Let's keep the ball rolling!

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

3 tears of joy...

2 golden hearts...

And 1 look in my eyes...

'And running. And running. And running. And running...' the song played through Sakura's earphones of her new mp3 player, as she skated to Middle School. Some may call her childish for continuing to skate to school but it was faster, it was more fun and as she's said before 'there's nothing better than the feel of the open road'.

Sakura spotted the road works in the way of her regular passage.

'This is the third day in a row,' Sakura thought internally 'I wonder when they'll be finished.'

Sakura took her usual detour. She ended up going through Penguin Park. She looked around as per norm. At this time of the morning, the park was usually empty, only ever occupied by the occasional dog-walker or jogger.

Sakura stopped after hearing a sound.

"Grrr, why is this do hard?" Sakura heard an agitated voice from in the distance.

Sakura turned a corner to see a surprising view.

Syaoran was on the ground, covered in scratches and small bruises. Wearing a pair of black and green rollerblades.

"Grrr, I have to do this," Syaoran growled to go himself "if can't surprise Sakura with this I can't start her birthday surprise."

"Syaoran?" Sakura called gently.

Syaoran panicked and tried to hide the rollerblades , desperately.

"Syaoran, it's fine," Sakura said, helping Syaoran up "I'll act surprised. Now, you need someone to teach you."

Syaoran smiled but stopped. He touched her cheek with his hand.

"You're crying," Syaoran frowned. Wiping away the line of tears.

"They're tears of joy Syaoran," Sakura stated "you made me cry three fears of joy and I've never been happier to let them fall."

Sakura began to lean in for a small kiss, but stopped when she heard a small noise.

She looked into the bushes only to notice something she didn't want to see.

"Tomoyo!"
