That Sunday as Sakura was out shopping for materials for her costume, Salena bumped into her. Salena tucked a strand of golden-brown hair behind her ear. "Salena did you dye your hair?" Sakura asked shifting her bags from one hand to the other.
"Yeah, I was trying for something different. The blonde look wasn't going for me." Salena said as her eyes lit upon the bags Sakura were holding next to her. "Hey is that your costume?" she squealed trying to peer into the brightly colored shopping bags.
Sakura tucked them a little closer to her body.
Sakura tucked them a little closer to her body. "It's a surprise, remember?" she gently reminded Salena.
"Please? Just one little peek? I promise I won't tell, I swear." Salena pleaded, crossing her heart. "May I swallow a thousand needles if I lie."
"Alright, just as long as you won't tell." Sakura told her opening the outside bag just a crack so Salena could peer in.
"Oh, is that cute!" Salena said as she stood back.
Sakura said "I'll see you at school okay?" waving good-bye at each other the young women parted ways.
Later that day Sakura sat in front of the sewing machine pushing a pink silky fabric through the machines needle. Kero fluttered into the room. "Whatcha making?" he asked, coming to look over Sakura's shoulder.
The hum in the room stopped as Sakura halted to add more thread to the appliance. "I'm making my outfit for Madison's party." Sakura replied as she started up the device again.
"Really? Well it looks cool. I thought you were making another bear." Kero said approvingly. He still didn't see the reason why people gave out bears to their loved ones.
"No Kero, not another bear." Sakura laughed pushing the cloth under the needle.
"Keep at it then. I'm going to find some food. Maybe your dad is making something. He always makes good things." Kero said over his shoulder as he flew out of the room. Sakura shook her head in amusement then bent her head back over the costume.
