Chapter Five: Fight Card

Amanda opened her eyes. Sunlight was streaming through the tiny window from where she slept. Suddenly, she heard someone getting hurt. She looked out. There was a blue girl fighting a really strong man. Or what looked like a strong man.

Suddenly, the girl stopped fighting. She bowed to the man, and jumped off. Amanda was shocked.

She fights the man, and then she runs off? she wondered.

In the afternoon, she slipped off, and goes to visit the nearby village. She saw a big crowd as she neared there.

I wonder what they're looking at? she thought.

She jostled her way to the center. Then she saw the girl fighting, the one that was near her window, in the morning.

Suddenly, the girl saw her. Amanda gasped at who she was fighting.

It's the boy I saw the other night! The girl seemed cool, distant. When the girl bowed, Amanda thought she was saying goodbye, but in the corner of her mind, it was a challenge.

She bowed, too. The girl started to punch her. Amanda blocked, and aimed a kick into the Fight Card's stomach. She felt giddy, unafraid. (kinda like Meiling)

As she fought the card, Syaoran watched in awe.

She really can fight, he thought, excited.

Finally, the girl muttered a chant, and a wand suddenly appeared.

She shouted, "Fight Card, return to your power, confined! Fight!"

The girl flowed into what looked like a glowing card. When the girl was no more, the card appeared pink. Sakura, it read. On top, was a star.

What the?! How did she become the Card Mistress?! he yelled in his mind. He was numb, just experiencing one of his first looks at the new card holder. Woner what's so special about her anyway, he thought angrily. (Sound familiar?)

Suddenly, he noticed the people around him. They were muttering," What happened to the blue horse?" and a "Mommy, I wanted to ride him!"

Finally, they went home. Syaoran turned to the girl. She was lying on the ground, brething heavily, like she just ran a race.

"Hey, are you okay?" Syaoran asked.

"Yeah," the girl said, sitting up.

"What are you doing here, prince?" she asked. "And you're also dressed in peasant clothes. She giggled.

He blushed, and turned away. "I just needed some time out," he said, galring off in the distance.

Suddenly, he said,"What is your name?"

Amanda replied, "My name is Amanda," puzzled. "Why?"
