The sweltering heat of Tokyo city was getting to Sakura Kinomoto's head.

"Tomoyo!", she called out to her long-haired best friend.

"Hai, Sakura?", the black head enquired.

"This heat is getting unbearable! Can't we take a rest? Please?", the auburn head pleaded.

"Sakura, you KNOW that we simply HAVE to move this stuff into our dorm room!"

Yes, the two best friends had enrolled into Tokyo University, one for the journalism course and the other for a course in fashion designing.

However, the June month, apparently wasn't the best month to begin the year. The first year students started university a month late to allow them to adjust to a life of boarding. A week after moving in, the classes would begin.

Due to family circumstances, Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji were forced to shift in half a week late. Meaning, they had only three days to acquaint themselves with university life.

Currently, the two were busily removing their bags from the back of the cab. A whole year at hostel, meant tons of clothes, home food, books, hobby materials, and the inevitable stuffed toys.

No wonder the two had been removing bag after bag for the past fifteen minutes!

Finally, having thrown the last of their bags into the room, Tomoyo paid the cab driver and the two retired into the soft luxury of their two beds.

Looking around, Sakura commented, "Ne, Tomoyo, this room seems to be full of interesting things!"

Which, in a way, was true. That is, if you were into hidden niches in the wall and false cupboard bottoms.

"Sakura…all I can think of now, is discovering the canteen and foyer area."

Sakura simply turned to her buddy, and smiled. Typical Tomoyo…a very people-person. It was no news to anyone, that the canteen and the attached seating area, known as the foyer, were the most popular haunts of uni students.

"As soon as we fix this room with our stuff, Moyo!", Sakura chimed.



Tomoyo sighed.

"You know what, Sakura? You were right…this heat IS unbearable! What say, we head to the caff and get ourselves something COOOLD, and THEN, we fix this up?"

Sakura burst into bubbled laughter.

"As you like it, Moyo!", she agreed. "This heat IS unbearable!"

The two negotiated their way through the bags on the floor and walked out of the room, and resumed their walk down the corridor.

Removing the beginner's University Map from the back-pocket of her jeans, Sakura looked up the canteen.

"Take the next right, then the second left, walk down the grand stairs, and there you shall see, thy glimpse of Paradise!", Sakura exclaimed with a flourish.

Tomoyo laughed as she followed Sakura's directions, and finally, there they were, at the glass doors of the cafeteria. The caff was overflowing with people, despite the heat. But then again, it WAS one of the few air-conditioned areas on the campus!

Opening the doors, Sakura and Tomoyo walked into the foyer, and were immediately greeted with strains of Avril Lavigne singing "Falling Down" through the speakers.

"Oh my gosh! This has got to be THE best caff I've ever seen!", Sakura exclaimed. Tomoyo was too wonderstruck to reply.

In the centre of the foyer, a group of people were dancing to the music, while at the various irregularly strewn tables, groups of people were either chatting, completing assignments, studying or helping each other out.

Food was the mainstay at almost every table, as people gorged on it, while they worked.

Sakura and Tomoyo walked down the foyer, around the dancing people, and made their way through the glass doors of the in-built canteen.

The canteen itself, offered a huge variety of foodstuffs, such as Chinese, Indian, Sandwiches, Juices, Full Lunches, coffee, tea, soft drinks, and amazingly, housed a dessert corner!

Everything was being sold at subsidized student prices, and as far as they could make out, the quality appeared to be amazing.

"Moyo…I'm SOOO never leaving this uni!"

"I couldn't agree more with you Kura!"



Finally gathering their senses, the girls picked up a cold coffee each, and made their way to the foyer again. Looking around for a table to sit at, they finally spotted one with three girls, and two chairs to spare. Walking over, they asked whether the chairs were free, and the three girls nodded, with smiles stretching across their faces.

"Hi there! I'm Tomoyo Daidouji! And this, is my friend Sakura Kinomoto!", Tomoyo held out her free hand.

Sakura did the same, and smiled as the three shook hands with them.

Setting their drinks on the table, they listened to the introductions.

A pretty , short haired, red head, spoke up first."Hi! Did you just shift in?"

Tomoyo and Sakura nodded in the affirmative.

"Welll, welcome then! I'm Yumiko Rushi, and this", she pointed to the long blonde-hair girl," is Samiko, my fraternal twin!"

Samiko smiled at them happily, her brown eyes twinkling.

Finally, the black haired girl spoke up. She had electric green highlights in her long hair, and eyes that were so brown, they almost looked red.

"Hi there, girls! I'm Meiling Li! My cousin brother has enrolled with me, along with his rather annoying best friend!", she said, making a funny face.

Sakura and Tomoyo were enthralled by the trio.

"Looks like all of you have some family studying here!", Sakura said."Well, Tomo and I aren't far behind! We are cousin sisters! But more of best friends, more often than not!"

Tomoyo merely nodded her agreement on account of the cold coffee swirling in her mouth.

"Funny", Samiko agreed, "Meiling says Eriol is Syaoran's distant cousin, as well!"

Sakura and Tomoyo looked confusedly at the trio.

"Oh!", Yumiko caught on," We're so sorry! Syaoran is Meiling's cousin, and Eriol is his best friend! And no, they are rather god company, no matter what Meiling says!"

Samiko nodded too, enthusiastically.

Meiling simply laughed through all of this.

"Whatever you guys say! I've grown up with them, and I can't help but loathe their company at times!"



"Oh Meiling! You have no idea how lucky you are to have cousin brothers! Yumiko and I have none at all!"

"I have one; a real brother", Sakura cut in," and I can tell you, I totally understand how Meiling feels!"

Tomoyo simply laughed before hitting upon a conclusion.

"Oh Sakura! You're out of the clutches of your brother now! You can ACUALLY get a boyfriend!"

"Huh?", chorused Meiling, Samiko and Yumiko.

"Sakura's brother", Tomoyo explained," is a tad too overprotective of her. He never trusts guys around her. Needless to say, all of Kura's previous boyfriends have been scared off, or in more persistent cases, beaten off!"

"Ouch!", Meiling whispered. "A little extreme, don't cha think?"

"Oh, it was never too serious", Tomoyo hurriedly explained."Generally, a warning did the job for him!"

Yumiko and Samiko had, by now, dissolved into fits of laughter. Soon, the other three joined in as well, and the table was shaking with their uncontrollable laughter. If one finally stopped, they looked at the others laughing and began laughing at the sight. The cycle went on and on, till finally, the five were clutching their sides in splitting pain.

"G-guys", Meiling began," I think this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship!"

Samiki, Yumiko, Sakura and Tomoyo nodded their heads in between the spasms of pain.
