A/N: Hi everyone! Thanks for reading my fic. It really means a lot to me. And I must warn you that I'm an E+T fan, ^_^ so don't be expecting any E+K because I don't like Kaho. So if you're a fan of Kaho, I'd advise you to not continue reading. This is my first/second fic, so please be nice and read and review! It's the sequel to Dreams do Come True. Oh, and before I forget, I'd like to especially thank Blayde and Kawaiinesspnay for being my first two reviewers! And blayde, thanks for the comment about the carriage and limo thing. It was kinda weird now that I think about it, but I guess it's a little too late to change it now. And I didn't get much reviews so I waited before releasing this sequel. But I decided to just post it up now for those of you who liked it. Thx soooo much! This is for you ppl who R+R! Ja! =)
~*The Wedding*~
"Tomoyo-chan!" Tomoyo turned around at the sound of her name being called from behind her apartment door, and the loud knocking. It was her best friend Sakura shouting and ringing the bell constantly, obviously excited about something. So she opened the door to let her ecstatic friend in.
"Hi Sakura!"
"Why are you so excited, and what happened?"
"Guess what?"
"What is it?"
Sakura's eyes went starry as she began to answer. "Syaoran proposed to me!! See, look at this ring he gave me."
The ring was made of 14kt gold and had a fairly nice sized emerald jewel saddled on top.
"Syaoran said it matches my sparkling eyes! Don't you think so?"
"Ahhhhh! Congratulations! I know you two will be so happy together! And the ring does go very well with your brilliant eyes! I'm so happy for you two, but the only thing that makes me sad is that I missed such a kawaii moment on tape!." squealed Tomoyo. Although she was happy for them, her two best friends, she was a little disappointed too, because it wasn't her that was making Sakura so happy. It was Syaoran. But she instantly brightened up when she thought of her other love. Her true love who loved her back-Eriol.
"Well I was wondering if you could be my maid of honor and plan the wedding, if it's not too much for you." Sakura asked uneasily, still not quite sure if Tomoyo would be okay.
"Of course I would!" cried Tomoyo. "I'd be honored to do this for my two best friends in the world. I'm also going to make your wedding dress, and it'll be so beautiful! I could even make a tux for Syaoran, if he wants!" Now it was Tomoyo's turn to go starry-eyed. "Just think of all the pretty designs I could use! And all the flowers I'll order and arrange and the food, with your consultancy, and the cake and the decorations! I can't wait to get started!"
"Thank you so much for doing this Tomoyo! You're the best! But I think Syaoran already has his eyes on another tuxedo in a store we passed by last time. So you don't need to bother with that" Sakura said as she embraced her best friend in gratitude.
"Well, I've gotta go and tell everyone about this news!" Sakura said.
"No, let me do that! I'll get the invitations right away and mail all of them! Just give me your list of guest."
"Okay, arigatou! I knew I could count on you! Bye!"
With that, Sakura left dreamily, still dreaming about her perfect wedding day.
"Wow, that's a lot of planning to do, especially since it's only a month away," thought Tomoyo. "I'll need to get some help, but first I've gotta tell Eriol about this. He'll be so excited!"
~*~
When Sakura left, Tomoyo picked up her phone and pushed the speed dial button, and of course she had Eriol's number on speed dial.
"Konnichi wa, Hiiragizawa Eriol speaking."
"Eriol-kun? This is Tomoyo. I've got something very important to tell you! I'm so excited!"
"Well, what is it? I wanna know."
"Well, you know how Sakura and Syaoran have been dating for a long time now?"
"Yea, yea, go on with it! This curiosity is getting the best of me. So go!"
"Well, maybe I shouldn't tell you just yet. You sound so cute when you're kinda pouty like that." She teased.
"I won't be so cute when I die of curiosity here, so tell me!" he practically shouted in excitement.
"Okay, okay. Syaoran finally proposed to Sakura!! Isn't that great?"
Eriol smirked on the other line. "So my cute descendant finally had the guts to do it huh? And that is wonderful news. And let me guess, you're making the dress and planning the whole thing?"
"Yep! Although it is a lot of work…"
"Oh, let me help you! It'd be a fun project we could work on together and we could spend more time together! I just can't get enough of you, my sweet little plum blossom."
"That would be fantastic! You're so thoughtful, and I'd love to spend more time with you!"
"I've gotta book a ballroom and all that stuff so talk to you later, okay? Love you, bye."
"Love you too, bye."
~*~
The next week, Eriol and Tomoyo met at the banquet hall to plan the rest of the arrangements for the wedding.
"No, I think those flowers should go there, or there," Tomoyo sighed. This was harder than she thought, but luckily she had Eriol there to help.
"No, there's fine." Eriol gestured over in the direction he was implying.
"Okay then."
"Whoo, let's take a break, Tomoyo. We've been doing this for five hours straight. Don't you think we deserve a small break?"
"But we still have a lot of things to plan, and I wanna finish as soon as possible, so we can get Sakura and Syaoran's opinion. Then we could quickly change anything they don't like, before it's too late." Tomoyo reasoned.
"We'll get it done, don't worry. You're too stressed. Here let me give you a shoulder massage." Eriol gave the most sensational massages ever, so Tomoyo couldn't resist. Besides, she was getting a little tired.
So she sat in front of him, and he worked his magic. Not his real magic but he magic of his massaging hands.
"Ah, that feels so good."
"I am a professional you know," Eriol teased.
Tomoyo giggled. She loved Eriol's sense of humor and how he's always teasing her that way.
"Some day our wedding will be just as perfect as this, or maybe even better," Eriol thought out loud.
Whoa, he's thinking of marriage already? I hadn't really thought about it that much. Tomoyo thought. Oh well, just as long as I'm marrying him.
"You wanna marry me?" Tomoyo mocked.
"Of course! I love you and there's no one I'd rather spend the rest of my life with than you. You're the only one for me. I don't know what I was thinking when I was with Kaho, a long time ago. She seems like a wicked witch, now that I think of it…especially compared to you, my little angel."
"Oh stop it Eriol," Tomoyo remarked jokingly, loving the way he always praised her.
"Stop what? I'm only speaking the truth. And besides I'm a born charmer, remember?" he smirked. "And I would love to marry you one day. When I do, that day would be the happiest day of my life. I wouldn't even care if the wedding was really crummy, just as long as I have you, and am marrying you. I wouldn't care if I was on my death bed, just as long as you're by my side and you're the last thing I see."
"You know, you really are prince charming, and you're so sweet," giggled Tomoyo. She felt so good inside to hear all this. It meant a lot to her that someone loved her that much. " But stop being so loving and alluring now, Eriol, even though I love it, because we should really get back to work."
"Gomen nasai Tomoyo, but that's just the way I am." He smirked again and pulled her closer for a kiss. She returned the kiss, but pulled away shortly. They still had work to do, and here she was playing around with Eriol, although it was hard to resist him. He was ever so charming and attracting.
"Quit fooling around, we've got to finish this," Tomoyo smiled, although she was also a little reluctant.
"It was just a little kiss, dear, and I wasn't finished," Eriol said with the cutest little puppy face pout.
"Aww, that's so kawaii! After we finish, could you do that again? I just have to get it on tape, even though I usually tape Sakura. But we've got to work first and play later…" Tomoyo said, still halfhearted. Eriol fell anime-style at the first remark. "You just can't put down that camcorder of yours for very long, can you?" he said.
"Well, you know it is very fascinating, and it's one of my hobbies." She told him. But back to the playing around part. She liked playing with him, especially when he had that oh so cute puppy face pout. But they had to finish planning the wedding for Sakura and Syaoran. After all, this was Sakura and Syaoran's wedding they were planning, and they were her dearest friends.
"Fine, but you owe me half a kiss." He retorted.
"Help me finish this thing quickly and I'll give you a full one."
"Deal!"
It was incredible. After another five hours, they had finished preparing everything. And they did this in only a week. Imagine. A perfect wedding planned in only a week. But of course, the perfect couple planned it, so it was bound to be exceptional.
"Wow! We actually did it! Everything's just right: the flowers, the cake, the decorations, the dress, the setting, the music, the invitations, the guests, the food. The everything is picture perfect!" exclaimed Tomoyo, as she threw herself on Eriol to give him a grateful hug. "And I couldn't have done it without you!"
"Yes, and I went out with Syaoran yesterday and got him the perfect tuxedo too. Everything's great, so lets rest and call them in tomorrow for the 'final judgment.'"
Tomoyo giggled as she remembered Sakura having passed the test that Yue gave her to see if she was worthy of being the Clow Mistress. "Looks like it's our turn to see if we're worthy."
"I'm sure we are."
They began to exit the hall, but just before they did, Eriol had a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.
"What about my kiss? You didn't forget our little agreement, did you?"
"Oh yes, the kiss. I changed my mind," she teased, "I just said that to get you to finish planning with me." She laughed playfully.
"You wound me so, Tomoyo. And here I thought you actually loved me." He put on a fake pouty face.
They were always teasing each other in a way that only they could understand. If you didn't know them well enough, you'd think that she really meant what she said, and he was really hurt. But they weren't being serious. It was just how their relationship was: sarcastic, loving, and ever so kawaii.
"Alright." Tomoyo said, and pulled him in to seal their deal.
~*~
~*The Big Day*~
Tomoyo spent the night at Eriol's luxurious mansion that night. He had a mansion and a palace. The palace was for the king and his relatives, and the mansion was for him, Nakuru, and Spinel Sun. It was like his little getaway, his sanctuary. Normally, he stayed there, but went over to the palace the other time for the ball. The mansion was close by and they were both very tired. Plus, they felt inseparable that night. They just wanted to be near each other. They were too close to be separated now.
"You may use this room." Eriol opened the door to the room that was just perfect for Tomoyo. It was like the whole room was shouting her name. The curtains on the window to the balcony were a light lavender color, the bed sheets were a light lavender, the carpet was a baby blue, the walls were white, and the mirror and desk were also a matching color to the pastel colors around them. The balcony had a very nice view of the city, and the bedstead was white with pale lavender curtains around the top.
"It's a lovely room, Eriol. Did you decorate it yourself?"
"Yes, in fact I did. I designed so that it would fit your personality. The only thing that is missing from this room is you. You complete the entire scene. I thought that if one day you might spend the night here again, you would use this room, and it reminds me of you. So every time I feel a little lonely, I go to this room to think about you and reminisce of all the good times we've shared. It makes me fell a lot better afterwards, especially knowing that you're only a phone call away, and that I would see you the next day."
Once again, Tomoyo was touched by his words. They were so sweet and sincere. How did I ever live without him? Tomoyo thought. Then she remembered. Oh yea, I didn't really live happily because I was living with my evil stepmother and stepsisters, who made me do everything for them. Then when I became eighteen, I was old enough to inherit my father's fortune, and I moved out. That was only a little after while after that special night when I first met Eriol at the ball.
"You enchant me Eriol Hiiragizawa. You really do. Whenever I talk to you, you always end up saying something like this, and my heart melts." She gave him a light kiss on the cheek, while it turned a pale pink.
Eriol grinned. She had always been able to melt his heart, and love the fact that he could do the same.
~*~
The next day, Eriol and Tomoyo had breakfast together, and went out to the banquet hall. They had called Sakura and Syaoran to come too, to inspect the hall. The four of them arrived at the same time. Eriol stood in front of one door, and Tomoyo stood in front of the other.
"Presenting the banquet hall for the soon to be Mr. And Mrs. Li Syaoran." Eriol announce. Then he and Tomoyo opened the door they stood in front of, revealing the picturesque ballroom/banquet hall. The two (Sakura and Syaoran) gasped. They were stunned by how beautiful everything was. The only word to describe it was 'perfect.'
"Arigatou so much to both of you!" Sakura and Syaoran cried, and embraced them in a very appreciative hug.
"Y-you're w-welcome," both Eriol and Tomoyo stuttered, as the couple before them squeezed the air out of them.
The hall was filled with all kinds of flowers, especially Sakura flowers, which represented Sakura, and there were cute little statues of a cute little wolf around the hall, representing Syaoran. Everything was decorated a pale pink, for Sakura, and a pale green, which matched beautifully, for Syaoran. The mini gifts that were passed out for the wedding was a miniature figurine of a cute little wolf holding cherry blossoms (Sakura flowers). They were placed around every table, one for each guest. Everything was so perfect, that the couple to be married didn't have a thing to change.
Sakura went teary-eyed. She loved the entire room. It was just the way she wanted it to be. And when she saw the dress hanging on a chair nearby, more tears spilled out; tears of shear happiness. The dress was even more elegant and gorgeous than the dress that she saw in a wedding store, that she had wanted to buy. But of course she didn't, because she promised that Tomoyo could design it for her. She was so glad she had made that promise.
"Syaoran, we have the two best friends in the world!" Sakura exclaimed.
"I couldn't agree more." Syaoran responded.
~*~
The day of the wedding had finally arrived. Tomoyo was helping Sakura get ready, and Eriol was helping Syaoran get ready for their big night.
"You're not nervous, are you, Sakura?"
"A little, and I'm very excited."
"Congratulations! I'm so happy for you and Syaoran!"
"This is going to be the happiest day of my life."
"I can't believe this day finally arrived! I knew you two would be together forever! So have you two thought about your honeymoon yet?"
"Yea. We're going to Hong Kong to meet his family and vacation there! Isn't that great?"
"Of course it's great! And you look great, but hold still so I can get a shot of you with my camera. You know of course, that I can't miss this day on video!" Tomoyo squealed in delight.
"Just when I thought you forgot about that, you bring it out again!" Sakura laughed.
"Ooooooh, and I've got to record you going down the aisle, and the whole ceremony!"
"That's so you, Tomoyo!" Sakura cried. "Try to think of something else besides that camcorder, for once!"
"Like what? Oh, I know, I'll think about how kawaii you two look together! And how happy you two must be. So if you're happy, then so am I!"
"I was referring to Eriol, Tomoyo." Sakura sighed. "You haven't said a thing about him the entire day!"
"But it's yours and Syaoran's big day. Why would I mention Eriol when it's all about you two today?"
"Did I hear my name?" came a familiar voice from the doorway.
"Oh hi Eriol-kun, doesn't Sakura-chan look beautiful?"
"Yes, indeed she does. But I'm sorry Sakura-chan, because in my eyes, the most beautiful woman in the world is my Tomoyo, but you're second place and very close to first." He smiled, looked at her adoringly and slipped his arms around her tiny waist to hug her tightly. Sakura smiled at this, she was also very happy that her dearest friend, Tomoyo, had finally found the one she truly loves.
"Oh stop teasing! This is Sakura's wedding day, and she deserves to be the most beautiful woman in the world, which she is!" Tomoyo defended.
"Tomoyo-chan, Eriol-kun is right. You're the most beautiful woman in the world and I couldn't be happier for you. So just drop it. Besides, I'm the most beautiful in Syaoran's eyes, and you're the most beautiful in Eriol's, so it's even." Sakura replied.
"Fine, but I still think you're the most beautiful, no matter what anyone says." Chuckled Tomoyo.
~*~
Night had fallen quickly that day, while everyone was so busy getting ready for the wedding. And now everyone was in their places at the chapel. Syaoran was standing next to Eriol, waiting for his bride to come. Sakura was standing behind the doors, waiting for her cue to walk down the aisle. The guests were seated, Tomoyo was standing on the bride's side, and being maid of honor, she stood next to the altar. Eriol was standing on the groom's side, and was the best man, so he stood on the other side of the altar. Both of them glanced at each other, and both were excited and happy for their friends.
The music began to play, as Sakura opened the door to the room filled with her loved ones. She slowly walked down the aisle, walking to the wedding march song. But unfortunately, being the clumsy Sakura that she was, she tripped on her wedding dress and fell face down on the floor. It was her wedding day and she tripped on her dress, not being used to it, and all of this was caught on tape too! Poor Sakura. It was a bit embarrassing, and she wanted her special day to be perfect, but she stumbled. Some of the guests quickly stifled a laugh at the bride's clumsiness, especially Sakura's brother, Touya. He always made fun of Sakura and this would be great blackmail someday, he thought.
Sakura finally reached the end of the aisle and the minister read from the bible. The two of them each said their own vows after saying 'I do', and kissed. Everyone cheered. They were wedded.
Everyone moved on to the beautiful banquet hall in the next room, and the party began. All of the guests were eating, dancing, and socializing, while Eriol and Tomoyo hid in the back of the spacious room. They were planning to throw pixie dust over the whole banquet to make a shimmering effect.
"Is this enough to cover the entire room?" Tomoyo inquired Eriol.
"It should be, and if it's not, I'll make it enough." Eriol released his staff and dispelled the fairy dust everywhere, causing everyone to look up, amazed.
"We did it," Tomoyo cheered silently, as Eriol confined his staff once again.
"Yes, we did." Eriol smiled, and they walked out of their hiding place.
Sakura and Syaoran knew instantly that they were the ones who made the magical dust appear and thanked them.
"Thank you guys again! You made it even prettier than it was before. I didn't think it was even possible!" Sakura thanked them. "Now come on and dance! You two make such a cute couple!"
They blushed at that compliment. But it was true though; they made the most kawaiiest couple ever. Her purple-black hair and amethyst eyes went so well with his dark midnight blue hair and cerulean eyes. And both of them had a pale complexion that matched so well. If you just looked at them standing next to each other, you'd think they were made for each other.
The two couples walked out onto the dance floor, hand in hand. It was a slow song, and they danced beautifully.
"Wow, it's been a while since we've danced together," Tomoyo said to Eriol.
"It has, hasn't it? And now that we're dancing again, I realize how much I missed this." Eriol answered.
"I've missed it too, and I love being in your arms. It makes me feel so safe, warm, and loved." She beamed.
Now they stepped off the dance floor and moved into the outside garden for a private moment together. Enjoying their private moment and the gleaming stars, they engaged themselves into a private conversation.
"I love having you in my arms, and when you're here, I feel complete."
After their touching confessions, the two cuddled up and kissed lightly.
"You know what?" Eriol inquired Tomoyo.
"What?"
"I've missed that too." They beamed at that. After all those years being together, they still couldn't seem to get enough of it. All they wanted to do was stay together forever, even in their after life. It seemed now that they couldn't be separated…or so they thought.
"Tomoyo, I want you to know something."
"What is it?"
"I want you to know that I'll always be there for you and protect you. Know that whenever I'm near, you're safe."
"Arigatou Eriol. That means a lot to me. And I want you to know something."
"What is it?"
"Know that I'll always love you no matter what. And that even if we ever argue, know that I'll always love you no matter what I say or do."
"And I you."
~*~
Back inside the banquet
"Attention everyone. I'd like to make a toast to Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun. You two have been so good to me. I don't know how I'll ever thank you two enough. You are the two finest people on earth. I love you both very much and I hope you two a very pleasurable life together filled with love and happiest. I wish you the best. Cheers to Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun!" Tomoyo proudly announced and raised her glass with everyone.
"Cheers!"
"Now we'd like to give the newly weds the second part of our gift, aside from the actually present. It is a song duet with me on the piano and Ms. Tomoyo Daidouji on vocal. I hope you both like it and the rest of you may enjoy as well." Eriol announced. He seated himself on the piano bench and Tomoyo stood next to him with the microphone. They did a beautiful duet together, dedicated to their dear friends.
"That was beautiful, you two. Thank you once again! This entire evening was an éclat!" the couple thanked for the millionth time.
The wedding ended nicely and everyone left. The driver drove the newly weds to their new home, with the limo that Tomoyo had generously allowed them to keep as a wedding gift. They arrived at their home and Syaoran carried Sakura over the threshold.
"KAWAIIIIIIIII!!!!" squealed Tomoyo, as she recorded the whole scene.
"You never get tired of that do you?" Eriol inquired.
"Nope. It's a hobby of mine."
"Well, lets go now, they need time alone."
"Okay then."
Tomoyo dropped off Eriol at his mansion with her limo and bid him goodnight.
"Goodnight Eriol-kun."
"Goodnight my sweet Tomoyo-chan."
He kissed her goodnight and she departed to her apartment, which was only about twenty minutes away.

Somewhere on the roof of a building, someone was watching.
"Wait 'til you see what I have in stores for you, 'plum blossom' muhahaha." (Silently and evilly) "You'll be sorry for what you did."
A/N: Cliffhanger? Don't you just love those? ^_^ J/k. I know this chapter was short, but did you like it? And do you have cavities from all the sweetness yet? I'll have the next chapter up pretty soon, but not too soon. I don't know if I can keep this up with my schoolwork and everything too. But please review! Ja! =)
