The Decision and the Call
Sakura skated off to school at a leisurely pace. Unlike her usual routine she had plenty of time. Recently she had woken up from disturbing dreams and was too shaken up to fall back to sleep. She had tried many times to remember the dreams but nothing happened. Part of her was glad for it too; they left her feeling so scared.
"I should write him about it." She thought aloud.
"Who?" a voice asked from behind her
Sakura jumped about a foot in the air. Then she turned and recognized Tomoyo.
"Did you have to scare me like that??" she said panting
She simply smiled innocently "Who are you writing?"
"Sy. Syaoran." she knew lying wouldn't work on Tomoyo.
"About what??" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.
"A dream," then seeing the worried look on Tomoyo's face she quickly added "don't worry about it. I'm sure it's nothing."
"Then you wouldn't be writing him about it" Tomoyo mumbled under her breath.
"What?"
"Then we had better be going, ne?" she said pointing to the clock tower atop the school in the distance. "Hhhhoooooeeeee!!!!!" she said as she noticed they were running late.
"Class I have an announcement to make, please take your seats." the teacher called out over the noisy classroom. "What do you think it is Tomoyo?" Sakura asked leaning over to her friend's desk "I dunno." She replied honestly. Once the class calmed down and sat in their seats the teacher continued.
"Next month as a gift to the best fund-raising class we are having a special dance." A murmur went through the class as this was said.
"It's going to be held at the Domoyoji residence. They were very considerate to let us use their new dance hall. Everyone needs to bring a date, and dress nice please. The date of the event is the 20th. As you know today is the first." She looked at the anxious class then down to their schedule for the week "Since none of you look like you'll actually concentrate on studies now, I'll give you 5 minutes to talk this over with your friends and get it out of your system. OK?"
"Hai!!!!" the class answered anxiously. Sakura and her group got together.
"Yamazai-kun, you're coming with me right?" Chiharu asked
"Of course," he replied with a smile "But you better cook me something good so I don't change my mind," he said teasingly.
She gave a half-hearted glare. He gave her a quick kiss on her forehead and she gave him a questioning look.
"You're cute when you're mad." He said.
Sakura looked away quickly. She didn't mean to be rude but whenever she saw that she couldn't help but think 'That could have been Syaoran and I, maybe'
"Who am I going to ask Tomoyo? Nobody here will go with me." Sakura asked
Sakura was very pretty and quite a few boys in the school had crushes on her but she was notorious as a bad date. She stood some up, seemed distant at others, and whenever the guy tried to get close to her she started crying. None of them were him. Nobody could compare to Syaoran.
"This is a big thing, nobody's going to risk a date with me."
"I can set you up with somebody." Tomoyo replied
"I don't know."
"Oh come on. What have you got to lose?"
"I guess you're right." Sakura replied after a bit of thought
"Good, I'll call him later." She had a mischievous look when she said this
"The 20th?" A male voice said over the phone "That soon? I don't know if I can."
"You have to, she needs you here" Tomoyo said over the phone "Plus you said you were worried about something right?"
"Yeah. So?"
"She had some kind of dream she was going to write you about. It has to be serious she wouldn't even tell me about it." She could almost feel the reaction through the telephone line over the hundreds of miles.
"You better not be lying." Syaoran said seriously
"I'm not. So you're coming right?"
"Yes, did you tell her you were asking me?"
"No"
"Keep it that way"
"All right Kenchi"
"Kenchi? Did you forget my name already?"
"That is your name"
"You've officially lost it"
"If you want to disguise yourself you need a new name right?"
"Oh, I follow you"
"See you on the 20th Kenchi"
"Yeah, bye"
~ The 19th ~
"So where'd you meet this Kenchi guy?" Sakura asked
"We've already gone over this, stand still," Tomoyo replied with pins in her mouth.
"Aren't you done yet? I'm afraid to see what the dress looks like."
"Yes I'm done," she poked Sakura lightly with a pin "And that's for doubting my dressmaking skills.
Sakura turned to the full-length mirror, expecting to see bows everywhere. Instead she saw a beautiful flowing pink dress with Sakura flowers seeming to pool by her feet. And a plunging back secured with thin pink ribbon crisscrossing across the back.
"It's beautiful Tomoyo!" She gasped
Tomoyo emerged from behind a door with wearing a similar dress. Her's had the same basic design but her's was purple and faded from dark to light from the bottom up.
"We're matching!" she cried out
"I'm so nervous Tomoyo"
"I think it'll turn out better than you think" Tomoyo said mischievously
"I wish Syaoran was here," she said with a sigh while still examining the dress. Tomoyo only smiled at this.
