Chapter 1. Good-bye

(13 Years Ago; USA; 7:00 PM
Sakura and Li are 7 years old) Li finally finished washing the dishes. He reached out for the phone to call his sweetheart, Sakura, but right before he punched the last number of Sakura's phone number, his dad called him and his sister, "Li, Meiling. Please come to our room please." Li gave out a huge sigh and put the phone back on the receiver, he would have to call Sakura later. He went upstairs into his parent's room; Meiling and his mom were on the bed, "What's up dad?" Li said as he took a chair and sat down.

"I've got GREAT news everyone!" Li and Meiling looked at there dad smiling, "YAY! GOOOD NEWS! YAY!" Meiling started yelling. "Woah! Hold on their Ms. Excited! You haven't even heard my great news!" Their dad said with a chuckle. "Ooh. Sorry daddy! What's your good news?" Meiling said smiling. "I got a job in the computer company in Tokyo!" Their dad said with a huge smile. Meiling and Li jumped out of their seats and hugged their dad.

"IN TOKYO? DAD! THAT COMPANY IS THE RICHEST COMPANY ALIVE!" Li yelled happily as he hugged his dad even tighter. "Haha. I know! So pack your bags kids! We're leaving tomorrow!" His dad said. Li let go, "Were leaving? Leaving where?" Li asked, his heart was thumping, 'Please don't say we're moving to Tokyo' Li thought to himself. "We're moving to Tokyo!" his dad said with a huge smile. "But daddy… we have no house there!" Meiling said with a sad face. "Oh yes… your right. We don't have a house… we have a MANSION!" Their dad said. "A MANSION?" Meiling said as she hugged her dad tighter and tighter.

"Come on Li! Lets go pack!" Meiling said as she grabbed her big brother's arm and dragged him into their room. When Meiling finally let go of Li's arm, he escaped. He went downstairs to the kitchen. 'I cant believe we're moving to Tokyo… I cant believe I have to leave Sakura…' he thought to himself. 'How will I tell her?' Li let out a big sad sigh. He slowly took out a piece of paper and a pen and started writing a note, he wrote: 'Sakura, please meet me at the park across the street At 7:00 am. I have something important to tell you.' He went outside and stuck the note in a tree were he and Sakura put their notes; A/N: it was sort of like a mailbox.

Li looked at Sakura's house, then slowly walked to his house. He slowly packed all his belongings into boxes. As soon as everything was packed he fell asleep…

(The Next Day; USA; 6:50 AM)
'Huh? What time is it?' Li said sleepily as he looked at his clock, "OMG! ITS 6:50 AM! I BETTER GET TO THE PARK!" Li said to himself as he jumped out of bed and got dressed. He left a note on the table telling his parents he was at the park and to call him when it was time to go. To Tokyo. He pulled on his sneakers and quietly left the house. He walked to the park in silence. When he got there he grabbed a swing as he waited for Sakura to arrive.

(Meanwhile At Sakura's House; 7:00 AM) YAWN 'Huh? Hm.. Li never called yesterday… Sakura pulled a sweater over her pajama shirt and walked outside to the Mailbox-Tree. 'Huh what's this? Ooh! Its from Li!' She thought to herself as she excitedly opened the note. 'Hm, he wants me to meet him at the park at 7, ook. I have how much time to get ready? WAIT! WHAT! ITS ALREADY 7:20 AM!' Sakura said as she looked twice at her watch. She had no time to change, so she ran all the way to the park. When she finally got to the park she saw Li swinging silently, she started tiptoeing closer and closer when she got close enough she covered his eyes with her hands, "GUESS WHO!" She said smiling "Sakura?" Li answered. "AW! How'd you know? Aha" Sakura said as she grabbed a swing next to him.

"What's up?" Sakura said smiling at Li. 'This is the last time I'll ever see that smile…' Li thought to himself as he looked at her. "What? Is something on my face? Ohmygod! Is it a bug! Li! Ahhh!" Sakura yelled as she violently slapped her face. Li let out a snort-laugh. "Ahah. No. Nothings on your face." Li said with a smile. Sakura looked at him. 'Something is wrong' she thought to herself as she looked at Li. There was silence… "Sakura… I-im moving to Tokyo… today." Li said stuttering. Sakura jumped off of her swing, "WHAT?" "LI! NO. YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME… LI…" Sakura said as she embraced her best friend, her sweetheart. Li slowly embraced her. He could feel tears on his shoulder.

After what seemed like 10 years, Li finally let go. He reached into his pocket, I have something for you. He slowly opened a box, which contained the most beautiful locket. He slowly opened the locket; there was a picture of him on one side and a picture of Sakura on the other side. Sakura wiped her tears away, she looked at Li. Li walked behind Sakura and put the necklace around her neck. "Li.. Its beautiful…" Sakura said as she looked at the locket. "LI! IT'S TIME TO GO! HURRY! WE'LL MISS THE PLANE!" Meiling shouted, as she went inside the car. Sakura looked at Li with pleading eyes. "I will always love you. You were my first love. My only love. I will never find anyone like you…. Please don't forget me…" Li said as he gave Sakura one last embrace. "Li. I love you. I will never forget you. Someday we will meet again…." Sakura said as she let go of her fist love. "Good bye Sakura…." Li said as he turned around and started walking home. "Good bye Li…" Sakura said as she watched him go. She watched him step into his car. She watched him leave the driveway….

She held her locket tightly, as she cried. She sat down on the swing, which Li was swinging on. She cried and cried… "One day we will meet again Li…" She said as she slowly got off the swing and walked home…
