It was a sunny day at Tomoeda and Sakura was still sleeping when suddenly her alarm clock started beeping. She hit her alarm clock so it could stop beeping. She got up and stretched and walked to the bathroom to brush her hair and teeth.
When she got dressed, she got her school bag and went downstairs to the kitchen. "Ohayo otou-san,onii-chan!" she greeted in her cheery voice. And she walked towards her mother's picture and whispered "Ohayo okaa-san."
"Look like monster is in a good mood this morning…" Touya insulted. "Hai…I'm in a good mo-…I AM NOT A MONSTER!!" Sakura shouted at her older brother slightly annoyed." Good Morning, Sakura-chan" her father replied to her greeting.
But Sakura did not hear her father's reply because she was busy arguing with her older brother. "Alright you two quit." Fujitaka let out a small laugh at the siblings argument but he was use to it since it happens almost every morning.
When Sakura finished her breakfast, she bid goodbye to her father and brother but to her brother she poked her tongue out towards her brother. Touya rolled his eyes.

At Li Residence
Syaoran woke up at 7:30. He walked to his mirror and saw that the bruise Sakura had accidentally gave him the day before is still a dark purplish colour. He heaved a sigh and got ready for school.
As he walked down the staircase of his apartment that he shares with his guardian Wei, he could smell fried eggs and rice. When he entered the kitchen " Good Morning Wei, fried eggs and rice today?" he questioned.
"Good Morning Master Syaoran, as always you have a keen sense of smell." Wei replied with a smile. Syaoran sat at his dining table and Wei walked over and placed a bowl of rice, plate of eggs with some salad and a glass of orange juice. Syaoran had realised that he will be late to school and quickly gobbled his breakfast careful not to choke himself and bid goodbye to his guardian and was out the door before Wei could reply.

At the shoe lockers
Sakura was sitting on a bench putting her white school shoes on when Syaoran came in. "Ohayo Syaoran-kun!" Sakura said in her cheery voice. Syaoran was walking in and was staring at the ground and heard her cheery voice and looked up.
"Ohayo Kinomoto-san…" Sakura frowned at something, Syaoran was about to question her expression when she said "How many times do I have to tell you? It is S-A-K-U-R-A."
"Oops…gomen…." Syaoran whispered. "It's okays, you just got to get use to it." Sakura giggled "Anyways, we have to hurry to class because homeroom is going to start in 10 minutes!"
They ran to their homeroom and got there 2 minutes before homeroom started. "Yes…we made it in time…" Sakura tried to say while panting. " Yeah…I know…" Syaoran panted.
Tomoyo turned around and saw the two at the door panting. She giggled "Ohayo Sakura and Li-kun, did I miss out on something here?" Tomoyo grinned. Sakura flushed and so did Syaoran "Nope…we met at the shoe lockers and ran over here before homeroom started…" Syaoran just nodded while having his bangs cover his blush.
Then Mr Terada came in "Alright everyone, take your seats because I'm going to take the roll now" Everyone took their respective seats and answered Mr Terada when he called their names. After he had marked the roll, they started their history class.

At Lunch
Sakura and her friends were sitting under their favourite cherry blossom tree. They were talking and eating their lunches. When suddenly Rika brought up the subject about the festival coming up that weekend " Ne, is anyone going to the Spring Nadeshiko Festival this weekend?"
"Err…I'm not sure…because I don't have anyone to go with…" Sakura said quietly but loud enough for her friends to hear. "Aww… I wish I could go with you but I got piano lessons…" Chiharu informed Sakura.
"Yeah, and I got ballet practice to go as well…gomen ne Sakura-chan…" Rika apologetically answered. "I wish I could go with you as well but I got tutoring…I really wish I could skip it and go with you to the festival" Naoko heaved a sigh.
Sakura turned to look at Tomoyo. "What about you Tomoyo?" Tomoyo looked up from her lunch. "I'm going with Eriol but you can come with us if you want!" Tomoyo happily offered but Sakura refused immediately "No no Tomoyo, I don't want to come along with you and Eriol and interrupt your date to the festival." She knew that she would be interrupting her best friend and her boyfriend's little date if she came along with them.
"Oh gosh no Sakura! You wouldn't be interrupting ANYTHING!" Tomoyo exclaimed. Sakura shook her head " It's okays Tomoyo, I got chores on that day so I will be kinda busy anyways." Tomoyo's face sadden "Alright…if you insist…"
Suddenly, Tomoyo's face lighten up and she turned to Sakura "Sakura, what about asking Li-kun to go with you?" Sakura slightly flushed and shook her head furiously "No way! I am not asking him." Everyone in their circle looked at Sakura with a look saying 'and why not?', Sakura just said "Remember I have chores to do this weekend…" she lowered her head so she could cover her small blush with her bangs.
Tomoyo didn't miss that blush on her face and let out a light laugh.
The bell rang ending lunch. Everyone packed their belongings and headed towards their next class.

At Kinomoto Residence
Sakura was at home cooking dinner when she heard the door bell "Hai!!" she called and walked quickly to the door. She opened the door and saw Syaoran. "Konbanwa Syaoran-kun" she greeted happily.
Syaoran blushed at Sakura's attire "Konbanwa Kino- Sakura-san…" Sakura opened the door more wider inviting him in but he refused by shaking his head "Um…you know the festival coming up?" Sakura nodded, Syaoran took another big breath and continued "Well…um…you see…Daidoji-san invited me to come with her and Eriol…and I was thinking…if…if…if you wanted to accompany me to the festival?"
Sakura eyes widen a little Is he asking me out on a date to the festival? Syaoran stood there I hope she says yes Sakura nodded slightly and was blushing. He was so happy that he smiled "Okays, I will come to pick you up at 10?" Sakura thought about it for awhile "Yep, 10am."
Syaoran bid goodbye and spun on his heels and was on his way back to his apartment. When Sakura closed the door, she squealed in delight and immediately ran up to her room to call Tomoyo.
She jumped on her bed and dialled her friend's number Ring…Ring…Ring a few moments later a soft and gentle voice appeared on the other line "Hello? Tomoyo here" Sakura couldn't hold her excitement any longer and squealed again but softer.
Tomoyo knew what had happened but pretended that she has no idea "Sakura, what happened?" Sakura giggled again "Tomoyo, Syaoran-kun just asked me to go with him to the festival this weekend!!" Tomoyo could hear the excitement in her voice and asked "That's great!"
"But can you tell me all about it tomorrow at school because I'm a little busy here." Sakura tilted her head to one side and heard someone whining on the other end of the line. "Okays! Bye Bye!" Tomoyo said her goodbye and they both hung up.
Sakura grabbed her pillow and was hugged it and rolling on her bed. Kero flew up to her "Sakura…you have happened to forgotten something very important…" Sakura stopped her actions and was in deep thought and gasped "I FORGOT ABOUT DINNER!!" Kero sweat dropped and watched her rush down the stairs. And heard her downstairs "Onii-chan is going to kill me!" And flew down to watch her in amusement, make dinner and vacuum the house at the same time.
