{2nd Card}

I know there's a lot of us on the network, so this might get a lot of different ideas, but that's okay! We could make a list! But um. I was wondering, about where others might go, what you might do for a date with someone? Though I guess that might depend on the person, what they like doing, probably?

I haven't done this before, so. I'm trying to come up with some ideas. Of where to go together or what to do. So if anyone else has any ideas, that could help us decide! I mean, most of you are older, so you probably have more experience with this sort of thing, at least.

[Yes. That's right. Xiaolang finally confessed to her and she realized she returned his feelings, so. These two middle-schoolers are together now. It only took however many months at this point.]

which one of your boyfriends is this date with?

[SOLIEL

WHAT

NO]

WHAT OTHER BOYFRIENDS???

[Because Sakura herself said she never thought of anyone in THAT way before him, but

what if there were other boys claiming to go out with her

without her knowing

WHO DOES HE NEED TO FIGHT]

[And the culprit is flushed out.]

that answers that

so youre the lucky one huh?
the little ladykiller sakura is talking about?

[it's a dirty trick and HE ABSOLUTELY FELL FOR IT]

I

I am, yeah.

[And thank goodness this is via text, because the whole 'ladykiller' comment is making him turn all shades of red]

What do you mean 'that answers that', though? What other boys ARE there?

sakura is a super cute little lady
you agree right?

shes got to be v popular
though maybe youre the first one to work up the courage to charm her

[The worst thing about all this text communication is that he can't just nod and let that be that-- he has to actually write these things, and oh my god he can barely get the words out.]

She..

She is. Super cute, I mean.

[Even with them dating, even with them sharing mutual affections, HE STILL FEELS LIKE COMBUSTING AFTER WRITING THAT........]

We've been friends for a while, though, and we share Retrospec memories too, so it's not like there was any charming involved or anything... [Although him acting the way he usually does and being super protective and supportive of her certainly helped win her heart, not that he's aware of it.]

[She wishes she could see his face, but she can pretend.]

oh wow! sharing memories?
so she was your gf before huh?
thats some fairy tale true love stuff right there

thats so cute
im pretty jealous!

[IMAGINE A TOMATO EXPLODING AND YOU'LL HAVE AN ACCURATE PICTURE

But after covering his COMPLETELY RED face for about ten minutes, trying to get his heartbeat down to a more normal level, he attempts to write a reply.... which is easier said than done when his fingers are trembling like crazy.]

I do

I dom't

I don't knwo if we were actually tohgethr

we had the same feelijgns for each other b ut

[Goddammit, autocorrect WHY ARE YOU PUNKING OUT NOW]

The other me was going back to Hong Kong when we told each other how we felt. I don't know if we ever got the chance to really... go out places and be with one another.

[Of course, he hasn't regained anything from when he was thirteen yet, so LITTLE DOES HE KNOW.....]

[If this is his reaction just talking about Sakura, Soleil wonders what kind of breakdowns he is going to have actually with her.]

thats pretty crazy
the more you talk the more it sounds like a fairy tail
true love separated in one life, reunited in another

that sound about right prince charming?

[In his defense, he's more flustered over the 'true love fairy tale' stuff than Sakura herself, although Sakura can easily wreck him without a second thought too 8'|]

I mean

y yeah

I guess that sounds about right

But I liked her before we remembered... what we were to one another. I don't just like her because my other self did. There was a lot more to it than just that.

[Because true love and being reunited once again in this life was romantic!! But he didn't want to think Retrospec pushed him to feel a certain way about her. He would have loved her even without this past life nonsense involved.]

[She is genuinely envious of this. It's about as romantic as things can get. It's easy to forget right now that these are a pair of preteens, since...dimension-spanning true love seems a little advanced for a pair of babies...]

a lot more huh
what makes up all that a lot more?
it can't be just because she's cute as a button

[SOLEIL, YOU'LL FIND YOUR PRINCESS SOMEDAY!!! HONEST!!! also probably for the best he doesn't mention them being like... eleven years old in their memories when they confessed, since dating someone at fourteen is probably a bit more feasible....

also jfc what did he just get into by saying that, IS HE REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO SAY WHY HE FELL FOR HER......]

I mean

She's... amazing. She's the most genuine and kind person that I know. She can make anyone happy, just by being around them. She puts her all into everything she does, even if she's not great at it, and she rarely lets anything get her down. And when it does...

... there's something about her that makes you want to see her smile again, and do whatever you can to protect it.

[...................shit that just got too romantic TOO FAST, WHY DID HE GO ON LIKE THAT TO A STRANGER]

Sh

She's also been a good friend of mine for a while, so there's that too, of course.

I'm glad our other selves share the same feelings we do, but... I would have liked her even if it wasn't for all of that, I think.

[She kind of feels bad. This boy is like a faucet.]

omigosh （゜◇゜）
youre so cute

hmm i can rest easy knowing little sakura is going out with a good boy
im going to hold you to all that ok?
protecting cute girls' smiles is v. important to me
so do your best okay?

Which one? I only have one though?

right right
only one
got it (*＾∀ﾟ)ъ

I do though. Just Xiaolang-kun.

oh so thats his name
hmm
so
whats he like??

Yes. Li Xiaolang. Or, I mean. Xiaolang is his first name, just. We have that different name order to the West.

But you haven't met or talked yet? He's great! He's really supportive and kind. And brave!

[She could go on. Even that much probably has Xiaolang in tomato mode as it is though.]

really?
he must be something real special then!

youve got to tell me more

[He isn't going to get off that easily. This is too cute.]

He is very special.

Um, what else did you want to know about him?

hmm
lets see

hmm!!!

is he cute?

Yes! Of course he is. I mean. I think so. Especially when he smiles.

you to are just the cutest!
good gosh

well
i dont know anything about boys but
whats important for a date is to be together
what you do together isnt too important
pick something you already enjoy doing together

Something we already enjoy. That sounds easy enough. Like going to the movies or getting ice cream.
