SIGN    Sakura and the Fire and Water Birds
[01:48] Akiho
    It's a pop-up book, I see.
[01:53] Akiho
    It has so many movable parts.
[02:11] Sakura
    What do you think? Is it one
    that you've read before?
[02:14] Akiho
    No, I have some pop-up books about Alice,
[02:18] Akiho
    but I don't have this one.
[02:21] Sakura
    Glad to hear it!
[02:22] Chiharu
    That'll make Rika-chan happy, too.
[02:24] Chiharu
    How's she doing?
[02:25] Sakura
    Great! She said we should hang out, sometime.
[02:27] Naoko
    Oh, I need to return a book
    to her when I see her next.
[02:32] Akiho
    Does Rika-san like books, too?
[02:35] Naoko
    Yeah.
[02:36] Naoko
    But I think she likes music even more.
[02:40] Naoko
    She's great at playing piano,
    and she has lots of piano scores.
[02:44] Naoko
    Oh, and she said she was learning
    to play the flute next.
[02:48] Chiharu
    That suits her!
[02:49] Sakura
    Uh-huh!
[02:51] Tomoyo
    If I recall, she was learning to play
    the Paraguayan harp, too.
[02:54] Akiho
    She's good at many things, then!
[02:56] Sakura
    Uh-huh!
[02:57] Naoko
    I'm thinking of learning to
    play an instrument, too.
[03:00] Sakura
    Really? Which one?
[03:02] Naoko
    The matryomin.
[03:04] Naoko
    You haven't heard of it?
[03:06] Both
    No...
[03:06] Naoko
    Have you heard of matryoshka dolls?
[03:08] Both
    Uh-huh.
[03:10] Naoko
    You put one of those in front of you,
[03:13] Naoko
    then you do this with your hands,
[03:15] Naoko
    then you move them like this...
[03:21] Naoko
    That's how you play it.
[03:22] Tomoyo
    Is it related to the theremin?
[03:26] Naoko
    Right! It's like a relative of that.
[03:29] Akiho
    I have seen a theremin before.
[03:32] Naoko
    The outside can be basically anything,
SIGN    Matryomin
[03:35] Naoko
    so I'd like to make an original one.
SIGN    Theremin
[03:38] Chiharu
    What kind?
[03:39] Naoko
    A kokeshi?
SIGN    Kokemin
[03:41] Chiharu
    Don't make it too scary, okay?
SIGN    Keromin
[03:46] Tomoyo
    If it can be anything, maybe you could
    make it look like a mascot character?
[03:47] Akiho
    What's the matter?
[03:49] Sakura
    Nothing. I'm okay.
[03:51] Tomoyo
    Like the one Akiho-chan always
    carries, Momo-chan.
[03:54] Sakura
    That's a good idea!
[03:55] Akiho
    Your Kero-san could work, too!
[03:58] Sakura
    Huh? Oh... Yeah, you're right.
[04:00] Chiharu
    Speaking of mascots,
[04:02] Chiharu
    that cooking lesson yesterday was crazy, huh?
SIGN    Gulp!
[04:05] Chiharu
    After I worked so hard to make a roll
    cake that looked like my Maro...
[04:08] Naoko
    That's your family's dog, right?
[04:11] Tomoyo
    She showed us the latest pictures.
[04:14] Tomoyo
    Maro was as cute as ever!
[04:16] Chiharu
    Thanks! I wonder why the
    decorations disappeared, though...
SIGN    Gulp!
SIGN    Gulp! Gulp!
[04:21] Naoko
    You hadn't made anything
    with them yet, right?
[04:24] Naoko
    Didn't you all fall asleep afterward?
[04:26] Chiharu
    Yeah, but all the ingredients disappeared.
SIGN    
    Gulp!
SIGN    
    Gulp! Gulp!
SIGN    
    Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
[04:31] Tomoyo
    It's strange, isn't it?
[04:34] Sakura
    Wh-What is it, Naoko-chan?
[04:37] Naoko
    I thought maybe I could use that in the
    script I'm writing for the Theater Club.
[04:41] Sakura
    Flump!
[04:42] Akiho
    Sakura-san?
[04:44] Tomoyo
    But the ones we remade still turned
    out cute, didn't they, Akiho-chan?
[04:50] Akiho
    Yes.
[04:51] Naoko
    What did you make, Sakura-chan?
[04:53] Sakura
    Huh?
[04:54] Sakura
    U-Um...
[04:59] Sakura
    After all that happened with the card,
[05:01] Sakura
    it didn't come out quite the
    way I'd planned, but...
[05:07] Sakura
    Here.
[05:08] Sakura
    I made it during our cooking lesson.
[05:10] Syaoran
    For me?
[05:11] Sakura
    Y-Yeah.
[05:18] Syaoran
    Can I look at it now?
[05:20] Sakura
    Huh? Uh, sure...
[05:28] Syaoran
    This is...
[05:30] Sakura
    Th-The plan was to make your whole outfit,
[05:34] Sakura
    but there weren't enough ingredients left.
[05:38] Syaoran
    Sakura.
[05:39] Sakura
    Yes?
[05:41] Syaoran
    Thanks.
[05:45] Chiharu
    Sakura-chan...
[05:47] Chiharu
    Your face is red.
[05:49] Tomoyo
    It looks like the person you care
    for most was pleased with it.
[05:53] Naoko
    Oh? Akiho-chan, you're red, too.
[05:57] Sakura
    W-Well, lunch break is almost over!
[06:00] Akiho
    Oh, Sakura-san, thank you
    for showing me this book!
[06:05] Sakura
    Rika-chan told me to give it to you.
[06:09] Sakura
    She said it would make her happy.
[06:12] Akiho
    I couldn't...
[06:14] Sakura
    She insisted!
[06:15] Akiho
    But...
[06:17] Naoko
    I'm sure it would make her
    happier for you to keep it.
[06:21] Chiharu
    Yeah, much happier!
[06:22] Chiharu
    Even better if you told her what
    you thought of the book!
[06:26] Tomoyo
    Yes, definitely.
[06:28] Akiho
    Are you sure it's all right?
[06:31] All
    Uh-huh!
[06:34] Akiho
    Thank you so much!
[06:36] Akiho
    I'll make sure to give her my thoughts on it!
[06:39] Sakura
    Yeah!
[06:43] Sakura
    Huh?
[07:09] Akiho
    Sakura-san!
[07:10] Akiho
    Be careful where you step!
[07:15] Akiho
    Are you all right? Do you feel sick?
[07:20] Sakura
    No, I just spaced out a little.
[07:23] Sakura
    Just wondering what I'd do if I
    were called on in math class.
[07:28] Sakura
    I did study, but...
[07:49] Akiho
    An Alice book... should go right here.
[08:02] Akiho
    Kaito-san!
[08:03] Kaito
    Did I interrupt?
[08:06] Akiho
    No, I was just putting away
    a book my friend gave me.
[08:10] Kaito
    A picture book about Alice?
[08:12] Akiho
    Yes.
[08:13] Akiho
    I love all books, but in the end...
[08:17] Kaito
    The ones about Alice are special?
[08:19] Akiho
    Yes...
[08:23] Kaito
    Especially,
[08:29] Kaito
    Alice in Clock Land?
[08:34] Akiho
    Kaito-san?
[08:38] Kaito
    I was thinking of making some cocoa.
    Would you care for some?
[08:43] Akiho
    Yes, I'll have some!
[08:48] Akiho
    You could have used the internal line.
[08:50] Kaito
    I thought of doing that.
[08:52] Kaito
    But I suspected you might be too absorbed
    in your books to hear it, and...
[08:59] Kaito
    I was a bit curious, as well.
[09:01] Akiho
    Curious?
[09:02] Kaito
    When you came home from school,
    you seemed a bit down.
[09:07] Akiho
    Oh!
[09:08] Akiho
    I-I'm sorry!
[09:11] Kaito
    There's nothing you need to apologize for.
[09:15] Akiho
    Sakura-san... seemed a little down, today.
[09:21] Kaito
    Might she have taken ill?
[09:23] Akiho
    It didn't seem that way.
[09:26] Akiho
    She just suddenly started spacing out.
[09:30] Akiho
    Almost as if her mind had
    gone away, somewhere...
[09:48] Kaito
    Akiho-san?
[09:50] Akiho
    I heard...
[09:53] Akiho
    the sound of a clock...
[09:57] Kaito
    Was it my pocket watch?
[09:59] Akiho
    No, it was a much, much... bigger.
[10:08] Kaito
    It appears the clock in
    your belly is going off.
[10:11] Kaito
    Let's have dinner before I make that cocoa.
[10:14] Akiho
    O-Okay...
[10:20] Kaito
    Akiho-san.
[10:22] Akiho
    Yes?
[10:23] Kaito
    It's wonderful that your friend
    gave you that book.
[10:27] Akiho
    Yes!
[10:28] Kaito
    I hope you can become even better
    friends with Sakura-san.
SIGN    Tsukimine Shrine
[10:47] Tomoyo
    Beautiful! You look beautiful!
[10:50] Tomoyo
    It's been so long since I've been
    able to film you in costume.
[10:53] Tomoyo
    Let's have a smile!
[10:57] Kero
    Here's your smile! Howzat?!
[10:59] Tomoyo
    You look lovely, too, Kero-chan!
[11:02] Kero
    I know, right?
[11:05] Tomoyo
    Since you're with us this time,
    Li-kun, you should join her.
[11:08] Syaoran
    No, I...
SIGN    Tsukimine Shrine
[11:11] Kero
    I can't believe ya sensed a
    card this late at night...
[11:15] Kero
    It does kinda bring back memories, though.
[11:18] Sakura
    Now that you mention it, this was where
    I captured the first Clow Card, The Fly.
[11:24] Kero
    That's true...
[11:26] Kero
    This is basically the birthplace
    of Cardcaptor Sakura!
[11:30] Sakura
    Come to think of it, you were pretty
    pushy when we first met.
[11:36] Sakura
    You just suddenly popped
    out of that book and...
[11:41] Kero
    Hidey-howdy-ho!
[11:43] Sakura
    And then, you kept talking and talking.
[11:47] Sakura
    Then he up and said, "Witness the
    birth of the Cardcaptor!"
[11:52] Sakura
    Also, the cards were scattered
    because he fell asleep.
[11:56] Sakura
    But all he said was, "Stuff happens!"
[11:59] Sakura
    And just so you know, I never
    agreed to get into this!
[12:04] Kero
    Was that how it happened?
[12:06] Sakura
    Yes, it was!
[12:10] Sakura
    The Fly was huge, so I jumped
    on, out of desperation,
[12:13] Sakura
    but now that I think about it,
    what if I had fallen off?
[12:18] Kero
    But ya didn't fall off!
[12:20] Kero
    Precisely why I never had a doubt about you.
[12:22] Sakura
    I just got lucky, that's all!
[12:25] Kero
    Well, if ya had fallen,
    I woulda had your back—
[12:28] Sakura
    You were blown away, right at the start!
[12:30] Tomoyo
    If Sakura-chan had refused to help you,
[12:34] Tomoyo
    would it have dissolved the contract?
[12:37] Kero
    Nope!
[12:38] Sakura
    That's harsh...
[12:39] Syaoran
    Well, once a magic contract is formed,
[12:42] Syaoran
    it can't be broken, unless something
    really serious happens.
[12:46] Tomoyo
    So there's no cooling-off period?
[12:49] Sakura
    That really is harsh.
[13:17] Syaoran
    What do you feel?
[13:18] Sakura
    I think it's a card.
[13:29] Kero
    That's hot!
[13:30] Tomoyo
    Its wind burns!
[13:40] Sakura
    We have to hurry!
[13:42] Sakura
    Kero-chan, protect Tomoyo-chan!
[13:44] Kero
    Right!
[13:45] Kero
    Tomoyo, this way!
[13:47] Tomoyo
    Okay!
[13:51] Tomoyo
    Sakura-chan...
[13:53] Sakura
    Make absolutely sure you don't
    do anything reckless.
[13:56] Sakura
    I don't want you getting hurt!
[14:00] Tomoyo
    Okay! Same to you, Sakura-chan!
[14:07] Kero
    I'm a fire type, too,
[14:09] Kero
    so anything I do would be like
    throwin' oil on a flame...
[14:16] Sakura
    Water, rain down upon the fire bird!
[14:19] Sakura
    Aqua!
[14:39] Kero
    That's it! Give 'em what for!
[14:52] Sakura
    How can we...
[14:54] Syaoran
    I'll try!
[14:57] Sakura
    Syaoran-kun!
[15:00] Syaoran
    Sakura, use Flight's magic to get
    as close to the bird as you can,
[15:05] Syaoran
    so you can turn it into a card,
    as soon as it falters.
[15:09] Sakura
    Right!
[15:14] Sakura
    Take me closer to the fire bird!
[15:20] Sakura
    Flight!
[15:58] Sakura
    Wow.
[16:00] Syaoran
    Now, Sakura!
[16:03] Sakura
    Right!
[16:05] Sakura
    Force without master,
[16:07] Sakura
    heed the call of my Staff of Dreams,
    and become my power!
[16:12] Sakura
    Secure!
SIGN    Blaze
[16:36] Sakura
    "Blaze"...
[16:39] Sakura
    Blaze.
[16:44] Sakura
    Syaoran-kun! Tomoyo-chan! Kero-chan!
[16:47] Kero
    You okay, Sakura?
[16:49] Sakura
    Yeah!
[16:50] Tomoyo
    You both performed splendidly.
[16:53] Sakura
    It's all thanks to you, Syaoran-kun!
[16:55] Syaoran
    Huh?
[16:56] Sakura
    That wind magic was amazing!
[16:58] Sakura
    Or was it a technique?
[17:04] Kero
    Boy, I sure am glad you got
    it turned into a card.
[17:07] Sakura
    Yeah.
[17:09] Kero
    Fire magic, huh?
[17:12] Kero
    So now we know this new set of cards
    has wind, water, and fire, too.
[17:18] Sakura
    Yeah, but this one was really intense.
[17:22] Sakura
    Those two birds were blasting each
    other with their water and flames!
[17:26] Kero
    Yeah, sorta like a giant monster battle, huh?
[17:30] Tomoyo
    More like it was a giant monster battle.
[17:33] Sakura
    Yeah.
[17:34] Kero
    It's too bad, though...
[17:36] Kero
    If the new card had been a water type,
[17:39] Kero
    I coulda helped out with my own flames!
[17:42] Sakura
    I'm not sure I could trust that.
[17:44] Kero
    Harsh!
[17:45] Kero
    That's mean, Sakura!
[17:47] Sakura
    I was kidding. I trust you.
    I trust you, okay?
[17:50] Kero
    Hmph!
[17:52] Kero
    But still, Sakura, didn't you say it'd be
    better to have 'em show up at night
[17:57] Kero
    than to have cakes jumpin' around or trees
    walkin' freely at school in the morning?
[18:03] Sakura
    I did, but it was still just
    as tough to deal with.
[18:07] Tomoyo
    Either way, you dealt with it handily,
[18:10] Tomoyo
    in true Cardcaptor form!
[18:12] Kero
    That's right.
SIGN    Tsukimine Shrine
[18:14] Sakura
    The arch got a little burned,
[18:17] Sakura
    but I'm glad a fire didn't break out.
[18:20] Syaoran
    We'd better head back.
[18:23] Syaoran
    I'm fine since I live alone,
[18:25] Syaoran
    but if you two are out late...
[18:27] Sakura
    I arranged a few things in advance,
    so I should be all right.
[18:32] Kero
    Someone's gonna catch on
    to ya, sooner or later...
[18:34] Sakura
    I've always left through my window like
    that when someone else was home.
[18:39] Kero
    Yeah, but leavin' that?
[18:41] Tomoyo
    I have a bodyguard waiting for us nearby.
[18:46] Tomoyo
    As soon as you're both done changing,
    I'll have you driven home.
[18:51] Tomoyo
    Quietly.
[18:53] Both
    Thanks.
[19:04] Yukito
    What's wrong, Toya?
[19:09] Yukito
    Toya?
[19:17] Yukito
    Sakura-chan must have gone to bed.
[19:22] Yukito
    H-Hey... Toya!
[19:41] Toya
    She thought this would cover it up?
[19:44] Toya
    And it doesn't even occur to her
    to use that power of hers?
[19:54] Yukito
    You shouldn't go into a girl's
    room without permission.
[19:58] Toya
    She's not in there.
[20:01] Toya
    Looks like she and that yellow
    plushie took off again.
[20:19] Toya
    This is sudden.
[20:22] Toya
    Well, Dad isn't home today,
    so that's no problem.
[20:26] Yue
    Master will return home soon.
[20:30] Toya
    How do you know?
[20:32] Yue
    I sense her.
[20:33] Toya
    That's handy.
[20:35] Yue
    But sometimes, I cannot sense it...
[20:40] Yue
    There are times when I cannot trace
    the mark of my master's power.
[20:46] Toya
    What times?
[20:48] Yue
    I can identify no regularity.
[20:51] Toya
    Even though her power's gotten
    so strong, even I can sense it?
[20:59] Yue
    Your power has started to return, hasn't it?
[21:03] Yue
    What will you use that power for?
[21:07] Toya
    I won't say it yet.
[21:08] Yue
    Why?
[21:10] Toya
    Didn't I tell you before that you
    and Yuki are a lot alike?
[21:15] Yue
    Yes, though I cannot agree.
[21:19] Toya
    I guess not.
[21:23] Toya
    It's my power.
[21:25] Toya
    I'll decide how I use it. And when.
[21:30] Toya
    You're so easy to read.
[21:32] Yue
    How do you mean?
[21:34] Toya
    When you're angry or upset,
[21:36] Toya
    it shows on your face,
    even if you don't say it.
[21:40] Toya
    No...
[21:44] Toya
    Yuki told me your name.
[21:46] Toya
    Oh, don't be mad at him.
[21:50] Toya
    It seemed wrong not knowing your name,
    having known you for so long.
[21:54] Toya
    So I asked him.
[21:58] Yue
    I cannot rebuke him in person.
[22:00] Toya
    Good point.
[22:07] Toya
    I'll do whatever I can for
    my family... for Sakura.
[22:13] Toya
    That's the one thing I'm sure about.
[22:17] Yue
    I know that.
[22:22] Toya
    So just wait a little longer, Yue.

    wisdom, it's "Leave It to Kero-chan!"
[24:16] Kero
    Today, naturally, I'm introducin'
    another battle costume!
[24:19] Kero
    This exotic outfit matches a flame design
[24:22] Kero
    with harem pants, hair ornament,
    chest, waist, and nail bijoux.
[24:25] Kero
    The bangles are a subtle,
    but effective, touch.
[24:27] Kero
    Tomoyo never runs short on variation.
    Wish she'd make more for me, too...
SIGN    "Bijou" is French for "jewel"!
[24:30] Kero
    The back gate, where she captured that
    card, brought back memories, huh?
SIGN    Bear Cat
SIGN    K
[24:33] Kero
    Bet ya could fry a ton of okonomiyaki
    with that card's flames.
[24:36] Kero
    I'll have Sakura try it, so we can
    test our limits, sometime.
[24:38] Kero
    Ta-ta!
SIGN    Next Episode
[24:40] Sakura
    I'll be going with Yukito-san
