Friday
"Sakura!!! Get down here right now!"
Sakura Kinomoto rolled onto her stomach. She'd got only six hours of sleep, working herself past midnight to finish her homework and study for a history quiz on Julius Caesar yada, yada. How hard could that be? Hard beyond imagining. Who cared what his last words were anyway?
Maybe she was just a bit grumpy, being deprived of sleep after all. Sakura rolled over again, falling onto the floor, pulling the sheets with her.
Sakura yawned, "Oh I'm sooooooo tired!"
"Sakura hurry it up! We're going to be late for school!"
"Alright Tomoyo, I'm going!" shouted Sakura, a bit louder than expected.
Sakura felt a little tap on her back. Slowly, she turned around to see who it was.
"Boo!"
"Gah, Kero! Don't scare me like that!"
Kero shook his head. Was tapping someone on the back such a crime these days?
"Sorry about that, Kero. It's just that I…" started Sakura.
"Got like five hours of sleep again?" asked the small, winged guardian.
"Well actually I had six hours last night."
"Nope, it was five. You were snoring and talking in your sleep for an hour." Said Kero in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Oh alright Kero, if you say so. I'm going to school now," answered Sakura, leaving the room in her pjs.
'Hmm, must be another hard history test in school,' thought Kero, sinking back into the drawer.
Downstairs, in the kitchen"Morning Tomoyo," yawned Sakura, filling a bowl of cereal with orange juice.
"Morning to yourself, Sakura. Oh and you're using orange juice again!" answered Tomoyo.
Sakura peered into the bowl of cereal. Cheerios with honey and strawberries as usual, with some orange stuff too.
Tomoyo sweatdropped, looking at the poor sleepless brunette.
"Sakura, why don't you just have some pancakes and syrup? Unless you prefer orange cereal." Joked Tomoyo.
"Oh Tomoyo, of course I'd prefer your cooking any day towards my cereal!" exclaimed Sakura, taking the milk jug and plate of pancakes.
"Oh no you don't," said Tomoyo, stopping Sakura from pouring milk onto her pancakes.
"Gee, thanks Tomoyo, I'm just a bit tired today. I've got a History Exam,"
"Oh dear," said Tomoyo, cleaning a plate that once had her pancakes on them.
Sakura ignored that last comment. All she wanted was to get to school and get it over with. The test couldn't be all that bad, could it? Everything would be just fine.
As the two girls finished cleaning up, Kero sneaked into the kitchen.
'Oh goody, I'll be getting some pudding!' thought Kero, as he stood behind the potted plant.
"Kero, we can see your wings popping out on the sides of the plant!" they said, locking the fridge.
Kero started to whine, floating back up the stairs and into his little drawer. He found a little box with a note saying:
Kero,
Sakura, Touya, Yukito and I have been chowing down on some delicious strawberry shortcake and we thought you might want some. We as in Sakura and I. Sadly, Touya and Yukito took the last ones. So, Sakura saved you a bit of hers. You'll find it pretty small. But don't worry; when she gets back, you can just use a card.
PS: The Clow Book's in the bottom drawer with the lock on it. And the key is somewhere in the living room!
You know who, T.D.
"Tomoyo! Why have you forsaken me so?" cried Kero, opening the little box.
Inside, was indeed the little piece of shortcake, with a mini fork inside.
'With a cake this small, who needs a fork?' thought Kero.
On the Way to School
"So Sakura, how much do you remember about History?" asked Tomyo.
"Oh it's about something to nothing." Answered Sakura, shivering.
"Oh Sakura, you must be freezing in those pjs!"
"Oh no!!! I'm still in my PJs?" asked a terrified Sakura.
"Yes, apparently so," said Tomoyo, hiding a giggle.
Sakura looked at her PJs. They were the fluffy white ones with little winged hearts for the design.
'Oh great,' thought Sakura, roller-blading a bit slower.
"Don't worry Sakura, I've got extra clothes in my emergency kit!" said Tomoyo.
"Really, Tomoyo?"
Tomoyo nodded.
"Oh thanks so much Tomoyo! You are the best!" cried Sakura, hugging Tomoyo tightly.
"Okay, Sakura, that's enough hugging!" wheezed Tomoyo.
They arrived at school with a tardy and thankfully, none of their classmates saw them. Sakura went to the washrooms to get changed. Tomoyo had three lovely outfits for her. One was a casual sleeveless red shirt with dark blue jeans; another one was a formal navy blue suit with a matching skirt and the last one was a nice white short-sleeved shirt, with a tie and a black skirt.
"Hmm, I think I'll have to say that I can't run in a formal suit. Then those jeans look pretty tight, um, I'll just take the white and black." Said Sakura, changing her clothes and combing her messy hair. She added a nice pink ribbon to her hair and then she was off to class.
P.E. Outdoors
"Sakura Kinomoto, you're 20 minutes late! I want 10 laps, 20 pushups and 30 sit-ups!"
"Yes Coach Yurikama." Answered Sakura.
"And change that skirt will you?" asked the Coach, somewhat amused.
"Yes sir!"
Sakura ran into the change rooms and changed into her gym strip. Then, she ran the 10 laps and finished the 20 pushups. Then she made her tired self, do 30 sit-ups.
"Alright Kinomoto, you're already late for your next class. Get a move on!" yelled the Coach.
"Sir, yes sir!"
Sakura ran into the change rooms and changed back into her black and white attire. She then ran back into the school, thinking about all the stuff in tennis that she missed out on.
"Miss Kinomoto, wandering the halls again?" demanded the sturdy principal.
"Yes sir! Er I mean no sir!"
'Must be another exam in history. I have got to get Professor Takashiko to start giving multiple-choice exams. This is the 3rd time this year!!!' thought the principal.
The principal noticed Sakura staring up at him with huge emerald orbs.
"Er, I'll let you go past with a warning this time. Now get to class and try to keep the pace."
"Alright sir. Thanks sir!" said Sakura, skipping through the hall.
'Kids these days,' thought the principal.
