Azaelia belongs to a good friend of mine, I have permission to use her character :-)

Syaoran arrived at Sakura's with little to no fuss from her brother or her dad. It was late and they understood that she was tired.

Touya offered to carry Sakura up to her room, but Syaoran insisted that he do it, because he thought it would be "honourable". Real truth was that he did not want her to suffer another bad nightmare while being carried upstairs.

Inside Sakura's room, things had changed... From her pink and white bed when she was younger now she slept in a white bed, with slight traces of pink on the headboard.

After Syaoran left Sakura on her bed, being watched over by her guardian's... She began to dream again.

[In Sakura's sleep]

Sakura walked through what seemed to be a heavily wooded area. "Hoeh?" She suddenly began to hear a gentle flute noise, coming from a part in the woods. She began to walk towards it, and there she spotted him again.

"Andrew..." She whispered, trying not to distract him. She almost gasped as she saw a ghostly figure standing there watching Andrew play the flute.

Andrew stopped playing the flute for a moment, then he looked up at the ghost. "Hey Azaelia..." He said just barely above a whisper.

Azaelia (The Ghost) nodded at Andrew, and placed a hand on his left cheek. "You're a good musician Andrew... keep it up 'kay?"

Andrew nodded back at Azaelia with a smile on his face, "I will do my love...take care up there won't you?"

Azaelia lowered her head and whispered back to him, "I will watch over you Andrew...Please remember that"

Andrew's smile went wider as Azaelia looked at him in the eyes. "I will always remember that Azaelia..."

With those kind words, Azaelia disappeared for how long Sakura did not know.

[Outside Sakura's dream]

"She's having a vision again...isn't she?" Yue looked to Kero and nodded his head. "Yes she is... What do you think I should do Keroberous?"

"I say we let her sleep...she'll tell us in the morning no doubt"

[Inside Sakura's dream]

Sakura walked out into the clearing when Azaelia had disappeared and Andrew had gone back to playing his flute.

'How can I help you Sakura?'

Sakura blinked. "Hoeh?"

'I know you're looking at me...I am talking in your mind'

Sakura then nods her head. "Thank you for clearing that up... Can I ask you something Andrew?"

'Fire away'

Sakura walked closer so she was next to Andrew and sat down on the tree stump next to where he was sat.

"I hear that you and Mr. Reed did not get along that well..."

For a moment, Andrew stopped playing the flute but then resumed.

'We hated one another, if he didn't seal me away, I might very well have tried to kill him'

"So in that case, Why were you his apprentice?"

'I was his apprentice, because he took me in when no-one else would'

"I see..."

'Sakura...can I ask you a question?'

Sakura nodded her auburn haired head. "Go ahead"

'You are the master of the Clow Cards now right?'

"Yeah...They are called Sakura Cards now"

'Fair enough, did Kero and Yue tell you who I really am?'

Sakura shakes her head. "No they didn't... who are you really?"

Andrew smiles warmly and stops playing the flute and looks at the 21 year old CardCaptor.

'I am the Star Guardian'

"Hoeh?"

'I looked after the Cards as they slept when, Clow, created them... I can understand if you want to look after them yourself but...what happens if you as well as your Sun+Moon Guardian are asleep?'

"I don't know...What happens?"

'Lets put it this way...If you don't look after them...They might very well sleep...forever'

"You mean I wouldn't be able to use them in emergencies?"

'That's exactly what I mean... If it hadn't been for me, the Clow Cards would have stopped...But there is a greater threat looming over the horizen Sakura'

"What's that?"

'You remember... That Clow created The Nothing?'

Sakura nods her head again. "Yeah...I turned it into Love"

'Yep... Now, You also should know that there are a few cards left to capture?'

"I thought I had them all though?"

Andrew shakes his head as he lays down his flute on the tree stump. 'Not by a long shot...I probably shouldn't be telling you this but... There are a few more left... about six left'

"What are they?"

'I only remember one... Destruction, very dangerous and you will need me on your side in order to take that one down... All your guardians at 100% Strength'

"Why are you telling me this?"

'Because I don't want to see you dead Sakura... you and Syaoran are the two remaining pieces of Clow's magic...together you both form his strength... with us Guardian's at your side...there is nothing you cannot do'

Sakura gulps. "If I fail?"

'You die... and one by one your friends will die too'

Sakura stands up and shakes her head. "I cannot, will not, and must not let that happen!"

'Easy Sakura... You're going to need training'

"From you?"

'Not just me...but by Kero and Yue as well as Clow Reed's reincarnation... who is it by the way?'

"Eriol"

Andrew nods his head. 'I'm sure he will remember me... You'd best wake up though'

"Hoeh?"

Inside Sakura's sleep, her brother's voice echoed through her mind, as though he was talking through her ear. "Monster...Its six thirty in the morning, you don't want to be late for work now do you?"

"HOEH!"

Andrew chuckles. 'I will be with you Sakura... fairly soon...Trust me' He winks at her. 'Plus, you'll probably start a family someday I reckon'

Sakura goes bright red and looks down with a fond smile on her face. "Maybe"

Andrew laughs as Sakura disappeared.

[Outside Sakura's dream]

Touya had gone downstairs and Kero with Yue were trying to wake the magician up.

"Sakura" Kero whispered...no response

"Sakura!" Kero shouted...no response.

Yue sighed and guestered to her Sakura card book, and Watery came out and appeared.

Yue points at Sakura and Watery nods, splashing Sakura with water on her face and on her bed.

"Hoeh!" Sakura wakes up in a start.
