yukito- Wow, I got a bunch of positive reviews in such a short time. Thanks
to everyone who reviewed!
Izeah- Yeah, your writing's normally not this popular. Especially with that weak
first chapter…
yukito- *maims Izeah*
Disclaimer- I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura, or anything for that matter. If I did, I'd
be hella rich.

Sakura put the phone down and blinked. Li had just asked her to go to the Halloween dance.
She said yes, of course, but it had been rather… unexpected.
"Who would've thought?" she mused aloud, returning to her chores.
Li had been holding his breath, although he didn't realize it until he felt the burning sensation
in his oxygen starved lungs. Releasing it with a funny 'whoosh' noise, he grinned widely.
'She said yes!' Li continued to grin at nothing in particular before stopping to think.
'The dance is Halloween themed, so I need a costume...' He decided to go
see the costume master.
Madison.
"This is great!" the previously mentioned Madison squealed. "You finally asked her out.
I was beginning to think you never would. I'm going to have to videotape everything…"
Li winced as he stared at the numerous tapes stacked against the wall and in racks and boxes.
She had tapes from when she was just a tiny unborn child in her mother's stomach. The girl
had more tapes and movies than Blockbuster.
"Madison, I just came by to ask if you could make me a costume for the dance. Not
to become the latest subject for your movies." He turned around and looked at the raven-haired
girl sitting at the desk.
"Oh, right! Sure, I can make you something. It'll be so cute!" Madison must have
had to much sugar, because she was acting like a hyperactive five-year-old.
"Please, don't make it cute," Li sighed. "I don't want to look
like a dork."
Madison looked a little disappointed, but must have gotten a new idea because she
cheered right up again.
"Yes, I understand. I'll get to work right away!" Madison turned the chair around and
began to draw something on a piece of paper. Li decided to leave her to her work.
On his way out he spotted several tapes titled: 'Kero Sleeping; Li Sleeping; Sakura Sleeping;
Eli Sleeping.'
Li thought it best not to ask.
Sakura was walking down the street, coming home from buying groceries. They (being
her brother and herself) had made the mistake of inviting Julian for dinner the other night. And of
course Kero had to come to.
Needless to say, the refrigerator was completely bare, and only a few packets of
instant oatmeal could be found in the pantry. That was the only thing Sakura had eaten all day.
Sakura was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't see Eli until they had
knocked into each other, causing Eli to drop his books and Sakura to drop her groceries.
"Eli! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention," Sakura said apologetically as she bent
down to retrieve the fallen items.
"No, I'm sorry; I should've been looking at where I was going." Eli stooped down
on the ground to help her. After a few moments all of their items had been sorted through
and Eli stood up, holding out his hand to Sakura.
"Thanks." Sakura grabbed his hand and he pulled her up. "So what're you doing
for the dance?" Sakura asked.
"What, you aren't going with anyone yet?" Eli asked, raising an eyebrow. "I thought
for sure Li would have asked you."
"Oh! He did, he did. I just wanted to know if you were going with anyone yet. I
really think Madison has a crush on you." Sakura started laughing, and Eli joined her.

Li was walking down the street to Sakura's house. He decided to go talk to her.
As he rounded the corner, he saw Eli and Sakura laughing together.
'Hey! That's my girlfr- er, okay, so she's not really my girlfriend. Yet.' Li
thought. He really didn't like that Eli kid to much. He always seemed to be making moves
on Sakura, and Li got some really bad vibes whenever he was near the dark-haired boy.
Li ran down the street. "Hey, Sakura." he smiled. "Hi, Eli." Li glared at the other boy,
who smiled back as if he were oblivious to the evil look he was receiving.
"Hello, Li. Sakura and I were just talking about the dance and-," Eli didn't have enough
time to finish. He had blinked once and they were both gone.
"Li! What was that all about?!" Sakura asked, glancing torpidly (I used a big word!)
at her surroundings. Li had whisked her off the minute he had seen an opening. Which was when
he blinked. Li honestly didn't think he could ever run and drag a person that fast.
"Well?" Li looked up at a flustered Sakura who was demanding an explanation.
"I wanted to…ask if you wanted to go to me with the movies…" Li said slowly.
So it wasn't the best excuse in the world, but it would have to do.
"The movies? Was it really that serious?" Sakura looked confused. Li didn't answer.
"Uh, okay, I'll go with you to see a movie later. Right now I have to get home." Sakura rushed
off after a quick 'bye'.
Li sighed in relief and, convinced that Eli wouldn't try anything else today, he
began walking to his own home. What Sakura said hit him a few minutes later.
"SHE SAID YES!" Li jumped up and grinned, earning himself a stare from
an old lady waiting by the bus stop.
But Li didn't care. He was to happy.

yukito- Okay, the next chapter, only cause everyone was so nice.
Li- *snorts* …Whatever.
Squall- That's my line. *glares*
Li- *glares back*
*the two get in a staring contest*
yukito- …Whate- *both turn to glare at her* Eep! Uh, the next chapter will come out soon! (hopefully, I
sort of have a writer's block for ideas on this story, and I still have so many other stories to finish. Note
to self: Never write 5 stories at one time.)
