Author's Note: Still don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Cardcaptor Sakura. Sigh. Hope you're enjoying the ride so far! It has been incredible fun to come up with the modified lyrics, and to figure out who should be singing what! Please send reviews and comments, though I won't be evil and withhold the story if the above aren't forthcoming!

Chapter Two: "We've Got A Theory/Penguins/In My Costumes

Tomoyo's theater

The group, having withstood Final Judgment, Eriol's tests and in Touya and Yukito's case, Nakuru, weathered the first song mostly intact. Sakura, however, was still trying to stretch out her leg enough to squash her brother's foot. In the end, she simply dispatched Power to do the job.

"You said there were other people besides me, right?," Sakura asked her best friend, beginning to look a little nervous at the thought of most of the songs featuring her. True, the Song had improved her voice, and the lyrics were rather catchy, but she was so embarrassed!

"Of course! I wish we could have invited Yamazaki at least, but we may as well keep the population of Tomoeda that knows about this to a minimum," Tomoyo said with a hint of wistfulness.

"Ahh, because the pillars of earth, wildfires in the park, never ending rain and the almost eternal darkness weren't quite enough to make them wonder about this town," Touya commented dryly, earning a reproachful "To-ya!' from Yukito and a smirk from Eriol.

"The people of Tomoeda choose to block many things out of memory. Very fortunate for the most of us," Eriol replied, lazily stroking his hand against the velvet of the theatre's seat. Only the very best for Tomoyo's shrine to her hobby, or her obsession as he called it when she was in the mood for being teased. But he was quite curious to see how the rest of the film would be received.

"Tomoyo, I think we're ready to start again," Eriol said, and everyone settled back into their seats. "Ruby Moon, Tsukishiro-kun, do you need any refills yet?

"Not yet, Eriol-kun, but we'll let you know when we do," Nakuru cheerfully called out. "We can send Suppi out to get our food Ð at least he won't eat our food!

"Who is this Suppi?," Spinel said, opening his eyes slowly, right as Kero protested the accusation. Right before stealing some of Nakuru's lychee gummies, that is.

Eight Ôshhhhhhhhs' greeted Nakuru's attempt to retake her candy as the screen resumed playback.

The students of Sakura's class looked at their room in shock. All of their desks were piled in a gigantic pile, stretching all the way to the ceiling. From the shouts and cries of disbelief coming from the hallway, it seemed as if their class wasn't the only one struck by the peculiar act of vandalism.

"This is going to take forever to fix!," one of Sakura's classmates said, groaning as he carefully took a desk out without bringing the entire pile down. The other students followed suit, though all wished they could simply go home instead of returning order to the school.

"We may as well get started," Chiharu said, pausing to give Sakura and Tomoyo a wave as they entered the class and stood there, mouths open wide. "But I wonder how this happened.

From the open door, the sound of a piano trickled in.

Naoko:

What could have done this?

Ghosts or monsters?

Maybe a dragon? No, it never could get in here

Sakura heard Naoko mention ghosts and immediately started shivering. "Ghosts?

Chiharu:

Who could have done this?

It could have been worse

Stacked up furniture, things will only get much more weird

All:

We've got a theory something's going on

We have a feeling

That we'll be involved before too long

Tomoyo, reaching over to wrap a comforting arm around Sakura, leaned in closer to whisper in her ear. Oddly enough, her singing voice was still at full volume, even if no one else could hear what she's saying!

Tomoyo:

Could be a Clow Card

A naughty Clow Card

One that rearranges desks and makes a mess

And maybe Kero knows and you can use your new pose (and clothes)

And capture it tonight!

Yamazaki:

I've got a theory

It could be penguins

Rika:

I've got a

Quiet, delicate Rika was cut off by the very abrupt interruption of Yamazaki, who stood in front of the pile, arms akimbo, belting out his verses. His eyes, as usual, were shut tightly.

Yamazaki:

Penguins aren't as innocent as everybody thinks they are

They're really aliens invading from a distant star

They'll take over the aquariums

Then cover the world with penguin-kind

Penguins, penguins

It must be penguins

Every single student, and Terada-sensei, who has just entered, stares at Yamazaki after his rant on the evils of penguins. Sakura, however, simply looked at Yamazaki, amazed. "Penguins are really aliens?

Chiharu reached over and grabbed her boyfriend sharply by the ear. He yelped and, properly chastised for the moment, went back to pulling out the desks one by one.

Yamazaki:

Or maybe elephants

Chiharu:

I've got a theory you were telling lies

Rika/Naoko:

It's Yamazaki. Would that really be any surprise?

The scene fades into Tomoyo's bedroom, or rather, her fashion design studio. Swaths of silk, chiffon, organza, and miles of ribbon and lace surround her. A blissful smile is on her face; she is truly in her element.

Tomoyo:

I have a pattern

I have some fabric

Sakura edged out from the left, dressed in one of Tomoyo's more intricate creations. Her lavender-eyed friend looked at her, star struck, and ran over to embrace her.

Tomoyo:

What can't you face dressed in my costumes?

Lace and ruffles will save you from any doom

Rubber kitty suit

For the Lightning Card

With a model so cute

It's not at all hard!

Sakura:

What can't I do if you're beside me?

Can be the brave girl that I must be

And when I'm scared

Don't know what to do

I know you care

Zettai Daijobu

Tomoyo/Sakura:

What can't we do when we're together?

What in this crazy town can we not weather?

There's nothing we can't face

The scene rapidly changes to another morning at Tomoeda Elementary; by this point, the classroom has completely returned to normal. Sakura and Tomoyo are talking quietly before class starts, about last night's capture, no doubt, when Terada-sensei calls the class to order.

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce our new student," he said to the fourth-graders, who looked up with curiosity. "His name is Li Syaoran, and he's from Hong Kong. Li-kun, why don't you take the open seat behind Kinomoto.

Sakura felt the heat of Syaoran's stare on her, which only grew worse as he approached her seat. After staring at the panic-stricken girl for a few moments, Syaoran finally took his seat, the intensity of his gaze never wavering. Sakura turned and looked at her best friend in desperation.

Sakura:

Except for this new student

As the lights came back to half-light, Touya leaned over and glared very hard at Syaoran. "Kozo, I don't know how my sister ever forgave you, but I still haven't," he said in a low growl. Sakura leaned in front of Syaoran could say anything back.

"Onii-chan, it was a long time ago. You don't have to be mean to Syaoran-kun anymore. And he's not a kozo!," she added for emphasis.

"No, he's a gaki," Kero said, but before he could say anything else, Yukito reached out and popped a very large daifuku in the Sun Guardian's mouth.

Every set of eyes in the room, with the exception of Kero's, looked on the boy in admiration and thanks.

"Thank you, Tsukishiro-kun," Tomoyo said. "No wonder.É" She chuckled to herself, drawing a few suspicious gazes. "In this next song, you'll see! Oh ho ho hoÉ.

Next chapter: Who isn't under Yukito's spell? Well, Tomoyo, of course. She always said she'd tell Sakura when she was older.
