Card Captor Sakura - episode 41

 Try imagining "The Sleeping Beauty", except that you have to add in magic-wielding protagonists and the play is organised by someone who has ulterior motives of her own. What starts out innocently enough as a simple school day to discuss how to organise the upcoming arts festival soon blossoms into another twist of fate meant to provide another link between Sakura and Lee. Ms Mackenzie is in charge of setting up the school play and, in order to give everyone a fair chance at playing their designed roles, a drawing of lots is to take place. Whether by fate's design or coincidence, the main roles for sleeping beauty land on the two young Card Captors, only that their genders are reversed in the play, meaning that Lee has to disguise his voice to sound more like a girl's while rehearsing, while Sakura doesn't bother at all to sound different (I haven't watched the more loyal version of the series, but I suspect that this part change either). Meanwhile, Kero is onto Ms Mackenzie, his growing suspicions gnawing at him to such an extent that he insists on accompanying Sakura to school to see for himself how things will unfold. In the middle of their rehearsing session, the Sand Card makes its appearance, but the resourceful duo catch it with little effort. The card lands in Sakura's hands, but, uncharacteristically, she hands it over to her male friend, telling him that he was mostly responsible for its capture. The rambunctious young man refuses at first, but eventually accepts, adding it to his sparse collection of Clow Cards. All of this is being overseen by Ms Mackenzie, who knows something that neither of them know.
