Christmas Angel
Chapter 5
Sakura woke up Monday morning feeling drowsy. She sat up, yawned and stretched. Then the events of last night came back to her. Sighing, Sakura turned to look at her digital clock at her bedside. It was 10:23.
BRING!
The phone on her bedside table was ringing. Wondering who it was, she picked it up. "Kinomoto residence. Sakura speaking."
"Morning, Sakura!" came a cheerful voice.
"Good morning to you too, Tomoyo." Sakura said smiling.
"Can I ask you a favor?" Tomoyo asked.
"Sure. What?"
"Can you come over and help me with my party? My staff is on holiday and I need some help."
"Of course. I'll be over in 15 minutes."
"Thanks Sakura. I appreciate it." Tomoyo said gratefully.
"Your welcome. Bye."
"Bye."
Sakura hung up the phone and quickly got dressed. She grabbed the present that she had gotten yesterday and ran down the stairs. Sakura was at the door when Touya opened his mouth.
"What about your breakfast, kajui?" Touya asked.
"Gr. I… forgot." Sakura said angrily. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of toast.
"There, are you happy?" she asked, talking a bite.
"Yes, I am. Now where were you off to in such a hurry?"
"Not that's it's any of your business, but, Tomoyo's." Sakura said, finishing her toast and heading for the door. (fast eater, isn't she?)
Sakura stepped outside and shivered. It was so cold. She suddenly felt an odd sensation that she had forgotten something. Then the door opened again behind her and Touya stepped out.
"Forget something, kajui?" he asked, holding out fabric to her.
"My jacket!" She took it from Touya's hand and glared at his smirk. "I just have a lot on my mind this morning, thank-you very much."
After putting on her jacket, Sakura headed off to Tomoyo's house and arrived there in about 9 minutes. When she got there, she rang the bell on the fancy mansion that belonged to her best friend, Tomoyo.
Tomoyo answered in world record time. She smiled at Sakura warmly. "Come on in Sakura."
"So, what exactly do you need my help with?" Sakura asked, entering the mansion. Inside the decorations were barley started. The tree was up but bare. The presents were wrapped but piled up near the television. And there were boxes and boxes of ribbons, lights, ornaments, holly, and many other Christmas decorations. "Everything."
"Okay, let's get started!" Sakura said, pushing up her sleeves. Tomoyo copied her gesture and they began walking towards the boxes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Passage of Time ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Phew." Sakura wiped her forehead and surveyed the work they had done. "I'm glad that's done."
"Yeah, and I love the way it turned out." Tomoyo said happily. Each room was festively done over with decorations and Christmas music was playing on Tomoyo's c.d. player over loud speakers.
"One more little detail." Tomoyo said, smiling at Sakura.
"There's more?!"
"Don't worry, it's not hard. I'm just going to show you the dress I made for the party. Plus mine too." Tomoyo said.
Here come the pink, frilly, laces. Sakura thought with a sweat drop as she climbed the stairs to Tomoyo's room.
"Close your eyes." Tomoyo instructed.
Sighing, Sakura did as she was told and closed her eyes. I know I'm going to regret letting Tomoyo make this dress for me.
"Now I really wanted to make a pink carnation dress trimmed with light pink lace and have it tied in the back with a light pink ribbon." Tomoyo said.
I was right. Sakura thought. I just hope that no one will recognize me.
"But I thought of something even better.Open your eyes."
Sakura opened her eyes, prepared for her worst fear of a dress, but was surprised and pleased at what she saw. In Tomoyo's hands was a rich green silk dress that hugged around the shoulders and was trimmed in pure white at the end of the sleeves and at the shoulder line. The dress was split in the middle at the waist going down to show white layered skirt underneath.
"So? How do you like it?" Tomoyo asked.
"I love it!" Sakura exclaimed.
"I thought you would." Tomoyo said. "Do you want to see my dress?"
"Sure." Sakura said happily.
"Okay, just hold on a sec." Tomoyo handed Sakura her dress and she went inside her walk-in closet. When she emerged she was holding a long violet dress with puffy yellow sleeves and with a yellow trim at the bottom. "I'm going to wear my yellow headband with it. What do you think?"
"It's perfect for you, Tomoyo!" Sakura said smiling at her best friend.
"Yeah. Oh, look at the time!"
"What time is it?" Sakura asked curiously.
"It's 5: 52!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Oh my gosh! It's been that long?"
"Look, you go dress in my bathroom and I'll dress in my closet. Okay?" Tomoyo instructed. "Oh and put this on too. It's an accessory."
Tomoyo had given her a green neck choker that matched her dress. She smiled at it. Tomoyo had really outdone herself.
Sakura and Tomoyo quickly got dressed and met in her room once again. Tomoyo eyed Sakura critically. "Something's not quite right."
"What?"
"Your hair. It has to be up somehow. Here, follow me." Tomoyo took Sakura and brought her to her bathroom where Sakura had changed. Then, with the precision of a brain surgeon, Tomoyo put Sakura's hair into a tight bun, leaving the hair that wrapped around Sakura's face and her bangs alone.
"Come on. We need to do a final check of the house." Tomoyo said cheerfully.
The girls dashed around the mansion and made sure everything was in place and ready. When they were sure that the decorations and refreshments were perfect they sat down on the couch in the family room, waiting for the guests to arrive. Tomoyo sighed. "Now all we have to do is wait for everyone to show up."
No sooner than the words were out of her mouth than the doorbell rang. Tomoyo smiled at Sakura excitedly and said. "Here we go."
