Hello again, sorry you guys hated my last story… ugh I know it was terrible, I just felt bad about not updating for a long time so I rushed it… I should have taken my time, so I'm taking a day or so to write a new story and to take my time. (I do not own CCS)

Info: Sakura is 14 in this fic.

Chapter I:Toya's birthday

The rays of the early morning sun burned my eyes as I woke-up. I rubbed my eyes and slipped on my slippers. I headed toward the shower as I noticed a note on my Calender: Toya's Birthday: Buy gift.Great, I forgot to buy a present. I jumped in and out of the shower quickly and got dressed. I rushed down the stairs followed by another one of Toya's remarks of me being a monster. I ignored it and pasted him, heading for the door.

"You're not even going to say happy birthday?"

"Oh, gomen, happy birthday." I said shutting the door behind me.

The cool air of winter bit against my cheeks. I glanced at the soon to bud cherry tree's, Only a few more weeks!! I smiled, shoot time to get to Syaorans I began to run down the street to get there as soon as possible, well since I had to buy a present I left over an hour early, so I'm not really late. I hope he's not mad that I came to early.

ding dong……. ding dong… 'hold on minute' I heard from a distance. Wonder what he was doing

He opened the door with a questioned look. I explained to him that I forgot to buy Toya's his present and that I needed his help.

We ate some breakfast after he heard my stomach rumbling and we headed out. At least it was Sunday so we didn't have school, but I did have other plans for the day with Tomoyo. Well, anyways we went through tons of stores at the mall looking through presents, yet we couldn't find anything. Since we couldn't find anything we went card store when I passed a glass figure of the love of two best friends, which made me blush a little. I looked at the others and found a glass figure of a girl giving and older guy a present, they sort of looked like me and Toya. It was cute to I grabbed it and walking to Syaoran in the card section. He was looking at the humorous birthday cards.

"Found anything?" I asked Syaoran.

"Actually I found some pretty funny ones, here look at this one" He said passing me a card.I read it and giggled, it was perfect.

"I'm getting this one it's hilarious!" I exclaimed, "I'm going to pay, wait in the front for me okay?"

"Sure."He said and headed for the opening.

I went to the clerk and paid for them. Surprisingly it was cheaper then I thought. After me and Syaoran went to the exotic place next door and found some really cool things. They had some natural ointments and stuff, some tribal themed bathing suits, different kinds of bone type jewelry. I ended up buying some weird looking friendship bracelets for me and Syaoran, and this pendant with an eye and feathers in the stone for Toya.

The friendship bracelets were made with bone engraved beads. One had a pink stone and the other had a green stone, you could guess who got which. We got the gifts gift wrapped and then we went to the food court because I wanted ice cream.

"Um, can I get one strawberry cone and one chocolate cone.." I asked the person at the register

"That'll be $3.45."

"Here you go." I handed her the money and got a receit and the change back. A minute later I got the ice cream and we left. We got to his house and I said good-bye as I walked toward Tomoyo's house. She answered the door immediately and pulled me in.

"What took you so long you were suppose to be here over and hour ago!" She whined.

"Gomen, I had to shop for toya's present" I said.

"O whatever. So are you going to stand there looking like and idiot or are you going to try some clothes" She squealed with an evil grin. She through a pile a clothes at me and shoved me into a bathroom. I skimmed through the clothes until I found the most adorable green formal dress. It was a pale green with light pink lace. It had gloves and a pretty headband. I put it on a walked out.

"I like this one, and it fits me real good!" I exclaimed.

"Fine we'll go with this one, and I have lavender one so we can match." She said, "so where are we going this year?"

"um… I think we're going to that new fancy restraunt that just opened up." I said.

"I just love the food there, I went two days ago." She squealed drooling.

"Really? I haven't been there yet."

"Yeah, we were celebrating my mom's new expansion in Hong Kong." She exclaimed, "Oh yeah and my mom wanted me to give you this, it's a new head set toy slash cell phone."She handed it to me. It was of course it's pink.

"Cool, oh I just forgot my dad said we have to pick up the cake before 3 I think we should go pick it up now."I said looking at my watch.

"Shoot it's that late already, dang lets go…"
