything.
"Okay." Maggie watched Jake walked to his desk and sat down talking to his friends in the back.
"Oh-la-la." Rachel said in Maggie's face, which broke her eye contact on Jake. Maggie looked at Rachel and they both started laughing.
From across the room, Jake looked at Maggie when she started laughing. Jake started thinking that from the moment Maggie said hi to him a couple of minutes ago, she felt different. Knowing that she said hi to him everyday when he walked in the room she felt like a normal girl.
The bell rang again, and the voices died down as the English teacher started talking knowing that class began.
* * * * *
At ten o' clock, Maggie saw Jake approach her by the music room like he asked her. "Come in here. It's more private." Jake said as he opened the door to the Color Guard Room.
"So, what's up?" Maggie said as she sat down on the chair and saw Jake locked the door.
"I know about that you have the Sakura Stars Maggie." he said slowly.
"What are you talking about?" Maggie said looking at him anxiously.
"Don't pretend, I know you have the Sakura Stars and Keroberos is at your house." Maggie's hand was in her pocket, holding it tightly on the cards.
"Don't worry! I won't steal it. I'm not like Li Syaoran. Sakura's old assistant." He said, still looking at her.
"How did you know that I have the Sakura Stars?" Maggie asked.
"I know by 2 reasons. One, when I went into English class today. I felt a strange presence, and when you said 'hi' to me, the presence was inside of you. The second reason is this." Jake took out a device from his backpack that had a Ying-Yang symbol and some Japanese words. Then he muttered, "Metal, Wood, Fire, Earth. Oracle of Thunder, and Lightning, hold fast to the ancient law!" A blast of blue light came out of the device and pointed straight at Maggie like a laser.
"I've been searching for a the Sakura Star for a while now, but I didn't know that you had them." Jake said, putting the device away in his backpack. "Where did you find it?"
"I actually bought in at a B. Dalton at the Laguna Hills Mall." Maggie said looking at Jake if he had anymore-weird stuff on him.
"At the mall? Weird?" Jake said.
"Yeah. Anyways, I have to go to the computer lab. Type some stuff up with Rayani." Maggie said getting up.
"Wait. One more thing. If you need any help or get into any trouble, just call me and I'll come." Jake said putting a hand on Maggie's hand to stop her.
"Okay. I'll try to if I have the time or a cell phone." Maggie said.
"You don't have a cell phone? I could get you one for free. My dad works for a cell phone company, and he could give you one for free." Jake said, letting go of her hand.
"Thanks. I really appreciate it." Maggie said smiling.
"Oh problem." Jake said. Maggie unlocked the door and looked outside to see if anyone was around. There was no one in sight, and Maggie was about to walk out the door but she turned around to look at Jake, in which she found him staring at her.
"Jake, where did you get that weird device? Are you a descendent of Li or something?" Maggie said, looking away.
"Maybe. I like I can be half Japanese." he said, smiling.
"You don't look Japanese." Maggie said, still smiling. Jake and Maggie walked out of the Color Guard room, and into the cool air of a winter day.
"Anyways see you in Geography." Maggie said, turning around to look at Jake.
"Okay. Bye." Jake said.
"Bye." Maggie walked away toward the computer lab where Rayani was waiting for her.
Jake stared at Maggie when she walking away. 'She really changed since the beginning of the school year.' he though to himself. When Jake couldn't see Maggie anymore he started walking to the table where the rest of his friends where waiting for him.
* * * * *
"Kero, he knows about the Sakura Stars, and he has this weird device that has light shooting out of it, and I asked him if he was the descendent of the Li family and he was 'maybe' but he doesn't look Asian."
It was around 9 o' clock and Maggie was telling Kero what had happened at school while trying to comb her dogs hair. Kero was petting the dogs. During the afternoon, Kero was trying to get use to the dogs, and he was successful with it. Knowing the dogs was friendly.
"He may be a friend of the Li household." Kero said, still thinking about Jake.
"Maggie, let the dogs go to the bathroom." Maggie's mom said from the stairs.
"Okay." shouted Maggie. "Want to come with me Kero?" Maggie asked Kero.
"Sure." Kero said. Maggie and Kero went down the stairs as both the dogs ran down the stairs first. She let the dogs out into the cold night air and Kero turned on the lights outside.
"Look at the moon, it's bright tonight." Kero said, looking up. "I haven't seen the moon for a while now."
"Yeah. Lucky! Mulan! Be quite or you'll wake up the neighbors!" yelled Maggie. Lucky and Mulan, the dogs, were barking loudly at the ground. "Why are they barking at the ground?"
"At the ground around us!" shouted Kero. "It's dark and you know what that is. A Sakura Star. It's your first capture, so good luck."
"What do I do?" said Maggie, looking frightened
"Take out your Star Key and the words will come to you." Kero said. Maggie took out the key from her pocket. She held it tightly in her fist.
"Key of the star. With powers burning bright. Reveal the staff and shine my light. RELEASE!" Light came out of Maggie's hand, while Lucky and Mulan were still barking.
"This is the Shadow Card, so you have to get some powerful, bright light!" Kero said, flying by her side.
Maggie thought and thought, but all of a sudden black stuff was being thrown at her. She kept on backing up, until she reached the edge of the pool. Maggie looked down at the pool, then an idea popped in her head. She searched through her pocket, and pulled out a card.
"Jump Card!" Maggie said. Light shot out and wings grew out of her shoes, and Maggie jumped over the pool and landed on the other side.
"Cool!" Maggie said smiling to herself.
"Cool!" said Maggie's sister Tram.
"Oh no! Not the video recorder." Maggie said, sadly.
"Maggie! Look out!" Kero shouted, as another black stuff started shooting at her. Maggie dodged the attach from the Shadow Card as she jumped onto the wall that separated the neighbors yard. "Maggie! Get some more light so that you could see the Shadow!" Kero said as he was flying towards her, also dodging the black stuff.
"Maggie, the high school!" Tram shouted.
"The high school? Yes, the tennis courts. Thanks." Maggie fly up the house roof ad took out another card.
"Fly!" Maggie shouted. The wings from her shoes disappeared and came out of the staff. Maggie climbed on the wand and shouted, " Be back in a few!"
"Kero! How is the Shadow suppose to get to the high school? It's not even following us. Actually Maggie it is." Kero said, pointing around them. The Shadow was making the whole neighborhood dark as the dark stuff was still shooting at them. Everywhere Maggie flew, it became dark.
Few minutes later, Maggie landed on her high school tennis courts. "Kero, what do we do now?" she asked as she saw the dark shadow surrounding the tennis courts.
"Turn on all of the lights and fast." came a voice in front of her. She looked in front of her and saw Jake. "I thought I told you to call me."
"Hello! I was outside letting my dogs go to the bathroom when this happened." Maggie said very rudely.
"Can we explain this later!" shouted Kero flying in between them. "Now Maggie, sense the power of the card while me and this guy right here turns on the light. Let's go kid."
Maggie was standing in the still with her eyes closed trying to sense the card while Jake and Kero were turning on the lights around the whole tennis courts.
Few minutes later, Jake and Kero came back to Maggie breathing hard from running. "Well!" said Jake.
"Quiet! She needs her concentration." Kero said.
Maggie opened her eyes, and shouted, "Over there! In the shadows where there's no light!" Maggie and Jake ran over the shadow in the corner of the tennis court. Not knowing, they were standing on Shadow Cards trap, the black stuff flew up high and started closing in on them.
"Do something!" Jake shouted.
"I know!" Maggie said, putting out another card. "Windy help me by grabbing the Shadow! Windy!" Maggie said twirling her staff around in a circle.
Kero looked at Maggie for a second. 'That's the same thing Sakura used to do.' He thought.
Windy came out of the staff and her golden skin covered the blackness of the shadow.
"Convert back to the shape you were meant to be, Shadow Card!" Maggie yelled.
The Shadow started swirling around Maggie as a card appeared before her staff. The wind started blowing around until the blackness was gone and everything was quiet again.
"Maggie! You did it!" Kero shouted flying to her happily.
"I did didn't I?" Maggie said looking at the card.
"Congratulations." Jake said smiling.
"Thanks." Maggie said, looking at the Shadow card, which was also pink like the others.
"Maggie! You did it!" Kero shouted again, then he looked at Jake then back at Maggie, "Is this the boy you were telling me about earlier? The boy you like?"
"Kero. I don't like him! We're jut friends." Maggie said blushing. "Anyways, how did I do that?"
"From your our powers." Jake said looking at her.
"That's right. Your own powers helped you captured this card. Also with the help from Sakura herself." Kero said, sitting down on Maggie's shoulder.
"Maggie! How did you do? I saw the golden-stuff cover the black stuff from the sky. Who's this?" Tram said really fast.
"This is Jake, I suppose he's my new partner." Maggie said looking at Jake.
"Jake? Is this the boy you like?" Tram said smiling.
Maggie looked at her sister and looked away shaking her head.
"I have to go now." Jake said looking at Maggie. "Nice to meet you ---." Jake said looking at Maggie's sister.
"Oh, my name is Tram." Said Tram reaching out a hand to shake Jakes'.
"Nice to meet you." Jake said shaking her hand.
"Do you want me to drive you home. It would be faster, and it's kind of late." Tram said looking at Jake.
"No it's okay. I can protect myself." Jake walked out of the tennis courts and out of Maggie's sight.
Maggie was looking at Jake when he walked out of the gate, smiling to herself. "Congratulations Maggie." Tram said putting the video camera in her face. "Well it's the first card you captured in your adventure. How do you feel?"
"I feel great. Having an assistant to help encouragement and me when I need help. This are the thing I need to help me capture the Sakura Stars before evil will befall this world." Maggie said staring into the video recorder.
"Thank you." Tram said. "And that's it for today folks. Tomorrow is another mystery for young Maggie to find her quest in becoming a Cardcaptor. Until tomorrow then. Good bye and good night."
Maggie laughed out loud. She knew her sister loved recording Maggie's every move when she did something special since she was little. Tram would always follow her everywhere she went.
"Time to go home. Wanna fly or drive home?" Tram said turning off the recorder.
"I'll fly home with Kero." Maggie said.
"Okay, I'll race you home, but let me get in the car first." Tram said.
All this time Kero was staring at Maggie, remembering the time Sakura had fun with Towa. How he would make her do choruses and make fun of her shortness. Maggie and Tram were like the best of friends. Doing everything and having fun doing stuff together.
Maggie, and Kero walked Tram to her car. "Okay, on your mark.get set.Go!" Tram said, and she turned on the engine. Maggie pulled out her Fly card out. Kero just stood there laughing, and having fun with his new master.
Episode One - The Right Book
A girl with long, black hair was walking down a row filled with all sorts of books, in a bookstore. "Wow." She murmured to herself. She continued walking down the row to each aisle, looking for the perfect book to read.
"Maggie!" came another girl's voice. "Maggie, did you find the a book yet?!"
"No Rayani. Not yet." Maggie said, staring at the shelves.
"Well, hurry up! I want to start reading mine." Rayani said coming down the aisle and pulling out a book from the bag. "It's called Redwall by Brian Jacques."
"That's good." Maggie said sarcastically. "Go find a table and read it. I'll be there in a minute."
"Okay." Rayani said, and she walked down the aisle to go find a table to read her new book. Maggie continued walking down the aisle to the 'New Age' section.
"Man," she whispered. "Why can't I be a normal 14 year old teenager that goes out to have some fun with her friends. Instead I'm in here with my friend and sister checking out some books to do a book report. I'm always at home reading like a bookworm."
Maggie looked at the books and murmured, "Witchcraft for Beginners, Love Spells, Magic Spells, Horoscopes. Okay, full of witchcraft stuff. What's this book?" Maggie looked at the bright pink book that didn't have a title on the side like the others. "Sakura?"
Maggie looked at the cover. The cover had a golden lion while the background around the book had stars. On the back, there was a moon and a couple of more stars.
"Hey, there's a lock on it."
Maggie was opened to open the book, but voices were coming from the next aisle, so Maggie ran to the Children's section were it was quieter. Maggie slowed down to a pace as some people started to stare at her. She ignored the stares and saw a book that had a boy with untidy, black hair with glasses, and a lightning shaped scar on his forehead.
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Year one." Maggie whispered.
"Yes, excellent choice." came a voice from behind her. Maggie jumped in surprise. "Sorry to frightened you." It was a man with black hair.
"That's okay." Maggie said breathing slowly.
"Do you need any help or suggestion because I think your friend, Rayani offered me to help you," he said.
"No, I already found a book. Ahhh.this one." Maggie said taking the Harry Potter book. "Oh yes, Harry Potter. Excellent choice like I said before, and are you going to purchase that book too." He said pointing at the book Maggie was holding.
'The book I totally forgot about it,' Maggie thought.
"Yes, I'll take both of them." she said anxiously.
"Please follow me," he said looking at the Sakura book again with curiosity.
A few minutes later, Maggie walked over to Rayani with a bag in her hand. "What took you so long? Let's find your sister and go home. We better go since the book report is due in 2 weeks." said Rayani.
"Okay. The book I bought looks exciting." Maggie said looking at Rayani was excitement, wanting to open the Sakura book when she got home.
* * * * *
Later at night, Maggie was in her room putting away her homework. "Finally, I have time to read." Maggie said, since everyone at her school said that she's a bookworm. Maggie took out the 2 books from the bag and putted Harry Potter on her nightstand. Maggie looked at her Sakura book.
She opened the lock on the cover, and carefully turned the cover to the first page on the book. Instead of pages like regular books, the Sakura had a lot of bright pink cards.
Then Maggie's mind went back to the man in the bookstore were he was warning her about the book.
* * * * *
"Be careful. This book causes trouble to the owner." he said in a whisper, so that the other cashiers standing by him wouldn't hear.
"What are you talking about?" Maggie said. "How can this book cause trouble?"
"Trust me, if anything happens, come to me right away and I can give you advice." he whispered in a lowered voice.
* * * * *
Maggie shook her head and concentrated back on the cards. She pulled out 3 cards and looked at them. There were 3 creatures on the 3 different cards.
"Windy, Fly, Jump. How cool. They're like collecting cards."
There was a sudden gush of wind, and all the stuff animals on the shelves started flying across the room. Maggie couldn't see anything so she had closed her eyes. It felt as if there was a sand tornado. Maggie opened her eyes when the wind died down and notices the Sakura book floating in mid- air. 'Where are the cards?' Maggie thought.
The room started to glow and suddenly, a yellow, orange stuffed animal emerged from cover of the book. The head started to appear, next the wings, then the body and the legs. The small little stuffed animal was floating in mid-air with it's eyes closed. The glowing dimmed away, and Maggie's room was back to normal except for her stuffed animals that were thrown everywhere.
"Aww, a free stuffed animal." Maggie said stepping closer to the bear.
"I'm not a stuffed animal Sakura. You know that." The bear said opening its eyes. Maggie started screaming. Kero looked at the girl in bewilderment. "What? You're not Sakura! Where am I then?" the bear asked again looking around the room. Maggie stopped screaming and started to examine the bear.
"Uhh.I'm Maggie and you're in my room," she said slowly pointing to herself.
"Where's Sakura? Oh, I remember now, she past away from cancer and her brother decided I should guard the cards again. Oh man, I slept on the job again," the bear said.
"What's going on in here? I heard screaming!" Maggie's mom said, running in the room. "What the -"
"Uhh, I can explain everything. You see, I went to the bookstore with Rayani to buy a book for our English class and I brought this book with the Harry Potter book too. I opened this book and there were pink cards inside. I said the cards name and a gust of wind came, then he came out of the cover and started talking, which made me scream." Maggie said pointing to the orange bear.
"My name is Keroberos. Just call me Kero because it's easier. Anyways, I'm the guardian of the Sakura Stars," said the bear. "Where are the Sakura cards?"
"Here." Maggie gave Kero the 3 cards she was clenching in her hands, and picked up the pink book, which was now on the ground.
"Where's the rest of the cards?" asked Kero in a frightened voice.
"That's all of it. I looked at the cards, when I read the names of the cards. The gust of wind came, so I closed my eyes. When I opened them, all of the cards were gone except for the ones I was holding." Maggie said. Her mom was still standing by the door, staring at the bear with a stern look on her face.
"Oh great, it's starting all over again." Keroberos said.
"Why? What's wrong?" Maggie asked, looking confused.
Keroberos took a deep breath and said, "Let's start from the beginning. These cards used to be Clow Cards, made by Clow Reed, a magician with Supreme powers. He was my 1st master. Just like you, Sakura, my 2nd master, did the same thing. She let the Clow Cards go, and then she had to recapture the cards she let go, and transform them into her own. Now that you released her cards, you have to recapture and transform them into your own cards. Because if the seal is broken, disaster will befall this world. You broke the seal, so you have to capture these cards because they process magic.
"Wait-wait." Maggie's mom interrupted. "Your telling me that my daughter has to capture these cards and transform them, or evil will befall this world. What if she breaks her arm, or hurts herself?"
"Sakura never injured herself when capturing the Clow Cards. So I don't think that your daughter would get hurt. Don't worry, these cards are friendly." Kero said happily.
"How is she supposed to capture them if she doesn't have any magic?" Maggie's mom asked.
"Just step back and let me do it." Keroberos said.
"But I don't want to do it Keroberos." Maggie said, "I'm always busy with schoolwork and stuff."
"Please call me Kero, Maggie and don't worry. The magic does it all. Now would you be kind and step right there." Kero pointed to the empty space in the room. Maggie stepped to where Kero was pointing.
"Okay, stand still." said Kero as he closed his eyes. Maggie was still staring at him with a frightened look on her face. Maggie's mom was staring at Kero, figuring out what he was about to do with her daughter.
"Key of Seal." Kero began, as a key was floating between them. "Someone wishes to make contact with you. A girl. Her name is Maggie. Key! Give her power! Release!" Kero yelled, as wind started swirling around Maggie.
Maggie looked at the pink key in front of her, as it started to transform into a staff. "Maggie grabbed the staff." Kero shouted again. Maggie stepped forward a few spaces and grabbed the staff. "Another Cardcaptor is born." Kero shouted with happiness, when the wind died down.
"But, how do you know I'm a Cardcaptor? I'm don't know any magic? Maggie shouted at Kero.
"This book can't be opened, by someone without magic. You opened this book and woke me up. It means you have potential to use magic. Thanks; I've been sleeping for quite some time now. Would you mind taking me around Readington? I haven't seen this town for a long time now?" Kero said.
"Huh? Readington? That's in Japan. Were in Laguna Hills, California." Maggie said, thinking that one day she could go to Japan.
"Laguna Hills? Man, that's far from my home." Kero said, looking sad.
"Yep, it's dark out anyway, so we can't go anywhere." Maggie said. Maggie's mom walked out of the room, muttering things in Vietnamese.
"Nice staff." Maggie said, examining the staff. The staff is a long, and bright pink with a symbol of the star at the end, but the handle at the end was forest green. "This could be great for a baton." Maggie said as she began to twirl it.
"It's not always going to be a baton you know. It's only a staff when you're about to capture a Sakura Star." Suddenly, the staff became a mini key again that is in the shape of a star.
"Aww. Oh well," said Maggie, looking disappointed. "So I'm a Cardcaptor now?"
"Yep!" Kero said happily.
"So Kero, can you tell me anything about Clow Reed and why he made these cards and can you tell me anything about the Sakura Stars?" Maggie said, wanting to know more about her new magic.
"Okay. Let me see if I can remember. The Sakura Stars are alive. And each has been given a name, form, and magical powers. For example, the card of wind has the power of wind, and the card of fire has the power of flame. The cards made by Clow have incredible powers. They do as they please and nothing can defeat them. That's why Clow created this book, and sealed the cards within. And I, the Creature of the Seal, was placed on the cover." Kero said.
"Wow, so guardian you are if you let the cards go free, again." Maggie said, giving Kero a funny face.
"Well, guarding cards can we tiring once in a while." Kero said looking away. Maggie started laughing.
"Is that how you really look?" Maggie said when she stopped laughing.
"No. I'm actually quite hug, but I've taken this shape again, because my magic is dwindling." Kero said. "I like being small though. You can hide anywhere."
"Interesting." Maggie said.
"Is it okay if I could tour your house for a while." Kero said.
"Sure, but be careful of the dogs." Maggie said.
"Dogs, you have dogs in the house?" Kero asked anxiously.
"Don't worry. Sometimes there not allowed to go upstairs." Maggie said, smiling broadly.
* * * * *
The next day, Maggie woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. "Morning Maggie.
came Kero's voice. Maggie opened her eyes, and saw that Kero was floating above her smiling.
"Morning. How's your new room? Everything comfortable?" Maggie let Kero sleep in her toy room where she keeps all of her toy room. Maggie's mom didn't really approve of Maggie, letting Kero sleep in her room.
"Yeah. Everything is perfect." Kero said.
"Good. Anyways I have to go to school. It's a Monday. Great." Maggie said with a bored look on her face.
"Do you have any video games I can play with while you're away?" Kero said as Maggie was changing into her school clothes. "I love playing games when Sakura was at school."
"Yeah, I have a Super Nintendo in my mom's room and a Game Boy in here. I'll put it on my bed when I'm finished and I'll put out the Super Nintendo in my mom's room." Maggie said.
"Thank. Have fun in school and watch out for the Sakura Stars, they can appear anytime." Kero said.
"Okay. My mom will brig breakfast later if you want any." Maggie said now doing her hair in a ponytail.
"Thanks. Do you have any pudding? Pudding is my favorite." Kero asked once more.
"I don't think so, but I'll get some right after school and my mom could get some more later at the supermarket." Maggie said, now looking for the Game Boy.
"Thanks." Kero said rubbing his stomach.
"Your welcome. Here's the Gameboy. The games are in that drawer. And I'll go set up the Super Nintendo too. The games would be in the bag. After that I'll eat breakfast and go to school. I'll be back around 3 or 3:30. See you later." Maggie said grabbing her backpack.
"Thanks again. Remember don't tell anyone about the Sakura Stars." Kero shouted when Maggie ran out of the room.
"I won't. Only my family knows about it" came Maggie's voice from the hall. Kero's mind went back to when she told the rest of the family about her magic and recapturing the Sakura Stars. Her dad went crazy saying she should be careful and don't do anything that is stupid. Her mom made her sister record Maggie's every move when she is capturing the cards. Everyone else thought Kero was cute, and he was welcomed in the family easily.
Kero started looking around Maggie's room, thinking about Sakura's old room. Kero flew over to Maggie's drawer and took out the Sakura Stars book. "I miss you Sakura. I wish you were here. I don't this will be hard for Maggie but I know she could do it. Like you did in the beginning."
"I know she can do it, if we give her encouragement." Maggie's mom said. She brought in a tray full of food for Kero, and putted in down on the nightstand.
"Let's hope she can. Maggie has a partner at her school that can help her, and she knows him but she doesn't know about the partner thing yet. Thanks for the breakfast." Kero said.
"A boy? My little Maggie is going to have a boy as a partner? Oh no, she is not allowed to hang out with any boys. Unless I know him." Maggie's mom said looking frustrated.
"Don't worry, she'll probably hate the boy, since he's popular Maggie's mom." Kero said.
"Call me Kim. Let's hope she doesn't. Kim said, still looking at Kero seriously.
"Okay. Thanks for the breakfast again." Kero said, relaxing.
"Your welcome." Kim said, and she left the room. Kero looked outside the window. Maggie walked to her dad's truck and they drove away.
"Let's hope she can." Kero whispered, and he looked away from the window to eat breakfast, and keep a look out for the dogs.
* * * * * Maggie walked up to the stairs of her school. "Hi Maggie." It was Rayani.
"Hi. How is your book? Is it good?" Maggie asked.
"Yeah, it's great. It's about a mouse that kills villains." Rayani said. "How's yours?"
"I didn't start it yet. I was busy with homework and stuff." They stopped at their lockers to get their books for class. In the distance, the bell rang and they both closed their lockers.
"Well, we better get going." Rayani said.
"Okay, see you during Orchestra." Maggie said.
"Okay. Bye." Rayani walked down the hall as Maggie went in the opposite direction.
Few minutes later Maggie opened the door to her English class. She heard loud chattering from her classmates.
"Hi Jake." Maggie said nervously as Jake walked past her desk, when she was about to sit down at her desk.
Jake looked at her for a second before saying, "Hi." And he continued walking to his desk in the front row while Maggie's desk was in the back row.
Maggie turned about knowing that her face was glowing red from blushing too much. 'I always blush when I talk to him. Why?' Maggie thought.
"Awww, how cute." came a familiar voice of Rachel Pacilguarlio.
"Hi Rachel. Don't tell anyone. You promised." Maggie said.
Rachel was the kind of girl that liked to spread secrets around about others, trying to make herself popular, but luckily she didn't tell anyone that Maggie had a crush on Jake Espinosa. Only Rachel and Rayani knew.
"Promised what?" Maggie turned around and saw Jake standing behind her.
"Oh, nothing. Just a secret of mind Rachel found out about." Maggie said staring at Jake with a look in her eyes she only gave to guys she liked. Jake snorted.
"Yeah, and I promised not to tell anyone about it." Rachel said looking at Maggie with a smirk on her face, hoping that one-day Maggie could punch.
"Okay. Anyways, Maggie can I talk to you at snack? That's where your Orchestra class is right?" Jake asked, looking at her, which made Maggie jump inside.
"Yeah." Maggie said, smiling.
"Okay. Wait for me there. I really need to talk to you." Jake lowering his voice so that Rachel wouldn't hear.
"Okay, I'll see you at snack then." Maggie said looking at Rachel and giving her a look. Rachel looked away pretending she didn't hear anything.
"Okay." Maggie watched Jake walked to his desk and sat down talking to his friends in the back.
"Oh-la-la." Rachel said in Maggie's face, which broke her eye contact on Jake. Maggie looked at Rachel and they both started laughing.
From across the room, Jake looked at Maggie when she started laughing. Jake started thinking that from the moment Maggie said hi to him a couple of minutes ago, she felt different. Knowing that she said hi to him everyday when he walked in the room she felt like a normal girl.
The bell rang again, and the voices died down as the English teacher started talking knowing that class began.
* * * * *
At ten o' clock, Maggie saw Jake approach her by the music room like he asked her. "Come in here. It's more private." Jake said as he opened the door to the Color Guard Room.
"So, what's up?" Maggie said as she sat down on the chair and saw Jake locked the door.
"I know about that you have the Sakura Stars Maggie." he said slowly.
"What are you talking about?" Maggie said looking at him anxiously.
"Don't pretend, I know you have the Sakura Stars and Keroberos is at your house." Maggie's hand was in her pocket, holding it tightly on the cards.
"Don't worry! I won't steal it. I'm not like Li Syaoran. Sakura's old assistant." He said, still looking at her.
"How did you know that I have the Sakura Stars?" Maggie asked.
"I know by 2 reasons. One, when I went into English class today. I felt a strange presence, and when you said 'hi' to me, the presence was inside of you. The second reason is this." Jake took out a device from his backpack that had a Ying-Yang symbol and some Japanese words. Then he muttered, "Metal, Wood, Fire, Earth. Oracle of Thunder, and Lightning, hold fast to the ancient law!" A blast of blue light came out of the device and pointed straight at Maggie like a laser.
"I've been searching for a the Sakura Star for a while now, but I didn't know that you had them." Jake said, putting the device away in his backpack. "Where did you find it?"
"I actually bought in at a B. Dalton at the Laguna Hills Mall." Maggie said looking at Jake if he had anymore-weird stuff on him.
"At the mall? Weird?" Jake said.
"Yeah. Anyways, I have to go to the computer lab. Type some stuff up with Rayani." Maggie said getting up.
"Wait. One more thing. If you need any help or get into any trouble, just call me and I'll come." Jake said putting a hand on Maggie's hand to stop her.
"Okay. I'll try to if I have the time or a cell phone." Maggie said.
"You don't have a cell phone? I could get you one for free. My dad works for a cell phone company, and he could give you one for free." Jake said, letting go of her hand.
"Thanks. I really appreciate it." Maggie said smiling.
"Oh problem." Jake said. Maggie unlocked the door and looked outside to see if anyone was around. There was no one in sight, and Maggie was about to walk out the door but she turned around to look at Jake, in which she found him staring at her.
"Jake, where did you get that weird device? Are you a descendent of Li or something?" Maggie said, looking away.
"Maybe. I like I can be half Japanese." he said, smiling.
"You don't look Japanese." Maggie said, still smiling. Jake and Maggie walked out of the Color Guard room, and into the cool air of a winter day.
"Anyways see you in Geography." Maggie said, turning around to look at Jake.
"Okay. Bye." Jake said.
"Bye." Maggie walked away toward the computer lab where Rayani was waiting for her.
Jake stared at Maggie when she walking away. 'She really changed since the beginning of the school year.' he though to himself. When Jake couldn't see Maggie anymore he started walking to the table where the rest of his friends where waiting for him.
* * * * *
"Kero, he knows about the Sakura Stars, and he has this weird device that has light shooting out of it, and I asked him if he was the descendent of the Li family and he was 'maybe' but he doesn't look Asian."
It was around 9 o' clock and Maggie was telling Kero what had happened at school while trying to comb her dogs hair. Kero was petting the dogs. During the afternoon, Kero was trying to get use to the dogs, and he was successful with it. Knowing the dogs was friendly.
"He may be a friend of the Li household." Kero said, still thinking about Jake.
"Maggie, let the dogs go to the bathroom." Maggie's mom said from the stairs.
"Okay." shouted Maggie. "Want to come with me Kero?" Maggie asked Kero.
"Sure." Kero said. Maggie and Kero went down the stairs as both the dogs ran down the stairs first. She let the dogs out into the cold night air and Kero turned on the lights outside.
"Look at the moon, it's bright tonight." Kero said, looking up. "I haven't seen the moon for a while now."
"Yeah. Lucky! Mulan! Be quite or you'll wake up the neighbors!" yelled Maggie. Lucky and Mulan, the dogs, were barking loudly at the ground. "Why are they barking at the ground?"
"At the ground around us!" shouted Kero. "It's dark and you know what that is. A Sakura Star. It's your first capture, so good luck."
"What do I do?" said Maggie, looking frightened
"Take out your Star Key and the words will come to you." Kero said. Maggie took out the key from her pocket. She held it tightly in her fist.
"Key of the star. With powers burning bright. Reveal the staff and shine my light. RELEASE!" Light came out of Maggie's hand, while Lucky and Mulan were still barking.
"This is the Shadow Card, so you have to get some powerful, bright light!" Kero said, flying by her side.
Maggie thought and thought, but all of a sudden black stuff was being thrown at her. She kept on backing up, until she reached the edge of the pool. Maggie looked down at the pool, then an idea popped in her head. She searched through her pocket, and pulled out a card.
"Jump Card!" Maggie said. Light shot out and wings grew out of her shoes, and Maggie jumped over the pool and landed on the other side.
"Cool!" Maggie said smiling to herself.
"Cool!" said Maggie's sister Tram.
"Oh no! Not the video recorder." Maggie said, sadly.
"Maggie! Look out!" Kero shouted, as another black stuff started shooting at her. Maggie dodged the attach from the Shadow Card as she jumped onto the wall that separated the neighbors yard. "Maggie! Get some more light so that you could see the Shadow!" Kero said as he was flying towards her, also dodging the black stuff.
"Maggie, the high school!" Tram shouted.
"The high school? Yes, the tennis courts. Thanks." Maggie fly up the house roof ad took out another card.
"Fly!" Maggie shouted. The wings from her shoes disappeared and came out of the staff. Maggie climbed on the wand and shouted, " Be back in a few!"
"Kero! How is the Shadow suppose to get to the high school? It's not even following us. Actually Maggie it is." Kero said, pointing around them. The Shadow was making the whole neighborhood dark as the dark stuff was still shooting at them. Everywhere Maggie flew, it became dark.
Few minutes later, Maggie landed on her high school tennis courts. "Kero, what do we do now?" she asked as she saw the dark shadow surrounding the tennis courts.
"Turn on all of the lights and fast." came a voice in front of her. She looked in front of her and saw Jake. "I thought I told you to call me."
"Hello! I was outside letting my dogs go to the bathroom when this happened." Maggie said very rudely.
"Can we explain this later!" shouted Kero flying in between them. "Now Maggie, sense the power of the card while me and this guy right here turns on the light. Let's go kid."
Maggie was standing in the still with her eyes closed trying to sense the card while Jake and Kero were turning on the lights around the whole tennis courts.
Few minutes later, Jake and Kero came back to Maggie breathing hard from running. "Well!" said Jake.
"Quiet! She needs her concentration." Kero said.
Maggie opened her eyes, and shouted, "Over there! In the shadows where there's no light!" Maggie and Jake ran over the shadow in the corner of the tennis court. Not knowing, they were standing on Shadow Cards trap, the black stuff flew up high and started closing in on them.
"Do something!" Jake shouted.
"I know!" Maggie said, putting out another card. "Windy help me by grabbing the Shadow! Windy!" Maggie said twirling her staff around in a circle.
Kero looked at Maggie for a second. 'That's the same thing Sakura used to do.' He thought.
Windy came out of the staff and her golden skin covered the blackness of the shadow.
"Convert back to the shape you were meant to be, Shadow Card!" Maggie yelled.
The Shadow started swirling around Maggie as a card appeared before her staff. The wind started blowing around until the blackness was gone and everything was quiet again.
"Maggie! You did it!" Kero shouted flying to her happily.
"I did didn't I?" Maggie said looking at the card.
"Congratulations." Jake said smiling.
"Thanks." Maggie said, looking at the Shadow card, which was also pink like the others.
"Maggie! You did it!" Kero shouted again, then he looked at Jake then back at Maggie, "Is this the boy you were telling me about earlier? The boy you like?"
"Kero. I don't like him! We're jut friends." Maggie said blushing. "Anyways, how did I do that?"
"From your our powers." Jake said looking at her.
"That's right. Your own powers helped you captured this card. Also with the help from Sakura herself." Kero said, sitting down on Maggie's shoulder.
"Maggie! How did you do? I saw the golden-stuff cover the black stuff from the sky. Who's this?" Tram said really fast.
"This is Jake, I suppose he's my new partner." Maggie said looking at Jake.
"Jake? Is this the boy you like?" Tram said smiling.
Maggie looked at her sister and looked away shaking her head.
"I have to go now." Jake said looking at Maggie. "Nice to meet you ---." Jake said looking at Maggie's sister.
"Oh, my name is Tram." Said Tram reaching out a hand to shake Jakes'.
"Nice to meet you." Jake said shaking her hand.
"Do you want me to drive you home. It would be faster, and it's kind of late." Tram said looking at Jake.
"No it's okay. I can protect myself." Jake walked out of the tennis courts and out of Maggie's sight.
Maggie was looking at Jake when he walked out of the gate, smiling to herself. "Congratulations Maggie." Tram said putting the video camera in her face. "Well it's the first card you captured in your adventure. How do you feel?"
"I feel great. Having an assistant to help encouragement and me when I need help. This are the thing I need to help me capture the Sakura Stars before evil will befall this world." Maggie said staring into the video recorder.
"Thank you." Tram said. "And that's it for today folks. Tomorrow is another mystery for young Maggie to find her quest in becoming a Cardcaptor. Until tomorrow then. Good bye and good night."
Maggie laughed out loud. She knew her sister loved recording Maggie's every move when she did something special since she was little. Tram would always follow her everywhere she went.
"Time to go home. Wanna fly or drive home?" Tram said turning off the recorder.
"I'll fly home with Kero." Maggie said.
"Okay, I'll race you home, but let me get in the car first." Tram said.
All this time Kero was staring at Maggie, remembering the time Sakura had fun with Towa. How he would make her do choruses and make fun of her shortness. Maggie and Tram were like the best of friends. Doing everything and having fun doing stuff together.
Maggie, and Kero walked Tram to her car. "Okay, on your mark.get set.Go!" Tram said, and she turned on the engine. Maggie pulled out her Fly card out. Kero just stood there laughing, and having fun with his new master.
