SCENE 1
Sakura, Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu, & Naoko sit outside the school for lunch. The doors to the school open, revealing Mei Lin dragging Li in tow.
Suddenly, a roaring is heard from down the street. A motorcycle passes, stopping outside the school gates. The riders guns the engine twice, cuts it, then hops off, his back facing the group.
The girls stare in awe as they notice the sailor collar on the back of the rider's school blouse. Strangely, instead of the skirt, navy pants envelop the rider's slim form.
SAKURA: Sugoi! I wonder who that is?
TOMOYO: I don't know, Sakura-chan, but I wonder if he can do tricks with his cycle. That'd make a great video.
CHIHARU: Wait! He can't be a he. SHE's wearing a girl's shirt.
NAOKO: But, he's wearing pants though.
Recognizing the rider instantly, Mei Lin groans as a flicker of anticipation brightens Li's eyes.
The rider removes his helmet. A long, chestnut braid falls out and Chiharu grins.
CHIHARU: Told you so!
The rider reaches behind the seat and pulls out a small case. Opening it, she removes a pair of blue, thin-framed glasses. Placing them over her sapphire eyes. She begins walking over to Mei Lin and Syaoran's direction.
Conversation w/ Sakura-gumi. Fei Lan mentions Li's letters about Sakura and the Clow.
FEI LAN (turns to him with a serious expression): Li-kun, I'm going to treat you to lunch. I need to discuss a few things with you.
MEI LIN (glowering): Well, he can't! He's has plans with me!
FEI LAN (annoyed): Sorry, Mei Lin, but this is more important than some simple dinner. (sternly) It concerns family business.
MEI LIN: I'm family!
FEI LAN: Fortunately, not yet! (turning to face Syaoran) Are you coming or not? Your friends can come as well if they like.
Li nods, eyes narrowing. (thinking) Her eyes. They're missing their usual sparkle. Has something happened that no one has told me about?
During lunch, they run into Touya and Yukito, from whom Fei gets a strange vibe. They ask them to join, but the boys decline.
Because Chiharu, Naoko, and Rika are there, Fei Lan decides not to mention her Clow troubles yet.
On the way home, Fei contemplates the strange feeling emitting from Yukito.

SCENE 2
School grounds, just after sunset.
|
A Zodiac card, the Leo, a flaming Lion, appears, drawn by the recent gathering of so much energy (by Sakura, Li, etc). Sakura, Kero, and Li feel the power of it at their respective homes.
SAKURA (calling Tomoyo on the cell): A Clow Card?!?
KERO (thoughtful): Hai. It is, but the power of it... It feels different.
Sakura, Tomoyo, Kero, and Li arrive at the same time. Sakura is wearing a purple leather bodice and skirt. Fishnet arm warmers cover her arms all the way to her elbow. Thin, silver chains dangle from them as well as the skirt. They barely touch the matching fishnet stockings draped around her legs. On her feet combat boots chime with their chains too. Kero is also wearing a matching leather biker vest and hat.
SAKURA: What kind of Clow Card is that?
FAMILIAR VOICE: It's a Zodiac Clow. (Fei Lan walks out into the open) It's one of several Constellation cards that I'm supposed to collect.
LI: Fei-chan, what's going on?
Before she could explain, Leo notices them and begins to attack.
BATTLE SCENE COMING EVENTUALLY!!
After the fight, Fei begins reciting what happened.
FLASHBACK -- This is in story form, NOT script form.
A feminine shadow is in a dusty library, looking at several books. In her hands she carries, three. As she reaches for another, she knocks off its neighbor. It falls to the ground, the rusty lock on the cover breaking.
As she reaches to pick it up, it begins to glow. She backs away as the book explodes, many of the cards disappearing through the roof.
The girl blinks, then sighs as she realizes what she has done. Gathering her abandoned books, she retreats from the room.
Overhead, the scattered cards spread like wild fire through the sky. Several land near a cave outside of Tokyo. Suddenly, red eyes appear at the cave entrance and a shadow, with the four cards, flies away.
