Jolt!
"Eeek!"
Syaoran blinked when he suddenly found himself lying flat on his back on the ground with Sakura lying on top of him, hugging his torso for dear life.
"Princess, its just thunder, there's no need to be so frightened," Syaoran said, looking at her. "It's far away from us."
"B-but it's so loud!" The girl cried out as Syaoran slowly sat up again, laughing a little at her childishness.
Looking out the window, Syaoran caught a thin bolt of lightning break through the thick, dark clouds and hit a distant tree, splitting it instantly. The moment was but seconds long, but to Syaoran it seemed to last for hours. Thin bolts of bright light coursed around the tree for a short moment after the strike, and Syaoran suddenly wished he could suspend the image for eternity; it was utterly beautiful.
"What was that flash of light?" Sakura asked nervously, looking out the window as well.
"It was just a flash of lightning, Princess, don't be scared," Syaoran replied sweetly, petting her head affectionately.
Sakura sighed and leaned into his chest. "I don't think I like thunderstorms very much…"
Syaoran laughed and kissed the top of her head. "They are a bit loud, aren't they?"
