I'm sorry for the long wait everyone!

Chapter 3:
Sakura opened her eyes. She still felt cold but she was no Longer wet. She found herself standing on a ship. It wasn't the Titanic. The sun was shining and it was very warm. Sakura wore a white sun dress with blue all around the edges and a straw hat on her head. She couldn't see Syaoran at that moment. She noticed her bag looked somewhat similar to the one on the Titanic only now it was blue, matching the blue on her dress. She noticed that, yes, the star pin was still there. She opened up her Sakura book.
"Did Annie and Jane survive after the Titanic?" She asked it.
The book read: Annie Smith died on the Titanic and Jane Brown died when she was 63.
"Annie died. Thats why she could see us. She wasn't safe on a life raft." Sakura shed a tear.
"Hey what are you doing here?" A girl asked. Sakura turned around.
The girl resembled Tomoyo in a way. Black hair and blue eyes. There was a boy next to her. His hair was blond and his Eyes were the same blue as the girls.
"Sorry. I just wandered onto the ship. My dad works around here and I was looking for him. I stopped to look out at the ocean though." The lie came quick.
"Wow! Jeff, theres someone we can finally talk to! I'm Adora Tam. This is my big Brother Jeffery. We call him Jeff though. Our dad is a marine. Yours too huh?"
"Hoe? Yeah he is. I'm Sakura Kinomoto." She noticed that her book was telling her something. She glanced down for a second.
The book said: You are in Hawaii and the year is 1941.
She knew that it would be a bad idea considering the place and the year to mantion that she was Japanese. She didn't know anything about 1941 other than the Japanese American relations were not very good. She had to think up a story.
"So where you from? Jeff and I are from Florida so the weather difference wasn't much. Where are you from?"
"I've never moved actually. I've lived here all my life. My mom was from Britain and my dad was from Washington."
It was the only state she could think of. It was the capitol and thats probably why. Then she remembered something that she scolded herself for forgetting.
"I'm looking for my Boyfriend. His name is Syaoran. He's my age, 16, and he has brown hair and amber eyes."
"Oh that guy on the main land?" Jeff asked gesturing to shore where she saw Syaoran frantically searching for her. He was wearing brown pants and a brown short sleeved top. Almost identical to Jeff's.
"You're sixteen? Thats Jeff's age. I'm fourteen."
"Really? Cool. Well, I'm just going to go tell him I'm okay. Be right back!"
She ran up to Syaoran. He didn't see her coming until she was about 5 feet away from him. He immedeatly turned around and ran up to her and hugged her.
"I thought you were still in 1912! You don't know how scared I was."
"I'm fine Syaoran don't worry. Syaoran... You can let go now."
Syaoran did let go of her. He saw Jeff and Adora come over.
"Syaoran this is Jeff and Adora."
"Hey." Jeff said.
"Whats the date today?" Syaoran asked.
"Syaoran can't you ever remember the date?"
He grined and waited for an answer.
"I don't know...What date is it Adora?"
"Boy you two have something in common! It's the 7th of December."
"Thats right." Syaoran said. Sakura checked her watch.
"Hey Syaoran I think your mom said to be home by 6:00am right? Didn't she want you to meet someone?"
"Oh yeah... I'll see you guys later. Sakura, mom wants to give you some cookies for your dad."
"Okay! Be right back!"
Syaoran and Sakura walked until they couldn't be seen from the naval base. She opened the book. She knew it was time to ask for help from the year 2003.
*~*~*~*~
"Hey look we're getting another message!" Tomoyo said excitedly.
"Whats it say?" Eriol asked.
"Tomoyo: I need to know what happened on December 7th 1941. Find out ASAP. P.S Is your star pin water-proof? -Sakura"
"December 7th 1941? I can't quite remember. Give me a minutes to think it over."
"Sakura: Eriol's thinking it over. We'll have the answer for you in less than 2 minutes your time. Yes my camera is water proof. Its fire proof too ^_^ -Tomoyo"
"December 7th 1941. It was an important date in American and Japanese History...What was it?"
"Japanese History...I remember!" Tomoyo said. "Oh no!"
"Sakura: The 7th of December! You remember... wait you were asleep that history class. That's when the Japanese bombed Pearal Harbour! I think it was 8:00 -Tomoyo"
"Tomoyo: Take a guess where we are. It's 6:07 so we have around two hours. I bet we won't find the card until the Japanese attack. Good thing I told them I was american. -Sakura"
"Sakura: Think about what card could be related to Peral Harbour. By the way what was the card in the Titanic?-Tomoyo"
"Tomoyo: It was the freeze card. No clue what card it could be. There's a lot of possibilities. Stuck here with Bombs about to come down on us. Happy thought isn't it? - Syaoran"
"Syaoran: Just stay away from it then -Tomoyo"
"Tomoyo: Syaoran stole book for a second. Can't stay away because thats where the card is. Do you know the American national anthem?They're going to sing it and we'll look odd if we don't know it. -Sakura"
*~*~*~*~
"Sakura: No I don't. Ask your book. You'd better get going. Stay safe -Tomoyo"
"Good Idea!" She said aloud.
"Sakura - Forget it. We'll just wait until they're done singing."
"I guess."
So they waited. The didn't start till 7:00 am and didn't finish till 7:02 am. After that Syaoran and Sakura headed back over to what they now knew was Peral Harbour.
"There you are! Come on! They said that we could go on the ships!" Adora said, grabbing Sakura and dragging her off.
"Really? Which one?" Sakura asked trying to sound intrested.
"The SS. Arizona."
"Wow!" Sakura really didn't want to go but didn't want to hurt Adora's feelings. She had had enough boats for a lifetime after the Titanic.
Sakura soon forgot her worries. Syaoran decided to stay on shore. Sakura loved the breeze that she was getting from this point of the ship. It was lovley. She could tell Adora was enjoying it too. Adora smiled. The ship wasn't going anywhere really. It was just moving around making sure everything was working. She looked at her watch. 7:53. No big deal. She had 7 minutes according to Tomoyo.
"Fun isn't it? Never been on a ship before?"
"Oh I have. Just not going like this."
"Oh! Wow!" Adora said pointing at the airplanes in the sky. They looked familer. They were Japanese! Adora didn't recognize them. No one could better than her.
"Adora! Those are Japanese planes!" She accedently blurted out. All the sailors stared at her.
"Are you sure about this miss?"
"I SWEAR to you! I have a cousin who lives there! I've visited him those are Japanese Planes! They're going to bomb us!"
The men looked closer at the planes. The Japanese flag was there. It was very tiny and not too visable but it was there. She was right.
"Quickly men! We're going back to warn Peral harbour!"
One of the men turned to Sakura.
"You may have just saved a bunch of lives little lady."
"Hurry!" She said.
"Wow Sakura! Imagine if you hadn't been here today!"
*~*~*~*~
"Attention all ships! This is the SS Arizona! A young lady on our ship has spotted Japanese planes heading our way! We are under attack. I repeat, We are under attack!"
"Sakura!" Syaoran called.
Jeff looked at him. They were in the same situation. Someone they loved was out on that ship.
They saw the Japanese bombers go right over the ship and drop a bomb. They had relized it was no longer a surprise. Syaoran and Jeff watched in Horror as the bomb exploded. They both covered thier eyes. They looked up and all they could do was wonder if they were okay.
*~*~*~*~
Sakura grabbed hold of Adora just before the bomb exploded. They were both sent sailing through the air. They landed in different places. Sakura looked up and saw that the bombs just kept coming.
Sakura saw Adora come next to her. Fire suddenly surrounded both of them. That was it! The card was Firey! But she couldn't catch it with Adora around. What should she do? Hide under water-. Yes! Hide under the water and capture it. No one can see properly under water anyways. Sakura took a deep breath and dove under.
"Oki no chikara o himeshi kagi yo! Shin no sugata o ware no mae ni shimese. Keiyaku no moto Sakura ga meijiru!....Release!!!" Sakura clled under the water. She needed air. So badly. Then she noticed something. There were pink bubbles underneath. Two cards? two cards or one she knew this was the bubble card. She dropped her staff in an effort to get air.
"Sakura!"
"Swim to shore Adora!"
"But Sak-"
She took a deep breath and went back down.
"Bubble! Return to your master and become a card!" Sakura said. She was running out of air again. Thats when she thought of a plan.
"Bubble! Surround my head to help me breathe." Bubble did and Sakura felt relieved. She could breathe again. She took the Sakura book out from her bag and swam to the bottom. She wrote a message to Tomoyo.
*~*~*~*~
"Tomoyo: Pearl Harbour being bombed. Syaoran safe on shore. I'm underwater. Found bubble card.Need to talk to Eriol. -Sakura"
"Sakura: Sakura what are you doing underwater? Don't you recall that the ships sank? What do you need? -Eriol"
"Eriol: Is it possible to have two cards in the same time? -Sakura"
"Sakura: Get out from underwater and yes. -Eriol"
"Eriol: If I get out of underwater I'll be seen with my magic. Bad Idea -Sakura"
*~*~*~*~
"Sakura: Stay safe. Don't let any ships sink on you -Tomoyo."
"Firey! Return to your master and become a card!" Sakura yelled from under the water. The card obeyed and floated into her hand.
Sakura decided that the best way to get back to shore would be to swim. She swam about half way there and got tired. She looked up and saw a ship coming down. It was almost on top of her!
"HOE!"
She quickly moved to one side as the ship landed right next to her. She sighed. She got lucky that time. She decided maybe it was better to swim near the surface. She pushed off from the bottom, but she immedeatly fell backwards. As if someone was holding her down. She looked to where the ship was and saw it. A large portion of her dress was caught under it. She was trapped.
*~*~*~*~
"Adora! Are you ok?"
"I'm fine Jeff but Sakura-"
"Where is she? Is she ok?!"
"I don't know Syaoran. She never came up. I'm afraid she drowned."
"No!" Syaoran said. Jeff looked at him sympathetically. More bombs dropped from the sky. Jeff and Adora ran to saftey.
He couldn't just sit there. What if she was in trouble.
*~*~*~*~
Sakura tried again to free herself from the ships grasp. nothing happened. She was stuck down here for a while. How would she ever get out? Suddenly she saw a sword come slashing down next to her. She looked up. Syaoran! He had come to save her.
"Syaoran! My dress is caught! I can't get out!"
Syaoran gave her a thumbs up. He lifted his sword to cut it - and dropped his sword. He swam up to the surface. Sakura understood. He couldn't hold his breath for very long.
He came back down Shortly and cut her free. He swam up quickly to get another breath of fresh air. Sakura decided right then that this was the best spot to leave for the next card.
"If the next place and time is anyway involved with water or ships I will NOT be happy." Sakura said. Syaoran laughed and a bunch of bubbles emerged from his mouth.
"Time take us to the next card!" She said. She saw the Time card glow and closed her eyes.
'I wonder where we're going next?'
*~*~*~*~
Hehe. I finished! Yay! 6 pages! Woah. Ok so R+R and I'll have next chapter up ASAP. My last exam was yesterday so things look good.
