Dear Yume,

Today definitley could have been better. I woke up with a horrible headache and have had one since. I've also been sneezing almost constantly. The weather lately has been crazy, whic is porbbaly what has caused me a cold. I had my window open last night because it was warm out, but when I awoke this morning it was freezing.

I had to clean my room today, and that didn't help. Actually, more accuratly it was that I spent most of the time I was supposedly cleaning lying on my bed and reading, since moving around to much made my head throb. I don't like having a clean room anyway, since it makes it feel too impersonal. A messy room is a happy room! It makes it feel all cozy and safe.

But then, around 3 o'clock I felt this weird feeling all of a sudden and I felt like I should look out the window. I did, and to my suprise I saw that the whole neighbourhood was covered in what looked like a tree! Oshuro woke up immediatly afterwards, and ran into the window he was so frantic! He told me it was cardcapting time, and I rolled my eyes and said I knew that already. He scowled at me, and dragged out some outfit for me to wear. When I asked him where he had gotten it from he said it didn't matter and urged me to just put it on and get outside.

For once in my life I didn't feel like arguing, even if I didn't want to put on the outfit and grabbed the cards. I opened the window, and climbed outside. Oshuro followed, and we just looked at everything for a moment. We didn't have to worry about anyone seeing us, either, because you couldn't even see ten feet in front of you! All the houses were covered and the streets were full of branches.

I began to climb onto the tree when Oshuro told me to stop, because he was trying to locate the main body of the card. He found it, and pointed in the direction of it, so I leaped onto on of the branches and we began to make our way slowly towards the card. It was a good thing that I was wearing pants! Otherwise I would've ended up tangled in the tree and would have had the worst difficulty in getting out.

After dragging ourselves through the branchs and leaves, we came to this open-ish area that was surrounded by trees. The main body of the card, which was the Wood, was standing there, and it looked like she was guarding something. There was a small bird behind her, and it looked like it was sick. She stood up and gave us a wary glance when she saw us.

Oshuro was suprised by this, and informed me that there were actually two cards to catch. One was the Wood which had caused all of the naighbourhood to become overgrown, and the other was the Flight. The Flight was sick, and the Wood had just used her powers to try to protect the Flight from everything else. But they both still needed to be sealed off, especially since Wood's powers were threatening to break the houses, and the Flgiht would be healed if it was sealed.

I approached them and started to say this to the Wood. Oshuro later told me that he was suprised at this since most people wouldn't talk to the cards on such an equal level, whereas I was acting like it was just another person. I explained this to her and she nodded. I was about to use my rod to seal her off, when Oshuro told me to wait a moment. I did, and Wood converted herself back to sealed form. Flight was left on the ground, whimpering slightly, so I sealed it off.

All the plantlife that had appeared so quickly vanished almsot immediatly after selaing off the Flight, and I was left there with the cards and Oshuro, out in the middle of the street in such an odd outfit! I quickly rushed away to the nearest secluded area and used the Dimension to get back to my room.

Despite my saving the neighbourhood, it's a rather thankless job. My mum was angry at me for not answering her calls and being late for dinner. Ah, well.... all in a day's work for a CardCaptor!
