Kero: He-ey!! *One hand on hip the other pointing across the room* Sakura: *Rubs eyes* Wha? Kero: *Sweatdrop* Sakura: *Looks across the room at the clock* 8:30!! (Downstairs in the kitchen) Sakura: *Upstairs* AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I'M LATE!! Touya: *Sweatdrop* Hurry up, Monster! (Back in Sakura's room) Kero: I tried to call you but, no, you just rolled over the whacked me to the other side of the room! *Rubbing the bump on his head* Sakura: *Blush* Sorry about Kero!! *Pulls her school skirt up and zips it* Kero: You have any idea how much that hurts? Sakura: I told you I'm sorry!! *Pulls her sweater over her head* Kero: Ah well at leas- (Door opens) Kero: *Falls onto the bed like a doll* Touya: Aren't you ready yet? Sakura: *Freaking out* Touya! I was changing!! *Throws pillow at the door* Touya: Sorry Squirt but it's almost 8:35. *Throws the pillow back at Sakura messing her hair* Sakura: *Grumbles and closes the door* Kero: *Sweatdrop and sighs* I wish he'd stop doing that. Sakura: *Smiles* Well I'm leaving now, bye! *Plants a kiss on Kero's head and runs out the door* (Sakura runs down her driveway onto the sidewalk heading to school) Sakura: I would be much easier on rollerblades, but no, Touya had to give them away. *Scowling, Sakura smashes into someone* Sakura: *Sprawled on the ground* Oh! I'm so sorry I- *Looks up* Young man: *Smiles* Sakura: Syaoran? Syaoran: *Nods* Sakura: *Stares at him briefly in disbelief* ... I thought... Syaoran: My business in Hong Kong is done. Sakura: *Smiles in happiness, then hurls herself towards him wrapping her arms around him* We'll never be separated again!! Syaoran: *Nods* Umm hmm.. *Smiling, he takes a deep breath in. He smells the sweet scent of cherries in her hair* (Unknown to Sakura and Syaoran, a few metres behind them, Tomoyo was watching from behind a tree) Tomoyo: Oh Sakura, I love you, but I hope you're happy with Li-kun ..... (At school) Sakura: *Stretches in her seat* Tomoyo: *Looks over at Sakura and whispers* Sakura, don't do that, you know how strict Ms. Lensa is! Sakura: *shrug* That's her problem. Tomoyo: *Thinks to herself* Sakura, you changed so much.... Sakura: *Yawns* Ms. Lensa: Kinomoto Sakura, do you have a problem? (The entire class falls silent. Sakura has never gotten in trouble) Sakura: ... *Smiles and stands up* Actually yes I do! (The entire class gasps. No one has ever talked back to Ms. Lensa) Ms. Lensa: *Eyes Sakura* ..... Sakura: *Confidently* These chairs are much too uncomfortable and the design is very bad for the posture of the students. We are here to learn and learn best in a safe and comfortable environment. (The entire class is silent once again waiting for Ms. Lensa) Ms. Lensa: Well young lady, you sure are talkative today. Let us see how well you fare on a pop quiz in math shall we? Sakura: *Shrugs* This has nothing to do with mathematics but ok! Ms. Lensa: *Scowling* Sit out in the hallway and do these problems! Sakura: Ok! *Takes the sheets of paper and heads outside* Chiharu: *Whispering to Yamakazi* Sakura has changed. Yamakazi: *Smiles and kisses Chiharu's cheek* I don't care, I have you! Chiharu: That's sweet but- Ms. Lensa: Chiharu, is there something you want to share with the class? Chiharu: *Blush* Uh, no miss. Ms. Lensa: Then pay attention! Tomoyo: *Still staring at the door* Oh Sakura...... (After school) Tomoyo: Sakura!!! Sakura: *Turns around* Oh hi there Tomoyo-chan! Tomoyo: Sakura, I've been meaning to ask you something. Sakura: *Smiles* Sure! Tomoyo: .... you've changed a lot since Syaoran came back... Sakura: *Eyes open wide* I have?!? Tomoyo: .... Oh forget it, it's just my imagination... *Thinks* Maybe if I tell her again, she'll understand me. Sakura: ??? Tomoyo: I love you Sakura. Sakura: *Beams happily* I love you too, Tomoyo! Syaoran: Sakura!! Sakura: *Looks up and her face lifts higher* Li-Kun!! *Runs to him and hugs him* Tomoyo: *Sadly thinking* She still doesn't understand..... Syaoran: *Still in a hug with Sakura* How was your day? Sakura: *Chuckle* Boring as usual. Tomoyo: *Thinking* She'll never understand.... *The ground in front of her becomes blurry* Syaoran: What did you do today? Sakura: The teacher had another fit. Right Tomoyo-chan? *looks back at Tomoyo* Tomoyo: I- *Faints* Sakura: Tomoyo! *Runs and catches her before he hits the ground* Tomoyo: *Eyes open* ..... where? .... where am I? Voice: She's coming around! Tomoyo: *Focusing on her surroundings* I'm- I'm Doctor: You're in the hospital. You friends brought you here but they had to go. But before they left, they called your mother. She should be here soon. *Leaves the room* Tomoyo: *Nods and thinks* She didn't even stay... Sonomi: *Running down the hallway and into the room* Tomoyo! Tomoyo: *Turns her head* Sonomi: Tomoyo! Are you alright? *Puts her hand on her daughters face* Tomoyo: I'm fine. Sonomi: No you're not. I'm your mother, I can tell. What's wrong? Tomoyo: *Heaving a sigh, she looks out the window and sees a familiar face in the clouds with cherry blossoms flying past in the wind* It's- it's... I love Sakura... Sonomi: *Looks at her daughter and the single tear running down her cheek* Oh Tomoyo, I understand. Tomoyo: *Turns her head back and looks at her mother* You do? Sonomi: *Thinking back to Nadesico* Yes. *Taking Tomoyo's hand* Tomoyo: Mom.... Doctor: *Knocks on door* Excuse me for interrupting but may I speak with you Mrs. Daidouji? Sonomi: *Confused* Of course. *Looks at Tomoyo and smiles* I'll be right back. Tomoyo: *Nods* Ok *Turns head to look out the window at the blooming cherry tree* (A few minutes later, Sonomi returns into the room with a smile on a pale face) Tomoyo: Mom? What's wrong? Sonomi: Oh nothing. Tomoyo: *Studying her mothers face and thinks* Something isn't right. Sonomi: Tomoyo.... you.... you... Tomoyo: *Looking at her mom searchingly* Mom? Sonomi: You.... have cancer... Tomoyo: *Eyes widen* I.... Sonomi: *Hugging her daughter tightly* Tell her how you feel now before you lose her! Just like... like.. I lost Nadesico.... Tomoyo: *Tears brimming her eyes* I- I- c-can't. Sonomi: *Tears running down her cheeks* You must... or you'll lose her forever! (Next day at school) Sakura: *In Syaoran's arms* I love you more. Syaoran: No I love you more! Sakura: Quit dreaming!! I love you a zillion times more! Syaoran: No! I love you with all my heart! Sakura: *Turns to Tomoyo* Tomoyo-chan tell him that I love him more! Tomoyo: *Blushes* Well, I- I don't know. I shouldn't get involved. Syaoran: *To Sakura* See? I win. Sakura: Oh Syaoran... ..... .... why are you starring at me? Syaoran: Because you're beautiful. Sakura: *Turns pink* Oh Li-kun... Tomoyo: *Watching in pain* Sakura.... Syaoran: *Kisses Sakura's cheek* I have a present for you. Sakura: You do? Syaoran: Ya, I'll be right back. It's only in my locker. *Runs off* Sakura: Silly, Li-kun.... I wonder what it is? What do you think Tomoyo? Tomoyo: *Thinks* This is my chance to tell her... (Tomoyo thinking back to what the doctor had said) Doctor: Only about a day or two. It spread too fast and she was brought into the hospital too late. These are her last days alive... Sakura: Tomoyo-chan? What's wrong? Tomoyo: .. I- I-... *deep breath* Sakura... I love.. I love... .... .... I love the way Syaoran is so sweet towards you. Sakura: *Smiles* I know. Isn't he perfect? Tomoyo: *Heart drops* Ya... perfect... (Thats night, Tomoyo is sleeping over at Sakura's house) Sakura: This rose quartz crystal necklace is beautiful! Don't you think Li-kun went overboard on this, Tomoyo? Tomoyo: *Sad smile* No, I think it suits you. Sakura: Thx! Kero: *Grumbling* Go to bed! Tomoyo: *Weak smile* I'm happy for you Sakura. Sakura: Oh Tomoyo-chan! Li-kun has never thought of me this way! Thinking back makes me realize that we've come so far. I love him so much! Kero: *Angry* I can't sleep here!! You'll find me in the living room tomorrow morning!! *Flies out of the room* Sakura: Whoops. Tomoyo: *Thinks* Now's my chance. If I don't say something now, I have to go back to the hospital and I'll never see Sakura again! Sakura: *Waves hand in front of Tomoyo* Earthy Card to Tomoyo-chan? Anyone home? Tomoyo: *Hugs Sakura so suddenly, it surprises her* Oh Sakura, I love you! Sakura: *A little surprised* I love you too Tomoyo! You're my best friend! Tomoyo: *Holding Sakura's shoulders and looks deep into her eyes* No. *Shakes her head* No Sakura. You don't understand. I love you MORE than just a friend. Sakura: *Stares at Tomoyo* Tomoyo: I have cancer Sakura!! I'm going to die!! Sakura: *Stares at Tomoyo* Tomoyo: *Looks at Sakura* Sakura? *Shakes her* Sakura! (Sakura is limp, just like a doll) Tomoyo: She's gone. ... .... SAKURA!!!!!!!!!............. Machine: Beep. Beep. Beeeeeeeeppppp....... Doctor: She's gone. Sonomi: TOMOYO!!!! *Grabs her daughter and buries her face in Tomoyo's sweet black hair* Tomoyo..... ..... ... You didn't tell her..... .... Doctor: We've lost her. .... I'm sorry.
