What'd Different on the Other Side

Chapter Nine- Dinner Surprises and Unexpected Calls
Disclaimer: Don't piss me off. I'm kinda pissed, since it's EARLY in the morning (Okay WHY must I wake up so early!! UgGgGhhhh I hate that sometimes I just wake
up and can't sleep.) I have no clue why I do. It's currently 6:22 a.m., and its summer, for cryin' out loud. Oh wells. I figure, if I'm up, I might as well do something
productive with my time. But I DO own George, a minor character introduced in this chapter.
Author's note-
Okay some more reader review replies:
Aznpals- Yep Li always seems to save Sakura, doesn't he? And yes, Tomoyo's creative side is once again unleashed. Who knows what Tomoyo will whip up this time.
Well, enjoy!!! And you'll see!!!
LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- Yay another Inuyasha otaku out there!!! Yah I know I've got to work on length and detail, which is what I'm trying (Keyword: TRYING) to do in
this chappie.
Neko-Yuff16- Yep indeed it seems that Syaoran HAS found himself a little crush or a friend at the very least. More in this chappie!!!
azn anime addict47 and CarDcAptOr922002 and Chihuahuagirl47: aww thanx you guys!!!!! That's terribly sad, to not be able to watch Inuyasha. Don't worry
I feel your pain. I went on a vacation trip in June for a week, and my TiVo forgot to record it. I was INCREDIBALLY pissed as you probably imagine!!!
Lavenda: Aw thanks soooooo much!!
Flightless-I know I make these chappies to short and undetailed. BUT, since it IS early in the morning here, and I have nothing else better to do with my life, here
I am here, writing a chapter LONGER and MORE DETAILED than normal!!!! And I'll bet that most of you readers are still asleep, so you don't have to wait!!
Well thanx again guys, you give me "warm fuzzies" inside and motivate me to continue. Enjoy!!!
Ring.....ring.....ring....
Sakura was calling Tomoyo to tell her of the eventful day she had and the good news.
Wow.
She still couldn't believe that she had a dinner date with THE most popular guy in school.
And that he had saved her THREE TIMES, all in one day, nonetheless.
'Ugghhh. PICK UP ALREADY, TOMOYO!!!' Sakura thought.
As if her thoughts had been answered, Tomoyo picked up.
"Moshi moshi, Daidouji residence. Tomoyo speaking.
"Hey Tomoyo, it's me Sakura".
"Oh hey Sakura!!! How did your day go?"
"Well, to sum it up, Detention, Mutilated Yumi, Fired, Nearly Raped, Saved By The Syaoran Li, And Invited Him For Dinner Tomorrow Night.
"WoOoW. Sounds like you've been, ah, popular?"
"Nah, I just get around a lot."
"Well come on over Sakura!! It's already 7:45, but I can whip you up an outfit in minutes!!!"
Sakura was shocked.
"How did you know I needed and outfit for tonight?"
"I have my ways Sakura, I have my ways," she said, smiling very evilly might I add.
"Kay I'll be over in ten!"
Sakura hung up the phone, grabbed her purse/wallet, and raced downstairs.
"Not so fast, kaijuu, where do you think your going this time of day?" her Oni-chan, Toya, asked.
"Well, Tomoyo wanted to show me something she made, I'M NOT
A MONSTER, do you know where daddy is?"
"He's had to go to the university for a bit, someone needed him. He said he'd be back around 10:30."
"Well, I'll be at Tomoyo's till about 10 or so, so don't get worried!!!"
"Later, monster."
"I'M NOT A MONSTER!!!" she said, stomping on his foot one more time before leaving.
She strapped on her roller-blades and skated to Tomoyo's grand mansion in a matter of minutes.
The size of the house never ceased to amaze her.
It was absolutely gorgeous, though, for a mid October, all the colours and such.
The gardens were full of beautiful fall flowers, and the sunset in the background added
even more beauty to the Daidouji residence.
Tomoyo was soooo lucky and rich, though she never showed it.
They had been friends since third grade.
Ah, the good old days.
Sakura knocked on the grand door, and a butler answered.
"Hello Sakura, here to see Tomoyo?" George the butler asked.
"Hai, I am."
"She's up in her room, you know where it is. I'll take your coat and rollerblades, ma'am."
"Arigatou, George."
She walked up the grand staircase, and turned left.
Tomoyo's door was the seventh door to the right.
She knocked on the large, double door.
"Hai, come in."
Sakura went in.
Tomoyo's room was very grand, full of beautiful things of all sorts.
She had a king-sized bed and canopy, with real silk sheets and the softest mattress ever.
There was an enormous big screen t.v., VCR, DVD, LD, and several game systems.
Enormous book shelves held books, CDs, DVDs, LDs, videos, game cartridges, her
journals, sketchbooks, and more.
There was an enormous dresser, and her closet was bigger than the Kinomoto
whole living room!!!
She had a big balcony out looking the even bigger backyard, complete with
gardens, labyrinth, Olymic-sized pool with slide and diving board, gazebo,
many water fountains, and so much more.
And of course, she had a big bathroom with a Jacuzzi inside, and double sinks!
Tomoyo was sure one lucky 15 year-old.
"Great to see you, Sakura!"
"You too, Tomoyo!"
"Well, sit down, and I'll show you some sketches I have".
"Let's see, I really like that one very much so!!" Sakura said, pointing to a sketch of a pink miniskirt, and a lovely white peasant top with a cherry blossom on it.
"Oooh, perfect, and I have some platform shoes that will go amazing with it!!!"
"How long will it take for you to make it?" Sakura asked.
"Only about 20 minutes or so, since I already have all your measurements. I could even throw in some lingerie, if you'd like. You know, satin bras, leather corsets, beaded thongs, the rage."
"TOMOYO!!!!!!!" Sakura said, yelling. "NO WAY."
"I was only kidding!!!" Tomoyo said, ducking from Sakura's flying fist.
"Okay well I'll get to it!!! You can just sit here and watch T.V. while you wait," she said, going off to her sewing room.
Sakura turned on the T.V., and watched a very interesting episode of Trading Spaces Tokyo Edition.
-20 Minutes later-
Tomoyo emerged from the sewing room with a bag in her hand.
"Look inside!! I think you'll be verrrrrry pleased!!!" she said, handing sakura the brown paper bag.
"Wow..." Sakura said, with shock and amazement.
"Try it on!!!" Tomoyo said.
Sakura went to Tomoyo's dressing room to try it on.
Minutes later, Sakura emerged.
"Oh, Sakura, you look so kawaii!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed, proud of her creation.
"D...Do you really think so?" she asked, twirling around.
"Hai!!!!! It's sugoi!!!"
Sakura looked in the mirror.
She was wearing a white cashmere, very soft peasant top with the beautiful cherry blossom on the front, and it had small pink seed beads on it.
The skirt was halfway to her knees, and had a small slit on the side. I
It was satin, and pink and very silky.
"This will surprise Syaoran, ne?" Sakura asked.
"He would have to be really stupid to not be!!"
"Now, look deeper in the bag", Tomoyo said.
Sakura looked.
Inside had a pink satin scrunchie, made from the material the skirt was, and pink cherry-blossom print hair chopsticks, pink eyes shadow, and pink lip gloss.
"Arigatou goziamasu, Tomoyo-chan!!!" Sakura said, obviously happy.
"Any time, Sakura!!!"
"Okay, I have to go now, but I'll see you in class tomorrow Tomoyo."
"Okay, Ja ne!!!"
"Sayonara!!!"
Sakura took her roller blades and coat from George, waved goodbye to him, and rollerbladed home happily, paper bag in hand.
Tomoyo watched Sakura out of her window.
All of a sudden, her phone rang.........
Well how was that? I tried to make it longer and more detailed this time, I hope I didn't disappoint you guys!! Ja ne!! Luve, melaniemelmelgirl
