Chapter 1: Bad Moon Rising A shadow fell over Luna's moon instantly rousing the alicorn from her nightly routine. "A great evil approaches, I must warn my sister." "I don't believe you'll be telling anypony anything princess." A sinister voice says. =============== "Sister, it's time for you to lower the moon." Celestia says as she bangs one of her front hooves on the door. After a pause she knocks again. "Luna?" She asks hesitantly. Once again not getting a response she carefully opens the door. "Are you in here?" She asks then sees Luna apparently asleep on her bed. "That is strange." Celestia says more to herself than aloud. She walks over to the bed and nudges Luna. "Awaken sister." ================== Meanwhile in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle stands at the window of her magical castle starring at the horizon. "That's odd." "What is?" Spike asks. "The sunrise is late today." Twilight muses. "I hope everything is okay." "Should we write a letter and check?" Spike asks concerned. "Wonderful idea!" Twilight says as she sets herself about the task. "Wait, I think I have one coming." Spike says right before he burps up a scroll. Twilight immediately grabs the scroll in her magic and unrolls it. "Spike I have to the go Canterlot immediately." With that she teleports away dropping the scroll as she does. Spike walks over to the scroll and picks it up. "What could possibly be so important?" He asks as he reads the scroll turning pale as he does. ================== Twilight arrives in Canterlot in a flash of purple light. She immediately checks her surroundings to see if she landed where she planned. "At least I was successful, now to find Princess Celestia." She quickly sets off toward Princess Luna's room and enters it. "Princess Celestia?" "Twilight Sparkle, I'm glad you came so quickly." Celestia says. "Your message sounded urgent, and you haven't raised the sun yet so I was concerned." Celestia looks at Twilight then races to the nearest window, quickly taking control of the moon and lowering it, then raising the sun. "Thank you, Twilight." Celestia says as she comes back to her sister's bed. "I can take care of the sun and moon for a while, but we need to find out what happened to Luna." Twilight nods. “We should discreetly contact a doctor, in the mean time I’ll read over medical journals looking for clues.” Celestia nods. “Thank you my faithful student.” ==================== “So you thought you could just get rid of me?” Nightmare Moon asks as she walks around the cage that Luna is in. “Nightmare Moon?” Luna asks shocked. “How is this possible? You and I are the same pony!” “I was lost in the dream realm after your precious elements separated me from you.” “This is the dream realm then.” Luna says as she tries to command the world to change. “Don’t bother, I know how your powers work, and I’ve shielded this castle from them.” “How did you get me here?” “It’s not easy but I can inhabit anypony’s body I want, I simply took a royal guard and knocked you unconscious. Your unconscious mind was easy to move here.” “Why are you doing this?” “Isn’t obvious?” Nightmare Moon asks. “I’m going to take back over your body so I can rule Equestria!” Luna slumped in defeat knowing that she couldn’t get out of the cage herself. She reached out with the last tendrils of her power and sent out a message using the power of the moon. > Chapter 2: Help! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I don’t own MLP or Cardcaptor Sakura, or any of the characters therein. Chapter 2: Help! Yukito was sleeping uneasily next to his life-mate Toya. They both knew of Yukito’s other form, Yue, the judge, and his connection to Toya’s sister Sakura. Yukito suddenly awakens and steps out of bed. “Yuki?” Toya asks groggily as the other man gets out of bed only to see his lover transform into Yue and disappear. Toya sighs and throws on some clothes. “So much for getting any more sleep.” =============== A pounding at their door rouses the the recently hand-fasted Sakura and Syaoran. “Give me a minute!” Sakura yells as she wraps herself in a kimoto and walks to the door only to see Yue standing there. “Yue, what’s the matter?” “Mistress, forgive me for waking you, but we urgently need to talk.” Yue says. Sakura nods. “Please give us a few minutes to get dressed and we will come to the kitchen.” “Very well.” Yue says and walks away. Sakura closes the door. “Syaoran?” “Already getting dressed.”Syaoran answers. Sakura walks into the dressing room and sees her husband putting on his green fighting clothes. “If Yue needs us we should be ready for a fight.” Sakura nods and looks over her clothes before she sees a garment bag she doesn’t recognize. She opens it up to find a pink version of Syaoran’s clothes. “Syaoran, is this your doing?” Syaoran looks at the outfit in her hand. “That’s obviously Tomoyo’s doing, look at the symbol.” Sakura looked an instead of the family crest that Syaoran wears her outfit has a star, exactly like the one on the back of her Sakura cards. “I suppose it’s not as bad as some of the outfits she’s made for me.” She says as she changes into it. Next she grabs the star wand necklace and puts it on, then slips the Sakura cards in the hidden pocket of the outfit. The two of them go downstairs only to find Yukito and Toya eating. “Eat, I made plenty.” Toya says indicating a couple of plates. “Then you three can talk.” Sakura and Syaoran sit and eat, after they finish eating and they all step into the kitchen Yukito changes back into Yue. “What’s going on?” Sakura asks. “I have received an urgent plea for help from another world.” Yue answers. “What do you mean another world?” Sakura asks. “Clow Reed discovered there are many other worlds out there right beside ours, you might call them parallel dimensions. Whomever is in trouble in this other world can call upon the power of the moon. It’s through the power of the moon that I heard her message.” “What’s this have to do with us?” Syaoran asks. ‘"It’s not like we can travel to the moon.” “No, but with Keroberus help I can open up a gateway to the world that the call came from.” Yue answers. “I want you two to go through the gateway and help. Then when you two are finished we can reopen the gate from this side. Me and Keroberus will have to wait on this side for you.” “But don’t you need my magic to use yours?” Sakura asks. “You’ve given me ample magic to use my powers for awhile, as long as you aren’t gone longer than a lunar cycle I can open the gateway with little problem. I will conserve energy by remaining in my mundane form as much as possible too.” “We should grab some clothes and such and go.” Sakura says. Syaoran nods. “I agree.” They go back up to their room and pack up some stuff. “Sakura, are we sure this is a good idea? Yue doesn’t know anything about this other world.” “Someone’s in danger and we have the power to help them, what good are our powers for if we can’t help people Syaoran?” Syaoran nods, obviously a bit reluctant. “Fine let’s go.” They leave their room only to run into Tomoyo who is as usual holding her video camera. “Hey you two, enjoying your honeymoon?” Tomoyo asks. “Tomoyo, we’re hand-fasted.” Sakura says. “So we don’t really get a honeymoon.” “You two are sharing a room, pretty much the same thing, right?” Tomoyo asks and the couple blushes heavily. “In fact from the looks of it you two are going away for a couple days.” “Someone in another world needs our help Tomoyo, we’re going to go help them.” Sakura states. “Is that why you’re wearing the newest outfit I made for you?” Tomoyo asks. “Yes, we strongly suspect that we will need to fight where we are going.” “Can I come and videotape the whole thing?” Tomoyo asks. “I love watching Sakura-chan use her magic,” “Yue and Kero have to open up a gateway for us to go through, I doubt that their magic is strong enough to let you pass too Tomoyo.” Syaoran says. “Sorry, Tomoyo-chan.” Sakura says hanging her head slightly. “I understand.” Tomoyo says sadly. “We should go.” Syaoran says and all three of them leave the apartment and go to the park where they meet Kero and Yue. “We are ready to open the gateway.” Yue says as Kero changes into his true form. “Any chance I could go with them?” Tomoyo asks hopefully. “You can try and follow through after them, but I make no guarantee what would happen to you, you may not make it through. Sakura and Syaoran’s magic and their bond is what’s going to pull them through the gateway. Tomoyo nods in understanding. “I will just wait then, it’s safer.” Shaoran takes the video recorder from Tomoyo. “I’ll tape what I can, no promises." Tomoyo smiles slightly. “Thank you.” “We’re ready when you are.” Sakura says. Yue nods and places his hand on Kero’s head. The two close their eyes for a minute and suddenly a doorway appears. “It is ready, go!” “We’ll hurry back.” Sakura says as she and Syaoran step through the doorway and into the dimensional rift. > Chapter 3: Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I don’t own MLP or Cardcaptor Sakura, or any of the characters therein. Chapter 3: Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Sakura and Syaoran appear in the outer fields of Sweet Apple Acres and look around. "Well on the bright side I don’t think anyone saw us arrive.” Sakura says. Syaoran nods. ”Looks like we landed in some sort of orchard.” Sakura looks at the camera in his hands. “I can’t believe you brought that thing.” “What?” Syaoran asks. “I figured it’d make her happy to think I was going to record something with it.” He opens up his bag and goes to put it in there. “Wait!” Sakura says and Syaoran looks at her. “I have an idea.” Sakura removes the star key from her neck and chants. “Key of the Star with powers burning bright, reveal the staff and shine your light! Release!” Sakura chants and the necklace changes into the star wand. “You’ve got to be kidding me?” Syaoran asks. Sakura pulls out 3 cards from her outfit. “MOVE! Make this camera follow us. THROUGH! Allow this camera to go through objects! ILLUSION! Make the camera invisible. MOVE, THROUGH, and ILLUSION! Release!” The magic of the three cards envelope the camera and it vanishes. The three cards return to her. She reaches up and her hand vanishes for a second. “There, now it will record everything.” “Brilliant.” Syaoran says. “So now what?” “I think I see a house over there." Sakura points and the two of them head toward the building. As they get closer they hear voices. “Hope I'm not causing any problems." a female voice says. “But I was doing some research and felt a massive magic spike." "It's alright Twilight.” another female with a country twang says. “I needed a break anyway.” “Tsumari, eigo no yō ni kikoeta” [That sounded like English.] Sakura says and she and Syaoran quietly approach the voices only to see two ponies, one orange and one purple. “Hitobito ga doko ni iru nodarou ka” [I wonder where the people are?] Sakura whispers. At this point the purple pony turns toward them. Sakura gasps, “Yunikōn” [a unicorn.] “Applejack did you hear something?” the purple unicorn asks. “I think I heard something over there.” the orange pony, obviously Applejack, answers with a country twang leading Sakura to conclude that the unicorn must be Twilight. Applejack raises one hoof and points in their direction. “Come on, I know you’re in there!” Twilight says her horn glowing purple. Sakura and Syaoran look at each other, then remember that they are technically trespassing they come out with their hands up, Sakura still holding her wand “We mean you no harm.” Syaoran says with a heavy chinese accent. “What in tarnation are they?” Applejack asks. Twilight sighs. “Humans.” The magic of her horn dissipates. “My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle.” “I am Syaoran, this is my wife Sakura.” Syaoran says slowly. Twilight looks at him. “Are you having a hard time with our language?” Syaoran nods, “Still not all that good in this language.” He turns to Sakura, “Anata no mahō ga watashitachi o tasukeru tame ni nanika o suru koto ga dekiru to omoimasu” [Do you think your magic can do something to help us?] Sakura ponders for a minute. “Koe?” [Voice?] “Tameshite miru kachi.” [Worth a try.] He replies with a shrug. Sakura pulls a card from her clothes. “VOICE! Gengo ga onajidenakereba dete miyou! VOICE release! ” [Voice! Let our languages be the same! Voice, release!] With the final words she touches the star wand to the card and the card turns into a young pink colored girl with long wavy hair and feather-like ears and arms like wings she flies around Sakura and Syaoran then Twilight and Applejack. “How interesting.” Twilight says as Voice goes back to Sakura and Syaoran and the two of them glow. “Did it work?” Sakura asks without the hint of an accent. “I can understand you perfectly.” Twilight says. “Good,” Sakura grins as Voice returns to card form and the wand returns to it’s normal size. "How did you do that?” Twilight asks. “Honestly?” Sakura asks and Twilight nods. “Magic.” “I am a high level magic user, and I have never seen magic like that.” Twilight says as she moves toward them and Sakura sees her wings. “You have wings too?" "Why yes I'm an alicorn princess." Twilight says. “Did you miss that when I introduced myself?” Syaoran blushes slight. “I fear I misunderstood what you said.” Sakura and Syaoran quickly bow then in unison. "Please forgive us your highness. “ Twilight looks at the two of them bowing. “Um, exactly what am I supposed to do now?” Sakura blushes "I suppose your customs are a little different than ours huh?" "How would a pony bow?" Syaoran asks. “They have 4 legs." "Oh like this.” Twilight says then bows. “Let’s not bow to each other." Sakura suggests. “Otherwise me and Syaoran would be on the ground." Twilight chuckles slightly. “Now let’s get down to business. How did you two get here?" "Through a gateway opened up by Yue and Kero-chan." Sakura answers. “Yue said that someone in this world sent a distress signal with the power of the moon.“ Twilight gasps, “Luna! We have to get you to Canterlot!” “Canterlot?” Sakura asks. “The capital of Equestria, you're currently in Ponyville.“ Twilight answers. Syaoran chuckles, “Is everything in this world a horse pun?" Twilight blushes slightly, “Not everything. Just the majority of our cities." "I see.” Syaoran says. “Come on let's get on the train, we can talk on the way.“ Twilight suggests. “You reckon I should get the others?” Applejack asks. “Might be a good idea. I need to try and get these two to the train station without causing a complete commotion.” Twilight answers. “I take it you don't have many humans here?” Sakura asks. “As far as I'm aware there are no other humans in Equestria.“ "If you don't have humans here how do you know what we are?” “I was a human for a few days.“ Twilight answers, "I will tell you the whole story later.” Sakura pulls a card from her clothes and already holding her staff in her other hand chants. “ILLUSION! Make the two of us appear as ponies! ILLUSION release!" The magic surrounds them with a bright light, and when it fades Sakura and Syaoran appear as ponies. Sakura a pink unicorn with a brown mane and the star wand as her cutie mark. Syaoran as a green unicorn with a short brown mane and his family crest as his cutie mark. “You…. you just turned into ponies?” Twilight looks completely shocked. “No, just our outward appearance changed.” Sakura answers. “I hope we aren’t here long enough to need to CHANGE into ponies.” “You could do that?” Twilight asks. “Of course, but I’d have to wait until the next day to CHANGE us back.” Sakura answers. “That’s just amazing.” Twilight says as they start walking toward the train station. Sakura and Syaoran look around as they walk. “Nice little town you have here.” Sakura says. Twilight smiles. “Thank you, we endeavour to make it as hospitable as possible. If you want to you are welcome to stay here as long as you want.” “Oh Syaoran, do you think we could stay for a while?” Sakura asks as she looks at him with big eyes. Twilight chuckles. “And you haven’t even met the crusaders yet.” “Crusaders?” Sakura asks. “A group of fillies in search of their cutie marks.” “What’s a cutie mark?” “The marks on our flanks.” Twilight answers. “Mine represents my talent with magic.” Sakura and Syaoran both look at their flanks. “I suppose ILLUSION knew we would need them.” Syaoran says. Sakura nods and they continue on their way when a pink blur zips past them and up to Twilight. “Twilight who are the new ponies?” a bouncing pink pony asks. “These ponies have business with the Princesses in Canterlot, I’m going to escort them there, I was hoping you girls would come with me.” “Oh, oh , oh. So you were coming to get me?” “Applejack was suppose to get all of you. I was heading to the train station.” “Okie dokie lokie.” the pink pony says then turns to Sakura and Syaoran. “I’m Pinkie Pie, Ponyville’s premier party planner and element of laughter.” “I’m Syaoran, and this is my wife Sakura.” Pinkie giggles, “Your names are funny.” “Pinkie, be nice, they’ve traveled a long way to be here.” “Oh where are you from?” Pinkie asks. Sakura hesitates then says. “Kyoato.” Pinkie gaps. “I’ve got to throw you a big party. Bigger than big,” “Pinkie, they have business to attend to first.” Twilight states. “Then if they can stay you can throw them a party.” Pinkie nods and the four of them continue to the train and quickly board. “Hey Twilight.” Applejack says as she comes up with 3 other ponies. A white unicorn, a yellow pegasus and a blue pegasus. “Alright everypony,” Twilight says. “This is Sakura and Syaoran. This is Rainbow Dash.” the blue pegasus takes to the air. “Fluttershy.” the yellow pegasus waves a forehoof meekly, “and Rarity.” “Um, hi?” Sakura says. > Chapter 4: It's A Kind of Magic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I don’t own MLP or Cardcaptor Sakura, or any of the characters therein. Chapter 4: It's A Kind of Magic The train pulls up to the Canterlot station and the Elements of Harmony along with Sakura and Syaoran get off. “So this is your capital city?” Sakura asks. “It certainly is.” Twilight answers. “Very nice.” Sakura says. “Come on, let’s get to the castle.” Twilight says and the group heads toward the castle. They arrive at the castle and one of a pair of guards speaks up. “Princess Twilight Sparkle, we were not told to expect you.” “I have urgent business with Luna and Celestia.“ "You may pass, but the others must wait here." "My business involves these other ponies, six of us are the elements of harmony, and these other two are ambassadors from Kyoato." "Very well," the guard says. "You may all enter, I'll trust you Princess to escort the others." "Of course." Twilight says as she leads the way through the castle. They come to a door and Twilight raises a fore-hoof and knocks. The door opens and Celestia pokes her head through the doorway. "Princess Twilight?" "Let us in, I have news." Twilight states then Celestia moves and they all file inside. "What is so important that you brought not only the other elements but these two strangers into my chambers?" "These two strangers are actually visitors from another world, they claim Luna contacted them through the moon." Celestia looks at Sakura and Syaoran. "You two are ponies from another world?" "We are from another world, but we're not actually ponies." Sakura answers then looks to Twilight who nods. Sakura takes a card from her saddlebags and presses it against her horn. "ILLUSION! Release your magic so we may regain our normal appearances. ILLUSION release!" Sakura and Syaoran glow for a minute and then a bright flash of light. When the light fades they once again appear human Sakura holds her wand in one hand and the card in the other. "Now let me properly introduce Syaoran Li and his wife Sakura Kinomoto." Twilight nods to them. "And this is one of our diarchs Princess Celestia." Sakura and Syaoran bow. ”Greetings your highness.“ Celestia dips her head slightly acknowledging them. "Greetings travelers, what news do you have of my sister?” “She sent a distress signal to us, we came to see if we could help." "My sister seems to be in some kind of magical sleep can you use your magic to wake her?” Celestia asks. . ”I'm not sure, I need to confer with the cards." "Confer with the cards?" Sakura nods and pulls a card out of her outfit. “MIRROR! Come take my form. MIRROR release!" A mirror appears reflecting only Sakura, then reflection of Sakura steps through the mirror. “You summoned me, Mistress?" The reflection asks. “Yes this pony is in some kind of magical sleep can one of you wake her? ” Sakura asks. MIRROR looks at Luna then back to Sakura, “something is holding her in the dream. SLEEP could link you to her and send you into her dream.” Sakura nods, "Thank you for your advice.“ "Let me go with you.” Syaoran says. Sakura nods and sits on the floor before pulling out another card. "SLEEP! Put us into sleep and link us to this pony's dream. SLEEP release!" Syaoran sits next to Sakura as the card turns into a young periwinkle fairy-like little girl with a star on its forehead and one overlarge feathered ear and short hair carrying a wand. SLEEP goes over Sakura and Syaoran and puts them into a magical sleep. > Chapter 5: Dreamweaver > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I don’t own MLP or Cardcaptor Sakura, or any of the characters therein. Chapter 5: Dreamweaver Sakura and Syaoran stand in front of a massive castle on what appears to be the moon. MIRROR shimmers into existence SLEEP flies beside her. "SLEEP says the pony is in that castle ” Mirror says. “MIRROR what are you doing here?” Sakura asks. “You did not release me, so I came with you.” MIRROR states. Sakura nods, "Let’s go rescue her." ========== “This is taking longer than I anticipated.” Nightmare Moon growls. “You will never have my body again." Luna says defiantly. “I will perish first." "Then perhaps it is time you did just that.” Nightmare Moon says as she charges her magic. Just as she's about to fire her magic an arrow whizzes past her. "Not so fast there." Sakura says as ARROW returns to card form. “I've come to free Princess Luna." "Who are you?” “I am the mistress of the cards, Sakura Kinomoto, and you are?” “Nightmare Moon.“ she answers then fires her magic at Sakura. “SHIELD! " Sakura yells tapping the air as if the card is there and a glowing shield covers them. "Raijin attack!" Syaoran says as he hits a seal with is sword and Nightmare Moon is struck by lighting. Nightmare Moon laughs, "That tickles.“ "Mistress, she's inmaterial." MIRROR says. “SHADOW! Bind this pony. SHADOW release! " Sakura touches the card to her wand and shadows immediately attack Nightmare Moon. “What is the meaning of this? ” Nightmare Moon asks as she is thoroughly contained. “You are finished." Sakura says. “SWORD! release!” her wand turns into a sword “Young one, you can not kill her." Luna says. MIRROR walks up to Nightmare Moon. “You are all alone aren’t you?” “What do you know of loneliness?” Nightmare Moon asks “Awhile back I was seperated from my friends, I knew loneliness then. My mistress reunited all of us, and now we have HOPE.” Nightmare Moon laughs. “I have no hope, I am alone in the darkness!” “Come join us,” MIRROR says. “Join you?” Nightmare Moon asks and watches as all of the Sakura cards surround Sakura and her. “Mistress, you can turn her into one of us.” MIRROR says. “It is well within your power now.” “SWORD dispel!” Sakura says and the wand returns to normal. “I Sakura, mistress of the cards command you by the power of my star to change form, I name you NIGHTMARE!” Magic energy encapsulates Nightmare Moon, as the form of a card appears at the end of Sakura’s wand. Nightmare Moon vanishes and Sakura holds a card, she looks at his and sees the image of Nightmare Moon and the name The NIGHTMARE. She takes a pen and signs the card with her name. “She is gone?” Luna asks from her cage. “She is here.” Sakura says as she holds up the card. “She is with friends.” “The rest of the cards are welcoming her.” MIRROR says. “May I join them?” “Of course.” Sakura says. “MIRROR dispel!” She taps her doppelganger and she turns back into a card. “Now let’s get you out of this cage, and back to the waking world.” Sakura walks over to the cage. “SWORD release!” her wand once again turns into a sword and Sakura quickly cuts the cage open. “Thank you.” Luna says. “Now let me return us all to the waking world.” Sakura nods, “SWORD dispel!” her wand returns to normal and then the world ripples as they wake up. > Chapter 6: In The End > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I don’t own MLP or Cardcaptor Sakura, or any of the characters therein. Chapter 6: In The End “I think they’re waking up.” Pinkie Pie says “Pinkie give em some room.” Applejack says. Sakura opens her eyes only to look into the eyes of the aforementioned pink party pony. “Personal space please, Pinkie?” “Oh goody, you are awake! Now can I throw you a party?” “One of your parties does sound tempting.” Luna says as she wakes up. “But I could really just go for something to eat.” “Okie Dokie Lokie.” Pinkie says as she rushes off. “Princess Luna what happened?” Princess Twilight asks. “Nightmare Moon held me in within her power.” Luna answers. “I thought we destroyed Nightmare Moon.” Twilight states. “Apparently the elements separated her from my body. It took her some time but she worked up enough power to capture me.” “Will she come back again?” Twilight asks. “There’s no chance of that.” Sakura says. “She is with me now.” With that she pulls out the card and shows them. “You turned her into a card?” Twilight asks. Sakura nods. “It’s how my magic works.” “I brought muffins, and scones, and biscuits, and..” Pinkie starts only to be silenced by Twilight using her magic to shove a muffin into her mouth. “Thank you Pinkie.” Twilight says as Luna uses her magic to grab some food and starts eating. The rest of them dig in. “So party?” Pinkie asks hopefully after finishing the muffin.. Sakura sighs, “We should probably head home soon, I’m not sure how long Yue and Kero will be able to make a gateway.” “Yue is the one I contacted, yes?” Luna asks. Sakura nods, “That is correct your majesty.” Luna closes her eyes for a minute. “I contacted Yue, he says they will open the gateway in the morning.” Pinkie grins. “Yes Pinkie,” Twilight says. “That means a party.” “Yeah!” Pinkie practically screams as she heads off to plan the party. “Should we be scared?” Sakura asks. “I doubt it.” Twilight says. “I’m sure y’all will enjoy whatever Pinkie has planned.” Applejack says. ================ The next morning our heros are all gathered in the throne room. “I have directed Yue, the gateway is going to open up right here.” Luna says. “I can never thank you for what you have done.” “It has been our honor, your majesty.” Sakura says as she and Syaoran bow to her. “It is I who should be bowing to you,” Luna says as she and the others all bow to Sakura and Syaoran. “We are in your debt, if you ever need us let us know.” “Of course, we will remember that.” Sakura says as the gateway opens open right in front of them. “Bye!” Pinkie says as she hugs them both. “We’ll miss you Pinkie.” Sakura says. “You’re a good friend.” Pinkie lets go of the couple and they go through the gateway. =========================== “Eventful trip?” Yue asks after Sakura and Syaoran appear in front of them. Sakura holds up The NIGHTMARE, “I’d say.” “You made a new card?” Kero asks surprised. “And we made some interesting friends.” Sakura says. “I hope we get to see them again.” She puts the card back in her outfit. “What is this?” She pulls out of photo of a group of ponies and chuckles. ”Pinkie must have slipped this into my pocket when she hugged us.” “Ponies?” Yue asks. Sakura grins. “Oh, that’s right, you don’t know.” Syaoran takes the camera out of his bag. “It gets better.”
