The Second Generation
3



My
turn! It's me Makoto! Since Meeko got the last two summaries, it's
my turn to fill you in. Last time our
teacher really got on Meeko's case, which didn't suit well with me, so I
taught her a lesson. (Meeko: Taught
her a lesson? You twisted her
ankle!) Shut up it's my turn you even
said so now go away! Anyway, that
teacher had it coming, but if I'd known what the feeling Meeko was having about
her meant, I wouldn't have done it. The
day had to take a weird twist when dad and mom come racing into the
basement…carrying swords!!!! Meeko and
me tried to defend ourselves against them and that weird stuffed…thing that mom
carries around. Dad won out, so now we
find out a past we never new existed…



Makoto sat
down on the couch and helped his sister sit down next to him. He made sure she regained some of her
strength before turned his attention to his father and glaring at him.

Syaoran and
Sakura sat down across from them, Kero on her shoulder. Makoto narrowed his eyes at Syaoran. "Come to tell us more lies?" He said coldly.

"Now don't
use that tone with your father, Makoto."
Sakura scolded.

"Why not?
You've lied to use all these years."
Meeko stated.

"Now
wait. We didn't lie to you." Syaoran corrected. "We only didn't tell you about because you weren't old
enough." He looked once at Kero before
turned back to his twin children.

"Well,
we're old enough now. Tell us." Makoto said.

Meeko
nodded her agreement. "Yeah, tell us
about our powers."

Syaoran
sighed. Kero got mad and flew off of
Sakura's shoulder, into Makoto's face.
"Why don't you tell us about how you discovered your powers!" He demanded.

"I don't
talk to stuffed animals!" Makoto
replied.

"What? I dare you to say that again!" Kero challenged.

Meeko held
back Makoto's arm, while Sakura held back Kero's tail. "Kero, calm down." Sakura said.

Makoto
you too. Meeko told her brother.

Both Makoto
and Kero turned their heads and crossed their arms. Syaoran let himself a little smile, regarding the scene and
remembering how he used to treat Kero.
Though he still did, it was funny to see his son react the same way to
the sometimes-annoying guardian beast of the seal.

"How about
we start at the beginning?" Sakura
proposed. "When I was about your age, I
accidentally opened the Clow Book…"

"What's the
Clow Book?" Meeko asked.

Sakura
pointed to the large red and gold book under Meeko's arm. "That right there. When I did open it and called upon one of the cards inside,
Windy, and all the cards were released."

"So?"
Makoto said. "Just go around and
capture them again. Doesn't seem to
hard."

"It
wouldn't be if they didn't change into their other forms." Syaoran joined the discussion. "Each card has its own power. When they were released they weren't cards
anymore. Windy was wind and snow was
snow…"

"We get the
point." Makoto interrupted.

"I was in
Hong Kong when it happened." Syaoran
continued. "So I came to Japan to help
your mother capture them."

"We became
cardcaptors and started collected them all.
Which may sound easy, but it was more difficult then I could
imagine." Sakura explained. "It took us two years to capture them all,
afterwards I turned them into Sakura Cards with Eriol's help."

Meeko
frowned. "Eriol? You mean cousin Tomoyo's husband? Akiko's dad?"

It was
already known that Tomoyo had married Eriol, and now they had a beautiful
daughter, Akiko, who used to play with Meeko and Makoto, since they lived in
the same town. Tomoyo and Eriol lived
about two blocks down the street.

"Yes,
Eriol. He is also the reincarnated Clow
Reed, the creator of the cards." Sakura
told them. "See?" She took her card out of her pocket. They were pink and yellow, each with a
different name on them. They also had
Sakura's name on the bottom.

Meeko and
Makoto stared at the cards with wonder.
Almost like the ones from our dream!
Meeko observed.

Makoto
looked up. "What do the Clow Cards look
like?"

Syaoran put
a hand to his chin. "Well, they
resemble the book, they were also gold and red."

"Did they
have the symbol of the sun and moon on them?"
Meeko asked, but then caught her mistake but it was too late.

"How'd you
know that?" Syaoran asked.

Meeko
looked to Makoto, but he was looking mad for her slipping out their secret. She
looked down at the ground. "I don't
know. Just a guess."

Kero
snorted. "Yeah right, 'just a guess' my
furry behind!"

Meeko
glared at Kero. "It's none of your
business!"

Sakura
gently smiled and placed a hand on her daughter's. "Don't worry. You won't
get in trouble. But please tell us how
you know."

Meeko
looked once again to her brother, who waved his hand telling her to say what
she knew, since it was already too late.
She sighed. "I…I had a dream. There was a staff with a bird on it…and a
sword, like daddy's." She looked up at
her father, a look of surprise in his eyes, then back at the ground. "There's a giant animal, lion-like, that
protects us." Kero perked up at hearing
this.

Meeko
closed her eyes, wanting to forget the next part. Makoto felt her pain and whispered in her ear. "You know the rest don't you." It was more of a statement then a question. She nodded.


Makoto
rubbed her back, trying to calm her down, and decided to finish the dream for
her. "There's a dark shadow. She tries to get the Clow Book. We fight her, but we don't know all of our
powers. She uses some kind of spell and
the cards go everywhere. Then she…" He
choked, afraid himself of what might happen.
"She comes after us."

Sakura
looked worriedly over at her husband.
He was worried too. This was not
good. "You guys shared this one
dream?" They nodded. "Well, don't worry. We're going to teach you how to use your
powers. Whoever this is, she won't get
to you."

Meeko
looked up with tears on her cheeks and her eyes. "Promise?"

Syaoran
smiled gently at his daughter.
"Promise."

She smiled
and ran into his arms. He hugged her
back. Makoto just sat there, trying to
take it all in. "Do you have any
proof?"

Sakura
smirked. "I don't." She looked over at Syaoran. "But your cousin Tomoyo does. I'd say it's time for a visit." Syaoran groaned.



The three
children sat in front of the T.V. and watched as Tomoyo put in one of her many
videos into the V.C.R. She smiled at
her daughter, Meeko and Makoto. "Now
just sit and watch these videos, and then tell me if you don't believe what
your parents are telling you." She
turned and walked out of the room.

Akiko
smiled and looked at her best friends.
She was small for ten, but her purple eyes gave her a mature look. She had inherited Eriol's blue hair, which
was long and pulled back into a braid which came down to her waist. "So, are you guys excited?"

Makoto
raised an eyebrow, and Meeko groaned.
"Excited is not the word I'd choose to describe this."

Akiko
frowned. "Well, you guys just found out
you have magical powers. Isn't that
cool?"

Makoto
looked at her. "Not when some one is
after you for it."

That
silenced Akiko. The video started and
together they watched the adventures of Cardcaptors Sakura and Syaoran that
Tomoyo had been able to record.



Out side
the room, the parents sat around a table, drinking tea, discussing the latest
events. Kero was sitting in the middle
of the table, stuffing his face with cookies.
"So, they know about their powers?"
Eriol asked, sitting next to his wife, Tomoyo.

Syaoran
nodded. "They also know how to use
them, somewhat, but not very well. Have
you told Akiko?" Eriol shook his head. True, Tomoyo and Eriol had not told Akiko
about her own powers, they were going to wait, though with Meeko and Makoto
knowing, they knew their time was up.

Tomoyo
frowned. "Have they found the Clow
Book?"

Sakura
nodded. "They were about to open it,
but Kero stopped them. That's when all
the trouble started. They seemed to
have had a dream about the Clow Cards."

Eriol
straightened. "What kind of dream?"

"They see
the Clow Cards, the sealing wand, and my sword. They also see Kero's full form.
Why…I'm not sure. But then the
dream takes a twist." Syaoran explains.

"They have
an unknown enemy. One that wants the
Clow Cards." Sakura said.

Tomoyo was
confused. "But aren't the Clow Cards,
Sakura Cards now?"

Eriol shook
his head. "That's true, but that
doesn't mean the Clow Book is empty."

Syaoran
frowned. "What does that mean?"

Eriol took
a sip of tea before answering. "There's
a written prophecy that states 'There will be a time when children will take
their parents place, using the weapons of the past. They will learn and train with the Clow Book's contents, to
defeat their darkest foe'. That might
mean there is something in the book now that might help us."

Sakura bit
her lip and look towards the room where the children were watching the
films. "I'm going to go and find
out." She got up and the other three
adults followed her.



Meeko and
Makoto's eyes went wide as they watched the very same mother that they had seen
make breakfast, send them off to school, and tuck them in bed, jumping
buildings, flying on her wand, dodging lightning bolts, and fighting a thunder
beast! Their dad was there too, but he
seemed darker than he was now. He told
their mom to use the Shadow Card to capture Thunder, which made little sense to
the fourth graders. Right when the
ten-year-old Syaoran released his lightning attack, the door opened,
frightening the children, making them scream.

"Whoa, it's
only us." Syaoran assured.

Akiko
jumped up and ran to her mother. "That
was the coolest footage mom!"

Tomoyo
smiled at the compliment. "Well, it's
not my best work, but it was a great capture."

Meeko got
up, along with Makoto, and walked to their parents. "Okay, we believe you."
Makoto said gruffly. "But what
we were wondering was…"

"Could you
teach us that stuff?" Meeko finished
excitedly.

Makoto
glared at her, but she just stuck her tongue out at him. "Don't act like you weren't gonna say the
same thing, because you were the one who said it first before!" Makoto pouted, but did not deny the
accusations.

Syaoran let
out a laugh. "Well, you'll learn in due
time."

Meeko
jumped up and down, and Akiko joined in.
"Mommy, can I record them with the new video camera you got me?" She asked her mother.

Tomoyo
nodded. "I already made some matching
starting costumes for them, just until you can make them yourself." Sakura and Syaoran both looked at her in
astonishment. "Well, I knew they'd find
out sooner or later." Sakura sweat
dropped.

Eriol came
up to Syaoran and whispered. "History
repeats itself, ne?"

Syaoran
groaned.

Then Meeko
remembered. She brought out the Clow
Book, which she'd been holding onto.
"Can I open it now?"

Sakura was
hesitant. "Well…" She was cut off by
the room's large window crashing open, and the room instantly filled with wind.

Sakura took
out her wand, while Syaoran brought out his sword. The adults made a barrier in front of the children, which were
cowering behind them. Kero was about to
transform, but thought better of it and floated above Sakura's head, facing the
enemy. Makoto stood in front of the
girls, trying to be brave, like his father, but was still shaking with fear.

Through the
window, came a dark figure, wearing a robe that hid her face.

Meeko's
eyes went wide. "That her! The women from my dream!!"

Syaoran
narrowed his eyes. "Who are you and
what do you want!"

Eriol stood
besides Syaoran, while holding Tomoyo's hand, to keep her calm.

"I want the
Clow…" She pointed and Meeko felt the Book being pulled from her grasp.

"No!!!!" She held onto it tight, not letting this
person get what she felt was hers. She
added in some of her power, and felt Makoto grab it and add in some of his.

The woman
was not happy and tried harder to get the book. The adults tried to help, but found they were frozen in their
places, unable to help their children.

With all
the power that Meeko and Makoto were using to hold onto the book, the seal was
unlocked…

Suddenly,
the book flew open and inside were the Clow Cards! Just like the previous set!
The adults gasped at the sight.
How was that possible? The wind
in the room increased and the cards were clown out of the book all over the
room. The woman tried to catch them and
in the process, let go of the adults and Clow Book. Syaoran acted fast. He
threw his sword forward, not needing to use the incantation anymore, and released
his lightning attack, though stronger than before.

The woman
screamed and was blown out of the window.
Her powers gone from the room, Meeko and Makoto collapsed.

Sakura and
Tomoyo tended to the children, while the men ran to the window to see the woman,
but she was gone…and so were the cards.
"Did she get them?"

Eriol shook
his head. "They've been released."

A sense of
dread crossed Syaoran's face as he turned and went back to Sakura's side. Meeko was crying and Makoto was a little
shaken up. Akiko was crying in her
mother's arms.

Meeko
clutched Sakura tightly. "M…mom…I'm so
sor…sorry." She sobbed.

"Shhh. It's okay."
Sakura assured her. "We'll get
them back. You did a good thing
tonight. You made sure that evil woman
didn't get them."

Syaoran
went over and helped Makoto to his feet.
"That was a brave thing you did, son.
Protecting the girls like that.
I'm very proud of you." Makoto
said nothing, only nodded.



Meeko sat
on the rooftop of Tomoyo's mansion.
Tomoyo had invited Sakura's family to stay the night, and Sakura
accepted. They were all having ice
cream inside the house, but Meeko didn't feel like having anything right
now. She just wanted to sit outside,
watching the stars.

She looked
up and sighed. "Why did this have to
happen?" She asked.

"Because
its destiny." A voice said.

Meeko
turned around and found her mother walking over to her. "How'd you get up here?"

Sakura
smiled and sat next to her daughter.
"You're not the only one with magical powers." She winked, and Meeko smiled.

"I just
don't see why I was chosen to capture the cards, or have magical powers. How knows if I'm up to the test?" Meeko asked.

Sakura
looked up. "You don't. When I opened the book, and lost all the
cards, I made a promise with Kero that I would capture all of them. Sometimes I wasn't sure if I could, but I
never gave up."

Meeko
looked at her mother in a new light.
She always though her mother had it easy, now she saw how wrong she
was. "Will we find them all?"

"We have
to. We can't let anyone else get their
hands on them." Sakura replied.

Meeko
nodded and looked up at the stars. "Now
then." Sakura said. "Why don't we go inside and have some ice
cream? There's still some chocolate
left."

Meeko
smiled and Sakura took her hand and led her off the rooftop. Meeko tool one last look at the stars and
saw a shooting star. She closed her
eyes. May I live up to my parent's
expectations and bring in the Cards of Clow.
Then she went back inside.

Little did
she know, but that star stopped its stellar trip in midair, and twinkled. Another wish might be granted.
