Wizard and The Princess
Ch. 2
"Spinel, have you brought your book to my room?"
The winged creature answered, "Yes, Master. I will it read in your room after they start their activities. What time Ruby Moon's class will come?"
"Soon, I think. They are preparing all their need to filming. But, it took quite a while. Seems like they have a lot of things to bring up here," he walked to the front door. "Sakura-san and her friends will come too, Spinel, her best friend," the bell from the front door ringed, "Daidouji-san, has just arrived. You may hide yourself if you want."
"Daidouji-san is… the one who always record the Card Mistress, isn't she?"
Eriol nods and smiles when he was walking to the front door. Spinel noticed his master expression changes slightly. "Weren't you came home from her house a week ago or so, Master?"
His blue eyes are looking at Spinel Sun, a bit suspicious, "Yes, I was just drunk a tea with her after we finished swimming at the water park."
"I see."
"What are you trying to say, Spinel?"
The sun guardian flies above his right shoulder. "Nothing, you seems different when talking about her, Master."
"Observant as always," He smiles before his guardian let out a smirk then laying on his shoulder without moving. Eriol open the door and face the amethysts-eyes girl with ponytail hairstyles. "Konnichiwa, Daidouji-san."
Tomoyo smiles, "Konnichiwa, Hiiragizawa-kun. Ah," she notices the blue winged cat-like on his shoulder, "Suppi-chan, konnichiwa."
"Please, come inside," he said. They both enter and he closed the door. "Ah, this is for you, I made it by myself. Hopefully, it will suit your taste," she gives him the big box white of cake she made last night. Eriol accepts it with thanks. Tomoyo looks around the house. "What a nice house, Hiiragizawa-kun. So comfortable and elegant."
Eriol walks beside her to guide her to the dining room because the living room and such will be use for the movie filming. "Thank you, Daidouji-san. How about we drink a tea while waiting for the others? Sakura-san is not here yet. Her brother and his classmates are still preparing at their school before coming here. I think they will come soon."
"Oh, sure, Hiiragizawa-kun. Uhm," she looks a bit doubtful.
The boy smiles to her, "Yes? Is there something you want to tell me, Daidouji-san?"
"I'm inviting Li-kun to come here, do you think it's alright if he is coming too?"
His smile is not fading as he nods, "Of course, nothing to worry."
She lets out a sigh in relief, "Thank you. I'm sorry I didn't ask you first."
"Don't mention it," he enters the dining room. "You may sit first, Daidouji-san. I will prepare the tea." However, Tomoyo is not doing as Eriol said. She puts her make up bag on the floor while taking the big white box from Eriol's hand. "I will help you. I will cut the cake so we can taste it while waiting. How about it, Hiiragizawa-kun?"
Eriol agrees by nodding. He gave her the small plates for their slices, then pouring the tea in blue tea cups. Eriol put the tea on the dining table when asking, "did you get any trouble when looking for this house?"
"Not much, the map you gave us was helpful," she smiles, putting two slices of cake to the small plate before put one on his side who was now sitting in front of her. "Douzo."
He thanks her before trying the cake. Tomoyo is looking at him intensely and a bit nervous. She keeps silent until he smiles to her and said that it was good. "I'm glad to hear that," she said in relief, "You're so good at cooking so I'm not sure mine will be good enough for you."
"You should not underestimate yourself, Daidouji-san," he smiles gently at her. "You are more than you are thinking."
"Hiiragizawa-kun, you overestimate me," she blushed a bit when smiling.
"Wouldn't you believe in me?"
He just smiles at her who is staring at him. Considering if he was teasing her or truly telling the truth. Either one or another. The next second, she sighs before saying, "Hai, hai, you win today."
The boy chuckled, "Don't look like that, Daidouji-san. It's just a payback for last week. We are even, then?"
"I guess," both of them giggling together. Definetely forgotten that Spinel still with them. It was understandable for Tomoyo who does not mind Spinel so much since she doesn't know the truth and thought Spinel is just a plush toy. But, for Eriol. His master. Spinel didn't know if his master still remember whether he is there or not. The sun guardian looks at both of them who enjoy each other company as they are talking and sometimes laughing. He couldn't say, however he prefers how warm his master's aura since the little girl came.
"Have you heard? Naoko-chan joined the competition with your magic shop story as her inspiration," said the little girl.
Eriol smiles, "I wish she can win the competition with my story."
"Me too, but I haven't read it. She won't let us till she win the competition, it makes me curious."
"Don't worry, I believe she will win."
"Is that so?"
Eriol nods and just by looking at him, Tomoyo feels that what he said is true although she didn't know the solid reason to think that. It's mysterious, like when she saw his mature expression last week. There is something about him that really different from her other classmates or any boy she knew.

"Ok, Class, today we will discuss about our performance for the art festival," said Terada, the homeroom teacher.
"What will we gonna do this year?" Sakura asked excitedly towards her bestfriend. Tomoyo also share her excitement, "Whatever it is, I'll make you the cutest, Sakura-chan," then she daydreams about Sakura in various outfit handmade by her.
The Cardcaptor and chinese boy behind her only sweatdrop looking at Tomoyo. Eriol just smile and asking, "What this class has done for last year on art festival?"
Both Sakura and Li turn their attention to Eriol before their face became crimson. Tomoyo is giggling when she saw them and answering Eriol's question, "We performed a play. Sleeping beauty. Li-kun was the princess and Sakura-chan was the prince."
"It must be good," Eriol nods to them while Li is mumbling that he didn't want to remember nor to do it again this year. "And what was your role last year, Daidouji-san?"
"Oh, I was the narrator."
The homeroom teacher got their attention again. "Last week, I've got good news that one of my student won a writing competition," the whole class turn their head to Naoko who is smiling," Congratulations, Yanagisawa-san." Terada smiles proudly and claps followed by his students who congratulates her too. Tomoyo takes a glint towards Eriol while they are clapping. She remembers his word about Naoko winning the competition. "It's like what you said," she said to him. Eriol nods, "I knew she got the talent." Agreeing with him, she assumed he said Naoko will win because he believed on her talent like Tomoyo did.
"To appreciate her work, I suggest we performed a play based on the story she won. What do you think, class?" Mostly agree with the teacher suggestion. So, it has been decided they will do a play again this year. Terada-sensei asked Naoko to explain the synopsis about the story in front of their class. After she's done, she adds, "Becaue we have time limit, I'll rewrite the script for the play so it won't be long."
"The story really interesting," Sakura smiles to the other three who sit around her. Tomoyo and Eriol are smiling too and nodding as their agree sign. Li thought it was interesting but he is mumbling, "But, still there is one princess..."
The class comments about how good the story and they can't wait to do the play so their homeroom teacher started the lottery to chose the role. Li raise his hand. "Yes, Li-kun? Is something the matter?" Asked the teacher. The chinese boy suggesst, "We should do two lottery. One for the male role and other for female role."
"Looks like Li-kun try not to get the role as a princess again," said Yamazaki and the class laughing including their teacher. "You shouldn't worry about that, Li-kun. You were good last year," said Terada-sensei. Li's face turning red as he keep saying that he doesn't want it happen again. The class laughs once more before they pity him so Naoko and the teacher agree with him. It leaves him sigh in relief. The lottery begins. One by one come to the front and take one folded paper which has the role in it. The teacher wrote the name and the role after Naoko watches every student took the lottery inside a bowl since she will direct the act and script writer for this event.
Li and Sakura sigh in relief when they got the supporting role. Chiharu was shocked with her role when Yamazaki seems confident with his. Rika got the role which has less scene but quite important. They still not have the main protagonists as the title named after them. When it's Eriol and Tomoyo's turn to take the folded paper, she asked Naoko and their teacher, "Can I be in charge of the costume, Naoko-chan, Sensei?"
"I have no reason to say no, Daidouji. I'll look forward to it," the teacher smiles gently, he knew his student talent since Tomoyo was the one who made the costume last year. Naoko nods and smiles excitedly, "Definitely, Tomoyo-chan. I can't wait! Now, show me what role you are gonna play? And you too, Hiiragizawa-kun. It all thanks to the story you told me."
They smile while unfolded the paper when Eriol said, "No, it's all because of you are good, Yanagisawa-san."
Naoko look at their papers and her eyes sparkling, "You two will be great."
"Eh?"
Tomoyo blinked. They saw their teacher wrote their names and their roles...
