CARDCAPTOR CHRONICLES: SUNSHINE ADVENTURE

EPISODE TWENTY: EVENTS

A few days after the event, there was some troubling news on the city. News all across town, both on the news and in newspaper, reported attacks by a mysterious bird, leaving only sand behind. Strangest thing is, it only attacked at night. Amor and Bert were taking a walk around town, talking.

"What do you think it could be?" Bert asked.

"I'm thinking that we should get lunch," Amor replied.

"Very funny."

"I'm not sure. It could be Shadow Li's doing. Anyway, I'm too tired to think about that now."

"How could you say that? Innocent people's lives are at stake."

"They don't even know that we are saving them!"

"Maybe you should be satisfied that you are making people happy by saving them."

"Oh, look at me! I am making people happy! I'm the magical man, from Happyland; in a gumdrop house on lollypop laaane! In case you didn't notice, I was being sarcastic."

"No duh."

They sat at a nearby restaurant, where they found Julian, eating a club sandwich.

"Oh, it's you two," he said.

"Hello, Julian," Bert said.

"Would you like to join me for lunch?"

"Sure."

The three of them were eating quietly, Julian making idol conversation.

"How do you guys like it here?"

"It's good," Bert replied.

"Not bad, but still really hot," Amor added.

Julian became really silent. "Is there a secluded place where we could talk?"

"Sure," Bert replied. "We could go into that alleyway."

The three made their way into the alleyway, where no one could be seen.

"My other self wishes to talk to you…" Julian said.

"Other self?" Amor asked.

"Yue," Bert replied.

Almost at an instant, Julian grew wings. They covered him until his whole body was no more. After that, a man dressed in white with white hair and blue eyes appeared.

"How did you know about me?" he asked.

"And just who the hell are you?" Amor asked.

"The guardian of the moon," Bert said. "You know, Keroberos is the guardian of the sun, Yue is the guardian of the moon."

"You're scaring me."

"You didn't answer my question," Yue said.

"I thought that Kero talked it over with you," Bert said.

"He only said that you two were involved and that he would be a hero."

"I'm going to kill that plush toy," Bert thought to himself. "I have my sources."

"That's like your new line," Amor whispered.

"You're putting my mistress in danger. I must ask you to cease and desist."

"We can't," Amor said.

"It is proven impossible," Bert said. "Your mistress, as you put it, is putting herself in danger."

"How could you make these accusations about my mistress?" He shouted. "She would never purposely put herself in danger!"

"Are you sure about that?" Amor asked. "It's her good will towards others that puts her life on the line. She simply insisted that she help us. That's all."

"How can I trust that you're not lying?"

"You can ask Kero," Bert said. "If he isn't talking about himself, then you should find the truth with him."

"……Fine. I'll talk to him. But if you are lying…"

"We're not. But don't take too long trying to find the truth. Time is of the essence, Yue. Unnecessary delays will cost lives."

Yue turned back into Julian. "Did you guys talk about anything?"

"Not really," Bert said. "We should go."

The two left Julian to think. "I hope it wasn't too troubling…"

"That was fun," Amor said.

"Indeed," Bert replied. "Being threatened by a magical being is always fun. We should put that on the top of our lists besides committing suicide and trying to get ourselves killed."

"Humph."

"Now that's sarcasm!"

As they were walking they saw Sakura starring at a blue teddy bear through a window.

"Hello, Sakura!" Amor exclaimed.

She was still starring into the window.

"Sakura?" Bert asked. "Hello, Sakura?"

Still starring.

"Sakura!"

"Oh, hello," she said.

"Looking at the bears?" Amor asked.

"Yes, I am…"

"She's out of it," Amor whispered.

"That bear probably reminds her of the bear Li made for her," Bert whispered back.

"I heard that," she replied.

"Then why don't you go home and stare at the bear there?" Amor asked. "Or better yet, why don't you just visit Li?"

"I can't," she replied.

"Why not?"

"Because I misplaced the bear and you already know why I can't visit Li…"

"No, I don't know why…"

"Enough of this," Bert said. "We shouldn't force her to do what we would have done. Sakura, I hope that you will find the answers you seek."

"I will," she replied. The two walked off.

"That was interesting," Amor said.

"I know," Bert replied. "I don't know why she denies her own feelings…"

As they were turning a corner, Amor bumped into someone.

"Hey!" Amor exclaimed, "Watch where you're going!"

Li was on the ground, starring aimlessly.

"Li? What are you doing here?" Amor asked. "If you want Sakura, she's starring at the bear store."

Li was speechless.

"He probably already knows," Bert said. "He was starring at her…"

"I…I was not!" He exclaimed.

"Don't deny. I saw you."

"………"

"Why didn't you say anything?" Amor asked.

"………"

"Because he's a very shy person," Bert replied.

"I am not!"

"Then prove it! Go to her."

"……I can't…"

"Why not?"

"………"

"Foolish sentiments…they'll get in the way…"

"I don't have to prove anything to you!" He ran the other way.

"That was strange," Amor said.

"Indeed," Bert said, "Although I would like to see how this will turn out."

"Maybe we could stick around. You know, until they get married…"

"Now that's wishful thinking," said a voice behind them.

"Hmmm?"

It was Madison with her trusty video camera.

"What are you doing here?" Bert asked.

"Sakura wanted to meet me at the bear store, but I didn't find her there."

"Oh."

"She wanted lunch at a nearby restaurant. Although I don't know where it is."

"It's that way," Amor said, pointing to the direction of the restaurant they were in.

"Okay! Thanks!" Madison skipped off.

"At least that part of the day was normal," Amor said.

"Indeed," Bert said, "Although she is harboring a deep sadness within herself."

"What do you mean? I don't sense anything…"

"That's what she wants you to believe. But still, she's the only person in the anime that never found anyone particularly interested in her."

"You want her to get laid, don't you?"

"I never said that. I only said that she needs to find someone who will especially take care of her."

"Geez, now I'm more exhausted than I was before. Let's just head home and hope we won't find any more people with trouble in their lives."

A whole lot of stuff going on. What will happen next? Please R&R and find out!
