3. Sakura's Heart-Throbbing First Date

Sakura: Hey, hey, these fish over here are really cute.
Naoko: Sakura-chan looks so happy.
Tomoyo: She does.
Naoko: Sakura-chan likes school sports and trips and stuff like that.
Sakura: I'm Kinomoto Sakura, a fourth grader at Tomoeda Elementary School. I'm on a social studies field trip today. We're supposed to visit public facilities in groups. We came to the aquarium. I love aquariums.
Chiharu: The penguin show is about to begin.
Rika and Naoko: Okay!
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan…
Sakura: Let's hurry, everyone!
Naoko: She's fast.
Sakura: Penguins, penguins, penguins.
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan looks so happy.
Sakura: Great, isn't it? It'd be nice… I wish I could swim with penguins, too.
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan, you're so good at swimming.
Trainer: Here.
Sakura: Cute!
Trainer: My leg!
Sakura: No, Penguin-san!
Sakura: Penguin-san! Penguin-san! Penguin-san!
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan.
Sakura: We've got to save the penguin! Penguin-san! Penguin-san! Penguin-san!
Touya: What the hell's going on?
Trainer: One of the penguins got drawn into the whirlpool! But I can't save it!
Sakura: Onii-chan…
Kero: Eh? You almost got drowned, Sakura?
Sakura: Kero-chan, you weren't listening to me, were you?
Kero: Oh, sorry…everyone was out and I got outta your room for the first time 'n a while, and I can't get over the rush. I see, but of course. There's no way Sakura could drown. You're a good athlete, if nothin' else.
Sakura: What do you mean "if nothing else"? No cake for you!
Kero: Ah, Sakura-sama!
Kero: It's even weirder that a penguin almost drowned.
Sakura: The adults said that maybe the plug in the pool got pulled out. It looked different to me.
Sakura: Rather, I felt I knew what it was.
Kero: Like when you meet a Clow Card?
Sakura: Yeah.
Touya: Tadaima!
Sakura: Oh no! Kero-chan, to my room! Hide yourself. Welcome back!
Touya: Yeah.
Sakura: Hey, onii-chan, you were at the aquarium today, right?
Touya: It's written here.
Sakura: Hey, why were you at the penguin show? What kind of work?
Touya: Feeding penguins.
Sakura: That'd be great!
Touya: Not.
Sakura: Eh? Why?
Touya: Because.
Sakura: Wha? How mean! I spent my allowance to buy those pancakes!
Touya: Hey! What are you waiting for? Come on in!
Yukito: Sorry, sorry. I was busy taking my shoes off. Hello, Sakura-chan.
Sakura: Yukito-san! Hello.
Yukito: Looks delicious. You're a good cook.
Sakura: It's nothing…
Touya: It's really nothing.
Sakura: Umm…
Yukito: Yes?
Sakura: You can eat some pancakes if you want.
Yukito: Are you sure? You spent your allowance to buy it, right?
Sakura: It's fine. I'll bring them up to onii-chan's room later.
Yukito: Thank you.
Sakura: Hanyaan… I can't knock. What should I do?
Yukito: Thank you, Sakura-chan.
Touya: What were you standing there for, Sakura?
Sakura: Ah, um… How did you noticed even though I didn't knock?
Yukito: Somehow, I felt Sakura-chan was there with them.
Kero: Aquarium, water.
Kero: Sakura, Sakura, what's wrong with ya?
Sakura: Yukito-saaaan!
Kero: What're you gonna do, you nitwit? What about the mission as the cardcaptor?
Sakura: I'd pick Yukito-san over the cards.
Kero: Hey, hey, it is ok with you if penguins and stuff drown again?
Sakura: No way. Poor penguins.
Kero: (Gasps) I though I was gonna die. Could be real tough this time. When the trainer and penguins almost drowned, they were in the water of course.
Sakura: Yeah.
Kero: And did you see the one that tried to drown them that time?
Sakura: Nope, nothing. Just that the water was whirling.
Kero: That's probably the Watery Card.
Sakura: I thought so! So, I just need to catch it and change it back to a card?
Kero: It ain't gonna be that easy. Watery is not visible in water. Even if you could pull it out of the water… If it *poof* comes apart and becomes scattered, it'll be hard to deal with. It's hard to catch something that's formless.
Kero: Watery is one of the higher-level cards in the Clow Cards. The four basic elements, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind are very hard to use. And Watery is an attack card, so it's got a violent temper. What you have are Windy, Fly, and Shadow. You're no match for it with those. For example, even if you used the same high level card Windy, we can't beat Watery. Because Windy is gentle.
Sakura: Windy, Shadow, and Fly. I have these three in my hands.
Sakura: How can I catch water? I have to catch the Watery Card soon.
Tomoyo: You don't appear so happy, Sakura-chan.
Sakura: Oh, that's not right.
Tomoyo: It seems like the time has come for the great ordeal that all heroes much face sooner or later.
Tomoyo: So, it could be the work of a Clow Card.
Sakura: Yeah, but Kero-chan told me that I can't beat it yet.
Sakura: Tomoyo-chan.
Tomoyo: Yes?
Sakura: Thanks for listening.
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan, you're the best when you're smiling.
Tomoyo: Oh yeah, this is for you, Sakura-chan. It's a brand new product my mother's company made. This one's for you, Sakura-chan, and this one's for Kero-chan.
Sakura: Is it ok to borrow them?
Tomoyo: Of course. My mother said that she wanted you to tell her how it feels to use.
Sakura: Thanks for thinking of me.
Sakura: Well, you tomorrow.
Tomoyo: Yeah, see ya!
Sakura: But, if I combine all three of these cards I could…
Kero: Ya can't. No way you can use 'em to beat it.
Sakura: But the Watery is there. I'm a bit frustrated.
Sakura: I'm sorry…
Yukito: Are you ok, Sakura-chan?
Sakura: Yu-Yukito-san!
Yukito: It's dangerous not watching where you are going.
Sakura: I'm sorry.
Yukito: Thanks for the food yesterday. The pancakes were nice.
Sakura: Oh, it's nothing.
Yukito: You're late coming back from the club meeting.
Sakura: Eh?
Yukito: You're in the cheerleading club, right?
Sakura: Y-yes!
Yukito: I heard from Touya that you hit him with a baton at home.
Sakura: Onii-chan! What a thing to tell Yukito-san!
Yukito: In thanks for the pancakes, what do you say we go for something delicious?
Sakura: What? Do you mean it?
Yukito: I found a restaurant that serves something quite delicious. We'll meet at the penguin park at one o'clock tomorrow.
Sakura: Okay!
Sakura: All right!
Sakura: Yukito-san!
Kero: What, what? Not again!
Tomoyo: Hello, this is Daidouji's residence. We are unable to answer the phone right now. Please leave a message after the tone.
Sakura: Tomoyo-chan, this is Sakura. I've got a date with Yukito-san tomorrow. We meet at one o' clock. I'm sooo happy! I'll call you later.
Sakura: U-um…
Yukito: Huh?
Sakura: Could it be that I got the meeting time wrong?
Yukito: Nope, you came 15 minutes early.
Sakura: So, Yukito-san…
Yukito: I didn't want to make you wait, so I came so early.
Sakura: Huh, we're at…?
Yukito: Oh, yeah, I heard you came here the other day.
Sakura: We're going in here?
Yukito: That's right.
Kero: I see. It's this aquarium. This is perfect. I can check if the Clow Card is here, and…
Tomoyo: I can videotape Sakura-chan's first date.
Kero: Let's go!
Tomoyo: Okay!
Yukito: What a big fish!
Sakura: Really!
Yukito: Is it edible?
Sakura: I don't think one person could eat it alone.
Yukito: I don't think that's true.
Tomoyo: How heartwarming…
Kero: They don't even hold hands…kids these days.
Kid: Stuffed Animal-san!
Kero: Young man, don't mess with me, or you'll get hurt.
Tomoyo: Those two are moving.
Kero: So long.
Sakura: Great, great, great! I didn't get to see this part last time.
Yukito: Because of the accident at the penguin show, you didn't know that there's a tea room, right?
Sakura: Yeah.
Yukito: Watching beautiful fish…Touya!
Sakura: Onii-chan!
Sakura: Someone else took over the job at the penguin show?
Touya: I heard that they're emptying all the water out of the tank to check.
Sakura: Eh? Then, Watery…
Yukito: You should be glad that you don't have to be in the refrigerator anymore. I heard it's really cold in the refrigerator where the penguin's food is stored.
Touya: It's almost the same. Now I'm making shaved ice.
Yukito: The one with the strawberry milk served here is really good.
Sakura: Shaved ice? Ice?
Yukito: Well then, get us two of them.
Touya: Got it. Are you sure you don't want a super size?
Yukito: What? You have super size?
Kero: What's with this? A date with her guardian?
Tomoyo: Eh?
Kero: Huh?
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan!
Sakura: Watery!
Touya: Sakura! Yuki!
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan!
Touya: Are you all right, Sakura?
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan!
Sakura: Tomoyo-chan. Oh, what about Yukito-san?
Touya: Are you all right, man?
Sakura: I thought I was going to die.
Tomoyo: So this must be…
Kero: Yeah, the work of a Clow Card.
Sakura: Watery was here.
Kero: You saw it?
Sakura: Come to think of it, what are you two doing here?
Yukito: Are you all right, Sakura-chan?
Sakura: Yes.
Yukito: The shaved ice was wasted.
Sakura: Shaved ice…shaved ice…ice…I got it! Yukito-san, thank you so much!
Yukito: Yeah…
Man: Good night.
Guard: Good night.
Kero: Are you sure it's all right?
Sakura: Leave it to me.
Kero: Here? The magic power is strongest here. It's here.
Tomoyo: Hello, this is Daidouji.
Sakura: You found it?
Tomoyo: Sure thing. First basement.
Sakura: All right. Now hide yourself. Watery! Come to me!
Sakura: Stand back. Kero-chan. Fly!
Sakura: Windy!
Kero: Nice, Sakura! If you freeze water, it's east to catch.
Sakura: I heard from Yukito-san that there's a refrigerator for storing food. Thanks to Tomoyo-chan, too.
Tomoyo: I'm glad I could help. It is nearing the appropriate time.
Sakura: Return to thy true from! Clow Card!
Kero: Anyway, what a great idea you hit upon.
Sakura: Thanks to Yukito-san. Yukito-saaaan!
Kero: Oh, well, Sakura's freezing, too. All right, perfect joke to end the story with. Next time show your fighting sprit again, Sakura!
