To Catch Up with You
By: Sakura1301
Ch. 3 Midnight Flight
"Okay, ready?" Li nodded and said, "Yeah! Lets Fly!" With that said they took off on her staff into the night sky.
"So where would you like to visit first?" Li thought for a moment. "Anything new around here?" "Yep! Hang on!" They sped through the sky at an incredible speed and after flying about 7 min. they came to a park. They slowly decended to the ground and hopped off her staff. "Okay, we're here. This was built about a year ago. It covers about 20 to 25 acres. Its really nice. Don't you think Syaoran?" Li gasped. "I've never seen anything like it. Theres so many flowers and trees here. Its like a jungle." Sakura just smiled her 100 watt smile. "Well, ya wanna go look around?" Li nodded and they headed off into the park. "Theres 3 parts to the park. The first part is the jungle, which we're in right now. The 2nd is the forest, and the 3rd is a little park. They even have animals. And if we're lucky, we'll get to see some." Li was listening to Sakura but wasn't really paying attention to the scenery, he was looking at Sakura instead. He liked the way the moonlight made her face shine. It made her glow like some sort of Goddess. Now if she had the Fly's wings on, she would look like an angel from above. "Careful, we got shorts on and the sticks will scratch, so watch where ya goin." Sakura told him cause he wasn't watching where he was going.
After about 20 min. of walking they came to the Forest. "Im tired, my feet hurt." Sakura whinned. "What? Your tired already!? We've only been walking about for about 30 min." "I'm not wearing any shoes so these twigs and other things on the ground hurt!" She flopped on the ground and started to rub the bottom of her feet. "And I took a shower too! Im gonna be all dirty again. Great." Li took a seat next to her. After about 2 min. Sakura decided to get up and continue when suddenly a pure white deer zoom by.
"Did you see that Syaoran!?" Sakura said pointing to the fading deer. "Uh, Sakura, I think we should get outta here." Li said, tugging at her shirt. "Why?" "Behind us Sakura. I suggest we, RUN!!!" Suddenly Sakura and Li were running through the forest trying to escape the danger behind them. "I wonder whats making them freak like that?" Li said as he was running. Sakura was tired so she stopped dead in her tracks. "Common Sakura! Don't stop!" "Im too tired." Then she pulled out a card. "Jump!" She grabbed Li and jumped high into the tree tops. There they sat and watched the stampeed of animals go by.
"Good thinking Sakura." "It was nothing." Suddenly a larger creature appeared, but this one seemed to be chasing the animals instead of running with them. "Uh, Sakura, I think we need to get to higher grounds, or at least higher!" He said pointing at the creatures. "Fly!" And before two seconds were up, they were up in the air. Below them, a large flame shot from the beast, catching everything on fire, turning the forest into a sea of flames. "What just happened!?" Sakura asked, looking at Li for the answer. "Like how do I suppose to know?" Not sure himself what just happened. They watched the flames helplessly as the forest burned. An idea hit Li. "Do you think Watery could put out the flames?" He asked. "I think so, Watery was one of the four elements so its pretty strong. I think so." She closed her eyes and Watery appeared in her hand. "I need to use the wand so we need to land somewhere safe." They looked in every direction til they found a clearing. They landed and Fly was returned to its original form. Sakura then released Watery. "Watery!" Watery flew over the flames and extinguished them. The only thing left was burnt trees, ashes, and smoke. "At least the whole park wasn't burnt down. I wonder what that creature was? It was evil though. I could feel a black aura around it." Li said. Sakura just nodded. "I felt it too. But now, its gone." "Lets head back. Im a little tired." Sakura agreed and released Fly again and headed back home. After they got back, Sakura gave Li a peck on the cheek and both headed to their rooms and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning came quickly and both awoke with renewed energy. Both went down to breakfast. "So Sakura, any dreams?" "Nope." Li looked at her. "None? You mean you didn't have any dreams about me?"
He asked in a playful voice. She shook her head. "Sorry, none. What about you?" "Yeah, one." He smiled at her evilly. "Oh, and what was it about?" "You, me, together, in a bed." She turned bright red. "Sy-Syaoran!" "Just kiddin. Not a single dream last night." The blush left her and a sigh came to her lips. "So, when are ya gonna call your mom?" "I don't know. When I feel like it." He shrugged. "Okay, how about some breaksfast?" She asked. "Sounds good to me." "Good, cause we're having pancakes." She went to the pantry and pulled out a box of pancake mix. After about 20 min. a stack of pancakes was made. They ate together with little converstion between them. "I still have alot of things you today! So let hurry and finish breakfast and get goin!" They finished breakfast in record time and quickly cleaned the dishes.
"So, where to?" He asked. Sakura thought a moment. "I know! They had a water park built about a year ago. So we can go there! It'll be fun!" She said as she jumped up and down. "But Sakura, I don't have a swimsuit." He said as he tried to get out of goin. "Don't worry!" Sakura ran up stairs to make a phone call leaving a speechless Li behind. Sakura finally came down and sat on the couch next to Li. After 10 min. of just sitting there, a black car pulled in front of the driveway. The doorbell rang and Sakura got up to answer the door. "Tomoyo! Thank you sooo much for coming at such short notice!" "Thats okay Sakura. Here, its in the bag. Well gotta go! Moms waiting for me at home. See ya later Sakura!" She said as she waved good-bye. Sakura waved back and returned to the living room where she left Li. "Here." She said as she handed him a bag. "Tomoyo was designing swim wear over the summer. Lucky she still had a pair left." "Huh?" Li looked in the bag. Sakura smiled at him. Li sighed and decided there was no point in arguing. So he silently headed upstairs. Sakura went to her room to get ready also. After they had everything set, they headed for the Water park. "It shouldn't be crowded today cause its tuesday." She said. They walked the rest of the way in silence. After 20 min. they finally arrived. They both paid and entered. The park had a Beach theme, so there was sand everywhere. They sat their stuff down and placed an umbrella in the sand and towels in the shade of the umbrella. Li was about to head for the water but was stopped by Sakura. "Freeze Mr." She said as she pointed to the towel next to her. He groaned and sat back down. "Don't move." She commanded. She grabbed a bottle of sunscreen and squeezed the lotion into her hand. She then slapped it onto his back, getting a yelp from him. "Hey! Thats cold!" She giggled. "Better safe than sorry." She said as she rubbed her hands on his back. "Mmmmm." Was all he could say as his eyelids started to droop. He almost fell asleep but she finished before he could and handed the bottle to him. His eyes shot open. "Huh?" "I can't do my back, so you have to do it for me." She said as she turned around. His face took a light blush and he knodded. He did the same as Sakura. "Mmmmm, that feels good." She said as she closed her eyes. When he finished, they headed for the water. The pool was pretty empty. They swam for about 30-45 min before returning to their towels for Lunch.
"So Sakura," Li hesitated, "Since, since you don't have a, a boyfriend, does th-that mean im your boyfriend?" He was affraid of her saying 'No'. She looked up, into his eyes. "Of course." She smiled."Now eat." She said as she handed him a sandwich and a drink. He sighed.
After lunch, They sat and waited for the 30 min to end, so they wouldn't get cramps. Li didn't really care but Sakura did and made him sit til time was up. After the 30 min, they headed for the water slides. When it was their turn, they had to share an intertube. Li was actually glad cause he got to sit with Sakura. Sakura was happy also. As the slide twisted and turned, same did the intertube. Both were trying their best to not fall on the other person but found that it was impossible. When they hit the bottom, a large wave of water hit them both in the face. Both were laughing but stopped suddenly when a signal went off in both of their heads. It was that same feeling as before. The beast was somewhere close by.
