CARDCAPTOR CHRONICLE: SUNSHINE ADVENTURE


EPISODE NINE: CONFRONTATION

It was the day after what happened at the beach. Sakura seemed to avoid the pair more and more. Finally, at school, Bert made the decision that would change everything.

"I'm going to tell her after school," he said.

"What?"

"I'm going to tell Sakura; about us and about everything.

"Why?"

"I want to see if she knows."

"Knows what?"

"Knows about us."

"You know she knows."

"I know, but I want to see her squirm."

"You're a really sick guy, you know that?"

The school bell rang; it was time for the truth.

"Hey!" Amor exclaimed. "There she is!"

Sakura was walking with Madison. Suddenly, Madison left Sakura and headed towards the pair.

"She wants you to meet her behind the school," she said.

"Alright, let's do this," Amor said.

Everyone met up behind the school. It was utter silence.

"Hey, Sakura!" Amor exclaimed.

She had a serious face on.

"I suppose I should thank you for helping us defeat Wiggler."

"Wiggler?" Madison asked.

"Didn't you see that giant caterpillar?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"She was asleep," Bert said. "Due to the effects of Sakura's SLEEP card."

"How do you know?" Sakura asked.

"Hmmm?"

"How do you know about me? About what I did? About…."

"I know because I've seen you did it."

"What?"

"We're from another world."

"Another world?" Madison asked.

"Just like this one," Amor said. "Only, Reedington is nothing more than a fantasy."

Sakura and Madison were stunned.

"There is no such thing as magic cards or dangerous creatures in our world."

"Or no need for them," Bert replied. "We plan to give you all the details but…"

"But what?" Sakura asked.

"I need you to trust us. All of you."

"What are you talking about?"

"He's talking about your…friend," Amor said. "Tell him to come down."

"What?"

Li jumped from a tree and landed near them.

"Li!" Sakura exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

"I told you to keep away from her," he said.

"Like I want to steal a girl five years younger from me from an egoistic maniac like you…"

"What did you say? Are you insinuating something?"

"Insinuating? No. Flat out telling you."

"Grrr…ahh!" Li pulled out his sword and started to swing. Amor started to avoid it. "Whoops! Too slow! Can't you aim right?" He put Li's arm behind his back. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be held against you in a court of law. Do you understand these rights, sir?"

"Let me go!"

"I said do you understand your rights?"

"Let him go," Bert said. "You're making it worse."

"Sorry," Amor replied. "Poking at Li is fun." He released him. "Now, you calm down, or I'll be forced to do that again."

"We mean no harm," Bert said. "So please, hear us out."

"Okay," Sakura said.

"Sakura!" Li exclaimed. "How can you trust them?"

"We mean no harm we said. Why don't you trust us?"

"………"

"Cute," Amor said.

"What?" Madison asked.

"Li's worried about losing Sakura. That what led to the problem in the first place."

"What!" Li shouted. "I'm not worried about losing her!"

"Yes you are! You're protecting her! Don't you see we're trying to help her?"

"You mean all those enemies have to do with Sakura?" Madison asked.

"Everything has to do with Sakura. Now please, we'd like to explain ourselves now."

"As you already know, we are from another world," Bert said. "Sakura's life to us is nothing more than a fictional anime series. We saw everything; how she released and captured the cards, made new friendship; that idiotic crush she had with Julian…"

Sakura began to blush. "It was a phase."

"Anyway, our world and this world aren't the only worlds in this universe. There is another world, Clow Country. Julian is a powerful sorcerer, Tori's a king, Li is an archeologist and Sakura is a princess. Tragedy struck when the princess lost her spirit and soul, due to a relic Li was excavating. The princess' spirit and soul manifested it through features and scattered through many dimensions. Li was sent to the witch of dimensions where he must sacrifice something of great value to himself in order to travel through alternate dimensions. Although this met sacrificing his relationship with the princess, he knew it had to be done. Li, along with many friends, decided to find all of the princess' feathers. Although they faced many perils, Li finally gathered the entire princess feathers and peace was restored to the kingdom. But all was not well. The king was enraged that Li put the princess in danger so he banished Li from Clow Country. To make matters worse, the princess blames herself for Li's banishment so she tried to find her. She went back to the relic that scattered her spirit and soul in the first place and the same thing happened again. Only this time the feathers came here."

"Why here?" Li asked.

"I don't know."

"Why are you helping her?"

"Due to Julian's magic, he froze our world. Nothing is moving. We need the princess' power in order to unfreeze it. But in order to do that, the princess must wake from her sleep."

"Which she can't wake from unless she has all her feathers," Madison said.

"Exactly. Now you're catching on. We were sent here because we need the princess' help. We agreed to find the feathers and bring them back to the princess."

"Then why are these monsters attacking Reedington?" Li asked. "Who sent them?"

"This is where I come in," Amor said. "These are specific monsters that came from yet another world; the Mushroom Kingdom. These monsters were last seen on an island called Delfino; near the Mushroom Kingdom. Someone must be conjuring up some powerful magic to bring them all here. We're using FLUDD, who had experience with these monsters to defeat them."

"FLUDD?" Madison asked.

The watch turned into a pump and said, "I am FLUDD: Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device."

"Pleased to meet you FLUDD!" Sakura said.

FLUDD began to make noise again. "Attention, attention, Strange anomaly detected!"

"What's it doing?" Li asked.

"Location: Reedington Amusement Park."

"Well, how would you all like to go on a field trip?" Amor asked.

"What?" Sakura asked.

"Teleportation sequence, activated."

Instantly, the group of five were teleported to Reedington's amusement park.


Now the fun begins! What will happen in the park? Please R&R this scene and find out.
