Shattered Dreams

Disclaimer: It gets rather boring writing these after quite some time. But just the same, I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura, and (sadly), there's nothing I can do about it.

Author's note: I got ONE review for the last chapter…..lol, people are finally getting sick of reading this crappy story I'll bet…well, enjoy, just the same. Hint hint, my birthday IS on the 12th….:P

Anyhow, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH CHERRYXXBLOSSOM! You're soooo kewel! Not only did you make me hit the 140 mark on this story, but you also made my other story, "What's Different On The Other Side", hit 200 reviews! -cries- that's the best birthday gift I could wish for, thanks again!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chapter 25- Sakura's Birthday Pt. 1

"Syaoran, WHERE THE HECK ARE WE GOING!" Sakura asked angrily, a blindfold covering her eyes.

"I told you, it's a secret! If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret now, would it?" he replied.

Sakura sighed and shook her head. It was all too much, really.

Today was her 15th birthday, and boy, was she stressed out.

She had her job, school, the play, AND her chores, and now Syaoran wouldn't even tell her where he was taking her.

The past week had also been rather stressful, due to finals. (Which I failed most of….pfft I suck at school.)

"Relax, I guarantee you, you WILL like where I'm taking you", Syaoran reassured Sakura.

"Okay, but how about a HINT? Just one, I promise!" She asked, curiously.

"Okay, here's a hint: You're gonna love it" he said, smiling evily.

Yeesh, now even Syaoran is at the whole evil smile thing.

"GAH, I know that already, but WHAT will I love? WHERE will I love it? HOW will I love it? WHEN will I love it? WHY will I love it?" She asked, growing more and more curious. Like George. Not really, but let's pretend.

"Just chill. Believe me, this is one secret that you WON'T forget. Unless you get hit on the head and have amnesia or something, but really, that's another story." He said, jokingly.

"Syaoran…" she said, giggling, trying hard but unsuccessfully punching her boyfriend whilst being blindfolded. Not an easy task, I tell ya.

"It's just a little bit longer, so trust me, okay?" he said.

"Okay, okay, just take me there already!" Sakura replied, giggling again.

Meanwhile, on another note…

Chiharu, Takeshi, Rika, Naoko, Meilin, Ryan, Tomoyo, and Eriol were setting up a surprise party at Penguin Park to celebrate Sakura's 15th birthday party.

It was almost ready, however, they were having trouble putting the huge "Happy Birthday Sakura" banner around king penguin, but then Sakura's father and older brother arrived, and they assisted the bunch in putting it up.

"Well, I think it's ready for Sakura!" her father said, looking around.

"Yeah, you guys did a great job setting up!" Touya said, impressed.

"Thanks! But really, it was all Tomoyo's idea!" Naoko said.

"Not really, everyone helped out!" Tomoyo objected.

"Well, yeah. I mean, we all did help out, and managed not to give away the secret to Sakura!" Rika said.

"That was sure hard! I almost gave it away yesterday at lunch!" Meilin commented.

"But you didn't, and that's what counts!" Ryan said, looking at his girlfriend with googly eyes.

"Awe, thanks, sweetums!" she replied, looking deeply into his eyes.

"People, enough with the mush already, Sakura and Syaoran will be here any minute! We still have a few more preparations to do!" her old brother said, tired of all the romance going on between the kids.

"Okay!" the teenagers agreed in unison, then rolled up their sleeves and finished the remaining dirty work.

It wouldn't be long before Sakura arrived, not long at all…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Okay, Sakura, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, and- STOP!" Syaoran directed as he led Sakura up a flight of stairs that lead them to Penguin Park.

The party was about to start, as she was now here!

Her friends and family squirmed excitedly as they awaited Syaoran unfolding the blindfold on Sakura's face.

"Yeesh, are we there YET!" Sakura asked impatiently.

"Yup, just hang on a second, okay?" Syaoran replied.

Sakura nodded, wondering what awaited her after he took off her blindfold.

Just when she thought that the suspense was getting to be too much for her, Syaoran untied the blindfold, and WHOOSH, Sakura could see again!

A chorus of "SURPRISE!" 's rained upon her path.

Sakura opened her eyes wide in surprise, then jumped up and down squealing.

"Happy birthday Sakura!" her friends said to her in unison.

"Oh, you guys!" Sakura replied happily.

She was speechless!

There were 4 picnic tables pushed together to form one big table, with a huge cake on top.

The cake was pink (of course), and had lovely iced cherry blossoms all over it, and it said "Happy 15th Birthday Sakura" in cursive pink icing. It was lovely, and looked absolutely delicious. Sakura couldn't wait to try it, at it was chocolate AND vanilla cake, with ice cream in it, and it was multiple layers!

There were many decorations surrounding the park, from pink crepe paper, streamers, and balloons, to the huge banner in pink writing on King Penguin.

Another picnic table had a huge stereo on it with a wide selection of music, and one of Sakura's favorite songs, "Fukai Mori", by Do As Infinity, was playing currently! The table had a pink table cloth on it with cherry blossoms, as did the picnic tables for eating.

Two more tables were combined together to make a buffet, and all of Sakura's favorites piled over it. There was miso soup, ramen, cheese pizza, rice, and steamed vegetables, made by her father, plus a huge thing of hot tea, different sodas, snack foods like chips and pretzels, plus a lot more!

Over by the swings was a limbo stick set up.

'Hmm, I guess that's what I'm playing later' Sakura thought, smiling.

And last but not least was yet another picnic table, packed with presents in every size, shape, and form. They too, of course, were wrapped in pink paper and bags, with pink bows and ribbons.

"Oh…my gosh, are those all for ME!" Sakura asked excitedly, catching a glimpse of the presents table.

"Hm, not unless there are any other Sakura's hiding here!" Syaoran said, jokingly.

Sakura squealed, and hugged everyone.

"Thanks you guys this is greeeeeat!" she said.

"Come on Sakura, it hasn't even started yet! Here, have some pizza!" her father said, handing her a plate of pepperoni.

"Yum, this looks sooooo good!" she said.

Everyone took some pizza and food, and then sat down.

Sakura made it a point to talk to everyone to show her appreciation for their support and generosity.

This was going to be a fun party!

When, all of a sudden…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hahaha, a cliffy! Yes I am EVIL! Okay well review? It's my birthday…..

Later! Luve, melaniemelmelgirl
