Kinomoto Residence (Saturday)

"I don't know if I want to do this," Sakura said to Keroberus, "What shall I do?"

"You can us the mirror card if you want," Keroberus playfully said.

"That's a great idea," Sakura exclaimed as she looked for the key.

"Hey I was just joking," Keroberus said while sweat drops appeared.

But too late…

The key that uses the power of the stars…

Appear before me in your true form…

Sakura, the one who has a contract with you commands it…

RELEASE!

A staff appeared and Sakura said as she holds a card, "Please copy my image and you go to the play, MIRROR CARD!"

Then a girl with a mirror appeared and copied Sakura's appearance.

"What can I do for you mistress," the mirror card said.

"Please go to the play and take my place," Sakura said.

"But Sakura, she doesn't know the lines," Keroberus said.

"I'll try," the mirror card said, "Please show me the script."

Sakura hugged the mirror card and said, "Arigato… if you need me I'm at the penguin park."

The mirror card nodded.

"Where's Sakura?" Naoko asked everyone.

"I don't know," Tomoyo said.

Then a girl with emerald eyes appeared. "Am I late," the girl said.

Syaoran became suspscious and said, "Sakura, may I have a word with you?"

"Su… sure," Sakura replied.

They went outside. "You're the mirror card… are you," Syaoran said.

"No, I'm Sakura," Sakura insisted.

"But I sense a card's aura not Sakura's," Syaoran said.

"Okay… Mistress Sakura doesn't want to come," the mirror card said.

"Then where is she?" Syaoran asked.

"At the park," the mirror card said.

"Okay… you may come back inside," Syaoran said.

They went inside and Syaoran approached Eriol. "Eriol, I'll go get something," Syaoran said.

 "I know that that's not Sakura," Eriol said, "Go then… I'll just make an excuse for you."

"Arigato," Syaoran said as he rushed outside.

"What was that all about," Tomoyo asked.

"Don't worry… Syaoran's just worry," Eriol said as he placed his arm around Tomoyo's shoulder.

On the way

"If Sakura's not careful maybe she'll…" Syaoran thought as he rushed towards the park, "Don't think like that! Trust Sakura"

Syaoran arrived at the park. He saw a girl sitting on the swings. "Sakura," Syaoran said as he placed his hand on the girl's shoulder.

The girl turned around and said, "Syaoran? I thought the play is starting right now."

"Why are you here?" Syaoran said as he sat besides Sakura.

Sakura blushed and said, "I don't feel like acting right now."

Then suddenly an aura was felt. "That aura!" Syaoran said as he stood up.

"It's coming from the forest," Sakura said.

"I'll go there," Syaoran said as he walked towards the forest.

But suddenly someone held his hand and said, "Please be careful."

"I will," Syaoran replied, "I will come back for you."

"Syaoran," Sakura said as she detached a necklace and gave it to him, "Please hold on to this... promise you'll come back safely… because I love you so please…"

Syaoran received the necklace and said, "So you kept this."

Sakura nodded. "I'll come back," Syaoran said as he went into the forest.

"He hasn't come back yet," Eriol said to Naoko, "I'll go look for him."

"I'll come too," Tomoyo said as they went to the park.

They arrived at the park and saw Sakura. "Sakura, where's Syaoran," Tomoyo asked.

"In the forest," Sakura replied.

"So they started already," Eriol said.

Sakura nodded but suddenly they heard a familiar voice. Sakura stood up and said, "That's Syaoran!"

"Something must have happened," Tomoyo said.

"Let's go there now!" Sakura demanded and went into the forest.

They all went there and saw a beautiful lady together with Syaoran. But there were two of them. They are trapped in a bubble like cage. "Card mistress, glad you came," the lady said, "I'm Yelan Li. You came along too, Clow Reed."

"You're Syaoran's mother," Eriol said, "Why are you doing this."

"Syaoran's mother," Sakura thought.

"You'll find out," Yelan replied, "This test is only for the card mistress. No interruptions!"

"A test," Sakura said.

"If you find out who's the real Xiao-Lang, he'll be you're future airen," Yelan explained, "but if not… he'll forget his memoies about Japan. Including all of you"

 "No it can't be!" Sakura thought.

Syaoran's thoughts

"Mother, why are you doing this," Syaoran asked Yelan.

"My dear Xiao-Lang," Yealn said, "the elders want to test if the one you love can be a future wife of a Li."

"But mother…"

"Meilin's love one was already tested and he passed," Yelan said, "She's the card mistress… she can do it."

"I sure wish she'll pass," Syaoran thought.

Forest

"Card mistress, where is the real Xiao-Lang," Yelan said.

"Um.. can I ask something first," Sakura said, "What is airen?"

"Sakura it's a…"

Before Eriol could finish Yelan placed a force field between Sakura and Tomoyo and Eriol.

"I told you," Yelan said, "No interruptions! Now who is the real Xiao-Lang!"
