| 1 As soon as the final petal had reached the ground, the wind took up all | |
| 2 of the petals and gathered them into a cluster. The petals continued | |
| 3 flowing with the breeze while remaining in the same area above ground. | |
| 4 Tomoyo stared at the pink mass with a curious look in her eyes, wondering | |
| 5 what would happen next. Suddenly, the petals began to inch their way | |
| 6 toward a section of the park with trees surrounding the entire area. | |
| 7 Tomoyo quickly reacted by picking up the elephant and following the cheery | |
| 8 blossom petals toward their destination. The wind picked up speed and | |
| 9 carried the petals faster, making the girl run in order to try and catch | |
| 10 up. Once the petals reached the trees, they escaped from Tomoyo's sight. | |
| 11 After Tomoyo reached the first row of trees, she began to walk past them | |
| 12 wondering where she would find the assortment of petals. The girl wandered | |
| 13 around searching for her destination, but she had no idea where that was. | |
| 14 As she pasted more of the trees, she started to get lost in her search, | |
| 15 noticing that each new tree looked exactly like the one she just past. She | |
| 16 was beginning to wonder if she would ever find the petals at all. But | |
| 17 suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Tomoyo spotted them, almost missing | |
| 18 them completely. The petals had formed a circle around one of the trees as | |
| 19 they began to orbit around it in a clockwise motion. Tomoyo smiled again | |
| 20 once she had finally found where she needed to be. She was happy not only | |
| 21 because she had found the petals, but also because she was in anticipation | |
| 22 of what would happen next. As she crept forward toward the tree, the | |
| 23 circumference of the petals began to increase in size as they spread out | |
| 24 away from the tree. Tomoyo stopped in her advancement toward the tree as | |
| 25 the petals broke its formation; brushing past the girls chest and | |
| 26 connecting again behind her. The girl glanced at the pink circle and | |
| 27 watched its movement until it stopped a couple feet away from her. When | |
| 28 Tomoyo realized that the petals would refrain from moving, she turned her | |
| 29 head towards the tree again as she awaited the next event to unfold. With | |
| 30 only a few seconds of waiting, the young girl's hopes would be fulfilled in | |
| 31 a manner that she thought she could only imagine. Revealing herself from | |
| 32 behind the tree, with her right hand holding something behind her back and | |
| 33 her left resting the Clow staff on her shoulder, Sakura gave Tomoyo a very | |
| 34 pleasant smile. Tomoyo knew that Sakura would be waiting at the end of her | |
| 35 search, but seeing the brown haired girl again put a vast amount of joy | |
| 36 into her heart. "Sakura!" Tomoyo shouted in ecstatic jubilation as she | |
| 37 ran toward the other girl and gently wrapped her arms around her neck. | |
| 38 Sakura placed her left hand on Tomoyo's back while still holding onto the | |
| 39 staff. She then turned the staff back into its key form, letting the chain | |
| 40 attached to it dangle in between the spaces in her fingers. Her left hand | |
| 41 was now free to give Tomoyo her soft, comforting touch. | |
| 42 >> "I wasn't sure if I'd ever be able to see you again," Tomoyo said, her | |
| 43 voice showing that she was close to breaking into tears. | |
| 44 >> "I know, and I'm very sorry that I did that to you," Sakura explained, | |
| 45 having regret in her voice but still indicating that she was happy things | |
| 46 had come around for the two. "I would never intend to hurt you like I did, | |
| 47 but, well I wasn't sure if how the way you felt for me...and now the way I | |
| 48 feel for you, was even possible. But I've thought about it and now I | |
| 49 realize I was just being foolish." Sakura removed her hand from Tomoyo's | |
| 50 back and placed it on her shoulder, as she looked into her eyes. "It makes | |
| 51 more sense to me than ever. And now that I realize that what we share is | |
| 52 beautiful, I want to make sure it lasts as long as possible." The brown | |
| 53 haired girl leaned in toward the other girl and whispered in her ear with a | |
| 54 voice that made Tomoyo feel cool and with the words she had been hoping to | |
| 55 hear. "I love you more than anything else in this world and I want to hold | |
| 56 on to that feeling forever." After hearing those words, Tomoyo's face lit | |
| 57 up as she knew that everything would be alright, even better than she had | |
| 58 hoped. Once Sakura brought her attention back to the girl she loved, the | |
| 59 two spent the time gazing at each other's beauty. Then, without any | |
| 60 warning from either of the two, as the situation presented them with the | |
| 61 same idea, Sakura and Tomoyo leaned toward each other for a kiss. As their | |
| 62 lips meet, the kiss was light and tender, but the meaning within it was | |
| 63 very passionate. After the two broke off their physical sign of love, they | |
| 64 smiled and continued to look into each others' eyes, feeling content that | |
| 65 they werte together. Then a thought suddenly came to Tomoyo's mind. | |
| 66 >> "Oh, I just realized. I haven't given you your gift yet." Tomoyo | |
| 67 exclaimed, almost forgetting she was holding on to the elephant this whole | |
| 68 time. She then presented the elephant to Sakura with outstretched hands. | |
| 69 "I hope you still want it." | |
| 70 >> Sakura took the elephant in her left hand, examined it, and clutched it | |
| 71 to her chest. "Thank you Tomoyo. Your gift really means a lot to me." | |
| 72 >> "I'm glad that you still like it." | |
| 73 >> "Do you know the reason why I really like it?" the brown haired girl | |
| 74 calmly asked. | |
| 75 >> "It's because you said it was cute, isn't that right?" Tomoyo said with | |
| 76 a slight hint of confusion in her voice. | |
| 77 >> "I did say that," Sakura responded as she loosened the grip on the plush | |
| 78 figure and gently held it at her side, "and I still think it's cute, but | |
| 79 there is a different reason as to why I like it now. I like it because it | |
| 80 came from you. The fact that you gave it to me really means something. If | |
| 81 anyone else had given it to me, it would just be another stuffed animal to | |
| 82 add to my collection. But I can tell that you gave this to me because you | |
| 83 love me. You put so much thought into giving this to me. It holds all of | |
| 84 your feelings and that's why I like it. And besides, the elephant is cute, | |
| 85 but it could never replace your natural beauty." | |
| 86 >> The final set of words that Sakura said connected with the dark haired | |
| 87 girl effectively as she began to blush. "Th-thank you," she said. "And | |
| 88 thank you for understanding my intentions. I had hoped that you would." | |
| 89 >> "Oh, and there's something else I wanted to say," Sakura began as she | |
| 90 moved her right hand from behind to reveal what she had been hiding. "As | |
| 91 far as putting thought and emotion into one's gift, that's what I had done, | |
| 92 when I made these for you." The gift Sakura held out to Tomoyo, in a | |
| 93 slightly proud, but still cheerful manner, was a pair of fresh roses from | |
| 94 the Flower Card. | |
| 95 >> Tomoyo smiled once she saw her gift. She took the two pieces of floral | |
| 96 beauty and smelled them to find they emitted a heavenly aroma. "They're | |
| 97 very beautiful. Thank you Sakkura." | |
| 98 >> "And each of those roses both symbolize something." | |
| 99 >> "Really?" Tomoyo asked as she looked up to Sakura. "What do they mean?" | |
| 100 >> "Hm, one represents all the feelings I have for the girl I love, and the | |
| 101 other is for the hope that the two of us will always be together." | |
| 102 >> A warm feeling went through Tomoyo as she embraced the other girl again, | |
| 103 and a gentle sigh escaped through her lips before she spoke. "I would | |
| 104 really like to see that hope realzed." As the unnoticed minutes drifted | |
| 105 by, the thoughts and desires of the two girls for each other went through | |
| 106 their minds, while the comfort of the two close together physically | |
| 107 acknowledged all of them. A cool gust of wind went by as Sakura and Tomoyo | |
| 108 found themselves looking into each other's eyes again. | |
| 109 >> "Well," Sakura began as she flashed a joyful smile, "I think now that | |
| 110 we've found our way into each others hearts, we should probably celebrate | |
| 111 our union. Is there anything that you want to do?" | |
| 112 >> The dark haired girl gave the other girl a light kiss as well as her | |
| 113 answer. "Just being here with you is fine with me. It doesn't really | |
| 114 matter what we do." | |
| 115 >> "Alright then." As Tomoyo took Sakura's arm, the two of them led each | |
| 116 other toward one of the trees. They sat next to one another at the base of | |
| 117 the tree while a feeling of calmness and serenity found its way into both | |
| 118 of them. Tomoyo rest her head on her girlfriend's shoulder, and Sakura | |
| 119 returned the gesture of affection by placing her hand on her girlfriend's | |
| 120 head. Nothing felt out of place as the cherry blossom petals were freed | |
| 121 from their dormant position above ground and were carried by the wind as a | |
| 122 sign to anyone who saw them that two people had fallen in love. | |
| 123 >> | |
| 124 >> After another school day had come and gone, Tomoyo stood by the entrance | |
| 125 waithing for Sakura to meet with her. The two girls had decided to buy a | |
| 126 snack after school and share it with each other. To keep herself occupied, | |
| 127 she took scenery shots of the school grounds with her camcorder. She only | |
| 128 got a few minutes worth of footage before Sakura came out and greeted her. | |
| 129 >> "Sorry to keep you waiting," Sakura said a little bit embarrassed. | |
| 130 >> "Oh it's no trouble at all. I'm just glad you came, and I knew you | |
| 131 would be here," Tomoyo answered while recording Sakura on film. Since the | |
| 132 two were closer than ever, Sakura no longer felt shy or embarrassed about | |
| 133 being in front of Tomoyo's camcorder, especially now that she knew why she | |
| 134 was he dark haired girl's favorite thing to record. | |
| 135 >> "So, do you still like the gift that I gave you?" Sakura said as she | |
| 136 struck a pose for the machine's lens. | |
| 137 >> Tomoyo responded with a smile as she took the camera away from her face | |
| 138 to look at her girlfriend with her own eyes. "Being with you has always | |
| 139 been a gift, and I will always enjoy that." | |
| 140 >> | |
| 141 >> | |
| 142 >>So what did you think? Did you like it? Dislike it? Or are you just | |
| 143 indifferent? Anyway, please tell me what you think. I will take comments | |
| 144 and criticism of any kind. Just send it to me at mebrown@dubuque.net, I | |
| 145 would really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch. |
