Heroes of Dreamland, Book 6: Kirby and the Fountain's Fate (OLD)

~Other Time~ Welcome to the GPC

Sakura's POV:

Well, the first thing I've discovered about time travel minus a shield is that it's very cold. Have you ever fallen into a cold river, or a pool that's supposedly heated but then turns out to not be? Well, it's sort of like that, only colder. It's like all the snow in the universe was magically turned into water without having its temperature increased at all. Oh, and then it was filled with a bunch of angry currents that sweep you every which way so that you can't even tell which way is up. And without my submarine (aka a shield) I'm basically a poor, defenseless shrimp.

This is definitely not the funnest thing I've ever done before. In fact, I'd have to say that it's pretty far down the list of the funnest things I've done in my life.

Most of the time when I time-travel, I'm pretty sure that I remember most of who I am and where I belong, so I'm not really expecting to lose my memories this time around. Of course, what with the way it came up so suddenly, and oof! (sorry, just bumped into the American Revolution. Hi, George Washington! Obviously, he can't see me, since I'm on the other side of a time barrier) the way it felt much stronger than it ever has before, I have no idea whether I'm going to be Sakura on the other end or not.

(Ow. Well, there's the construction of Nintendo City. Bet that crystal castle took awhile to get together.) Squeezing my eyes shut, I hug my paws around myself to guard from the cold. Once I got launched into time/space travel, I forgot what I was upset about, so I consequently quit crying. (Great... Maybe I'm going to forget everything after all.) My wings turned back into a cape, which then went flying off, hopefully back to home. My sword decided to go with it, although my flower ribbon's been kind enough to stay with me for now- oh, wait, forget that. It's gone now too.

With a groan, I wince as I'm thrown against the ancient Great Wall of China, and then run into some Hyrulean person giving a speech about something while a pack of Elves and Gorons cheer excitedly a split second later. Everything happening all at once is bad enough when it's all muted and distanced from me by a glowing wall, but now that it's loud and looks like there's only a small screen between me and whatever's going on, it makes me even dizzier than it normally does.

Closing my eyes, I shiver again and force myself to remember a few basic facts about who I am to make sure that I'm not forgetting everything. My name is Sakura; Sakura... something. Well, that's promising. Let's see...

I'm from Heritage Province on Star World; I'm currently living in River Village... No, that's not right... Is it Nintendo City? No, I don't live there; someone else does.

Oh, I have brothers... One of them is named... Magolor? No, that's someone else I know.

Look, in that time, there's snow. I've been to someplace snowy before... White Wafers. That place was cool- literally. I went there when I was younger, I think.

Geo! I need to tell him to make sure that flight to Kyoto hasn't been cancelled... A new arrival might need my help. Wait, what? That's not right... ODURAF was disbanded, wasn't it? I can't remember...

No matter what happens, I can't lose the Warrior of the Stars. Kirby! I think I know a Kirby...

This place is so cold, like snow... Doesn't my name have something to do with snow? Or is it flowers?

Flowers... there are lot of flowers in Heritage Province. So many trees, so many blossoms.

Blossom... Maybe that's my name. I wonder if Blue's done his studies yet.

Was I a cat, once? No, it wasn't me... Maybe that's my sister that I'm remembering... But then, why do we hate each other?

Anyway... I'm going to be late back to the shelter to celebrate Blizzard's birthday. But is Blizzard even alive anymore? Why can't I remember anything for sure?
