It was just a normal night at the Fudo household. Everybody was fast asleep in their beds as it was a nice, quiet night. However, Akito began to have a dream that felt unlike any other as he began to dream about something or rather, someone, he had never seen before.

Akito suddenly woke up in some sort of dark plane of existence before he looked around. "Huh? Who's that?" he then asked himself.

A young brown-haired girl appeared to be zipping by, almost like a witch flying a broomstick as she was coming near where he was and seemed to have a yellow creature that almost looked like a teddy bear with her.

"Is that some kind of stuffed toy flying next to that girl?" Akito asked himself. "And does that staff she's flying on have wings in the back?"

The girl soon whooshed right over his head which made his bandanna slide off, revealing a bit of an ugly and awkward haircut. Akito grinned sheepishly to himself before he grabbed his bandanna and quickly tied it back on his head conceal most of his auburn hair underneath.

"Sakura! Watch out!" The yellow creature cried out as some arrows soon came right behind them.

The girl, named Sakura, soon looked behind before seeing many arrows shooting down towards her; luckily none of the arrows hit her or the wings of her staff.

"Well, that was pretty brave of her." Akito said, relieved that the girl was unharmed, even if he had no idea who she was.

A new girl was shown to be in the sky and shooting more arrows at Sakura. Sakura yelled out as she kept on dodging as she saw the arrows flying straight at her, she was lucky to avoid them, but she couldn't do that forever.

"Sheesh! That girl shooting the arrows is crazy." Akito said.

Luckily, the arrows wouldn't hit him, though he wondered what that other girl was up to and why she was chasing the one called Sakura and decided to have a word with someone about this as soon as he would wake up. Suddenly, a boy's voice called out which summoned a lightning ball right behind the brown-haired girl.

"Whoa." Akito said.

"Oh, thanks a lot, Li!" Sakura called out to the boy who did that.

"Don't take your eyes off it!" The boy called back as he brought out a sword.

"Who's he supposed to be?" Akito deadpanned slightly from the outfit and that sword. "Link from the Legend of Zelda?"

The arrow girl soon came out and had a clear shot at Sakura and the yellow creature beside her as she got ready with her bow.

"Sakura, now!" The yellow creature told her.

"Right." Sakura nodded before taking out a rectangle-shaped card with a magic circle on the back of it.

"What's she going to do with that?" Akito asked.

"Windy Card!" Sakura called out as she tossed out the card. "Come to my aid and stop Arrow!"

The card seemed to float along as some sort of magic came out from Sakura's staff.

"WINDY!" Sakura called out again before hitting her staff on the card.

Magic shot all around before some sort of entity came out from the card with wind and began to blow at the girl with the bow and arrows.

"...Well, I didn't see that coming." Akito said to himself.

"Jump!" Sakura called out as she hit her staff on another card before a pair for wings appeared on her shoes before she jumped and ended up far behind the girl with the bow and arrows.

The girl looked up and over before she got ready to shoot again.

"Return your power, goodbye!" Sakura called out as she waved her staff. "ARROW CARD!"

A card appeared on the end of the staff as the other girl seemed to begin to waste away into the card which soon ended up in Sakura's hand as she proved to be victorious.

"Way to go!" Akito cheered, even though it was unlikely that Sakura would hear him.

"LI DESERVES THAT ARROW CARD MUCH MORE THAN SHE DOES!" A girl's voice suddenly whined.

"Yowch! Who's the whiner?" Akito complained as he cleared out his right ear.

"Wow! Looks like you've got a fan club." A black-haired girl with a video camera smirked at the boy who was named Li.

"Uh..." Li blinked bashfully from that.

"Wow! Great job, Sakura!" The yellow creature beamed at the brown-haired girl as he flew out at her. "The Arrow Card really had it in for ya! Ha! Do I know how to pick a Cardcaptor or what?"

Sakura smiled fondly from that.

"Cardcaptor?" Akito asked out of confusion.

It soon seemed like he was about to wake up.

"Uh-oh! Wait! I wanna see more!" Akito cried out as he didn't want this to end.

The next thing he saw before he was going to wake up was a room filled with water.

"Whoa... What...?" Akito blinked in wide wonder. He stepped out and it seemed like he could walk on the water like solid ground, leaving him to feel a lot more confused and where he soon saw Sakura in the room too and looked to be in her pajamas. "What is happening?" he asked himself as this was a strange situation as he saw her. "It's that girl again."

Sakura opened her eyes as she found herself in the room with Akito as some dripping happened all around them due to the water. "Where... Where am I?" she asked herself.

"That's what I'd like to know." Akito remarked from the question.

Something soon began to come out of the water and began to wrap both Sakura and Akito up. They both yelled out a bit from that, though Akito glared sharply. Suddenly, they were both dragged under the water, but didn't appear to be drowning.

"I wonder why... But how can I breathe?" Sakura asked herself.

The wraps that dragged the both of them underwater soon let them go.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked Akito.

"Oh, you can see me now," Akito said to himself before introducing himself. "The name's Akito Fudo... And, uh, you are?" he then asked.

"My name is Sakura Avalon." Sakura replied as they got better acquainted.

"It's great to meet you." Akito replied back.

"Water is everflowing..." A male voice told Sakura before echoing. "Everflowing... Everflowing..."

Akito and Sakura then seemed to float down together through the water still without drowning.

Soon enough, Akito woke up as he got out of bed. "Well, that was super freaky..." he muttered to himself before he left his bed and decided to go to the bathroom to get a drink of water. "What kind of messed up dream was that?" He soon heard his alarm clock going off. Akito groaned as he hit his alarm clock to shut it off and soon went to wash up and drink some water.

Estelle and Vincent were still asleep, though Mo woke up to get started on some breakfast for her family. As she started on breakfast, she soon heard Akito washing up.

"Well, that's new; usually all three of the kids would still be asleep." Mo said.

"Hey, Mom, just going out for a quick jog," Akito smiled as he came by. "Just gotta clear my mind a little bit."

"Okay, but be back in time for breakfast, okay?" Mo asked.

"Okay, Mom." Akito said.

Mo smiled a bit warmly as she went to cooking.

Akito smiled back and soon went to take a morning jog to himself. "Seriously, what was that dream about?" he asked himself. "Maybe I should talk to Mom and Dad about it and maybe find out who that Sakura girl is."

After a while, his jog ended as Estelle and Vincent and Atticus got up.

"Time for a brand new day." Estelle smiled once she woke up and opened her bedroom window see a lovely day.

"Springtime for Vincent and the Fudo family~" Vincent sang to himself as he also woke up.

Mo smiled warmly as she cooked while Akito came inside and wiped his forehead.

"Whew!" Akito smiled. "That was a good jog."

"Oh, good," Mo smiled back. "Your brother, sister, and father should be down in a minute. Breakfast is almost ready."

"It smells great, Mom." Akito smiled hungrily.

"My cooking is always great." Mo smiled back.

"I always say 'There's nothing like Mom's cooking'." Vincent replied.

"Same here," Estelle smiled. "Whatya got for us today, Mom?"

"I was thinking we could have some fresh... Sweet... Pancakes!" Mo beamed.

"Pancakes!" The Fudo siblings beamed back.

"I knew that would win you over," Mo smiled. "Just sit down and I'll get you guys your plates."

The Fudo kids sat together happily as today felt like a very good day so far, even though Akito had his strange dream. Atticus soon came walking in for breakfast.

"Oh, Atticus, you're awake." Mo smiled.

"Yes, I am," Atticus smiled back as he kissed her. "Good morning, my lovely family."

"Morning, Dad." The Fudo kids smiled back.

"You have to work today?" Mo asked.

"Not that I know of," Atticus smiled. "Maybe we could all have a nice day together, it's such a lovely day."

"Yay!" The Fudo kids cheered.

Their cheering was interrupted when they heard thunder coming from the linen closet.

"Aw, great, I just had to say it, didn't I?" Atticus complained to himself.

Mo then quickly gave Atticus his pancakes so that he could eat before she gave her kids their own pancakes which were in cute shapes for them, such as a superhero pancake for Akito, an artist pancake for Vincent, and a ballerina pancake for Estelle.

"Thanks, Mom!" The Fudo kids beamed at that.

Mo smiled warmly before she served herself some pancakes. Each of them began to eat their pancakes before they were greeted by a certain old, strong warlock.

"...You know, it's crazy how you still look like that from when we were teenagers..." Atticus said to Drell.

"Witches just age gracefully until they reach a certain age and turn green with warts... Except for maybe Hilda and Zelda's cousin Susie who reminds me a lot of Elphaba from Oz whenever I see her." Drell replied as he clutched his hair which had some gray hairs in it so they couldn't see.

"So, what brings you here, Drell?" Patch asked.

"I heard a certain someone had a certain dream." Drell replied.

"How'd you find that out?" Vincent asked.

"Your Aunt Cherry." Drell replied.

"Ahh." The Fudo siblings remarked as that was obvious.

"And I believe that certain someone was Akito." Drell then pointed at the middle child of the Fudo siblings.

"Yeah, I had a strange dream last night." Akito said before telling them how his dream started and ended.

"Just as I suspected." Drell replied.

"It almost reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh," Atticus commented to himself. "Mixed with some of Darla's Sailor Moon adventures."

"Also, you saw Sakura," Drell then told Akito. "She's the new wielder of the Clow Cards."

"Clow Cards? So that's what those cards were," Akito said before he asked, "What are Clow Cards and why was one of them attacking Sakura?"

"Slow down..." Drell told him.

Akito sat back and ate his breakfast while listening.

"First of all, Clow Cards are magical cards like that game of Duel Monsters," Drell started to explain. "They were created by and named after an old friend of mine: Clow Reed."

"He must have been a powerful wizard to be able to create the Clow Cards." Akito said.

"You could consider him the Maxamillian Pegasus in this situation." Drell replied.

"Great comparison." Atticus said.

"Thank you," Drell nodded. "But yes, Clow Reed was very powerful, of course not as much as myself. And as for the one who attacked Sakura, I'm not sure who you could be meaning, Akito. What did they look like?"

"Some girl with a bow and a lot of arrows." Akito explained.

"Ah, yes... The Arrow..." Drell realized. "The Arrow is an attack card and she has a bit of an aggressive temperament."

"A bit? She continued to fire her arrows at Sakura like she wanted to kill her." Akito said.

"Ah, that's girls for ya." Drell shrugged.

"WHAT?!" Mo snapped before hitting him with her spoon, though of course, it didn't hurt.

"Blah, blah, you're fine," Drell rolled his eyes. "Anyway, to my office; I have something to give to Akito."

"You have something for me?" Akito asked. "It's not my birthday or Christmas."

"It's not a present like that," Drell replied as he brought out what looked like a wrapped up box. "But hopefully these will be of use to you."

Akito soon took the box and began to open it up to see it was a deck of cards for him. "The cover of these cards look just like the Clow Cards." he then said.

"Congratulations." Drell said.

"Is this a new adventure?" Akito asked.

"Yes, I wasn't sure when it would happen, but I knew something was bound to happen after Sakura found that book where she found out about her new destiny after all." Drell replied.

"So where am I going?" Akito asked.

"Hong Kong." Drell said.

"Hong Kong?" The family repeated.

"Yes, you'll meet Sakura there," Drell told Akito. "Along with some friends of hers."

"Would they be a girl with a camera, one looking like some kind of squirrel with wings plushy toy, a boy with a sword in some kind of anime outfit, and another girl who whines thinking that the said boy deserved the Arrow Card much more than Sakura?" Akito guessed.

"Well, I dunno about a whiny girl or a girl with a camera, but it sounds like you saw Keroberos and Syaoran Li," Drell shrugged. "Could you describe these girls a bit more than just whiny or maybe wearing a sailor fuku?"

"Sailor fuku?" Akito asked.

"That's the outfit that your Aunt Darla's old friend wore in school when she wasn't Sailor Moon." Atticus explained.

"Oh, well, yeah, she had that," Akito nodded. "Plus, they both had black hair."

"Ohh... I know who you mean now," Drell then said. "Those would be Madison Taylor and Meiling Rei."

"Was she really that whiney?" Vincent asked.

Akito soon made a crystal illusion of Meilin appear.

"LI DESERVES THAT ARROW CARD MUCH MORE THAN SHE DOES!" Crystal Meilin whined.

"Yowza!" Vincent yelped as he covered his ears. "I could've taken your word for it!"

"You asked." Akito shrugged in defense before the crystal illusion went away.

"A cute tiny thing was named Keroberos?" Mo asked. "That almost sounds like Hades's dog."

"I guess if you want, you could call him Kero, short for Keroberos." Drell shrugged.

"So much better." Atticus said.

"I guess if you say so." Drell shrugged about that.

Akito decided to check out what cards he was given as Estelle and Vincent took a look too and it looked as though he had much more cards than he saw Sakura use.

"Use those responsibly now." Drell told Akito.

"I'll do my best," Akito said. "Now all I have to do is get to Hong Kong."

"I think that's where my colleague Charlie Chan lives with his family." Atticus said as he checked the newspaper.

"Atticus, call the Syaoran family; after all, your family and their family were friends too," Drell suggested. "Not just... Uh... D'oh! What was that other family name?" he then groaned to himself as his age was quickly catching up with him.

The others glanced at him, feeling confused by his question.

"You know..." Drell reminded. "That family that's friends with your family."

"Oh, you mean the Jinnouchis?" Atticus replied.

"Yes, them!" Drell then nodded.

"You should plan on retiring from doing this as well." Mo said.

"I'm fine, really," Drell told them. "I don't have Witchzheimers!"

"What's Witchzheimers?" Vincent spoke up.

"Hilda and Zelda told me about that," Atticus replied. "It's pretty much when a witch becomes a certain age where they sorta... Forget things easily and need to take it easy on themselves... Including someone who's been in charge of the Witch's Council for a very long time and looking after me and your Aunt Cherry from childhood."

The Fudo kids then nodded as that sounded quite serious.

"I'm not old, I'm fine, really." Drell told them.

"Might be time to call it quits, Drell," Mo suggested before giving a small smile. "I'm sure you were a great Head of the Council and you took such good care of Cherry and Atticus over the years, but you should probably stop and maybe focus on taking care of Hilda and Ambrose."

"No, it's okay, I can do it." Drell smiled nervously.

"Drell..." The Fudo family said with a long look.

"I'm fine, really," Drell replied. "I don't need to retire."

"I think it might be best for you," Atticus said. "Thank you for coming to us about Akito and his dream, but that might be for the best."

"Hmm..." Drell pouted a little bit as he didn't want to admit that he was getting too old to do his job.

"And I think it's time you pass down your teachings to someone of your family." Mo said.

Drell's head hit the table which tilted it slightly and made the house briefly shake.

"It'll be okay," Mo smiled. "Go straight home and get back to us once you have a solution."

"Oh, gee, will I make it back home on my own?" Drell huffed as he felt insulted.

Atticus soon decided to go and find the Syaoran family's phone number. Mo decided to let Drell have some pancakes before she sat down to eat her own as she talked with the kids for a few moments.

"All right, this should be interesting." Atticus said to himself in his search. He soon found the phone number for the Syaoran family after getting help from Ruthie.

"Anything else, Mr. Fudo?" Ruthie asked on the phone.

"That'll do, Ruthie," Atticus smiled. "Have a nice weekend."

"See ya." Ruthie replied as she hung up.

"Alright, here we go." Atticus said before dialing the Syaoran family phone number.

"Ni-Hao?" A voice greeted in Chinese.

"Ni-Hao..." Atticus replied, prepared to speak in Chinese, but took out his old Equestrian medallion to keep up the conversation, though he was skilled in languages thanks to his job as a detective. "Is this the Syaoran house?"

"Yes, it is," A woman's voice replied. "This is Yelan Li."

"My name is Atticus Fudo and my family and I will be coming to Hong Kong and wanted to know if you have enough room for us to come over and stay for a while." Atticus replied back.

"Oh, I'm sure I could make some sort of living arrangements for you and your family..." Yelan replied. "Fudo, huh? I don't think I've heard that name in a long time. How many is in your family?"

"Me and my wife and our three kids." Atticus informed.

"Yes, yes... Let me see..." Yelan nodded as she checked her home.

"I have a feeling she'll have enough room." Drell said.

"Take your time," Atticus smiled as he took out his notepad to make a plan for his family. "Just know that two of my children are twins."

"Yes, yes," Yelan replied. "I seem to have a spare guest room for a couple, like you and your wife, and a room for your children. I just hope they don't mind my children."

"They won't mind." Atticus said.

"Where are you coming from then?" Yelan asked.

"Greendale," Atticus smiled. "The kids have been here their whole lives... Mostly..." he then added softly from that last part with Vincent's situation, but didn't bring it up.

"That is very far." Yelan said.

"I'm used to traveling," Atticus replied. "I'm an ace detective."

"Who gets lucky all the time..." Drell remarked.

"Are you eavesdropping?!" Atticus scolded as he put his phone down briefly.

Drell soon shuffled along bashfully away from the door.

"That is most impressive, Mr. Fudo." Yelan said.

"I do my best," Atticus beamed at his success. "Also, Hong Kong sounds like a nice vacation spot."

"Yes, the kids will be over for their Spring Break." Yelan told him.

"Spring Break is always great." Atticus smiled.

"You seem like a very kind man," Yelan smiled back warmly. "I can't wait to meet you and your family."

"Same to you, Yelan." Atticus smiled back.

Eventually, the two hung up.

"Well... I guess I better get going..." Drell said. "Go see Hilda and Ambrose."

"See ya later, Drell." The Fudo kids smiled.

"They tell me I'm getting too old... I'll show them... I'm fine... Totally fine..." Drell mumbled to himself as he soon went back home to his wife and son.

"So, when should we go to Hong Kong?" Akito asked his family.

"Hmm... We'd have to make some arrangements..." Mo replied. "Maybe we should get ready tonight and check for flights so we could get ready to get going if you wanna go the old-fashioned way."

"Well, I guess part of the family vacation experience is to do it that way." Estelle shrugged.

"That's true." Vincent nodded.

"And luckily, I found a place for us to stay in Hong Kong," Atticus smiled as he came by. "This could be one of our best family vacations ever."

"Yeah!" The Fudo kids cheered.

"Let's go check for flights and tickets," Atticus smiled at Mo. "We'll pack a few snacks since the trip will be a bit long, but at least it'll be by plane."

"I guess it would be more fun that way than if we just traveled by magic," Mo smiled back. "I really look forward to the trip."

"Same here." Atticus smiled back.

The Fudo kids smiled at their parents as they continued to eat their breakfast.
