I'm sooooo sorry! I've been caught up building my website and doing homework, so please don't be mad! Gomene, gomene, gomene! I'll come up with two chapters this week, I promise! I already have everything written out, and I have shortened school days this week and there's only four more chapters to type up. I'll type up as much as I can! You can do it! four chapters! Even if it means...wait...nevermind. Wait...I forgot...I wrote it all up so long ago that it all sounds like shit! NOO!! EEEEVIL!! Anyways, I've changed the story, it was going to be related to that "mysterious tune", but what the hell, changing it around a bit anyways. This chapter seems to ricochet between pov's without notice, so keep in mind that it usually goes Sora/Yamato/3rd person, even though I might leave out the 3rd person part at certain points. I don't think ff.net is e-mailing you every time someone reviews, I don't think it will e-mail author alerts. So if you want, e-mail me and I'll e-mail you when I get a new chapter up. I'm working on fixing my problem of notoriously short chapters. I was reading this one fic, and didn't finish it, so I copied it into word and printed it out. It turned out to be twenty pages for just two chapters. NOO!! I WILL write longer chapters! Anyways, on to the fic!

Part 2: Cosmic Forecast

Chapter 4: Not a Date

"LIBRA: Don't be afraid to make a new friend. Remember, it can only help you or harm you." Sora read. She sat in her kitchen in front of her second cup of coffee. "Why do I even bother reading these things?" she chortled. "I mean, even I could tell myself that it could only help me or harm me." she got up and headed out the door, putting the newspaper in the recycle bin.

The daily five block route to work was usually just an uneventful walk through streets and stoplights. Usually. Sora waited with the growing crowd to cross the street. She looked around. 'Hmm...I've seen him before.' looking at a blond guy not much older than herself. 'I should 'make friends' with him.' she thought as she stepped over to where he was standing. She vaguely remembered him, but all she could recall was his blond hair since his baseball cap had covered up most of his face. She could now see his deep azure eyes and styled hair-do. He had an uneven tan on his face, his cheeks more bronzed than the rest of his face.

"Hey," she said.

A cold, hard glare that maksed his face was soon replaced with a gentle smile. "Oh, hi." He turned in Sora's direction.

'Oh, my, god! He's so hot! How did I not remember this?'she said. Her head had already turned into a gelatin-like substance as she tried he best not to gape at him.

"Okay, I know this. Your name was Sarah. No wait, Sandy or Sonia. No, it was...aha! Sora, right? So what's up?" he said quickly, seeing as he had embarassed himself. 'I remembered that she was good-looking, but she's more than that. She's just plain hot. She reminds me of someone, I just can't put my finger on who it is though.'

"Oh, nothing much." Ugh. Is there such word as ultra-awkward? I know, it would be one stupid word, but sorta expresses just half of how awkward it is right now.

The light changed and they walked across the street next to each other, in silence. Before they went their seperate ways, Sora spoke out. "Do you want to get together around lunchtime or something? I read about this great restaurant in the paper and wanted to try it."

"Sure. I don't think I'm too busy today. So I'll meet you here at about 12:30?"

"Cool. It's a date then." She turned and started towards the furniture store she called her workplace. 'God.Why did I have to say 'It's a date'? I mean, I don't think you're supposed to say that to a guy. I say it all the time to Mimi and Hikari and my other girlfriends, but saying it to a guy? He might think it's an actual date. Damn astrology. What did it get me into?...'
