Meanwhile at the Tokyo airport...
Sakura was seen wearing a new dress and hat and carrying her bag while looking outside a window to see if the plane she saw was their plane. Madison soon began to film her friend like in Akito's dream the other night.
"I wonder if that one over there is our plane?" Sakura smiled before she saw that she was being filmed.
"Okay, Sakura, act natural." Madison said.
"Y-You brought your video camera?" Sakura smiled nervously.
"Of course!" Madison beamed. "I'm going to video tape everything and then make it into a video scrapbook with my mom's new software!" she then looked so excited it was like there were stars in her eyes. "I think I'll call it 'Sakura & Madison's First World Tour'! Maybe we can use it for our Independent Study Project!"
Sakura looked bashful from that as she chuckled wearily.
"Sakura! Come on, it's time to board!" Tory called out while Julian waved at the young girl.
"Okay!" Sakura and Madison smiled as they called back to Tory.
And so, the four began to get going so that they could make their plane ride.
"Sakura, don't forget you can't wear shoes on a plane." Tory whispered at his sister.
"Really?" Sakura asked. "You can't?"
Tory nodded sharply as he sounded very serious. Sakura soon began to take off her shoes before Tory walked ahead of her with his shoes on.
"Miss, you may keep your shoes on if you wish." The flight attendant told Sakura.
"Huh?" Sakura asked before whimpering in embarrassment as her face turned red while she put her shoes back on and glared as she came to see her brother as he had tricked her. "TORY?!"
Tory chuckled innocently.
"Oh, that was so not funny!" Sakura glared as she stormed down the aisle of the plane, making a fist in one hand and carrying a bag in the other which had Kero inside.
And where Kero soon came out of the bag as he gasped for air. "Fresh air!" he then gasped.
"Kero, would you get back in the-" Sakura started to ask firmly before she saw the people on the plane staring at her, so she held her bag close and soon ran off with him in her assigned seat. "Kero, just stay hidden a while longer."
"But it's hot!" Kero complained from the bag.
"Hey, Sakura." Julian's voice greeted from behind the middle school girl.
"Julian!" Sakura gasped before she suddenly sat down with her bag behind her back.
"So are you ready for our big trip?" Julian smiled at the girl. "You know, this'll be my first time in Hong Kong too! Oh, and by the way, thanks for inviting me."
"Heh... Sure!" Sakura smiled back while blushing.
The plane soon took off for their destination in Hong Kong. Their flight wouldn't last as long as the Fudo family's which would take a while since they boarded from America.
Before long, both flights soon landed in Hong Kong as they arrived in a hotel. Akito glanced over before rubbing his eyes.
"You okay?" Estelle asked.
"I... I thought I saw something..." Akito said before shrugging as Sakura seemed to walk far past him with Madison.
"Well, let's hope we'll find the Syaoran family's place so then we have a place to stay once we get across the water." Vincent said.
"Yeah, I guess," Akito replied. "You know where to go, Dad?"
"Sure I do!" Atticus smiled. "When have I ever gotten us lost?"
Mo was about to answer that question playfully.
"Not a word." Atticus said playfully to his wife.
Mo chuckled a bit from that.
"Just stay close, kids," Atticus then said. "We'll have time to explore after we get settled."
"Okay, Dad." The three siblings replied, though they felt eager about exploring already, especially Akito.
"You ladies have a nice day." A bellhop said as he opened a door for Madison and Sakura.
"Wow! This room's huge!" Sakura beamed as she ran inside and threw her hat, coat, and bag down onto a chair.
Kero muffled and grunted since he was still inside of the bag before he came out and gasped from the suffocation. "Sakura!"
"Kero!" Sakura gasped as she knelt beside the chair to see her tiny friend. "I'm sorry."
"How could you forget I was stuck in there?" Kero glared at her.
Sakura laughed a little in response.
"This is not funny!" Kero glared before he jumped and flew out of the bag and landed on the end of the chair. "But since you brought back to Hong Kong, I'll forgive you," he then said with a little laugh. "For now anyway."
Sakura let out a small groan as she suddenly fell in the middle of the floor from that.
"Has it changed much, Kero?" Madison soon asked.
"Has it changed?" Kero wondered himself as Madison and Sakura opened the curtains to look out into the city.
"What an amazing view." Sakura smiled at the view of the city.
"Has it ever changed! Whoa! Man!" Kero cheered.
Unknown to them, Akito's and Atticus's super-hearing heard all that. Akito and Atticus blinked at each other.
"Well, Dad, I guess I won't have to look long for that mysterious girl." Akito then spoke up.
"Guess so." Atticus said.
"When should we meet her?" Akito asked.
"Hmm... Probably later on, son," Atticus suggested. "They probably have to get settled too. Maybe we'll end up running into her."
"Hmm..." Akito pouted as that sounded like it might take a while.
"Yeah, but we don't wanna come off as creepy," Atticus replied. "If they happen to go around town, we'll happen to bump into her so that you two can talk. At least... That's probably what I would do if I were your age."
"Or he'll meet her right away." Vincent said as he saw Akito going to where he heard the girls and Kero.
"Oh, Akito, you have so much to learn." Atticus sighed.
"This is gonna be good," Akito smiled hopefully to himself. "She looks friendly. I hope she's friendly." Once he arrived at the door leading to the room the girls and Kero were in, Akito knocked on the door.
"Huh?" Madison and Sakura blinked.
"Did you order room service?" Kero asked the girls.
"No, but we should see who it is," Madison said before she got the door to see Akito. "Hello!"
"Um, hi." Akito smiled.
"Can I help you?" Madison asked.
'Okay, Akito, quick; think of something so they don't think you're creepy.' Akito thought to himself.
Sakura soon took a look at Akito after hearing his voice and soon went wide-eyed as she recognized him from her dream.
"Oh, well, I was just walking around after a long trip, I like to stretch my legs, you see," Akito soon made up on the spot before he bent his knees a bit. "I just thought I'd see if there was anyone else interesting in this hotel."
"It's him!" Sakura gasped to herself.
"Did you say something, Sakura?" Madison asked as she looked at her friend.
"Oh, uh, nothing," Sakura replied as she came toward Akito with an innocent smile. "It's nice to meet you, uh..."
"I'm sorry," Akito replied. "My name is Akito Fudo."
"Are you from Japan?" Madison asked since his name sounded Japanese.
"Nope, I was born and raised in Greendale," Akito explained. "That's in America."
"That's a nice name," Sakura smiled. "My name is Sakura Avalon and this is my best friend: Madison Taylor."
"Nice to meet you too," Akito smiled back. "Where are you from?"
"Tomoeda," Madison replied. "It's really close by Tokyo in Japan."
"So, then you're visiting Hong Kong too." Akito smiled.
"Well, you could say that," Sakura said. "Actually we're here because I won four plane tickets to Hong Kong and well, here we are."
"Congratulations!" Akito smiled.
"What brings you to Hong Kong?" Madison asked.
"Oh, uh, family vacation," Akito smiled bashfully. "Among maybe a few other things."
"Well, I hope you have fun on your family vacation." Sakura smiled back.
"And I hope you have fun during your visit." Akito replied.
"I'm sure we will." Sakura smiled.
"Well, I better get back to my family." Akito said.
"Well, uh, okay," Sakura replied. "Maybe we'll meet up later then, Akito."
"I'd like that," Akito smiled. "You seem like a nice girl."
"Thanks and you seem nice too." Sakura smiled back.
"I'm sure we're all gonna have a fun Hong Kong vacation." Akito beamed before he walked off.
Sakura smiled and shut the door.
"He seemed cute," Madison said to Sakura. "Do you think he has a girlfriend?"
"Yes!" Akito's voice replied from behind the door.
"Maybe you should have waited until he was far enough away from the door." Sakura suggested to her friend.
Madison looked bashful, though Akito was far away from the door as he answered his question in his own way.
"I'm still tired from the trip..." Mo yawned. "Maybe we should wait here and get some sleep."
"That sounds good." Estelle smiled.
"Let's get settled then," Atticus replied before looking at Akito who came back. "Is that okay, son?"
"...Yeah, I guess it is," Akito shrugged as he didn't feel that tired. "We did have a bit of a long flight."
Vincent beat everybody to it as he was already fast asleep like his cat would be sometimes.
"Looks like Vincent's already way ahead of us." Estelle said with a giggle.
"Aw, Vince..." Mo cooed and laughed a bit. "Let's get settled."
"Sure, Mom." Akito smiled, though he was eager to get started on his new adventure with a new friend with his new cards.
"I think one of your cards should be able to help with sleep." Atticus told his youngest and strongest son.
"I just wanna get out and explore and start this adventure." Akito groaned a bit.
Atticus chuckled a bit. "Yes, a brand new adventure is always exciting, but you should get some rest," he then suggested. "We had a pretty long travel."
"Alright." Akito said before taking out his Clow Cards and began to look for one of the cards to help him sleep. "Huh... Whatya know...?" he then asked once he found a card which seemed to be the answer to his sleepy prayers. "The Sleep... Must be based off of Sleeping Beauty."
"I think Drell forgot to mention how to use the cards." Estelle said.
"Guess so..." Akito said with a small yawn. "Too bad we can't make him come here."
Drell soon appeared in the room and where it didn't surprise them.
"That wasn't a coincidence." Estelle remarked sleepily.
"Whoa... You guys look so zonked out..." Drell said to the Fudo twins. "Can't sleep?"
"You forgot to tell me how to use these things." Akito said as he held out his deck of Clow Cards.
"Oh, right. Well, you just use your magic and tell them to do something either in battle or, in this case, for sleep and then say 'Release and Dispel'," Drell told him. "And you also can use the magic key which can turn into a staff."
"Oh... Cool... I might try that out after I take a little nap..." Akito replied. "Thanks."
"Hey, what else am I here for?" Drell shrugged innocently before he decided to go back home.
"So how do I turn the key into a staff?" Akito asked him.
"Oh! I totally remember how that works!" Drell replied.
"Great." Akito and Estelle replied.
"All you have to do is recite these words," Drell said before reciting. "Key of Clow, power of darkness power of light, release the wand, the force ignite, release!"
Akito nodded before he took out his junior detective notepad and wrote that down for later.
"Sure, now I remember stuff..." Drell mumbled to himself. "Now I gotta find a family vacation spot for me, Hilda, and Ambrose."
"See ya around, Drell." Mo said.
"Well, I guess this is it," Drell sighed to himself. "I'm worthless."
"No, you're not." Atticus said.
"Hmm..." Drell gave a small pout.
"Go home," Atticus smiled. "We'll talk with you some other time. If it makes you feel any better though, thank you so much for this trip."
"What can I say? You and Cherry are like my children," Drell replied. "Also, these adventures will keep on going for a very long time."
"We can tell." Mo said.
"Oh, well... Guess I'll go..." Drell said. "To see my loving family."
"Goodbye, Drell." Atticus and Mo smirked.
"You're no fun!" Drell whined before he left them alone to enjoy the rest of their vacation.
"Alright, here I go." Akito said before holding the magic key.
A magic circle soon appeared under his feet.
"I hope that's a good thing." Estelle said.
"I think it is," Akito replied. "Stand back, Sis. This is Cardcaptor business... I think."
Estelle just kept on watching anyway.
"Release and dispel!" Akito soon proclaimed.
The key soon began to spin around in magic before it grew out to a staff.
"Ooh!" Estelle gasped. "Oh, Akito, that looks amazing!"
"Sure does." Akito smiled before taking out the Sleep card the same way Sakura took out the Windy card in his dream.
Estelle soon yawned and crawled over to get to her bed.
"Erm... Sleep!" Akito soon proclaimed as he brought out the sleep card.
Nothing seemed to happen.
"Hmm..." Akito hummed to himself before he remembered how Sakura got the Windy card to do as she command. "Sleep Card!" he then tried to call out and tossed it out. "Come to my aid and let me get some sleep!"
"Wow." Estelle teased before she drifted off to sleep.
"Sleep, Release and Dispel!" Akito called out and slammed his staff down on the card.
Estelle soon fell asleep while watching her twin brother. The card soon began to float once Akito did what had to be done as the magic came out from the card, and where it looked like a fairy before it flew over to Akito as it sprinkled its magic so then he could sleep.
"Hey... Who are..." Akito was about to ask before he suddenly looked stunned and fell back into his bed as he began to fall fast asleep like Estelle.
Sleep card simply smiled as she accomplished what her master called her for before returning to her card form. Akito and Estelle both fell fast asleep while Sakura began to explore Hong Kong with her brother, friend, and brother's friend as they traveled by sea in the ferry.
Sakura looked out and beamed before sitting with the older boys. "Hong Kong Island is so close to our hotel!" she then beamed before sitting back down.
"Yeah, it says right here it takes five minutes by ferry." Tory replied as he looked at a brochure.
Sakura began to lean forward over the boat to see how much closer they were.
"Hey, if you keep leaning like that, the sharks will get ya." Tory told her.
"Huh?" Sakura gulped. "They have sharks here?"
"Yep, the guidebook says so." Tory replied.
Sakura looked into the water, feeling scared as Tory smirked. However, a seagull soon flew out into the water. Sakura soon gasped as she saw the seagull.
"A shark?" Tory asked.
Sakura simply smiled as she watched the seagull before it flew above the water. "Oh, it's so beautiful! How much farther is it?" she then asked in excitement.
"Don't worry, we'll be docking soon." Julian smiled.
"I've just never been to a big city before." Sakura said as she blushed.
Julian chuckled a bit from that. "Neither have I!"
"This is gonna be the best vacation!" Madison beamed as she filmed them with her video camera.
"Film me later, okay?" Kero whispered to her as he came out of her hair.
"Okay." Madison smiled at him.
Later, Sakura, Madison, Tory, and Julian began to explore the city after the ferry finally came to a stop, much to Sakura's relief.
"Wow! Things have really changed." Kero commented from inside Sakura's bag.
"It's been a long time since you've been here Kero; I bet hundreds of years." Sakura smiled.
"But it... It still feels the same," Kero said as he began to glow all of a sudden as he took a look around. "I can still sense powerful forces, traces of ancient magic. They're as strong as ever! Not to mention that..."
Sakura and Madison looked up curiously before looking down as Kero began to much on an ice cream cone when they weren't looking.
"Oh, the food is still great!" Kero gushed as he happily ate up.
"Oh, Kero." Sakura said as that was her ice cream cone.
"Ah..." Kero smiled once he finished eating.
"...What is it?" Madison asked Kero once he looked deep in thought.
"I was just thinking how Sakura's never been very lucky." Kero replied.
"What'd you say?!" Sakura glared at Kero.
"Well, hear me out!" Kero spoke up. "I remember Clow Reed used to say that 'Nothing is accidental'. Maybe Sakura was supposed to win the grand prize for a reason. Ya never know, stranger things have happened! Especially in Hong Kong."
Madison and Sakura both looked a bit wide-eyed from that.
"Oh, come on, Kero!" Sakura then groaned from that.
A dark brown-haired girl was shown to be walking by herself as she looked around for something to do or someone to hang out with. "Hmm... What to do?" she asked herself. She soon looked over to the hotel and shrugged as she decided to check it out.
