Chapter 12

The Dress



"KYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

"SAKURA! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Kero asked in great concern.

Sakura woke up in shock, sweats wetted her pink pajamas.

"Ke. Kero-chan." she called.

"Were you having a nightmare?" Kero asked in a calmer tone.

"Hai." she answered slowly, still hadn't recovered from the shock.

"Do you remember it?" asked Kero seriously.

"I. I think so, it's a little bit blurry." Sakura said, unsure.

"Just tell everything you remember! Maybe it's a premonitory dream!" pushed Kero.

"Hmm." Sakura thought hard.

"I. I was in a dark place." she started.

"And. And there was somebody, circled by the 10 Clow Cards!"

"NANDA?!" Kero particularly shouted.

"Un!" Sakura assured.

"Hm. it seems to be a serious problem." the little guardian said seriously in a thinker pose.

"Wha. What could it be?" asked Sakura in hesitant.

"It *must* be a premonitory dream, and it somehow trying to point something out." explained Kero.

"Really.?" Sakura looked worried.

Both of them fell silent. But suddenly.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Come in!" Sakura replied.

It was Tomoyo.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Sakura-chan," she, like usual, greeted politely.

"Ohayo, Kero-chan,"

"Ohayo, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura greeted back.

"Yo! Ohayo!" Kero merrily replied.

"To. Tomoyo-chan. *What* do you have there.?" Sakura asked, stressing the word 'what' a bit. n_n;

"Oh?" Tomoyo said innocently, a familiar HUGE basket sat on her lap.

"This is the basket to put things for Sakura-chan's battle costumes!" Tomoyo declared proudly.

"Hoe." Sakura fell down comically while Kero sweat dropped. n_n;

************************************************************************

"Yo, Tomoyo-chan! Can I help?!" asked Kero eagerly.

Sakura and the others are in a special room for sewing things(Wonder how Eriol knew this. Then again. n_n;)

"Sure, Kero-chan, cold you take that red ribbon there, please?" asked Tomoyo.

"Ugh! Ugh!" Kero struggled to lift the heavy HUGE ribbon. (Wha.?! 0_o;)

Sakura sweat dropped.

"Thanks!" Tomoyo said to Kero as if nothing happened.

"You're really good at sewing, ne, Tomoyo-chan?!" praised Mai Lin.

"Ah, arigatou gozaimasu." she smiled politely.

"But Daidouji, don't you think it's a little bit. *gaudy* ?" Shao Ran asked with a sweat drop on his head.

Tomoyo smiled.

"Hm. I think it's more normal than yours in the Sleeping Beauty play," she said calmly.

". I. guess so." Shao Ran sweat dropped more.

"But Tomoyo-chan, what's this battle costume for?" Sakura asked, confused.

"Oh, that's."

************************************************************************

"A FASHION SHOW?!" Sakura and friend(excluding Tomoyo) shouted in surprise.

"Yes. There's a famous fashion show today, which I know Tomoyo would like." said Eriol calmly.

"HAI! And Suppi and I would like to see it too!" Nakuru said, cheerfully as always.

"Who do you called *Suppi*?!" Suppi shouted angrily.

"Well, shall we go now?" Eriol asked, ignoring the quarrelling guardians.

"U. Un." Sakura said with a HUGE sweat drop.

************************************************************************

"WOW! Look at all of those models!" Mei Lin shouted *really* loud, causing the other people to wince and stared coldly at Mei Lin and the others.

"Mei Lin! You're voice is too loud!" Shao Ran whispered.

"It's not! WOW! Look at THAT!" Mei Lin shouted, ignoring both Shao Ran and the death-glaring people.

"But Tomoyo could make clothes better than them!" Sakura praised.

"Ohohohoho." Tomoyo hime-laughed again. n_n;

"It's definitely . eccentric." Shao Ran commented with a low voice.

Suddenly, a pink, satin cloth dropped onto Tomoyo.

"A. ribbon?" Sakura said with a sweat drop.

"It's-" Shao Ran cut his line.

"This feeling. Clow Card?!" Sakura gasped.

The pink ribbon glowed and turned into a girl with silver hair, a pink bow on her head.

"KYAAAAA!!" Mei Lin, Tomoyo, and the other people scream in panic.

"Kero-chan! It's."

"I don't know! But you must definitely seal it!" said Kero.

"Right!" Sakura lifted her wand with a determined face.

The girl beamed again, and it charges Sakura with. clothes?!

Sakura fell down comically, while Shao Ran sweat dropped.

"I think. It's The Dress." guessed Shao Ran with massive sweat drops, hair sprouting from his chibi head.

"Ah, sou." Sakura sweat dropped.

Sakura spotted Eriol, who sat calmly on his seat.

"Eriol-kun! What can it do?!" asked Sakura frantically when the clothes almost buried her...

"Well, usually it can produces clothes in a blink of an eye." he answered innocently.

The others face-faulted and sweat dropped.

"That's it.?!" Shao Ran asked, frustrated in the bundle of clothes.

"Hm." Eriol made a thinker's pose.

"It maybe can give you advices on clothes."

They sweat dropped even more.

"Re. Return to your true self, Clow Card." Sakura said with a sweat drop and hit the clothes with her wand.

The card shone and revealed a girl with pink ribbon with the word 'THE DRESS' below it.

Of course, the clothes disappeared and revealed the almost-out-of-breath Mei Lin and Tomoyo.

'Hm. What am I going to do with this.' Sakura thought.

************************************************************************

Next morning.

"Hm, what do you think?" Tomoyo asked a girl with a pink bow.

"Hm. perfect!" she said happily.

"You're great!" she praised Tomoyo.

"Ohohohoho." she chuckled.

"To. Tomoyo-chan~!" Sakura, act almost as a mannequin/model, cried.

'I think I shouldn't have lent The Dress to Tomoyo.' she thought silently, tear lines on her face.
