[poke] "Ohayou Sakura-chan!" Kero gently knudged the sleeping beauty.

"mmm...?" Sakura was still in the world of dreams.

"WAKE UP!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Nani?" Sakura sat up. Her motion was so quick that it shot Kero-chan to the back of the wall.

"Finally, Sakura. Today is your first day of Summer Vacation." Kero announced proudly.

"Then why did you wake me up so early. Kero?" Sakura rubbed her eyes. She still seems like she is still asleep.

"Because, I want you to do something this summer. Unlike last summer, you hanged around the house, went skating, shopped with Tomoyo-chan and did nothing constructive." Kero shook his head.

"Well, there was nothing better to do. Well, then you think of something okay? And I'll go take a shower." Sakura stammered, as she headed off to the bathroom.

--This is Sakura's first summer on her own. She is old enough to live by herself now and is actually doing pretty well. But, of course with the help of Tomoyo now and then--

"Hai, Moshi Moshi." Kero answered.

"Ohayo Kero-chan." A bright voice said.

"OHAYO! Tomoyo-chan! Would you be coming over again?! And bringing your famouse strawberry short cake?" Kero licked his lips. Just thinking of them can make him drool.

"Nope, sorry Kero. One treat per week. I can't spoil you. Anyway, where's Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo had a stern voice.

"Okay Okay! Sakura is taking a shower. She'll be coming out in a few minutes. Wanna chat?" Kero asked.

"Sure, so what's up?"

"Nothing much, just that I remembered something." Kero's voice grew serious.

"Oh, this sounds serious. What's wrong?"

"Nothing is, just that..this Friday is *cough*'s birthday."

"..nani? kero?!" Tomoyo was in a state of confusement.

"You know.."

"I don't, you have to give me more clues then that!"

Sakura ran out of the bath room with a towel on her head and is wearing a pink robe.

"Hey, Kero! who's on the phone?" Sakura tossed the towel on her bed.

"Tomoyo-chan. She wanted to chat with you." Kero handed the pink cell phone over to Sakura.

"Hai! Moshi Moshi!" Sakura answered.

"Ohayo Sakura-chan. I was just chatting with Kero-chan."

"Ohayo Tomoyo-chan. What were you guys chatting about?"

"It seems like it's someone's birthday this Friday." Tomoyo replied.

Sakura glanced over at the calendar. Friday is...July the 13th.

"Who's birthday is that? Do you know Sakura?" Tomoyo asked urgently. She was very curious.

Sakura's lip was shaking, goosebumps started to appear. She dropped the phone. Grabbed her car keys and ran out the door.

Kero Picked up the phone. "Tomoyo-chan...Friday is Li's birthday."

"Oh..no.."

"Gomen, Kero-chan. I didn't know." Tomoyo burst out into tears. "I just hope that sakura will be okay."

"I hope so too. We shouldn't bother her. She might turn against us. She is still very senstive about that subject."

----

As Sakura ran out the door, the first thing she headed to was her car. A cute silver convertible. She sat down, took the roof down. jammed the keys in the keyhole. And turned the engine on. She put the loudest CD on and turned it up full. She pressed her foot on the gas pedal and raced out of that small, quiet street.

-- Sakura's POV --

Why did Kero have to bring him up now. WHY NOW? I got over him..I got over...him. Everyday, I kept on thinking, wouldn't it be great if he came back to me? why did he abandon me? Why did he leave me? I cry, I scream, I throw things. Nothing really helps, but, time does help to heal. And three years after he left, I am fine now. I am like a regular person. But..now it's all gone.

My mind is filled with hatred, and love. He gave me everything, but with a few words he took it all away.

-- Flash back three years ago --

"Thanks for the ice-cream. Syaoran-kun.." I drifted off. We've been dating for almost two years now. I want to tell him that ..I..LOVE HIM..but the words can never reach my lips.

"No problem Sakura-chan." Syaoran replied. -I need to tell her, I need to tell her now-

"Syaoran-kun..."

"Sakura-chan..."

We both said it at the same time. I blushed, a shade of redness appeared on his face too.

"You go first." I smiled, can it be? Does he love me as well and want to tell me that now?

Slience was caught between us. I don't know why, but the news I am about to receive isn't anything good.

"Sakura-chan, I have to tell you something."

"Go ahead."

"Sakura-chan.."

"..Syaoran-kun?"

"Sakura-chan, I can't be with you anymore. I can't, and I don't want to explain why. I am sorry..." He ran as fast as he could..away from me..away from everything.

And I sat there, till the sun rose on the horizon. I just sat there...waiting to be awakened from this horrible nightmare.
