Chapter 93: The Plot Thickens!: A Peculiar Tremor!

A few days had passed since Sakura and I had captured the Mirage Card, and we were both in our room, doing our separate things. Sakura was busy braiding Meilin's hair, I was sitting on my respective bed, watching the two of them, while Kero was busy playing video games. But, both Sakura and I would soon realize, that what lay ahead for us, would soon become one of our toughest challenges yet.

Man, talk about a huge amount of embarrassment for both Sakura and myself. This was largely due to the fact that the both of us, along with Meilin, Madison, Akiho, and also Kero, who was hiding in Sakura's bag, were watching previous recordings of plays in which Sakura and I had acted in over the years at school. However, about halfway through the viewing session, an earthquake, or what seemed like an earthquake, was felt through the entire theater room. After Kero popped out of Sakura's bag, and told both Sakura and I that the earthquake wasn't normal, and seeing as how everyone else in the theater room was more preoccupied with the fact that quite a bit of stuff had fallen onto the floor of the theater room.

Sakura and I, without skipping a beat, hopped over our respective seats, pulled out our respective keys, and spoke "release" in the most hush tone we could muster. And with the appearance and then disappearance of our respective circles, and our respective staffs now in hand, I pulled out the Snooze Card. Without hesitation, I threw the Snooze Card forward, and as the card spun in place, Sakura and I then swung our respective staffs toward it. "Okay, now snooze" we said in unison. And once our staffs came within inches of the card, it then stopped spinning, and in an instant, Akiho was put to sleep. And after a quick run out of the theater room, and a quick encounter and conversation with Madison's mom, to which Sarkua and I had to try a little bit to hide our respective staffs behind our backs. Kero, helped us out in putting her, and her bodyguards to sleep, by placing the snooze card behind us, and in enough of a range so that we could both still use it. And as the card spun, we both knew that we would both wind up feeling a little guilty for doing this. "Please forgive us, now snooze" I said, as the circles appeared below both Sarkura and myself, and the Snooze Card put Madison's mom and her bodyguards to sleep. "I am so sorry that we both had to put your mother and her bodyguards to sleep Madison" Sakura said in a very apologetic tone of voice. "I guess you never know when you are going to need to use magic" Madison said in response, as she held her video camera on the both of us.

It was at this point that I decided to speak up about this "not while the house is still shaking, it is best that you stay here". Madison, obviously didn't take my statement too well, I mean how would you feel if you couldn't film your two best friends using their magic as CardCaptors? However, this didn't stop Madison from mounting a webcam on Kero's head, which not surprisingly caused both Sakura and I to sweatdrop. And with that all sorted, Sakura pulled out the Flight Card, and after we both nodded to each other, Sakura threw the Flight Card forward, and we both then swung our respective staffs forward towards it, "Flight!" we chanted in unison, as our staffs stopped inches from in front of the Flight Card. And with the wings of the Flight Card adorning our lower backs, we both took off into the air, down the hallway, up towards the skylight, out one of the windows of the skylight, and out and skyward into the open air. However, it was as Kero, Sakura and I were still flying skyward, that we wound up hearing the same sound from before coming from the house behind us. We turned ourselves back around, and something told us, that this, was only just the beginning.
