Disclaimer: Get off of my back…………………………….do you really think if I owned Cardcaptor Sakura, I would REALLY be sitting here writing fanfiction for free? Nooooooooooo……………………durr, it belongs to CLAMP. End of story. Yeah…that too.
Author's note: Yesssssssssssss I feel like writing again! I'm so proud of myself –cries-. So far, I haven't received any negative feedback about Yumi being expelled, so I'm realllllllllllllllllly happy………..and the fact that I got 5 reviews since last night:D –hugs everyone who reviews- A year ago, I never would have thought that people would read my fanfics. Now, it's like, yayyyyyyyyyyy I luve this writing thing. Hehe, I decided to write review replies once again:
Pinaygrrl- Thanks for your review!
Neko-Yuff 16- I luve you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! I hope you get well soon……..AND UPDATE YOUR FICS! They have good potential………………………………….:D you're sooo kewel!
Luvable-Cutie: I miss ya tash………I finally have msn messenger on my computer again, why don't you ever come on? -cries- oh well…….:(
Lil wolf lover- Ooooh you you're going to be 14, eh? Happy birthday! 14 is pretty cool I tell ya, pretty cool! One of the best years of my life, actually. Thanks for your review and your birthday wish:D
Sieg1308- Thanks! I'm glad you think I'm doing a good job! I'm updating, see?
Cherryxxblossom: Yeah the whole Farenheit/Celcuis thing has me confused too……Um, nope I have to pay for the trip to germany myself, no scholarship is involved. The school and the foreign exchange program pays for the costs of living in germany, but I gotta pay for the airline ticket and my food and stuff myself. It's not like I'm actually getting graded or have to do work at the school in germany, it's like a trip to get to see what the school there is like. And I get to tour germany as well with my group, so It'll be fun! Yes I'll write about it after I get back. Hopefully I'll be done with this fic by then……..hehe. My goal for this fic is 150 reviews, hm…care to make it possible:D
Welllllllllllllllllllll that's all for now, enjoyyyyy!
Chapter 21- A Lunch Out
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It was going to be an interesting evening in so many ways, Sakura could feel it, and all because………………..
Because Sakura started her job at the Tomoeda movie theatre tonight!
She started her first shift at 3:00 p.m., so right after school ended at 2:30, she had to hurry up and roller blade over towards her new workplace!
Since it was her fist day, she only worked until 6:00, and it was really just a basic introduction on how to work the popcorn and soda machines, cash register etc.
Sakura could not wait, she could really use some extra moolah, as she was rather…BROKE right now. Pfft, who know that those stupid new wheels for her roller blades would be so COSTLY? Oh well….
Sakura put her arm around Syaoran and announced. "This is going to be one of the best days I've had lately! YUMI was expelled, I get a free lunch with my bestest best friend and super cool boyfriend, and on top of that, I start work at the theatre tonight:
"Wow, that's right, are you nervous?" Syaoran asked.
"Kinda, but I'm realllllly looking forward to the money! And Chiharu works there too, so it should be really interesting!" She replied.
"Huh? Isn't Chiharu still 13?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah, but they really need workers, so they hired Chiharu. But her birthday is next month anyway, so it really doesn't matter." Sakura told the two.
"Wow. How long has she worked there?" Syaoran asked.
"Just a month. But she knows a lot already, so she's going to help me figure out the register and popcorn machines and stuff."
"What kind of work will you be doing there?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well, they'll probably start me out easy, like have me collect tickets or clean the restrooms and theatres, but eventually I'll do things like work the cotton candy, popcorn, soda, and nacho machines, plus use the register to sell stuff, maybe work in the box office, or put movie rentals back on the shelf." She exclaimed, getting pretty excited about work.
"Wow, I'm really glad that you get to try such an experience!" Syaoran said.
"Me too! It'll really give me an inside look of the working world, AND I'll save up some moolah for the summer. I plan to do a lot of fun stuff with my money!" She said, smiling very evily. "But hey, where are we going for lunch?" She asked, in wonder.
"How about to the food court at the mall? They've got a lot of variety there, and it's pretty cheap too", Tomoyo suggested.
"Good idea! Let's go there then!" Syaoran and Sakura agreed in unison, of course.
The mall, being the mall that it is, was packed, full of people who were ditching class to play at the arcade or see a movie (at the theatre where Sakura will work!), or just to have lunch with a loved one.
"Hmm, what do you guys want? I only have a $5 dollar budget for each person, because I went out for breakfast with you guys…" Syaoran stated.
"Hmm…I want some food from Hardee's" Tomoyo said.
"I'd like to get some moo goo gai pan from the Chinese place over there" Sakura said.
"And I wanna get a soft pretzel and juice from Aunt Annie's over there" Syaoran said. "Here, just take this money and get what you want. Let's meet back at this table here when you've got what you want."
Tomoyo grabbed her money from Syaoran and thanked him graciously with a smile.
However, Sakura gave him a quick peck on the lips and a hug, and simply said "Thanks".
Syaoran smiled a goofy grin on his face, watching his love watch off, until he snapped out of it and walked over to the long line at Aunt Annie's.
(he, I love their almond pretzels……..SO GOOD O.O I love 'em..!)
After they all got their desired food, they sat down at a booth and chatted about the upcoming play.
"So, are you REALLY making all of the costumes for the play?" Syaoran asked.
Tomoyo nodded.
"EVERY ONE OF THEM? ALL 43?" He asked, amazed.
"Yup! So far I have 21 of them complete! Still got a lot more to do….but on a good day, I average 3 costumes".
"How the heck can you make three costumes a day?" he asked, stunned.
"I have my ways Syaoran, I have my ways" she stated, rather EVILLY.
Sakura and Syaoran both sweatdropped.
Yeah, they should be used to it by now, I mean, Tomoyo and Eriol have been dating for a year now, but they still got creeped out whenever Tomoyo gave one of Eriol's signature evil looks/ways of talking. I mean, wouldn't YOU? Yeesh, I get creeped out by writing this damn fic…..yeah…back to the story? Uhhuh.
(FREAKING YEAH! This is like my longest chapter yet….like 1175 words, according to Microsoft Word! Ohoh yeah)
"CRAP! School starts in like, 2 MINNUTES!" Sakura said by breaking the moment, looking at the clock on the wall of the mall (hehe it rhymes).
"EEEK! We've got that Writing test too today! We can't miss it, it's worth 10 of our 3rd quarter grade!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!" the three exclaimed in unison.
They ran as fast as there little 8th grade legs could carry them.
Ironically enough, they did make it on time.
Turns out, Sakura read the clock wrong, and they made it back 15 MINNUTES EARLY.
Tomoyo and Syaoran looked at Sakura out of breath, but not any less menacingly.
"SAKURA. RUN FOR YOU LIFE!" Tomoyo shouted.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sakura screamed and ran across the school parking lot as Syaoran and Tomoyo chased after her, shaking their fists angrily.
Sakura was right……it WAS an eventful afternoon. And guess what? It was only going to get more evenfuler yet……yeah.
Coming up next chapter- Sakura's first shift at work! Stay tuned for the next eventful, exciting chapter of Shattered Dreams, coming soon on a computer screen near YOU! Made possible in part by reviews from readers like YOU! Thanks guys!
