Cardcaptor Marine

Episode 1:  The New Cardcaptor

While sleeping, a female raccoon had a wierd dream where she was on the roof of a building, wearing a strange costume and wielding a staff, and being joined by a creature as card were flying in the wind.  As soon as she saw herself jumping off a roof, as the shoes formed wings, she woke up as the alarm clock rang, clad in her green pajama shirt and pants.

"Crikey, what a wierd dream,"Marine said.

"Marine, breakfast is ready," a male voice said.

"I'm coming," Marine said as she got up and threw her sleep clothes off, and put on socks, a white skirt, and a black sailor-like shirt with a white collar and bow with red trim.

"My name is Marine The Raccoon.  I'm a ten-year-old lass attending Sol Elementary School.  I love P.E. and music, but I hate math."

Marine got done with her morning routine, which included tying her hair into pigtails, and brushing her teeth, as she came downstairs to see a female cat in a white button-down shirt, blue tie, and black skirt.

"You got ready quick, matey," the cat said.

"I did, sis," Marine said as Blaze put her mug on Marine's head.

"I bet you're so on fire, you can reheat my tea," the cat said.

"Hey, my head is not a mug warmer,"Marine said.

"This is Blaze The Cat, my older sister.  She may tease me sometimes, but she is a kind soul who has always protected me."

"Blaze, you're too old to be teasing Marine," a voice said as a male cat came in with breakfast.

"I know, dad, but I just can't help it," Blaze said.

"And this is my dad,  Flame The Cat.  He is an archeologist.  You may wonder why a raccoon girl like me live with a cat and his daughter.  As an ankle biter, my real parents abandoned me, and Flame adopted me, as she lost his wife at the time.  Thankfully, Blaze warmed up to me quickly."

Soon, Marine and Blaze arrived at the schools, as Marine wore roller blades and Blaze was on a bike.

"Do good as usual, squirt, and I'll see you at lunchtime," Blaze said.

"Same to you, sis," Blaze said.  This made Blaze giggle as she went to the high school, which was next door to the elementary school.  Later, as Marine got her roller blades off and put her shoes on, she heard a voice behind her.

"This is an aerial shot of the normal ten-year-old raccoon girl getting ready for the start of the school day.  She is changing to her normal footwear and...," the voice said as Marine turned to see a rabbit in the same uniform recording with a camcorder.

"Cream, you know the teacher will make you stay after school for detention if she caught you flying inside the school again," Marine said, causing the rabbit to land.

"Aw, you ruined a good aerial shot," Cream said.

"This is my best friend, Cream The Rabbit.  Her mom, Vanilla, owns a movie studio, and Cream wants to be a movie maker, but she seems to focus only on me," Marine said.  The school day went like any other, with Marine doing well in reading and cheerleading practice.  However, when she came home, she saw the house was empty, as Flame has written he would be late.

"Looks like dad's working overtime again," Marine said, when suddenly, she heard a loud hsnoring noise.  Getting her baton and following it, she went into the basement, where her father's study was.  She pulled out a book that the snoring sound came from.

"The Clow," Marine said when suddenly, the lock snapped open, allowing her to open the book.  She saw an image, and picking it up, she found it was a card.

"Windy," Marine said, reading the title.  Suddenly, a wind blew in the basement, sucking up all the cards but the one she read.  As she was confused, a small animal came out.

"Oh, dear, I really messed up big time," Marine said as the animal flew in front of her.

"I think we both messed up," the animal said.  Marine was shocked and grabbed it, looking for an off switch.

"What is this thing?  Some kind of plushie," Marine said.

"Actually, I am not a stuffed animal.  My name is Chip," the animal said.  Later, Marine and Chip talked, as Marine was in her pajamas.

"So, you heard me snoring?  So embarassing, but if the book unlocked, then you must possess magical powers, so maybe we can fix this," Chip said.

"Are you sure, mate," Marine asked.

"I am.  You may have opened the book, but I was the one who slept on the job," Chip said as the key came out. With a chant, the key became a wand, and Marine grabbed it.

"With this, I declare you Cardcaptor Marine," Chip said.

"Whoa, that's one ripper of a title," Marine said.  From that day, her life would take a turn, as he was now a Cardcaptor, tasked with capturing the escaped Clow Cards with the aid of Chip.
