"ERIOL-KUN!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Sakura exclaimed as she stepped into the decorated Hiiragizawa manor with a huge box in her hands with Li Syaoran walking beside her, frowning slightly. Nakuru Akizuki squealed as she ran down the stairs, giving Sakura an enormous hug, "OOOOOOOOH! SAKURA-CHAN!"
Sakura giggled as she released herself, "Hello Nakuru-san, where is Eriol-kun?"
"Sakura-chan!"
"Eriol-kun!" Sakura squealed as Eriol came down the stairs, beaming, "Konnichi wa, Sakura-san!" Sakura giggled, "Happy birthday, Eriol-kun! Here's your present!" Sakura handed the huge box over to Eriol who smiled, "Arigatou gozaimasu."
Beside her, Syaoran squirmed, holding out a small wrapped gift, "Here's yours." He tossed it carelessly to Eriol who caught it, smirking, "It'll be a surprise to see what's inside." Syaoran rolled his eyes, "Like hell, Hiiragizawa." Eriol chuckled, shaking his head, "Where's Touya-san?"
"In the kitchen with me and Suppi-chan!" Nakuru called out from the kitchen as a groan was heard, "Stupid Akizuki!"
Sakura laughed, "Yukito-san will not be able to make it today because of a few school projects in his hands. I believed Kero-chan is upstairs playing video games."
Eriol frowned, "What about Daidouji-san?" He remembered the beautiful girl with amethyst eyes that always top the class with her smart knowledge. He wondered how she was doing now. Was she still the most sought-after girl in the school?
Sakura shook her head, "She apologized for not making it today. She has choir practice till quite late. She's having a competition the day after tomorrow."
Eriol's eyes lit up with interest, "I remember her singing very well. I'm sure she will win." Sakura giggled, "Hai! I have complete faith in my best friend!"
Syaoran rolled his eyes, "Where's Yamazaki, Hiiragizawa?" Sakura nodded enthusiastically, "Where are the girls and the boys?" Eriol smiled, "They're in the living hall at the west wing. You can join them there." Sakura quickly took Syaoran's hand and rushed up, "See you later, Eriol-kun!"
Eriol laughed, shaking his head as he walked up to join them. He was surprised to find that he was actually thinking of that Daidouji heiress. He had remembered how entrancing she had always looked but yet he never really bothered to find out more.
Sighing, he ascended the stairs and opened the knob to the living hall where his classmates were playing in there, "Hello there!" Eriol smiled, greeting.
The girls waved as Yamazaki stood up, giving Eriol a bear hug, squashing him, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAL!" Yamazaki giggled childishly, holding out a squarish wrapped present, "This is your birthday present!" Eriol smiled, eyes crinkling as he took it, examining it.
He didn't have to open it up to know what it really was. A book full of the world's craziest nonsenses and stupidest lies.
Eriol secretly smiled, "Arigatou gozaimasu, Yamazaki." Yamazaki smiled, "No problem, man! Anything for my buddy!" Yamazaki went back to playing Who Wants To Be A Millionaire PS game.
"TIME TO EAT!!!!!!" Nakuru called from the kitchen below.
Chiharu stood up, facing Eriol, "Hiiragizawa-kun, you actually asked Akizuki-san to do the cooking?" Eriol beamed, "Not to worry, she improved by tons ever since. And at least she's got Touya-san to help her with."

"See you another day, Eriol-kun!"
"Mata ashita!"
"Ja ne!"
"Sayonara!"
Everybody waved good-bye, walking out of the manor. Eriol waved, "Thanks for coming!" Everybody waved wildly except for the slightly sulky but getting happier Syaoran.
The door closed as Nakuru quickly rushed to Eriol, "QUICK! OPEN THE PRESENTS!" Eriol laughed as his guardian's anxiety, heading towards the sofa as Spinel dumped the bunch of presents onto his lap.
Nakuru sat beside him, handing him the first one, "By Yamazaki-kun!" Eriol grinned, tearing the wrapper open and held out the book.
" ' The Book of the Ten Thousand Crap' ! " Eriol laughed as Spinel helped to put the book down on the living hall table.
Nakuru held out the next one, "Next by Chiharu-san." It revealed a puppy soft toy. Nakuru squealed, "AMAI!" Eriol laughed, "Next, please." Nakuru handed the next one, "By Rika-san and Tereda-sensei."
Eriol smiled as he tore opened the wrapper before holding the present in his hands, " 'Tale of the Prince's Stone' …" Eriol jumped up suddenly, cheering, "Yes! I've been looking for this novel for sooooo long!"
Nakuru beamed, holding out the next one, "By the boys in the class."
"Wonderful…" Eriol couldn't help but grinned, looking at the PC game wrapped nicely in front of him, "Diablo II…"
Nakuru laughed, holding out the second last one, "Syaoran-kun! That kawaii gaki!" Eriol laughed, eyes twinkling as he opened the wrapper and smirked.
"Printer Ink Catridge." Eriol chuckled, "He knows I need them. Very well done, Li." Eriol smirked as he took the last gift, "From Sakura-chan…"
He tore opened the wrapper and smiled, examining the bottle of stars, "Wow…" Nakuru squealed, "WOW, INDEED!"
Eriol was about to say something when the doorbell rung. Nakuru instantly jumped up and got the door and let out an enormous squeal.
"TOMOYO-CHAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!! KAWAIIIIIII DESUUUUUUUUUU!"
Eriol instantly stood up, turning around, "Daidouji-san?"
Nakuru opened the door to allow the heiress of the wealthy family to step in, revealing a sweet-smiling lady, "Happy birthday, Hiiragizawa-kun!"
Eriol quickly ran over to Tomoyo, "It's really you, Daidouji-san?" Tomoyo beamed, nodding, "I'm sorry I did not make it just now. I was still at choir practice. Gomen nasai." Eriol shook his head, "Iie. It's very nice of you to come over after a long day at school. Come in, Daidouji-san."
Nakuru smiled as she stepped back into the kitchen, noting that she was not wanted around. After all, she had always thought those two looked damn awfully well together.
Tomoyo nodded as she stepped in. "Wow….!" She said in awe as she looked around, "The last time I came here, it was beautiful! Now, it's double the beauty!" She gushed as she stepped forward, "I love it here, Hiiragizawa-kun!"
Eriol smiled, "Arigatou gozaimasu, Daidouji-san. I'm sorry, though. The food all has already been taken by the rest." Tomoyo shook her head, turning around, smiling, "Daijoubu."
"Have you eaten your dinner?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo smiled, "Iie. But I'm not hungry." Eriol shook his head, "Then you must eat! It's not very nice to skip meals!" Tomoyo giggled, eyes twinkling, "Then I guess I have no choice to say 'hai', ne?"

The stars rose up above into the clouds as the sun soon descended into its own home hidden away from the planet. The moonlight shone entrancingly across the thousand ripples of the sea, reflecting a beautiful color upon a certain garden in a manor.
"Daidouji-san, how have you been doing these few days?" Eriol asked as he faced Tomoyo, both sitted at the swings of his beautiful garden. Tomoyo smiled, "I've been very fine, Hiiragizawa-kun. And anyway," Her eyes twinkled, "It seems as though we have known each other for a long time now. Maybe you should start calling me Tomoyo." Eriol laughed, "Only if you call me Eriol."
Tomoyo smiled, "Then it's a deal then, Hiira—" Tomoyo giggled, shaking her head, "Eriol-kun." Eriol chuckled, "Deal, Tomoyo-san. How's the competition going along?" Tomoyo nodded, "It's fine. But I'm feeling a little nervous. I'm only a student singer in Tomoeda Elementary competing against the older students. I doubt I can win."
Eriol smiled, "You will. I believe in you." Tomoyo smiled back, "Arigatou gozaimasu."
Silence as the two pushed their swings up, letting the wind take their mind into their own world.
"It's really weird, though. I've never known you well enough when I was in Tomoeda. All alone, I guessed I was too absorb in training Sakura's powers to even care about making friends." Eriol said, looking at Tomoyo, "So tell me about yourself, Tomoyo-san."
Tomoyo giggled, "What do you want to know, Eriol-kun?" Eriol smiled softly, "Your hobbies, your ambition, your dreams…"
Tomoyo smiled, "Hobbies…? I'm always changing them. But I like singing. You know that, Eriol-kun." Eriol beamed, "Hai." "Ambition…? As long as I am someone successful, I guess anything is ok." Tomoyo continued, "Dreams…I have lots of 'em."
Tomoyo then smiled, "But one of my craziest dream was to watch a star fall from the sky." Eriol raised an eyebrow, "Really?" Tomoyo nodded, "It's crazy but I really wanted to see that happen. It's like I've been waiting for 12 years of my life and nothing happens…"
Tomoyo looked up to the skies filled with motionless stars that twinkled. She suddenly blinked.
What was that? Did she saw a star actually moved?
And then it happened.
It streaked past the skies, a bolt from the blue as it drifted past thousand night stars, leaving a trail of stardust behind.
Tomoyo gaped as she looked on, cativated by the wonderful rare sight.
"Didn't that just happen?"
Tomoyo looked at Eriol, still stunned, "D-don't tell me…" She then started giggling, "You caused that to happen?" Eriol smiled, "Hey, don't forget I'm a sorcerer, too."
Tomoyo smiled gently as she looked up again, "Arigatou gozaimasu, Eriol-kun…"
Eriol nodded as he watched Tomoyo looking up to the skies, still fascinated by the event. He watched her smile as she watched the stars…How purely angelic…
Tomoyo then looked back down at Eriol who was staring at her.
He inwardly gulped. BUSTED!
Tomoyo then smiled, "Today's your birthday…I almost forgot." She opened her backpack and took out a nicely wrapped box, "Happy birthday, Eriol-kun…"
Eriol smiled, taking the box, "Arigatou…" Tomoyo frowned, "You're not going to open it?" Eriol raised an eyebrow, "You want me to open it now?" Tomoyo nodded, "Why not?"
Eriol chuckled, "Fine. I'm almost dying to do that." Eriol looked at the wrapped box before opening it carefully.
He held his breath…
A music box?
With careful fingers, he opened the cover of the beautiful black music box and smiled, eyes softening as his fingers touched the piano sitted grandly on the red rug, a harmonious melody flowing out from it.
Yasashisa no Tane.
"Do you…D-Do you like it?"
Eriol smiled, looking back down at Tomoyo whose face was anxious about his response. What if he didn't like it one bit? What if he didn't find it nice? What if—
"I love it." Was all he replied, eyes smiling, "Arigatou gozaimasu, Tomoyo-san."
Tomoyo beamed, "Really?" Eriol nodded sincerely, "Really." Eriol stared down at the music box in his hands, "Yasashisa no Tane…You still remembered the song we did together?" Eriol asked softly, looking at Tomoyo fondly.
Tomoyo smiled, "Hai…" Eriol smiled, "Me, too…"
Silence as the melody still continued to play.
"Tomoyo-san?"
Tomoyo smiled, looking at Eriol, "Nan de?" Eriol beamed, "Arigatou gozaimasu. You have given me the best birthday present I have received in my entire life."
Tomoyo lowered down her head, flushing slightly at the compliment, "Doitashi mashite…"
Tomoyo looked up again, smiling, "In anyway, happy birthday, Eriol-kun…"
Eriol smiled as he hopped off the swing, walking in front of Tomoyo's as he kneeled down before her, looking into her amethyst eyes.
And before she could say anything, his lips met hers and shortly retreated after that. Tomoyo gaped dumbly, "W-What was…What was that?"
Eriol smiled, brushing her hair out of her eyes, "Thank you, Tomoyo-san." Tomoyo flushed heavily, "Why thank me?"
"For making this the best day in my life…Arigatou gozaimasu, Tomoyo-san." Eriol answered, he himself blushing hotly.
Tomoyo smiled, still flushing, "It's nothing at all…" Eriol looked at her tenderly, "Of course it's something…Thank you for the effort for coming all the way here to give me this wonderful gift and for celebrating my birthday with me."
Tomoyo giggled, "If it makes you happy, I'm happy, too. Happy birthday, Eriol-kun…"
Eriol smiled as he took her hands, leaning in again before sealing the night with a sweet and everlasting lovely kiss.
Up and way high above, a thousand stars twinkled high, the moon swallowing the clouds with its brightly-lit rays.
Somewhere in this planet, a guardian by the name of Nakuru Akizuki and Spinel Sun peeped out of a certain window, watching this wonderful event.
And started giggling.
"SUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
