Time to find Hope
Part 4
" LI!" Sakura screamed as she sat up from bed. She breathed heavily as she put a hand to
her head. This is when she realized what was going on. " Oh, No! LI!" Sakura got out of
bed and frantically got dressed in her outfit she was wearing earlier today. She looked
around for her key, it was on her dresser. She grabbed it and ran out of her room followed
by Kero.
" Hey! What's going on here?" Kero yelled. " Where do you think your going, Miss
Sakura?"
" I have to save Li!" Sakura screamed as Madison came out the door in her nighty, while
Sakura put on her shoes.
" Li...!" Kero said.
" Sakura what's going on?" Madison said as she interrupted Kero.
" Li's in trouble right as we speak!" Sakura said as she got her wand to get wings. " I
have to save him!"
" Not without me your not!" Madison said as she went into her room and got dressed, and
while she was there got her camera. As she came back out she remembered that Li was
last in Sakura's room. " Wait! I thought he was with you!" Madison said as she got onto
the wand and her and Sakura went off.
" He was! But he left for some reason and I have no earthly clue where he is!" Sakura
looked around frantically hoping to spot him. Madison turned on her camera and pointed
the camera every witch way hoping to find something to tape, or at least find Li.
Sakura knew that this island was not very big, but still Li was no where in sight. " Li."
Sakura whispered as a tear started to roll down her cheek. Madison said nothing and
pointed the camera down on the sandy waters. There on the beach walking was Meilin.
" Meilin.." Madison slowly whispered out of disbelieve Sakura looked behind her at
Madison.
" What did you say Madison?" Sakura said not even paying attention to where she was
going. While Kero was flying around trying his best to help.
" I thought I saw Meilin." Madison said holding her camera a little above her head.
Sakura then landed.
" Where did you see her?" Sakura said with interest.
" Walking along the beach, why?" Sakura didn't answer her question, but ran away to
look for Meilin. " SAKURA!!!!!" Sakura didn't care, she had to save Li.
" MEILIN!!!!" As she came close to the girl that hated her. Meilin stopped and turned her
head as Sakura came running up to her frantically like there was a fire.
" ..Sakura.." Meilin said in shock. Sakura finally reached her put her hands to her
knees and started to gasp for air. In one of her hands was her wand. Immediately Meilin
knew there was trouble. " Sakura! What's going on?" Meilin said worried. Sakura after
recovering looked up at Meilin.
" Li's in trouble." She said plainly. Meilin didn't know what to say, she was silent for a
while.
" Li.?" She said not wanting to believe it. Sakura nodded as Madison and Kero finally
made it to where they were. Sakura looked back at Madison and Kero.
" I'm gonna fly, the rest of you find Li!" She said putting out the fly card and hit it,
making her wand have wings again.
" Hey! Wait one minute Miss. Sakura!" Kero said going in front of her face. " I'm going
with you!" Sakura looked at Kero and yelled in a controlling voice.
" NO YOU STAY HERE!!!!" Kero backed away form how angry Sakura was. Sakura
then flew off to find Li. Madison blinked. She NEVER saw Sakura so bent out of shape
over something like this. She just guest it was because someone was trying to hurt her
best friend. Madison then thought. ` Wait! I'm her best friend!' But then she shook off
the thought and went over to Meilin.
" Come on! Let's try to find Li!" Meilin nodded and Madison, Meilin, and Kero looked
for Li on the beach.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ To Sakura ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Sakura flew around the island, she thought to herself about all the times she and Li
fought. Why didn't they do anything-cool together, and not waste time. One of them
could be gone at anytime now. Sakura's eyes went mad. " Yea! And it's Li who's going
to be gone at anytime!" She looked around and turned to go back to the way of the hotel.
If Li was in trouble then he didn't go off far to reach that danger. When she got close to
the volcano that was a bit of ways close by to the hotel she sensed something.
It wasn't really strong, but it was enough to make Sakura wonder. As she neared the
volcano the presence got intense. Sakura landed at the tiptop of the volcano and made her
wand get out of its wing form. She looked around and then looked down the hole. There
on the side and what seemed to be chained up was a battered Li. " Li!" Sakura said in a
whisper. " LI!" She screamed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Li looked around himself once again and hoped that he could get free somehow. He
pulled on the chains that held him. He growled in defeat. Suddenly he heard laughing.
" WHO'S THERE! SHOW YOURSELF!" Li said trying his best to show that he was
strong. The laughing continued until Talan came to form right in front of Li's eyes.
" WHO ARE YOU?!" Li screamed as Talan came closer to Li. Talan smiled and made
another evil laugh.
" You don't need to know! All you need to know is that soon you'll be dead and Sakura
will be mine!" He smiled another evil grin. Li growled.
" YOU STAY AWAY FROM SAKURA!" Li said wanting to punch him but was suck on
the wall so instead he spat at him. His spit went onto Talan's face and almost into his
eyes.
" Is that the best you got?" Talan said wiping it away. He did not seemed threatened in
the least. Talan made a mad face and then slapped Li. Li flinched a little but still held his
position.
" I will NEVER let you hurt Sakura!" Talan smiled at the little comment.
" Hurt Sakura?" He smiled again. " I'm not gonna hurt her, just.." He then ended not
wanting to tell him his true worth and Li got other ideas when he didn't finish.
" YOU WOULDN'T DARE!!!!" Li said trying to get out of the chains. Talan smiled
again and punched Li in the eye and then in the gut to shut him up.
" Yes.I would dare." He then disappeared as Li fell unconscious.
After a bit Li woke and looked around him. He was hurting all over. He groaned in pain
then he heard something very familiar. " LI!!!!!!!!!" He shot his head right up. Was it his
Cherry Blossom? He looked up and at the top was Sakura. " LI!" She screamed again
with tears in her eyes.
" SAKURA!" Li said looking up at her with caring eyes. Sakura smiled at Li and just
stared at him. Li then remembered that Talan was still after her. " SAKURA! IT'S A
TRAP!!!!! RUN!!!!!"
~* Back with Sakura *~
" What? A Trap?" She said in more of a whisper.
" RUN!!!! SAKURA!!!!!" Li kept yelling.
" NO! I WON'T LEAVE YOU!!!!" Sakura yelled back.
" BUT HE'S AFTER YOU SAKURA!!!!!!" Sakura then shook her head.
" NOT REALLY! HE'S AFTER YOU AND ME! I'LL EXPLAIN LATER!" She looked
around hoping for a way down to get to Li. Suddenly, she felt something on the back of
her hair. She turned around quickly. She froze and was eye in eye with Talan.
" Talan!" Sakura said backing away from him. She backed away more than turned and
ran to the other side of the volcano top. Talan was right behind her on her trail, then he
was in front of her. Sakura gasped and backed away again.
" Sakura..." He said in a voice Sakura didn't like one bit. He smiled as he touched her
face with his hand. Sakura's eyes went bit, as this man she didn't like one bit tried to get
close to her. She shut her eyes as some tears started to flow. ` L.Li.'
~* To Madison, Meilin, and Kero *~
" Are we there yet?"
" No Kero.Not yet." Madison said turning to the flying stuffed animal. Meilin then just
glared back at the annoying toy.
" Where are we to go, Kero?" She asked it mean like. " Like we even know where
anything is! And we have nothing to help us find Li.!!!" Meilin said stomping and then
stopped walking. Madison turned around and looked at Meilin have a fit.
" HEY! What do I look like? LIVER?" Kero said going up into her face.
" What do you mean?" Meilin said not getting it.
" I can sense magic! I can tell if anything is odd."
" Great we're doomed!" Meilin said plainly. Madison giggled and Kero groaned.
Suddenly, Kero sensed something.
" HEY! This way!" Kero said going in a direction. Madison pulled out her tape recorder
and started shooting while Meilin just scowled while following Kero.
Kero then stopped when he came to the volcano. He looked all around. " I don't know
now!" He kept looking around not finding anything. Madison looked around with her
tape recorder and hoping to find Sakura somewhere. Meilin sighed and groaned.
" We're never going to find Li!" She said in dismay and laid her back on the volcano.
Suddenly the door to the volcano opened and Meilin fell in.
~* Sakura *~
" STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Sakura said running away from the man that wanted her.
He came up to her and wanted to touch her cheek. " NO!" She screamed and slapped
him. He then smiled and then tried to kiss her. " NO!" She said running. " LI!" She said
and tripped. " LI! HELP ME! LIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!"
" SAKURA!!!!!!" Sakura looked up at the man coming at her, she then got off the ground
and ran to the other side of him.
" You stay way from me!" She held her sealing wand in front of her. " If you don't I'll
use one of the cards!" She threatened holding the cards. Talan just smiled and gave a
laugh. Sakura lowered the cards as he started to come closer. She then whispered to
herself feeling that there was no way to win. " Li..help me!"
~* To the others *~
" OW!" Meilin said holding her head.
" MEILIN?" came the familiar voice.
" Li?" She said then looked behind her and there was Li tied up. " LI!" She screamed and
hugged him. He grunted with pain. " Li, You okay?" Meilin asked.
" No! Untie me!" He said plainly.
" Li! What happened?" Madison asked as she tried to undo the chains.
" I got suckered in here, and this guy was trying to kill me! And just a few Minutes ago
he punched me in the face and gut." He then looked at Meilin. " That's why I grunted,
my gut was hurting!" He tried to smile but then let it fall. " Sakura needs me!" Li said as
Madison got the last of the chains off.
Li then grabbed his sword and looked at Kero. " Kero! Try to get one of Sakura's cards
for me!" Kero nodded as he went to Sakura that was trying her best to get away from
Talan. Kero went to her and grabbed the float card. He then flew down to Li and gave
him the card. Li then held out the card and yelled. " Float card release and take me to the
top!" He said poking the card with his sword. The float card surrounded Li and the others
and floated them to the top.
Sakura ran around to the other side and Talan flew in front of her. She gasped as he came
closer to her. " No! STAY AWAY!" She said running to the other side.
" No matter what you do Sakura, you'll never get away from me!" He said with a grin
scaring Sakura. She stopped running and faced him while pointing her wand at him.
" No Matter what, huh?" She said angrily. " I will stop you! And Li will stop you too!"
Talan smiled and evil smile and started to laugh at the thought of Li.
" Li's gone! I have him where he can't interfere!" Sakura's eyes went wide, even though
she knew that and she couldn't get down there in time so he could help her. Everything
was falling apart. Then Talan started to pursue Sakura. What could she do? She dropped
her wand and waited what was to come.
" SAKURA! NO!" Li said jumping in front of Sakura to protect her from Talan.
" No! How?" Meilin and Madison waved at a dumbfounded Talan. He growled as he
glared at the two girls and then he looked back at Li who was about ready to fight him,
while having his sword out. Talan's face did not show happy signs. He then let his face
fall back into a huge grin with the same evil smile. " So, you want Sakura? And I want
Sakura.." He said holding out his hand in midair almost like waiting for something.
" Well.." Then there was a sword hovering over his hand and fell into it. " You have to
fight me.." He then put the sword in front of him and glared at Li. Li nodded then
looked behind him to Sakura.
" Make sure you use the shield to protect yourself and the others!" Li then turned back to
Talan. Sakura nodded to reply and ran to the others and used shield. Li, knowing now
that Sakura and the others were save, glared at Talan. Li still had his sword in front of
him and stared down at Talan. This was going to be a sword match..for Sakura. Sakura
looked worried. Li was good at the sword, but Talan had been doing this his whole life
and was older so he was stronger. Li's eyes made a mad look and then he leapt. Talan
must have been waiting for that and leapt too. They clank their swords together, than they
had each other on the rise. Li swung and hit Talan's sword, Talan swung and did the
same. They were both good as each swung and missed. Talan was getting sick of this
swordplay and slashed at the shield protecting the others. " Hey! You only fight ME! Not
the others!" Li yelled. Talan didn't listen as he swung towards Meilin. The shield
protected her.
" LI!" She screamed getting scared. Li glared at him and noticed he was going to weaken,
or at least try to weaken the shield.
" Stop it!" Li said knowing that that wasn't the right way to go. Sakura then jumped out
of the shield and held her wand up.
" It's me you want! Not the others! Leave them out of this!" Sakura said surprising Li
and the others.
" No! Sakura!" Li said but couldn't get to Sakura because Talan slashed his sword near
Li's throat.
" Be a good boy and go away!" Talan said in victory. Li looked up at the grinning Talan
and groaned falling to the floor, he had lost and looked like he lost Sakura forever. As
Talan came over to Sakura, she dropped her wand onto the ground then fell to her knees,
weak and in defeat. She couldn't believe the bad guy won!
Talan was now right in front of her and smiled an evil smile and whispered into her ear.
" I have won! And now you're mine!" He grinned as she didn't move, so he could take
her.
Then out of no where, a bright light came from Sakura making Talan step back a step or
two just so he could see what was going on. Just a couple of feet above Sakura was
Sakura's protector, her eyes were closed and her hair was every where. As her feet
reached the ground she opened her eyes to show Talan his big Sister.
" Lila!" Talan whispered in fear. " What are you doing here?" She looked at him with no
fear what so ever.
" You're trying to hurt these kids! I won't let you do that!" Talan smiled a smile at her
comment.
" Oh? And what are you going to do? Stop me?" He asked as he put quotations on the
` Stop me' part. She did not smile, she didn't not blink. She looked at him and just stared.
" What are you doing?" He asked as he looked at her. She wore white robes, the same as
she first saw Sakura. Lila then smiled and put out her hand, in her hand were two cards.
She then threw them out and yelled. " Danger Card! Lookout Card! Release and
Dispel!!!!!!!!" Danger was let out and this beautiful woman flew out with her long curly
hair flowing and her dagger beside her. The lookout girl almost looked like Meilin, but
with a weird hairstyle, she flew out towards Talan but stopped as did Danger and looked
at Lila. Sakura's eyes went wide.
" Those were the cards I saw in my dream!" She yelled, Danger and Lookout smiled at
Sakura. Sakura blushed as they stared but then looked back at Lila. Lila smiled at them
and looked at them hard. They understood. They flew off towards Talan and started to
fight him. Lookout, sense she looked like a karate kid stared throwing kicks and punches,
while Talan tried darting the kicks and punches. Danger was trying to hurt him with her
dagger. He got scared because he couldn't take two cards that were different than Clow
Reeds cards. Lookout then without realizing from anyone jumped back and did
something in her hand and flung it at Talan. Talan froze as it came at him and then turned
into a cage and shrunk, tinnier and tinnier making him small just as big as the cage.
Lookout grabbed the small ball that contained Talan She smiled a cute smile and then
went up to Lila. She gave Lila the ball and Lila asked her and Danger to return.
As Lila held the ball, she turned to Sakura and the others. She smiled, she knew Sakura
would have questions. Sakura stepped forward. " They were your cards?" Sakura asked
nicely. " They weren't made for a question? They were just the same as clow cards?" Lila
smiled but didn't shake her head yes nor no.
" You see Sakura, These are my cards I first made!" She looked at her cards. " They were
for explanation, and for me to protect me and my person I was to protect." Hoping that
was the last of Sakura's questions she then talked. " Talan is in this ball, of course we can
not kill him. So, I'll be keeping him in this ball for all eternity. He won't ever harm you
again..." And that was all she spoke and she disappeared. Meilin's eyes were wide.
" I dun't get it! What happened? What was the ghost lady talking about?" Madison
grinned, she knew Sakura would tell her on the plane ride back home. Sakura looked
down, it was over; the threat to her and Li were over. She then blushed as she knew Li
was right beside her. Li put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a smile. Sakura turned
her head to his direction and smiled too. Madison grabbed her tape just incase of a happy
ending. Meilin smiled. Even though she hate to admit it, she really liked them as a
couple. Sakura then looked away from Li.
" I'm sorry, I couldn't save you." She said thinking he would be mad. Li looked
confused.
" You being sorry? I should be sorry, I was suppose to protect you!" He said turning her
around to look at him. He smiled. " We both made some mistakes, but." He said as he
pushed her into a hug. " We made it out alive.Didn't we?" He said pushing her away
just a bit to look into her eyes. Sakura smiled a bit and nodded her head. Li then went on
a bold level and all of a sudden kissed Sakura, light at first after Sakura got into it after
being freaked a moment. Then it went deeply. Meilin ruined the moment by saying.
" Get a ROOM!" Sakura and Li departed and giggled as Madison's camera got them on
the volcano with a full moon into play.
" Perfect!" Madison whispered as she turned off the camera.
The next day...
Song " Look at us Baby" By Serena Paris plays in the background.
" Wow, it's time to go already!" Madison said looking at the beach one last time. Sakura
nodded as she and Li held each other.
" Tons of memories!" Sakura said putting a hand over her eyes, to get them out of the
sun. Li smiled.
" Yea, but I would prefer to go back home now!" Sakura nodded as Ms. Mackenzie came
up to them holding her bag.
" So, You ready to go?" She asked. Madison nodded as she climbed onto the jet. Still
holding her camera. Ms. Mackenzie went on next leaving Sakura and Li at the beginning
stairs. Sakura smiled at Li.
" Glad it's all over?" Asked Sakura. Li just smiled and kissed her.
" Yea, but I'm not mad that we come here!" Sakura smiled and you could see her
happiness in her eyes. Soon, Li put out his hand and walked Sakura up to the plane where
they would find their future..at home.
The rest of the Song gets in full blast as credits role.

for me!" Kero nodded as he went to Sakura that was trying her best to get away from
Talan. Kero went to her and grabbed the float card. He then flew down to Li and gave
him the card. Li then held out the card and yelled. " Float card release and take me to the
top!" He said poking the card with his sword. The float card surrounded Li and the others
and floated them to the top.
Sakura ran around to the other side and Talan flew in front of her. She gasped as he came
closer to her. " No! STAY AWAY!" She said running to the other side.
" No matter what you do Sakura, you'll never get away from me!" He said with a grin
scaring Sakura. She stopped running and faced him while pointing her wand at him.
" No Matter what, huh?" She said angrily. " I will stop you! And Li will stop you too!"
Talan smiled and evil smile and started to laugh at the thought of Li.
" Li's gone! I have him where he can't interfere!" Sakura's eyes went wide, even though
she knew that and she couldn't get down there in time so he could help her. Everything
was falling apart. Then Talan started to pursue Sakura. What could she do? She dropped
her wand and waited what was to come.
" SAKURA! NO!" Li said jumping in front of Sakura to protect her from Talan.
" No! How?" Meilin and Madison waved at a dumbfounded Talan. He growled as he
glared at the two girls and then he looked back at Li who was about ready to fight him,
while having his sword out. Talan's face did not show happy signs. He then let his face
fall back into a huge grin with the same evil smile. " So, you want Sakura? And I want
Sakura.." He said holding out his hand in midair almost like waiting for something.
" Well.." Then there was a sword hovering over his hand and fell into it. " You have to
fight me.." He then put the sword in front of him and glared at Li. Li nodded then
looked behind him to Sakura.
" Make sure you use the shield to protect yourself and the others!" Li then turned back to
Talan. Sakura nodded to reply and ran to the others and used shield. Li, knowing now
that Sakura and the others were save, glared at Talan. Li still had his sword in front of
him and stared down at Talan. This was going to be a sword match..for Sakura. Sakura
looked worried. Li was good at the sword, but Talan had been doing this his whole life
and was older so he was stronger. Li's eyes made a mad look and then he leapt. Talan
must have been waiting for that and leapt too. They clank their swords together, than they
had each other on the rise. Li swung and hit Talan's sword, Talan swung and did the
same. They were both good as each swung and missed. Talan was getting sick of this
swordplay and slashed at the shield protecting the others. " Hey! You only fight ME! Not
the others!" Li yelled. Talan didn't listen as he swung towards Meilin. The shield
protected her.
" LI!" She screamed getting scared. Li glared at him and noticed he was going to weaken,
or at least try to weaken the shield.
" Stop it!" Li said knowing that that wasn't the right way to go. Sakura then jumped out
of the shield and held her wand up.
" It's me you want! Not the others! Leave them out of this!" Sakura said surprising Li
and the others.
" No! Sakura!" Li said but couldn't get to Sakura because Talan slashed his sword near
Li's throat.
" Be a good boy and go away!" Talan said in victory. Li looked up at the grinning Talan
and groaned falling to the floor, he had lost and looked like he lost Sakura forever. As
Talan came over to Sakura, she dropped her wand onto the ground then fell to her knees,
weak and in defeat. She couldn't believe the bad guy won!
Talan was now right in front of her and smiled an evil smile and whispered into her ear.
" I have won! And now you're mine!" He grinned as she didn't move, so he could take
her.
Then out of no where, a bright light came from Sakura making Talan step back a step or
two just so he could see what was going on. Just a couple of feet above Sakura was
Sakura's protector, her eyes were closed and her hair was every where. As her feet
reached the ground she opened her eyes to show Talan his big Sister.
" Lila!" Talan whispered in fear. " What are you doing here?" She looked at him with no
fear what so ever.
" You're trying to hurt these kids! I won't let you do that!" Talan smiled a smile at her
comment.
" Oh? And what are you going to do? Stop me?" He asked as he put quotations on the
` Stop me' part. She did not smile, she didn't not blink. She looked at him and just stared.
" What are you doing?" He asked as he looked at her. She wore white robes, the same as
she first saw Sakura. Lila then smiled and put out her hand, in her hand were two cards.
She then threw them out and yelled. " Danger Card! Lookout Card! Release and
Dispel!!!!!!!!" Danger was let out and this beautiful woman flew out with her long curly
hair flowing and her dagger beside her. The lookout girl almost looked like Meilin, but
with a weird hairstyle, she flew out towards Talan but stopped as did Danger and looked
at Lila. Sakura's eyes went wide.
" Those were the cards I saw in my dream!" She yelled, Danger and Lookout smiled at
Sakura. Sakura blushed as they stared but then looked back at Lila. Lila smiled at them
and looked at them hard. They understood. They flew off towards Talan and started to
fight him. Lookout, sense she looked like a karate kid stared throwing kicks and punches,
while Talan tried darting the kicks and punches. Danger was trying to hurt him with her
dagger. He got scared because he couldn't take two cards that were different than Clow
Reeds cards. Lookout then without realizing from anyone jumped back and did
something in her hand and flung it at Talan. Talan froze as it came at him and then turned
into a cage and shrunk, tinnier and tinnier making him small just as big as the cage.
Lookout grabbed the small ball that contained Talan She smiled a cute smile and then
went up to Lila. She gave Lila the ball and Lila asked her and Danger to return.
As Lila held the ball, she turned to Sakura and the others. She smiled, she knew Sakura
would have questions. Sakura stepped forward. " They were your cards?" Sakura asked
nicely. " They weren't made for a question? They were just the same as clow cards?" Lila
smiled but didn't shake her head yes nor no.
" You see Sakura, These are my cards I first made!" She looked at her cards. " They were
for explanation, and for me to protect me and my person I was to protect." Hoping that
was the last of Sakura's questions she then talked. " Talan is in this ball, of course we can
not kill him. So, I'll be keeping him in this ball for all eternity. He won't ever harm you
again..." And that was all she spoke and she disappeared. Meilin's eyes were wide.
" I dun't get it! What happened? What was the ghost lady talking about?" Madison
grinned, she knew Sakura would tell her on the plane ride back home. Sakura looked
down, it was over; the threat to her and Li were over. She then blushed as she knew Li
was right beside her. Li put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a smile. Sakura turned
her head to his direction and smiled too. Madison grabbed her tape just incase of a happy
ending. Meilin smiled. Even though she hate to admit it, she really liked them as a
couple. Sakura then looked away from Li.
" I'm sorry, I couldn't save you." She said thinking he would be mad. Li looked
confused.
" You being sorry? I should be sorry, I was suppose to protect you!" He said turning her
around to look at him. He smiled. " We both made some mistakes, but." He said as he
pushed her into a hug. " We made it out alive.Didn't we?" He said pushing her away
just a bit to look into her eyes. Sakura smiled a bit and nodded her head. Li then went on
a bold level and all of a sudden kissed Sakura, light at first after Sakura got into it after
being freaked a moment. Then it went deeply. Meilin ruined the moment by saying.
" Get a ROOM!" Sakura and Li departed and giggled as Madison's camera got them on
the volcano with a full moon into play.
" Perfect!" Madison whispered as she turned off the camera.
The next day...
Song " Look at us Baby" By Serena Paris plays in the background.
" Wow, it's time to go already!" Madison said looking at the beach one last time. Sakura
nodded as she and Li held each other.
" Tons of memories!" Sakura said putting a hand over her eyes, to get them out of the
sun. Li smiled.
" Yea, but I would prefer to go back home now!" Sakura nodded as Ms. Mackenzie came
up to them holding her bag.
" So, You ready to go?" She asked. Madison nodded as she climbed onto the jet. Still
holding her camera. Ms. Mackenzie went on next leaving Sakura and Li at the beginning
stairs. Sakura smiled at Li.
" Glad it's all over?" Asked Sakura. Li just smiled and kissed her.
" Yea, but I'm not mad that we come here!" Sakura smiled and you could see her
happiness in her eyes. Soon, Li put out his hand and walked Sakura up to the plane where
they would find their future..at home.
The rest of the Song gets in full blast as credits role.
