Time And Again

Sakura and her classmates are all in the auditorium for Parent's Day. Sakura's father is giving a speach on archaeology. he explains that they are now working on the mysteries of the pyramids. Madison leans over to Sakura. "Sakura, your dad's a good speaker." Sakura nods. Bells begin to toll. Aiden, Sakura's father, looks at his watch and says that his time is up "Thanks for inviting me."

Li and Zachary are talking to Aiden after his speach. "But the pyramids won't disappear, will they?" Li asks the professor. Aiden tells him that eventually the will. Li just doesn't believe it due to their size. Aiden tells Li, "When you think that King Khufu's pyramid has nearly three million blocks in it, that is covers 13 acres, is 482 ft. high and was built in 2700 B.C., it probably has a few good years left."

Li is completely interested in what the professor has to say. Aiden invites Li to the university sometime. Li is very excited. Zachary points out how cool Sakura's dad is. Li is surprised. "What? Sakura's dad?" Zachary explains, "Our Sakura Avalon is this Professor Avalon's daughter." Li looks over to Sakura and sees her waving at her father.

That evening, in Sakura's room, Kero is playing a video game. "Whoo-hoo! Yeah! On to the final level!"

Sakura is standing ouside of Tori's bedroom door, with a tray of food, when Tori open the door. He asks her what she wants. Julian pops up behind Tori and asks Sakura what's up. Sakura manages to spit out the words food and eating. Tori takes the tray and thanks her for the snacks. He tells her to go to bed and shuts the door.

Back in Sakura's room. Sakura is lying on bed under the covers. "I just stood there!" She tells Kero. Kero tells her to forget about it. Sakura agrees. Kero turns off the light and flys into bed. Sakura tells Kero about her music test that she has the next day.

The clock strikes midnight and the bells begin to toll. Sakura sits straight up in bed. Kero slowly wakes up."What's with the ding-dong thing? I'm trying to sleep." Kero flys over to Sakura who it at the window. She explains that the bells son't ring at midnight for no reason.

The next morning Sakura is running around her saying how late she is and how she's going to fail her music test. Kero pops down in front of his game controller and tells her not to worry about it. Sakura tells Kero bye and runs out the door. Kero turns his attention back to the game. "No data?! That's not possible."

In the classroom a boy is playing a recorder. Madison asks Sakura if she's ready for the test. "I'm not sure. I think I left some of my fingers at home." She tells Madison. Madison reminds her to breathe and she'll do just fine. The music teacher calls Sakura up next. As she starts to walk up to the front of the room Madison reminds her breathe. Sakura begins wonderfully but then hits a bad note and lowers her head in disappointment.

On the playground Sakura and Madison are sitting on some steps near a soccer field where game is being played. Sakura tells Madison that she really blew it on the test and how she wishes she could go back and do it all over again. "I know I can play much better that that."

They both notice recorder music. When they look up they see Li walking by the top of stairs playing beatifully. Sakura is not impressed. "Heads up!" It came from the soccer field. Li looks up just in time to see a ball heading straight for him. He quickly jumps into the air and kicks it into the goal. Now Sakura is impressed. Everyone starts clapping.

That night Sakura, Tori and their father are sitting in the living room discussing their days. Aiden asks how their tests went that day. Sakura quickly passes the question to Tori. He is sits back in the sofa and says, "As usual." Sakura bangs her fists on the table, "Well, not for me, OK?!" Tori tells her that she should practice more. Their father agrees.

Back in Sakura's room, Kero is still playing the same game and Sakura is practicing her recorder. Kero finally gets to the same part he was at the day before, "I did it! And today, I'm going to save it. Save, save." Sakura finishes the song. She is so thrilled that she played with no mistakes. Kero tells her that the music test is over with. Sakura explains how Tori and her dad don't think she practices enough. So she's going to show them. Kero tells her that is a good ideal. Sakura agrees.
