Sakura in Paris 2
Part Two: The First Night

{Author's Note: I am crazy. I admit that. And to quote myself, "My friends are wak." And since we're so loopy, be on the look-out for references to paranormal activities, strange movies, and lunatics. Thank you.}
Raye: This looks like a good campsite....
(Effigies of the Blair Witch are hanging everywhere, and there appears to be fresh graves in the clearing.....)
Ameoba Boy: You're wak.
Raye & Max & Ms. Sinic: Thanx!
Psycho: Cousin Blair! Cousin Blair! Are you home?
(Eerie silence.)
Psycho: Huh. I guess she's not....
(Low growls in the bushes, screams in the distance, twigs cracking everywhere, and night is falling....)
Ameoba Boy: This is gonna be a long weekend.....


{Disclaimer}
Funny, huh? How my fic part is called the First Night and me and the Gang are trying to survive our First Night.
Isn't it Ironic?
(Gang starts singing "Ironic" by Alanis Morisette.)
Clamp owns Cardcaptors.
I just use the characters in my fics.
(Gang continues singing around the campfire....)


"This is nice." Madison sighed happily. She, Li, Sakura, and Kero were sitting in the Garden.
"Cooky hasn't changed a bit!" Kero said, patting his extremely swollen stomach.
Sakura leaned closer to Li. "Nothing's changed. Isn't that great?"
Li nodded in agreement. "But at least that jerk Tom isn't around anymore."
"Grannie Marie says he has sessions with psychiatrists now!" Sakura said through uncontrolled giggles.
"Serves him right for everything he did!" Madson retorted angrily. "Anyone that wants to hurt Sakura deserves whatever he gets!"
"Chere`! Madame` Marie says it's time to come in! Bedtime!" Ranea called from the porch.
"Coming, Ranea! Just a moment!" Sakura called back as she stood and stretched. Scooping up a now snoring Kero, she followed Li and Madison into the brightly lit mansion.

Madison plopped onto the bed besides Sakura's. The two had decided to share Sakura's room together, which was directly across the hall from Li's own large room.
"Wow. This place is unbelievable." Madison whispered quietly, staring around the room as she picked up her pillow and plopped it in her lap.
"Isn't it?" Sakura mumbled from the bathroom, where she was brushing her teeth. Emptying her cup and turning out the light, Sakura joined Madison and jumped onto her own feather-mattressed bed.
Sakura giggled as an especially loud snore erupted from her dresser, where Kero was sleeping quite soundly and not so peacefully in her sock drawer.
"Our house is nice, but not this nice." Madison said. "Not that I'm complaining or anything. Sometimes, I just wish I had a normal, small house. You can get lost in my house. And with so many maids and such rushing around, it makes it feel like you're in a hotel instead of a house."
"Grannie's got plenty of maids and servants and butlers, but they've been really good friends of hers for years and years and years, so they seem like family." Sakura said cheerfully as she took her Sealing Wand necklace off and set it on the bedside table between her and Madison's bed.
"Let's stay up for a while, Sakura! Like at our sleep-overs!" Madison pleaded.
Sakura giggled. "Just what I was going to suggest!"

"So who do you have a crush on that goes to our school?" Sakura asked.
Madison blushed deeply, and even in the dim firelight from the crackling fireplace, Sakura could see it easily.
"No one really."
"Now, I just don't believe that, Madison! Come on! You can tell me! Who is he?"
"No one! I really don't have a crush on anyone from our school!"
"That just means he doesn't go to our school. Do I know him?"
"Ummm....."
"I do, don't I! Who he is? Please???"
Madison sighed. "You don't know him that well....."
"What's his name?"
"Have you and Li kissed yet?"
Sakura was surprised by the sudden change of subject, almost as much as the question itself. Now, she could feel herself going red in the face.
"Ummm......"
Madison grinned. "I'll strike a deal with you."
"What?"
"You don't bug me about who I like, and I won't ask you another embarrassing question like that again."
Sakura pouted. "No fair, Madison!"
"It seems perfectly fair to me! How about it?"
Sakura humphed, crossing her arms. "Fine! But only because you really don't want to tell me and I know I can get it out of you anytime."
Madison giggled. "Thanks. Listen, I'm starting to get pretty tired. What time is it?"
Sakura looked down at the watch Julian had given her {yes, she still has it, even after five years}. "My watch says it's 5:32."
"Can we try to get a couple hours of sleep? I don't know if I can stand one of your Grannie's shopping excursions you've told me about without at least some sleep."
"Fine by me! G'night, Madison."
"Good night."


Yeah, I know. This chapter actually spanned into the first day, so sue me!
No! Don't!
Not really! Please!
I've nothing to my name!
Not even a measly nickle!
(Raye suddenly realizes someone's in her tent with her...)
Raye: EEEKKKKK!!! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!!
(Raye begins beating the "someone" with a very large Brian Jacques book.)
The someone: Owwwwww! Stop it, Raye!
Raye (Panting and out of breath): Ameoba Boy?!?
Ameoba Boy: What was that you pounded me with?!? It felt like a dictionary.
(Raye picks up a flashlight and turns it on, looking down at her book.)
Raye: OHMYGOD!! YOU BENT THE LONG PATROL!!!! {Author's Note: The Long Patrol is a book by British author Brian Jacques, my fav author. I hold his books in reverence and awe equal to Max with her Logan obsession...}
(Raye begins beating Ameoba Boy with her pillow.)
Ameoba Boy (Muffled by the pillow): OWWWWWW!
Raye: What in the Hell are you doing in my tent anyway, Drew?!?!
Ameoba Boy: Don't call me that!!
Raye: Then answer me!!!!
Ameoba Boy: I heard a noise so I-
Raye: Came over to hide with me?
(Ameoba Boy nods sheepishly.)
Ameoba Boy: I was really scared.
(Raye looks at him for a moment, and Ameoba Boy thinks she feels sympathy for him when-)
Raye: GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!
(Raye picks Ameoba Boy up and throws him out of her tent.)
Ameoba Boy: But Raye!
(The tent entrance zips up in his face.)
Ameoba Boy: I'm scared.....
(Wolf howls in the distance. Ameoba Boy whimpers.)
Raye: How dare he bend my book!??!?!?!
