We're chasing dreams without end in a world without a guide.
These overlapping feelings pierce the beating of my heart
as the unwavering verse quietly goes on.
From far away in the sky, our shadows blur together
as our memories are recorded amid inevitability and whimsy.
Even if the whirlpools of time we pass through,
were to waste away, I'll still believe in your voice.
We're chasing dreams without end in a future without a guide.
And even if I lose my light, someday,
with the twinkling flame you lit in my heart,
these fragments of hope will change into wings
We've arrived in the next world!
It's not the world I used to live in.
Yeah, not the world I used to live in either.
Where are we?
A lake?
So where exactly are we?
What a huge lake. I don't see any houses anywhere.
It doesn't even look like people live here.
How about it, Mokona? Do you sense Sakura-chan's feathers here?
I feel a strong power.
From where?
In here!
So you're telling us to dive in and search?
Dive in, dive in.
I will go look for the feather.
Syaoran-kun...
Princess Sakura...
Syaoran-kun...
When I got the feather back, I had a flashback.
It was Toya, my brother and the king of my country,
and Yukito-san, the High Priest
when Toya was a prince and father was still alive.
It was my birthday, and everyone was celebrating for me...
But there was one empty chair...
I'm really, really happy that I can be with you, _____, on my birthday.
I'm talking to that chair.
I'm really, really happy that I can be with you, Syaoran-kun, on my birthday.
Isn't it odd?
No one's there,
yet I seem so happy.
When is your birthday, Syaoran-kun?
I don't know.
Not long ago, I was found by Fujitaka-san, my present father...
...but I don't remember anything before then.
That's why I have no memory of when my birthday is.
In that case, can I decide your birthday?
Syaoran-kun, your birthday will be the same as mine, April 1st.
This way, we'll always celebrate it on the same day.
And another thing, you may not remember what happened before,
but from now on, I'll remember things for you.
Let's celebrate our birthdays together every year,
and create lots of great memories, okay?
I'm home.
Welcome back.
This is for you, Fujitaka-san... I mean, Dad...
Thank you. How was the birthday party?
Even when I said I don't have a memory, she didn't say that's weird,
or take pity on me.
But instead, she made a birthday for me... It's today, April 1st.
And then she smiled...
The Princess's smile... was so warm...
Are you starting to take an interest in archaeology?
Yes.
It's not all about what you can see.
There are still many wondrous things in the world that no one has seen.
And to discover that is true happiness.
You will also find your own happiness. You may not know what that is yet,
but I'm sure you will find it.
Syaoran-kun!
Please wait here, Princess.
Syaoran-kun?
What are you doing here?
Why have you come here?
I'm...
I...
I... I...
I...
Father!
Princess Sakura!
Father!
I'm sorry, did you have a guest?
Hello, Princess.
Hello.
Allow me to introduce him. That's my son, _____.
We're about the same age!
Would you like to be friends with him?
Uh-huh.
That boy has led a very hard life,
although he never realized how difficult it was.
Now that Fujitaka-san is his father, he's starting to change a bit.
But a part of his heart still remains frozen.
What he needs is warmth that can melt his frozen heart.
Like a warm smile, just like the spring sun.
Who was... that boy?!
The sun's gone down, so maybe we should get back.
Yeah, it sure is dark.
We've walked quite a bit, yet we haven't seen a single soul or house.
I'm scared, I'm scared!
Don't worry, I'm right here.
Kurogane's happy!
Who the hell are you calling Kurogane?
Kurogane's mad! I was just fooling around.
Don't do freaky things like that!
But you do great impersonations, Mokona. You sounded exactly like Kuro-mu.
That's just one of Mokona's 1 08 secret techniques!
And what about the other 1 07?
That-is-a-secret!
Mokona, you big tease!
Aww... that tickles!
I'm leaving.
Oh, Kuro-tan, wait!
Wait!
Oh no, Syaoran! Sakura's...
Sakura's...
Sakura's... fast asleep.
Did I scare you? Did I scare you?
This is just another one of Mokona's 1 08 secret techniques.
What a great dramatic performance!
Don't scare me like that, Mokona.
Sorry.
You really were scared, huh?
Yes, I really was scared.
Sakura-chan's still not back to her usual self yet.
More difficulties may lie ahead.
But you're still going to keep on searching for Sakura-chan's memories, right?
Yes.
In that case, relax a bit, okay?
You don't always have to think of the hardships.
It's okay, it's not like you can forget them, even if you tried.
No one will come down on you for laughing or having fun, Syaoran-kun.
Some people may even appreciate it.
Mokona's happy when you're smiling, Syaoran.
Mokona...
That goes for me too. And Kuro-pin too, right?
Don't ask me.
Oh, looks like she's up.
I must go, too!
Princess? Princess!
What's the matter, Princess?
I-I thought Syaoran-kun was still in the lake, searching...
Princess...
Come with me.
Huh?
There's something I want to show you, Princess.
Wow!
Isn't it pretty? I wanted to show you, Syaoran-kun!
Thank you.
All right! Syaoran-kun's smiling! Yay!
What are you doing here?
Why have you come here?
I'm here because...
What? There's a town at the bottom of the lake?
Yes.
It's a very small town.
Is that right? I bet that glowing fish acts like the sun
to the people who live in that town.
So, what? You think in a town this small, there are people this small who live there?
There's no way! Besides, no one's seen people there, right?
It's not all about what you can see.
There are still many wondrous things in the world that no one has seen.
I have no idea what that means.
The strong power Mokona felt is coming out of here.
That means that Sakura's feather is...
I don't feel a strong power anywhere else.
In other words, the feather is not in this world.
Yeah.
Shucks, so this was all for nothing.
But you seem to be in good spirits, Syaoran-kun.
Yes, because the two of us were able to see something wondrous
that we've never known before.
Sakura-chan...
I don't know what kind of journey lies ahead of us.
I know you're worried that you don't have your memory back.
But I do hope we'll have a fun journey. After all, we're all together like this now.
Yes.
There are still many things I need to learn, and at times I may be a burden to you,
but I'll do whatever I can.
So please bear with me.
There's not much I can do yet, but I want to try my best.
Because if I don't do something, I'll stay the same.
Even though it may be a small thing, just a small step...
...that will still lead me into the future.
Sakura hasn't changed... She is always so warm.
Mokona Modoki is all excited!
The Princess's smile...
...was so warm.
Seeing that made my heart all warm,
and that's when I thought, "I want her to be smiling all the time."
You know, when this town is bathed in twilight,
there will be a little seed that drops from your hand.
If you can call this trodden-down dirt a road,
does closing my eyes count as love?
If this world had been flat,
the two of us would never have met.
We were both running to keep our distance.
But now, without reducing speed,
no matter how far apart we are,
as the miracle repeats itself,
we will come face to face again.
We will come face to face again.
Puu! We've arrived in the next world again! We're now in the cold Jade Country.
There's a mysterious legend here that may be connected with the feathers.
But I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.
Huh? You say Syaoran told an incredible lie?
Just wait until you find out what he said!
