Card Captor Sakura - episode 24

 Here is an unofficial team CLAMP sequel to Lewis carroll's "Alice's adventures in Wonder Land". As readers of the original book know, anything inspired by this work is prone to convoluted plots, unexpected characters and weird dialogues with the occasional good message thrown in for good measure. Sakura's take on it isn't anywhere near as twisted, but it's nonetheless a near-perfect setup for a lot of entertainment.

When Maddison drops in to pay a visit to Sakura, both sense a Clow Card at work and immediately go over to investigate. Concerned for Maddison's safety, Sakura tells her to wait in her room while she risks a look at the playful flea-like apparition. Sakura loses her balance during a brief struggle and is hit by the Card's signature move, causing her to shrink down to size. What follows is a string of perillous situations typical of anyone who has to dodge the lunges of an onrushing neighbour's cat and a vicious praying mantis. It bears mentioning that thanks to Sakura's physical capabilities, she gracefully evades the opposing living entities while deftly navigating her oversized surroundings. Still, she has no way to get back to normal and deal with the true culprit responsible for her predicament. It's not until Kero catches up with her and isntructs her on how to seal the Little card that things return to normal. Or so it seems. Maddison's strawberry shortcake is shared among the house occupants plus Julian, which means that no morsel is left for Kero. A downcast Kero descends into a pit of distress and not even Sakura can pull him out. Fortunately, he eventually comes across a life-saving idea, which involves putting the Little card to good use...
