By now you must have figured it out. I'm a really big Matrix fan. Anyway, there are some quotes from that movie. If you don't like them being placed in here, stop reading now! We're at the beach.

CARDCAPTOR CHRONICLE: SUNSHINE ADVENTURE


EPISODE EIGHT: WIGGLER AHOY! FULL STEAM AHEAD!

Wiggler is a very big caterpillar. Of course it was green but this caterpillar was different. It was ten-fold its original size and had a flower on its head.

"A giant caterpillar," Bert said. "You knew this was coming, didn't you."

"So I knew that Wiggler was coming," Amor replied. "I just didn't know when."

"Exactly how many more of these guys do we face off with?"

"After Wiggler, there's Mecha Bowser and King Boo…"

"Don't get in depth, just defeat that thing!"

"Alright! Alright!"

"So…how do we defeat it?"

"That's easy! All we have to do is water the purple shrubs that grow around here. After they grow, they pop up a sand mount in which Wiggler will run on and flip himself over. Then I'll use FLUDD, jump up and butt-stomp the living crap out of him."

"Yeah…only problem is that there are no purple shrubs that sprout out sand dunes when watered!"

Suddenly, there was flash of light and purple shrubs appeared.

"That was a lucky break," Amor pointed out.

"Yeah, let's do this," Bert said. The pair headed towards where the giant caterpillar was. Wiggler was rampaging around as the people were asleep due to the effect of the SLEEP card.

" This is gonna be a piece of cake," Amor said.

" Chocolate or vanilla?" Bert asked.

" Doesn't matter." Amor went on to a purple shrub, watered it as soon as Wiggler was going towards him and the shrub blew up to a sand dune, causing Wiggler to fall on his back. He then proceeded to jump on him and butt-stomped his weak spot.

" Did it work?" Bert asked.

" Yeah…"

" So why isn't he killed?"

" Just watch." And Wiggler stopped wiggling, jumped on his feet and blew steam out from his noise.

" What the hell just happened?" Bert asked.

" I have to do that two more times," Amor said to him. "He's going a lot faster now!" Amor then did this two more times and on the third time, Wiggler turned into wet sand and disappeared on the beach. Then a small light appeared and a feather shot up. The townsfolk were waking up as well.

"Well, what are you waiting for," Amor said to Bert. "Pick up the feather."

"Not until they wake up," Bert replied. When the band woke up, Bert said to them "Hit it boys!"

The band started to play the sheet of music that he gave to them previously which was the Mario victory song. He picked up the feather and the feather disappeared as well he posed accordingly.

"I told you, I can only do that!"

"Sorry…Funny…"

"What was that?" Amor asked him.

"Well…how do you suppose that those purple shrubs grew?"

"You know what," Amor said. "I don't know. Those shrubs only grew only on Gelato Beach. I have no idea how it grew…"

"Unless…"

"Unless?"

"Unless a certain "mistress" did some magic to make them grow here.

" 'Mistress'? who are you talking about?"

As they were discussing, Sakura was hiding at her secret hiding spot and in her hand were the FLOWER, SLEEP, and SAND cards with their blue auras disappearing.

"They know," she thought. "They know about me…however…I know about them too."

Everyone woke up from their sleep and asking themselves what happened. However the pair on the beach were gone and were making their way back to the bus, they were stopped by a voice.

"Stop!" They turned around to see a blown haired boy wearing a blown shirt and green shorts. He also carried a sword on his back.

"What do you want?" Amor asked him.

"Ah, Mr. Syaoran. We were expecting you some time later…"

"Who?"

Li had an angry face on him. "Who are you two? What are you doing here? What did you do to that creature and what did you do to Sakura!"

" So many questions, Li, so little time." Bert said with a smirk.

" Answer me!" he shouted.

" We are getting aggravated," Bert said.

" Yes, we are."

" Enough of this crap, you answer me or else," he drew out his sword. "Or I'll have no choice but to resort to uncivilized action."

" You'll just have to trust us, Li." Bert said.

" Humph," Li said. "I suppose the most obvious question is, how can I trust you?"

"Bingo." Bert said. "It is a pickle. No doubt about it. The bad news is there's no way if you can really know whether we're here to help you or not, so it's really up to you. You'll just have to make up your damned mind to either accept what we're going to do, or reject it."

"Grrr…" Li put away his sword. "I'll be watching you and don't do anything to Sakura, you hear me!" he walked off.

" Man, happy much?" Amor asked.

" No," Bert said. "Not really. A shady character that Li guy. Anyway, let's just wait for the others. You go on ahead and change, I'll catch up."

"Man, why do you like screwing around with the characters here?"

"Just to see their expressions."

" Okay…" Amor said as he walked off. Bert stood at the parking lot for a while and then he seemingly said in the wind.

"Why? Why do you do it? Why keep fighting? For that feeling, I mean. Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more that your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions...Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the world itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it…Mistress…. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why? Why? Why do you persist?...Why must you persist fate?"

No answer. He walked off towards his brother to the changing room. And as he was walking, he could have heard a voice replying to his question.

"Because…because I choose to."
