Chapter 59: Stuck In A Fairy Tale!: Me And Sakura In Wonderland!

It was two days after the incident with the rogue dash card. And during those two days, Sakura and I went to visit her grandfather, after we were told to bring him a card as a gift. And the short and sweet of was that Sakura and I wound up transforming the Flower Card into a star card to help us with decorating the card. And while Sakura and I were still asleep in our respective beds in our room, we were both once again having the same dream that we both had had a couple days ago in class. The exact same dream that caused both of us to almost fall out of our seats at our desks at school had Li not jumped in and stopped us from hitting the floor of the classroom. It was after Sakura and I finally woke up after our dream had ended that Sakura hopped out of bed, and then proceeded to put on her school uniform in preparation to go to the school. After she was done putting on her school uniform, I then proceeded to put on my school uniform as well. And with both of us now dressed, and with a quick look to Kero, who was still sound asleep in one of our desks drawers. We headed downstairs, with me just behind Sakura, put on our respective roller blades, and took off down the street towards the school.

It was a little bit later in the day, and Sakura and I were busy on one of the school courtyard's many benches reading a book called "Alice In Wonderland", well, Sakura was the one holding the book, while I was sitting right beside her, as the both of us silently read the book. It was while we were both reading the book that Eli turned up and offered a leaf that we could both use as a bookmark to keep our spot in the book. And like every other time, I was still on edge when it came to trusting Eli. But, since Sakura didn't seem to have a problem with him, I decided that for the time being, to trust him, even though I was still a little on edge. However, that leaf that Eli had offered the both of us, had been enchanted by him, while the both of us had had our heads down at the book while we had been reading. After a little conversation in which Sakura said that wonderland seemed like an interesting place and that like a place that both her and I would like to visit, Eli interjected by saying that we might be visting it real soon. Neither Sakura or I knew what he meant by that, so we both decided to pass over what he had said. But, we would never know, that his words weren't anything to be taken lightly.

A short time later, at the school library. Li was busy studying a book in Japanese in order to challenge himself, Eli was studying off of a copy of the exact same book as Li, and Madison, Sakura and I sat at one of the nearby tables. And after a conversation between the five of us, and after Li and Eli went off to put their books back, Sakura and I went to touch the leaf that was being used in the Alice In Wonderland book as a bookmark. However, as soon as we both touched it, it began glowing red, and before each of us knew what was going on, we were both sucked into the book, and out of sight of Madison. "Sakura, Zachary!" Madison yelled as the pages in the book flipped by rapidly until the book closed completely. It was when Li came over and Madison explained the situation to him that Li reacted just how anyone with magical powers would react if his two best friends were suddenly sucked into a book, he asked Madison that we did what, and then proceeded to use his magic to scan the book, "A very powerful spell has been put on this book" Li said. But despite Madison's helpless yell and Li's discovery of the spell, neither of them could help us. Because whether we liked it or not, we were now stuck in a fairy tale.

It was after some time had passed and after some running around by both Sakura and I. Which wasn't the most not embarrassing thing since both of us looked quite ridiculous in the outfits we were put in when we wound up in the book. Sakura was in a pink outfit with a tutu black stockings, and red shoes. Whereas I had on a similar outfit, except no tutu, my shoes were blue, I had long blue socks, and I had a light blue outfit on top. And after running into a lot of the book's many characters, who for some reason resembled most of our friends, we decided to try and use some of the clow cards that we hadn't transformed yet to our advantage. Both Sakura and I then pulled out our respective keys "key of the star, with power burning bright, reveal the staff, and shine your light, release!" we chanted in unison. And with our respective staffs now in hand, I pulled out the Big card, threw it up into the air, and as the card spun in the air, Sakura and I raised our respective staffs, "we call upon the power of our stars, ancient forces near and far, Big card discard your former might, and draw your power from our light, star card!" we chanted in unison. It was then that the Big card stopped spinning and displayed the symbol and design and colors on the front and back just like all of the star cards that we had transformed previously, and almost immedietly Sakura and I started to grow, and we didn't stop growing until we were both 50ft tall. It was when we had stopped growing that we both had realized our mistake "Now we're too big!" Sakura yelled with enough force that it cause all of the grass and trees i the vicinity to be blown back. "Sakura, you need to stay calm and focus, I need us both at our best if we are going to find a way out of here" I said in a low enough tone of voice so that Sakura could hear me, and also so that it wouldn't generate a shock wave like Sakura had done. "Thanks Zachary, I needed that" Sakura said. "You're welcome Sakura" I said with a reassuring smile. It was then that I had the idea to use the Little card to reduce our size. So, without saying a word, I pulled out the Little card, turned to Sakura, who nodded meaning that she understood exactly what I was planning to do, and once I had thrown the Little card up into the air, we then once again raised our respective staffs, "we call upon the power of our stars, ancient forces near and far, Little card discard your former might, and draw your power from our light, star card!" we chanted in unison.n.

A little later on, after Sakura and I had transformed the Big and Little cards into star cards, we happened upon a giant board game that was being played by two familiar individuals. The first one we both recognized immediately as Madison, although she introduced herself as another character from the book, and on the other end of the board was none other than what looked like Kero. But, when Sakura and I went over to him and proceeded to call his name, it became very apparent that this wasn't Kero. He proclaimed himself to be the Queen Of Hearts, to which he then transformed into Kero's true form and then proceeded to chase after Sakura and I. Luckily, during the chase, I had pulled out the Fly card, to which both of us had then used it to take off skyward and back towards the leaf bookmark that we had recently noticed had appeared in the sky.

It was right after Sakura and I had made it out of the book, that Li and Madison breathed a sigh of relief. And after Li and Madison hugged the both of us. Well, technically Madison hugged both of us, Li hugged me, whilst he was a bit hesitant to hug Sakura for some reason, so he wound up not doing so. And whilst all four of us reminisced about Sakura and I's wild journey inside of the book, all of us knew that whatever or whoever was doing all of this was going to have to answer for it and pay dearly.
