This is a Fic is an entry for Michael's Cardcaptor's 3rd Anniversary Contest for Wednesday, August 20th 2003. I do not own the idea for this fic, nor do I own the Sparkle Cards. Naima owns the first names of the students and I own the last names. Pretty amazing, isn't it? Story Setting:: Sakura is now 36 years old and in charge of a new school of magic. Here children from all across the globe could come and learn how to use their gifts for the good of everyone. "Magic is nothing to be scared of as long as you understand and learn how to use it," said Sakura.

The world had come to know about Clow Reed, Clow Cards, Star Cards, and the origins of magic. After saving the world from destruction on numerous occasions, Sakura, Li, Meilin, and Madison had earned the admiration and respect of the world.

One day at school, Madison was videotaping for a new promo commercial, Meilin was teaching self-defense, and Li was busy mastering new arts in magic with a few students. In Sakura's class, 3 prospects of magic were about to learn how to catch and use their own Sparkle Cards. They were called Breeze, Gust, and Stream, which all happen to be descendents of The Windy Card. Sakura called upon her staff as did the children many times before. The prospects also have key chains that can turn into staffs. Sakura thought this would be easy to keep track of and learn how to use.

Sakura instructed the students, "concentrate on your magic, but always remember, respect the spirits within the Sparkle Cards, cause once they grow with you, they will turn into your own Star Cards."

The children responded by nodding their heads with great commitment, as they did not want to fail their second and most important test. (The first test, all 3 were successful in capturing the Dim, Twinkle, and Flicker Sparkle Cards, all decedents of The Light Card.)

Sakura released the Breeze, Gust, and Stream Sparkle Cards and 3 spirits appeared. Sakura instructed them that 3 new prospects had wished to be their new masters. Breeze, Gust, and Stream were unhappy, as they wanted Sakura, their creator, to be in charge of them. However, Sakura explained that she cannot live forever and it was time for them to know and trust new masters.

Upon agreement to Sakura's wishes, Breeze, Gust, and Stream went down to the arena. When they arrived, Sakura called upon the Maze Card to form a huge maze for the children to go through.

"There will be a few surprises in store so be ready," said Sakura.

The children nodded and entered the maze.

"Dark Card, RELEASE AND DISPEL!" said Sakura. The maze got dark and the children couldn't see anywhere...

What happened Last Chapter:

"Hikari!" Hikari looked up and saw Ying Hua at the end of her passage way to the right, and looked over at the other passage only to see an exhausted Haru come forth. Hikari smiled with appeasement.

"I'm relieved to see that both of you made it out safely. I do hope that your challenges weren't all that hard?" Hikari asked, looking from one to the other. Both girls smiled at each other and shook their heads.

"Not at all." Haru replied, resting her jade staff on her shoulder. Ying Hua nodded and glanced over at the arena.

"Then all that is left is this challenge. Let us help one another out whenever the time call for it." Hikari and Haru nodded and all three girls headed to the arena to face their challenge.

Chapter Three: Fight Against the Sparkles and the Wonder Ending

"Sakura-sensei!" The girls mused in surprised unison. Sakura smiled at the three girls and motioned them to the arena.

"Ganbatte, minna." She said as they past her by. Haru stood in front of Breeze, Hikari in front of Gust, and Ying Hua to Stream. As soon as the first movement was made, all six began to use all they had. Haru used her dark magic, Ying Hua her Fire, and Hikari her Water. A few times they were grouped on and took a hit from all three. Other times they used their bead magic in unison, with different spells of course, and tried to cage them.

"Kuso! I've used up all my tricks already, so what do we do?" Haru asked, backing up and meeting backs with Ying Hua.

"Stay calm. Remember that Windy is gentle; if you can show them that you can be a responsible mistress to them they will let you seal them." Ying Hua explained. Haru looked back at her friend, puzzled.

"Come again?" Ying Hua walked up to Stream, arms held out wide as if to mean no harm at all. Stream backed a bit and prepared an attack, but stopped. She watched Ying Hua's movements and saw that she had not meant any harm at all, and completely lowered her guard. Ying Hua smiled and rose up her baby blue staff into the air.

"Stream Card! By the stars above I command you to return! Sparkle Card!" Stream returned to it's card and landed in Ying's hands.

"I trust that you will be a wonderful Mistress, Ying Hua." Stream said encouragingly to Ying Hua. She smiled down at the silver card.

"Do not worry, I will do my best." She looked up and saw that Hikari had convinced her card to return and as it did, Haru was knocked across the floor.

"Strong wind!" She smirked and stood up, holding out her beads. Again, the circle formed and the wind picked up. "Spirit of Fire, create a cage to surround Breeze!" As the shadows did, embers came from behind Haru and created a cage around Breeze, enclosing the spirit inside.

Gently, the card was brought to the ground. As Haru walked over to the flaming sphere, the fires broke apart and Breeze looked up at Haru, who smiled. Raising her staff, Haru chanted, "Breeze Card! By the stars I command you to return! Sparkle Card!" Breeze, too, returned to its card form and landed in Haru's hands.

Sakura smiled as she walked up to the trio.

"That was a really wonderful job, girls." She congratulated, "From what I've seen you've passed your second test!" The girls cheered and gave each other high-fives.

"Okay, good... Right there! Perfect! That's a wrap!" Madison cheered as she looked up from her camcorder. Haru, Hikari, and Ying Hua all pretended to fight Firey, Watery and Earthy with the help of the cards themselves. It was a good thing that it was around midnight to two in the morning. That was, because, a lot of people were at home doing their homework due the next day and magic was strongest then; they had to at least make the video look real in some parts.

"I hope that it's a huge hit, Madison!" Haru clapped her hands and looked up and gazed at the stars. "And so what if it isn't, you did your best, ne?" Madison nodded and laid a hand on Haru's shoulder.

"Sakura told me how your test went! I only wish that I was there to record everything!" Hikari and Ying Hua giggled a bit as the three elementals returned to their cards.
"Well, we'll have to wait on everything, don't we?"

The next day, Sakura had taken Haru, Hikari and Ying Hua to Madison's house, where Li, Meilin and Kero were all waiting. They all seated themselves in front of a 60' plasma TV as Madison turned on the video.

The first part contains some footage from Sakura's Cardcaptor days in the background and Madison explaining the basics of everything and about Sakura's School of Magic and how you could do different things and all of that. The second part shows some clips of Sakura's Final Test with Eli and Madison telling how you need to go by tests and meeting new friends and eventually transforming the Sparkle Cards into Star Cards.

The last and final part shows a clip of the three teens 'fighting' against Watery, Earthy and Firey. The final picture is of the school with the Cardcaptor gang in the front with Kero posing and making faces. Madison turns off the tape and everyone claps at Madison's wonderful skills.

"That was wonderful, Madison! I think it's ready to go!" Meilin commented, giving a brief hug to her friend.

"Yeah, I really liked how you put in some of the older parts first then the newer ones last," Li added, smiling broadly. "It really makes me feel ten again."

"Thank you, Li, Meilin." Haru danced in her seat at the wonderful job that she felt she had done. She helped someone be a success and that was one of the most important things that was to the trio of magicians.

"You can never get any better, Madison!" The others cheered.
