I'm the first one! Tomoyo: You are early, Sakura. Sakura: G'morning! You're early. Tomoyo: Good morning. Sakura: Tomoyo, are you on duty for something too? Tomoyo: That is not true. Tomoyo: I have something that I would like you to see, Sakura. Sakura: Video? Tomoyo: I took something really interesting last night. Sakura: What's that... just now? Sakura: This is the close up. Kero: What's wrong, Sakura? Kero: Clow Card? Where? Face me and bring it on! Kero: And...? Tomoyo: My! Exactly it! Kero: That felt awful. Sakura: Why did you come along? Kero: Well, to personally experience the Card Captor's daily life. Tomoyo: If you do not mind, could you introduce us? Sakura: He said his name is Kerberos. Tomoyo: He gives me a different impression than his name does. Sakura: More like a 'Kero,' doesn't he? Tomoyo: That is exactly right! Kero: Don't call me like I'm a frog! [Note: "Kerokero" in Japanese is the croaking sound of a frog.] Kero: I'm Kerberos, Beast of the Seal who guards the Clow Cards. Tomoyo: Clow Cards? Boy: Here I come! Boy: Over there, hey! Kero: In other words, Sakura became the Card Captor Sakura. Tomoyo: That is amazing! Tomoyo: The Card Captor who protects the town from the disaster of the Clow Cards! Tomoyo: That is so cool! Sakura: There's no way I can do such a difficult thing. Tomoyo: That is not true! If anyone can do it, it is you! Tomoyo: If you do not mind, is it possible for you show me your magic? Kero: No problem! No problem! Do it! Sakura: But... Kero: Don't worry! Don't worry, no one's gonna see it! Kero: Do a quick one! Sakura: O Key which hides the forces of darkness, Sakura: reveal thy true form before me. Sakura: I, Sakura, command thee under contract. Sakura: Release! Tomoyo: You can use magic with this wand, right? Sakura: Not unless with the cards. Kero: This? Sakura: Be...Before I knew it... Tomoyo: So do you not have a signature pose? Sakura: Wh...What?

Naoko: But anyway, we're the ones who must clean this up. Tomoyo: Oh my! Sakura: G'morning, Tomoyo. Tomoyo: Good morning. Tomoyo: It looks like a terrible situation. Tomoyo: To be able to do such a thing... Tomoyo: Could it happen to be the act of a Clow Card too? Kero: It's the act of a Clow Card. Tomoyo: Just as I thought! Sakura: That's why it was so difficult to clean up. Tomoyo: But thanks to that, class could not go on. Sakura: I... I was glad about that too, but... Sakura: But which Clow Card is it that's messing around at school? Kero: Um... I dunno. Kero: In the meantime, Sakura, it's Card Captor's turn! Sakura: Wh...Why? Kero: If it's the act of a Clow Card, it's gotta be captured, right? Sakura: I said I can't do it! Kero: Who was the one who blew away the cards? Kero: Okay, we'll go to the school tonight right away! Sakura: What?! Sakura: Tonight? Sakura: We can't do it at night! Kero: Why not? Sakura: Because the school at night... Sakura: Whoaaa! Sakura: No way! No way! No way! No way at all! Kero: But some cards don't become active if it's not at night. Tomoyo: Surely, the school at night might be dangerous. Sakura: Tomoyo! Tomoyo: That is why, I will come along too! Tomoyo: By all means, I must capture all your heroic moments on video! Sakura: Wh...Why?! Tomoyo: Because that is my hobby. Kero: All right! A surprise attack from the three of us tonight! Tomoyo: If it is so decided, Tomoyo: we must hurry with the completion of more signature poses. Kero: Okay! It's special trainin' from now on! Sakura: What?! Sakura: Th...This is scary! Kero: It's okay! It's okay! I'm comin' along. Sakura: I don't think it's okay... Tomoyo: Did I keep you waiting? Sakura: No, I just got here. Tomoyo: Let me introduce to you. These are my bodyguards. Woman: Miss, later then. Tomoyo: Okay. Please come pick me up when I call. Sakura: That's so cool! Sakura: There aren't many grade- schooler with bodyguards! Tomoyo: Oh? Grade-schoolers who can use magic are even rarer. Sakura: You may be right... Tomoyo: More than that, come this way for a second! Sakura: Wha...What's this? Tomoyo: Now, let's get changed. Sakura: Wh...Why?! Tomoyo: You are going to capture Clow Cards now, right? Sakura: Yeah... Tomoyo: You must wear something special when doing something special. Kero: That's right! Kero: If you don't challenge in a fittin' way as the Card Captor, Kero: you might lose spirit to the card. Tomoyo: I am glad that you understand me! Kero: Now then, Sakura, get changed! Tomoyo: There are hats too. Tomoyo: Now, now, go in! Tomoyo: This is lovely, Sakura! Sakura: I'm so embarrassed! Kero: There's nothin' to be embarrassed about! Tomoyo: Oh, that is right.

Tomoyo: No one is there, but the shadow... Sakura: Shadow? Tomoyo: Watch out! Sakura: Kero! Is that a Clow Card? Kero: That's... Kero: ...the act of the card, Shadow ! Sakura: Kero, stay with Tomoyo! Kero: Leave it to me! Sakura: O Key which hides the forces of darkness, Sakura: reveal thy true form before me. Sakura: I, Sakura, command thee under contract. Sakura: Release! Tomoyo: This is lovely! Sakura: O Wind, become a chain of admonition. Sakura: Windy ! Kero: Use the card, Fly , and run away for the time bein'! Sakura: Fly ! Kero: It seems Shadow has gathered the shadows of all the students in school. Kero: That's impossible for Sakura to face this many opponents! Tomoyo: Could there not be some ways to do it? Kero: The students' shadows would disappear if they're exposed to light. Kero: After that, there's only the true form of Shadow , Kero: and we can restrain it with magic. Kero: But it's night time right now... Tomoyo: If that is the case, please leave it to me. Kero: Huh? Sakura: That's why I said I can't do it! Sakura: What should I do... Sakura: Hey! Let go! Sakura: Help! Sakura: The shadows are gone? Kero: Sakura! Sakura: The shadows disappeared! Kero: Except for its true form, all shadows disappear when they're exposed to light. Tomoyo: Although it is impossible to call out the sun, Tomoyo: I can make use of the electricity. Sakura: Thanks, Tomoyo. Kero: Sakura! That's the true form! Sakura: All right! Tomoyo: Now is the time, Sakura! Kero: Show us the result of your special trainin'! Sakura: O Wind, become a chain of admonition. Sakura: Windy ! Sakura: Return to thy form which thou should be!
