CARDCAPTOR CHRONICLE: SUNSHINE ADVENTURE
EPISODE TWENTY-FIVE: SHADOW LI TAKES CENTER STAGE
It was very busy at school. Everyone was preparing for the play. Li visited the school for rehearsal. Amor was yet again complaining about the play.
"I hate Snow White," he said.
"You're very grumpy today," Bert replied.
"Thanks, I'm trying to get into character."
Madison approached them.
"How are you guys doing?"
"Madison, I love the costume," Amor said.
"Thanks! I do my best!"
"Madison!" a voice called. "We need your help! The threads in this dress are coming apart!"
"Oh! Coming!" she said. "I got to go. See you!" She ran off.
"Liar," Bert said.
"What?" Amor asked.
"You hate your costume. You say it itches."
"It's called being nice. You should try it sometime."
"Sakura, please!" a voice called.
"What's going on?" Bert asked.
A crowd was at the stage.
"It's just once," Mr. Terada said.
"Not in public!" Sakura shouted.
"Me neither!" Li said.
"What's going on?" Amor asked.
"Maybe you should have been the prince," Mr. Terada said.
"Why?"
"Li and Sakura refuse to practice the last scene of the play. They're being childish. Sakura please let Li kiss you already so we can get this over with!"
"I said not in public!" she yelled back.
"Alright, I got an idea," Bert said. "Everyone, please look away from the two acts, except the teacher."
Everyone turned their backs from them, except the teacher.
"Now's your chance."
"Alright," he said. "And action!"
Li gave Sakura a quick peck on the lips.
"Alright, I think that'll do for the rehearsal. But the kiss has to be longer than that!"
"Awww…." Sakura sighed.
"I think Li got it worse," Bert said.
"Li, no turning red during that scene," Mr. Terada said.
Li couldn't find any words.
The night of the rehearsal, there was utter chaos. There were only a few hours before the play. That gave the group a chance to check out the rest of the festival.
"Oh, look at the cute bears the grade ones made!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Yeah, they look a bit like you," Amor said.
"Humph!"
"I think they look cute," Madison said.
"This one's eyes are particularly strange," Bert said.
"I think they look very pretty."
"You think?"
"I mean this one is pink, this one is orange. Oh, this one is…"
"Dammit Jim! I'm an engineer, not a conversationalist!"
"What?"
"Nothing."
"I just don't care," Li said.
"Li's just scared because he didn't practice the kissing scene," Amor said.
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are."
"Sakura!" A voice called out. It was Julian and Tori.
"What are you guys doing here?" Sakura asked.
"We're here to see the play!" Julian said.
"And to see you screw up," Tori replied.
"Don't be mean Tori."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. After all, Sakura did 'rehearse' with that kid even before the play started."
"What do you mean?" Bert asked.
"Well, I found these two practically…"
"It was just a hug!" Sakura shouted.
"Right, right. A hug. I suppose that kissing is considered hugging now."
The intercom blared out: "Attention, attention! All cast members for the school play please report backstage!"
"We'll see if I screw up or not!" Sakura said, and walked away.
"You should be really proud of her your majesty," Amor said.
"What did you say?" Tori asked.
"Quiet!" Bert said fiercely. "Don't blow our cover!" Bert pulled Amor out. Madison followed close behind.
"What do you think he meant when he called me majesty?" Tori asked.
"Maybe he thinks of you as a kingly figure," Julian replied.
"I guess your right."
The rest of the night went without a hitch. Although there were minor screw-ups, there was quick recovery. Finally, the final scene was left.
The narrator was speaking: "And so the prince approached the princess, and was going to wake her from her eternal sleep…"
"Here I go," Li said. He was going to approach Sakura when suddenly, Shadow Li dropped in on them.
"Mind if I take over, majesty?" he asked. He quickly gave Sakura a peck on the lips.
"Ewww! Yuck!" She spat out.
"What are you doing here?" Li asked.
"Stealing the show!" he exclaimed. Just then, Monty Mole sprang out from under the stage with his cannon under him. "Time to end this play with a bang!"
Monty started firing but was quickly defeated by FLUDD.
"Where's Sakura?" Madison asked.
Shadow Li got her and was taking her to a recreation of a mountain.
"Where did that mountain come from?" Li asked.
"Damn!" Amor said. "He's recreated Corona Mountain!"
"How did you know that?" Bert asked.
"Where's my sister!" Tori shook Li. "If you do anything to her…"
"Look buddy, I didn't do jackshit!" Li shouted back.
"Li!" Julian cried.
"Sorry, I'm just as concerned as you are."
"Relax everyone!" Bert said. "FLUDD, create a portal leading to Corona."
"Portal functions engaged."
"I'm going with you," Tori said.
"You can't do anything," Amor replied. "But Julian, you're more than welcome to come."
A portal appeared. Now it was off to Corona Mountain.
