The Summer House

Sakura's family and invited Julian are going to their summer house by car Aiden is driving.
Sakura is enjoying the symmer view in the mountain outside the side window.
Julian Here. [Hand Sakura a drink]
Sakura Huhh.. thanks Julian.
Julian find a bascket beside Sakura.
Julian You should've let me put that in the trunk for you.
Sakura Heh heh heh... It's not that big.
In driving the car, Aiden asks Tori who is check the map.
Aiden Hmmm... Do you think we are almost there?
Tori Yeah, it should be just up ahead of little ways.
Sakura I can't wait to get there.
Julian Me neither.
S&J Heh heh heh.
The car keeps running on the road.
Aiden I was thinking, Julian, that we're going to have to invite you and your family over to our place for dinner one of these days. You and Tori have been best friends for quite some time now. And I haven't still met your parents.
Julian Well, it's me and grandma and grandpa. But I'm sure they'd love to come over.
Tori Make a left here.
The car turns left as Tori said.

Sakura and the others arrives at the summer house.
Sakura Nnnhh... uuhhh... [Stretching her back]
Sakura looks at the wooden cattage from the front.
Sakura This is where we get to stay?
Aiden That's right, Sakura. The oweners usually spend in summers here, but lucky for us, they're overseas this year.
Sakura Wow!
Aiden And you can and visit your gtandpa as often as you like. He lives just down the way over there.
Sakura Oh, great!
Sakura opens the wooden door and finds inside is neat. Sakura runs back out the door.
Sakura Hey Dad! Thank you for bringing us here.
Walking back inside, Sakura put a picture of her mother on the shelf.
Sakura It's quite in peace here, Mom. Don't you think?
When she gets in the room for her on the second floor, Sakura gets so excited that she jumps onto the bed with the backet... forgetting the Kero is inside.
Sakura Heh heh!
Kero Duhhh...
Sakura Oohh!
She hurries and opens the bascket; immediately Kero flies out in anger.
Kero Hey, girly. Did you forget that I was in there, or what?!
Sakura I'm sorry. I was so excited to be here, Kero.
He flies around the room to look.
Kero This place is really cool, isn't there.
Sakura Told you and we're here for a whole week.
Kero It's then you almost did make a sandwitch out on me.
Sakura I said I'm sorry, Kero.
Kero I guess I can forgive you... if you are to bring me some desser tonight Dad made.
Sakura We're on vacation, and all you can think about is food?
Kero Yeah, so?
Sakura There are other things in life, you know.
Kero But nothing is as good as sweets.
Sakura One of these days, I'm going to make you accesories...
Kero Duhh... [Falling]
Sakura Huh?
Tori and Aiden are checking the water, while Julian is putting food in the fridge.
Tori Ok, it still works on the waters on.
Aiden Great, I guess we'll go get some groceries.
Sakura Are you going out?
Aiden We are going pick up some food for dinner. You are going to come town with us, or would rather go visit your grandpa?
Sakura I'll go see grandpa.
Julian His house is so close to this one. Did you see it on the way up, Sakura?
Sakura No, did you?
Julian Yeah, just down the rain way.
Tori The monster was in the sleep.
Sakura I was not!

Aiden drives his car to town with Tori and Julian.
Sakura Hurry back, Dad!
She steps up into the cattage.
Sakura Come on, Kero. Let's go outside.
Kero Coming!

Sakura is walking on the rainway, with Kero floating beside her.
Kero Why, you didn't tell me your grandpa lived here. And what is he like, Sakura?
Sakura You'll see.
Sakura enjoys the view from up on a bridge and takes a deep breath in the woods.
Sakura This is the place.
Kero Uhhh, it's huge!
Sakura is standing in front of a white house with a huge garden shrubbed at the edge to the pathway.
Sakura They didn't tell me that it was so big!
Kero Who didn't?
Sakura Dad and my brother. They've been here before.
Kero Uhh, you haven't come here with them?
Sakura I was too little back then.
Kero Hmm. Come on, let's go check this out.
When she steps into the garden...
Grandpa Sakura?
Sakura Whoa!
Kero jumps into the shrub in response, when she looks right and left to check who it was. It was Sakura's grandpa, calling her up on the patio.
Grandpa It's good to see you. Come up for a snack!
Grandpa seats Sakura in a gentlemanly manner at the table where a drink and snacks are ready.
Grandpa Here you go.

That night, Sakura, Tori, and Julian are having barbecue outside the cottage.
Tori So how do you do want your steaks?
Julian Medium well, please.
Sakura I'm not picky. They all look great.
Tori Thanks.
Aiden comes out of the cottage, with two plats of food.
Aiden All ready.
Julian Great!
Sakura I'm starving.
Tori Let's eat.
While Tori is putting barley tea for the four, Julian is eating meat in a incredible pace.
Aiden So was grandpa surprised to see you?
Sakura Yeah, he was. But not nearly surprised I was to see his house. Dad, you didn't tell me how beautiful it was. We had tea on the patio.
Tori I hope you left some for him?
Sakura Tori!
Julian He couldn't make it tonight?
Sakura No, he went into town.
Sakura is eating barbecue.
Sakura Grandpa said that I should make sure to stop by again tomorrow for a little visit.
Aiden That sounds good. It's nice we're staying so closed to him, isn't it.

Madison is watching the video on a big screen of Sakura's action that she videotaped. When her cell phone rings.
Madison Hello, Taylor residence.
Sakura Hey, Madison, it's Sakura.
Madison Hey, Sakura.
Kero I'm here, too, Madison.
Madison Key, Kero. How's the vacation going?
Sakura calling Madison is standing by her bed dressed in her PJs.
Sakura Great! It's really quite beautiful here. I wish you could've come along with us, too, Madison.
Madison Well, that's OK. Mom's taking me to the stone museum tomorrow.
Sakura You're going to love it there.
Kero is eating a dessert beside Sakura.
Madison I can't wait.
Sakura I saw the house that Mom grew up today. It's so big, Madison. You wouldn't believe it. And Grandpa's garden was so pretty it should be in a movie.
Madison Wow! He lives there all alone?
Sakura Yeah, he does! And it's so peaceful and quiet. I think you'd really like it all there.
Madison That would be nice. When we were tired we should live up in the country, too.
Sakura And get houses right next door to each other.
Madison Heh heh heh. So when are you coming back? I want show you the capture I just editted.
Sakura In a couple of days. See you soon.
Madison See you. Have fun.
Madison hangs up, and restarts checking the video.
On the other hand, Sakura is sitting up in bed.
Kero Are you going to go back to Grandpa's tomorrow?
Sakura Yeah, I think so.
Kero Don't forget to bring me back some sweets for me.
Sakura You really are pain when it comes for food.
Kero Yeah, yeah... whatever, I'll turn of the lights.
Sakura lie in the bedding.
Kero Good night, Sakura. Sweet dreams.
Sakura Sweet dreams.
The light turns out.

It is sunny next morning; Aiden is working with his laptop on the deck of the cattage, Sakura is going out to her grandpa's house.
Sakura See you.
Aiden Hold on, Sakura. I baked some cookie last night.
Sakura Whoa!
Aiden Why don't you bring these to Grandpa.
Sakura takes the cookies wrapped in a picnic napkin.
Sakura Thank you, Dad.
Aiden Say hi to him for me.
Sakura 'K.
Tori and Julian are making a cool tea on the table outside.
Tori You're leaving already?
Sakura Yep.
Julian See you later.
Sakura Bye, guys!
Sakura joyfully runs.

Sakura trots up on the patio where she enjoyed the snack the day before.
Grandpa Sakura. [Calls from behind]
Sakura Huh?
Grandpa is on the balcony.
Grandpa Come on up!
Sakura How?
Sakura looks around to figure out which way she should go.
Grandpa Go around the front.
Sakrua runs on the roofted deck to the front door, through which she walks in.
Sakura Ohh... Wow, it's so big inside.
When Sakura is about to step on the stairs in the hall, Grandpa calls her from the second floor.
Grandpa Over here. Up a little higher. Ha ha ha.
When Sakura runs up the stairs, he waves her hand by the door of a room.
Grandpa There you are.
Sakura walks in the room as he motion her. That is a pretty room for a girl.
Sakura Wow! Oh, look how pretty!
The room is full of dolls and stuffed toys. She beams at the gigantic teddy bear laid on the bed.
Sakura Oh, good morning, Grandfather. How are you doing, today?
Grandpa Oh, good morning, Sakura. I am doing quite well.
Sakura This was Mom's bedroom, wasn't it, Grandpa?
Grandpa Yes, it was.
Sakura enjoys looking at the number of dalls on the shelf.
Sakura Look at all the cute things she had. Mom liked stuffed animals, too.
Grandpa She loved them. [Calmly] So much she used to take them for a walk to the garden.
Sakura What else did Mom like to do?
Grandpa Heh heh.

Grandpa takes Sakura outside and they starts to play tennis. First, he shows her how to serve a ball. Sakura tries and smile nervously.
Grandpa Great serve.
Next, he shows her how to swing the racket. Then they starts a game. Soon Sakura gets the hang of it, she can enjoy a rally with Grandpa---until she hit the ball far beyond.
Sakura Uhhh...
Grandpa Time for a break. [Smiles]
Sakura and Grandpa sit at the patio of the day before, having tea.
Sakura I hope Kero is not wading the fridge right now.
Grandpa Your Mom was quite a tennis player. But I think you might have been even more tanlented than she did.
Sakura Do you know if Mom ever played any tournament?
Grandpa Oh, no. She didn't have keener instincts of the court than you have. [Winks and smiles]
Sakura Heh heh... [Nervously]
Grandpa I'll go over to grab some snacks on.
Sakura Oh, I forgot.
Sakura dashes away and comes back in a minute with the picnic napkin of cookies.
Sakura Huph... huph... Here...
Grandpa What's this.
Sakura My Dad said me... he baked these specially for you.
Grandpa Oh, thank you.
He takes it and unwraps.
Grandpa Oh, my.
Sakura My Dad is a gread cook, so they should be really good. Oh?
Grandpa looks silently at the cookies.
Grandpa Hmmm. How is your father these days?
Sakura Fine!
Grandpa He is good to you two, isn't he.
Sakura He's such a great Dad. He comes and watches Tori and I perform at school. And he takes us to a place like this in the summer house. And he's trying so hard to be good Dad even though he was so.
Grandpa Ha ha. Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun together.
Sakura We do.
Grandpa takes a bite one of the cookies.
Grandpa Delicious.
Sakura smiles.
Back in the house, Sakura is dressed in a dress with a big ribbon around the waist, wearing a while hat.
Sakura Did this belong to Mom, too?
Grandpa It was her favorite dress. It really suites you well.
Sakura giggles and runs infront of the mirror to check the relection.
Grandpa You know what?
Sakura What?
Grandpa You look just like her. I think you should keep it, Sakura.
Sakura No, I couldn't.
Grandpa Please, Sakura. I know she'd love for you to have it.
Sakura Do you really think so, Grandpa?
Grandpa I know it.
Sakura Hmmm...
Sakura spots and walks to the picture on the desk.
Sakura What's this?
Grandpa Your Mom painted that one.
Sakura A rainbow.
Grandpa Natasha knew that I love rainbows. She was kind enought to paint that one just for me. We saw so many rainbows from this very window.
Sakura It's so peaceful.
Grandpa Your Mom was a gentle soul.

Back in the cottage, Sakura talks about her Grandpa to Kero.
Kero Oh, nice.
Sakura Yeah, but he kind of seems lonely.
Kero Did you think up of something to do for him, yet?
Sakura No, but I have tried to think up of something.
Kero Yeah, I know. What do you get to man who has everything?
Sakura Can you think up of anything, Kero.
Kero Hmmm. Hey, do you know what he really likes?
Sakura Ummm... Oh, rainbow! He loves rainbows.
Kero Rainbows, huh? Oh, I know!
Kero and Sakura smiles at each other.

Next day, Gradpa is trimming the roses in the garden, when Sakura comes.
Grandpa Oh, hello, Sakura.
Sakura Hi, Grandpa. We have to leave today.
Grandpa That's a shame.
Sakura Yeah. Umm... I have a little favor I want to ask you.
Grandpa Hmm?
Sakura After I leave, could go out the window and stand on the balcony for me, please?
Grandpa Out on the balcony?
Sakura Could you say yes?
Grandpa If it's important to you, of course.
Sakura Thank you for doing me all things.
Grandpa It's my pleasure, Grandaughter.
Sakura See you soon.
Grandpa Take care.
Giggling Sakura runs a hundred feet until she turns back.
Sakura Bye, Grandpa. See you soon, OK? We'll miss you a lot. And don't forget to go up on the balcony as you promised, OK?
Grandpa I won't.
Sakura And I'll take good care of Mom dress. I promise.
Sakura runs away.
Kero All set. No one will see or hear from here.
Sakura Uh-hmm.
Sakura takes the Rain Card to call.
Sakura Rain Card, listen to thy might and create a beautiful rainbow. Release!
Sakura hits the Card with her wand so the spirit of the Rain appears up in the sky who starts the rainfall. Up on the second floor, Grandpa hears rainfall.
Grandpa Rain?
He opens the curtain to check outside. He stands on the balcony watching the rain until the rain stops. When the clouds are away, surpringly to him, Grandpa sees a rainbow.
Grandpa Oh!
He remembers back when Natasha is a child.
Natasha Father, Father, look!
Natasha dressed in her favorite dress---that he gave over to Sakura---is down in the garden points to the sky.
Natasha Father, look. It's a rainbow.
She is smiling at him and jogs... fading out from his sight.
Sakura I think he is pretty happy. Don't you?
Kero Defnitely.
Sakura runs back to her cottage. Now, Aiden and the two teenagers are packing their stuff for returning home.
Tori Where have you been, squirt, when we are leaving?
Sakura Just saying bye to our Grandpa.
Aiden There you are.
Sakura Sorry I'm late, Dad. I'll run getting my stuff.
Aiden Did you have a good time?
Sakura Yeah, Mom and I have a lot in common.
Aiden Hmmm.
Sakura runs into the cattage, when Tori waiting for her complains.
Tori Oh, man. That girl is never on time.
Aiden Don't be too hard on her, Tori. I think Sakua and your Grandpa have a lot of catching up to do.
Aiden put the picture of Natasha on the deck before walking down off the deck.
