Sakura in Paris
Part Eight: Revelations
The Lizzie is locked in the spare bedroom at the moment.
Thank God.
Choir in the Background: Ha-leluya!
And the Blair Witch is on guard duty at the moment...
Blair Witch: Cousin Psycho! I'm getting hungry!
Psycho: Well, if the Lizzie shows her pointy head, you're free to eat her!
Ameoba Boy: What's that noise?
Max: Sounds like a combination of teeth chattering, whimpers, and large pieces of furniture being pushed up against a door....
the Lizzie: Leave me alone!
Heaven: Revenge is so sweet. We're just getting back at you for all the years of pain and suffering you've put us through!
Ameoba Boy: I don't mean to intrude on anyone's happy feelings, but do you hear gunshots?
(The front door opens and slams shut again, a disheveled girl leaning against the closed door with a rifle clutched in her hands.)
Ameoba Boy: Is that.... It can't be.... Da Bomb?
Da Bomb (Panting): I'm on the run! The police think I killed Kyle!
(Everyone stares at Da Bomb and waits.)
Raye: Your point being....
Da Bomb: I didn't!
Max: Are you sure?
Da Bomb: I did not kill my boyfriend! I swear it! I'm being framed! That evil Kassie did it!
Raye: While we keep the SWAT Team from battering down the door, comfort a disraught Da Bomb, and keep the Hyper One locked away safely, here's the next fic part.....
SWAT Team: OPEN THE DOOR NOW!
BAMMM! BAMMM! BAMMM! BAMMM.....

From the Head of Heather(Max):
I am King! Give me all your meats and cheeses!
All hail King Palaski!
Remember the cotton gin!
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob Squarepants!!
Triangle Man beat Particle Man with a frying pan!
Oh, and Bar didn't make Cardcaptors. Clamp did.
Ahem. I'm gonna go take my pills now.
Sakura felt like she was walking on air. Dancing like this in Li's arms was wonderful. She was sure she was dreaming.
Li felt the exact same. She's an angel. Pure and simple.
The darkened ballroom and soft music were taking hold of Sakura. The girl was nearly asleep in moments, her arms around Li's neck, her head on his shoulder, when...
"Pardon me, but may I cut in?"
Li glared at Tom and reluctantly let go of Sakura. "For now."
Sakura and Tom began to dance, Tom very pleased and Sakura and Li thoroughly depressed. Li went to stand by a long table to wait for the end of the dance, when he could rescue Sakura.
Ranea swept by, dancing with another servant, her boyfriend named Jean. "Why are you not dancing with Chere`?"
Li sighed and nodded over at Sakura and Tom. "Tom cut in."
Ranea frowned. "We shall 'ave to take care of 'im."
And she swept off again. Li was somewhat mystified by Ranea's comment, but realized what she meant a moment later when Grannie Marie interrupted Tom and Sakura.
"I would love to talk to you about your father, Tom. Could you spare the time?"
Tom reluctantly went with Marie into another room, not wanting to offend the elderly woman. Sakura immediately found Li and the two began dancing again.
Sakura gulped and tried to find the courage to speak. "Li, there was something I wanted to ask you."
Li nodded. "What?"
Sakura took a deep breath and glued her eyes to the floor. "It's about something Ranea told me. Something she heard from Jacque..."
"What?" Li asked breathlessly.
"She said..." Sakura faltered for a moment. "That Jacque thinks you've got ..... feelings .... for me."
Li was silent. He couldn't find the strength to speak.
Sakura looked up. "Is it true?"
Li gulped. She looks like she's about to cry. He bowed his head and nodded ever so slowly. I'll never be able to tell her unless I do now. I don't think I'll ever find the courage to again... "Yeah, it's true."
Sakura stood there with bated breath. "Really? Truly?"
Li nodded. "I could never tell you before. I was afraid you'd never speak to me again if I did."
"Thank God, Li! I was so afraid you didn't care about me!" Sakura cried, hugging him tightly, crying in happiness. Li blushed in surprise.
"The thing is Li, I..... I ....." She stopped then gulped. "I care about you too!"
Li stared in surprise until he found his voice again. "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I never could! I wanted too, oh how I wanted to! But I never could!"
Jacque smiled at the couple, then turned to Ranea. "What do you think, Ranea? Will they last?"
Ranea grinned. "They will if I've anything to say about it!"
Raye: But officers! We don't know who you're talking about! There's no Alyssa Bomhold here!
(Max is suddenly struck with inspiration.)
Max: Officers, will you let us off the hook if we hand Alyssa over to you?
Officer: Yes, seeing as how you did not help with the murder.
Max: She's in that room, Officer. She locked herself in.
Officer: Bring the battering ram in, Boys!
BAMMM! BAMMM! BAMMM!
the Lizzie: Ack! What're you doing? Get your hands off of me!
Officer: You're wanted for first-degree murder charges. You have the right to remain silent...
the Lizzie: I didn't kill anyone! Please, believe me! Guys, tell them it wasn't me! GUYS!!!
Heaven: Max, I now crown you Queen of the World.
Da Bomb (the Alyssa they're looking for): Be careful, Officers! She's a cronic liar! Don't believe a word she tells you! She's insane!
the Lizzie (the other Alyssa): NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
