Okay, I don't own CCS characters.

Only characters you don't recognize and don't know are mine.

Last Conversation and Paragraph of Chapter 2

"Madison did anyone ask you to the dance yet?" Sakura asked before packing up her school bags.

"Yup. Eli did." Madison said while she blushed.

Sakura gave Madison big grin and walked down to the lockers. Sakura changed into her normal shoes and was about to leave when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Sakura turned around and saw…

End of the Last Conversation and Paragraph of Chapter 2

Sakura turned around and saw Li! It was Li that was in her dream. It was he who asked her to the dance. Sakura wasn't sure of what Li was going to do. Then Sakura looked into Li's eyes and their eyes locked. Sakura didn't want to look away and so did Li. Their eyes locked for at least 5 minutes and finally Li said something (A/N: Boy if my eyes were locked for 5 minutes I'd be crying, because it stings!).

"S—S—Sakura, I—I was w—wondering if y—y—you would be a—a—able to g—go to the d—d—dance with me. I—if someone a—al—already asked y—you then I—it's okay w—with m—me. I'll j—just a—ask another p—p—person." Li said shaking every few words that came out of his mouth.

Sakura smiled, "Of course I'd love to go to the dance with you. But…"

"Someone must have asked you already. Its o-"

"No one asked me. It's just that I don't know how to dance." Sakura interrupted.

"Oh. Me neither. I'm not a good dancer. Oh, I heard Mr. Terata say that we're going to have a teacher coming in for us to teach us how to dance just in case we don't." Li blushed slightly.

"Anyways I got to go. 'Bye Li" Again before Sakura left, she pecked him on the cheek again which made Li turn as red as a lobster.

Li just stood there after Sakura had pecked him on the cheek. As if the Time Card had stop the time. Li blinked a few times and found out that he already stood there for at least 10 minutes. Li shock himself a few times and left.

When Li got home he heard the phone ring. So he dropped his thing at the door and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Li residents." Li answered.

"Hi Li. It's Sakura." Said the other end of the line.

"Hi Sakura. Is there a problem?" Li asked.

"Hmmm. You could say that I have a problem." Sakura replied.

"And what's that?"

"Math problem. Page 56, question 9"

"Okay." Giggled Li.

"What are you giggling at?"

"Nothing. Whenever you have something to ask me you look and sound cute." ~Uh oh. I spilled the beans. How could that have slipped out? Now if she doesn't know I like her then she didn't really hear that. Thought Li. ~

"…" ~ Cute? Li would never say I'm cute. He always hated me. There must be something wrong with him. Or maybe he likes me. No, that's impossible. We were rivals ever since we met. Thought Sakura. ~

"Sakura, are you okay?" Asked Li as he broke the silence.

"I—I'm f—fine. J—just a l—l—little t—tired." Replied Sakura shaking.

"Anymore questions?"

"Nope."

"Okay then. Good night Sakura."

"Good night Li."

They hung up.

Sakura put down the phone and went upstairs to go to bed. Kero wasn't asleep yet. He was sitting on Sakura's bed waiting for her.

"Kero, you should be sleeping right now. Why are you still up? Is there something wrong?" Sakura asked.

"No, nothing is wrong with me. It's just you." Kero said with now facial expression.

"Me? I'm fine, nothing is happening to me."

"Sakura, I heard you talk on the phone. That brat said you're cute."

Sakura turned into the color of pink, "H—he, y—you, you were eaves dropping?"

"No Sakura I wasn't. I was just scared that, that brat would do something to you, so I listened on you talking to him on the phone."

"Good night Kero, I'm sleeping." Sakura said ignoring what Kero had just said.

"S—Sa," Kero was cut off by Sakura because she turned out the lights. "Good night Sakura."

Next Morning

"Good morning Dad, Tori and Kero." Said Sakura brightly as she walked into the kitchen happily.

"Good morning Sakura." Aiden replied.

"'Morning squirt." Tori said as usual.

"'Moring Skura." Kero said while chewing on something. (A/N: Spelt that wrong on purpose.)

"What's for breakfast? Smells good!" Sakura sniffed.

Aiden smiled, "Fried eggs, bacon and orange juice."

"Mmmmmm."

15 Minutes Later

"'Bye Dad, see you after school!" Sakura yelled as she was going out of the front door.

"'Bye." Said Aiden.

At School

As soon as Sakura walked into the school building, Madison had got off her car and was running towards Sakura. Sakura slowly changed into her school shoes and waited for Madison. As Madison opened her locker there was a not inside there. In there was a card with very neat handwriting. Madison the looked at Sakura and Sakura turned away and walked into our classroom and waited for her to come in. Madison knew Sakura would ask her who gave the letter to her as soon as she walked into the room.

"Madison, who send it?" Sakura asked eagerly.

"Eli." Madison said in a soft voice.

"Why would E—. You and him…"

Madison gave a little nod.

"You're kidding."

She shook her head.

"Okay…"

Suddenly, both Li and Eli looked like they were fighting for whom was going to go thought the door first. ~Oh no, Sakura's here. I better let Eli go first. Thought Li. ~ ~Madison's already here better give up the fight. ~ They both stopped and offered each other to go first. Which didn't do well either. They kept on offering each other to go in first and both insisted to not go first. Sakura decided it was time to break them up so they could stop fighting. Sakura walked up to Li and grabbed his arm and pulled him into the classroom. Li certainly was blushing so much that it was very visible. Madison and Eli giggled a little and then looked away from them.

"Today we're going to have a dancing practice." Sakura told Li.

"Who's teaching?" Asked Li.

"We still don't know." Sakura replied as she looked out the window to look at the cherry blossom tree.

Start of Class

"Class, as you may all know today will be the first class of dancing," Mr. Terata stopped and looked at everyone to see if they were listening, "Your teacher for the dancing class will be…"
