--Chapter 2: The Inauguration...

"I can't believe we got to the top!!! We're real cadets now!!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "I've waited soo long for this!! One of my life long dreams have finally come true!!"

"One of your dreams? You have other dreams?" Sakura asked, while putting her new uniform on.

"Yes,"

"Like what?"

"I kinda wanted to become a singer,"

"Really? That's cool, so why didn't you sing instead of doing medicine?"

"Because this goal was my family's really, and I wanted to make them proud...I never really got to writing a song, but I usually sing for assemblies or things like that. I'm hoping to sing and help people at the same time, but it's impossible now that I've become a Starlight,"

"Yeah I guess thats true. I have a lot of dreams too. I just like magic a lot, and so I decided to go through this path,"

"What's your other dreams?"

Sakura blushed. "...To fall in love with someone special....And hoping that they feel the same way I feel about them everyday, all day. I'm hoping that they love me, the way I would...,"

"That's a nice dream, Sakura,"

"Yes...But...It will be a while before that comes true," She said, buttoning up her shirt.

"And why is that?"

"Because I'm a Starlight now...And, we travel a lot. I have no time for a boyfriend...Well, I'm ready, let's go the party,"

"Okay."

"This is sure exciting, huh, Syaoran?" Eriol asked.

"Yeah, sure...," He said.

"Are you going to dance with anybody today?"

"No...,"

"Why?"

"Because...,"

"Because....?"

"It's none of your business, Eriol,"

"You'll never get a girlfriend with that kind of attitude!" Eriol exclaimed.

"Like I need one. Why does it concern you, Eriol?!"

"Because you're my friend and a Starlight. My friends always needs what's best for them...Hmm...Let's see how about Sakura?"

"Sakura? Don't be ridiculous! We just met, and besides...I don't think she's my type,"

"Hell yeah, she your type! She's your type a whole lot, Syaoran! She's like the only girl who your practically nice to! You're even cold towards Yuki and Tomoyo, but not to Sakura!"

"She's new, and I-"

"...Don't want her to get the wrong impression of you? Boy, you never used to be like that! You like her don't you? Was it love at first sight, Syaoran, huh?"

Syaoran became red. "Shut up!! It's none of your business, Eriol!" He screamed.

Eriol then saw Sakura and Tomoyo walking along the hallway. "Here she is...! Your princess!"

"I swear I'll kill you, Eriol," Syaoran muttered under his breath.

"Hey, girls! Looking good!" Eriol said.

"Thanks, Eriol!" Tomoyo said.

"You guys look great too!" Sakura exclaimed. "These uniforms are soo much better then the other one...But too bad, we only get to wear it once!"

"Yeah, I know right?" Tomoyo said.

"Hey, Syaoran! You look good on that uniform!" Sakura exclaimed, walking up to him.

Syaoran blushed. "Well, uh, thanks!" He turned away. "Why am I acting like a spazz!? What the hell is wrong with me? ...I've...I've never felt this way about someone before...!"

A song began playing in a slow melody, and Eriol and Tomoyo winked at each other. "Hey, Tomoyo...Wanna dance?" Eriol asked.

"Sure, Eriol!" Tomoyo turned around. "Have fun you two! See you on the dance floor!" Eriol took Tomoyo's hand, and led her to the floor and began slowdancing.

"Those two really look nice together, ne?" Sakura asked.

"I guess so...," Syaoran said.

"Yuki said that we're going on our mission tomorrow morning....,"

"I know...,"

"Syaoran...?"

"Yes?"

"I know this may be silly asking you this, but...Dance with me?"

"She wants me to dance with her?" Syaoran thought. "I'm...not that good, Sakura,"

"You're a terrible liar, Syaoran. I know for a fact that they teach everyone the basics here, and dancing is one of them!"

"You know a lot, Sakura...I'm impressed,"

"So I take it that you won't?...You'll only dance with people who are special to you?"

"...I'll dance with you...,"

"You will!? Oh!!! Thank you, Syaoran!!" Syaoran led her to the dance floor, and started dancing with her. "You are good...You must pay attention a lot, ne?" Sakura asked softly.

"I guess...," He replied.

"Look at those two! We're getting there, Eriol!" Tomoyo whispered.

"Yeah, it's the first time, Syaoran's actually dancing with someone," Eriol whispered back.

"Can I ask you something...?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, sure,"

"Why do you act so cold to others...Like Yuki or Tomoyo or Eriol...But not to me?"

"Oh crap...!!" He thought. "Well I-I...," He stammered. "What the hell do I say?!" He thought. "It's because I...,"

"You...?"

"I...I...Well...you're new here, Sakura...So, I ...just decided to be nice and make sure you don't get the wrong impression of me, thats all...But...some of the kids here already have the wrong impression of me,"

"That's awful, Syaoran," She said, as he twirled her around, and back.

"That's what happens here, I guess...,"

The song ended, and all the couples bowed with each other. "Arigatou, Syaoran...I enjoyed this...," Sakura said.

"...Me too,"

"I'm going to head over to the garden now with Tomoyo. See you later, Syaoran," She said, walking away.

Syaoran saw Tomoyo leave Eriol as well, and was heading to the garden with Sakura.

"You did it, Syaoran!" Eriol exclaimed.

"Whatever," Syaoran said.

"What do you mean, 'whatever'! You should be happy!! I mean, you were practically blushing while you danced with the girl!" Eriol started walking away.

"Where are you going?!" Syaoran asked.

"...To the garden where the girls are...You coming?" Eriol asked.

"Whatever," He started walking towards the garden.
