A bell rang through empty hallways, ending third period and starting lunch. A certain emerald-eyed girl was skipping away from her classroom to her usual eating spot where her and her friends hung out at lunch.

When she arrived, her friends were already there chattering away and eating. "Hey guys!" Sakura waved to her friends and sat down next to Tomoyo as usual. " Oh yeah Sakura, tell me about what happened yesterday with you and Li-kun."

Sakura flushed a little "Um…how should I put it…he asked me out to the festival coming up…" Tomoyo squealed and then evilly grin, Sakura did not miss this grin and did not like it one bit. "Oh no Tomoyo…! I will do fine with what I choose!"

The rest of the gang looked at Sakura questioning her somewhat reply and she just said simply "Tomoyo wants to make a kimono for me to wear to the festival." Tomoyo's eyes were pleading Sakura into letting her make a kimono for her. Finally, Sakura gave in to her companion's pleading eyes and sighed in defeat. Tomoyo knew that she had won and hugged Sakura.

The lunch bell rang ending lunch.

At Daidoji Residence

Sakura went over to Tomoyo's place after school. When she entered the house with Tomoyo. "Tadaimas!" Tomoyo called into the house that seemed empty. After Sakura had taken off her shoes and put on slippers, Tomoyo dragged her up the huge staircase into her room.

Sakura was panting when they entered Tomoyo's room. She didn't mind how big it was because she visited often. She sat herself on the pale yellow couch and wandered where Tomoyo had ran off to.

Tomoyo came out of her bedroom size closet with something that looked like a kimono. Sakura was about to ask what she was holding when Tomoyo pulled her off the couch and pushed her into the change room "Go in and try it on!!"

"How come you made one already when I didn't ask you?" Tomoyo just grinned "Well, I knew if I begged you, you would give in and allow me to do so. So I had this one prepared."

Sakura sighed and went into the changing room. Tomoyo was tapping her foot impatiently. A few minutes later Sakura came out in a pale blue kimono with sakura petals everywhere and some blossoms here and there and came all the way down to her ankles.

Tomoyo wasn't satisfied with the kimono and then she just remembered that she had a hair ornament for Sakura to go along with her kimono. She went over to one of her drawers and shuffled through it when she let out a satisfied 'ah' and came back to Sakura with 2 red ribbons with 2 gold bells hanging off each end.

She tied it into her hair and she squealed in delight. Sakura went over to a mirror and looked at herself. Amazed at the kimono her best friend had made for her. " I will return it to you after the festival alrights?" Tomoyo's eyes widened "No no no no NO! Absolutely NOT! That kimono is yours now" she pointed at the kimono.

"What about the hair ornament?" Sakura asked. "That is yours to keep as well" Tomoyo replied and giggled. "Oh thank you so much Tomoyo!" Sakura went to give her friend a hug. "It's okays, I always made you outfits."

Both of the girls giggled and something just popped into Sakura's mind "Ne Tomoyo? What about your kimono?" Tomoyo stopped giggling and smiled "Yeah it is in my closet. Why ask?" Sakura motioned Tomoyo to her closet meaning 'go get it'

Tomoyo understood what she meant and walked inside her closet and returned with her kimono. Sakura pushed her friend into the change room "I want to see how you look in it!" Tomoyo sighed and then smiled and got changed.

She came out with a light yellow kimono with bunches of green stars that came to her ankles. Sakura awed her friend and Tomoyo flushed a little. "Do you have any accessories to go with it?" Tomoyo nodded and pointed to the same draw she got Sakura's ornament from. Sakura walked over to the draw and pulled out the draw and shuffled through the mess.

She found a green ribbon with 2 simple pink butterflies at each end. It was similar to hers, while she was staring at the ornament in awe Tomoyo walked over and softly laughed. Sakura snapped out of her day dreaming and told Tomoyo to turn around.

When she did so, Sakura took out the hair tie holding her hair in a neat ponytail and did a half ponytail instead and tied the ribbon on. She pulled Tomoyo towards the mirror and she just stared. Tomoyo was happy with her kimono as well as Sakura's.

When it was time for Sakura to get home, they took turns changing back into their school uniforms and Tomoyo neatly folded Sakura's kimono and placed it into a bag along with the ribbons. Tomoyo walked Sakura to the door "You sure you don't want a ride back home?" Sakura nodded "It's okays, my house is only 7 minutes away from here so don't sweat it."

She bided goodbye to her and was on her way back home.

The Day of Festival ( Kinomoto Residence)

It was 9:30pm when Sakura woke up. When she saw the time she panicked "Uh ohh… HE WILL BE HERE IN HALF AN HOUR!!" She quickly got up and ran straight to the bathroom to have a quick shower and brush her teeth and hair.

When she was done, she ran back her bedroom and carefully took out her kimono and slipped into it.

She went to her mirror and tied the 2 ribbons on each side of her head. She turned to look at the time, she sighed in relief, it was only 9:40 am.

She walked down to the kitchen and found it empty. She remembered that her brother and father had to go to work. So she made her self plain toast and started nibbling on it with a glass of orange juice.

At Li Residence

Syaoran woke up at 9am. Since he still had time to pick Sakura up, he walked down to his kitchen "Ohayo Wei." He got no response and thought Wei had went out for awhile. He settled in with a bowl of cereal and a cup of jasmine tea. Then the phone rang "Hello? This is Syaoran speaking."

"Oh Li, this is Tomoyo. Can you go and pick Sakura up and met Eriol and I at the shrine gates? I'm a little delayed here so we will be a little late there." Syaoran slightly blushed at the image of him and Sakura walking together to the festival. "Uh…okays…" Tomoyo giggled at the end of the line "Oh and to let you know she looks very cute…" Syaoran's face went crimson. "I will see you at the festival!!Ja"

With that she hung up on him. He sighed and made his way to back the dining table and began to eat.

When he finished it was 9:20 so he walked up to his bathroom to take a shower. He came out and it was already 9:35. He thought he should make his way to Sakura's place because it will take him around 20 minutes to get there.

He wrote a quick note:

Wei,

I'm going out today so you are free to do what ever you please. And I will be home before dinner.

Syaoran Li

He left the note on the counter and walked out of his apartment locking the door with his keys.
