Prologue
Sakura stepped onto the field. It was her big moment at the national cheer competition. The moment she had be practicing all year for. And this was it. Walked out onto the grassy football field as the man annouced her name over the intercom.
"And next for the solo competition......Sakura!!!" The stadium shook as the crowd cheered. There was Madison with her camera ready to push the recording button. Her heart raced. She got to her ready position....took a deep breath......
"SAKURA!!!!! WAKE UP!!!"
She jolted up and hit her head on the desk lamp. "Oww...." She rubbed her groggly eyes as the yellow blur came into focus. "AHH!!"
" 'Ah' is right, missy!" Kero bellowed in her face. "You fell asleep on your math homework which you didn't finished!" He flew and sat on the bed.
"I was having a good dream, too...." she groaned. She looked into her mirror propped up next to her elbow. Her dirty blond hair was messier than it usually was and her eyes had tired bags under them. She shifted her head to the clock, 12:30 A.M. Her eyes started to drooped again.
"DON'T FALL ASLEEP AGAIN!!!" Kero yelled now eyeing her closely.
"I wasn't falling asleep," Sakura bolted upright again, "I was only resting my eyes."
"Uh-huh, sure you were," Kero retorted skeptically.
"It's stuffy in here," Sakura said dragging her exhausted body to the window and opening it slowly. She rested her elbow on the windowsill and placed her head in her hand. The night breeze was cool against her sleepy face waking her up. She averted her eyes from the starry night sky to the dark, abandoned street. Her mind drifted off else where....anything but homework....
A blaze of blinding light filled the street for a second. She woke and saw some sort of opening, except the only problem was that the opening was just in air....kind of like a portal....A hooded person came stepped out and the portal closed. Sakura's eyes widened.
"Kero!" she whispered urgently, motioning him to come to the window.
"What?!" he yelled back.
"Shhhhh!" Sakura spat out. Kero fluttered to the window and looked out....there was nothing there.
"You called me over here to look at the street that I see everyday??!!" Kero yelled. "Go finish your homework!"
"I don't get it.....I could have sworn..." Maybe it was a dream, she was half asleep anyways....
