Here's an idea, I got from something
we had at my school. Hope you like it! ^^ If someone could be so kind,
as to tell me the Japanese names of Sakura's girl friends, I would be much
obliged. They look rather odd when the main characters have Japanese names
and they don't. Please work with me. Thanx '^^.
Our group - meaning Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol, have grown up quite a bit, and are now in their 12th year of highschool (which in Calif. means senior year.) They're all the top students in their league, Sakura and Tomoyo holding the title for their school in tennis, Syaoran and Eriol winning every cup for their soccer team. But, today, things will be just a tiny bit more interesting then most...
" Will all students please report to the courtyard immediately. Rally time!" The voice of Nikki blared over the speaker. She was the newly elected school president, and the first goal of hers was to fulfilled today. Beside her, Chelsea and Rika smiled knowingly. Being part of the Board, had its advantages.
About 10 minutes
later, all the school was gathered around the courtyard, right in front
of the school library. The windows of the library were covered with blackout
paper, mysterious. Sakura and Tomoyo sat down, and their first thoughts
were to find all their friends, specifically Eriol and Syaoran. Meilin
was the first they found. She sat with her group of popular friends, laughing
and giggling about who know's what, though Sakura could've guessed. Meilin's
eyes flickered, and she gave Sakura a look of venomous victory, obviously
saying that she'd succeeded more in life then her.
The next to be
spotted was Zachary, with his little fan-club of freshman hanging on his
every word. Sakura shook her head.
" He'll never learn." Whispered Tomoyo.
Sakura continued to scan the courtyard, but there was no sign of Syaoran, or Eriol. She sighed sadly, then turned as Nikki cleared her throat into the microphone.
" Hey! This is your president Nikki, live, to bring you are school's very first, annual,....." Everyone leaned forward," SENIOR AUCTION!!!"
Sakura rubbed her ear wearily, aware of a ringing.
" Hope you lucky ladies and gents out there brought cash, because today," Nikki laughed slyly," We've picked out some of the handsomest, and most gorgeous, guys and girls you've ever seen!..."
Everyone was listening now.
"...To be auctioned off, to do whatever you want...for one....entire...school...DAY!!!"
A cheer went up from the crowds, followed by a murmur, as guys and girls alike whispered excitedly over who would be the ones. Nikki waited for silence.
" Now, to introduce our first pairs..."
The first five pairs were girls, all of which were auctioned off at a mere $20 ( I don't have a symbol for Japanese : | ). The next three, singular, were guys and they sold off for a little more, $35. But, the next pair was what got everyone.
" And now, for our piece de resistance,..." Two figures immerged from the shadowy library entrance," Syaoran and ERIOL!"
Sakura, Tomoyo, and Meilin were all agape. Sakura most of all. Tomoyo recovered easily, and raised her hand, along with about 70 others.
" 10!"
" 30!"
" 50!" Everyone
looked to see who that was. Meilin! Hands lowered.
" 150!" More
heads turned, and more hands dropped down. Tomoyo grinned.
" 250!" Meilin,
in her joy to win, pulled out money she was saving.
" You just try
and beat me." Tomoyo grinned; being rich had its advantages." 500!"
The race was on between these two wits of determination, with Sakura just gaping. It continued to rise, the price going higher and higher.
" 650!" Tomoyo
cried.
" 700!" Meilin
gasped.
Tomoyo fished around, but to her surprise found only 650 dollars in her pocket. How could that be? What had happened?
" The stand is 700, is there a higher bid?"
Syaoran watched in horror, Eriol as well, as Meilin grinned in obvious triumph. Sakura was aghast. Nikki was obviously hesitant to give the two away to such an obviously wrong choice, and looked to Tomoyo for help.
" Any higher bets?"
She insisted.
" Just get on
with it!" Meilin shouted.
Tomoyo looked about desperately, but no one offered help. Sakura suddenly bolted upright and fled from the scene, much to Syaoran's pained eyes.
" Going once..." Nikki tried her best to stall, but everyone waited.
Tomoyo sighed in defeat. It was as disgrace to the Daidouji name!
" Going twice....." Nikki held her voice....waiting. Waiting...
^^ Don't you guys just hate me for this? Its just this thing I have with cliffhangers....I'm sure I've got anvils, and hammers raised near my head. I have just written my death statement, and I'm very impressed with its works.
