On sunnny spring day Sakura was walking thought the park beep in the heart of Nihon, she was walking with me in the park,
" How are you?" I asked her Her smile blossomed like a tulip
" I'm fine!" She was so cute I picked her up & set her on my sholders she laughed sweetly & It made me smile we walked thought the park laughing all the while her mother walked over
" Konichiwa" She said I smiled & returned the gester
" I'll have her howe in time for you know what." I winked
" What?" Sakura asked, her mother smiled intently
" Dobo, Sayonara" He mother smiled once again & walked off
" What did mama talk to you about?" Sakura asked
" Don't worry about it." I smiled
" Kay Shelley!" We sepnt the rest of the day just being girls, this was my first time in Japan & Sakura was still pretty young so we pretened we where tourists & did all kinds of neat things after lunch I said to her
" Well Sakura its time to go home." I said, Sakura groaned
" I don't wanna Shelley" She said
" Well your mom is wating come on." I took her hand & we went back to her house, I took off my combat boots & Sakrua's sandles & set them by the door , barefoot we walked into the dark house I flipped on the light & Sakura's faimly & frineds jumped out
"Surprise!" They yelled Sakura's eyes lit up & became very large
" Wow!" Sakura seemed very happy
" Happy birthday Sakura!" I smiled & handed her a small box whraped in paper she ripped oped the package & in side neseled in the soft tissue was a butiful pair of sandles, she jumped up & hugged me
" Thank you Shelley" Sakura said smiling, I smiled & put a rose in her soft sweet smelling hair
" Your welcome!" And that was Sakura's surprise party soon after the sun had set she & I sat on the floor & she fell asleep in my arms
" Good night sweet little Sakura."
