Sakura in Paris
Part Twenty-Two: Home at Last
Raye: SUCCESS!!!!
(The group is standing (some are on the ground, passed out in exhaustion) before the manically laughing Raye, who is holding a $100 bill. Everyone is dirty, tired, and about ready to kill Raye....)
Max: Now that we found the money, went shopping, rebuilt your house, spent three weeks in your company, and watched the Mummy twenty-three times, can we go home?
Raye: Maybe. (Kisses the $100.) I love you, Bill.
Ameoba Boy (Whispering to Sakura.): She's totally flipped. She named it Bill.
Raye: Did you say something, Ameoba?
Ameoba Boy: Of course not, Raye!
Raye: Good!
(Psycho suddenly comes into the room. She was on the lookout for Raye's parents.)
Psycho: They're here!
(Everyone stampedes out the back door, Raye waving happily by the door as they pass.)
Raye: Bye! Thanks for coming! Hope you enjoyed your stay at the Barry Inn! Good Bye!!
(Raye's parents walk in to find Raye, Alex, Max, Heaven, Li, and Sakura sitting calmly in the spotless living room, drinking root-beers and watching the Mummy. They stare in disbelief at the spotless house and non-fighting kids.)
Mom: Did you guys have fun?
Raye (Looking up absently.): Sure. Nothing much happened though......
{Disclaimer}
And now, for the final Disclaimer and grand finale!
(Raye steps onto the silent, spot-lighted stage, dressed in a tux.)
Raye: Ahem. I'd like everyone to be silent. Maestro? Drum roll please.
(Drum roll begins.)
Raye: Now I want complete silence.
(Complete, awaiting silence as Max and Heaven wheel in something like a board, covered with a velvet cloth. Raye waits dramatically before pulling the cloth off.)
Raye: Ta da!
The board reads:
Thank You All For Reading This.
Raye Does Not Own Cardcaptors. Clamp Does!
Let's Give A Round Of Applause For Those
Talented Ladies!
(Everyone claps as Raye bows.)
Raye: Thank you all! Goodnight!
Sakura and Li boarded the plane, waving goodbye to Grannie Marie and the others, who were all in tears.
"Goodbye, Chere`!"
"'Ope to see you soon!"
"We love you both dearly!"
"Visit us again soon!"
After a long, grueling plane ride, Kero was extremely green, and Li didn't look too much better. Sakura on the other hand, bounced out of the plane and down the stairway to hug Madison and her Dad.
"It's good to see you both again!" Madison exclaimed. She had a very dark tan, for once, and was wearing a large cowboy hat. She was, for once again, without one of her many cameras.
"So how are things between you and Li?" Madison whispered as a blushing, stammering Li had his arm shaken off by a relieved Sakura's Dad.
"I'm so glad you were there to help Sakura through the rough time when Grannie had her heart attack! And for being able to go with her so she had another friend from home."
"What's that Thing doing here?" Tori said suddenly, appearing from the crowds.
"Oh, Tori! Li here went with Sakura to Paris!" Sakura's Dad said cheerfully.
Tori glared angrily at Li.
Li, Tori, and Kero could probably all tie in a glaring contest. Sakura sighed inwardly.
"I didn't know the Brat went to Paris with Squirt." Tori growled through gritted teeth.
"Well, he did. Be nice, Tori!" Sakura retorted back. She turned back to Madison.
"Yeah, me and Li are great. Guess what? We're going out." Sakura whispered, careful to not let Tori or her Dad hear.
"WHAT?!?!" Madison screamed, jumping back.
Tori and the others, including everyone in the airport, stared at the now sweatdropping Madison. "Ooops. Sorry about that."
She leaned closer to Sakura. "Truthfully?!? Really?"
Sakura nodded, quite uneasy by Madison's outburst. "Try and keep it down."
"Oh shoot! And the one time I had to forget my camera!"
That night, after dinner, Sakura went up to her room to unpack.
As the suitcase top sprang open, Sakura first noticed the small white envelope lying on top of her clothes.
Opening the letter, Sakura pulled out the paper.
Dear Sakura,
We all really enjoyed your stay in Paris, and even though there were rough times, we'd love to have you back next summer, if it is okay with your father. You are most welcomed to bring Li again. Write to us as soon as is humanly possible and give us your reply.
P.S.- If you would like to bring somewhere else along with Li, you are most welcomed to. Just write and tell us!
Love from Paris,
Grannie Marie, Jacque, and Ranea
Sakura set the letter down and picked up the phone. After two rings, Li picked up.
"Hello?"
"Li? It's me, Sakura."
"Hi, Sakura. What'd you call for?"
"Are you free next summer?"
That's it! It's over! Well, that doesn't mean I can't have a sequel, does it?
Mom: I'm still suspicious. The house is almost too nice. Let's go on a check, Ron.
Dad: Agreed.
(The two begin going through each room, looking for messes. Raye and the others follow.)
Mom: This room looks okay.
(Shuts the door to Alex's room. As the door closes, the walls cracks and paint chips off.)
Dad: This one too.
(Shuts the door. The shelves immediately fall down.)
(Everyone returns to the living room.)
Mom: Well, I still don't quite believe it, but everything seems in perfect order. Good job, kids!
Raye: Oh, it was nothing. It's not like we had anything else to do. (Winks.)
Acknowledgements and Apologies:
I'd like to thank everyone who appeared in my story, and apologize for any embarrassment caused. I hope everyone knows it was just for fun. Well, most of it anyway. I'd like to thank Lauren and Heather, for helping me through tough parts and giving me ideas. Thanks to all my friends for all of the inspiration, and I'd like to say that I don't own diddly-squat from any animes. I just like to write fanfics. I even apologize to some of my not-so-friends I included in this. If any of you read this, sorry. I had to vent my anger, frustration, hate, and loathing for you somewhere, though. If you were offended by any of this, sorry again. I hope you know it's just for fun. Well, most of it anyway. I'd also like to apologize to Ms. Sinic, Max, and others who had to suffer and wait for each new installment. I'm glad that some people like my crappy writing, or at least say they do.
Thanks everyone! Oh, and Psycho, Chris, Amanda. This one's for you.
Love to y'all!
