Time to find Hope
Chapter 1




" Sakura..."
Sakura opened her eyes to see that she was lying over a beautiful lake surrounded by
Cherry blossoms. She sat up and looked around her, she blinked; not everything was clear.
" Sakura..." There the voice came again. Sakura looked around her; no one was in
sight. " Hello?" Sakura said in a frighten voice. The voice came again.
" Sakura.." The voice trailed off as it said her name again. The voice sounded like a
female to Sakura.
" Who are you?" Sakura asked. She sat there not moving, scared that if she moved she
would fall into the lake, to her, she was floating. She looked at herself, she was wearing
a white spaghetti strapped tank top and white shorts, she was bare foot. She looked
down at the beautiful blue water, she saw her reflection, and her hair was put up into
two pigtails, like she has always had it. To her, it seemed like she was a couple of inches
from the water, she wanted to touch the water; but was afraid to, thinking that if she
touched anything it would break. She looked around again; she noticed that it was silent
now. Sakura sighed and looked around again; just as she was about to give up hope
trying to find someone, something shinnying was coming from in the water. She stared
as the glowing thing slowly moved out of the water to reveal it's self as a girl just as
old as Sakura. She seemed almost like Sakura, but with blonde hair, a bit longer, and
beautiful crystal blue eyes. Her eyes stared at Sakura with hope and care. As Sakura
looked at her she noticed that the girl was wearing white robes. She looked familiar
though.
" Sakura.." It was her. She was the one calling Sakura. Sakura looked at her.
" What do you want from me?" Sakura asked knowing that these dreams always
meant something.either good or bad. The girl did not talk, she just handed Sakura
one of the clow cards, but it wasn't one of the originals; It was different. Sakura took
the card, but before looking at it she said. " Is this your card? Are you a clow card?"
The girl did not answer Sakura, all she did was smile. Sakura finally looked at the card,
she then frowned. In the card was a picture of..Li.wearing his green robe and holding
his sword in front of him, with his eyes closed. To Sakura he seemed sad. She looked up
at the girl. " What does this mean? Is..Is Li a clow card?" The girl did not answer as a
familiar bell, ringed though Sakura's ear and woke her up...

Sakura laid on the floor, she stared up into space and said aloud. " What does that mean.?"
Kero rubbed his eyes.
" What do you think the ringing mean? It means it's time to get up!" He looked at Sakura,
wondering why she wasn't answering him. " Sakura?" She finally looked at him.
" Kero! What time is it?" Kero looked at the clock on top of her dresser.
" Let's see.it's 6:50.you have time today." He smiled. " That's a first, Sakura! You're
getting lucky!" Suddenly the door opened. It was Sakura's brother, Tori. Kero instantly
froze and fell on the floor.
" Sakura! Time to get up! Oh! You are up.Why are you on the floor?"
" I um...sort of had a bad dream.nothing much though!" Tori eyed her a moment.
" Okay." He said and rolled his eyes. " If you want to ride with me and Julian to school,
you better hurry. We're leaven early today!" He looked at Kero a second and then shut
the door. Kero sighed in relieve.
" Man! I thought he would have me there!" Sakura sat up.
" Yeah..." She said not so thrilled. She was still having complications with that dream. It
was just so weird..was Li actually a clow card? Sakura didn't like the sound of that.she
had to tell someone..but who? She couldn't tell Kero.he would be thrilled that he had to go.
Li.he would just think she was insane, and Madison...she would ask Madison. Kero looked
at her.
" You want to talk?" Sakura's heart said yes...but she mind said.
" No.I'm gonna be late!" She said and got dressed in a hurry.

She skated by Julian and her brother in silence, usually she would make a remark to him.but she
was so troubled with this dream.
" HEY! SQUIRT!" She looked up.
" WHAT!?" Tori looked at her funny.
" You okay? You're not talking much!" Sakura knew that he was getting worried.
" Sakura...you feel okay? You look sort of green." Said Julian.
" I'm fine...Let's get to school." Tori and Julian looked at each other and shrugged.

As Sakura walked into the schoolyards, she immediately spotted Li. She blushed thinking of that
dream. ` Oh, Madison.where are you? If you don't show up..I'm gonna explode! If your not
here.I'm gonna have to tell Li!'
" Sakura!" Sakura screamed. She turned around to see Madison. " You okay? You look red."
Sakura shook her head no.
" I have to tell you something Madison." Madison got a worried face.
" Is something bad gonna happen? Is it something of the Clow cards?" Sakura didn't know and
pointed to a seat and told her to sit down. She had a lot to tell.

After explaining what happened in her dream, she looked down. " What does that dream mean
Madison? Does it mean.that ..Li.is Li a clow card?" She felt miserable. If Li was a Clow
Card, she would have to seal him; but her and Li are good friends, that help each other. The
dream had to mean something else. Madison thought long and hard a moment.
" I think the best way for you to figure this out is to tell Li, or Kero! They would possibly know
more than I would on Clow Cards." Sakura nodded.
" I'll tell Li during recess." Suddenly the bell rang for class. Sakura and Madison went into the
school and went to their classes.

At recess, Sakura sat on the steps. She could not concentrate on anything. She must tell Li about
her dream. She then thought back to when the girl gave her the card.what did it say on the bottom?
She was too busy looking at the picture to see the bottom. Maybe it wasn't Li, maybe it was something
about Li that the dream was trying to worn her about. As she thought she missed her chance to see Li,
he had passed her. He was on the top of the steps talking to one of his friends, she was on the bottom.
Suddenly, the bell rang. Sakura sighed and went to class. Sakura sat in front of Li in this class she was
in, She could not concentrate though. She looked out the window and remembered some things from her
dream.

FLASHBACK:

` The girl did not talk, she just handed Sakura one of the clow cards, but it wasn't one of the
originals; It was different. Sakura took the card, but before looking at it she said. " Is this your
card? Are you a clow card?" The girl did not answer Sakura, all she did was smile.'

` Smile..why did she only smiled? It was like she was a Clow Card.'

` Sakura finally looked at the card, she then frowned. In the card was a picture of..Li.wearing
his green robe and holding his sword in front of him, with his eyes closed. To Sakura he seemed
sad.'

` Why was Li sad, in the picture? It doesn't make sense.' The teacher went on and on; to Sakura he
would not stop for a long time. With out Sakura noticing she was asleep on her desk.

" Sakura.." There she was again, in her dream. This time she was in the forest near the lake.
The forest was covered with Cherry Blossom trees, she looked at herself thinking that she was still
in her white clothes, she wasn't. She was in a Robin Hood type suit. Sakura looked confused a moment.
" One minute I'm in white the next I'm in green. This is weird!" Sakura looked around her, she
decided to sit down while she waited for that girl to appear. She looked at the Cheery Blossom
trees for awhile, then at the ground. She saw that beside her was the clow card that had the picture
of Li. She picked it up and took a look at it again. It was still the same picture, but Li looked sadder
than ever. Sakura looked at the bottom for the name, the name read.. ` The Hope.' " The Hope?"
Sakura whispered, as she looked at the picture again. " Li is hope?" Suddenly Sakura heard the
voice again.
" Sakura.." Sakura looked up and saw the girl on a branch just a few inches from her. She
smiled and then jumped down. She was just as tall as Sakura; Sakura noticed she was wearing
a green dress, like she was a fairy.
" Who are you?" The girl smiled at Sakura, she then looked at the card that Sakura held in her
hands. She pointed to the card. Sakura nodded. " Yes.what does this mean? What does the
clow card of Hope mean? What does it have to do with Li?" The girl just smiled and held out
her hand. In her hand was another clow card, just as different as ` The Hope' card. Sakura
took the card. " What is this?" The girl smiled again and looked at the card, like she really
wanted Sakura to see what it was. Sakura flipped over the card that had a picture of a woman
that had a knife in her hands. She looked depressed and sad, like the world was ending around
her and there was no hope. On the bottom it read. ` The Danger.' " The Danger?" Sakura
was even more confused, why was this girl giving her cards that had weird things on it. The
girl nodded, she pointed to the two cards thinking that Sakura would understand. Sakura
didn't. The girl took the cards and gave ` The Danger' card to her first, then gave her ` The
Hope' card. Sakura still didn't understand and would possibly never get it because then she
heard another voice..almost like a whisper, it sounded like Madison.
" Sakura! Wake up!"

Sakura opened her eyes, and saw Madison stand over her. " Sakura! You were out of it, weren't
you?" Sakura rubbed her eyes. She looked down at her desk.
" What's going on? Is class over?" Madison looked at Sakura.
" How long have you been out..Yes.class is over. How could you sleep like that the whole
time?" Sakura rubbed her head.
" I don't know." She looked up at Madison. " I had that dream again." Madison's face began
to go pale.
" Again? What happened?"
" Well, nothing was the same this time, I was not in the lake, I was by it, I was in green. I saw the
card that Li was in, its name is called ` The Hope' card. The girl she gave me another card."
" Li? The Hope card?" Madison got a weird look on her face. " What was this other card?"
" It was called The Danger card."
" The Danger?" Madison put her hand to her face and thought a moment. " Well, let's try and not
figure this out know, let's go home and fix some cookies! That will make you feel better Sakura!"
" I guess." Sakura said and grabbed her stuff, and walked out of the door with Madison.

Sakura and Madison were walking down the street, on their way home to Sakura's house. On
these streets they were walking on, they had shops all over. Sakura and Madison were quiet the
whole time, Madison had to do something, Sakura was just thinking about her dream. Suddenly
Madison stopped and looked at a sign; she smiled, then noticed that Sakura was still walking.
" HEY! Sakura!" Sakura turned around and saw that she was far away from Madison. She ran
back to her.
" Yes, Madison. What's going on?" Madison looked at Sakura then pointed her finger at the
sign. Sakura looked at the sign and then read aloud. " Win free trip for four to Hawaii." Sakura
looked at Madison. " Do you want to enter?" Madison smiled.
" Think of it Sakura! Get a break from school, and you and me and two others can go with us
and relax! Plus you need it, you're way to stressed." Sakura looked at it, the contest ended
tomorrow.
" Fine, but we won't win." Sakura said grabbing an entry, Madison grabbed an entry too and
they both entered.
" Well, we'll see." Madison smiled and they walked off to Sakura's house.

At Sakura's house, Kero was hovering around them complaining it was taking so long for them
to cook the cookies. Sakura got angry and told Kero that if he wasn't going to be quiet he
would not get any cookies. Kero got quiet and sat on Madison's shoulder. Madison would
pass him some cookie doe to eat until the cookies were done. It was Sakura's favorite cookie,
the Chocolate chip cookie. " Yum! I can't wait till they are done!" Madison giggled.
" You're just as bad as Kero."
" Hey.I resent that remark!" Kero said as Madison laughed at Sakura who was smiling a goofy
smile. Then they heard the door open and close, it was Tori and Julian. Kero immediately froze
on Madison's shoulder. It was a good thing she was wearing a hood. Tori and Julian came into
the kitchen.
" Hey! What smells so good?" Julian said smelling the air.
" Chocolate Chip Cookies!" Sakura said blushing. Julian smiled.
" They smell good!" Sakura's smile got bigger.
" I'll give you guys some, if you want!" Sakura said blushing more. Tori smiled and patted
Sakura's head.
" Okay, bring them to my room, Squirt." Tori said going out the door to his room, Julian
was following him. Sakura frowned as they left, then she saw Tori return she straightened
up. " Oh! And don't drop them!" He said leaving finally. She frowned again and turned
to Madison and sweatdropped.
" You know.I'm sort of hoping that we win that trip!" Sakura said while putting on a
smile at the thought. " It would do me good getting away from Tori!" Madison smiled.
" I think anyone would want to get away from their siblings." Madison giggled, Sakura giggled
too. Kero looked at them.
" What trip?"
" Well, Sakura and I stopped by a store and signed up for a trip for four to Hawaii." Madison
said smiling at Kero. " And if Sakura's luck is true, we'll win! Sakura's always lucky!" Sakura
smile faded.
" I'm not always lucky." Madison smiled and changed the subject by looking at the cookies.
" Oh! I think the cookies are done!" Madison grabbed a mitten and got the cookies out of the
oven. " Try to forget your troubles and feel better with a cookie!" She said giving Sakura a
cookie. Sakura smiled and took it. She ate the cookie and looked at Madison.
" I do feel a little bit better!" Madison all of a sudden looked at her watch and sighed.
" I have to go now! Feel better Sakura!" Sakura smiled as Madison left out the door.
Kero came up to her shoulder and said into her ear.
" You feel bad?" Sakura shook her head no.
" I'm fine, Honest!" She knew it was a lie, but she didn't want Kero knowing. She
then looked at the cookies and placed some onto a plate. " Well, I guess I better give
Tori and Julian their cookies." She grabbed the cookies and left to Tori's room.

Later that night Sakura was in her pajamas getting ready for bed and school in the
morning. She put Kero into his little bed and she soon turned off the lights. She
was asleep as soon as she hit the pillow.

" Sakura.."
Sakura looked around herself, she was in her dream again. This time, she
was in a clearing, the field was full of green grass and Cherry Blossom trees surrounded
the place. Sakura examined herself; She was wearing a Baby blue outfit that matched the
sky. Sakura knew that it was either tonight that she would finally understand what the girl
was trying to tell her. She saw a stump not to far from her and sat herself down, She looked
around. She was trying to get a good look at the place, trying to see if she knew where this
was. Then looking on the ground, face down, were the two cards the girl gave her. ` The Hope'
card and ` The Danger' card. Sakura didn't understand. What was this girl trying to tell her?
Sakura picked up the two cards, and looked at them. Still the same image on the cards.
Nothing changed. She thought a second; " The girl gave them to me in an order." Sakura
looked at ` The Hope' card. " She gave me this card first!" She looked at it. " Is the card
suppose to mean that Li is my hope?" She looked at Li a little longer. " Let's see..." She
thought back. " I would not have the cards I have if it wasn't for Li..Li's the one that
helped me get them." Sakura looked around. " Is that it? Is Li the hope in getting all the
Clow cards?"
" Sakura..." Sakura looked around, there was the girl. She came up to Sakura, and
sat down beside her. " Sakura, I can not help you in figuring out these cards, only you
can figure them out." Sakura looked at her.
" You finally talked..Who are you?" The girl smiled and shook her head, but did not
speak. Sakura groaned. " You won't speak will you?" The girl still smiling looked at
Sakura with care in her eyes. She then held out her hand to reveal another clow card.
" Another one?" Sakura took the card, but didn't look at it. " What do all these clow
cards mean?" The girl still didn't speak but motioned for her to look at the card. Sakura
sighed and flipped it over. On the card was another girl, she had her eyes opened and
looked like she was flying..on the bottom of the card it said.. ` The Lookout.' Sakura
looked at the girl again. " What does this mean?" The girl smiled almost like saying.
` You know I won't answer so stop asking me!' She got up and disappeared. Sakura
watched her, but then said. " PLEASE! Don't leave! Help me out!" But the girl left.
Sakura kept looking at the cards and tried to figure them out, then a familiar ring
came in..and the dream ended.

Sakura opened her eyes. " But..but what do they mean?" Kero flew over her.
" What do what mean?" Sakura looked at him.
" Oh! Kero!" She got up from the floor. " I had a dream that's all."
" Is it like any other dream you have been having?"
" No...everything is fine." Sakura said as she was getting ready for school.
" You sure?" Sakura nodded as she put on her socks. Suddenly a ring came through the
air. " I thought you turned off that alarm clock." Kero said.
" It's not the alarm clock, it's the phone!" Sakura ran over to the phone and picked it up.
" I got it!" She yelled as she answered it. " Hello, Sakura speaking."
" Yes, you are Miss Sakura Avalon, am I correct?"
" Yes...Is this advertisement? We don't want any." She was about to hang up when she
heard a loud.
" NO! We're not! We're not advertisement!" Sakura picked up the phone again.
" Yeah? Then who are you?" Sakura asked waiting for an answer.
" Listen! You just won a trip for four to Hawaii!" Sakura's eyes went wide.
" W.w.what?"
" Yes! You just won a free trip to Hawaii, You will spend a month in a beautiful hotel, first
class stuff of course; and a first class plane trip to Hawaii. Where the motto is you must have
fun." Sakura was shocked.
" When do I leave?"
" You leave today! We'll have someone pick you and your friends up for the first class plane
trip! Be there around twelve, Bye! ` Click'" Sakura placed down the phone.
" I can't believe it!"
" Can't believe what?" Kero asked.
" I won a free month vacation for four to Hawaii!" Sakura was so happy, but she thought.
" What a minute! I know Madison and me are going, but we also need an adult there, and
one more person." She thought a second. " I better pack, get to school and Madison and I
will figure this out later!" Sakura immediately packed her bags and ran down the stairs
where her father, her brother, and Julian were eating breakfast.
" Hey, Squirt! You came down here before I could get a chance to wake you up." Sakura
looked at him and smiled.
" Whatever Tori! I'm not going to fall for your tricks today! I have really good news!"
" Yeah? What is it Sakura?" Julian asked putting a piece of toast in his mouth.
" I won a free trip for four to Hawaii!" Sakura beamed.
" Good going hunny!" Sakura's dad said. " But who is going with you? I mean, there will be
a parental unit there, right?"
" Yeah..I was going to ask you that! Could you go with me dad?"
" I'm sorry hunny, I can't."
" What about you Tori? Julian?"
" School won't let me out for a vacation, well, not until schools over." Tori said.
" I can't either, sorry Sakura, I would love to go, but I'm to busy." Sakura sighed.
" Then who will go with me? I have to go at Noon."
" I bet you'll find someone!" Julian said looking at his watch. " I bet you can find a teacher to
go with you! All your teachers love you, but you can decide that later. It's time to go, come
on Tori! Sakura!" Julian , Tori, and Sakura ran out the door.
" Have a nice day!" Mr. Avalon said. " Oh! And Sakura! I'll pick you and your friends up,
so you can get ready to go! BYE!"

When she got to her school, she went up to Madison in class and cheerfully said. " Guess
what Madison!" Madison knew she was happy today.
" You're really happy so that has to be good!" Madison thought a second. " Okay.I give
...What is it?" Sakura's smile got bigger.
" We won a free trip for four to Hawaii!" Sakura saw Madison's face get happy too.
" We.We WON!" She jumped up and down. " Oh MY! Who else are we taking with
us?" Sakura shrugged. Madison looked around the room. " Who should we invite?"

" So, Rita, you can't go?"
" Mom, says that I need to work on school a bit longer, I need to bring up my grades."
" What about you Chelsea?"
" I can't either! My mom says I can only take vacations on holidays! Sorry guys!" Madison
sighed while everyone left.
" We asked everyone!"
" Except Li!" Sakura pointed out, she just made a face.
" Did you just say, you wanted to invite Li!" Sakura's face turned bright red.
" Yeah! He is a friend! It wouldn't be right to not ask him!" Sakura's face was still red.
" Well, okay! Invite him! He's our last chance to go!" Sakura looked around, hoping to
spot Li somewhere, and there he was talking to Zachary. Sakura walked up to Li and tugged
on his sleeve. Li turned around and saw Sakura.
" Yes, Sakura?" He was wondering why she wanted to talk to him, maybe about the clow
cards.
" Well, um..Li." She looked over at the empty spot away from the others. " Can I talk to
you?" Li looked at Zachary and said he would be back. He walked over to where Sakura
was.
" Yes?" Sakura blushed.
" Well, Um.." She was so nervous. Li blushed too. He had never had to have something
by Sakura whispered to him. Sakura finally spoke. " Li! Would you want to go on a trip to
Hawaii with Madison and me?" Li was held back, Sakura wanted him to go. He thought a
moment, and blushed at the thought of being with Sakura.
" How long would we be gone?"
" A month." Li thought some more. ` A month away from everyone, except for Madison,
to be with Sakura.' To Sakura, he would probably say no. She felt bad when he didn't
speak for awhile.
" Sure." He said as plainly as he could even though he was excited. " When do we go?"
Sakura was so thrilled that Li was going, now it was time to find the adult.
" We leave at twelve!" She smiled. " Thank you LI!" She hugged him. " We're going to
have a great time!" Li blushed bright red, Sakura was hugging him. He could only muster.
" Your welcome!" Then the teacher came in and said it was time for class to start.



I bet your wondering what I am going to write next? What's going to happen to Sakura
and her weird dreams.and what did it mean when Li was called ` The Hope' card.
Well, find out in Chapter 2.

Until then, write me and tell me how it is so far, and thank you for reading!
