-----------------------------------------

Today is our first OFFICIAL date. That's right, Syaoran asked me out! It's 2 AM in the morning, and I am too excited! Last night, Tomoyo and I discussed what I would wear. We thought that it wouldn't be a formal dinner. Just at a normal restarunt and a movie or something. So, she helped me picked out a jean skirt and a black and white striped shirt. It's a really cute outfit. Tomoyo always is good at this stuff.

I lied in my bed with my eyes wide open. My heart is beating like crazy. Why am I so nervous..? I've been out with Syaoran for ice-cream like a million times. We always have fun together. Why am I so nervous now?

I guess..it's just that we both know that..there's a diffrence between a date and a ..just two friends gathering..

My thoughts couldn't compelete. They were jumping all over the place...Eventually, I fell asleep.

---------------------------------------

"Wake up. Sakura!" A knock could be heard.

"Hai!" I sat up from my bed and glanced at my alarm clock. It was already 8:25! I am going to be late for class.

"I'm LATE!" I yelled.

Tomoyo opened the door and laughed gently. "I knew you would be. So breakfast is ready for you. So brush you teeth and move!"

"Okay!" I looked at her with a gratitude smile.

I quickly threw on a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Grabbed my books and raced to the washroom. In a quick gulp, I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

Tomoyo suddenly grabbed my shoulders and stopped me.

"Sakura..calm..down.." She glanced at her watch "You still have plenty of time."

With a smile, she sat me down to some nice and warm toast.

"Enjoy! And don't forget about..." She winked and left the kitchen. I quickly ate my toast, drank my orange juice. And is on my way to class.

"Thanks Tomoyo! Gota go!" I grabbed my bag and raced to class...

----------------------------------

"Ohayou..Sakura-chan." It was Syaoran. I blushed and sat down at my usual seat.

"Ohayou!.." I looked away and opened my books.

Class flew by fast. I took some notes, listened in class. Participated in some discussions. And bam..class was over..

In a few hours..Syaoran would come and pick me up for our...DaTE!

I quickly left when class ended. I still had butterflies in my stomach.

Suddenly, I felt a grip. Syaoran's hand rested on my shoulder.

"Sakura!" His bright voice made me smile.

"Hai." I turned around shyly.

"I'll pick you up at 7?" He asked.

"Of course." I grinned and walked away.

-----------------------------------

Tomoyo was already in our apartment when I reached there.

"Ready?" Tomoyo grinned at me when I rested down on the couch.

"For what?" I asked.

"I'm gonna do your hair and stuff." She grabbed a small box under her bed.

"Make up too!" She held up the box.

"Oh..okay! Well actually, I'm not too sure about this..I'm gonna shower and change into the clothes we picked out last night." I headed toward the washroom.

"Sakura! Come on..sit! I promise everything will be light..and you'll look like an angel." I blushed..

I sat down and faced a mirror.

"Wait! Shouldn't I shower first?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, do that..come on! Time's a wasting!" I headed toward the shower.

----------------------------------

"Sit, Sakura!" I am now in my robe sitting in a chair facing a mirror.

She blow dried my hair. And let it fall to my shoulders, she brushed it out throughly. With two simple clips, she clipped my bangs to the side.

Tomoyo took out the box again, and with two small brushes she applied some blush. Then, a black pencil to mark a bit of my eyes. Then lastly, the lip stick. She chose a light pink colour.

That took about ten minutes.. when she said light. I guess she meant "light"

I disappeared into my room and changed. I stepped out into the living room.

Tomoyo gasped. "You look fantastic! Syaoran's gonna melt when he sees you."

So for the next hour and half. I just sat around and watched a bit of TV..waiting for him to come.
