"PHWEE!"
Touya jumped out the way as a spiral eyed auburn haired girl came streaking past him. "Yo, what's the rush squirt?"
"I'm late! I'm supposed to meet up at the mall with Tomoyo-chan! ohhh!!!!" Sakura whined as she got on her skates. "She's gonna be really pissed off.
#However#
"Oh crap! I'm super late! I'm supposed to be meeting with Sakura-san at the mall to hang out! She's really gonna be furious now!" She hopped on her limousine and barked, "Drive!" And off they went.
#Other side of the story#
Sakura zoomed past people, startling them. She was screaming, "Watch out!", or, "Sorry!", and, "Excuse me!"
"Yo! You little weasle! Come back here!" A man at a stall screamed up at her as she accidentally knocked down some of his apples. Sakura had secretly took one, knowing that she hadn't eaten anything. "I'm soooo sorry mister!" she called, then went off.
She dodged past trees, circled past shocked people and almost knocked a woman down who was carrying her shopping bags in one hand, and her child in the other.
"What the f-!"
"SORRY!"

Sakura banged the entrance door open, and toppled down the floor from exhaustion. Concerned people helped her up.
"Are you okay miss?"
"Woah, you don't look so good."
"I- I'm f-fine," Sakura said, through hard deep breaths. She slowly got up, and took her shoes from her bag, and took off her skates to replace them. When the last person departed, she looked up, and searched for Tomoyo.

Before the limo could come to a complete stop, Tomoyo had already went flying past the door towards the mall. Her bodygaurd stared after her with a solemn expression, all with sweatdrops on their head. Then, she called after them, "Be back at five-thirty!" They all nodded at the same time and drove off.
Tomoyo flung the door open and came crashing with a girl. "HOLY SHIT! I'm so sorry! Are you o- Sakura-chan!"
Sakura, who had fallen on the ground looked up at the startled face of her best friend, and then lowered hers. "I thought I was late!"
Tomoyo giggled, and helped her up. "Now that we're here, let's go!" She took her arm and they walked arm-in-arm around the mall.
# Things they did on the mall#
11:00- 11:30- They went to the arcades. Sakura challenged Tomoyo in the Dancing Game (The one with all the arrows-?), and TOmoyo won, leaving Sakura very breathless.
11:30- 12:00- They went out to eat and had chinese food, like chicken legs, sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, noodles filled with barbeque sauce (mmm, barbeque), spring rolls, and other things they liked to try. Though they didn't like the one that was kind of chewy and spit it out when they found out it was a shrimp's eye. They keep dabbing their tounges with a wet napkin. People stared curiously at them all with sweatdrops on their head.
12:00- 1:00- They went shopping in different kinds of stores, and when they were done, Tomoyo had four very heavy, very big, shopping bags. Sakura only had one, and was dotty eyed when she saw her friend's.
1:00-1:30- Thy rest for a bit in a nearby bench and almost doze off if Sakura hadn't toppled off the chair.
1:30- 2:30- They watched 'The exorcist' and was very white when they went out the theatre, Tomoyo's sunglasses, askew.
2:30- 3:00- They went to the bookstore to read a little, and went out with two bags on their hands. Tomoyo had bought an advanced designer's guide to being succesful. It was an eight hundred pages minimum. Sakura had bought herself a new series of manga comics, and got pissed off when she also bought the hentai one.
3:00- 4:00- They shopped some more, and went out with Sakura helping Tomoyo carry two extra big bags.
#Finally, it was over#
"PHEW! I cannot believe how much you spend on these clothes!" Sakura drawled, not able to move her lips properly because of exhaustion.
"We have to be fashionable Sakura!" Tomoyo replied, sinking on the bench, almost tripping other people walking by.
"So, uhm..what're we gonna do until your limo arrives?" Skura groaned as she shifted position.
Tomoyo thought for a minute and got a perfect topic to discuss. "Actually, I want to tell you something."
Sakura looked at her friend with a bleary eye, closed them, and muttered, "Go on."
"I want to talk about Li- kun!"
Sakura sat up so suddenly, Tomoyo leaped in surprise.
"What about Syaoran?"
Tomoyo looked down on the floor, and mumbled, "How do you feel about him?"
Sakura stopped for a minute, then stared up. "I love him as a friend..."
"Is that all?" Sakura looked at her best friend, shock.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, is that all you feel about Syao- Syao?" Tomoyo asked, not daring to look at Sakura's curious expression.
"Of course it is!" Sakura replied.
"Is it?" Tomoyo challenged.
Sakura openned her mouth to reply, stopped, thought for a minute, then closed it shut. She was thoughtful for a minute. Tomoyo stared at her friend with an emotionless expression. Finally, Sakura replied, "I don't know..."
Tomoyo looked down on the floor. "I thought so..."
Sakura shooked her head sharply. "No! I can't do that!"
"What?"
Sakura was blushing deep red. "It's not possible! I don't want it to happen!"
"Sakura, what are you talking about?" Tomoyo asked staring at her friend.
"I can't do that to Yushi!"
Tomoyo fell on the floor anime style. "But Sakura! He's d-"
"I know he is Tomoyo, what do you think I am? Some kind of stupid?" Sakura snapped. Tomoyo looked taken aback, and Sakura closed her mouth, just realizing what she was doing. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that..."
Tomoyo gave her a reassuring smile. "That's okay. I know it's still hard for you, Sakura-san. Everyone's trying their best to act as if nothing happened. As if that day...never occur-"
"How can I? It was my birthday! It was supposed to be a happy day TOmoyo-chan," Sakura mumbled, tears threatening to come out. "And that was the day he d-di-die-died...."
Tomoyo looked sad. "Everyone never expected it to happen Sakky..."
Sakura shooked her head sadly. "Why don't we continue on discussing about Li-kun, now shall we? Cause I don't think I'm comfortable enough on talking about Yushi here."
"You have to choose Sakura. We don't want you to be sad," Tomoyo insisted. "You can't grasp the past forever. It'll just slip away and when that time comes...everything you have will be lost...forever. You have to face it. It's not as if you're gonna forget Yushi forev-"
"You don't know how it feels Tomoyo, you don't know how it feels to lose someone that's been close to you since forever... Forgetting about him is the one thing I can't do... because it'll be too painful," Sakura cut off.
"I know it'll be painful, everyone's experienced it, not just you Sakura, we all experienced it," Tomoyo said. "You're the only one who can choose which path you're taking. The path where everyone will be by your side...especially Li, or the path where the past is still lingering, where you can't let go of someone who's already dead," Tomoyo said. Then she stood up when she checked her watch for the time. "I'd better go. Can I take you home?"
Sakura looked down and shooked her head. She also stood up and smiled reassuringly at Tomoyo. "That's okay, I'm fine."
Tomoyo nodded and walked off.

Yukito put the bowl he was carrying that was filled with chocolate cake ingredient, and looked up the ceiling. "Hadn't Sakura been up in her room since she came back from the mall?"
"Yeah, I wonder what's wrong," Touya muttered also looking up.
Sakura was lying on her bed, face down. She kept thinking of what Tomoyo was saying.
I don't want to forget about Yushi.. but everytime I look at Li's face, his own disappears...
I don't want to let go of Li... but this feeling I have right now is different from the one I'm feeling of Yushi.
She stood up, and finally made a decision. She grabbed the phone, dialled, and waited for an answer. There was a moment's silence, then Sakura smiled sadly, and said, "Hey, do you wanna hang out with me tomorrow? Not like a date...I wanna talk to you about something..."
