Size and Stealth

(BiggerBetterBarbie)

As the school bells rang and kids came pouring out of the school, Tomoyo Daidouji was waiting patiently near the gates for her best friend to catch up with her, Sakura Kinomoto. Tomoyo smiled as she watched Sakura run up to her, breathing heavily.
"Sakura, you finally made it!" Tomoyo said.
"Yeah... sorry I took so long. Naoko was telling me about a book she was drawing in earlier this week, only for it to disappear. She thinks it was just another strange dream." Sakura said as she checked her rollerskating gear one more time to make sure everything was secure, including her kneepads. Tomoyo was already in her own gear.
"I see. Anyway, you ready for some ice cream?" Tomoyo asked.
"Always! Nothing starts a weekend like a cool ice cream cone!" Sakura said with a smile as they got to skating off the school property.

A few minutes later, they made it to the ice cream stand just outside the park. The two girls paid for a couple small cones of their favorite flavors before walking (after detaching the wheels) away.
"Mmmm... nothing like ice cream to start the weekend, right Tomoyo?" Sakura said. However, she did not hear back. She looked over and saw Tomoyo looking up at the sky.
"Huh? Tomoyo? Are you alright?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, yes. Sorry, Sakura. I was just thinking about something." Tomoyo said.
"What is it?" Sakura said as the two girls sat down on a nearby bench.
"I can't stop thinking about that one night you grew big." Tomoyo said. Sakura blushed a bit.
"Heh heh... yeah, I must've looked super cool from where you were standing. Like a superhero growing big ready to save the world from a giant monster." Sakura said.
"Hahaha! My thoughts exactly. Although I also felt bad when you said you were embarrassed." Tomoyo said.
"It's okay, Tomoyo. It's one thing to pretend you're 100 feet tall... but actually growing to that size was very overwhelming! I couldn't stop thinking about what other people would think. But now..." Sakura said.
"Huh? Now?" Tomoyo said. Sakura then showed a smile.
"Now I think it'd be fun to grow big again. Just to see the world look so different from up there. Just to see what Syaoran would really think..." Sakura said.

Tomoyo finally couldn't keep her request secret any longer. With her free hand, she clutched onto Sakura's free hand and looked deep into her eyes.
"Sakura... I want you to use the Big card again. Nothing would make me happier than to see you towering in the sky like a skyscraper." Tomoyo said.
"Uh... Tomoyo... I don't know if..." Sakura said.
"Please, Sakura?" Tomoyo said. Sakura could see it in her eyes again. She gave that look... the look that was comparable to a dog or cat begging for food.
"Okay, okay, but we're going to do it my way so that Kero doesn't yell and scream at both of us." Sakura said.
"Whatever you say, Sakura." Tomoyo said.
"We'll come out here to the park late at night, when nobody is around." Sakura said.
"Deal. I accept your terms... although I do have another request." Tomoyo said.
"Another one?" Sakura said.
"You have to be wearing your school outfit." Tomoyo said.
"Huh? What I'm wearing now? Not another one of your custom outfits?" Sakura asked.
"I'm taking a break from those for now. I want to see you grow in a natural outfit." Tomoyo said.
"Heh... okay, Tomoyo. You're the boss." Sakura said.
"Yes! Thank you, Sakura!" Tomoyo shouted as she leaned over and gave Sakura a hug, which she did not expect as she moved her ice cream cone away.
"Ack! Watch the ice cream!" Sakura shouted.

About an hour later, Sakura roller skated her way home with Tomoyo behind her. Tomoyo agreed to stay for the night to assist Sakura in sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night. Sakura knocked on the front door, which opened up quickly. Inside was Sakura's older brother, Toya.
"Oh look. The kaiju have arrived." Toya said.
"Arrrrrrgh! Stop calling me that!" Sakura shouted. Tomoyo just giggled. She always thought it was cute that Sakura and Toya had a sibling rivalry. Sakura and Tomoyo walked in and took their shoes off. Not too far in front of them was Sakura, father, Fujitaka.
"Oh! Welcome home, Sakura. I take it Tomoyo wants to stay with us another night?" Fujitaka said.
"Yes, Mr. Kinomoto. I hope you don't mind." Tomoyo said.
"Of course not. Any friend of Sakura's is welcome in our home! Come on, Toya, help me move these boxes around." Fujitaka said. Toya just rolled his eyes and walked away after closing the front door, while both girls ran upstairs. Sakura went right for her alarm clock.
"I'll set it for 2:30 AM. That should give us plenty of time before daylight starts to break." Sakura said.
"Works for me!" Tomoyo said.
"You have the camera, right?" Sakura asked.
"As always, in my backpack!" Tomoyo said.
"Alright, come on. It's almost dinner time!" Sakura said as she walked out of her bedroom and Tomoyo followed behind. The rest of the day went on as normal for the two girls, which included them telling Fujitaka what they planned to do for the weekend (minus that night's Big card excursion, of course!).
The girls eventually tuck themselves into bed around 9 PM and fell asleep.

As promised by Sakura, the alarm clock went off around 2:30 AM. Sakura merely reached over and slapped the alarm off (not just hitting the snooze button). Tomoyo, on the other hand, sprung to life from her side of the bed.
"Sakura, wake up...!" Tomoyo whispered as she tugged on her friend.
"Ugh... okay, okay, I'm up. Ugh... do we really have to do this, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo was not surprised by Sakura's reaction. She'd be grumpy too if one of the maids back at the mansion she lived in woke her up at 2:30 AM. Still, she gave Sakura a couple more tugs.
"Of course. It's like you said... this is the best time of day to grow, when there's nobody at the park. And don't forget to change into your school outfit!" Tomoyo said.
"Yaaaaaaaaawn... got it." Sakura said as she rubbed her eyes and looked out at the moonlight shining through the window. That's when she got to work dressing herself up in her school outfit, complete with her favorite white hat.
A couple minutes later, she was ready and she slowly opened up the window, trying not to wake Kero up who was still sleeping.
"I'm surprised Kero is still sleeping through all this." Tomoyo said.
"Yeah, he's a deep sleeper. For now, anyway." Sakura said. She then transformed her key into her famous Sealing Wand, and quickly pulled out the Fly card.
"Fly..." Sakura softly said, again to try and prevent Kero from waking up. Her wand grew longer wings and extended until it was long enough to allow both Sakura and Tomoyo to sit on it.
"Hold on tight, Tomoyo. We're flying straight to the park." Sakura said as she and Tomoyo flew out of the room.
Kero, meanwhile, opened one of his eyes and just caught the two girls flying out of the room.

It took a few minutes for Sakura and Tomoyo to fly to the park, mainly to focus on a route that would allow the least amount of exposure to the neighborhood. Then again, the outskirts of Tomoeda were always whisper quiet during night hours. Still, when they landed in the middle of the park, they were relieved to see not a single person was walking around despite the place being lit up with street lights.
"Okay, looks like the coast is clear." Sakura said.
"Alright! Just let me get the camera rolling..." Tomoyo said as she pulled out her camcorder and started recording.
"It is almost 2:45 AM, and my good friend, Sakura Kinomoto, will once again become a tower that looms high in the skies!" Tomoyo said. Sakura quickly blushed over that remark.
"Tomoyo... you're too kind." Sakura said. She then took a deep breath and pulled out the Big card, holding it in front of her face. She threw the card in front of her and twirled her wand around.
"Transform me into a tower that looms high into the skies! Biiiiiiig!!!" Sakura shouted as she slammed her wand on the Big card. Its energy swirled around in the air before making its way around Sakura herself, and that's when the young girl grew.

Tomoyo smiled as she watched her friend grow bigger and bigger until she was just over 100 feet tall. Sakura exhaled as she looked around and saw the park smaller than before.
"Well, I'm huge again." Sakura said. She then looked down at Tomoyo who continued to film her.
"Yay! Sakura is a giantess again! And she's never looked better." Tomoyo said as she approached the giantess just as she got down on her knees.
"So what now, Tomoyo? What do I do next?" Sakura asked.
"Just stay right there for now while I examine you from every angle." Tomoyo said. Sakura nodded and allowed her friend to walk around.
"Teehee... just one of her fingers is easily bigger than me." Tomoyo commented as she filmed as many up close shots as she could.
"The way her scarf flows with the soft breeze..." Tomoyo said as she zoomed in on the red and white scarf Sakura normally wore with her outfit this time of year. Tomoyo kept circling around the giant Sakura until she was back in front of her black dress shoes.
"Sakura... can you please pick me up?" Tomoyo asked.
"Okay..." Sakura said as she gently wrapped her hand (the one that wasn't holding her wand) around Tomoyo, leaving her upper body sticking out of the fist. Sakura raised her fist up to her face.
"Wow... the incredible strength she possesses... and just look how much of the picture her hand takes up!" Tomoyo said as she aimed her camera down and then back up at Sakura's face, where she could see the girl laughing a bit with a sweatdrop on her face.
"Heh heh... you're really into this, aren't you, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"Sorry, Sakura. I can't help it. Ever since you grew that one night, I just... nothing makes me more happy than to see you towering in the sky." Tomoyo said.
"Well, anything to make you happy, Tomoyo." Sakura said.
"Oh! I know what we can do next! Put me back down on the ground." Tomoyo said. Sakura nodded and gently set Tomoyo down on the ground.

"Okay, Sakura. Can you please stand up?" Tomoyo said. Sakura did just that, using her hands and feet to stand herself back up. Tomoyo smiled as she looked a long ways up at Sakura towering over her.
"Okay, so what now, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"Teehee... now we're going to pretend this is a movie! Sakura has grown giant and is threatening to crush the innocent girl named Tomoyo." Tomoyo said.
"Errrr... I'm not sure that's such a good idea..." Sakura said.
"Come on, Sakura? Pleeeeeease?" Tomoyo said. Sakura knew there was no talking Tomoyo out of one of her requests.
"Okay, okay." Sakura said as she cleared her throat. She put her legs together and her hands on her hips (even while she still held her wand) and looked down at Tomoyo as she got back to filming.
"Well, well. What do we have here? A tiny girl who's either very brave or very dumb." Sakura said.
"Oh no! Whatever shall I do?" Tomoyo asked with a fake desperate-sounding voice. Sakura put on an act herself by flashing an evil grin.
"You better get running, young lady, before I step on you like this." Sakura said as she raised one of her black dress shoes over Tomoyo, who just plain smiled as she focused her camera on underneath that shoe as it slowly came down.
"Wow... look at the size of that shoe! It's like watching a meteor fall from the sky..." Tomoyo said. Then Sakura stopped lowering her shoe and looked down at Tomoyo.
"Um, Tomoyo? Aren't you going to run?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, right! Sorry!" Tomoyo said as she got to trotting backwards, making sure to keep filming Sakura at all times. Sakura, meanwhile, finally planted her shoe softly down on the ground, and then walked slowly after Tomoyo, making sure to keep a safe distance from her tiny friend.

For the next couple minutes, Sakura followed Tomoyo around the park keeping up the same routine of coming close to stomping her without actually doing so. But once Tomoyo made her way into an area populated by trees, that's when things got interesting. Sakura came to a stop when she heard something go crunch underneath her shoe. It wasn't until Tomoyo shone a light from the camera onto that shoe that they both saw what got crushed.
"Oops! That poor tree!" Tomoyo said.
"Oh dear... it was an accident, I swear!" Sakura said, briefly raising her voice but quickly lowering it back down so any neighbors wouldn't hear it.
"It's okay, Sakura. I suppose it was bound to happen as big as you are." Tomoyo said.
"At least nobody got hurt." Sakura said.
"True! Say... maybe you should crush some more of these trees. Even you crushing trees looks very exciting on video!" Tomoyo said with a smile.
"Tomoyo... everything I do looks good on video. But whatever you say." Sakura said. She took a deep breath and watched as Tomoyo would shine her light on another tree. Then Sakura would raise her foot and smush the tree flat with her shoe. After crushing a couple more trees, Sakura couldn't help but smile.
"You know, this does feel kinda good. And didn't the park say there were too many trees growing here?" Sakura asked.
"I think so, but I'm glad you enjoy this, Sakura! Maybe next we can move onto buildings..." Tomoyo said.
"In your dreams, Tomoyo!" Sakura said with a slightly disgusted look on her face.
"Sorry... sometimes I get carried away especially when it comes to filming." Tomoyo said.
"I know, Tomoyo. I understand." Sakura said.

Shortly thereafter, the two heard a familiar voice calling out.
"Sakura! Sakura!" the childish-like voice said.
"Uh oh... I know that voice!" Tomoyo said.
"Kero." Sakura softly said. She then watched as Kero flew up towards Sakura's head.
"Sakura! What the heck are you doing out here!? Especially at that size! What if someone spots you like this!?" Kero shouted.
"Well, it's just..." Sakura tried to explain, but Kero was still going off.
"Haven't I told you a thousand times you mustn't be so reckless with using your newly acquired powers!? Especially at that..." Kero said, only to be interrupted when Sakura pinched him between a couple of her fingers.
"For your information, this was Tomoyo's idea, not mine. I only made sure we did this at this time of day so nobody would notice!" Sakura said. Amazingly enough, Kero didn't argue any further. Then again, being trapped between a pair of giant fingers didn't make feel any comfortable!
"You make a good point, Sakura. Now... can you let go before you squish me?" Kero said. Sakura did just that, allowing the creature to fly freely again.
"Sorry." Sakura said.
"Then again, I have to admit... you look very nice at that size." Kero said, prompting a bright blush in the face from Sakura.
"You too!?" Sakura said.
"I was filming her chasing me like she was pretending to crush me, then she ended up crushing a couple trees. Well, at first on accident!" Tomoyo shouted from below.
"Ah, I see. Then don't let me stop the two of you." Kero said as he flew down behind Tomoyo so he wouldn't be in her shots anymore.

Tomoyo then got back to running around the park with the giant Sakura 'chasing' her. Kero flew around as well, admiring the huge size of Sakura's black dress shoes. Tomoyo then ran towards the entrance sign of the park.
"Oh! There is the entrance! I hope the giantess doesn't step on it and block my exit!" Tomoyo said in a somewhat dramatic tone. This gave Sakura an idea of what her little filmmaking friend wanted, and so she finally walked ahead of Tomoyo and Kero (to the side of course so she wouldn't crush them), and planted her shoes directly in front of the two.
"Eeeek!" Tomoyo shouted.
"Ha ha ha! You put up a good chase, little girl, but now..." Sakura started to say, but as she took a casual step backwards, she suddenly felt her shoe bump against something and a loud alarm went off. She gasped and stomped where the alarm was coming from, and the sound quickly went away. Sakura had a pale look on her face as she looked down at Tomoyo.
"I think that was MUCH more than just a tree." Sakura said.
"Let me see, Sakura." Tomoyo said. The giantess slowly lifted her shoe up and shone her light in that direction. The group was now looking at what was left of a car that had just gotten crushed.
"Oh no oh no oh no... I hope nobody was in that car." Sakura said.
"It doesn't look like it. It was just left parked here. In fact, here's the police ticket." Tomoyo said as she kneeled down and picked up the ticket indicating an illegally parked vehicle and the monetary penalty that went with it.
"Well, we were lucky there, but do you see how dangerous things can be when you're using the Big card, Sakura?" Kero said.
"Yes, Kero. I think we should call it a night, Tomoyo." Sakura said.
"I agree, Sakura. I think I got enough footage anyway!" Tomoyo said. The giantess then reached into her outfit and pulled out the Big card, clutching her wand tightly.
"Clow card! I command you to reverse your magic and return me to the size I once stood proudly at! Big!" Sakura said. She threw the card in front of her and allowed it to hover in the air.

However, before she could slam her wand down... something completely unexpected happened. The card started glowing a bright white.
"Huh? What's this?" Sakura said. The trio watched as suddenly the white light started to metamorphose. It gradually grew and stretched out over the next several seconds before it took the form of a tall woman (roughly 20 feet tall; tall to Tomoyo and Kero but paling in comparison to Sakura). Sakura gasped.
"What!? That's the form of the card before I sealed it!" Sakura said.
"No way! That shouldn't happen!" Kero shouted. Big herself then flew deeper into the park.
"Wait, come back!" Sakura said as she took a couple steps forward and stepped back onto the park grounds. Tomoyo and Kero had to jump out of the way as one of Sakura's black dress shoes came perilously close to them.
"Sakura, watch where you're stepping!" Kero said. Sakura finally got down on her knees and looked down at her friends.
"Sorry, Kero... but what just happened? Big was willing to be captured a few nights ago." Sakura said.
"I don't know! She shouldn't have escaped like that! But never mind how it happened! It's important that she not escape this park and cause mayhem like she did that one night!" Kero said. Tomoyo watched as Big rested herself against one of the trees, looking at peace.
"Hmmm... she seems to be content with resting at that tree." Tomoyo said.
"Good, then I can recapture her!" Sakura said, only to be called back by Kero.
"Sakura, wait! We don't know what her motive is. And at your size, you could end up doing more harm by chasing after it." Kero said.
"Ugh... I knew I should've brought the Little card with me! Now I'm stuck like this until we can change Big back into a card!" Sakura said.
"Hmmm... yes. This is a very... ahem... big problem we have." Kero said. The creature was lucky Sakura didn't knock him on the head for making that bad pun.

Tomoyo, however, then spoke up as she finally put her camera down.
"Hey, I've got an idea! Why don't we get Syaoran and Meiling to help us chase after her? You can stay right here, Sakura... that way no more of the park gets flattened." Tomoyo said.
"WHAT!? No way! There is no way I'm going to allow that brat, Meiling, to hog all the glory!" Kero shouted.
"Kero... do we really have a choice?" Sakura said.
"Sakura is right, Kero. It's like you said... we don't want her walking around and messing up the park more than she already has." Tomoyo said. Kero then sighed.
"Okay, fine." Kero said.
"Wait here, Sakura! We'll go get them for you!" Tomoyo said as she and Kero quickly ran out of the park. Sakura, at the same time, looked out in the far distance and could see lighter shades of blue in the sky.
"Hurry! We probably only have an hour or two of total darkness left!" Sakura said as she watched her little friends run off.

While they were gone, Sakura kept staring at Big, who just sat peacefully against the tree. It reminded her of that night where Big stood calmly and allowed herself to be captured back into Clow Card form, and it got her thinking. Would she be that cooperative again? Sakura got on her hands and knees and crawled her way towards the tree that Big was resting against. Once she felt she was close enough, she made the dive.
"Ha!" Sakura shouted as she lunged towards the tree. However, Big floated out of the way, gravitating towards another tree. Sakura, meanwhile, had to deal with not only uprooting an innocent tree, but from having a mouthful of its leaves and branches that she spat out.
"Bleh! If I were ever to rampage around a city, trees will NOT be a part of my diet." Sakura said to herself as she got back to a sitting position and brushed her school uniform clean of debris. She also made sure to straighten out her hat. Then, she heard some familiar voices calling her name.
"Sakura!" they shouted. The young giantess looked to see not only Tomoyo and Kero returning, but with them were Meiling Li and Syaoran Li. They all ran up to within a few yards of Sakura's giant legs.
"Wow! Ultra Sakura has returned!" Meiling shouted happily.
"Ultra Sakura?" Syaoran asked.
"You know! That Ultra guy who grows big to stop the giant monsters!" Meiling said.
"Huh? Sakura? Why do you have a face full of leaves?" Kero asked. Sakura brushed off the last of the leaves she scooped up from her missed tackle.
"Don't ask." Sakura said with a somewhat annoyed face.

Meiling then stepped away from the giant Sakura and got a look at Big.
"Soooo... there's the culprit. You picked the wrong night to escape!" Meiling said as she pointed towards Big.
"Meiling, we really need to be careful. One touch from her and we could have more giant trouble!" Syaoran said.
"Ha! I say bring it on! I'd love to grow big too and crush her flat!" Meiling said. Syaoran simply sighed and then drew his sword out.
"Don't worry, Sakura. I swear by this sword we will capture her before the sun rises and... whoa!" Syaoran shouted as he was suddenly grabbed by the giantess and held up to her face.
"Actually, I would feel more comfortable if you stayed with me, Syaoran. Tomoyo, why don't you and Kero help Meiling out in capturing Big?" Sakura said.
"You got it, Sakura!" Tomoyo said.
"Hey! Wait a minute! Why does he have to stay with you!?" Meiling said.
"Meiling! We don't have time to argue! It's going to be daylight very soon!" Kero said.
"Alright, alright. Come on, Tomoyo." Meiling said as she, Tomoyo, and Kero all went towards Big.

Meanwhile, Syaoran watched the three run off, and then he looked back up at Sakura.
"Umm... Sakura. You could've asked Tomoyo to stay behind. Meiling and I are the most skilled... I mean, aside from you... you know what I meant..." Syaoran said as he blushed in the face thinking he just insulted Sakura; something he was afraid to do given her magnificent size right now.
"Heehee! You look cute when you blush, Syaoran." Sakura said as she cuddled the young boy against her face.
"Ack! Not too hard, Sakura!" Syaoran shouted.
"I'm sorry, Syaoran. I... I just can't resist. In fact..." Sakura said. She then shifted her body around until she was in a sitting position and her knees were pointed upward. That's when Sakura placed Syaoran on top of her kneecap.
"Go ahead! Slide!" Sakura said.
"Umm... Sakura... I'm not so sure this is such a good... WHOA!!!" Syaoran started to say until he was shoved from behind by one of Sakura's fingers. Syaoran had no choice but to slide down Sakura's leg like he was at the world's biggest amusement park slide. He came to a rest on top of the white skirt of Sakura's outfit, breathing heavily.
"Did you have fun, Syaoran?" Sakura asked.
"Um... yes... yes I did." Syaoran said. Sakura then started poking Syaoran in the chest with one of her giant fingers.
"Poke poke!" Sakura said.
"Hey! Sakura! Stop it!" Syaoran said as he tried (with no success of course) to fight off the huge finger. Sakura giggled a little bit as she finally stopped.

However, things quickly took a serious turn as Syaoran held a hand near one of his ears.
"Wait, Sakura! Do you hear that?" Syaoran said. Sakura listened carefully too, and could faintly hear both a male and female voice. They both sounded adult in tone.
"(gasp) That sounds like a couple adults. What are they doing out here at this time of day!?" Sakura said.
"Oh boy... if they spot you, who knows what will happen... who they'd tell..." Syaoran said.
"What will we do, Syaoran?" Sakura asked. Syaoran put a hand to his chin and thought for a few seconds, then after looking at a nearby tree that Sakura's wand was inches away from crushing, he snapped his fingers.
"I've got an idea. I need you to hold real still, Sakura." Syaoran said.
"Okay..." Sakura said. Syaoran jumped off Sakura's body and pulled out both his sword and also a magic charm. He closed his eyes, breathed deeply, and then looked sharply at the tree.
"Fukka Shourai!" Syaoran shouted as he swung his sword first at the tree and then towards Sakura. A powerful gust of wind ensued. It was so strong, even the giant Sakura had to hold onto her hat to keep it from blowing off. Meanwhile, every last green leaf from the tree flew off and landed on Sakura, completely covering her in leaves. The giantess held perfectly still, peeking out as best as she could, and watched as Syaoran next walked towards the older couple.

The man and woman stumbled around the sidewalk near the park entrance, having clearly had one cup of sake too many
"And that's when I said, I don't even own an elephant! HAHAHAHA!!!" the man shouted as he and the woman both laughed out loud. The woman then finally managed to look to her left towards the park where she saw the giant 'bush' that of course was really the giant Sakura in disguise.
"Honey... look at that big bush in the park." the woman said.
"Whoa... I'll be danged. Hey, let's go climb it!" the man said. The two then watched as Syaoran stepped in their path.
"I'm sorry, folks. The park is closed tonight. I've been told to turn away anyone who isn't part of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries." Syaoran said. The man and woman both laughed in a drunken fashion again.
"Hahahaha! Awwww... isn't this kid cute, honey? Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries... clever!" the man said.
"Kid, don't you think you're a little young to be playing crossing guard?" the woman said.
"Yeah, and it's waaaaaaaaaaay past your bedtime too. Why don't you run home and..." the man said, until he watched as Syaoran pull his sword out.
"My blade and I can assure you we're not kidding. Please run home before you both do something you'll regret." Syaoran said.
"Why you ungrateful piece of..." the man said. It looked like he was going to take a swing (that Syaoran would've no doubt avoided), but the woman held her back.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Come on, dear. He's right, we should both get home before something bad happens. Come on, let's go find a taxi." the woman said as she dragged the man away in the opposite direction. A minute later when they turned the corner, Syaoran took a deep breath, but jumped a bit when Sakura shook all the leaves off.
"Nice job, Syaoran. But... were you really going to use that sword?" Sakura asked.
"Of course. I always intend on using my sword when I pull it out." Syaoran said. Then both shook up a bit when the nearby street lights suddenly turned off. Sakura looked out in the distance and saw the sun just barely peeking out from far away.
"We're running out of time..." Sakura softly said. She and Syaoran looked around the park wondering where Meiling, Tomoyo, and Kero went.

While all that was going on, the trio was walking up to one of the trees where they saw Big sitting peacefully.
"Hmph! Look at her just sitting there. This is going to be a piece of cake!" Meiling said.
"Are you sure? Sometimes it's the calm and collected ones that can be the most dangerous." Tomoyo said.
"I tell you what. Why don't you just do the filming and let me do the capturing?" Meiling said. Tomoyo just shrugged her shoulders and got to filming again. Meanwhile, Meiling approached Big and then got into a fighting stance.
"Alright, Big. Put up your dukes!" Meiling said. She then watched as Big got up with a smile, standing at her full height of 12-14 feet tall.
"Ha! Is that supposed to scare me? I've seen dragons that make you look flea-sized!" Meiling shouted. She watched as Big slowly walked towards her. Big then lowered her wand down and was about to tap it on Meiling, but then...
"Watch out, Meiling!" Kero shouted as he flew at high speed towards Meiling's right hip, knocking her out of the way before Big could touch her.
"HEY! What are you doing, you stupid teddy bear!?" Meiling said.
"Do you have a short term memory!? Don't you remember how Big works her magic? Anything her wand touches gets enlarged!" Kero said.
"Well, duh! I was going to trick her into enlarging me so I could pin her underneath my shoe!" Meiling said.
"Riiiight. You just want to grow as big as Sakura!" Kero said.
"Um... Kero. I don't think she was trying to enlarge Meiling." Tomoyo said as she pointed at Big. She realized the tall girl was still lowering her wand to the ground despite Meiling getting shoved out of the way.

Eventually there was a short burst of light, and the group watched as a frog many times its normal size appeared before their eyes.
"Look out! That frog's been enlarged!" Kero shouted. The frog then bounced happily towards Meiling.
"Eeeeek! Get it away from me! I don't want to get warts!" Meiling said as she went running away from the enlarged creature. Tomoyo briefly panicked knowing Meiling wasn't going to save the day now, but some quick thinking got her thinking of an alternate solution. Tomoyo looked down and saw a ladybug trying to scatter away from her shoes. She then reached down and grabbed it with her free hand, closing it up to keep the ladybug from crawling away. Then she walked towards Big herself, who turned and looked down at Tomoyo.
"Um... hi, Big. Wow... you're so tall. Um... can you enlarge my little friend here?" Tomoyo said as she slowly opened up her hand and showed off the ladybug, now too scared to move. Big then smiled and slowly walked towards Tomoyo, who took a step backwards with each step Big took forward.
"That's it... nice and easy." Tomoyo said. Kero took his eyes off Meiling and the giant frog chasing her and looked over at Big following Tomoyo. He then realized the two were heading towards the giant Sakura.
"Oh? I get it! Tomoyo's going to lure Big towards Sakura. I better tell Sakura to get ready!" Kero said as he flew towards Sakura.

As for Sakura, while she continued to keep a tight grip on Syaoran, the giantess crawled around trying to find a tall enough tree that was going to give her cover. With the sun rising fast and daylight arriving with it, Sakura no longer could rely solely on the darkness of night to protect her from the throng of people that would soon arrive at the park.
"Sigh... this is it, Syaoran. Everyone's going to see me and call me a giant monster." Sakura said.
"You know I'll never feel that way about you, Sakura." Syaoran said.
"I know, but still... maybe you and I can flee to Hong Kong or something like that." Sakura said. Before Syaoran could say anything more, the two heard Kero calling.
"Sakura! Over here!" Kero shouted. Sakura looked over the tree and then saw the tiny Kero flying towards her.
"Huh? Kero?" Sakura said.
"Here comes Big! Tomoyo managed to lure her here!" Kero said. Sakura lightly gasped as she watched Big getting closer and closer towards Tomoyo. That's when the giantess, after setting Syaoran down on the ground, tightly clutched her wand and stood at her full height (nearly crushing Syaoran underneath her black dress shoe), holding her wand up in the air.
"Return to the form you originally came from! Clow Card!" Sakura shouted as she hovered her wand over Big. Just like the last time she captured her, Big was transformed back into a Clow Card. And luckily for Sakura, it was big as well, like she were her normal size. This allowed her to hold the card in her hand. Syaoran then looked over his shoulder and saw a few people as well as a couple cars coming around the corner.
"Hurry, Sakura! They're coming!" Syaoran shouted.
"Big card! I command you! Never escape from my clutches again and return me to my normal size!" Sakura said as she threw the card and slammed her wand down on it. After a series of lights and energy swirled around both the card and the giant Sakura, she shrank smaller and smaller.

It only took 10-15 seconds for Sakura to return to her normal size. And right on time, as sunlight started beaming down on the park area and a few people walked in like nothing had happened. Sakura breathed a sigh of relief as Tomoyo ran up to her and gave her friend a hug.
"Yay! Sakura's back to normal!" Tomoyo said.
"Whew... that was toooooo close." Sakura said.
"And the good news is... Big is now sealed for good. It can't possibly escape again." Kero said.
"But what about the other Clow Cards? Could they come back to life just like Big did?" Syaoran said. Everyone looked at Kero who just shook his head.
"Honestly, I don't know. It is possible, I suppose... but then again, I didn't think it could ever happen before Big somehow broke out." Kero said. The group then watched as Meiling walked up to them, breathing heavily and her hands on her knees as she looked down.
"Huff puff huff puff... Thank goodness... that frog... finally shrunk... back... to... normal." Meiling said.
"Teehee... have you been working out, Meiling?" Sakura said.
"Yeah! You look like you've run 10 miles! Hahaha!!" Tomoyo said as everyone, even Syaoran, laughed.
"Oh SHUT UP!!! You can be so immature sometimes." Meiling said as she folded her arms in disgust.

Sakura then gasped and looked over at Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo! We need to get back to my home before my brother or my father wake up!" Sakura said.
"Oh, you're right!" Tomoyo said.
"Come on! We'll run to the alley and use Fly." Sakura said as she, Tomoyo, and Kero all made their way out of the park.
"Hey! What about us!? Can't we fly with you!?" Meiling said, but it was too late as the three were too far away.
"Come on, Meiling. We can just walk back home. Besides, you could use the exercise." Syaoran said as he winked an eye and then walked away past a small crowd of people coming into the park.
"Ooooooooooh!!!" Meiling growled in disgust as she pounded the grass with her red shoes. But eventually she shrugged it off and left the park to return home with Syaoran.

After using Sakura's transformed wand to fly in the sky (cleverly around a few buildings so nobody would notice them), Sakura, Tomoyo, and Kero all eventually made it back home where they all quickly changed back into their pajamas and then jumped back into their beds. A couple minutes later, they turned as they saw the bedroom door open with Fujitaka Kinomoto, Sakura's father, coming in.
"Good morning, girls! Did you sleep well?" Fujitaka asked.
"*yawn* Sure did, Dad." Sakura said.
"Good. Come on down when you're ready. I made breakfast!" Fujitaka said before he closed the door again. Sakura smiled over to Tomoyo and the two girls winked at each other before they got up and proceeded to start a hopefully much more normal day. ^_____^
