***Schoolyard Wednesday afternoon***

"AHHH!!" A circle of girls screeched. Heads turned to stare at the googly-eyed girls only causing them to giggle.

"Wow, a huge slumber party how cool!!" Rita's eyes dazed over.

"I know! I was so happy when my mother said that it was okay!" Nikki giggled.

"Who are you inviting?" Chelsea inquired.

"EVERYONE!!!" Nikki squealed.

"Everyone?" Sakura piped up.

"Yea everyone in our class, well all the girls I mean." Nikki said blushing slightly as she passed out slips of paper.

Was written on the invitations in Nikki's neat handwriting. "Well I have to go you guys. My mother needs me home. I hope you can all come. I'll see you later!" Nikki said turning and walking home.

"Wow! This is going to be a blast! Don't you think Madison?" Sakura asked as the rest of the group started to disperse. But the wheels in Madison's mind were already spinning. "Madison? You Hoo Madison..." Sakura said waving her hand in front of Madison's face. "MAD-I-SON!" Sakura said quite loudly.

"O who, what?" Madison snapped out of it. Sakura sweatdropped.

"What were you thinking about?" Sakura asked suspiciously.

"Who? Me? Nothing, nothing at all." Madison replied though it didn't foul Sakura for one second. She knew Madison way to well to believe that. Sakura's eyes glazed over as she reminisced in her thoughts about the time when her and Madison first met…

¤¤~~Flashback~~¤¤

"La la la la!" The little 4-year old Sakura playfully hummed as she sat on her little tushie in the sandbox. In the distance her proud father smiled down on his little cherry blossom.

"Sakura honey!" He called out from the bench he was perched on.

"Yea daddy?" She screamed back.

"How does a little ice cream sound?" He asked with a wonderful grin on his face.

Sakura's huge green orbs widened, "Ice cream?!?"

"Can I have some too Dad? O and one for my new friend Julian!" Tori skipped up with a young boy trailing him.

"Of course so that's three ice creams coming right up! I know what kind Tori and Sakura want, but what about you Julian?" Sakura's dad asked kneeling down so he was eye to eye with the small 8-year old. Julian fell back in thought for a second before replying.

"Could I have a triple scoop, with chocolate, cookie dough, and chocolate chip. O and can I get chocolate syrup on it too?" The innocent Julian asked.

"Whoa! Are you sure you can eat all that?" Sakura's dad asked. Julian nodded in response. "Okay it's your stomach kiddo," he laughed. He turned to Tori, "Keep an eye on Sakura while I go buy the ice creams."

"Gotcha Dad!" He called as his father walked to the nearby concession stand. "Now you stay here and play in the sandbox while me and Julian go over and play on the swings okay Sakura?"

Sakura nodded as she held her shovel up with one hand and had her other pointer finger in her mouth. The two boys ran over to where two open swings laid limp in the warm summer breeze.

"I bet I can swing higher than you!" Tori cried happily as he pumped his legs fast and furious.

"I bet you can't!" Julian screeched matching Tori's speed.

"AHHHHHH AH!" Sakura screamed along as she hit the bottom of her small pink pail with her shovel.

"Hey little girl this is our sandbox!" A couple of big 6-year olds came up behind Sakura. She looked up in horror at the big kids standing before her. She felt tears welling up.

"Hi! Can I play with you?" A small girl with long silky black hair and big round violet eyes sat down content in the sandbox with her ice cream cone in hand.

"Not another one! Get out this is our sandbox!" The second little brat said.

"Who says?" The new little girl asked hands on her hips.

'O where are you Daddy?' Sakura thought helplessly as she watched the scene unfold infront of her.

"We do! I'm Brad and this is Frank and this is OUR sandbox. Everyone knows it!" Brad said angrily as he pushed Madison down in the sand.

SPLAT

"My ice cream!" Madison wailed tears streaked her small face.

"That wasn't very nice." Sakura said as she looked onto her new friend with a fallen face.

"Do you want some too?!?" Frank said boldly. Sakura recoiled in fear.

"HEY! What are you two doing?" Tori streaked up to protect his little sister and her tear-stained friend.

"T-T-Tori Avalon! I'm sorry. We didn't know this was your sister!" Brad's voice arose with horror as his sidekick Frank already sulked off.

"It doesn't matter whose little sister it is! You shouldn't push people around like that!" Tori preached with a sharp tone of voice. But his sermon fell on deaf ears as the two boys scurried away. Tori turned to Sakura as she comforted her new friend.

"Tori come over here and help me!" Sakura's dad called as he helplessly tried to juggle four ice cream cones. Tori rushed over and took three of the four ice cream cones from the struggling father. Tori walked cautiously over to the group of kids huddled around the small sandbox. He gave Julian and Sakura their ice creams and immediately dug into his.

"Here…" Sakura held out her cold creamy treat. Madison sniffled.

"Me?" She asked rubbing her eyes with her dirty hands. Sakura nodded as she pushed the cone into Madison's hands.

"Thanks" Madison whispered as Sakura glowed with happiness. The rest of the day the two girls played merrily and cried when they had to go their separate ways.

"Pinkie Promise we'll be friends forever?" Madison held out her small pinkie to Sakura as she stood by her Father's leg.

"What?" She asked puzzled. Madison took Sakura pinkie and interlocked it with hers.

"Now we'll be friends forever!" Madison smiled.

"Right, friends forever!" Sakura giggled.

¤¤~~End of Flashback~~¤¤

"Right Madison. Whatever you say." Sakura shook her head as she awoke from her dream world. "Listen, I have to go. But I'll call you okay?"

"Gotcha. O and Sakura…"

"Yea?" she asked turning around.

"Uh, nevermind. Don't forget about that science project we are doing together." Madison covered.

"Sure Madison. I won't forget." Sakura nodded before walking home. 'Something is up to Madison. And I'm going to get to the bottom of it. If it's the last thing I do!' Sakura vowed silently as she shuffled home.

***Sakura's House***

"I'm HOOOOMMMMEEE!!" Sakura called as she burst through the front door. "Hello… hmm, guess no one is home." Sakura spoke to herself. She made her way up to her room when she heard a strange noise. She stopped in her tracks startled. Sakura approached her room cautiously. It was coming from in there. "K-K-Kero?" She whispered shakily.

No reply.

'Could it be a Clow Card?' Sakura pondered. 'But than why wouldn't me or Li have sensed it.'

CREAK

Sakura poked at the door cautiously open trying not to make the door creak. Well, that didn't work. So hoping that no one would pay attention to the noise she pushed the door open. "OOP" Sakura squeaked as she pressed herself against the wall. The strange noise stopped abruptly. 'O Sakura you've done it know!' Sakura thought swallowing hard.

"Just go on."

'That sounded like Kero's voice!' Sakura jumped a bit. 'But who is he talking to?' Sakura strained even harder to here the conversation but to her surprise all noise seemed to cut off. Quickly debating what to do she slipped into the room. "WHAT?"
