Last dance vows

Chapter four: A stroll in the park

She walked along the sidewalk of her neighborhood. It was a crisp spring day, and one to enjoy, and as she walked she noticed something…the old park she use to go to all the time. It stayed the same as before…with it's penguin slide. The auburn haired girl smiled, such sweet memories. The days are numbered now, and she won't have these fond memories as she did before.

Even though the park was a block away from her own home, she hasn't stepped a foot in it since middle school graduation. Sakura sighed heavily, "Just one last time."

Her movements got closer to the park and she smiled even more. It was then she noticed Tomoyo sitting on one of the swings, going back and forth. "Hi Tomoyo-Chan."

The amethyst-eyed girl looked up and gave a small smile. She whispered a hello and kept looking at the ground. Sakura walked over next to her cousin and sat down on another swing and swung.

Tomoyo sighed and looked up into the azure sky, "I can't believe it."

"What?"

"Our high school lives are almost over. Prom is in the next two weeks…then we graduate," she said sadly.

Sakura frowned at her friend, though she stayed calm, "Don't think like that."

"But its true Kura, no matter what we do or say…its coming fast."

"Yep, but that's why the things we cherish are oh so precious," she explained while kicking her legs back and forth into the sand, "we shouldn't just stand around moping about how we are going to shed tears and sign yearbooks, but treasure the prized minutes we have left."

Tomoyo looked astonished and stared at Sakura, "Wow, I didn't know you were that deep."

The emerald-eyed girl frowned even more, "I am smart you know."

"Really? I haven't noticed," Tomoyo teased. "Oh shut up!" the girl said while laughing. As both began to talk, two new characters walked into the scene, and to the girl's utter surprise, it was Syaoran and Eriol.

"What are you guys doing here?" Syaoran asked while taking the swing next to Sakura. "Memories," Sakura mumbled. Eriol made his way on the swing to the left of Tomoyo and smiled. "Sure does bring back a lot of them."

Syaoran laughed. "Like back in sixth grade."            

"Ugh don't remind me," Sakura mumbled. Tomoyo grinned and nudged Sakura, "Aw, it wasn't that bad of a year."

"Well not for you! I acted like such an idiot at the one week camp," the auburn haired girl exclaimed, "It is so humiliating!"

"Just because you were crushing on Yukito that time…"           

Sakura turned all red faced, "I did not have a crush on him!"

"That's not what you told me a while back!" Tomoyo mocked. "Or were you crushing on a certain someone?"

The eighteen-year-old girl growled and smacked her cousin over the head, "Shut up."

"Owie!"

Syaoran gazed at Sakura with a small smile. As both girls were drowning in a conversation, he thought about the prom and how everything would turn out. 'I wonder if we'll actually get our last dance…maybe I wont have to hear that she forgot all about the promise we made…it was such a strong one…a bond that brought us closer together.'

"Uh Sy-Chan? Are you there? Earth to Sy-Chan," Sakura said quietly while poking Syaoran. She then pushed him lightly and he fell of his swing…. head first. He finally got out of his trance and shook his head. "What's the big idea!?"

"Hmph, not my fault you weren't listening," she huffed. "We'll we were saying that we're going to get an ice cream…wanna come?"

"Oh um…sure," he sighed while getting up from the ground. He ruffled his hair and walked along with his friends. Meanwhile, as Sakura was walking, she was thinking the same thing. 'Just forget it, he doesn't remember…no matter what…it's all al lie. The last dance is for the prom queen and king, and I'll never get my chance. It's so sad how we drifted apart. Even as childhood glided away, we spent our teen years together, the promise still in mind…'

The rest of the day was of talking to each other and spending their childhood over in that day. The prom was coming up…two weeks to be exact. Those two weeks shall be spent in promoting and getting the position of prom queen. Tomoyo and Eriol are going to do everything in their power to get Sakura and Syaoran their last dance…no matter what it takes.

The next day at school, Sakura walked down the halls with Syaoran and into their classroom. They noticed their evil bitch of a teacher wasn't there and sat back with ease. "I can't believe it, Mrs. Kumoshiro is never late!" squealed one girl.

Sakura scoffed, "That's because the bitch got fired."

The girl's eyes widened in shock, "You're lying! She was the nicest teacher ever!"

"Yeah right, the only reason she puts up with your two dollar whore act is because your dad is the part of the mayor's league." Syaoran said monotonously, "She got fired and that's what she deserved."

"No she didn't!"

"Wanna bet?" Sakura challenged, "Sy and I bet you a hundred bucks she got fired and we'll get a sub."

The girl sneered, "Like you have a hundred bucks."

"Watch is slut," Sakura growled. "Take it or leave it."

"Fine deal!"

"That's the easiest hundred dollars I got," Syaoran said with a goofy grin.

Just then the door opened, and in walked the principal. "Students, after further complaints, Mrs. Kumoshiro have left us. I would like to introduce your new substitute…Mr. Kinomoto."

Touya walked in with a case in some normal clothes. Sakura and Syaoran's face's faulted and paled with horror. "TOUYA?"

"That's Mr. Kinomoto to you squirt," he said while settling in his chair.

"I didn't know he was that smart," Syaoran mumbled, "The big idiot actually got a job."

"I heard that Li gaki, lunch detention for you."

"Shit."

"You can say that again."
