11. The Special Box
Sakura is on the bus, on her way to Madison's house. She remembered how at school, Madison asked her to come over. Kero is hiding in Sakura's bag but suddenly pops out. The people in the bus start to stare at her strangely as she talks to Kero, who is mumbling about how he can't breathe. The people think she's rather odd. After Sakura gets off the bus, she can't find Madison's house. Kero flies up to look, and is stunned. It turns out he found the house. He pulls Sakura up to see the house and Sakura is shocked at the sight of a very big house.
Madison runs out of the house to meet Sakura and leads her in. Sakura is still surprised. A maid comes in and asks Madison if she wanted tea. Madison asked for her to bring three cups and the maid is confused, for she only sees two people. Besides having a big house, Madison's room is very big, too. She shows them her video room, which is playing a video of Sakura. Sakura finds a costume on the table and Madison tells her she's making it for her. Sakura starts to ask what the problem Madison mentioned about when Madison's mother rushed into the room. Samantha asks them to eat a cake outside and after they leave, Kero gets upset because he wants cake. But then, he suddenly senses something.
Outside in the garden, the three of them are having tea and cake. Samantha tells them about how Sakura's mother loved strawberries. Samantha is so happy to just sit there and watch Sakura because she looked just like Natasha. They begin to chat about her mom and they learn that Natasha was very clumsy. When Natasha fell or hurt herself in some way, she'd always say "I'm okay, really". Then one say, when Natasha was putting a bird back in its nest, she fell from the tree and landed on someone; Aiden. Aiden told her that it was a good thing he was there to break her fall. This was the first time Sakura's parents had met. Samantha suddenly gets a call and she has to leave. The two girls go up to Madison's room, with a piece of cake for Kero.
Kero greets them when they enter, upset that he had to watch them eat. Madison gives him the cake and he happily takes it and eats it, at the same time mentioning he sensed a Clow Card. Madison tells her that her mom couldn't open her jewellery box. Kero senses it again and Sakura does, too. Madison puts the key into the box and the key gets thrown back. Kero wonders which card it is. Sakura taps it with her staff and a barrier flashes. Kero says it's the Shield Card. The Shield protects things that are special to people. He then suggests using the Sword and Sakura releases the Sword and cuts the barrier. The Shield appears before her and she seals it. Meanwhile, Madison was taping everything. She suddenly gets upset that Sakura couldn't wear her battle costume at the same time.
Madison puts the key into the lock and unlocks the box. Inside is a bouquet of flowers. Someone knocks on the door and opens it. It's Samantha and she's happy the box is open. Madison tells her she found a way to unlock it, with Sakura's help. Samantha takes out the bouquet. It had been Natasha's and on her wedding, she had carried a bouquet of Sakura flowers, which were her favourite. Natasha had said when she had a baby girl, she would name her 'Sakura'. Sakura is really happy by this. Samantha takes Sakura down to dinner while Madison takes out a small pouch. The pouch contained a present for Sakura and it used to belong to Sakura's mother. Madison's mother was going to give it to Sakura when she was older. Madison is about to leave when Kero asks for some dinner. Madison tells him she'll bring him dessert, as well.
