[01:37] Toya
    Morning.
[01:40] Sakura
    Morning.
[01:45] Toya
    Why so spacey today?
[01:47] Toya
    Sleep with your belly uncovered?
[01:49] Sakura
    No, I didn't!
[01:51] Toya
    How many?
[01:52] Sakura
    Three!
[01:56] Sakura
    Where's Dad?
[01:58] Toya
    Morning meeting.
[02:00] Sakura
    He's been really busy, lately.
[02:03] Sakura
    I hope he's taking care of himself.
[02:05] Toya
    If that's how you feel, don't make him worry.
[02:09] Toya
    I heard you came home soaking wet.
[02:11] Sakura
    Oh! Just a little.
[02:14] Sakura
    And I had a bath as soon as I got home.
[02:19] Toya
    But then you slept, belly uncovered.
[02:21] Sakura
    I did not!
[02:25] Sakura
    Thanks for the pancakes.
[02:34] Sakura
    Wh-What?
[02:36] Toya
    Still going on, huh?
[02:37] Sakura
    What is?
[02:42] Toya
    Eat that and grow up big.
[02:45] Toya
    You used to say you'd grow as
    tall as an electric pole, right?
[02:49] Toya
    Here. Take these, too.
[02:51] Sakura
    This is just because you hate broccoli!

[03:02] Chiharu
    Your brother is so funny, Sakura-chan!
[03:05] Sakura
    No, he's just mean.
[03:07] Tomoyo
    How were the pancakes?
[03:09] Sakura
    Well... They were good, of course.
[03:12] Morita
    Good morning.
[03:14] Morita
    Take your seats, everyone!
[03:16] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:19] Morita
    Today, I have a new classmate
    to introduce to you.
[03:25] Morita
    Shinomoto-san!
[03:39] Morita
    Introduce yourself.
[03:41] Akiho
    Okay.
[03:44] Akiho
    I'm Akiho Shinomoto.
[03:47] Akiho
    I look forward to joining your class.
[03:56] Morita
    Her name is written like this.
[03:58] Morita
    You'll all have to teach her lots about
    Tomoeda Middle School, okay?
SIGN    Akiho Shinomoto
[04:02] Morita
    So, you'll be added to the rotation
[04:03] Morita
    for day duty and classroom tasks, next week.
[04:05] Tomoyo
    She's very pretty, isn't she?
[04:06] Morita
    I'll update the class roster,
    so be sure to check it.
[04:07] Sakura
    Yeah, really pretty!
[04:10] Morita
    Tomorrow is the deadline to submit
    requests for extracurricular lessons.
[04:10] Sakura
    I hope we can be friends.
[04:16] Takashi
    Here, we go.
[04:20] Sakura
    Sorry we're late!
[04:22] Chiharu
    No problem.
[04:24] Naoko
    Huh?
[04:27] Akiho
    Good afternoon.
[04:29] Takashi
    Hi. You must be the Class 2 transfer
    student everyone's talking about.
[04:32] Chiharu
    Everyone's talking about her?
[04:34] Naoko
    One of the kids from our
    class went to take a look.
[04:37] Syaoran
    Really?
[04:39] Sakura
    I invited her to eat lunch with us.
[04:42] Takashi
    Make yourself at home.
[04:49] Syaoran
    What? You were in Hong Kong?
[04:51] Akiho
    Yes, before I came to Japan.
[04:54] Sakura
    She was in France before that,
    and Germany before that, and...
[04:59] Tomoyo
    She lived in Italy and England, as well.
[05:02] Akiho
    Yes.
[05:02] Naoko
    That's amazing!
[05:04] Akiho
    So I don't know if my Japanese is correct.
[05:07] Sakura
    It's fine!
[05:08] Chiharu
    But there's no need to be so formal.
[05:11] Chiharu
    We're all the same age.
[05:13] Akiho
    But this is how I learned it.
[05:16] Takashi
    Speaking of formalities...
[05:17] Takashi
    They're generally used when speaking
    to superiors and elders, right?
SIGN    chatter chatter chatter
[05:20] Takashi
    But in one area of Japan,
[05:22] Takashi
    older people use formal language
    with younger people.
[05:25] Takashi
    They're very strict about
    manners and politeness.
[05:28] Takashi
    If you speak informally, even by accident,
    they'll get really mad!
[05:32] Takashi
    Scary, right? Scary, right? Too scary, right?
[05:35] Chiharu
    Your lies have seemed kinda lazy, lately.
[05:40] Both
    I'll be careful!
[05:42] Akiho
    I'll be careful!
[05:44] Chiharu
    You've created even more victims!
[05:53] Akiho
    Oh, I need to go see the teacher!
[05:56] Tomoyo
    In the faculty office?
[05:58] Akiho
    Yes.
[05:59] Chiharu
    Do you know where it is?
[06:00] ---
    
[06:01] Sakura
    I'll show you!
[06:03] Akiho
    But the lunch break isn't over yet...
[06:07] Tomoyo
    We'll watch your things.
[06:09] Akiho
    But...
[06:10] Both
    Go ahead.
[06:11] Akiho
    U-Um...
[06:14] Sakura
    Let me show you the way.
[06:20] Akiho
    Thank you very much.
[06:25] Naoko
    Those two kind of make you
    feel all warm inside, huh?
[06:29] Chiharu
    I haven't talked to Akiho-chan
    much, but she's really nice!
[06:34] Tomoyo
    She is.
[06:35] Takashi
    And she's so trusting!
[06:36] Chiharu
    And you lied to a girl like her! Ugh!
[06:42] Chiharu
    Even the way you're laughing feels lazy!
[06:46] Akiho
    I had to make your friends
    watch my lunch box...
[06:49] Sakura
    It's okay!
[06:50] Sakura
    Tomoyo-chan and Chiharu-chan will
    bring it back to the classroom.
[06:56] Akiho
    They're all very kind.
[06:58] Sakura
    Yeah, they really are.
[07:02] Akiho
    So are you.
[07:04] Sakura
    Me?
[07:08] Akiho
    You are kind!
SIGN    Blush . . .
[07:14] Sakura
    Come to think of it, we're a
    bit alike, aren't we?
[07:19] Sakura
    Sakura Kinomoto.
[07:21] Sakura
    Akiho Shinomoto-chan.
[07:24] Sakura
    They sort of sound alike,
    especially the last names.
[07:28] Akiho
    You're right.
[07:31] Akiho
    I would like for us to become
    friends, Sakura-san!
[07:37] Sakura
    Me, too!
[07:40] Akiho
    I'm so glad to know you, Sakura-san!
[07:43] Sakura
    Same to you!
[07:51] Morita
    Okay, time to start afternoon classes!
[07:58] Akiho
    Japanese class makes me nervous...
[08:01] Tomoyo
    If there's anything you don't
    understand, feel free to ask us.
[08:04] Sakura
    Though, we might not be much help.
[08:08] Akiho
    I appreciate it very much.
[08:10] Morita
    Today, we'll continue our lesson on
    four-character idiomatic compounds.
[08:15] Morita
    Fill in the missing characters!
[08:17] Morita
    Let's see... Ono-san.
[08:19] Ono
    Yes, ma'am.
[08:19] Morita
    Toomi-san.
[08:20] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[08:21] Morita
    Wada-san.
[08:22] Wada
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[08:23] Morita
    Kinomoto-san.
[08:24] Sakura
    Yes, ma'am!
[08:25] Morita
    Come on up.
[08:27] Tomoyo
    Good luck.
[08:29] Akiho
    I'm rooting for you.
[08:30] Sakura
    I-I'll try.
[08:40] Tomoyo
    You can do it!

SIGN    everything one there is
SIGN    Plain as day Touch-and-go Anything and

[08:51] Morita
    You're all correct!
[08:53] Wada
    Yes!
[09:09] Sakura
    S-Sorry...
[09:13] Morita
    Okay, here's the next set of problems.
[09:15] Tomoyo
    What's the matter, Sakura-chan?
[09:18] Sakura
    Oh, uh...
[09:20] AKiho
    Sakura-san, you got it on the
    first try! That was amazing!
[09:24] Sakura
    No, I just remembered studying that one.
[09:27] Sakura
    I just imagined that, right?
[09:36] Sakura
    S-S-Sorry!
[09:47] Morita
    What in the world is wrong, Kinomoto-san?
[09:49] Sakura
    U-Um, I...
[09:55] Sakura
    I saw something weird outside again!
[09:59] Tomoyo
    Sensei, Kinomoto-san says
    she isn't feeling well.
[10:07] Morita
    A-Are you all right?
[10:09] Sakura
    Um, y-yes! No! I mean...
[10:12] Tomoyo
    May I take her to the nurse's office?
[10:14] Morita
    You're on the health committee, aren't you?
[10:15] Chiharu
    Sakura-chan...
[10:17] Morita
    Will you two be all right?
[10:18] Tomoyo
    Yes.
[10:19] Tomoyo
    Let's go.
[10:26] Sakura
    Sorry, Akiho-chan!
[10:33] Tomoyo
    Nobody else is around.
[10:35] Sakura
    I'm sorry to drag you out of class for this!
[10:39] Tomoyo
    Don't worry about me.
    It seemed like an emergency.
[10:43] Tomoyo
    But what happened, so suddenly?
[10:47] Sakura
    The trees in the courtyard were moving!
[10:49] Sakura
    At first, it was just one... just one
    tree that started walking.
[10:53] Sakura
    But then more and more of them did it!
[10:55] Tomoyo
    Then, it's probably another...
[10:58] Sakura
    Yeah. It might be another new card.
[11:05] Tomoyo
    At last, the time has come to say that line.
[11:21] Tomoyo
    I thought this might happen,
    so I brought this costume...
[11:26] Tomoyo
    I thought this might happen,
[11:27] Tomoyo
    so I brought my camcorder,
    and they both proved useful!
[11:31] Sakura
    I wondered why you brought your bag.
[11:34] Sakura
    So this is why.
[11:36] Tomoyo
    Sakura-chan, do a little twirl!
[11:41] Sakura
    L-Like this?
[11:46] Tomoyo
    That's perfect!
SIGN    zip zip zip
[11:48] Tomoyo
    Do some other poses.
[11:50] Tomoyo
    Oh, and hold the hem of your skirt!
[12:04] Tomoyo
    Sakura-chan!
[12:11] Sakura
    They're trying to leave the school grounds!
[12:27] Sakura
    Key that hides the forces of dreams!
[12:31] Sakura
    Show me your true form!
[12:35] Sakura
    Release!
[12:55] Sakura
    Stay here, Tomoyo-chan!
[12:58] Tomoyo
    Sakura-chan!
[13:03] Sakura
    Aqua?
[13:04] Sakura
    But watering the trees
[13:06] Sakura
    might just energize them and
    make them run faster.
[13:09] Sakura
    In that case...
[13:11] Sakura
    Siege!
[13:26] Sakura
    Now, they can't get out—
[13:35] Sakura
    W-Wait!
[13:43] Sakura
    What should I do?
[13:46] Sakura
    Make yourself more flexible!
[14:06] Sakura
    It's going to break!
[14:10] Sakura
    Maybe...
[14:12] Sakura
    If I use that card...
[14:17] Sakura
    But if I'm wrong...
[14:28] Sakura
    Water, fill the earth and
    halt their movement.
[14:34] Sakura
    Aqua!
[15:03] Sakura
    It worked.
[15:08] Sakura
    Now!
[15:10] Sakura
    Open a path before me!
[15:25] Sakura
    Force without master,
[15:26] Sakura
    heed the call of my Staff of Dreams,
    and become my power!
[15:31] Sakura
    Secure!
SIGN    Action
[16:00] Tomoyo
    Sakura-chan!
[16:02] Sakura
    Tomoyo-chan!
[16:03] Sakura
    We were right. It was a card.
[16:08] Tomoyo
    I finally got... to say my line...
[16:11] Tomoyo
    I even had the costume and camcorder ready!
[16:15] Sakura
    Now!
[16:16] Sakura
    Open a path before me!
[16:18] Tomoyo
    But I didn't arrange a way to film you
    while you're enclosed within magic!
[16:27] Sakura
    It was really hard on me...
[16:29] Sakura
    Both capturing the card and
    moving the trees back.
[16:33] Sakura
    I was afraid someone would see me.
[16:35] Kero
    They didn't go back on their own?
[16:37] Sakura
    No, they didn't!
[16:39] Sakura
    I had to use this card again
    to make them move.
[16:43] Sakura
    I mean, Tomoyo-chan was glad
    she got to film me using magic
SIGN    If you walk too fast, people will
    hear your roots hitting
    the ground, so move slowly!
[16:47] Sakura
    She missed the first time because
    it was hidden by Siege, but...
[16:50] Kero
    Rats!
[16:51] Kero
    If I'd gone to school with you, my heroic
    deeds would've also been caught on video!
[16:56] Yue
    So, what can this card do, anyway?
[16:56] Kero
    I wanted to be filmed, too!
[17:00] Sakura
    Well...
[17:03] Sakura
    Action.
[17:09] Sakura
    It seems to make things move.
[17:11] Kero
    But when the heck would you use that?
[17:15] Sakura
    It would make carrying tea easier.
[17:17] Kero
    You're thinkin' on a pretty small scale!
[17:19] Sakura
    It can move trees, too! That's not small!
[17:26] Yue
    I sense no magic in this, either.
[17:30] Yue
    But...
[17:31] Yue
    When you use that key, you can use its power.
[17:35] Yue
    Perhaps the key lies in that staff.
[17:41] Kero
    In other words, the staff is the key, so...
[17:45] Kero
    Couldn't you also say,
    "The key is the key," too?!
[17:48] Kero
    If you tried hard enough, I bet
    that would make a great pun!
[17:52] Kero
    Key and key... The key is the key.
[17:54] Kero
    The key's a key, too! The key's key!
[17:55] Yue
    I'm changing back.
[18:04] Yukito
    Huh?
[18:05] Yukito
    Were you two done talking?
[18:07] Sakura
    Y-Yeah!
[18:09] Kero
    That Yue, he just changed right
    back, without sayin' goodbye...
[18:13] Yukito
    Um, sorry!
[18:15] Kero
    If only Yue were as genuine
    as you, Yukibunny...
[18:18] Kero
    Of course, if he tried to be genuine,
    he wouldn't be Yue!
[18:22] Yukito
    Really?
[18:25] Yukito
    Someday, I'd love to meet the other me.
[18:30] Sakura
    Yukito-san...
[18:35] Yukito
    I guess the tea got cold, huh?
[18:36] Yukito
    I'll make some more.
[18:38] Yukito
    I also have some nerikiri and mizu manju.
[18:41] Kero
    Yeah! Yay!
[18:42] Sakura
    I'll help you.
[18:44] Yukito
    Thanks.
[18:44] Kero
    Anko!
[18:46] Kero
    Yay!
[18:48] Kero
    Anko! Anko! Anko!
[18:51] Kero
    Anko—
[18:52] Yukito
    Hey, Sakura-chan...
[18:53] Sakura
    Yes?
[18:55] Yukito
    Have you talked to Toya?
[18:57] Sakura
    Onii-chan!
[18:58] Sakura
    This morning, he dumped
    all his broccoli on me,
[19:01] Sakura
    and he told me to become a monster!
[19:04] Yukito
    I see...
[19:06] Yukito
    You two really are close, huh?
[19:08] Sakura
    We are not!
[19:12] Girl
    Do you have a cold, Mr. Bunny?
[19:17] Toya
    That's Sakura talking about me, isn't it?
[19:20] Toya
    Tomorrow, she's getting a
    konjac combo for breakfast!

[19:30] Sakura
    Yeah.
[19:31] Yukito
    It's okay. You can answer it.
[19:33] Yukito
    I'll be waiting in the kitchen.
[19:35] Sakura
    Thank you.
[19:39] Sakura
    This is Sakura.
[19:40] Syaoran
    Do you have time to talk?
[19:42] Sakura
    Sure. I'm at Yukito-san's house.
[19:45] Syaoran
    What did Yue think?
[19:50] Sakura
    He still couldn't sense any magic.
[19:53] Sakura
    And it seemed like he didn't notice
    anything new, as well
[19:56] Syaoran
    I see.
[19:58] Sakura
    Eriol-kun still hasn't replied, either.
[20:02] Syaoran
    I see.
[20:04] Sakura
    There's a lot I don't understand,
[20:07] Sakura
    but I'm going to do whatever I can.
[20:10] Sakura
    I'll start with what's front of me!
[20:12] Syaoran
    You're pretty amazing, Sakura.
[20:14] Sakura
    Huh?
[20:15] Sakura
    No, I'm not! You're way
    more amazing than I am!
[20:18] Sakura
    You're living by yourself, and...
[20:20] Sakura
    Oh, that reminds me... Listen...
[20:26] Sakura
    Would it be okay... if I
    made a lunch for you?
[20:30] Syaoran
    For me?
[20:31] Sakura
    Yeah.
[20:32] Sakura
    I've been practicing,
    so I don't burn the eggs.
[20:35] Sakura
    My brother's still taste better, though...
[20:39] Syaoran
    Thanks. I'll look forward to it.
[20:42] Sakura
    I'll do my best.
[20:44] Syaoran
    If anything unusual happens, call me.
[20:48] Syaoran
    Even at night.
[20:50] Sakura
    Okay.
[20:52] Sakura
    And, um...
[20:53] Syaoran
    What?
[20:57] Sakura
    Can I call you, even if...
    nothing unusual is going on?
[21:07] Syaoran
    Any time.
[21:09] Sakura
    Thanks, Syaoran-kun!

[21:27] Eriol
    How did it go?
[21:28] Syaoran
    She said both Yue and Cerberus
    didn't notice anything.
[21:33] Syaoran
    The only unusual thing is a new
    student joining her class.
[21:37] Eriol
    A new student?
[21:38] Syaoran
    Yeah.
[21:41] Eriol
    A girl, right?
[21:43] Syaoran
    Yeah. I didn't sense any magic in her.
[21:47] Eriol
    My readings show the same thing.
[21:49] Syaoran
    Anything else?
[21:51] Eriol
    Nothing.
[21:55] Eriol
    Only that she and Sakura-san get along well.
[21:58] Eriol
    They should become good friends.
[22:01] Syaoran
    I see.
[22:03] Eriol
    Has anything else happened?
[22:05] Syaoran
    Another new card showed up.
[22:10] Eriol
    I'm sure it's hard on you,
    but this is not the time.
[22:14] Syaoran
    I know.
[22:16] Syaoran
    I came here to be ready for
    that time, when it comes.

[24:17] Kero
    the teachers at Tomoeda Middle School!
[24:20] Kero
    The homeroom teacher with the cute,
    short hair is Morita-sensei.
[24:23] Kero
    She seems real nice, and the
    subject she teaches is Japanese.
[24:25] Kero
    Her assistant, Mori-sensei, is also
    the Cheerleading Club adviser.

    Sakura's worst subject, and science—
