Sakura & Sora's First Attempt as Thieves
(Cardcaptor Sakura OP 1 Creditless Blue-Ray)
(Sora's POV)
*It's been a few days since we captured the Illusion Card. Today, I was in Sakura's room, drawing Kero who was posing for me & Sakura. Sakura had her hair in pigtails & was wearing a red long sleeved shirt with a daisy on it over a black turtleneck, a black skirt, & long white socks. I was wearing a red turtleneck with a puppy on it, blue pants, & white socks*
Kero: Not again.
Sakura: We're almost done. Hang on a second.
*To be honest, I was a little nervous with how mine was going to turn out. Art has never been one of my best classes*
Kero: My tail's gonna fall off.
Sakura: Finished!
Sora: Me too. I think . . .
*Kero sighed in relief & relaxed*
Kero: Okay. Then let me see.
*She turned her sketch book towards him*
Sakura: Here.
*Kero's jaw dropped*
Kero: Huh!? That's supposed to be me?
*I looked at it*
Sora: Wow, Sakura. It looks just like him.
Sakura: Yeah. I like it's cute.
Kero: But I don't look anything like that.
Sakura: Oh, come on. I it's just like you.
Kero: No its not! It's nothing like me! *we both got a closer look at him* See? Look, my eyes are wrong for start. *we looked at Sakura's drawing* And my legs are much thinner.
Sora: Well, at least hers turned out better than mine.
Kero: Really? Okay, then let's see yours.
Sora: Uh . . . I don't think so.
Kero: Oh, come on! Let me see!
*I ran around the room with Kero chasing me. I was keeping my sketchbook close to my chest*
Fujitaka:*off-screen* Sakura! Sora! Dinnertime!
Sakura & Sora: Yeah!
*We both put our sketchbooks on her bed & went to leave*
Kero: Hey! Hang on! You can't just go and leave me looking like that, Sakura!
Sakura: Gotta go!
Sora: Be back in a bit.
*We left the room & went downstairs. Tonight's dinner was rice omletts*
Sakura: Fantastic!
Sora: Looks delicious!
Fujitaka: Well, what have you two been doing upstairs?
Sakura: Oh, drawing.
Sora: We're going to art museum with our art class.
Fujitaka: How exciting.
*Sakura nodded*
Sora: I guess . . .
*Touya came over with a pot of soup. It was his turn to cook dinner*
Touya: Drawing? You two were making a lot of noise.
*We both flinched a little at that*
Sakura: I know. See? We always have to talk to each other when we're drawing pictures.
Sora: Yeah, that.
Touya: They'll kick you out of the museum if they make that much noise, you know.
Sakura: No, they won't!
Sora: Yeah!
Fujitaka: Well, just make sure you don't make a nuisance of yourselves. That's all.
Sakura: They wouldn't kick us out.
Sora: I highly doubt that, Sakura.
Fujitaka: I'm sure you'll be just fine.
*Sakura seemed relieved. I kicked Touya under the table for scaring her*
*The next day, our class was at the museum. An elderly gentlemen stood in front of us*
Museum Curator: Hello everyone. I'm the curator of this museum. Today you will be sketching the sculptures on this floor.
*Sakura & I leaned in to whispere to Tomoyo & Kenji*
Sakura:*whispering* Hey, guys. It's awfully quiet in here.
Tomoyo:*whispering* Yeah. Like a library.
Sora:*whispering: Exactly.
Kenji:*whispering* No kidding.
Museum Curator: So those of you who are drawing in the courtyard, please follow me.
*I turned to Tomoyo with red cheeks*
Sora: So . . . Tomoyo. Where are you gonna start?
Tomoyo: I think I'll stay inside & draw that sculpture there. Why don't we all just go around together?
Kenji: Great idea.
*Sakura nodded & I sighed. I was kinda hoping we could be alone. Chiharu, Naoko, & Rika all came up to us & we all went to different parts of the museum. Kenji & I were standing in front of a painting of a beautiful angel*
Sora: Looks like most of the class went to the courtyard.
Kenji: You wanna go with them?
*I shook my head*
Sora: No.
Kenji: Kay. *I opened my sketchbook & my eyes went wide at what I saw on the page* What's wrong? *I showed him what was in my sketchbook. Kero had drawn over my original drawing of him with a cooler looking version of him. and there was writing that said "I actually look like this!"* Wow. That actually looks better than yours.
*Tears fell down my face*
Sora: I know . . .
*Suddenly, we heard Sakura scream*
Kenji: What was that!?
Sora: My guess is Kero did the same thing to Sakura's drawing of him.
*Kenji sweatdropped*
*Later, after I finished my work, I caught up with Sakura & we both started walking towards the courtyard. Kenji wanted to stay & work on his drawing some more. We passed a little girl with brown hair, peach skin, & amber eyes wearing a blue hat, a cream sweater over a white shirt & a red tie, black shorts, white socks, & brown shoes standing in front of a painting of a tall, slender woman with straight, pale blue hair, dark blue eyes, & elven ears, wearing a jewel with bat wings on her forehead, a long, midnight-blue dress & wrapped in dark cape with a high, wide collar that obscured her mouth. A scene of a window overlooking the beach was behind her*
Sakura: So how do we get to the courtyard?
Sora: Maybe we should ask one of the guards.
Guard:*off-screen* Hey, what are you doing!?
*We turned & saw one of the guards carrying the little girl, who had a knife in her hand*
Yuuki: Get off me! Get off me!
Guard: You were trying to damage the artwork.
*He put her down, but still held her hand that had the knife*
Yuuki: Of course I wasn't!
Guard: So what were you doing?
Yuuki: My Dad's pictures over there! My Dad painted that picture! But someone gone and changed it. They painted a woman over it!
Guard: That's crazy. *suddenly, the little girl got lose & ran towards the painting* Wait!
*She was halfway to the painting when suddenly, the lady started to glow & then her hand moved. The girl stopped in her tracks as all three of us saw the lady make the quiet gesture with her hand. Then everything went silent. Soon, the sound came back as the guard caught up,to the girl*
Guard: Come on, son. *he picked up her bag. a tag broke off it as he did.* Right. This way.
*He lead her away. Sakura & I went up to the painting & read the plaque*
Sakura: "The Smile", Tenkai Tachibana.
Sora: That's strange. Why would the call it that if we can't even see her mouth?
*Then we noticed the broken tag on the floor. Sakura picked it up*
Tomoyo:*off-screen* Sakura?
Kenji:*off-screen* Sora?
*We turned around & saw our friends*
Tomoyo: Everyone's waiting to go.
Kenji: They're all outside.
Sakura & Sora: Oh.
*We both looked at the tag. It said "2nd Grade, Room 2 Yuuki Tachibana"*
Sora:*in his mind* Tachibana? Could it be a coincidence?
*A little while later, our class was waiting at a crosswalk to get back to school. We told Tomoyo & Kenji what we saw*
Tomoyo: So the painting came alive?
*Sakura & I nodded*
Sakura: And then all of a sudden, we couldn't hear anything.
Sora: Thankfully, it only lasted a second.
Sakura: Hey, you know what I think? The painter of that picture was miserable and had a slow sad death? And so . . . *she started crying* He must've put a curse on the picture.
Kenji: Wow! That sounds really scary!
Sora: Has Touya been telling one of his ghost stories again?
(Third-Person POV)
*Meanwhile, Touya sneezed while he was in class*
Yukito: Are you okay?
Touya: Someone's talking about me.
(Sora's POV)
Sakura: Well, actually I wasn't that scared.
Tomoyo: You're really quite sensitive to ghosts and monsters, aren't you? Do you think it was you-know-what?
Sora: A Clow Card?
*Tomoyo nodded & Kenji got that gleam in his eyes*
Tomoyo: Shall we check it out?
*Sakura & I nodded. Then we all realized that our class had left without us*
Sakura & Sora: Hey!
*That night, we tried to sneak out of the house to go back to the museum. We were both wearing yellow turtlenecks & black pants, though mine were longer than hers. But we were halfway down the tree next to Sakura's window when . . .*
Yukito:*off-screen* Sakura? Sora? *we saw Yukito standing at the front door**on-screen* Hello there.
Sakura: Hello . . .
Sora: Uh . . . Hi.
Yukito: What are you two doing so late at night?
Sakura: Oh! Uh. Well . . .
Sora: We were just . . . Looking at the moon.
Sakura: Yeah! That's why . . .
*Yukito just smiled at us*
Yukito: There's a lot of stars out to. Is Touya around?
Sakura: Uh . . . Yeah. He's . . . *we both jumped out of the tree & ran to him* Please! You won't tell him.
Sora: You know there's no way he'd understand.
Yukito: No. You're both upstairs, fast asleep. Aren't you? I haven't seen either of you all evening.
*We looked at him in surprise & then smiled. Sakura was also blushing*
Sakura: Thank you.
Sora: We owe you big time.
Yukito: Just promise you won't stay out too late tonight, okay?
*We both nodded*
Sakura & Sora: Kay!
*Then we put on our roller skates & skated away. We both breathed a sigh of relief*
Sora: That was close.
Sakura: No kidding.
*She sighed again. Kero poked his head out of her backpack*
Kero: Why do you sound sad one minute and laughing the next?
Sakura: I'm worried he thinks badly of me. But then he was very kind to me, wasn't he?
Sora: I don't think I've ever seen him get mad.
Sakura: But . . . But then!
Kero: You're mad.
Sora: Madly in love.
Kero: Hurry up! Tomoyo and Kenji are waiting for us!
Sakura: Okay, okay.
*We arrived at the museum, where Tomoyo's yellow van was waiting for us. We went inside & Kero told us his suspicions*
Tomoyo: Silent?
Kenji: So you mean it doesn't make any sound?
Kero: That's right. It silent. That card hates any kind of noise.
Sakura: And that's why we think it's in the museum, cause it's so quiet in there.
Tomoyo: So what can kind of powers does it have?
Sora: Well today, it made all the noise disappear.
Kero: But I don't think that's all. I think that it's got the power to silence people and noise at the same time.
Sakura: Really?
*Kero went quiet for a moment*
Kero: Think so.
*We all groaned*
Sora: So do you think it it's a beast of the seal?
Kero: Well it doesn't speak, so it's hard to know for sure what it is exactly.
*Sakura & I sighed*
Tomoyo: Guys. *we turned to her* Come get changed.
Kenji: Yeah, it's time for the Cardcaptors to do their stuff!
*Sakura & I both got nervous. A few minutes later, Sakura was wearing a viridian beret with a blue diamond on the side, a viridian long-sleeve crop top with blue diamonds lining along the hem, as well as a pair of black bat wings on the back, black, finger-less gloves with a blue diamond on top, viridian high-shorts, & viridian thigh high boots with blue diamonds lining the side. I was wearing the same thing, only mine was a full catsuit (look up "Sora (Episode 7 Costume)" by "SwanGirl24" on "DeviantArt"). Kero was wearing a blue diamond necktie. Tomoyo was already filming us with her camera*
Sakura: These clothes are darker than usual.
Tomoyo: Yeah. Well, thieves don't want to stand out, do they?
*I sweatdropped*
Sora: Hand on! We're not going in there to steal anything!
Kenji: Then just think of them like ninja clothes. Blending in with your surroundings to avoid the security.
*Tomoyo then set her watch & pulled out a piece of paper*
Kero: What is that?
Tomoyo: Oh, it's the schedule of the museum's guards.
Sakura: Wow. Really?
Sora:*in his mind* She's as smart as she is beautiful.
Tomoyo: Yeah. You see, I came back to the museum and manged to get a hold of one. *Sakura looked surprised while I gave a dreamy sigh* Anyway, according to this, a guard patrols the area once per hour where the picture is. Which doesn't give us a lot of time.
Sakura, Sora, & Kenji: Yeah!
Tomoyo: I'll set my alarm to go off five minutes ahead of time. Just to be safe.
*She set the time on her watch*
Kenji: Okay. It's go time!
*We all quietly snuck into the museum, tip-toeing through the hallways. Suddenly, we all heard a loud sound. We looked down from a balcony & saw someone else sneaking around the museum. We got down so they wouldn't see us*
Sakura:*whispering* So who's that then?
Tomoyo:*whispering* I don't know.
Sora:*whispering* Me neither.
Kenji:*whispering* That makes four of us.
Kero:*whispering* He looks very suspicious.
Kenji:*whispering* Hey, do you think he's here to steal something?
Sakura:*whispering* You mean he's a thief? Oh no. What do we gonna do?
Tomoyo:*whispering* We'll scare him away.
Kero:*whispering* How can we do that?
*Tomoyo took out flashlight*
Tomoyo:*whispering* With this.
Kero: Huh?
*We all looked at her, confused*
*We followed the supposed thief through the museum until we came to a good spot*
Kero: What are you doing in here? *the thief stopped in their tracks* Yes, you down there. Get out of here!
*The thief pulled out a knife*
?:*off-screen* Hey! Who's that? Hey, show yourself!
*We were hiding behind an exhibit*
Kero:*whispering* He's brave, whoever he is.
Sakura:*whispering* Yeah.
Tomoyo:*whispering* What should we do?
Kenji:*whispering* Shine the light on Kero.
Tomoyo:*whispering* Okay.
*She shined the flashlight on Kero, making his shadow appear on the exhibit & then grow bigger*
?:*off-screen* Come out!
Kero: You listen to me. I'm the museum's God of Protection. You must leave at once.
*The supposed thief started to sound scared*
?:*off-screen* God of Protection? *but then they sounded skeptical* I don't believe you! Come out!
Sora:*whispering* Now what do we do?
Tomoyo: I wasn't expecting this.
*I could hear footsteps behind us*
?:*off-screen* Come out of there!
*Kero made a scary face at the thief & they fell backwards in surprise, almost knocking over a sculpture. Luckily, Kero caught it. We all went towards the thief revealing to be the little girl from earlier today, unconscious*
Kenji: It's just a kid.
Sakura: Oh, it's you.
Sora: The kid we saw.
Tomoyo: Do you two know him?
Sakura: Yeah. We . . .
*Just then, Kero came down. Struggling with the sculpture*
Kero: Will you give me a hand!?
*We quickly put the sculpture back where we found it. Soon, the girl began to stir*
Kenji: He's waking up.
Sakura: You okay?
*The girl opened her eyes & shouted when she saw Kero. We all stood up*
Sora: It's okay. Don't be scared. It's just a teddy bear.
Yuuki: Really?
*I pointed to Kenji*
Sora: My friend was using vantriloquism to make it talk.
I pinched Kero's cheeks to make it look like I was moving his mouth & he talked*
Kero: So sorry. But we thought you were a burglar.
Yuuki: Well Teddy. You scared me. Well, you're wrong. I'm definitely not a burglar. *she pointed her knife at us* But it looks to me like you guys definitely are.
Sakura: No, we're not.
Tomoyo: Actually, we're gorgeous burg -
*I quickly covered her mouth before she could make up some story about us being thieves*
Sora: Actually, we're just here to look for something we forgot this morning.
Yuuki: Well, you two look like burglars to me.
Sora: Oh, we're dressed like this because our friend here is wants to be a fashion designer. She asked us if we could model these clothes for her.
*The girl out her knife away*
Yuuki: Well, I don't really care what you're doing. I've gotta go.
*She walked away*
Sakura: Hey Yuuki, wait a minute!
*The girl stopped & turned back to us*
Yuuki: How do you know my name?
*I took out the tag she dropped earlier*
Sora: This broke off your bag.
*She took it & we all sat down on a bench*
Yuuki: So, you were there.
Sakura: You weren't really gonna slash that picture, were you?
Yuuki: I wasn't gonna slash it! I was gonna fix it!
Kenji: Fix it? Why?
Yuuki: My Dad painted that picture, you see? His names Tenkai Tachibana.
Tomoyo: Yeah, I know Mr. Tachibana. He was a really talented artist. But, last year . . . He . . .
Sakura & Sora: Oh . . .
*Yuuki started to cry*
Yuuki: Fast fall . . . He got sick and died. He did that picture last summer. When we went on our last family trip together. He wanted to paint me, in memory of our trip to the beach. He worked really hard on it. Even Mom said it was her favorite picture. But then . . . Somebody went and painted over it. Someone painted over our precious memories!
*She started to cry again. I took out a handkerchief & started to dry her tears. She looked up at me & I smiled at her. Her cheeks turned pink. Then Sakura stood up*
Sakura: That's really awful! And Sora and I know how you feel! Cause I was upset when someone drew over our pictures!
Sora:*in his mind* Actually, if anything, Kero made mine look better.
Sakura: Yuuki, we'll help you.
*Yuuki turned away from us*
Yuuki: No thanks. I don't need any body's help.
Kero: What an ungrateful little -
*Sakura & I covered his mouth. Yuuki turned back to us*
Sakura: Just joking. See?
*She started moving his mouth*
Kero: Come on, Yuuki. Please let us help you.
Yuuki: Suit yourselves. Just don't get in my way.
*She picked up her bag*
Kero: Oh great.
Tomoyo: Come on. We've wasted lots of time. Let's hurry.
*We all nodded & made our way towards the painting*
Sora:*whispering* We can't let her know about you, Kero.
Kero:*whispering* Or about why we're here.
Kenji:*whispering* We'll distract him while you guys do your stuff, kay?
*We both nodded. Soon, we found the painting*
Tomoyo:*whispering* This is it.
Kero:*whispering* And that's the Silent Card.
*Yuuki stepped up to the painting*
Yuuki:*whispering* This was painted over quite recently. So I think I peel this off quite easily.
Sakura:*whispering* You sure?
Yuuki:*whispering* Oh yeah. I used to study art with my Father.
Sora:*whispering* You're good.
*Yuuki's cheeks turned pink again. Then we both nodded to Tomoyo to distract her*
Tomoyo: Yeah, surely restoring an oil painting has to be done by professionals.
Yuuki: Eh?
Tomoyo: Why don't let the museum do it.
*While they were talking, we got ready to seal away the card*
Yuuki: I can't let them look after it!
Kenji: But Yuuki . . .
Yuuki: I can do it! I can fix it!
*We got our wands ready. Suddenly, the lady started to glow & then her hand moved again*
Tomoyo: Don't shout so loud. The guard will hear you.
*Just then, they noticed the lady making the quiet gesture with her hand. Then everything started to glow bright. The next thing I knew, we were outside of the hallway*
Sakura: What the . . .
Yuuki: Not again. Every time I get close, I end up outside somehow.
Kenji:*whispering* That's the powers doing that.
Kero:*whispering* As soon as someone makes a noise, it kicks them out.
Sora: So what are we gonna do now?
Yuuki: I don't believe this! I thought it was a ghost, so it would be gone if I came in the daytime. But that didn't work either. So now what?
Sakura: Ghost? *she smiled & went up to Yuuki* Listen Yuuki. I think what happened was because you were shouting so loud, see? I don't think ghosts like anyone making noise, so we need to be quiet.
Yuuki: Do you think it'll work if we're quiet then?
Sakura: Uh-huh.
Yuuki: But what about the ghost?
Sora: Are you scared?
*Yuuki shook her head*
Yuuki: We can get in there. *she pointed to an open window* C'mon!
*We snuck back inside*
Kero:*whispering* Now you'll be able to do your magic and pretend it's a ghost.
*We made it back to painting & Yuuki opened her bag, revealing art supplies. Took out her knife & a headlight. Suddenly, dropped her knife & made a loud clang*
Tomoyo: Oh no!
*The Card sent us back outside. We tried a third time & time, we were extra careful. Suddenly, Kero sneezed & Kenji acted like he did it. But we were sent outside again*
Yuuki: Darn it!
Sakura: Just a little sneeze . . .
Kero: You won't be able to use your incantation.
Tomoyo: We're just gonna have to find another way.
*Suddenly, her watch started to beep*
Yuuki: I'm going alone!
Sora: Yuuki, wait!
*Suddenly, Tomoyo grabbed my hand, which made me blush*
Tomoyo: The Guard will be coming any minute. We can't go in there. We can't afford to get caught.
*Just then, we saw Yuuki in a guard's hand*
Sakura: He's caught him!
Kero: Quick, let's hide!
Kenji: Come on!
*We all hide inside behind a statue*
Yuuki: Let me go!
Guard: I know you!
Sora: Yuuki . . . *I watched Yuuki struggle, when suddenly, I got an idea* I know!
*I whispered my idea to Sakura*
Sakura: Let's try it!
*She pulled put the Shadow Card*
Sakura & Sora: Shadow, pass through the glass and project our image! Shadow! *the Shadow Card created two long shadows of us* Right now!
*Our shadows pushed the guard & he fell, letting go of Yuuki. She ran away*
Guard: Hey, you! Come back!
*He chased after her*
Sakura: Alright!
Tomoyo: Yeah, well done.
Sora: Nows our chance!
Sakura: Right!
*We got our wands & shadows ready. Kenji even shined the flashlight on us to make our shadows even bigger*
Sakura & Sora: Return to your true form now, Clow Card!
*Our shadows touched painting & the Card appeared in Sakura's hand*
Tomoyo: Another success!
We hide again when the guard came back. When he saw the changed painting, he ran away screaming. We all giggled at that. Just then, Yuuki came up to us*
Yuuki: I couldn't do it. The guard caught me.
Sora: Yuuki, we a surprise. Take a look.
*She looked up & smiled. The painting now showed a girl with long hair & a big smile, leaning against a window. She ran towards the window & her cap fell off, revealing her long brown hair*
Sakura: So you're a girl. Sorry, Yuuki. I thought you were a boy.
Sora: I knew it the whole time.
*Sakura, Tomoyo, Kenji, & Kero were all surprised at me*
Sakura: Sora! You mean you knew she was a girl the whole time!? Why didn't you say anything!?
Sora: I thought I was obvious.
*Sakura, Kenji, & Kero all groaned. Tomoyo just smiled at me, making me blush*
Yuuki: It's okay.
Tomoyo: Wow, and you've got such beautiful long hair.
Sora: Yeah. It looks good on you.
*Yuuki blushed again*
*Later, we all waved Yuuki goodbye*
Sakura: Bye, Yuuki!
Tomoyo: Take care!
Sora: Bye!
Kenji: See you around!
Yuuki: Thanks for all your help! All of you! Take care of yourselves! Bye-bye!
*She ran off*
Sakura: Just to think. All that time, most of us thought she was a boy. But she was doing it all for her Father.
Sora: Yep.
Kero: Ah, what a lovely story. That all ended well.
Sakura: You rock, little bear!
Sora: So very cool!
Tomoyo: Yeah, you're great!
Kenji: Awesome!
Tomoyo: Mission accomplished. Our job is done here.
Kero: That was clever of you, using the Shadow, Sora.
Sora: Thanks. It just came to me.
(Third-Person POV)
*As they were leaving museum, nobody noticed a figure wearing a pearl green hat with orange rims, a green garment with orange rims, long sleeves with yellow rims & small bells attached to the end, thin central tail with a bell attached to the end of it on the back & a small Ying yang symbol in what seems to be a yellow sun circle, & a black symbol with three dots and at the back there is a symbol of a crescent moon on the front, over a white long sleeved undergarment, green shoes, & holding a sword, standing on the roof, watching them leave*
Sayroan: I sense a Clow Card . . .
