So Much to Do! - Chapter 2
Sakura was ecstatic. Tomoyo came back the day before & had just called her. Almost unbelievably, Sakura had asked her if she would make her wedding dress… and Tomoyo had of course, agreed. She looked over at her clock, 2:25, she was supposed to be there at 2:30. Sakura ran out of the house and down to Tomoyo's. "Tomoyo!"
"Sakura!" Tomoyo squealed & pulled her inside. "I have great news!"
"What is it?" Sakura could already guess.
"Eriol… and I… are engaged too!"
"Congratulations!" Sakura gave her friend a hug. "I can't believe that we're already both engaged!"
"I know! Isn't it fantastic! I've never been so happy!" Tomoyo smiled. "Okay… let's get down to business." She pulled out a stack of wedding books. "We can talk later, this is important. Let's find your perfect wedding dress! We can look in these for ideas, & then expand on them!"
Sakura wondered if her wedding dress would end up looking like her old battle costumes. "Hehehe. Expand?"
"Well, NOT like your costumes." Tomoyo practically read her thoughts & laughed as Sakura let out a huge sigh of relief. "But, we can make a dress with all of the different things that you like in these dresses."
"Oh… Okay!" Sakura sat down on the bed & began flipping through a big book full of beautiful dresses. "I forgot about bridesmaids!" Sakura realised as she saw a picture of a bride & her 3 bridesmaids.
"Don't worry. You still have 7 1/2 months left." Tomoyo giggled.
"Yeah. Oh my goodness! Look at this dress! It's beautiful! Don't you love how it has those embroidered roses on it?!" Sakura was starry eyed. "And this one too!"
"Look at this one!" Tomoyo gasped & held up the book she was looking at.
"That's beautiful too! Oh Tomoyo! HOW am I ever going to decide if I like EVERY dress?" Sakura laughed & so did Tomoyo. Suddenly, the phone rang.
Tomoyo ran & answered it. "Hai?" (I know it means yes… it makes sense, to me at least.) She said. "Oh? Syaoran!" She laughed. "You can't stand to be away from her for 1 day, can you?" She teased.
Sakura shook her head with a smile & continued to look through the book. She could practically HEAR him turning red, even though Tomoyo was the one on the phone & the fact that she was standing 3 feet away.
"Oh? Mochiron! That's great! Bai!" She hung up & hopped back onto the bed & picked up her book again. "Guess what?"
"What?"
"Meiling is coming to visit & help us find wedding dress ideas!"
"When?" Sakura smiled.
"Now!" Tomoyo smiled.
"I didn't even know that she was in town! Ooh! Yay!" Sakura looked out the window.
"Sakura? Check this one out!" Tomoyo pointed out yet another 'beautiful' dress. About 10 minutes later they heard a knock on the door. "Meiling!"
"Hello girls!" Meiling smiled happily. "I couldn't wait to see you. I hope that Syaoran & Zhou don't mind too much, I just get here & it seems like I'm already running away from them." She laughed.
"When did you get in?" Tomoyo asked.
"About 2 hours ago."
"Really? WAIT A MINUTE! Who's 'Zhou'?" Sakura asked.
"I told you about Zhou the first day I came back… my boyfriend?" Meiling said. "Remember?"
"Oh yeah! Mochiron."
"So, what's new and exciting?"
"Eriol asked me to marry him!" Tomoyo happily showed her the ring.
"Congratulations!" Meiling said.
"Thank you. We've been looking at wedding dresses so that Sakura can decide what she wants hers to look like, do you want to help?"
"Do I?!" She hopped onto the bed as well & opened up a book too. "I guess you'll be needing one of these soon enough yourself, huh?" She grinned at Tomoyo.
"Eventually." Tomoyo giggled. "But we haven't begun thinking & planning it yet. Sakura & Syaoran already have a date set, they have a deadline to have everything done by."
"Oh yeah!" Sakura remembered. "Now I don't have to call you! The wedding is on February 14th."
"Aw!" Meiling sighed. "That's adorable."
"Mizuki-sensei thought the same thing."
"When did you see her?" Tomoyo asked.
"The day you left. She saw us in the park after she left the airport." Sakura explained.
"Wow." Meiling said. "I can't believe it. Is she coming to the wedding?"
"I think so. We still need to get invitations!" Sakura realized. "I can't just TELL everyone about the wedding. That's not right!"
"Don't worry. February is like, 7 months or so away. But, you DEFINITELY can't wait until the last minute, so after you figure out the details such as the time & where & all of that, send them out ASAP." Meiling said.
"Yeah." Tomoyo agreed.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Tomoyo? Are you ACTUALLY going to start making the dress NOW? You don't need to, you know." Sakura asked her as Tomoyo pulled out her measuring tape.
"Mochiron. " Tomoyo smiled. "I'm at least gonna get the measurements right so that I can start working on it tomorrow!"
Meiling couldn't help but laugh at the look on Sakura's face. "You- you ARE gonna make it like we planned it right… like it was in the book?"
"Mochiron!" Tomoyo giggled. "Demo… don't you like my designs?" Tomoyo feigned hurt feelings.
"Mochiron!" Sakura nodded in a panic & Meiling laughed again.
"I know." Tomoyo laughed.
"By the way… what time is it?" Meiling looked around the room for a clock.
"HOOOEEEEEE!!!!" Sakura looked at her watch. "I was supposed to meet Syaoran 20 minutes ago! Is it really 6:20?!"
"Yes."
"HOE! Doumo Arigatou, Tomoyo & Meiling! I've got to go!" Sakura ran out of the house & down the street. She was in such a rush she wasn't even paying attention to where she was going & as she ran around a corner she crashed right into someone. "Ow." She said as an afterthought as she sat on the ground. "Gomen."
"Daijoubu ka? Kaijuu?" A familiar voice laughed.
"Oniichan!" Sakura gasped & he helped her up. "I'm fine."
"Are you late to meet that gaki again?" ("Gaki" = "Brat" I think… correct me if I'm wrong! We don't exactly get taught that in school.)
"He's 18! When are you going to stop calling him 'gaki'?"
"Hm…. Probably after my first nephew…" Touya laughed & Sakura turned red… which made him laugh more.
"Hoe…"
"Well… what are you waiting for? Get going! You're late!" He gave her a little nudge. "And watch where you're going! Don't hurt yourself!" He called as Sakura continued on running.
Yukito came out of a store with a huge bag of food & made a quiet comment about Touya's "sister complex."
"Shut-up." Touya sighed. Yukito laughed & handed him the shopping bag. "Where are you going?"
"To get the second bag." Yukito said matter-of-factly.
"I should have guessed." Touya glanced around & the people walking down the street… giving him weird looks because of the ridiculously large shopping bag in his arms. 'I bet Yuki is the only one who uses bags this size for shopping.'
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Where is he?" Sakura wondered. She gazed around the park but couldn't see him. She sighed & flopped down onto the grass. "All that running… for nothing!" She panted. "I was too late anyway! Oh… he's gonna be mad that I didn't show!" She closed her eyes & imagined Syaoran leaning up against a tree & checking his watch a final time before sighing & walking back to his apartment.
"Hey beautiful."
"Nani?!" Sakura's eyes shot open to see a man's face just inches away from her own. "Ah!" She brought up her leg & pushed him away with her foot, sending him a good few feet away as she leapt to her feet.
"Ow."
"Oh No! Syaoran!" Sakura gasped & ran over to him. "I'm so sorry… I didn't know it was you!" She kneeled down beside him.
"You're gonna be a abusive wife, aren't you?" Syaoran grinned. "Things like this seem to always happen."
"I'm sorry! Daijoubu ka?"
"Daijoubu." He laughed. "Sorry I scared you." He pulled her closer to him in a kiss.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"I still say that Meiling's cooking is better." Syaoran laughed as they sat in his dining room eating Chinese take-out.
"It would be. This is take-out." Sakura laughed. (No offence to anybody who may own a Chinese take-out restaurant! I love Chinese food!) "Speaking of… How was your afternoon? I heard that Meiling's boyfriend is in town."
"What does that have to do with food?" Syaoran mused.
"Um… not really anything. But you mentioned Meiling & then I remembered her talking about him earlier & that you were hanging out with him this afternoon."
"Yeah. I showed around a few places… he's a pretty nice guy."
Sakura grinned. "Syaoran."
"What?" He looked up at her innocently.
"You're acting like Oniichan."
"WHAT?"
"Are you worried about Meiling?" Sakura teased. "You're so protective."
"I am not." He said defensively. Seeing Sakura's sceptical look he backed down. "Hey, I've practically lived with her for my entire life & she's helped me out a lot in the past few years… so what if I'm cautious of who she dates."
"It's not like it's your decision… You're like Oniichan… even if you like the guy, you're still reluctant to admit it because Meiling is like a sister to you." Sakura laughed. "Give it up already."
"Fine. I'll admit it… the guy IS different now that he's with Meiling… but when we were young he was such a bad kid." He frowned.
Sakura shook her head with a little smile. "Oh! By the way… Oniichan told me when he's gonna stop calling you 'gaki'."
"Oh joy." Syaoran said unenthusiastically. "When?"
"After his first nephew. I suppose the name will pass on to the next generation then."
"Poor kid." Syaoran said. "Ah! He was talking about OUR kid! Aw! Are our kids REALLY going to have a 'mean' Uncle Touya?"
"Nah. He'll lighten up after the wedding when he knows that there is nothing else he can do."
"That's good to know."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There's the end of the 2nd chapter! I hope it was alright… I had a MAJOR writer's block! I still need little ideas… so PLEASE email me with suggestions, or write them in the review…. I REALLY want you to!
And one more quick note: Meiling's boyfriend's full name is Yu Zhou. (family name 1st, like Li Meiling) In case you want to know… Yu = "jade" or "honour" or "happy" Zhou = "help, assist" this doesn't have much significance… it's just so that u know. ^_^
Sorry that it took SO LONG for this chapter! Now that spring break's over I have to go to school & do homework & all that… so I don't have as much time to write.
