Chapter 76: A Polite Invitation!: Enter Sailor Pluto, The Sailor Guardian Of Time And Space!

So things really did seem to have finally quieted down in Tomoeda.

Well, about as quiet as it could've possibly been for Sakura and I.

But anyway, it was on this day, as both of us still lay sound asleep in our beds, that we were currently having a dream.

But not just any dream, in fact, it wasn't a dream, but more like, an invitation of sorts.

Sakura and I are currently in an unfamiliar room, in our pajamas that we had both worn to bed, but we have our respective staffs clenched in our hands.

"Okay, would someone mind telling me where we are exactly? Because I sense that quite a lot of magic other then ours is present. Whoever is here, please show and identify yourself!" I said, sounding quite perplexed, and also quite on edge.

"I see you are quite perceptive Zachary, I see nothing gets by someone like yourself, you take quite well after your sister" a female voice said in an intriguing tone from across the room.

It was then that a female figure came into view from across the room, dressed in a sailor uniform type outfit. "As you asked, allow me to formerly introduce myself, I am Sailor Pluto, the keeper of the time space door, and the Sailor Guardian of time and space, it is a pleasure to finally meet the two of you," Sailor Pluto said, as a warm and comforting smile found its way onto her face.

"You are very beautiful," Sakura said, in awe of Sailor Pluto's appearance.

"Why thank you Sakura, I could say the same about you," Sailor Pluto said, with a closed eye smile.

"Okay, I would love to stay here all day and have the two of you chat. Look, I don't mean to be rude here or anything, but can we get back on topic as to why you have brought the two of us here Sailor Pluto?" I asked in a calm tone of voice, trying to get the two of them back on track.

"Oh, right, my apologies," Sailor Pluto said, a blush finding its way onto her face.

"The reason that I brought the two of you here, is that I foresee that a great evil is going to return a lot sooner then expected, and I am afraid that just me and the allies that I have, are nowhere near enough to combat this threat" Sailor Pluto said, her demeanor now changing to one of worry.

"That is why I need your help, can I count on the two of you?" Pluto asked.

It was then that I turned to Sakura. "I don't know Sakura, what do you think, she seems she can be trusted. But last I checked, didn't we already have something like this happen to us quite a while back?" I asked, sounding a bit concerned.

Sakura looked at me, remembering all too well about the time when we had both first become Cardcaptors, all those years back.

However...As it was proven several years back with the Snow Card, and many other captures like it, when Sakura set her mind on something, it was very difficult for me to challenge her actions. And this, was going to be no exception.

"Oh, it'll be fine Zachary, after all, she wouldn't be asking for our help if we weren't cut out for it," Sakura said, with a determined look on her face.

And sure enough, I couldn't challenge what Sakura had just said, I mean how could I?

"Alright, you can count on us!" I said, a look of determination finding its way onto my face. But internally, was freaking out.

"Okay then, but there is one more thing that the two of you need to know," Sailor Pluto said.

"What is it?" I asked, with intrigue in my tone.

"When we next meet, it will be under different circumstances, see you both then," Sailor Pluto said.

"Wait what different circumstances?" I asked.

"That is for the both of you to find out, I can't tell you, otherwise it would upset the balance of things," Sailor Pluto said with a close eyed smile.

It was then that the scene around us got very bright, and then the dream ended.

When both Sakura and I woke up, I immediately turned my attention to her.

"Well, I know for a fact that that wasn't a dream, and from what Sailor Pluto told us, we had best both be ready for what lies ahead," I said, a look of determination finding its way onto my face.

Sakura however, didn't say anything, she just simply nodded in response, indicating that she understood, that whatever this great evil was, and whoever Sailor Pluto's allies were. Sakura and I were going to need the help of our friends, and the power of the star cards, if we were going to have any sort of chance of combating it.
