Can we stop running ?

Part 9

~Just memories of Michael and Sakura since I have a bit of a writer's

block~

****December 25 1996****

It was confusing time for Michael since Japan was a sixteen hour

difference from California meaning he had no idea what the time was.

It was Christmas and the Japanese didn't really celebrate it. They had the present giving and sparkly ornaments so

Michael and Sakura had a fun day of laughter and enjoyment considering the fact that he had to wake up early for

the concert tomorrow. He didn't want the day to end. No Paparazzi Day.

all this unnecessary stuff made him forget he had Sakura with him for a year.

The whole family came and when Sakura looked all around she looked puzzled and confused... What? She had a

birthday party hat on and so did everybody else. She saw a cake and instantly wanted to eat it. Michael had to put

the cake away so they can sing Happy Birthday and to guarantee she wouldn't eat it.

She soon later got to eat the cake eating it with her hands but luckily Michael had another cake knowing this was

going to happen seeing his other nieces and nephews do it. They all had a great time and it was a great first year for
