chapter three: picture perfect

"Wow… that guy over there sure is strong."
"Not to mention hot… damn, that airhead next to him doesn't even try to help him." With Sakura's magic once again, Syaoran was able to carry an entire mountain of shopping bags.

"Whaddyah say!?" Syaoran didn't take too kindly to Touya when he insulted Sakura, but when total strangers did it—it was on. The girls turned their heads in a huff ("He's probably gay, anyway." –Stupid Bitch #2).
"Ah… Syaoran-kun, let's try to calm down, okay?" Sakura seemed a little nervous, and with the way she smiled so cutely made him wonder how anyone could have the balls to insult her, "The parking lot is just over there anyway."

After dropping off the goods, they made their way back through the mall to meet up with the others when Sakura noticed a rather small (tiny, really) photography shop with an old man standing out front inviting people into his shop. Sadly, most people shook their heads, or pretended to not have heard him. The man took a seat at his stool and wiped his forehead tiredly.

"Aww Syaoran… Is it okay if we make a stop over there?" the way Sakura asked so sweetly melted Syaoran enough to make him putty in her hands. She took him by the sleeve like a child and rushed to the photography shop.

As S&S approached the man, he looked grateful to see them and ushered them into his store, "Ahh… matching clothes… Very good, very good. You like white background? Oh yes… I add special effects- make prettier." The old man smiled at Sakura sweetly while Syaoran raised an eyebrow, "No worry, I think you pretty too."
Sakura couldn't help but laugh at Syaoran's confused look as the man sat them down, "Okay, now you sit here. And she behind you. Yes… yes, is good." The man took a seat behind the camera and looked up, unsatisfied, "Boy, what wrong with you? Smile! Is picture! What good is picture if no smile? Ahh… here…" The man went to them and took Sakura's hands, placing them on Syaoran's right shoulder and had her rest her chin on her hands, and tilted their heads towards each other, "Yes, is very good."
The old man took another picture with Syaoran's arms around Sakura's shoulders, and not surprisingly, Syaoran was blushing in both of them- yet, he was smiling so the photographer's work was done.
After the photo shoot, the old man took them over to the desk to fill out papers for delivery and such, showing them various packages they could get. ¥2500 for package D, ¥4500 for package C, ¥7000 for package B, and ¥10500 for package A.

"Oooo… let's get A so we can share them with everyone!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly, "And then next time, we can bring everyone else here too and then have a group photo!" She left her home address, being as how Syaoran wasn't too keen on going through his mail daily, leaving it in a pile under his bed until the first of every month—then he would read it.
Syaoran pulled out his wallet and handed the man a wad of cash, telling Sakura to save her money until his birthday. (Whoa… Did Syaoran just make a joke? -Sakura)
As they walked out of the shop, the man said something to Syaoran in a language she couldn't understand. Syaoran smiled and he and Sakura continued to walk.
"What'd he say?" Sakura asked innocently.
"Expect it in 4-8 weeks."

what the geeser really said

 While the photographer was sitting him and Sakura, he began to get the eerie feeling that the guy was a pedophile or something. But still, he had to admit that it felt damn good to have Sakura resting on his shoulder like she did. After all was done and Sakura was filling out the forms, he walked around the shop looking at picture on the wall that were taken previously. When he came up to the desk, he realized that Sakura was about to pay.
"Well, Syaoran. Be a man, put aside car accessories for later and think of what she wants first." Syaoran thought to himself, "I gotcha covered. Besides, you should be saving up for my birthday."
As the two walked out of the shop, the old man called out to Syaoran, "Oy! There's plenty of fish in the sea but she's the catch of a lifetime. Lose her and I'll send my grandson after her."

next chapter: getting to know you…

If I don't come up with another chapter by the end of this year then you're all welcome to flame me, threaten me… me-chan you're the only one who has permission to physically attack me as long as it gets me writing. I have a good English teacher this year so hopefully my writing gets better.

About the chapter itself… just a short lil thing… the next chapter will cut right to the first day of school cuz I couldn't think of anything to fill in the gap... i'll tell u tho... a familiar face will reappear and then you will all hate me.
