A/N: This used to be on my other ID so I just thought I'd repost it.


Chapter One: Happy Birthday Sakura!

Sakura wakes up on a very bright Monday morning. She sat up in her bed and poked Kero, a very cute creature who could pass as a stuffed animal any day. "Good morning, Kero." She said yawning.

Kero opens his eyes and floats to the eye level of Sakura. "Mornin'…oh and happy 17th birthday, kiddo.

Sakura smiled sweetly. "Thanks, Kero." She then got out of bed and walked over to her dresser. She looked at a picture that sits on top, it was a picture of her and her loved one, Li. She picked it up and looked at it. "Li…it's been five years since I have seen your face…five years since I confessed my love for you."

Kero flew over to Sakura's side. "You really miss him don't you, Sakura?

Sakura nodded. "Yeah…I hope he comes back sometime soon, Kero.

Kero patted her on the back. "I'm sure he will…and when he does…I'm sure you'll be the first to know."

Sakura nodded. "Yeah."

"But until then, you need to get to school on time and get good grades." Kero said pointing to the clock.

Sakura looked at the clock, which read 7:20. Her eyes widened. "Oh no! I'm gonna be late!" Sakura quickly opened her drawer and pulled out her High School Uniform. She closed the drawer by kicking it. She signal Kero to turn around, who did on command. She put on her uniform and grabbed her book bag, which was sitting on her desk chair, and sat it on the floor. She grabbed her shoes and shoved them in her book bag. She then grabbed her roller blades and she ran out of her bedroom.

Kero flew over to the door. "Have a good day, kiddo."

Sakura ran down the stairs and towards the little step thingy by the door. She sat down and began to put on her roller blades.

Tory, Sakura's 21-year-old brother walked into the room. "Running late again, squirt?"

"Be quite, Tory." Sakura said angrily while she slipped on her other roller blade. She stood up and walked out the door. "See ya, Tory!"

"Later squirt!" He yelled back.

Sakura skated away.

Sakura arrived at school a couple of minutes later. She sees her best friend Madison waving at her. Sakura waves as she nears her. "Hey!" Sakura skids to a halt in front of Madison.

Madison smiled. "Hey Sakura, you made it."

Sakura smiled back. "Yeah barely." She sat down on the ground and she took off her roller blades.

Madison bent down to Sakura's level. "Did you do your Homework, Sakura?"

Sakura slipped on both her shoes and tied them. She looked up to Madison. "Yep." She then stood up.

Madison stood up also.

They both began to walk towards the school.

"So…has Li written to you lately?" Madison asked.

Sakura looked down at the ground. "Of course he has."

Madison looked over to Sakura and noticed that she was upset. A sympathetic look appeared on Madison's face. "Oh I'm so sorry, Sakura…I didn't mean to upset you…especially on your birthday…by the way I got something for you." She reached into her backpack and pulled out a gift that was wrapped with rainbow wrapping paper with a pink bow on it. She handed it to Sakura.

Sakura took the gift from Madison, Sakura looked at the gift happily. "Thanks Madison…can I open it?"

Madison nodded. "Of course you can."

They both stopped walking and Sakura began to open it. When Sakura got down unwrapping the gift a little black box was reviled. Sakura opened the box and Sakura's eyes widened. A beautiful necklace with a golden star was inside. "Oh my god Madison…It's beautiful!"

Madison smiled. "It's a locket…you could put a picture of you and Li in it if you wanted."

Sakura couldn't stop smiling. "Thank you so much, Madison." She hugged Madison, who returned the hug. "Your welcome, Sakura.
