Card Captor Shukuen!

[Bean Bandit]

Shukuen was quite fortunate. He managed to emerge from the dizzying rush of speed...in bed.

The room he'd found himself in was not particularly ornate. Simple yellow walls, a bookcase, a TV and VCR and video game system were on the floors...as well as a desk, and the bed he was sprawled out on. The floors were hardwood, and there was a rug laid out next to the bed as well. He was under the covers of the bed, wearing a loose pink pair of pajamas with a white collar. Nearby, an orange teddy bear with wings and a long, lionesque tail lay on the pillow...

[Shukuen]

Shukuen sighed, again staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. Turning over carefully, and sparing a moment to enjoy the soft down mattress, he glanced at the walls and furniture decorating the room.

Simple and tasteful. At least it's better then staring at the infinite cosmos...

A familiar, lionlike plush passed Shukuen's vision, forcing all his thoughts thoughts to pause in shock.

"...kero-chan...?" Shukuen twitched, also noticing the light brown hair hanging before her eyes. Whimpering, she managed to maintain enough sense to pull her blankets over her head before anyone came in and notice Sakura's uncharacteristic glare.

Chaos will pay for this indignity... she thought darkly, hoping with all her might that this was only a dream.

[Bean Bandit]

Sakura could feel movement, ever so slight, on the pillow behind her. Suddenly, the movement stopped, and she felt the blanket being tugged off of her head.

The little lion-like plushie floated down to her eye level, smiling cheerfully. "Mornin', Sakura! You're up early."

[Shukuen]

Shukuen gulped internally, though tried to smile back at her miniature guardian. "Morning, Kero-chan."

She made sat up slowly, stretching before she adorned a confused expression. "Hoe, what day was it again?" she asked, searching for a calendar as well as surveying the room in greater detail.

[Bean Bandit]

Kero blinked. "Saturday." he supplied, eyeing Sakura. "You okay? Something seems...off..."

Sakura didn't note anything significant on closre scrutiny, save for a picture of a bird hung on one of the walls, above the desk, otherwise, the room was clean...

[Shukuen]

"Eh hehehe... what gives you that idea?" Shukuen laughed nervously, sweatdropping.

[Bean Bandit]

"Dunno." Keroberos replied, watching Sakura closely. "There's something different about your magic power today...Doesn't seem to be bad, though...just different..."

Finally, from the corner of her eye, Sakura spied a calendar over on the desk...

[Shukuen]

"Well... you could say I had a unique dream," Shukuen smiled as she slipped out of bed and checked the calendar on her desk.

[Bean Bandit]

Keroberos flew over and alighted on her head. "What kind of a dream?"

The calendar hat a small note on it about meeting Tomoyo in the park today, at noon.

[Shukuen]

"Something... bad is going to happen," Shukuen said enigmatically, heading to the closet to grab a change of clothing. She paused for a moment as a thought suddenly struck her.

Where is the closet? she hesitated, checking to see how many doors were in the room. Heck... where's the furo for that matter?

[Bean Bandit]

Fortunately, the closet was obvious, being the sliding door on the far wall, right near the desk. The other door was a normal, 'swing open' kind, and it was on the perpendicular wall.

"Bad? Like what? What was your dream about?" the little winged lion insisted.

[Shukuen]

"I'm not sure if you would believe me if I told you, Kero-chan."

Shukuen went to the closet to grab some new clothes before starting her search for the elusive bathroom

[Bean Bandit]

The little plushie folded his limbs stubbornly, floating alongside Sakura. "Try me."

Sakura opened the closet and found a fairly wide variety of clothing, from the usual expected of a little girl, to durable sports clothing, Almost all of it brightly colored in cheerful tones.

[Shukuen]

"What do you think of this?" Shukuen asked as she grabbed a pink, three layer skirt (the top layer was a glossy fabric that ended in frills, while the bottom two were fluffy silk). The top was simple, resembling a tee-shirt with a two-stripped collar. She held it up to Keroberus, waiting for his opinion.

"And I'll tell you later," she glanced around, as if on the look out for eavesdroppers. "In private."

[Bean Bandit]

Keroberos scratched his head with his paw. "Ain't that a little...I dunno...nice for goin' down to the park, Sakura?" he asked, puzzled. "Why you askin' me, anyhow? Hey, waitasec...we ARE in private!"
