Syaoran noticed Saran kept grinning to herself quite evilly all through breakfast.
"What's got you so conspiring today?" he demanded. His match-making cousin giggled.
"Oh, nothing," she answered. "I'm just planning a shopping trip for Tomoyo-Chan, Sakura-Chan, you, and me!"
"But you were out shopping with Sakura all day yesterday! You almost bought the entire mall! What more could you possibly buy?!" Saran fixed her ignorant cousin with a 'look'.
"Why I want to go shopping again today doesn't really matter. I just want to go with ALL my new friends this time!" she shouted. "And you are GOING!" With that, she dragged a poor, protesting, Syaoran out the door.

Tomoyo grinned as Saran walked toward them dragging a still protesting Syaoran behind her on the ground. Once the two cousins reached the two girls (like the number two?), Syaoran stood up and brushed the dirt off himself while staring at Sakura.
"Oh, Sakura-Chan, you look so kawaii!" exclaimed Saran after she saw what Sakura just so happened to be wearing thanks to a certain Tomoyo. Sakura blushed a deep red. That morning, Tomoyo had gone over to her house with an outfit in hand. Now our favorite card captor was wearing a yellow tank top with pink cherry blossoms all over it and a very kawaii pink skirt with yellow cherry blossoms. Sakura was living up to her name in style. She glanced over at Syaoran for his reaction only to see him staring straight at her with a faint blush on his face.
"Y-you l-l-look *gulp* p-pretty," the poor boy amazingly enough managed to choke out. Sakura blushed an even deeper shade of red (if that's even possible) and found herself unable to turn away from his gaze.
"A-arigato, Syaoran-kun," she said. Tomoyo and Saran grinned at and high-fived each other. Sakura hadn't even noticed her slip on the use of names! Syaoran found himself unable to believe that the girl of his dreams had just called him by his first name.
"Um...guys? If you're done staring at each other now, we still need to go to the mall," interrupted Saran. Sakura and Syaoran abruptly broke their eye contact with each other and nodded in agreement.
