The Beginning

Sakura wakes up to the sound of eggs frying. She looks around and finds Kero sleeping quietly in a drawer. She starts getting ready to go to school and is almost done, when--

"Breakfast!!"

"Coming!" Sakura answers.

to Kero

"Kero...wake up..." (nudges)

"HUh?" (grudgingly)

"it's breakfast time."

"That's my kind of word."

"Sakura!"

"Almost done, dad!"

"You better hurry up! It's already 7:13!"

"What?! Oh my god! I'm going to be late, AGAIN!"

"Hey...don't blame it on me."

"KERO!!!"

"Ok, ok!" (whispering: geez, you don't have to be so cranky...)

"What did you say?"

"Just go to school."

(Sakura runs down the stairs)

"Hi dad! Shanks fer da breakfesh! Bye!"

"Bye, Sakura!"

At Creative Writing Class:

"Sorry I'm late, Mr. Terada."

"Ms. Kinomoto, how nice of you to join us."

"I overslept and no one even bothered to wake me up."

"Again? Ms. Kinomoto, if you keep this up, you'll be in summer school for sure."

"I know. I'll try to be on time from now on."

"That's enough. Please sit down."

(giggles from the other kids)

"Back to our creative writing."

"I expect it do be finished by Friday."

"Remember, it's only the rough draft."

(the bell rings)

"See you later, class. May I please speak to you for a moment,Sakura?"

"Uh, sure."

"I'm afraid that you might not pass this class because of your tardiness."

"I know. It's just that-"

"No buts. If you want to pass, you ahve to be on time."

"OK."

"You may go now, for lunch, Ms. Kinomoto."

"Thank you."

"By the way, your topic for your story is a dragon."

"Thanks for letting me know."

"No problem. Just be on time."



At Lunch:

(Tomoyo, Meilin, Li, and Skura are eating at a table together)

"So, what did Mr. Terada want?" Tomoyo questioned.

"Oh, that. He just wanted to tell me my topic for the story."

"That's it?"

"Yeah, uh, basically."

"Sure, Sakura."

"So, what's your topic, Tomoyo?"

"Flowers. I like it, but I don't know what to write..." Tomoyo answered.

"Don't worry! You'll think of something."

(Madison nods)

"What do you have, Li? Meilin?"

"Well, I certainly don't approve of mine," said Li.

"What is it?"

"Snow. Geez. Why snow? Why not ice or water?"

"I certainly approve of mine. I have beauty," Meilin cried out.

"That's great! Don't you agree, Madison?"

"Uh, huh."

"Well, of course it is, because I'm full of it," Meilin said.

"Meilin..." Li said sternfully.

"What?"

"Be quiet and stop bragging."

"hmphh."

(Sakura whispers to Tomoyo: Oh no! Not another one of their fights!)

(The 'end of lunch' bell rings)

"See you later," Sakura yelled.

"Yeah," all three of them replied.



At the End of School:

"Tomoyo..." Sakura complained.

"I know, I know," Tomoyo said immediately.

"You don't know what to write about," Tomoyo continued.

"Well, do you, TOmoyo?" Sakura asked.

"Not exactly, but I will."

"See what I mean?!"

"You always know a part of it, and I never do until the last minute!!"

"It's ok, Sakura."

"You'll think fo something soon."

Suddenly, a bright blue light comes into view.

"Aahhh!!!"

"What is it, Sakura?"

"Aahhh!!! Look ahead!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Aahhh!!! What is that thing?" Tomoyo asked, shaking.

"I..I...d..don't...know..."

"B...but...it's strange..."

"Now, calm down."

"Tomoyo!!! This isn't a fire drill or anything!!!"

"I know, but..."

"No, buts. I'm being sucked in!!! Help m-!!"

"S...Sakura?"

"Sakura, where did you go?"

"S..she's not here?"

"I better tell Kero about this right away!"

(runs to Sakura's house)



Tomoyo Talks to Kero:

"So, you say she's gone? Like in gone, gone?" Kero asked.

"Yeah...I'm really worried about her..." said a scared Tomoyo.

"So am I. She could be in big trouble."

"Kero!! Don'w say that!"

"But she could be..." Kero struggled to say.

"Just don't!"

"Ok, ok. I won'e say anymore."

"Good."

"But.."

"Kero!!!"
