"Tomoyo, are we going to watch Honey?" Eriol asked her after waiting for 15
minutes.
"Yes, Yes. But Sakura needs to do something first. I promised to watch it together with her."
"Goodness. I didn't expect Sakura to be so late." Eriol grumbled.
"Well, it not like she had always been late." A voice answered back.
Eriol turned and his face turned beetroot red. "Oh, Sakura. Sorry, I didn't know I was talking so loud." He gave a sheepish grin.
Sakura just grinned back. "Silly Eriol. Still the same."
Eriol and Syaoran were taken back with her smile. For the past few days there were with her, she never good-heartedly grinned at them, or anyone else.
"Sakura, are you alright?" Syaoran asked.
"Baka! When I don't smile, you ask what's wrong. When I do, you ask me whether I am alright. What you want me to do? Fine, I am going to get the tickets." Sakura turned away and was stopped by Tomoyo.
"Sakura, they are just plain dumb. Ignore them. I have gotten the tickets already. Let's go.
With that, Sakura went along with Tomoyo while the two guys were wondering what's with the sudden change in Sakura.

"She is just so cool! The dancing is terrific. Oh, I want dance just like her." Sakura commented when they stepped out of the cinema.
"Right, Jessica Alba is really pretty." Eriol said with Syaoran nodding his head in agreement.
"Guys, always judging gals by their looks rather than character." Tomoyo snorted and started talking to Sakura asking her what shops to crash.
Sakura just tagged along, laughing and teasing Tomoyo about her obsession in making costumes and clothings.
"She is so different!" Eriol commented.
"Tell me about it. It seemed as if we were first introduced to her evil twin sister before she came out today."
"You think it's possible?"
"You kidding Eriol? There's no way. . ." Syaoran trailed off. Eriol's doubt started making him think about the weird behaviour that Sakura exhibited during school hours. Now, she behaved like their Sakura five years ago.
"Guys? Are you guys going to stone there until we are done or are you going to follow us? If not, wait at the fountain. I don't want to spend our time finding you guys!" Tomoyo shouted.
"Coming." Eriol replied and followed them. Syaoran couldn't help but shrugged and chased up with the group.

They entered the fifteenth shop and to the annoyance of the two guys, Sakura and Tomoyo happily went into the changing room to try out the clothes.
"I wish we went to the fountain and waited for them." Eriol complained
Syaoran just frowned. "With four sisters who loves shopping, I am used to this nonsense. Both of them are not that bad. Long time ago, when we stayed in Sydney, they were always shopping for hours."
"What happened to them now?"
"They are at Hong Kong. They prefer the place there compared to Japan. That's why they are not with us. What a relief though." Syaoran sighed in relief. Not that he was not fond of them, however, their constant worry and nagging at times drove him up the wall.
"Eriol, Syaoran. What you think of this attire that Sakura is wearing?" Tomoyo asked as she dragged Sakura out of the changing room.
Sakura stood there, blushing. This was so not her. The black tube top barely covered her abdomen and the mini skirt with a belt didn't cover half of her thigh. She fidgeted as the two of them evaluated her.
"Not bad." Eriol commented
"But I believe Sakura doesn't really like wearing this, don't you?" Syaoran asked, and Sakura nodded her head in agreement.
"Come on, she looks great." Tomoyo added. She went to Sakura and whispered to her. Sakura sighed and nodded her head and went back to change. Tomoyo immediately confronted the salesgirl to purchase the clothes, demanding for a new set of it.
"Tomoyo, Sakura didn't really look comfortable wearing it." Syaoran protested as he watched her pay for them.
"Trust me. Soon, you will see her wearing it. Mark my words." Tomoyo laughed and turned to them. "So, are you guys bored yet?"
"Extremely." Eriol replied before flinching from the kick that Syaoran gave.
"Not at all. However, I need to go back for dinner soon. How much longer are you going to shop?"
"One more and that's it." Tomoyo said as she gave Sakura her clothes and dragged her to the final destination. Eriol gave him a killer stare and followed.
Tomoyo and Sakura went into the departmental store and immediately went to the toy section. Sakura went and picked one teddy bear out and paid for it. When she was done with the purchase, she slowly walked to Syaoran and gave him the bear.
"This is for you. After five years, I have finally given you a gift. Welcome home. I hope you like it." Sakura said softly. "Promise me that you won't forget me." She gave him a kiss and excused herself and took off.
Syaoran stared at the retreating figure. He couldn't figure out what just happened.
"Hello? Back to earth Syaoran. Don't look star-struck." Eriol said, waving his hand in front of his face.
Tomoyo watched the whole event unfold. 'Remember Sakura's request Syaoran. Don't forget her.'
'What was the kiss about? Sakura, dear Sakura, what is happening to you?' Syaoran wondered as he stared at the teddy bear, that looked almost like the one he gave to Sakura at the airport before leaving Japan.
