What Happens During One Summer Holiday

Chapter One - A New Thing Starts

It was a starry night at Penguin Park, and there at the swings, swinging quietly back and forth leaning back to watch the evening sky was Sakura. She seemed to be troubled and even had tears threatening to come down. In her eyes Sakura looked as though she missed someone or was trying to hide, but could not hold back the pain any longer. Not far from her stood Eriol watching her. He knew that he had to do something to help her and so gathered up all of his courage and walked up to her, unconsciously not making a single sound as he neared her.

"Nice evening, isn't it Sakura?" Instinctively Sakura placed her feet in front of her to stop the swing, but slipped and fell forward.

Eriol noticed and ran the rest of the way towards Sakura to catch her. Her eyes were closed, expecting the pain of the ground, but it never came, and instead she felt warm arms around her. She opened her eyes to see that Eriol had his arms wrapped around her, keeping her from falling.

"Sorry about that Eriol, you just scared me and I thought that you were someone else."

"Whom, may I ask, did you mistaken me for?"

"Oh, it's nothing you need to worry about, don't worry about me."

"I never thought that you would be so acute, and towards me for that matter,"

"Sorry Eriol. It's just that it's kind of hard to let people in, especially when I'm still feeling wary, that's all."

"Not to immediately jump into conclusions or anything…but something happened between you and Syaoran," Sakura sat back down on the swing that she fell from before.

Eriol noticed that she was trembling instantly and sat on the swing next to her.

"Sakura, what did he do to you?"

Sakura bent over and covered her face with her hands. Eriol immediately hugged her, and Sakura didn't fight it. She held onto his t-shirt as if her life depended on it. Eriol was worried, but then felt anger begin to bubble inside of him,

'That idiot Li, how could he leave her like this. How could he hurt Sakura like this, I'd hate it if he wounded her badly. Sakura doesn't deserve to be hurt,' thought Eriol.

He didn't move or say anything at all, he just stayed there, holding her close to him, comforting her. After a little while Sakura thought,

'This feels nice, just being held onto like this, just being in Eriol's arms like this feels very nice. Oh, I owe him for doing this for me,' then Sakura looked up towards Eriol.

"Thank you Eriol, you always seem to always take away the pain, I owe you big time for doing this,"

"Sakura you don't owe me anything at all. I'm always here for you so don't worry at all, I guess you can say this is my way of saying thanks for being my closest friend, you truly are someone to care for," and then Sakura smiled at him before she hugged him.

"Thank you Eriol, you are a truly genuine friend and I'm glad that we are friends. Hey, Eriol do you want to come with me and Madison tomorrow? See she wants to cheer me up from my sudden discovery so she's planned a day of fun and shopping, but not for cloths, just maybe some shoes and a jewel or two but mostly we'll be swimming and hitting the roller-coasters and maybe even get some cotton candy after that too," Eriol chuckled.

"Maybe, it depends if Madison allows me to join you two tomorrow Saku,"

"Hold on, lets ask her then,"

"What-" was all he got to say when Sakura lifted off her locket from around her neck and then opened it.

Not long did it take for there to suddenly have a familiar voice and face appear,

"Hey Saku, hey Eli. What's going on there, are you two having a reunion without me?"

"No Mattie, Eli here just popped out of nowhere, as usual," and rolled her eyes as Eriol raised and eyebrow and Madison giggled. "and he found out that Syaoran and I have been going through a little trouble,"

"So then he knows about the breakup between you two?" Sakura was no longer smiling the way she did earlier.

"Madison, he didn't know about that, what's next, the entire universe?!" Nervously she looked over towards Eriol to see that he appeared nothing less than concern.

"Sakura, is that why you're here like this, and earlier?" Suddenly her eyes began to water, and then nodded.

Eriol felt his heart start to break for her,

"Madison, may I join the two of you tomorrow, I would like to also help cheer up Sakura,"

"Eriol, you can join us anytime, so of course you can come, oh and before I forget, how would you guys like to sleep over at my house. Just about the whole gang is here,"

"I'll go if Sakura does, I don't want to leave her alone at all and she deserves some company anyway. What do you say Saku, are you going? Besides, my PIC is probably there two if I'm correct," said Eriol smiling.

Sakura took a breath in before she spoke,

"Is he there?"

"Of course not! No one hurts my cousin and because he hurt you then he has no right to step foot in this house at all because of what he did! Oh and believe you me that everyone here also agrees very much! So no he's not here,"

"Thank you Mattie, but one more question, are you going to be dressing me up?" Sakura asked while smiling weakly.

In return Madison only gave Sakura a shrug as a response.

"Maybe, maybe not Sakura. We'll just have to wait and see what happens." Madison said with a smirk and a mischief glint in her eyes. "Besides I am so glad that you brought up that topic, so anyway I made a few new awesome outfits that I want you to try out once you get here plus I want your opinion. So then the answer to that is yes, I will be dressing you up," with a big smile spread on her face.

"Two words Madison, Oh and Joy,"

"That's more than two words when you look at it in perspective,"

"Stop acting like a smarty pants because there is only one person who can fit those pants is the dude next to me here,"

"Oh so I'm the smarty pants here?"

"Uh, yes you are," and the two girls were giggling at said conversation.

"Okay so I'll see you two soon?"

"That's right,"

"Alrighty then," and Madison closed her end of the communicator.

Then Sakura followed suit and then placed it back around her neck. Even though the conversation had changed, Sakura still had tears in her eyes. Eriol immediately took notice and then took her hand with his left and then lifted her chin to see her with his right hand.

"Sakura, I never thought that he would break your heart, how long Saku?" Asked Eriol.

Sakura shook her head and looked away from his eyes. "Sakura please, I want to help you and to make you feel better, I don't want you to suffer on his account. Or on mine either, so please, tell me Sakura," pleaded Eriol.

Sakura looked back up into his deep blue pools and for the first time she really looked into his eyes. She saw his complete worriment and that he wanted nothing more that to help make her happy once again. When she saw this in his eyes, Sakura was surprised by the impact his eyes had on her,

"Alright Eriol, I'll tell you, but can we do it on our way to my house?"

"Why don't we just go straight to Madison's and from there you can call your father and let him know that you'll be sleeping at Madison's," at that Sakura smiled a little.

"Okay then, how about we go skating then,"

"I don't mind at all, but what about your dress Sakura? Won't it be hard to skate since it's long?" Sakura's small smile widened.

"Eriol, you're forgetting something. I have magic and can just shorten the length of it,"

"Oh, right. Hehe, sorry about that, I guess I did forget that for a moment,"

"Well then don't forget again," Sakura said with a little attitude as she stood up in front of Eriol with a smirk lighting her face. "watch this," in her mind Sakura decided to delay time a bit and did a little scene for Eriol to watch.

She began to pirouette and then she made her dress glow. Eriol smiled as he knew what she planned.

"Wow," was all that came from Eriol as the light from Sakura disappeared.

Sakura raised her arms above her and then Cherry Blossom petals began to cascade down out of nowhere. Once again she glowed, but this time all over. Once again as the light dimmed, she looked different from her earlier appearance and couldn't help but smile in amazement at what she had done. Sakura began to skate around the swings, spinning and turning, doing a jump or two on her wheels. Eriol could tell that she loved to skate and that it brought her peace as she started to work up her legs for the skating they will be doing. After all, even though Madison's house was more closer than her house, didn't mean that it was close to the park itself. Her baby blue dress showed her curves even more as the wind blew by. The sleeveless dress went up to her lower thigh, showing her long legs, her hair was up in a bun, but there were a few curls that were on the sides of her face. Then once again Sakura was in front of the charmed Eriol,

"Mr. Moon, if you don't mind, can you please stand up and put on your skates, we have a long way to go, and Ms. Daidouji is awaiting our company this evening," and then Sakura giggled as Eriol was apparently still charmed.

Eriol at the moment was still staring at Sakura, his breath taken away for how gorgeous she seemed at this very moment,

"Wow, Sakura you look stunning," said Eriol, then began to smile stupidly as he couldn't take his eyes off her at the moment.

"If this has you wowed now, then wait until later when Madison dresses me up. When we get there I will be modeling from dresses, to pajamas, to bathing suits, to tank tops and mini skirts that are more shorter than the dress skirt I have on now," at that Eriol's eyebrow rose and then began to picture Sakura in different bathing suits and mini skirts and then smirked as he stood.

Now it was Sakura's turn to raise an eyebrow,

"Well then, let's just hope then that Madison didn't make me anything, and I can change to without magic,"

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, just watch," Eriol removed his t-shirt to reveal a white tank top, then he ripped from the knee down from his jeans, and popped on his wheels so he could skate.

"You had Heelies on, you knew about this didn't you," accused Sakura.

Eriol had a smirk on, and just shrugged innocently,

"Well then, what do you think?"

"Well, if you really want to know what I think, then I'd have to say that I think that if all the girls from school were here and saw you like this, then they would probably be fighting on who gets you first,"

"Really? Then what about you Sakura?"

"Hmm, I think that you look very good," Sakura said with a smirk.

Eriol smiled and then skated over to Sakura,

"It would be my honor, to skate with you this evening, Ms. Avalon," and then Eriol kissed the back of her hand, and then gave a bow of his head.

Sakura couldn't help but blush at the gesture.

"You know what Eriol?"

"What,"

"If you wanted to drive a girl crazy for you then you do a very good job at that,"

"Why do you say that?" Asked Eriol, his head tilted to the side.

"Well, because you're very well mannered with everyone, especially with the ladies and the girls just go crazy when you do that, or when you kiss there hand, or even just a small gesture that shows them that you're giving her just a little bit of your attention. When you do that then 'bam!!!', you drive them crazy," Sakura explained to him with great enthusiasm.

Eriol raised an eyebrow and grinned,

"Oh really? Well then I'm glad that you noticed Sakura," Sakura couldn't help but blush,

"Oh come on Eriol, I don't want keep Madison waiting anymore, who knows what will run through her mind," then Sakura realized what she would think and began to turn even more red than before.

The two then skated out of the park hand-in-hand, and hopefully Eriol in his mind hopes that Sakura explains what happened so he can help.
