Chapter Eight: The Last Laugh
***********
[Sakura's home, three months later]
"Sakura, you haven't laughed since the brat left so I've taken the liberty of arranging a date for you with Madison. I thought she'd cheer you up."
"Thank Kero, but there's nothing to laugh about now-"
"Madison's here."
Sakura walked down the stairs and opened the front door to a smiling Madison.
"Hey, Sakura. Long time no see. So anything interesting?"
"Nope."
"Sakura," said Madison as they walked to Sakura's room. "I've got a new video camera and it has the functions of a computer."
Madison babbled on about video cameras for over three hours. She didn't even realise that Sakura had drifted off to sleep in her first hour.
"So, modern technology is very, and I again state, very complicated. Sakura?"
Sakura woke with a start.
"Yeah Madison."
"I tell you what I want most, my old Sakura back. Oh my goodness, it's 4pm already. Geez time went fast. See ya Sakura,"
"Bye Madison. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"School."
****************
[When Madison has left]
"Kero, I'm going to check the mail. I'll be back soon," said Sakura in a monotonous tone.
After two minutes, a puffing Sakura raged into the room.
"Kero, where did this come from?"
Sakura handed Kero a package. It read:
Kero c/o Sakura Avalon
"Dunno but I'm gonna open it."
Kero ripped open the package to find a packet of freshly wrapped chocolates."
"YUM!"
He started stuffing chocolates into his mouth and it took him two minutes to realise that it wasn't chocolate. He stopped eating with a look of disgust on his face.
"Mud. YUK!"
Sakura laughed her first laugh in months and meanwhile in Hong Kong, Li laughed the loudest of all.
"I knew that stuffed animal would fall for it." Then he stuffed a REAL chocolate into his mouth.
