"Wow! I'm bushed!" Todd moaned as he came through the door. Miss Mackenzie smiled when she saw him.

"You capture a clow card?" She asked, intrigued. "Must have been a hard one..."

"Well...no, the card itself wasn't too bad...it was just the Naughty Ones were there and they tried to take it but we beat them off." Todd then took a look of wist. "Madison dressed me up as a dumb bunny! I fought the creepy Naughty Ones in bunny clothing!"

"Sounds like you've had a rough day. Oh, by the way...I marked your test. You got a 61."

"Rough indeed." Todd groaned as he undid his coat and Kero flew out of the pocket Todd lurched to the bathroom to take a long nice bath.

"Hey there, Layla. What's happening?" Kero asked cheerily. "I've just had fun being a bunny...Madison must be running out of ideas to dress us up with."

"...I just got off of the phone with Todd's mom." She smiled as she sat down on the couch with a coffee. "His mother is returning in about a week. I guess you'll have to stay under cover!"

"Todd's mom...I wonder...Maybe she won't mind me talking to her..."

Mackenzie sets her coffee on the coaster for it and turns to him. "You can't talk to her! You will lose your cover if you do. Besides, Todd's mom is starting to get suspicious of you."

"I really, really want to battle his mom in Monster Battle 2000X! She's so good and I want to learn from her."

"I don't think it's a good idea, but you think and you do what you think is best." Mackenzie replied. "What Clow card was just caught and how many is it? It'll give me an idea on how long it would be until the final judgment."

"Well, let's take a look!" Kero turned to the coat he was in and began to glow. All of Todd's clow cards floated glowing out of his coat and Floated all around him. "There's: Windy, Dash, Fly, Wood, Jump, Water, Illusion, Sword, Shield, Song, Flower, Sleep, Lock, Loop, Big, Power, Through, Firey, Snow, Silent, Mirror, Thunder, Change, Sweet and the newest one...Cloud. 25 in all that Todd has, 3 Elementals out of 4 he has too: Windy, Firey, Watery. Then, there's that one that the Li kid has which is the Storm card. Sakura has the Time card and the Mysterious Stranger has: Shadow, Voice, Little and Shot. Finally...the Naughty ones have 2 which are the Rain card and the Glow Card." Kero smiled and finally stated. "33 Clow cards have been captured in total!"

"That's quite a few for only about 4 months of time..." Miss Mackenzie replied. "There's still about 20 that need to be captured and things will be okay since the Naughty Ones only have two. The Clow cards still aren't sealed though, you need a name on the bottom to seal it...The clow cards could fly away at any time!"

"The clow cards trust Todd as their master I guess...  They would all fly away if they didn't." Kero said to them. "Right?" The clow cards glowed brighter and flew into the clow book which was in Todd's room. "See? They like Todd!"

"That's good..." Miss Mackenzie replied. "If they didn't like him, then we'd have a problem on our hands..."

Meanwhile late in the evening, on the bottom floor were Sennyo and Sennae creeping around the bottom floor., following Tatea to the elevator. Tatea walked into the elevator and Sennyo and Sennae took the stairs to the third floor where Tatea got off and entered the apartment. No one was home, but the apartment was still a mess, Tatea was about to take off her shoes when she heard a knock on the door. Tatea looked through the peep hole and saw there was no one there. She shrugged and suddenly there was another knock. Tatea suddenly sensed something...evil. She opened the door and looked around. "...OKAY!" She shouted with anger and a twinge of fear. "Whoever's there...you can come on out!!"

They appeared on either side of her door out of nowhere Sennyo and Sennae appeared. Tatea saw them and slammed the door and locked it. She was more than a little creeped out and the locks on each part of the door undid. Tatea jumped to the window and opened it. Poison Ivy was about.but she moved them aside by the time the door was forced open. She carefully and silently ran down the fire exit and reached the bottom of the apartment. She looked up and saw both of them looking down on her, smirking evilly. Tatea ran to the back wall and looked back as they practically flew up to her. Sennae punched her and she smashed into the brick wall. They both smiled evilly as Tatea suddenly fell limp. But their evil glee turned into terror when Tatea looked back up...the light gone from her eyes and flashing with a terrifying red glow. They heard a sound kind of like thunder. Suddenly the dirt and pebbles around her lifted off the ground and Tatea started to float in the air, the small rocks and litter and objects floating and whirling around her, her eyes still flashing the lurid red. The Rocks battered the terrified Twins and they were lifted off by an unknown power and control of the ground and thrown about 30 feet away from the floating girl. They crashed onto the ground, tumbling on the pavement. They were covered in small cuts and scrapes thanks to the road rash they recieved.

Sennyo got up quickly. "Brother...l, l, let's get out of h, here!! I don't know what her power is...but i, it frightens me."

"Why...do...you have ...so much power, girl?!" Sennae slowly gets up and stammers. "There must be a reason...could...you...be...our master??"

The seemingly possessed Tatea floated up higher and her eyes flashed brightly and a huge flash occurred, knocking Sennyo another 7 feet and back down to the pavement. A second flash knocked Sennae down. Sennyo and Sennae knew they were out gunned so they took flight and ran away. Tatea floated back down to the ground and collapsed to the pavement. When she got up, she was back to normal. "What...what happened? And what was I doing?"

Todd had his teeth brushed, he enjoyed his bath and was now getting ready for bed. He and Kero jumped into the bed and Todd drifted to sleep. And he started to dream. A drop of water fell into a pool of black water and Todd's outline appeared in the water's reflection. "Oh...I'm here again!" He walked into the Lasan and the Silhouette appeared.

"I have been waiting for you, Todd Arcana." The Silhouette started. "You need to be alert... your final judgment will come from..."

Suddenly, Todd woke up from the Alarm and he saw Kero sleeping at the foot of his bed. Todd gently woke him up and asked. "Hey, Kero? How come you didn't wake me up before the alarm in that usual cruel manner?"

Kero floated up and gave a mighty little yawn and smiled. "Guess who came into your apartment, last night?"

"Who?" Todd yawned groggily and went to put on his uniform for school.

"You're mom is home!" Kero smiled. "She came home WITH Aiden!"

"Mom and Sakura's Dad?" Todd asked. "What do you mean?"

"They're engaged!" Kero cheered and they both heard a noise in the Kitchen.

"Todd! Kero! Time for breakfast!" Alicia called from within the kitchen. "I've made your favorite! Blueberry Pancakes and Vanilla Pudding to go on top of it!"

"Wow!" Todd hastily got up and threw his uniform on. He ran to the dinner table which was quite huge now. It had Aiden, Tori, Sakura and Alicia who was just about to sit down along with Aiden. "So Mom...you know about Kero?"

"Sure! We all do!" She replied.

"The squirt was keeping him from us but now the cat's out of the bag. I could sense him all along anyway." Tori commented as he shoveled a whole pancake into his mouth. "These are good, Mom!"

"Thanks, dear!" Alicia replied.

"Tori called my Mom, Mom? That's just too weird." Todd thought and turned red as he noticed a smiling Sakura next to him. "Sakura..."

"Well, Todd. Here we are..." She smiled warmly but then looked at her watch. "Whoa! No!! We're late!!" Sakura grabbed Todd by the arm and dragged him to the front entry, he was still holding his fork.

"Late for School?" Todd asked, putting on his roller blades and equipping his backpack. "But its..."

"Now, now, now..." She smiled and winked at him. "We can't be late for school now, can we?"

"No, we can't..." Todd smiled as they both skated to the doors of the elevator and they both got into it. Sakura didn't push the button and turned to him and kissed him quickly.  Todd blinked he went red in the face. "Uh...?"

"Now that we're alone...there's something I need to tell you...it's serious." She said, putting her hands on his shoulders gently, he blushing even redder. "Please don't laugh...it's very important."

"I won't...you can trust me." Todd nodded and the elevator started to move to a lower level. "What is it?"

"Todd I..." Sakura started but the elevator door opened and Tatea walked in. Sakura sighed. "Hi, Tatea."

Tatea smiled back, almost smirking. "You two seem pretty affectionate to one another lately...Tejina and Blair are going to go steady. You guys are kind of like them...Anyway...today is a school wide picnic! No classes today...it's part of the raising money to do the summer trip thing."

"That's cool...um what are we doing for the picnic?" Todd asked nervously. "What's up?"

"Well...I'm doing a magic show." Tatea said. "...And you and Sakura are in a play involving knights and dragons and stuff. It's improv so you just act it out and the others will play along with you."

"That sounds cool!" Todd replied and turned to Sakura. "...You'll be my princess..."

"...And you'll be my knight..." Sakura replied lovingly.

"...And you'll BOTH be what I puke on if this keeps up..." Tatea gagged and the elevator door opened.

They all went to school together which was something they'd never do normally. They went to their class and sat at their usual spots. Li turned to Todd when he sat down. "Congratulations, I heard your Mom and Sakura's Dad are getting married soon." Li then winked at him. "I wonder if you and Sakura'll get married too?"

"I don't know!" Todd replied. "Today's gonna be a great day!"

Jeremy bounded after Tatea and sat next to her. "So do YOU have a date for today's picnic?"

Tatea turned to him and thought of something. "I've got it. Why don't you help me in my magic show? I need a big, strong, sexy man like you to help me!"

"Really? Wow!!" Jeremy cried out.

Miss Mackenzie came in and counted the people here. Everyone except Jaki and Mashou were there at the time but they were helping setting up the pavilions. "Okay! Everyone's here so let's go and take our places!"

Everyone cheered and went outside in the courtyard. Tatea commanded the hapless Jeremy to move all the things into position and slave driven him into doing the manual labor. Todd, Sakura, Li, Meilin and Zachary, Nikki, Rita, Chelsea and Jaki and Mashou were part of the performing play. Nikki was dividing the starring roles.

"Okay! Thanks to Madison, we've got multiple costumes for everyone! She's also gone ahead with the stage production and props and camera. We've got everything to make a really cool production!" She flipped to the roles and Todd went to see what role he got but she kept it away from him. "Don't worry, Todd! I'll call the roles out!"

"Oh...okay!" Todd shrugged.

Nikki read the pages off for the roles of each character. "Todd! You are the famous knight Edgar! Sakura, you're the princess named Lenna. Zachary, you're the queen!"

Zachary sighed. "Again? Well...Did you know that in Ancient times in Roman and greek all the way up to Shakespeare, boys often played girl parts? Also, they had several roles to do in a play, 2 or 3 even!"

"That's great! You told a story that's actually true!" Chelsea called out to him. "I liked your story!"

"Okay...Meilin, you're the King and Li, you're the old Wizard and Jaki and Mashou, you're the evil queen and king who want  to destroy the peaceful land. Chelsea and Rita are going to be extras...you know for crowd scenes and stuff like that and I'm going to be narrator. The people are gathering here so let's start the show!" She looked at madison who was ready with her camera. "Ready?"

"Ready!" Madison replied cheerily, with her camera.

Nikki was the narrator and she began: "Far away in a distant time, lived a Knight and a princess in the peaceful kingdom of Samaldio. The princess was kidnapped and thrown into the tall tower on the middle of the evil forest full of danger. She was also transformed into a frog by day thanks to the evil king and queen. At night though, she changed into a beautiful swan thanks to a wizard.

"When am I EVER a human!?" Princess Lenna stomped onto the stage.

"FINE! We'll do a compromise. We'll make you a human by night and by day...an ugly frog with beautiful swan wings. You also have hair that's 20 feet in length." Suddenly there was a huge poof and smoke and it cleared revealing princess Lenna with a 70 pound wig. "And this is the result since you wear your hair up!

"Wha!" Princess lenna collapsed to the ground. "Help! Save me!"

"The wig was actually a monster created by the evil wizard. Just when the times were the most grim, our Hero stepped out."

Todd stepped out, revealing his Knightly attire. He tried to move but tripped over his armor and fell into the cursed hair pile. "Wha! Help me!!"

"Some knight YOU are!" Sakura shouted.

"And the monster wig gobbled them both up. The evil King and Queen stepped out and gloated over their deadness."

"They are DEAD!! HA HA HAAA! WE DID IT!!" The King and queen chanted. "DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!!"

The wizard walked onto the stage, totally miffed. "HEY!! That Wig monster was MY creation! Don't steal my credit!"

"SHUT UP!!" The King and Queen pushed the wizard into the monster wig and it gobbled him up and burped loudly.

Rita and Chelsea stomped onto the stage, also miffed. "HEY NIKKI! When do WE get to be in here!"

"The wig was drawing a crowd...but they were also too close and fell in and the wig gobbled THEM up as well...and I step up! I'll save the day! Since I have power of narration, I commanded the wig to die...and it did!" There was a puff of smoke and it revealed a dead lifeless wig, indicated by the Xs for eyes. "The End!"

The wig suddenly flew up in the air and a bunch of angry cast members emerged from below. Sakura started first. "Hey YOU, Narrator! You've lost the job!!"

"The phrase: 'Drunk off of your own power' comes to mind!" Chelsea and Rita state angrily.

"Let's get her!!" Everyone in the trapdoor all scream. They chase her off of the stage with Nikki screaming. Those in the audience who weren't on the ground laughing were applauding and cheering wildly. Suddenly Sakura gets up and looks around, finally asking. "Hey! Where's Zachary?"

Zachary got into the picnic snacks and was scarfing them down and everyone including Nikki the narrator gave him a death glare. Zachary gulped nervously and they all charged towards him, screaming. "Off with the Queen's head! Off with the Queen's head!!"

*         *        *

Meanwhile, Tatea and Jeremy were getting ready for the magic show. Tatea was relaxing, holding a newspaper and a glass of lemonade while Jeremy is doing manual labor. He set up the exhibits and grunted while he tried to move the huge box onto a mobile table. "Ugh! There done!"

"Thanks, slave!" Tatea went back to change into her sexy black magician robes. She walked out dressed in a revealing party dress and a cape that flowed with the wind. She also had a top hat and it had a plume to the side. She walked up to him and handed him a white bunny costume. "Here, put this on!"

"What?!" Jeremy examined the bunny suit which looked strikingly familiar to the one Todd wore on his last card capture. "I'm not getting into this! Not for a million bucks!"

"I'll hold your hand if you do!" Tatea replied, winking flirtatiously at him.

"I'll be out in a couple of minutes." He innately replied, grabbing the bunny suit and going into the mobile changing room. He came out, dressed from head to toe in cute bunny attire but Tatea's back was turned. "Hey Tatea. What do you say?"

Tatea turned around. "Huh? AUGH!!" Tatea cries out loud when she noticed he was wearing it. "Man! That's too much! I'm gonna lose my lunch!"

People were coming to her exhibit and the preparations were done. Tatea first opened with the bunny trick. She attempted to put a cat into the hat but runs into some resistance. "The cat goes...in...ugh..." The cat growled and whined and jumped up and hit her in the face. "OW!" Another cat jumps up from the hat and jumps onto her. Tatea pried the crazy cats from her. "Ouch!!"

From below the stage was Jeremy, he was staring at his watch. "Tatea said for me to come up from the trap door in exactly 6 minutes for the bunny act which is ending right...about...now!" Jeremy suddenly bursts out of the trap door.

A few seconds earlier, Tatea was on the trapped door. "Um sorry about that...anyway...my next triAAAGH!!" Tatea was suddenly flung from the trap door to the back of the stage.

"Taa Daa!!" Jeremy yelled. "My name is Wiggles! I'm now a human!!" The audience looked at one another and started to get up and leave. Jeremy turned to an angry Tatea and asked. "What did I do wrong?"

"I said 16 minutes, not 6!!" Tatea yelled. "There goes my dream of being the best Magician in the world. "I'll put in my Autobiography though that it was the fault of some DUMB bunny that didn't listen to instructions!"

And the rest of the picnic was okay, the people had a good time and everyone managed to raise a lot of money for themselves. The school was let out and Sakura and Todd walked home with one another. "This has been an amazing day! So...what were you going to say to me this morning?"

"Um..." Sakura blushed and swallowed. "...I just wanted to say that...I love you."

Todd blushed and smiled, kind of bashful. "...I love you too. I've loved you since the day I met you...I, I just didn't want to say it yet...but what about Li?"

Sakura's shoulders drooped and she looked to the ground. "I loved him too...but I couldn't say it. Li would say it to me if he loved me so he must not have..."

Todd also frowned and got a little sad. "...hmm..."

Sakura took Todd's hand and she blushed. "Um...You're mom and my dad are getting married...will you marry me when we get older, too?"

"Yes." Todd replied as he put his arm around her. "I would..." They both walked off into the sinking sun. They looked at Tori and Aiden and Alicia and Kero pack up their stuff and loaded it onto a moving truck. "What's happening?"

"We're moving! We're moving to a house that's large enough for all of us. It's the house four houses from our old house, Sakura." Aiden replied.

"Isn't that the house with the indoor swimming pole?" Sakura asked.

"Yes!"

Sakura and Todd joined hands and jumped up and down. "Woo Hoo!! We're getting our own indoor pool!! Awesome! Woo hoo! Swimming! Swimming! Even in winter!!"

They packed up the rest of the things and they set off to their new home. They opened the door and checked it out. It was so roomy, it had 4 bedrooms on the top and had a beautiful kitchen, bathroom and anything else. It was the personal dream home. Within an few hours, the beds were unpacked and they settled into their new home. Todd had a whirlpool bath that was very relaxing and went to bed early and found the Clow book in a box. Todd smiled, this must have had the best day in his life. He looked at the ceiling and sighed a heavenly sigh. The new house was huge too and Sakura loves him too, he was just at the height of his life. The only thing left for him today was to study about the remaining clow cards. He took the clow book out and opened it to the Dream card. He saw the most odd thing, the words were just gibberish and crazy numbers. When Todd looked at it more closely and the letters slid off of the page and onto the bed. "What in the world is going on here!?" The numbers and letters started floating up in the air and danced. They started to glow in multi colors. "What is this?! What's wrong with it!?"

Sakura burst into the room because of Todd's shouting and asked. "That wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." Sakura froze in that pose and fell over and burst into flames. She exploded into more crazy letters and numbers. Todd stood up as those numbers glowed in a rainbow and danced around him.

"...What? I hear my name?" Todd stood up on his bed.

"Todd!!" Li cried, but Todd couldn't see him.

"Todd!!" Kero cried, but Todd couldn't see him.

"Todd!!" Sakura cried, but Todd couldn't see her.

"Todd!!" Sakura cried, but Meilin couldn't see her.

"Todd!!" Miss Mackenzie cried, but Todd couldn't see her.

"Todd!!" Kero cried, but Todd couldn't see him.

"Todd!!" Li cried, but Todd couldn't see him.

"Todd!!" Sakura cried, but Todd couldn't see her.

"Todd!!" Meilin cried, but Todd couldn't see her.

Todd looked about and jumped off of his bed. "Why are they calling me?" They continued calling out to him and they became more frequent and more then one did so at a time.

"Todd!!" Sakura and Li cried, but Todd couldn't see them.

"Todd!!" Kero and Miss Mackenzie cried, but Todd couldn't see him.

Todd sighed and lowered his gaze to the floor. "...Oh no ...this ...world ...isn't ...real..." Suddenly his room and possessions shattered into a billion sparkles with all the color of the rainbow. The twirled around and beamed very brightly. "I remember my way!!! This world...was how I wanted it! But the world wouldn't be real..."

Everyone around him appeared, Sakura, Meilin, Li, Miss Mackenzie and Kero appeared around him. "WAKE UP!!!!"

Todd smiled and took out his pocket spear. He smiled and it grew to full size and he gripped it tightly. "This is a clow card! I can sense it." He then shouted. "Clow card...your name is Dream!!!"
Todd's Eyes and body jerked in his bed. He opened his eyes to see everyone in his room. Sakura was half asleep and almost totally out of it. She was using the time card to stop the time so they could communicate with him. Todd looked on his pillow and saw a sparkling and glowing blue butterfly. He turned to it and it transformed into the visible form of Dream. Todd got up and he already had his spear out. "Dream card!! Return to your power confined!! Dream!" Todd brought his spear down and a glowing clow card appeared. Dream got absorbed into it and it flew to Sakura.

Sakura took it and asked. "Are...you are all right...?" Sakura groans and collapsed. "Oh..."

"Sakura used up her energy so we could communicate with you." Li said. "You were in a pretty deep trance...you must have slept the whole night with contact from the dream card."

"...I should have realized it was just a dream." Todd frowned. "... Sakura..."

"What?" Li asked. "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing...what time is it?" Todd asked. "How long have I been down and out?"

"It's 8:22, you're missing school but I think this late can be excused." Miss Mackenzie replied.  "Sakura...I'll take you home. You can't go to school today because you're exhausted. I'll drive you to school, everyone."

Miss Mackenzie took Sakura to her car and everyone else followed her. They drove to Sakura's house and Miss Mackenzie knocked on the door and explained to Aiden that Sakura fainted during school and that she needs a rest. Aiden asked why but she just told him that Sakura wasn't feeling well. She drove Todd, Li and Meilin to school and in the car, Li asked him about some things.

"Hey Todd...when you were asleep and the Dream card got you, what did you dream about? Was it about your final judgment? Or was it something else, Card related?" Li asked. "It's none of my business but..."

"No...you don't need to worry about it." Todd smiled halfheartedly. "I had a dream of about how I would like the perfect world for me to be... I can only remember some of the events that went on...it was really realistic."

"Wow! What was it like?" Li asked. "Was it really cool? Were we in it?"

Todd looked out the window and sighed as he watched the outside world. "...Actually I don't really remember. I think Sakura and I were in it but...I don't much remember anything else..."

Next Time on Card Captor Todd!

"Summer is almost upon us...usually it's hot in the summer where I come from. I guess the winter months are like summer right?" Todd asked. "Even though...we still have break right?"

"Nope! We have no break in the June, July and August months." Sakura said. "I'm going to improve on my skating! You want to come with me?"

"Sure thing! I'm not too bad at Skating...it's just like roller blading, right?"

"No."

*       *       *

"Where are my skates?" Todd asked as he looked around the bench. He looked under it and behind it but there was no pair of skates in sight. "Hey! These skates are a rental! Where are they?"

Sakura was also looking for them. "I saw them one minute and not the next!" Sakura espied them lying on the bench far away. "There they are! Let's go!"

They ran to the bench which the skates were on and suddenly, they sprouted pinkish wings and vanished right in front of them. "What on earth! Was that a clow card?"
