* Translator's note: I prefer "Kerberos" instead of "Cerberus" even though
the latter is the "official" CLAMP English name for "keruberosu" even
though the former makes more sense as the contraction for "Kero."

Title: Sakura's Wonderful Friend

Kero: Sakura!
Kero: Sakura!

Sakura: I can't eat anymore...

Kero: Who's the one who set the alarm to 7 o'clock?
Kero: Didn't you have to get up early?

Sakura: Um...?  Osaka dialect?
Sakura: Nobody in this house speaks the Osaka dialect...
Sakura: TV... isn't on.

Kero: You're still half asleep!
Kero: Here!  Pull yourself together!

Sakura: That's right!  The Clow Cards' keeper!

Kero: You're awake at last.
Kero: I'm Beast of the Seal, Kerberos.

Sakura: That's right.
Sakura: Inside the book I found in the basement of the house,
Sakura: even though I didn't quite get it, there were magic cards 
called 'Clow Cards,'

Sakura: and I scattered them all,
Sakura: so this Kerberos asked me to gather back the cards.

Kero: Oh, such a nice morning, Card Captor Sakura.

Sakura: I told you, there's no way I'm the Card Captor!

Kero: You're so humble.
Kero: Look!
Kero: You nicely returned this card Fly here, didn't ya?
Kero: Look!  Look!

Sakura: But it was some bitter experience!

Touya: It's breakfast!

Sakura: Okay!
Sakura: G'morning, Touya.

Touya: I only called you once and you came down already.
Touya: I wonder if it rains today...

Sakura: Someone woke me up today!

Touya: Monster.

Kero: Welcome back.

Sakura: Here, a treat for you.

Kero: Yay!

Sakura: So I'm leaving now.

Kero: Kids these days are so busy.

Sakura: Since Touya and Father will be at school,

Sakura: it's okay if you turn on the TV in the room in a little bit.

Kero: Your Father's still a student?

Sakura: He's a professor in the university.
Sakura: If anyone's in the house, you can't leave this room, okay?
Sakura: You'll scare everybody.

Kero: 'Kay.

Sakura: Oh no!  It's this late already!
Sakura: Gotta go!
Sakura: I'm leaving!
Sakura: I'll make a detour.
Sakura: I end up at Yukito's house.

Yukito: What is it?

Sakura: Yo...You're here?

Yukito: G'morning, Sakura.

Sakura: Good morning!

Yukito: You're early, aren't you?

Sakura: I have cleaning duty.

Yukito: That's admirable.
Yukito: Oh, that's right!
Yukito: Decorate your classroom?

Sakura: Is this okay?

Yukito: Yeah.

Sakura: Thank you very much.

Yukito: Be careful as you leave.

Sakura: Thank you very much!
Sakura: I'm leaving!
Sakura: Today'll be great.
Sakura: Yay!  I'm the first one!

Tomoyo: You are early, Sakura.

Sakura: G'morning!  You're early.

Tomoyo: Good morning.

Sakura: Tomoyo, are you on duty for something too?

Tomoyo: That is not true.
Tomoyo: I have something that I would like you to see, Sakura.

Sakura: Video?

Tomoyo: I took something really interesting last night.

Sakura: What's that... just now?
Sakura: This is the close up.

Kero: What's wrong, Sakura?
Kero: Clow Card?  Where? Face me and bring it on!
Kero: And...?

Tomoyo: My!  Exactly it!

Kero: That felt awful.

Sakura: Why did you come along?

Kero: Well, to personally experience the Card Captor's daily life.

Tomoyo: If you do not mind, could you introduce us?

Sakura: He said his name is Kerberos.

Tomoyo: He gives me a different impression than his name does.

Sakura: More like a 'Kero,' doesn't he?

Tomoyo: That is exactly right!

Kero: Don't call me like I'm a frog!
[Note: "Kerokero" in Japanese is the croaking sound of a frog.]
Kero: I'm Kerberos, Beast of the Seal who guards the Clow Cards.

Tomoyo: Clow Cards?

Boy: Here I come!
Boy: Over there, hey!

Kero: In other words, Sakura became the Card Captor Sakura.

Tomoyo: That is amazing!
Tomoyo: The Card Captor who protects the town from the disaster of the 
Clow Cards!
Tomoyo: That is so cool!

Sakura: There's no way I can do such a difficult thing.

Tomoyo: That is not true!  If anyone can do it, it is you!
Tomoyo: If you do not mind, is it possible for you show me your magic?

Kero: No problem!  No problem!  Do it!

Sakura: But...

Kero: Don't worry!  Don't worry, no one's gonna see it!
Kero: Do a quick one!

Sakura: O Key which hides the forces of darkness,
Sakura: reveal thy true form before me.
Sakura: I, Sakura, command thee under contract.
Sakura: Release!

Tomoyo: You can use magic with this wand, right?

Sakura: Not unless with the cards.

Kero: This?

Sakura: Be...Before I knew it...

Tomoyo: So do you not have a signature pose?

Sakura: Wh...What?

Tomoyo: Signature pose and spells are a must for magical girls!

Kids: Bye-bye!
Kids: Bye-bye!
Kids: Bye!
Kids: Let's walk home together!
Kids: Sure!

Sakura: What's wrong?

Chiharu: Oh, Sakura!

Rika: Look!

Sakura: Wh...What is this?

Girl: I don't know.  It was already like this when I got here this 
morning.
Girl: I wonder who played such a joke.

Naoko: But anyway, we're the ones who must clean this up.

Tomoyo: Oh my!

Sakura: G'morning, Tomoyo.

Tomoyo: Good morning.
Tomoyo: It looks like a terrible situation.
Tomoyo: To be able to do such a thing...
Tomoyo: Could it happen to be the act of a Clow Card too?

Kero: It's the act of a Clow Card.

Tomoyo: Just as I thought!

Sakura: That's why it was so difficult to clean up.

Tomoyo: But thanks to that, class could not go on.

Sakura: I... I was glad about that too, but...
Sakura: But which Clow Card is it that's messing around at school?

Kero: Um... I dunno.
Kero: In the meantime, Sakura, it's Card Captor's turn!

Sakura: Wh...Why?

Kero: If it's the act of a Clow Card, it's gotta be captured, right?

Sakura: I said I can't do it!

Kero: Who was the one who blew away the cards?

Kero: Okay, we'll go to the school tonight right away!

Sakura: What?!
Sakura: Tonight?
Sakura: We can't do it at night!

Kero: Why not?

Sakura: Because the school at night...
Sakura: Whoaaa!
Sakura: No way!  No way!  No way! No way at all!

Kero: But some cards don't become active if it's not at night.

Tomoyo: Surely, the school at night might be dangerous.

Sakura: Tomoyo!

Tomoyo: That is why, I will come along too!
Tomoyo: By all means, I must capture all your heroic moments on video!

Sakura: Wh...Why?!

Tomoyo: Because that is my hobby.

Kero: All right!  A surprise attack from the three of us tonight!

Tomoyo: If it is so decided,
Tomoyo: we must hurry with the completion of more signature poses.

Kero: Okay!  It's special trainin' from now on!

Sakura: What?!
Sakura: Th...This is scary!

Kero: It's okay!  It's okay!  I'm comin' along.

Sakura: I don't think it's okay...

Tomoyo: Did I keep you waiting?

Sakura: No, I just got here.

Tomoyo: Let me introduce to you. These are my bodyguards.

Woman: Miss, later then.

Tomoyo: Okay.  Please come pick me up when I call.

Sakura: That's so cool!
Sakura: There aren't many grade- schooler with bodyguards!

Tomoyo: Oh?  Grade-schoolers who can use magic are even rarer.

Sakura: You may be right...

Tomoyo: More than that, come this way for a second!

Sakura: Wha...What's this?

Tomoyo: Now, let's get changed.

Sakura: Wh...Why?!

Tomoyo: You are going to capture Clow Cards now, right?

Sakura: Yeah...

Tomoyo: You must wear something special when doing something special.

Kero: That's right!
Kero: If you don't challenge in a fittin' way as the Card Captor,
Kero: you might lose spirit to the card.

Tomoyo: I am glad that you understand me!

Kero: Now then, Sakura, get changed!

Tomoyo: There are hats too.
Tomoyo: Now, now, go in!
Tomoyo: This is lovely, Sakura!

Sakura: I'm so embarrassed!

Kero: There's nothin' to be embarrassed about!

Tomoyo: Oh, that is right.  I have something for Kero too!

Kero: Oh, for me too?

Tomoyo: You look cute matching Sakura!

Kero: Is... Is that right?

Sakura: They aren't nervous at all...
Sakura: Wh...What's that sound just now?

Kero: What's wrong?
Kero: I sense a Clow Card.
Kero: Calm down!

Sakura: Bu...But...  But...!
Sakura: It's... It's floating!  It's floating!

Tomoyo: Sakura!
Tomoyo: Over there!
Tomoyo: No one is there, but the shadow...

Sakura: Shadow?

Tomoyo: Watch out!

Sakura: Kero!  Is that a Clow Card?

Kero: That's...
Kero: ...the act of the card, Shadow !

Sakura: Kero, stay with Tomoyo!

Kero: Leave it to me!

Sakura: O Key which hides the forces of darkness,
Sakura: reveal thy true form before me.
Sakura: I, Sakura, command thee under contract.
Sakura: Release!

Tomoyo: This is lovely!

Sakura: O Wind, become a chain of admonition.
Sakura:  Windy !

Kero: Use the card, Fly , and run away for the time bein'!

Sakura:  Fly !

Kero: It seems Shadow has gathered the shadows of all the students in 
school.
Kero: That's impossible for Sakura to face this many opponents!

Tomoyo: Could there not be some ways to do it?

Kero: The students' shadows would disappear if they're exposed to 
light.
Kero: After that, there's only the true form of Shadow ,
Kero: and we can restrain it with magic.
Kero: But it's night time right now...

Tomoyo: If that is the case, please leave it to me.

Kero: Huh?

Sakura: That's why I said I can't do it!
Sakura: What should I do...
Sakura: Hey!  Let go!
Sakura: Help!
Sakura: The shadows are gone?

Kero: Sakura!

Sakura: The shadows disappeared!

Kero: Except for its true form, all shadows disappear when they're 
exposed to light.

Tomoyo: Although it is impossible to call out the sun,
Tomoyo: I can make use of the electricity.

Sakura: Thanks, Tomoyo.

Kero: Sakura!  That's the true form!

Sakura: All right!

Tomoyo: Now is the time, Sakura!

Kero: Show us the result of your special trainin'!

Sakura: O Wind, become a chain of admonition.
Sakura:  Windy !
Sakura: Return to thy form which thou should be! Clow Card!

Kero: You did it!
Kero: You're truly the Card Captor Sakura!

Tomoyo: That is splendid!

Sakura: Hey, Chiharu, did you see Tomoyo?

Chiharu: I saw her going into the audio-visual room.

Sakura: Thanks!

Sign: AUDIO-VISUAL ROOM

Tomoyo: I am so glad that I took it so beautifully!

Sakura: You... You took it even at a moment like this?

Tomoyo: Of course!  I could not let even one second of your heroic 
moments escape!
Tomoyo: When you go capture cards from now on, please be sure to call 
me!
Tomoyo: I cannot leave the Card Captor's action behind!
