Chapter 3: Mall Guys and Meeting Rei

At the Mall
"Oh look! Hecht's! We have to go there! They have really cute tops!" Tomoyo said.

Sakura sweat dropped. "Tomoyo-chan we've already been to Dillard's, JCPenney, and Aeropostale." She says while holding up numerous bags stuffed with lots of clothing. "I really don't think we need any more clothes. I need to save up some money for next year's tuition."

"Oh come on, Sakura. We can just take a look at the stuff they have." Tomoyo did a puppy-pout.

Sakura sighed in defeat. "Fine, fine. Just a look." Although she knew that Tomoyo was going to buy lots more clothes anyway.

When they arrived at Hecht's Sakura set down all the bags and started sifting through them. She then realized that she could not find the puppy's toys and food. Sakura started panicking.

"Tomoyo-chan! The things for the puppy are gone, do you have them?" she asked.

"Hmm..I don't have them. Maybe you left them at the pet store?"

"Okay, I'll check there!" Sakura said quickly and dashed off.

The pet store was on the other side of the mall so Sakura had a long walk to it. But she didn't mind it. She was very used to jogging and taking walks often.

Sakura immediately started searching around the store for the bag with items for Rei. A store employee noticed her searching for something and walked up to her.

"Hello miss. Do you need some help locating an item?" The employee said politely.

She stood up and looked at the employee. He was rather handsome. He was very tall and had sort of dirty blonde hair with clear blue eyes. She looked at his nametag. His name was Suzuhara Satoshi. He was smiling at her and she blushed a little.

"Er..yes. I purchased some things for my dog earlier and I think I may have left the bag here. It had a squeaky toy in it and a bag of dog food." She said nervously.

"Oh we have your bag over here by the counter." He walked towards it and Sakura followed. On the counter was a blue bag with the store's logo on it. She looked inside and there was her stuff.

"You ran off so quickly after you bought you must've left it here." He said.

"My friend Tomoyo kept dragging me to every clothes store in this mall. Anyway, thank you so much for helping me find it!" She thanked him and bowed.

"Anything for a beautiful girl like you." He said chivalrously. She blushed and walked out the store and back to Hecht's.

"Tomoyo-chan! It's getting a little late! Let's hurry up and get back to my dorm so I can show you Rei!" Sakura told her.

"Rei?"

"Oh that's what I named the puppy. You like it?"

"Yea, I like that name!" Tomoyo said.

"Okay then, let's go!"

Tomoyo look very disappointed. "Sakura didn't get to try on all these clothes I picked out. I guess we'll just have to take them all and try them on at the dorm." She went to the cashier and bought all the outfits. "Sakura will look so kawaii in these! Ohohoho!"

Sakura sweat dropped and walked with her back to the car.

Back Home
Syaoran had gotten bored with the TV and decided to play around with Sakura's boom box. Listening to all of her pop- ish CDs made him drowsy so he fell asleep.

A few hours later a clicking at the door woke Syaoran up. It sounded like keys. Sakura must be coming home.

He jumped in delight and ran for the door. It opened to a happy Sakura as she saw Syaoran in front of her barking.

"Hey Rei! I'm home! Look! I brought a friend, too! Her name is Tomoyo. Be nice to her, okay?" she told him.

Another pretty girl walked into Sakura's dorm. She had long violet hair that curled at the ends. She had pretty purple eyes that twinkled with joy as she saw the puppy.

Tomoyo bent down on her knees to pet the puppy. "Sakura-chan, he's very kawaii! You're so lucky!" Syaoran played around with her and gave her hand a lick. "Ohhh! I'm so jealous! I wish I could've found a puppy like him!"

"Well you can come visit Rei anytime you want, Tomoyo-chan!" Said Sakura as she was getting some water and food for him.

"Really? Thank you Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said merrily. "I need to get home now but I'll come back some time okay?"

"Sure!"

Tomoyo put all the clothes she had bought for Sakura in her closet and left.

"Oh Rei! I got a toy for you today!" Sakura got it out of the bag and held it up for him. "It's a squeaky ball! Here, try it!" She threw the ball towards him and he caught it in his mouth and squeaked it a couple times. He dropped it and started chasing it. Sakura giggled and petted Syaoran.

"I'm glad you like it."
