************************************************************************************************

Sakura wake up in a nicely decorated room. She frowns, for a moment she couldn't remember where she is. Then she remembered last night, Sakura walked over to the window and pull the curtain aside, she looked outside and saw a huge garden with flowers blooming everywhere, she opened the window and took a deep breath of the fresh air as the wind brushes against her hair. Sakura find her clothes at the foot of the bed and when she picks it up she notice it is not her clothe, it's a light pink dress with a star in the middle.

*Tomoyo must've got this for me.* thought Sakura happily as she put it on. She looked into the mirror and to her amazement it fit her perfectly. She opened the door and went downstairs. She arrived at the breakfast table and find that Tomoyo, Meilin and Syaoran is already there.

"Hi everybody!" smiled Sakura cheerfully as she pulled out the chair beside Syaoran.

"No! you can't sit there!" said Meilin suddenly as she get up

"Then where was I suppose to sit?"

"Over there." Meilin said as she carried the chair over to the other side of the table.

Syaoran swear dropped.

"Syaoran! You want to go out the garden and take a walk? With me?" asked Meilin

Syaoran didn't even get a chance to answer when Meilin dragged Syaoran's arm and pull him outside

"So Sakura, do you like the new outfit I made for you?" asked Tomoyo

"Yes! Its so kawaii!"

"What do you say we go out the garden too, it's such a great day!"

"Okay!"

At the garden:

The sky is perfectly blue with fluffy white clouds, although the air is still a little chilly.

"Meilin! What were you thinking last night! Running away from home?" shouted Syaoran "You could've been in great danger if we didn't come and look for you."

"Sorry..." said Meilin as she look at the ground sadly.

"Well...oh well, just don't do it again." Syaoran sighed

"Does that mean you're not mad at me anymore?" asked Meilin hopefully

"Yes, I'm not mad at you anymore, just don't do it-"

"Oooooooo, Syaoran! I love you!" smiled Meilin as she hugged Syaoran tightly

"Meilin, I can't breathe!"

"Wait here Syaoran, I'll go get you something to drink!" said Meilin as she runs towards the house

"But I'm not thirsty-" yelled Syaoran after Meilin

Syaoran sighed

"Hey Syaoran!" Sakura popped out from bunch of trees.

"Oh...hi"

"Wow! Cherry blossoms!" exclaimed Sakura as she looked at the tree at the far end of the garden. "Come on!" Sakura grabbed Syaoran's hand and led him to the tree.

"Do you know what does my name means?" asked Sakura

"No."

"It means cherry blossoms!"

"Nice name."

"Thanks."

"Err- Sakura?"

"There! You called me Sakura again!"

"Mmm...I'm just wondering if- I could call you Sakura...Don't get any wrong ideas, it's just that Sakura its much easier to say than Kinomoto and- it looks like you have to live with us for a while and-"

"Sure! You can call me Sakura!" smiled Sakura happily. "Let's go over the fountain!" Then Sakura suddenly tripped over a rock, when Sakura was just about to fall on the ground Syaoran quickly put his hand around her waist and stopped her from the fall.

Sakura looked up and blushed, Syaoran's face is so close to hers! Then Sakura notice how handsome Syaoran is. "Thanks..."

"Uh, no problem..." Syaoran blushing too. *She's so beautiful!*

Just then Meilin came around the corner carrying a tray of snacks and two glass of lemonade and spotted Syaoran holding Sakura, both blushing

*Oh that Kinomoto girl! She's stealing Syaoran away from me! But I'm not going to lose to you so easily... so you better watch out...*

At night:

"Err...Sakura?"

"Yeah?" asked Sakura turning around and saw Meilin waiting for her at her bedroom door. "Oh hi Meilin!"

"Sakura, I know I hadn't been nice to you since the moment we meet so I was wondering if we could be friends?" asked Meilin sweetly

A little startled "Sure! I'll be your friend!"

"Great! Can I count you on something?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, you see, I lost my favorite ring at the spring behind the garden while I came here and visiting Tomoyo. So I was wondering if you could bring it back to me? Don't worry, the spring isn't deep, I'm sure you can found it!"

"Alright! I'll find it for you." Sakura smiled as she went down the stairs and went out the backdoor to the garden.

Sakura shivered against the cold wind and the freezing night air, she had brought her Clow cards in her backpack just incase something happened. Soon Sakura approached the spring, but it didn't fit Meilin's description, it looks deep and dark. Sakura looked around to see if there are anymore springs but this is the only one.

Sakura took off her jacket and put it on the shore, she took a deep breath and jumped into the water.

*The water is freezing! And it's really deep too.* Sakura can felt her hands and feet go numb and she's sinking deeper and deeper until she couldn't see the soft light of the moonlight anymore. Then suddenly something grabbed one of her feet, she looked down and saw a sea plant around her foot. Sakura felt panicking, she's beginning to run out of the air...

Meanwhile at the mansion:

Syaoran's wondering around the hallway and somehow she wants to knock on Sakura's door and ask her if she wants to take a walk. He shakes his head *What I'm thinking! That girl- I had only know her for few days and yet she's-" Then he heard someone gasp, he walked towards the sound and find himself standing in front of Meilin's bedroom door. Syaoran lean closer and heard a conversation:

"You did WHAT! You know the spring is dangerous! How can you get such idea!?" gasped Tomoyo's voice.

"I'm a genies aren't I? I told that Kinomoto girl that I had lost a ring in the spring and I told her to get it and she actually falls for it! How stupid can she get!"

"How could you do that to her! Sakura's really nice! What did she ever do to deserve that?"

"She steals Syaoran away from me! She's always acting so innocent and stuff but I deep down she's a little devil!"

"Meilin! How can you say such thing about Sakura! She might be in great danger right now!

"I know, but if Kinomto can survive the fall from the cliff she sure can survive this!" said Meilin's voice.

"I don't believe you Meilin! I'll have to go and tell Syaoran, we still might save Sakura!"

"There's no need to tell me that." Syaoran said as he opened the door with a thud

"Hi...Syaoran..." smiled Meilin weakly

"You-you...you're evil Meilin Li! I'm ashamed to have a cousin like you!" shouted Syaoran as he rushed out the door of Meilin's door.

"Syaoran-I..." said Meilin now with tears running down her face.

At the a spring...

*Help! Someone help! I'm suffocating!* coughed Sakura as she shut her eyes to prevent water go into her eyes. *Forgive me Yue, mother, father, Touya and the people of moon kingdom...I-* Sakura's thought hadn't even finish when she faint.

Sakura's dream or something like that...

Sakura walks down a hill and saw the silver moon palace, then she saw the people that she cared deeply waiting there-

"Sakura don't give up, you can do it." Nadasha said

"Be brave Sakura, always believe in yourself!" smiled Fujitaka

"Hey squirt, you'll be okay!" said Touya as he gave Sakura a thumb up sign

"Princess, we're all counting on you!" said Yue

"Sakura, please come back, I'll always call you by your first name!" smiled Syaoran

"Sakura, let's be friends!" said Meilin

"I'll make you a kawaii costume with cherry blossoms on it!" smiled Tomoyo

"You'll be alright..." said a deep yet warm voice which sounds familiar but Sakura couldn't remember it.

Then suddenly Sakura's eyes snapped open again. She felt warmth around her and she was able to hold her breathe again as if she had taken a deep long breathe. Sakura took out her Clow cards from her bag and hold her Clow key necklace and concentrate.

*Key that hides the force of the moon, show your true form before me, I, Sakura command you under contract, RELEASE!*

A bright light formed around Sakura as the Clow key turn to a wand.

*Sword card, release and dispel! Turn to a sword and cut the sea plant through! Release!*

The wand turn to a sword which Sakura cut it swiftly through the plant that had tangled her foot. Then she saw something sparkling and she grabbed it.

*Bubble card, take me up to the surface! Release and dispel!*

A large bubble formed around Sakura as it took her out of the spring and on to the land. Just when the bubble disappeared Syaoran and Tomoyo came running up to Sakura.

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay Sakura?" cried Tomoyo looking at Sakura dripping wet.

"Yeah-I think (cough) so-I'm (cough) okay..." smiled Sakura weakly

"Sakura..." said Syaoran close to tears as he hold Sakura's head up. "You know Meilin didn't lost a ring, you're so stupid..."

"I know Meilin didn't lost her ring (cough) But-I want to be her friend..." Sakura said looking up at Syaoran.

"Oh Sakura..."

"Oh yeah, (cough) give this to Meilin... I couldn't find a ring so (cough) take this..." said Sakura as she opened her hand and give the sparkling object she had find under water to Syaoran. "I thought- I thought...this is really pretty, although is only a rock but it does look like a ring..." Sakura used up her last energy as she fainted

"Sakura...I will give this pretty rock to Meilin... I promise..."
