A/N: Sorry for the long wait! I've been gone from my house since Friday and I couldn't find a single computer to update on. It was really sad. Anyway, here's the next chapter of HSP and I hope you like it!
This chapter is dedicated to AJ, who begged for it to be.
Disclaimer:I do not own Card Captor Sakura. The only thing I own is my new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince book! Oh, and I own the plot!

Sakura looked questioningly at her friends. "Are you serious? You actually think I'm going to wear something like this on my first date with Syaoran? You've got to be kidding me!" Sakura eyed her outfit and gulped.
She was wearing an electric pink mini-skirt and a ruby red tube top.
Tomoyo sighed and looked at the other girls. "I think Saku-chan is right. That mini-skirt does not go with that top!" She poked the fabric of the top for effect.
Sakura sweat-dropped. "No! It's not the color! It's the length! The shirt is small enough to be a bracelet! And the tube top is way too revealing! I am not going out looking like this!" Sakura put her hands on her hips and gave her friends the evil eye.
Kita sighed and held up a white halter top and denim jeans. "This better?"
Sakura looked at the outfit and her face brightened. "That's better!" She went into the fitting rooms to change.
Chiharu and Tomoyo turned around to glare at Kita. There was complete silence until Chiharu spoke. "That outfit is so plain! Syaoran is not going to like it!"
"Chi-chi's right! Syaoran will not approve of her attire!" Tomoyo raised a finger to the ceiling for full affect.
At once, Chiharu and Kita turned to her. "Chi-chi?"
Kita grinned. "Attire?"
Tomoyo shrugged. "Just go with me here!"
Sakura sighed. It was her date and she could wear whatever she wanted. Why are Chiharu, Tomoyo, and Kita acting like it's a big deal? Sakura cleared her head and sighed once more. She glanced at her reflection and grinned. The white top hugged her in the right places and made her look thinner than she already was. The jeans looked the same, but it was cute with the top, so she didn't pay any attention to it. She looked at the curtain and pushed it back, revealing her outfit and herself, to the whole department store.
Tomoyo heard the curtain open and she turned around. There stood Sakura in all her glory.
The others took one looked and gasped.
Kita grinned. "Hot! Buy it!"
Tomoyo and Chiharu looked at each other and back at Sakura. They spotted a sales clerk walking towards them and at the same time, they both yelled out, "We'll take it!"
+oOo+
Syaoran stood in front of the stove and scratched his head. He picked up the pot and poured its contents into a bowl. "Ah. Nothing like a nice bowl of Ramen to make you feel better."
He sat in front of his bowl, thinking about his earlier actions. A date with Sakura? Yeah, I had feelings for her...but that was in 5th grade! Now we're more like friends...but I asked her out on a real date. What's this supposed to mean? Did I do right? Should I cancel the date?
And so we leave Syaoran alone with his Ramen and his thoughts.
+oOo+
Momo glared at her alarm clock. It was 7:30 in the morning and that "damn" alarm had woken her up with its annoying Sailor Moon Theme Song.
"Time to wake up!" The Sailor Moon alarm clock smiled at her while it played the Theme Song all over again.
Momo pushed her blankets back and stood up shakily. She picked up her alarm clock and heaved it at the wall. It broke into tiny little pieces and it played the song no more. She looked down at the pieces and frowned. "Shit, I gotta buy a new alarm clock."
She sighed and turned around to her door. She opened it and went to the bathroom. She washed her face, brushed her teeth, combed her hair, but didn't take a shower. "I'll take a bath later..."
She stumbled back to her room and opened her closet. She pulled out a uniform and put it on. She walked to her vanity mirror and did her dirty-blonde hair. She tied it up in a simple pony-tail. Somehow, she felt that she had lost her spunk as she grew up.
With a sigh, she stood up and walked out the door, heading for the high school.
+oOo+
Sakura grinned at Syaoran as she entered Advanced Calculus. She took a seat next to a girl she didn't know. Eriol nodded at her and continued to listen to music on his CD player, oblivious to what was going on around him.
The bell rang and she immediately faced the teacher.
"Hello, class. I think we have a new student today." The old teacher scratched his head in confusion. There was a sudden knock at the door and the whole class turned excitedly to see who it was. Suddenly, the principal, a middle aged woman with a mole on her chin, marched into the classroom followed by a tall tanned girl with dirty-blonde hair and glittering blue eyes.
Sakura gasped. This girl looked familiar to her, she looked a lot like, "This is Okanawa Moma." The principal announced loudly.
There was a pause and then the girl cleared her throat. "It's Okhawa Momo."
Everyone who remembered her from a long time ago gasped. Behind her, Derek laughed. He leaned into Sakura close enough to whisper into her ear. "She's pretty hot, huh?"
Sakura was about to respond when the principal glared at her. "Ms. Kinameto, since you are so eager to talk, you may show Ms. Ohkana around the school now!"
Momo cleared her throat again. "It's Okhawa!"
"Yes, yes." The principal beckoned to Sakura who stood up slowly. She walked to the front of the room and frowned at Momo. "Ms. Okanawa, this is Ms. Kinamito."
Sakura sighed. On her first day, she had learned to not correct the principal because no matter how many times you tell her your real name, she'll always end up calling you by the wrong one.
Momo grinned at Sakura. "We've met."
"Good! Then you should have no problem in getting to know each other!" The principal gave the teacher a small smile and marched the two girls out of the room.
Syaoran gulped. "This is not good."
+oOo+
Sakura glared at Momo after the principal left. "Okhawa."
"Kinomoto."
Sakura frowned. "So, you're back."
Momo grinned. "I think we can all see that I'm back. I mean, I'm not stupid."
Sakura shook her head. "I almost didn't recognized you, with your messy, simple, hair-do. Oh, and the fact that you changed your hair color." She grinned slightly and flipped her auburn hair back in a very Momo-like manner.
"I just thought it was time for a change. But I wouldn't be talking. I see that you grew your hair. It looks nice..." She grinned and took one of Sakura's long locks into her hands. "But what's this? Split ends?" She grinned at Sakura and took a step back, letting go of the hair.
"Whatever." Sakura growled and looked at her hair. She had no split ends at all. "Liar."
Momo pouted. "Liar? But...weren't you supposed to show me around the campus?" She grinned.
Sakura frowned. "Whatever."
"What a little bitch. You think you're better than me, Sakura? Think again!" Momo smiled as she followed after Sakura.
"I know I'm better than you." Sakura answered, not looking back.
Momo gasped. "You can speak English?" Apparently, Momo was aghast.
"No. What language am I speaking, huh?" Sakura rolled her eyes and pointed to a large door with a 'training' sign on the doorknob. "This is the Gym. When the sign that says Training is up, you can't go inside." Sakura then abruptly turned and started walking once more. "Oh, and don't go into the blue door. It's the boys' locker room." Momo did not hear her at all.
Momo turned and it took her a while to figure out that Sakura was no longer standing right next to her. She frantically looked around and ran towards a blue door. She grasped the doorknob and pulled it open. She then ran inside.
"Ah! Girl alert!" A short plump boy stood in front of her, blushing as he held on tightly to his towel.
Momo stifled a scream and covered her eyes. An extremely fat kid about twelve inches taller than her walked out from behind a locker door and glowered at her. "Are you the new kid? I think your locker is back there." He pointed towards the far back of the room.
Momo frowned and put her hands on her hips, her eyes still closed. "Do you think I look like a guy?"
The boy grunted and pulled out a pair of glasses from the locker. He then turned to Momo. With a gasp, he screamed like a little girl. "Oh no! It's a girl! She's stalking me! Save me!" He pointed at her.
Momo gasped and ran out of the room, hearing the occasional catcall and wolf-whistle. She opened the door and ran out, gasping for air all the same. She looked up to the sound of laughter.
"I see you found the boys' locker room." Sakura stood a few steps away from her, a satisfied grin on her face.
At first, Momo was speechless. "A—" She faltered and cleared her throat. "Whatever." She frowned and crossed her arms. "Are you gonna show me around or what?"
Sakura laughed and gestured for Momo to follow her.
+oOo+
Chiharu and Tomoyo sat eagerly in their seats for their last period to begin. They grinned at their favorite teacher and stifled a laugh as she came in, balancing a coffee cup in one hand and files and papers in the other.
"Hello class. We have a new student here with us this school year." She set everything down and made sweeping movements to open the door.
The door opened and in the doorway stood Momo Okhawa.
"This, class, is Okhawa Momo. She flew in from the States a few days ago. Please welcome her with open arms."
At once, Tomoyo and Chiharu fell off their seats in shock. A girl stood up and looked down at them. She looked worriedly at the teacher. "Uh, they aren't moving!"
+oOo+
Tomoyo and Sakura were walking with Syaoran in the hallways filled with noisy students eager to talk with their friends or to get home. Tomoyo sighed. "I can't believe she's back."
Sakura smiled. "It's okay. We'll only have to put with her for a little bit."
"Yeah, but she's evil." Tomoyo glowered a younger student who shrank back in fear.
Sakura was about to answer, but a deep male voice interrupted her. "Sakura!" She turned around and frowned. It was Derek. He grinned at her and caught up with them. "Why didn't you tell me that you're going out with Li?"
Syaoran turned on him and glared. "Is that an inconvenience?"
Derek grinned at him. "Well, yeah. I hate to break this to you, pal, but Sakura is my girlfriend."
Syaoran shook his head at continued trying to murder Derek with his stare. "What? That's not true. Sakura is still currently single and always had been! And besides, compared to me, you're chopped liver."
This simple remark seemed to make Derek really angry. "Say that again."
Syaoran grinned. "Compared to me, you're chopped liver."
Derek's fists shook. "You want to take this outside?"
Syaoran put his hand to his chin in mock thought. "Let's."
Sakura sighed. "Guys, stop being so damn immature!" The moving crowd that was chanting, "Fight, fight, fight", ignored her.
+oOo+
The two boys stood in front of each other, both breathing heavily. Syaoran stood straight while Derek was slightly slumped. The latter grinned and aimed a punch at Syaoran's stomach. It was evaded easily.
"Oh come on, Flores! Is that the best you can do?" Syaoran frowned at how irregular the words sounded on his tongue. He then floored Derek with a sharp right.
Sakura frowned. Although she disapproved of this sort of behavior (though they didn't get caught), she kind of liked the feeling of having two boys fight over her. "Derek, Derek, get up." She nudged him with his foot. He didn't move. She glanced at Syaoran. "He's not moving."
Tomoyo bent down and looked at him. "He's out cold." She grinned at Syaoran. "Damn, Li! How sharp was that right?"
Syaoran grinned and blushed.
"What's going on?" A scarily familiar voice silenced Eriol, Rika, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Sakura. They all turned and saw Momo standing there with a nosy look about her face.
She saw Syaoran and Eriol looking three times hotter than she saw them last and gave an excited squeal. "Li-kun! Eriol!" She ran to them and hugged them both, much to the enjoyment of the speculating crowd.
Syaoran pretended to not know her. Eriol, on the other hand, didn't remember her at all. "Huh? Who are you?"
That small question seemed to paralyze her. "Y-you don't remember me?"
Eriol shook his head, obviously confused. "I'm sorry, but no."
Momo plastered a grin to her face. "It's me! Momo!"
At this, Eriol fainted.
Momo smirked at Tomoyo. "See how much your boyfriend loves me?"
Tomoyo blushed. "He's not my boyfriend!"
Momo brushed it away with a blink of her eyelashes and grinned at her. She took a sudden glance at Derek who lay still two feet away from her. "What's up with that guy?" She crawled over to him. "Eew! He's bleeding! But, he's kinda hot!"
Sakura, Tomoyo, and Rika exchanged looks. Typical Momo.

A/N: Yeah, that was a short chapter compared to the other ones, huh? Now, those of you who are wondering where Kero-chan is, I have totally bad news for you. I took him and everything magic out of the story. Don't worry. It will all be explained in later chapters. I promise!
And I know this was a strange chapter, but I liked it! Derek got beat up by Syaoran! Yay! He's like the male version of Momo. So I hate him too.
Anyway, I have to go dance with a lobster! Bye!
Love,
Miss Kay-chan
