Sakura's Surprise

By: CherrieBlossom

It was a chilly but gorgeous afternoon and Sakura and Li were under a large cherry blossom tree talking about the cards and stuff. They were wrapped up in blankets as Windy played with their hair. They were both blushing and even though they were talking about something else, they both knew what the other one was actually thinking.

"I..." they both said at the same time. "Never mind, you go first," Li said blushing furiously. Sakura stammered, "I..uh..hoeee..want...to go to my house?" Li said,"How about mine? At least I don't have to face your brother.""Good point, Oni-chan is mean to you, isn't he? I forgot about that," Sakura agreed sheepishly. They both floated to Li's house using the Float Card.

"He, he, it's sort of messy," Li said uneasily. "Oh, it's okay, I'll help you clean up!" replied the cheerful and hyperactive Sakura. She got up and started cleaning everything in less than ten minutes. "Wow!" Li exclaimed and then asked shyly, "Sakura, can I borrow the Create, Flower, and the Wood Card?" "Why, of couse you can!" she beamed and handed him the three Sakura Cards. Sakura instructed them to obey Li and do what he says. Li merely smiled and said,"Be back in 20 minutes!" Li dashed off in the wilderness and told the Cards what to do.

The cards automatically obeyed and went to work. Flowery was to sprinkle cherry blossoms and peonies when they came down the road. Create Card created a becautiful garden scene filled with the heavenly scent of cherry blossoms. It also created white, cloudy, and fluffy chairs for them to sit on. There was beautiful and clear music in the back and there was a dazzling sunset in the background. Wood took care of all the cherry blossom trees and peonies. Li smiled and nervously walked back hoping Sakura would enjoy this. "Hey, Sakura! I'm back! I'm going to give you a surprise!" Li shouted as he ran in his door breathlessly. "Okay! Let's go!" answered the excited Sakura. "I baked some stuff for us in case we get hungry." She grinned and help up a tray full of Li's favorite dessert--chocolate chip cookies! Li beamed and let Sakura into the scene where he had her surprise.

Sakura was very excited indeed, when she saw the beautiful scene. Flowery had made a crown woven with cherry blossoms and had a large bouquet of peonies and sakuras at hand. Flowery smiled and tossed the crown to Li and then gracefully swept the ground with her long skirt and gave Li the bouquet too. "Thanks," he murmured. "Oh, Li, this is so beautiful! Thank you so much! I really li--" Sakura got cut off when Li deeply kissed her. Their lips locked together and then slowly parted after a long time. They both blushed deeply until Li said, "Do..you want to be my...girlfriend?" "Yeees, I would love to!" Sakura said, stretching the yes. Li put the crown on Sakura head and gave her the bouquet. Then he fumbled inside his coat and found what he was looking for. He took the velvety blue box out and opened it to reveal a locket. It had their names engraved on the front and inside were their pictures. Sakura quickly kissed Li and then hugged him tightly and said,"I love you."
