| 1 As the birds chirped and flew through the sky, a calm breeze from the | |
| 2 late morning air passed through the trees. The sun projected its rays of | |
| 3 light upon Sakura's face as she gazed up at it. The two girls had agreed | |
| 4 the previous night to meet by the penguin slide at the park. The brown | |
| 5 haired girl felt so joyful as she was about to meet the one she had fallen | |
| 6 in love with. She took her time as she walked to her destination, causing | |
| 7 her heart to swell with anticipation. Her choice of speed felt natural in | |
| 8 this situation for the fact that if she went too fast to see Tomoyo, she | |
| 9 would be unable to savor the time it would take to get there. Sakura | |
| 10 envisioned her meeting with her best friend, telling her how much she loved | |
| 11 her and especially seeing her smile again. Sakura had missed Tomoyo's | |
| 12 smile so much that seeing it would grant her an unexplainable amount of | |
| 13 happiness. Each step brought her closer to that feeling of happiness. As | |
| 14 the penguin slide came into full view, Sakura stopped walking and quickly | |
| 15 noticed that Tomoyo was not in her vantage point. Once she began to walk | |
| 16 around the slide counterclockwise, she found the dark haired girl waiting | |
| 17 for her. At first, Sakura began to advance toward her, but halted once she | |
| 18 saw her face. With her head hung low, Tomoyo had a somewhat dismal look on | |
| 19 her face which indicated that she still had sadness within her heart. 'I | |
| 20 wonder, could she still be thinking of how I left her all alone the other | |
| 21 day?' Sakura thought to herself. 'I suppose that could be it. She did | |
| 22 sound a little uncomfortable about coming when I spoke to her last night. | |
| 23 I'm starting to feel like I forced her to come. I can't see her like this. | |
| 24 It wouldn't work. Even if I did tell her, she might feel nervous if she | |
| 25 thinks I'm going to hurt her again. I need to lighten the mood and make | |
| 26 her feel at ease. But how can I do that?' Sakura began to think as to | |
| 27 what she could do. For a while she was stumped for an idea and wasn't sure | |
| 28 if she could come up with anything. But she kept cool and didn't rush in | |
| 29 her thinking process. After a few minutes, she finally came up with an | |
| 30 idea. Once it came to her, she was positive that it would help in her | |
| 31 situation. She smiled as she dashed in the direction opposite the slide, | |
| 32 putting her plan into motion. | |
| 33 > | |
| 34 > Nervousness was what Tomoyo was feeling. Nervousness mixed in with fear. | |
| 35 She was fearful because she didn't know what would happen to her. This | |
| 36 feeling of fear was with her since the phone call last night. Hearing | |
| 37 Sakura's voice through the earpiece came as a surprise to her and she could | |
| 38 hardly believe that the girl would even contact her. The phone | |
| 39 conversation had hardly begun when Sakura asked to meet with her. Tomoyo | |
| 40 wasn't pressured in any way to see Sakura, but the moments when the two | |
| 41 last saw each other came back into the dark haired girl's mind. She didn't | |
| 42 know what Sakura would do if she went, she couldn't even find any logic in | |
| 43 going back to the person who hurt her so much. All she knew was that she | |
| 44 needed to see the person she fell in love with. That, beyond anything | |
| 45 else, was all that mattered in Tomoyo's mind. Afrter agreeing to meet with | |
| 46 Sakura, the nervousness quickly rushed in and overtook her senses. What | |
| 47 Sakura would say to her was beyond her grasp. Would she apologize, or | |
| 48 would she make Tomoyo feel bad about herself? This thought put the | |
| 49 greatest amount of fear into her. If Sakura rejected her, she would have | |
| 50 her feelings and opinions rejected. Tomoyo's opinions made up who she was, | |
| 51 they were what made her human. If her opinions were rejected, then her | |
| 52 right to be human was rejected. Tomoyo would not be able to handle hearing | |
| 53 it. As Tomoyo patiently sat by the slide awaiting her confrontation with | |
| 54 Sakura, she held on to the stuffed elephant that was meant to be Sakura's | |
| 55 gift. Tomoyo had brought it along hoping that the brown haired girl would | |
| 56 be more understanding and would want to accept it. Tomoyo clutched the | |
| 57 elephant to her chest recalling the moment when she had presented it to her | |
| 58 friend. In that brief instant of time, the two girls both shared a moment | |
| 59 of happiness toghther. The elephant was used by Tomoyo in order to bring | |
| 60 out not only Sakura's happiness, it brought out her warmth and youthful | |
| 61 charm as well. Tomoyo would have given anything if she could see Sakura in | |
| 62 a joyful mood once again. But something within Tomoyo, a feeling deep | |
| 63 within her heart, was telling her that things would not be as she had | |
| 64 hoped. Everything she planned, everyhing she dreamed about could be gone | |
| 65 in an instant. She wanted everything to turn out right for her. She just | |
| 66 needed something to tell her that she could end the day feeling happy, that | |
| 67 there was no reason to be afraid, that the love she hoped for would be there. | |
| 68 > | |
| 69 > Tomoyo continued to clutch onto the elephant when a gentle gust of wind | |
| 70 blew past her. The cool air brushed onto her face and gave her a slight | |
| 71 chill. This feeling distracted Tomoyo for a brief moment before she went | |
| 72 back to her previous train of thought. She was distracted once again when | |
| 73 she noticed something descend from the sky and land beside her right leg. | |
| 74 It was a leaf from a cheery blossom. Tomoyo was very surprised to see one | |
| 75 because it wasn't the right time for them to come out and none of the trees | |
| 76 close to Tomoyo had any cheery blossoms on them. She raised her head and | |
| 77 noticed that more chery blossom petals were falling to the ground, almost | |
| 78 like a pink snow shower. The question of how this occurrence could be | |
| 79 possible entered the girl's mind as she raised her head higher. The sight | |
| 80 she witnessed overwhelmed her system as amazement caused her to smile. | |
| 81 Hundreds of cheery blossom petals were drifting high up above Tomoyo, | |
| 82 flowing like a river, and fell around where she sat. The sight of beauty | |
| 83 caused Tomoyo to stand up and greet it with her smile. As more of the | |
| 84 petals fell to the Earth, Tomoyo held out her hand and caught a few in her | |
| 85 palm. She picked up one of the petals with her left thumb and finger ande | |
| 86 began to examine it up close. Tomoyo knew that the occurrence above her | |
| 87 could not be considered possible by any normal means of reasoning. The | |
| 88 petals that Tomoyo collected felt as real as any other cheery blossom petal | |
| 89 she ever held, but these petals felt very different. Within them she felt | |
| 90 a bright source of energy that resonated through her body, making her feel | |
| 91 like she was floating on air. Tomoyo closed her eyes and let the | |
| 92 sensations run around and take over. Her realization as to how his | |
| 93 phenomenon could happen came to her as the feelings of pleasure continued | |
| 94 to flow. Once she knew the casue of this event, she became even happier. | |
