Sakura finished her ice cream first, "Ok, since I'm here to help you, I think we should work on your social skills, how many friends do you have?"
she asked him, he looked at her, then looked up in thought, "None, I don't think." Sakura sighed, "Well what about Eriol? Isn't he your friend?"
she asked, he looked at her, "How do you know about Eriol?" Sakura smiled and shook her head, "I thought I told you, I knew you were my
assignment for a while, and I was studying you for about a week," she said, Syaoran nodded and watched a pair of kids run by. "Ok, you don't
know if Eriol is your friend?" Sakura asked, Syaoran nodded, "Well, why don't you try being nice to him, why are you always mean to him,
anyways?" she wondered, "I don't know, I guess it's because he's always been the only to try and be noce to me, and I don't understand why,
and it bugs me, he bugs me," Syaoran attempted a good explanation. "Does he really bug you? Don't you think it bugs him that he can't reach
out to you and help?" Sakura asked, Syaoran looked at her, "You really think he wans to be my friend? He wants to help me?" he asked, "As
much as I want to help you," was Sakura's reply. "I think, I wanna head back home, and maybe call Eriol," Syaoran said, Sakura smiled, "Okay,
let's go,"she said and they headed back for the apartment.
When they got to Syaoran's apartment, Sakura decided on roaming through Syaoran's wardrobe while Syaoran called Eriol, though Sakura was
listening to Syaoran's conversation with the blue haired man. "Hey, Eriol? It's Syaoran...yeah I'm fine, you?...Oh, I was wondering if you, if you
wanted to go see a movie or something tomorrow?...Yeah? Ok I'll see you then, see ya," Sakura heard the phone being hung up and floated into
the livingroom. "Ok I've noticed that all you have are suits, so I think we need to go shopping, and soon," Sakura said, Syaoran nodded as he sat
in front of the tv and flicked it on, "Um, so how'd it go?" she asked as she sat beside him and congured two cups of coffee up, "We're going
to see a movie tomorrow," he answered, "Where did you want me to be? Should I come or not?" she asked. "Well, I don't know, shouldn't you
know how to do this?" Syaoran asked, "Well, actually this is my first time, all I've ever done in heaven was sing in the choir, I've only been dead
for a year, you know," Sakura said, Syaoran then knew where he'd heard her name from.
FLASHBACK
"Hey Syaoran, did you hear about the girl who died saving her boyfriend?" Eriol asked him, he shook his head, "No, what about her?" he
asked absentmindedly, "She was my girlfriend's bestfriend, I knew her pretty good too, her name was Sakura Kinemoto (don't know if I
spelled that right)," Eriol said, "Well, she's lucky for being able to leave this damn place."
"I remember hearing about you from Eriol, you died saving your...boyfriend?" Syaoran now felt uncomfortable that the Sakura in front of him
had had a boyfriend, she nodded and he could see tears forming in her eyes. "You must've really loved him," he said, looking back at the tv,
"Well, yeah, but he's alive and I'm dead, and I'm fine with that, I'v moved on, and he's...still working at it," Sakura said, Syaoran looked at her.
"What do you mean?" he asked her, "Well, when you were at your meeting, I went to see if my ex, his name's Dione, was still living in the same
place, and I found out he turned into a mess after I died, but I got through to him and now he's going to move on," Sakura said, Syaoran smiled
at her, "You really are an angel, aren't you?" she nodded, smiling. "And by the way, what IS this?" he gestured at the coffee, "It's Rolo flavoured
coffee, do you like it?" Sakura said, "Yeah, yeah I do, it's different." he smiled as he sipped some more of the coffee. "Ok, so we have to go
shopping before tomorrow, which means today, it's not even dark out, so do you want to go now?" Sakura asked, Syaoran flicked off the tv,
"Sure, let's go," and they took the bus to the mall. Sakura picked out three pairs of baggy blue jeans, two white beaters, two button up t-shirts,
one was a checkered blue, and the other was pure forest green, and a black t-shirt that said 'Your girlfriend thinks I'm hot.' Sakura paid for the
clothes and they headed home, "So, you have to wear, the jeans with the green shirt tomorrow, and your hair looks fine when it's messy, and
remember to play nice with the other kids," Sakura advised, Syaoran smiled a little, "You can be pretty amusing you know." Sakura smiled,
"When the time calls for humor, I can help," they ate a steak with french fries dinner, then went to bed, Syaoran excited about tomorrow, it
was like it was his first day at school instead of going to see a movie with a friend.
