        Tomoyo looked down at her watch. "She's late!" Tomoyo whispered

to herself with worry in her voice. She looked around the mall, but saw no

Sakura. "Where could she be?" she whispered again. This was to be their

first real "date" since Tomoyo confessed her love to Sakura. Tomoyo was

shocked that Sakura felt the same way and was eager to return her feelings to

Tomoyo. They had been spending a lot of time together since then, but had never

really gone on a date. That is what made this day so special to Tomoyo.

       Tomoyo started to squirm nervously in her seat. "Maybe she isn't

going to show up after all" Tomoyo thought looking down at her watch again.

       "Maybe she doesn't love me after all." Tomoyo felt a tear stream

down her face. Tomoyo wiped her face and tried to hide her sadness from the

passersby. She tried to straighten up and look happy, but it was no

use, she was to devastated. Sakura was already close to two hours late. Tomoyo

wanted to run home and lock herself in her room and stay in there until she

died, but something inside of her told her to stay. She remembered an old

saying she had once heard, "With patience comes great rewards."

       After many conflicts with herself she decided to wait a little

longer. "Why am I doing this?" She thought to herself. "I know she isn't going

to show up!"

       Tomoyo stood up and was preparing to leave when she heard it.

        "Tomoyo!"

       Tomoyo quickly turned around and skimmed the crowd. Sakura was

standing directly across from her waving her hands in the air. Tomoyo

immediately dropped what she was holding. "She showed up after all!"

Tomoyo said in complete shock, "I can't believe it!"

       Sakura started to run acrros the room towards Tomoyo. Tomoyo

took in every one of Sakura's graceful steps.

       "You are late Ms. Sakura" Tomoyo said playfully, putting her

hands on her hips,"Do you know how long I have been waiting here?"

       "I am SO sorry!" Sakura said apologetically" I can explain!"

        "Ah, don't worry about it. I am just glad you showed up. Tomoyo

said with her voice full of happiness.

       The couple embraced. They didn't care who was looking or what

anyone thought. All they cared about was eachother.
