CARDCAPTOR CHRONICLE: SUNSHINE ADVENTURE
EPISODE TWENTY-NINE: PROFOUND FEELINGS
The clouds have receded. People returned to the market place. The group was still on the tower. The princess, however, was still unconscious.
"I guess I should thank you for saving my kingdom," King Avalon said. "I guess."
"You better thank us," Amor added.
"You're talking to royalty, you know."
"Sorry. Someone needs to explain what happened here. It might as well be you."
His majesty paced up and down. Finally he said, "The reason why this 'Shadow Li' as you call him turned back to normal is because his real self awakened. When his real self awakened, the evil inhabiting his body disappeared into nothingness. All the 'feathers' representing my sister's soul and spirit returned to her."
"What did he mean when he said we tricked him?" Madison asked.
"I guess you tricked him into attacking the one thing that would make the real Li awaken."
"That's it?" Bert asked.
"I'm not like Julian. I can't explain everything at once."
"Where is Julian?" Sakura asked.
"Still on the floor."
"And you didn't even bother to pick him up?"
"I was worried about what might happen to my sister."
"I would worry about that," Yue said.
Everyone turned around; they saw the princess being held in Li's arms.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm so sorry…"
"Hey you!" King Avalon exclaimed. "Get away from her!"
Quickly, Li tried to get away from the princess. But something caught his leg.
"Ah! Let me go!"
The princess was grabbing on his leg. Li tried to struggle free.
Li tried begging for his life, "Please, your majesty, let me go!"
"I'm not going to!" She shouted. Then, she jumped on him. The princess was on Li's back.
"Owww…" he groaned.
"Good work, squirt," King Avalon said. Two guards came up. "Take him away!"
"Sir, we can't," one guard said.
"And why not?" King Avalon asked.
"Sir, her majesty is on him."
"Sakura, get off."
"No," she said stiffly.
"Oh, God I know where this is going," Bert said.
"What do you mean by that?" his majesty asked.
"I hear church bells," Amor said.
"What!"
"Like I said before, they were meant for each other."
"Just stay for a while," she said.
"You're majesty, I can't stay…" Li said.
"Yes you can."
"I can't…because of your brother's decree…"
"Tori! Lift up the ban right now!"
"Sakura, be rational!" King Avalon exclaimed.
"Do it or I won't talk to you?"
"But…"
"Do it!" she started to clench and wave her fist.
"Guh…fine…Li, I life your ban. You're welcome to stay if you want…"
"There! See!" The princess said happily. "Now you can stay!"
"You're majesty, I still can't" Li said unhappily.
"Huh? Why? My brother lifted your ban!"
"After all the pain I put you through, your majesty…"
"How many times do I have to say it! Call me Sakura! Sa-ku-ra!"
"Ah…fine…Princess Sakura…"
"No! That's not even remotely close! Call me only Sakura!"
Amor was too busy smirking.
"What's your problem?" The princess asked.
"No problem, your majesty."
"What! Tell me!"
"I told you, it's nothing."
"I order you to tell me!"
"You don't own me, so I won't tell you nothin'"
"Anything," Bert corrected.
"Whatever."
"How are we going to get back?" Madison asked.
"Wait till Julian wakes up," Li said.
"I guess we wait," Sakura said.
After heading to the throne room, the nurses put Li to bed. The princess was at his side. This was the chance that Amor was waiting for.
"Wait here," Amor told Bert.
"Why?" Bert asked.
"Because you'll get in the way."
"Humph. Fine, fine. Do as you wish." Bert walked off. Amor tapped the princess on the shoulder.
"Majesty, may I talk to you?"
"Are you the one who wouldn't tell me what you were laughing at?"
"Yes."
"Tell me what you were laughing at."
"I will, but first, I need your help."
Amor explained to the princess about the situation in their world. How time stood still and how he needed the princess' help.
"How can I help?" she asked.
"Why, reverse the spell!" Amor replied.
"I don't know how…"
"I found something that could unfreeze the spell. But this only works when you regained your soul."
"Tell me what I have to do."
"Here." Amor handed over the TIME card.
"What is this thing?"
"I borrowed it from your other self. It's called a Clow Card."
"Clow…Card?"
"Speak to it. Tell it that you need to undo the spell in my world."
"Will it work?"
"I'm counting on it."
"Okay." Sakura spoke to the card. "Please unfreeze the people in Amor's world."
Immediately, TIME's magic was released and went to another dimension; to unfreeze time.
"Hey!" Mario exclaimed. "What's-a-up!"
"Mario, come quickly!" Amor exclaimed. "Could I borrow FLUDD for a minute?"
Mario gave Amor FLUDD. "Activate dimensional view."
FLUDD gave a detailed look at Amor's home town. Time has indeed come back to normal.
"Here," Amor said, handing over FLUDD. "Where are you going?"
"The buffet!" Mario exclaimed. "I'm hitting the buffet!"
"I'll come too."
"Wait!" The princess exclaimed. "Excuse me, sir, could I talk to him for a minute?"
"Okey-dokey!" Mario said, "But don't-a take too long!"
"What were you laughing at anyway?"
"The fact that you were so shy to profess your feelings, that's all."
"What?"
"The other you, is very timid when it comes to Li. I think she's scared of commitment. Anyway, I hope that answers your question." Amor walked off.
"I need to talk to her…" the princess thought to herself.
Bert was wandering the halls. Suddenly, he heard a soft sobbing. He wanted to know what was going on, so he kept on searching and searching. Finally, he found the source. It was Madison standing out on a balcony. She was facing the city.
"Madison?" Bert asked. "What's wrong?"
"…………" She was clutching her camera. The camera wasn't rewinding; probably damaged during the battle.
"Turn around."
She does and it was obvious that she was crying.
"It's a sad thing, a camera not rewinding; makes me cry too."
"Are you coming back with us?" she asked.
"What?" Bert asked.
"Are you coming back with us! Back home!"
"Madison, I…"
She began to weep bitterly. "Damn! Damn you!" she shouted. "Damn you to hell!" She started to hit him. Bert took her by the shoulders, shaking them.
"What's gotten into you?"
"………"
"You can't be that good a person and be well adjusted."
"Why?" she asked bitterly.
"Because you wind up crying over cameras that don't rewind."
"Or hating people."
"What?"
"I just…I thought…"
"You know, the others thought that you liked me…"
Madison stood there, "It's true, I like you…" she whispered.
"What?"
"I just…thought…you felt…the same way…"
"Madison…I…" Bert lost his words. He could find anything that could comfort her. What could he say that wouldn't hurt her feelings but admit the truth?
"Say something," she said.
"Madison…"
"Say something, damn you!"
Sakura came into view.
"Hey guys!" she exclaimed.
"Sakura, thank God!" Bert said.
"What's going on?" she asked. "I heard shouting…"
"Nothing," Madison said, and walked off.
"Talk to her, Sakura," Bert said. "Please."
"Alright, I will," she answered, trying to catch up to Madison.
Amor came out of the shadows. "Whew! Man! I thought Sakura and Li had it tough! You got someone that likes you and you don't even like her back!"
"I can't love her," Bert replied. "You know that. I'm seventeen and she's…well…you know…"
"Younger."
"That's it."
"I've seen two things I thought I'd never see in my lifetime. You without words and Madison pissed off!"
"Let's just hit the buffet."
Don't worry, there's more. Please R&R this scene and see what happens next.
