"Guess who?" blurted out by a short amber haired girl while covering the eyes of the purple haired girl in front of her. Completely stunned the girl with the long purple hair only managed to say a couple of "huh?" and "what?" before realizing who is the mysterious person behind her. "Sakura!" she finally blurted out. "I can't believe you're here! I miss you so much," said Tomoyo as she was hugging her best friend. Sakura managed to say, "I miss you too Tomoyo!" despite the fact that Tomoyo was squeezing all the air out of her. After the long and awfully tight bear hug she had given her, Sakura quickly looked around. They were in Tomoyo's fashion boutique. Sakura is immediately impressed by the ambience to the extent that she had her jaws dropped to ground, just like what a child might do while in a candy store. "This is really impressive Tomoyo! You've really outdone yourself this time." squealed by a gob smacked Sakura while looking through a rack of clothes. "Tell you what Sakura, I'll just go get us something to eat and you can tell me all about your trip to London. Damn! We really have a lot of catching up to do. While I'm in the back, would you mind looking after the store for me?" said an all puppy-eyed Tomoyo. "Sure thing Tomoyo!" replied Sakura. She really knows nothing about running a store, but then again who couldn't say yes to those big doe eyes of hers? "Great I'll be back before you know it." Tomoyo quickly disappeared through the racks of clothing.

Moments after, a tall young man walked through the front door. He has chestnut brown hair. It was messy alright but somehow it made his brown eyes cut through you like glass. He was wearing a dark pair of jeans, a black leather jacket and a white tight knit sweater underneath it. Since the sweater clinged to his body like a second skin, Sakura could make up what is underneath those clothes. He has a lean body and a six-pack to boast. Sakura was speechless. It was like a visitation from Mars the God of War. Under her breath she impulsively said, "dashing..." Her adoration was quickly interrupted when the stud in front of her said, "Hi, would you mind giving me suggestions for a perfect gift for a girl?" His voice was husky and it was definitely attractive to Sakura. " Uhhmmm... I beg your pardon?" was all Sakura could say, she didn't get what he said a while ago as she was still stunned by how gorgeous and debonair he is. This time however, the man's voice quickly changes and a tint of impatience is visible through his intonation. "I said, I'm here to find a perfect gift for a girl." His expressions also showed how ticked off he is because this girl was wasting his precious time. Sakura immediately noticed all of these and quickly put her admiration aside. Trying to act professional, Sakura asked him about the girl he wants to give the present to. "Well first you have to tell me what she's like. Her age, what she likes to do maybe?" The man nodded to her inquiry and spilled some facts to her. "She's 18 years old and she's very demure and lady-like." "I see," replied Sakura while fidgeting her chin. "Well sir, you've come to the right place. Would you mind waiting here while I pull out some things from the rack for you?", said Sakura politely. "Ok", was all he heard from the man. "Good. Feel free to sit down and I'll be right back." And with that Sakura immediately dashed towards the rack of clothes to choose the perfect outfit- dress, shoes, accessories and all.

Ten minutes after, she was back with a lot of stuff in her arms. She excitedly showed the man what she had come up with after searching through the racks. Sakura showed him a haltered dress. The dress was simple yet exquisite. It was black with layers of ruffles of different hues of pink underneath. She paired it with pink pumps that has a small butterfly on each shoe, and a clutch of the same colour and same butterfly on it. She completed the whole outfit with a platinum necklace, with a butterfly pendant. The pendant itself was very intricate. It is encrusted with pink and white diamonds on its wings. The moment Sakura saw this piece of jewellery, she knew that every girl would fall for it. Finally, the man showed his affirmation with a nod and with that, he asked Sakura, the total cost. Sakura invited him to the counter so she could punch his purchases in the cash register. "The total is, 150,000 yen" ( look, I don't have any idea regarding the value of yen, so you'll just have to pretend that the outfit is really expensive... ) said Sakura. And with that the man gave him his credit card to pay off the bill. "Can you wrap this for me please? It's her birthday and I definitely want to impress her. ", he said. Sakura was impressed by his thoughtfulness, even if it's not for her. She immediately leaned down the counter to find the perfect gift box. She arose with a medium sized box decorated with pink stripes. She lined the inside of the box with pink tissue paper and arranged the items inside it in an organized manner. She place the lid on top and place the whole box in a pink paper bag and handed it to him. "Thanks", he said. "You just saved me at least three hours of gift wrapping." She smiled at that and said, "No problem, thanks for shopping at Tomoyo's Trinkets! I hope you come again soon. "And with that, the man went off towards the door.

Sakura felt a sudden urge to stop the man. "Wait!", she quickly blurted out before realizing that she actually did. "This is very untimely but, I'm Kinomoto Sakura, can I invite you to my café's grand opening next Saturday?" The man was stunned and he quickly turned around to face her. "Wow, you sure are doing pretty good in business,. You already own a spunky boutique in downtown Tokyo, and you're also opening a café?" Sakura laughed at his comment, "Oh no, this boutique isn't mine, it's my friend's store. I'm just looking after it that's all...". "I see... well tell your friend that she's doing a pretty darn good job." "That's what I thought too. So, will you be able to make it to my café next weekend, Mr..." "Li, Li Syaoran. Yes, just give me the address and I'll try my best to make it.", said Syaoran blandly. "Great", said Sakura while handing him her calling card. "Here's my contact info, the café's address is also written on it too." Syaoran shook his head and said," Well I'm off, see you then Ms Kinomoto." And with that, he went towards the door, without even hearing her last words of goodbye.

She stood by the glass window as he drove off. She couldn't get her eyes off him. "Li Syaoran..." was all she could say, trying to reminisce the huskiness of his voice. She never felt this way towards the opposite sex. Why is she feeling it now though, she thought. "Could it be?" she said. But she quickly shook off the thought of her falling for him.

Just then, Tomoyo immersed from the back of her shop carrying a tray filled with a couple of soda cans and some cookies. "I hope this would be fine. I only have..." She was quickly cut off by the sight she was seeing. Sakura stood by the window as a man with chestnut-brown hair entered his car. "Who was that?", Tomoyo asked a stunned Sakura. "Huh? Oh he was here a while ago, while you were preparing our snack. He bought a present for a girl. I guess it was her birthday so he kinda splurged on his gift for her", replied Sakura. "Really?", said Tomoyo with a raised eyebrow, while approaching her friend. "Err... why do you sound like that?", asked a defensive Sakura. "Well my dear bessie, I've known you since 4th grade and I think you don't see him as my 'customer' only..."teased Tomoyo. "Uhhmm, I sort of invited him to the café's grand opening next weekend", said a dumbfounded Sakura. "Let's just hope he comes..." she added while her cheeks were blushing like crazy. Tomoyo on the other hand was lovestruck for her friend. She was fluttering around her friend like an insane cupid, teasing her. "So what's his name?" asked Tomoyo in a teasingly manner..."Syaoran...Li Syaoran", Sakura said in a low, somewhat a whisper-like tone.
