A/N: Hello everybody! I hope you are doing just fine. Here's a oneshot for you once again from CCS. I didn't write this for the site though. There was a writing competition on p l a y a n i m e . c o m (just take out the spaces) and Brittany and another friend of mine convinced me to try it. That's when I decided to give it a shot. I dunno if I won though. I kinda did it simply for fun. I hope you enjoy this oneshot of mine...really. PS: The last chapter of Magically Destined will be up ASAP...which means when my writer's block is gone (sweat drops).

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS. CLAMP does.

Water Fun: A Summer School Job

"I'm bored. Watching grass grow is more exciting! I think I'm actually missing school."

I rolled my eyes at my best friend rambling on and on about how bored he was. Why call me to the park for this? "School just closed today. Summer has barely started as yet?"

"And it's boring me to death already. You'd think summer knew how to start." Syaoran slumped in the swing next to mine.

"Why don't you find some event or something to do then? There'll be loads of things to do now that summer has arrived."

"Do you know of any we can go to then, Sakura?"

I pondered momentarily to myself. However nothing came to mind so I pretended to continue thinking to myself.

"You have no idea whatsoever do you?"

I sweat dropped. "No, I don't."

Syaoran sighed again. "So then we're right back to square one."

"I guess we are."

"Syaoran! Sakura! There you are!" It was Tomoyo running towards us. She stopped in front of me, panting.

"I've been looking everywhere for you two! Where have you been?"

"We were here in the park just talking. You could've called us on our cell phones." Syaoran raised an eyebrow at Tomoyo. Her squirming showed that she'd never thought about that.

Tomoyo started stuttering. "I…well…ok! I didn't think about that! Make me feel stupid why don't ya!"

"You've already done that yourself." I gotta hand it to him. He's good at annoying people. Tomoyo was practically fuming.

She stopped and took a deep breath while counting to ten…backwards…slowly with me and Syaoran watching, amused. She smiled again. "Ok, I wanted ask you two a favor."

I grew curious. "What favor?"

"I got a summer job at the music school I attend. However, they want some people to help teach the little kids how to swim and…I kinda volunteered you."

I stared at her. "You…WHAT?"

"No way," Syaoran replied.

Tomoyo frowned. "Please? I volunteered you two because I know you've done some lifeguard work and are experts at swimming. Plus, Sakura, you get to work with little children. Don't you enjoy being around them?"

"Yes but, you volunteered us without even asking us first. It's so sudden!"

She desperately went down on her knees. "Pretty please? The pay is great if you accept it. I'm sure your dad won't mind, as you'd have something to do." That's when she pulled out her weapon.

I groaned. "Please, not the puppy eyes." However, those two lavender pools were relentless. I gave in. "Fine, you win!"

"Yay!" She jumped back up and hugged me tight. We then both turned on Syaoran and eyed him down like he was the prey and we were the predators.

His amber eyes grew wide. "No…don't tell me you're about to do that…"

Both of us did the puppy eyes at the same time. "Pretty please, Syaoran?" we both said simultaneously.

He gazed at us for a minute or two before he gave in. "Fine! I'll do it! You two owe me."

We both jumped up and hugged Syaoran. "Thank you so much," Tomoyo replied.

"Yea," I said. "Besides, I'm sure that you won't regret it."


"Sakura, I thought you said I wouldn't regret it."

"Really," I replied. Sarcasm was dripping from my voice. "That must have been another Sakura talking to you."

At the moment, kids ages five through ten ran around screaming and laughing. I was trying to calm down a little girl named Rika who was crying because she was scared of the water and anyone who wasn't her mommy.

Syaoran was trying to pull Chiharu off of Takashi. He called her a coward that couldn't swim and ended up being a coward himself as Chiharu knocked the snot out of him. It was certainly chaos.

And to think the class only started minutes ago.

'I must remind myself to kill Tomoyo later for this.' I thought to myself. I looked up at the lifeguard, Eriol, who was there for safety. He was sitting there amused rather than trying to help. 'I must remind myself to beat Eriol silly after the kids leave also. Who cares if that's Tomoyo's boyfriend?'

Finally, Rika calmed down and was in my arms. Syaoran pulled Chiharu off and five minutes later we started.

"Hello!" I started. "My name's Sakura and this is my friend Syaoran. We're gonna teach you the basics of swimming."

Syaoran took over. "Today we'll show you how to float. Any questions?"

Takashi raised his hand. Surprisingly, he didn't seem bothered by the whooping given to him. "Yes Takashi?"

"Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Ooooooooooooo…" The kids started giggling, including Rika.

Eriol laughed hard. "Talk about priceless! Wait until I tell Tomoyo this!"

I tried to hide my blushing face. Talk about embarrassing. Syaoran was glaring at Eriol intensely. He was embarrassed also; a slight blush could be seen on his face. "Eriol…not another word from you unless we need your help."

Eriol gulped and went quiet.

I smiled at Takashi. "No, we're not. If no one else has any questions let's head towards the pool everyone!"

Almost everyone screamed joyfully as they ran towards the pool and into the shallow end. Rika clung on to me for dear life. I sighed. "This is gonna be a long day, Syaoran."

Syaoran scoffed. "More like a long summer if you ask me."

"You're the one who said you were bored and had nothing to do. Regret complaining now huh?"

"Shut up."


"How was your first day on the job?" Tomoyo grinned. We had returned to the music school that afternoon and were exhausted.

I smiled at her, irritation clear in my emerald eyes. "Let's just say you're lucky we like the water and had nothing better to do for the summer."

Syaoran nodded. "You got that right. They're like wild animals!"

Tomoyo giggled. "They're kids so of course they'd be hyper. That should've been expected."

I frowned. "I knew they would be but…not this much."

She smiled at us. "Honestly though, did you regret agreeing to work here?"

I paused to think about it, remembering shy Rika and her joy when she realized that she wouldn't sink. I then remembered how Chiharu beat up Takashi like that which now seemed a bit funny. Other children came to my mind and I smiled.

I turned to Syaoran who was smiling also and replied, "No, surprisingly I didn't. Did you Syaoran?"

"Not one bit."

"Great. I'm glad." Tomoyo smiled mischievously. "Eriol told me a little kid asked if you two were dating. How cute is that!" We blushed for the second time that day and said simultaneously while glaring:

"Shut up."

THE END
