Todd + Sakura

"Yeah...I would love to go out with Sakura." Todd replied. "I don't have any money though..."

"Don't worry about it! I'm sure you'll get your chance soon enough." Meilin replied enthusiastically. Meilin smiled as she hung up the phone and she went to her room. "I need to make this night a
special night for them both. I want them to be happy with one another...maybe they'll fall in love.
Sakura and Todd make the most perfect couple! They're so much better a couple than Sakura and
Li." Meilin smiled as she got out some paper and looked up in pondering. "Her diary said that she
liked him...I'll try to turn that like into a love! They'll be happy together and if they're happy then I'm
happy because I've got Li all to myself now!"

Li stepped out of his room and he was in his training clothes. He turned to Meilin who was busy getting some phone books and turned to him. "Hi Li, are you going to do some training?"

"Yes, I am." Li nodded. "You'll have to train with me so get into your training clothes."

Meilin sighed and closed her door and got into her training clothes. The training began, Li attacked and Meilin managed to evade and block all of his attacks. Meilin countered and they were blocked. The training went on like that, Li and Meilin attacking and blocking and nothing else. Forty minutes passed and they went to the kitchen to get some water when the phone rang. Li went to the phone and answered it. "Hello? Li speaking."

"Li! You've got to come quick, there's a clow card around and we need you to help us find it!" Sakura replied, worried. "We don't even know where or what it is but we'd better find it before the naughty ones do!"

Suddenly Li saw a doorway of light appear in front of him. He talked back into the phone. "Todd's using the through card, right?"

"Right! Bring Meilin along and we'll catch it! See you here!" Sakura hung up the phone and waited.

Li found Meilin and stepped through the door. They came out inside the penguin slide and climbed out the opening. They saw Todd in boots, a blue cape and a vest with designs on it. Todd shrugged when they walked up to him. "It's another one of Madison's masterpieces. At least I'm not a bunny anymore."

"I thought about it and realized it would make Todd look very heroic!" Madison replied warmly. "It boosts Todd's character.

"Hey! I don't need to be heroic!" Todd blinked and gains sarcasm. "Thanks for believing in me..."

"Oh don't worry, I was only joking! Now smile for the camera!" Madison asked as she zoomed in on him.

"Thanks for calling us." Li said to Sakura and she smiled back. "Now let's find this clow card." He took out his Lasin board and started to chant. "Force of light with ancient spin, send forth the magic power within! Force, know my plight. Release the light!!" The Lasin board glowed and flashed. It sent out a luminous blue beam eastward.

They all ran in the direction of the compass beam to a little boy who was crying for help. He was on a balloon and the balloon was blowing away from the town. "Help me! Somebody!"

"Why on earth are you up there?" Todd shouted from down to earth. "Cover your eyes! It's gonna get scary for you!"

"Okay!" The little boy closed his eyes tight.

Todd took out his pocket spear and chanted. "Spear of Todd...release!" His pocket spear glowed and flashed. It grew to full size and he took it into his hands. He quickly took out the Sleep card and chanted. "Sleep card, release and dispel! Put the boy up in the balloon to sleep!" Todd brought his spear down on the card and it broke into a swirling mass of energy which transformed into sleep. Sleep flew up to the kid and he still had his hands over his eyes. Sleep sprinkled the dust onto the kid and he was snoring in no time.

"Now I'll fly up there and rescue him." Todd nodded to everyone else. "Let's fly!!" Todd slammed the Fly card and white wings grew on his spearhead. Todd hopped onto his spear and rode to the boy but met some resistance. Float decided to deflate the balloon and send it falling back down to earth. It dropped suddenly and knocked Todd off of his spear on the way up. He gained control again but everyone who looked on gazed in horror as the balloon fell.

"Little Card...release and dispel. Turn the balloon and the boy small enough for me to catch them." Someone shouted. From out of nowhere, Little's tiny form jumped onto the balloon, shrinking it really tiny, so tiny that the wind could gently take it down. The balloon dropped into the hands of the Mysterious Stranger.

"The Mysterious Stranger!" Todd shouted, almost surprised. "She has it!"

The Mysterious Stranger commanded Little to return the sleeping boy to his normal size and with a tiny touch, the boy returned to his size, still snoring. She walked up to Todd and was holding the balloon. "Now you seal it. It's the float card."

Todd brought his spear up and shouted. "Return to your power confined...Float Card!" Todd brought his spear down almost onto the balloon and a clow card appeared on his spear tip. Float got sucked into it and the picture appeared on the clow card. The card flew into the Mysterious stranger's hand and she took it. "Um...mamm, what have you been doing all this time."

"Watching the situation, you've become very adept at this card capturing business. You haven't needed my help in a long time so I didn't give it. This is also another card that I need. I hope you will forgive me for not being here to help you." The Shrouded one apologized. "May your quest to capture the cards be a successful one.

Todd smiled at her and she smiled back. He shrugged and said. "It's no big deal that you haven't come, I have my friends here to help me. How many more cards do you need to break that curse?"

"Two more..." She replied somberly. "Once I use them to help break my curse, you can have them." She dashed off at that, Leaving Todd and the others looking strangely after her.

"So she's going to give the cards to me when she's done huh? That's good." Todd said to everyone. "Well, let's go home."

"Great capture!" Kero complimented. "Madison got it all on video!"

"Another movie for my archives!" Madison giggled. "I already have about 40 movies."

"Forty movies!?" Todd stammered.

They all walked home and Meilin and Madison were talking along the way. They walked behind everyone else who were heading back to Sakura's house for pudding. Meilin smiled to Madison and she nodded in replied. "So you really want to do this?"

"Sure! I think they'll be happy together!" Meilin winked. "Todd and Sakura is much better than Li and Sakura..."

"I sense an ulterior motive here..." Madison commented, almost mischievously. "Why do you want Todd and Sakura to be a couple? Would it by chance give you a better chance with a certain brown eyed boy we all know?"

"Well..." Meilin blushed. "I was just wondering if you could help me out?"

"Well...okay, I'll help you. Todd and Sakura really wouldn't make a bad couple. I'm willing to pay for the date if you can make all the arrangements and stuff like that." Madison smiled. "We'll try our best to get them closer together..."

Meilin nodded and they both called out to Sakura, Li and Todd. Madison stepped up to them and said. "You guys go on ahead, Meilin and I have a...project to do. See you guys later!" Meilin and Madison both ran off to Madison's house with the rest looking back at them in an odd way.

"What kind of project?" Sakura asked. "Is it the geography project? I didn't know they were partners...?"

At Madison's house and about an hour later, Madison and Meilin were rooting through the fashion directory of the house. That fashion directory was the area where the Taylors do all of their second business work in fashion. Madison picked up a dress and showed Meilin. "How about this one?" It was a gorgeous sequined Blue dress that looked very nice to their eyes.

"That one looks good. We could have a pink or white corsage to spice it up." Meilin smiled. "I've already made arrangements to the Kejona, you know...that fancy restaurant where they have formal wear." There's also balcony dancing too but do you really think Todd and Sakura can waltz?"

"I don't know...maybe we could give them some lessons!" Madison replied. "I know Sakura's pretty good at it but what about Todd?"

"How about if you yourself give Todd lessons!" Meilin asked malevolently. "I know you wanted to..."

"No..." Madison blushed. "I can't..."

"Do it..." Meilin coaxed. "I'm starting to think that..."

"Okay! I'll do it!" Meilin smiled. "Got nothing to lose!"

Madison called Todd up on the phone and Todd picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hi Todd...this is Madison. I was wondering if you could come over to my house...?" Madison gushed and turned a little red. "I want to...teach you to dance..."

"What?" Todd asked in disbelief. "What do you mean? Dancing...with...me?" He blushed a deep red. "Okay...I'll do it. I'll be over in ten." Todd hung up the phone and Kero floated to him and he smiled. "Oh man..." He quickly got his roller blades and got out the door.

"What was that about?" Kero asked but then became angry. "HEY! Why didn't he take me along?!"

Todd skated to Madison's house and the lady guards asked him about his business. Todd explained the whole situation to them and blushed halfway through. They realized the appointment and let him in. Meilin was walking out when Todd was walking in. On the way, Meilin smiled at Todd and said. "Good luck tonight!"

"What?" Todd asked but she was too far away to hear it. He shrugged and went into the building that her guards told him to go in. There, she found Madison staring back at him, grinning.

"Thank you for coming over! I need to teach you to dance for tonight!" Madison smiled and blushed a little. "Tonight is going to be special!"

"What's going to be so special about tonight?" Todd asked. "Have you and...Meilin made plans or something?"

"You're going to have a date!" Madison giggled. "Tonight, you're going to go out with Sakura!"

"I am?" Todd blushed. "But..."

"You have to learn how to waltz!" Madison smiled as she grabbed his hand. "You also wear a suit and you give her a corsage and you also eat at a nice restaurant!" They began to dance and Madison was surprised at how good Todd was at waltzing, he only stumbled once and he didn't even step on her feet. "Wow! You're good! Where did you learn to dance like this?"

"Well..." Todd replied, trailing off and went into flashback.

Flower smiled gently as she took Todd's hand and they went to the Lasin statue slab and she
curtseyed to him. She smiled again and blushed a little.

"We're going to dance? That's odd..." Todd looked at her a little odd and said. "Well, if you say so...but I'm not very good at it..."

They joined hands and they began to waltz. Todd was really surprised at how well he was dancing. As they danced under the stars, Flower was shedding multicolored flower petals. Todd smiled and gulped as they continued to dance as the moon stared down, shedding light on the twilight shrine. They swung around, Todd and flower smiled at one another and danced through the night. With the first ray of the morning light, the dance ended with her curtsey. Todd nodded and bowed like a gentleman.

"I had help from a very close friend." Todd replied frankly. They danced through the waltz song and Todd bowed and Madison blushed.

"Wow! You're such a gentlemen!" She complimented. "Where did you learn to dance?"

"I just picked it up from a friend." Todd replied, smiling. "Dancing is fun..."

"Now, here's the suit you need to dress in." Madison said as she gave him the suit. "Put this on and come on out."

Todd went into a bathroom and changed into the suit. He stepped up to her and Madison smiled warmly. "It's a perfect fit!"

"Am I going somewhere special?" Todd asked.

"Here's your corsage, and I've arranged for a limo." Madison replied sweetly. "You just go in there and romance Sakura!"

"I'm going out with Sakura?" Todd asked.

"Of course!" Madison replied. "Just wait for tonight!"

"Wait! Who paid for this?" Todd asked nervously. "I hope I'm not gonna have to pay some 600 dollar bill."

"Meilin and I have taken care of everything!" Madison smiled and winked. "Li will be too busy to do anything that'll get into your way."

"Thanks, Madison." Todd shrugged. "What do I have to do first?"

"Call her and tell her that you'll be taking her out."

Todd sighed and looked up in slight embarrassment. "What if she says no?"

"She won't!" Madison winked in assurance. "Li and Meilin are going to do some intense training tonight. They'll both leave you and Sakura alone, Li doesn't know about this so he won't mess it up. Anyway, you...stay here and get ready." She took out her video camera and talked into the mike at the side in an almost giddy voice. "Here we have Todd! He's here in his cute outfit, hoping to take Sakura out on a nice date. He has all the things to win her heart, a corsage, a tux, a limo, and a place to eat in style! Of course those things mean nothing to our Sakura for she appreciates the simpler things and has a loving and caring personality. Todd here is a perfect match for her, he's cute, loyal, kind and has a nice butt."

"Madison...!" Todd blushed stupidly.

"Whoops! Sorry, All. Anyway, Tonight is the date so don't go away." Madison concluded cheerily. "This is one of those golden moments!"

"I'm gonna be sick..." Todd sighed.

"Don't worry about it! Let's practice dancing!!" Madison grabbed his hand and they began a faster dance. Madison was very good but Todd had to work in a hyper way to even keep up. Madison took his hands and they spun around. "This is fun!"

"Whoa! Madison..." Todd blinked as they continued dancing. Todd's skill improved slightly, he didn't even crunch Madison's toes. "Either I'm gonna hurl or I'm gonna faint, hopefully she'll catch me..." Todd thought.

"I'll bet you can't wait to show Sakura your moves!" Madison sighed. "She'll be sooo impressed!"

"I've got a great teacher!" Todd smiled weakly as he was continually flung around. "Madison, you're good at this!"

"It's great that I have someone to work out these moves with, I just made them up this morning!" Madison replied warmly. "I sing too, it's a hobby of mine." Madison suddenly felt woozy.

"Huh?" Todd asked. "Wait! What's wrong!?"

"Ohh, the room's spinning!" Madison fainted and Todd rushed and succeeded in grabbing her before she fell to the ground. "Ohh...thank's Todd..."

"You okay?" Todd blinked.

"Good! You caught me!" Madison blushed a bit. "If Sakura faints, you know what to do!"

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!" Todd rolled his eyes.

Madison got up and smiled. "Your training is now complete. You stay here until the date begins at seven tonight!"

The hours that Todd spent, he spent with Madison. Madison spent the time telling Todd about her history with Sakura and he took it all in. He learned about the costumes and about how her mom Samantha and Natasha were absolutely inseparable. The clock struck six so he had to get ready for his first date. He made himself sound nice, smell nice and look nice. When he came out, Madison blushed red and commented. "You look totally fantastic!"

"Thank you!" Todd beamed. "I hope this evening makes Sakura very happy!" Madison showed him the way to the limo and he got in. The limo drove to Sakura's house and Todd got out with the corsage. "Um..." He knocked on the door and Tori answered.

Tori's eyes went wide when he saw Todd. "Whoa! It is true then..."

Todd blinked. "Hey, Tori. Is Sakura home?"

Tori nodded his head in sadness and sighed. "The squirt is upstairs, preparing for something, Madison came by earlier and gave her a dress and some stuff. Are you guys going to the prom or something? I feel as old as Dad..." Tori let Todd in and Todd and Tori took a seat on the couch. "Listen Todd...I just want to tell you that...You have my blessing."

"We aren't getting married, Tori!" Todd laughed and sighed at the same time. "Why did you say that, though?"

"Well...since I took care of you for a month or so, it's given me time to get to know you. I, trust you." Tori gained a serious look. "Don't make Sakura unhappy or else I'll hunt you down..."

Todd gulped nervously. "No, sir!"

Sakura walked down the stairs and she was wearing the blue dress that Meilin and Madison picked out for her. Sakura also dressed her hair up and she was wearing long white gloves. Todd got up and blushed when he saw her. She blushed back and commented. "You look cute, no doubt Madison had a hand in this."

"Oh Sakura, you look gorgeous!" Todd handed her a neatly presented pink corsage. "Here, this is...well, it's from Madison really! She gave it to me to give to you..." He blushed, embarrassed as he put it on her.

"Wow, it's pretty." Sakura complimented softly as she took Todd's hand. "Well, here goes..."

Tori looked at them both, both happy and sad. He nodded and said. "Wait there." Tori went and got the camera from a cabinet and told them to say cheese as he snapped the picture. Sakura put her arm around Todd's shoulder and they both gave the peace signs and when the picture was done, they both laughed, embarrassed.

"Is that what we're supposed to do?" Todd asked.

"You know, I don't really know!" Sakura shrugged in response. "Well, Tori! We'll be back in a couple of hours. Don't wait up and don't tell Dad to when he gets home."

"That's probably not what's going to happen." Tori smiled knowingly. As Todd and Sakura go through the door, Tori sighed and smiled, annoyed. "It's saturday night, My 12 year old SISTER is doing more than me! That is so lame..." Suddenly the phone rang and Tori hastily picked up the phone, thinking. "All right! A person to talk to... Hello? Julian!!" Tori's eyes lit up as he eagerly sat up.

Todd helped Sakura into the limo and they both sat together. Todd turned to her and pressed a button. Suddenly a drawer opened up, reveling soda. Sakura smiled and took a glass from the drawer and Todd poured it for her. "Thanks Todd!"

"I try!" Todd nodded happily. The limo ride was smooth and fun with Todd and Sakura looking at the dusky world through the sun roof. They look to one another and smile as they saw the Kejona restaurant approach them on their ride. They get down from the sun roof and get ready to get out. They do and they enter the restaurant. They walked up to the bus boy in charge of reservations and Todd pointed out that they had a reservation and they were shown to their seats.

"Whoa...Sakura, what is this here?" Todd showed Sakura the menu which was tough to read.

"It looks like ribs with a side of fixed rice and stir fried vegetables...but it's in chinese... If Li was here, then he would be able to decipher it." Sakura warmly told him in response. "I'm not sure what else to say about these menus."

"I know, let's have that. I can't read anything else." Todd smiled, embarrassed. "Too bad Madison couldn't train me to speak chinese!"

"I don't THINK she knows Chinese but, you never know..." Sakura pondered.

The Waiter came up to them and bowed. "I am Lang, your servant this evening...what can I help you with?"

"Right, we'll have this!" They both said as they pointed to the meal they looked at earlier. "This dinner...wait, how about dinner for 2 instead?"

"Excellent..." The waiter wrote it down and left them alone to promptly get the water for them. "Here is your water."

"Thanks!" Sakura nodded as he drank a bit and slurped.

Todd blinked and shrugged and slurped his too. "This is pretty cool, isn't it?"

"Right! So why did you take me out here?" Sakura asked. "How come?"

"Because..." Todd trailed off as they saw some people dance. "Hey, let's dance!"

Todd took Sakura's hand as he led her to the dance floor. Luckily, the dance was a waltz and it wasn't too hard. Sakura and Todd were unsure who was leading and they ended up messing up each other's step and it vaguely amused the others and they whispered things about how 'cute' they look doing this. Sakura decided to take the lead and the dance was okay from then on, it was okay, they just held one another like they were used to and stepped. They danced around which actually impressed the people around them. Sakura and Todd ended the dance and Todd bowed to Sakura which made her blush and shrug and then she curtseyed to him. "That was cool!"

"I know! Looks like our dinner is ready..." Todd smiled as he led Sakura off the dance floor and they sat down to their appetizers, some buns and diced vegetables. They snacked on them and within minutes their main course was served which was some chicken and noodles delicately cooked.

"I wonder why people dance?" Sakura asked as she ate some chicken and chewed it and smiled. "This is great!"

"Really?" Todd asked as he dug into his chicken and actually used the fork that was meant for dinner and not for salads or desserts. "This is wonderful...anyway, Here's the answer to your question, people like to dance because they like to...be with their...partners..."

"Really? I just thought it was because the people are bored and are waiting for their food!" Sakura smiled in response. "It was fun dancing with you!"

"Thanks!" Todd replied as they continued to eat their dinner. Soon desert was served and it was quite delicious. They cleaned themselves up too and the bill was sent to them along with some after dinner candies. Todd examined the bill and went blue in the face. "Whoa! 133 dollars!"

"Do we have enough?!" Sakura stammered. "Wait! It has a...signature on it. It's Madison's!"

"Madison paid for the food?" Todd asked and they went to the counter to ask about it.

The reservation person looked at it and smiled. "The signature means that someone has paid for the dinner for you. Now that I think about it, a girl called forth and also made arrangements to pay for it. Well, since that cleared things up, have a good evening and drive responsibly...wait, forget I said that."

Sakura and Todd got out of the restaurant when they were suddenly hit with an awful feeling. The feeling of the land in the garden was all cold and familiar. Todd looked around and frowned. "No...not now... it's a..." Suddenly a flash of light surrounded them and they were sucked into a vortex that appeared in front of their feet they stared as a swirling green mass of energy appeared around them and formed into a maze. They looked around and groaned.

"Oh no, this is a clow card!" Sakura cried out and went blue in the cheeks and her eyes stretched in fright. "I left my key at home!!"

"What?! I was hoping that you had the key...because I left...my spear at home..."

Meanwhile, Li and Meilin just finished their sparing, they were all sweaty and tired from their fighting. "Oh man, that was tough for once...Meilin, how come this training session lasted so long?"

Meilin smiled nervously and shrugged. "No reason!"

Li went to the shower and he was hit with a feeling. "Wait, I sense a clow card around here. It's in...the down town!"

"How would you know that?" Meilin asked intently. "There's nothing downtown that you should be looking at."

"I have to get into my ceremonial robes and take my sword. Sakura and Todd should already be there!" Li ran into his room and quickly changed into his robes and took his pendant from his dresser. He put it on and dashed out of the house with his lasin board in his hands. "Force of light with ancient spin, send forth the magic power within! Force, know my plight, release the light!!" A beam of blue light pulsed through and pointed at the downtown area of the city. Meilin ran after him, worried that all might be ruined.

Todd looked around and asked Sakura. "What is this maze? The Maze card?"

"Right, and the only way we can capture it is by solving the maze." Sakura frowned while looking around. She her hands in front of them and sighed. "Even if we did find them, we can't seal it because neither one of us have our clow card stuff."

"We'll have to play fair huh?" Todd asked seriously. "Solving this Maze will be easier said than done..."

"If we don't do it, then we'll be trapped in the maze forever!" Sakura feared. "How are we gonna do this?"

"We could try touching a wall and running down it and we'll find the opening eventually..." Todd commented, touching the walls. "That should work right?"

"Not exactly, this maze is made by magic so logic doesn't work." Sakura sighed. "Chopping down the walls doesn't work and you can't fly over the walls either. At least the maze isn't a labyrinth..."

Suddenly the walls started to move and twist and the floor gave out from Sakura's feet. Todd rushed to grab her but he couldn't get to her in time. Sakura fell down and fell slower and slower until she lands gently on an area below on the maze. "Oh no..."

"Sakura! Are you okay?" Todd asked.

"Yeah...but we're separated! It may not seem like much but the space dimensions are all twisted up now..." Sakura replied from down below. "What are we going to do? We don't have our gear...we're stuck here..." Sakura silently fell to her knees and put her head in her hands. "I don't know what we're going to do..." Sakura began to cry and Todd looked down sadly.

"Don't worry, we'll think of something!" Todd said, semi reassuring. "Please don't worry about it..."

Suddenly the ceiling of the maze got cracked and they both suffered a shake. They saw the maze top being destroyed by a...giant sword. Suddenly Todd and Sakura grew huge and were blasted out the maze. They apparently were inside a giant cube and they tumbled to the ground. They looked at Li's smiling face and looked at the cracked cube. "So that thing was the maze?"

Sakura got up and examined the cube. "The maze was just a tiny cage for us..."

Li ran to the cube and pointed his sword at it. "Return to your power confined, Maze card!!" He took his sword and thrust it forward and a glowing clow card appeared on the tip of the sword blade. The cube broke into swirls of light and they were drawn into the clow card. The picture appeared on the card and it flew into Li's hands. He took the clow card and pocketed it. "I'll bet you didn't know I can seal cards with my sword too! Anyway...what were you guys doing here? And why are you dressed like that?"

"Well..." Sakura smiled timidly. "Todd and I were on..."

"A date arranged by Madison and Meilin..." Todd rolled his eyes and shrugged. "They thought it was a good idea."

"Right..." Sakura smiled.

"But...Sakura, I thought..." Li stammered, blushing a bit. "I thought we..."

"We..." Sakura took his hand. "...Are..."

Todd blinked. "What?!"

Sakura turned to Todd and kissed him gently on the cheek. "Thank you for a wonderful evening...but I think you're mistaken. I'm afraid that you and I aren't...meant to be."

Todd sighed and his eyes fell to the ground. "... Oh...Um..." His eyes grew glassy.

Sakura smiled at him. "It's Madison...that likes you."

"Madison likes me?" Todd looked up. "You sure?"

"Goodness you're dense!" Sakura rolled her eyes. "Madison set up the date to make you and I happy. Madison told me that she wants you and I to be together because it makes us happy and she wants nothing more than to makes us happy. She's my best friend and she really likes...you."

"How could I not notice this?" Todd asked. "Madison dresses me up in costumes...she calls me cute all the time...she likes to do things with me and we danced before the date. She wanted to teach me to dance too but I think she...never mind. I'm sorry I didn't know it earlier..."

Li took Sakura by the hand and blushed. "I love...you..."

"I love you too, Li..." Sakura smiled and blushed.

"Ah, romance...well, I'd love to stay but I have to mourn over the fact I'll never have You! See you later." Todd hopped into the limo that was waiting for him. "Come on in, guys! I'll have this limo drive you home."

Sakura came home and she was welcomed by Tori and Aiden. Aiden came up to her. "How did your cute little date with Todd go?"

"We discovered that we really weren't meant to be with one another. The date made me realize that I'm in love with Li Showron!" She beamed as she went up the stairs. "I'm going to bed..."

"She's in love with that stupid kid that attacked her?" Tori sighed. "Love with Todd would have been much more convenient for me seeing that I liked Todd much more than that kid..."

Sakura got ready for bed and drifted off into sleep. She fell into dream and she found herself back in the forest. She looked around at the beautiful trees, flowers and the sun that caught the trees. She was back in the forest beyond the dreams. She walked through the path and came up to that fork in the road. "Hmm..."

The pikachu she got to know jumped down from the trees and smiled at her. "Well...you should know by now. Which path are you going to choose?"

Sakura gasped and realized it and she frowned and sighed. "I have made my decision." Sakura turned to the path on the left and said. "I am going this way, and I won't come back here..."

"Good for you, I admire your courage." The pikachu replied waving to her. "Since you know your way, I bid you farewell." The pikachu bowed and ran into the bushes, out of sight.

Sakura breathed deep and walked down the path. She entered the fog and continued walking into the cloudy scene until she could not be seen again, and left the forest where she learned so much.
 

End of Episode 30
Cards Captured

 

Next Time on Card Captor Todd!

Todd got up from his bed and stood up and looked at the calendar. He smiled and noticed that it wasn't May, he had just forgotten to tear off the page. He hadn't looked at the calendar and realized. "Whoa! Cool! My birthday is in three days! I can't believe I almost missed it!"

"Your birthday?" Kero asked as he floated up. "I'd better get you a present!"

"You don't have to...and I don't really want a party." Todd smiled. "Clow cards, and my friends are enough for me!"

Kero snickered and turned away from Todd thinking. "I think we're gonna have a surprise party!"

*      *      *

"I wonder what Todd would like for his birthday..." Jeremy asked to himself as he went around to the stores. "I've been saving up for a present forever... maybe...he'd like a book! One of those choose your own adventure books!" Jeremy hastily went into the book store and looked around.

The book store was nothing special, it had tons of both used and new books and some were just bursting from the shelves. Jeremy looked through them and thought to himself. "This book is cool...but I'm getting a strange feeling from it. It must be the right book!" Jeremy took it to the front counter and a writing quill fell from the pages and he picked it up. "Cool!"
