"Where are my socks?" Sakura muttered under her breath, digging into her sock drawer. "I don't want to keep Tomoyo-chan and the others waiting."

"Sakura-san," Fujitaka said from the doorway. "Aren't you going to meet up with your friends at the skating rink?"

"I know, I'm coming!" she said, grabbing up a pair of plain white socks.

Her father looked at the socks she took semi-quizzically. "What happened to the winter socks I gave you?"

"Um…" Sakura thought for a moment as she picked up her bag. "For some reason, they all disappeared right after I washed them…"

"Strange…" Fujitaka wondered out loud as he turned back into the hallway. "Better hurry up, you're going to be late."

"Coming," the girl replied, all thoughts of the socks leaving her mind for the moment…

"This is heaven…" he murmured as he took a bite of a freshly baked gingerbread cookie. "I am never going to let Sakura have her socks back…"
