It is a beautiful, sunny day at the beach. Sakura ,swimming, was enjoying herself. She is very happy because they have a school summer outing at the beach. Sakura's friends called her to the shore so that they will play volleyball. Suddenly, Yamazaki appeared and asked them if they knew about a volleyball story. Sakura says that she doesn't know. Yamazaki told her that the natives then used to use coconuts as volleyball so if they were not careful, they will get hurt. Sakura freaked out but Chiharu calms Sakura down by telling her that Yamazaki is only joking. Naoko comments that Li is a very good swimmer and Tomoyo says that she has been wondering as to why he haven't said a single word eversince they have arrived at the beach.
Mitsuki then came by and asked if she can play with them. Yamazaki called out to Li if he wants to play, too. Li saw Mitsuki with them, then he shook his head and swam farther away. Sakura remembers Li's warning about being be careful with Mitsuki because Mitsuki has 'power' but she still likes Mitsuki. Terada then called out, telling them that it is time to cook dinner. Mitsuki told them that they will play some other time. Yamazaki then starts to tell another story as Chiharu drags him away. Naoko wonders why Chiharu is treating Yamazaki that way. Tomoyo answers that it is because they are together ever since they were in kindergarten so they know each other very well. Rika then glances at Terada and blushes. Sakura asked her what is the matter. Rika was caught of guard then urged the others to go and prepare their dinner.
At Sakura's house, Kerberos was sad about being left alone at the house while Sakura is at the beach. At a sudden rush of emotion, Kerberos bumps into the bookshelf which causes all the books to fall on him. At the other room, Yukito asks Touya if Sakura is still at home for there is a noise. Touya thought that it could be the little stuff toy (Kerberos). Yukito asked where Sakura was and Touya told him that she is in a summer school trip. Yukito then says that Mitsuki must be with them. Yukito thanked Touya for telling him about Mitsuki and that Mitsuki being not the same since the last seven years. Touya then asks Yukito not to talk about this topic anymore. Yukito heard him wrong and thought that Touya must be hungry so Yukito told him that if he is hungry then he should eat. Touya got frustrated for Yukito misunderstood him. Kerberos, under the books says he doesn't like being alone. Then, he saw the clow book and says 'Yue'.
At the beach, Sakura was peeling some potatoes and Chiharu praises her. At the other side, Yamazaki was also praising Li for being good at it, too. Li and Sakura saw each other. Li glared at Sakura and she got a bit scared. Another teacher shouted that dinner was ready. Sakura got their dinner box from Mitsuki. Sakura thanked Mitsuki for the other time and Mitsuki told her not to worry about it and that she was also lost at that time. Sakura asked if she and her brother knows each other. Mitsuki told her that five years ago, she was a student at her brother's high school. As Sakura was about to leave, Mitsuki called out her name then told her that it was nothing and that she will be able to feel it for herself. Sakura was surprised with what she said. Mitsuki then says that they make a delicious food.
At night, the girls are commenting about how delicious was the food they ate. Sakura praises Rika for being a good cook and that she would make a very good wife. Rika denies this as she blushes. Sakura says to herself that she rarely sees Rika like that. Chiharu then told the others that she will close the light. Sakura told Tomoyo that she was happy after eating and swimming. Tomoyo told her that tomorrow there will be a bravery test in the cave. Sakura was scared and surprised. Rika asked if the cave can be seen from the beach. Tomoyo says yes. Naoko then offers to tell a story about the cave, much to Sakura's dismay. Naoko told them about a group of students like them who have went for a summer outing, who ate and swam and that on the second day, there is a bravery test. Chiharu then remembers that in the cave there is a small bridge. Naoko says that there is a small lake in the cave wherein there is a small island with a shrine on it. Naoko continues that the students have to leave a candle on the shrine and leave but everyone disappeared until only one student is left. Naoko says that the teachers were worried and tried to find the student but even the only student left was gone. Chiharu asked what happened to them. As Naoko was about to tell them, they saw a flashlight beam at their window. Everyone hurriedly went to bed. Terada thought everyone is asleep so he left. Everyone was relieved except for Sakura who was really frightened. Naoko told them that she will finish the story tomorrow and everyone went to sleep except Sakura.
Sakura went to the porch for she was very afraid that she can't sleep. She decided to go to Mitsuki to tell her that she is afraid so that, she might calm her down. Sakura ran as fast as she can when somebody called her. She was frightened out of her wits that she shouted out loud. It turned out to be Li and Sakura told him that he had frightened her. Li told her that he too was frightened by her.
Li and Sakura asked each other as to what they were doing outside. Sakura says that she can't sleep. Li told her that he felt a strange presence. Sakura asked if it is a clow card. Li says that the doesn't know. This made Sakura uneasy and she asked if it is a ghost. Li told her that he doesn't know what it is but it is coming from the cave. Sakura then rememered Naoko's story then asked Li to change the topic. Li then told her that he wonders about Mitsuki as to what she is up to. Li asked Sakura if she feels anything. Sakura says that if she sees Mitsuki, she becomes shy. Li told her that a person with 'power' will know if there is another person with 'power'. Sakura asked if he is talking about her. Li admits that she has 'power' since she is able to use the clow cards. Sakura then told him she doesn't feel any scary feeling, only happy ones. Li told her that 'power' has many forms and that she shouldn't trust a person's appearance. Sakura told him that she just feels that way and she can't help it like when Yukito is near. Li then says that it is the same with him. They looked at each other with red blushing faces. They asked each other if they like Yukito and they both affirmed it. Li asked when Sakura liked him. Sakura says that on the first day when her brother came home with him during his first year high school after three weeks. Sakura asked about Li and Li told her that it was when Yukito offered some meat buns. They blushed and thought that it was love at first sight. Sakura says that their age gap with Yukito is a bit big but, they still like him, anyways. Li then told her that they should go to sleep already. At the top of a tree, Mitsuki watches the two disappear into the night. The opening of the cave starts to blur.
The next day, Tomoyo asks if Sakura was able to sleep and Sakura nervously laughs. Tomoyo told her that she should wake her up if she wasn't able to sleep. Sakura says that she will be a bother if she does that and that Li was with her. Sakura then saw the opening of the cave blur and told Tomoyo about it. Tomoyo told her that it will be the place where the bravery test would take place. Sakura is now really afraid and asked Tomoyo to go with her there.
At night, the teacher told everyone that the bravery test will start. They should pass by a bridge and go to a shrine. There, they will leave a candle and they will go back into the same way. They can form into two or three member groups. Li looks suspiciously at Mitsuki while she in turn, smiles. Mitsuki then distributes the candles. Sakura holds Tomoyo's hands saying that it will be their turn soon. Tomoyo then told her that there will be a teacher inside who is going to scare them. Then, it was Chiharu's group's turn and Sakura was surprised for they are next. Mitsuki gave them two candles, one which will be left at the shrine while the other will be used for going out of the cave. Yamazaki comments that Sakura walks like a robot as Sakura and Tomoyo went into the cave. Li looks distrustful at the smiling Mitsuki.
