Yay! Second Chapter! SuperSpecialAwsome thanks to Syaoran Dante, Mysterious Angel Girl and taby16 who gave me my first reviews EVER:) Anyways, here's the second chappy :3 Enjoy!


It had been 30 minutes since the bus ride had started and excitement was still in the air. So far, everyone was on 53 bottles of sake on the walls for the second time so far. In the very back of bus 1, was Sakura and Tomoyo on one seat with Syaoran and Meiling in front of them. Sakura was staring out the window, Tomoyo was talking to Kero, who was sitting in between the two unseen. Meiling was listening to her mp3 while singing along and Syaoran was reading a book(Sakura also noticed the earplugs he was wearing).

So far, out the window, Sakura could see patches of green fields which were sometimes inhabited by cows. "Wow. Everything is so beautiful! I hope we have a good time at the cottage. It's going to be fun sharing a cottage with Meiling, Tomoyo and Syaoran." Sakura smiled to herself as she thought about the activites that would be going on. "At least now, Kero can freely go around. I hope Syaoran has a good time. After all, he's stuck in a cottage with three girls. I wonder if-"

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

Sakura's thoughts were interrupted by a VERY loud snore. The whole bus went silent and turned in the direction of the noise. There, beside Meiling, was Syaoran. His head was resting on the window beside him, his entire body shaking everytime the bus went over a bump. Clearly, this didn't seem to bother him, as he continued sleeping and snoring.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

The whole bus burst into laughter. "God, luckily I'M not sharing a cottage with him!" somebody yelled and the bus went into another fit of giggles. Suddenly, Meiling got an idea. "Hey, Sakura, do you have a marker?"

Sakura grinned evilly. "Why, of course I do Meiling!" Soon, everyone on the bus was switching seats to take a turn at writing something on Syaoran. Syaoran twitched occasionally, but other than that, showed no signs of waking up. When everyone was done, both of Syaoran's arms and his face and neck were covered in either writing or doodles. Everyone agreed not to tell him and let him find out of his own.

The rest of the bus ride was rather peaceful once the excitement died down. Sakura looked out the window once more. She had a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach, a warning of some kind. Sakura thought twice and decided that it was probably her imagination. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a book and started to read.


Finally, the bus ride was over. Slowly but surely, everyone got off the bus onto the dirt road and stretched. Looking around, everyone was in awe. In front of them, was a bunch of small houses. The whole place was like a forest, with about 15 trees surrounding each small cottage. The door to a nearby one opened and a short, chubby man with bright pink cheeks. He wore safari-like attire with hiking boots and greeted them happily. "Welcome everyone! Did you all have a nice drive here?" A few awake students nodded politely, but mostly, everyone was still too dazed to react to someone so cheerful. "GREAT!", he boomed pleasantly, "I am Mr. Walkins! I own this entire area! Follow me and I'll give you the GRAND tour!" He walked over to Ms. Mizuki, said something in a hushed voice to which she returned with a smile. With another great smile, he turned back to the students and signaled them to follow him along the dirt road.

In all, there was a dinning hall, where they would go the eat every meal, a park, a snack store, a beach supply store, a few other shops, a forest clearing, which was going to be used as meeting grounds for activities and a large beach. The tour only took about an hour, considering how close together everything was. Mr. Walkins also explained that there are other people staying in the cottages so they shouldn't make too much noise. After quite a bit of walking around, they all got the keys to their cottages.

"What number is our cottage, Sakura?" Tomoyo walked over to Sakura, with Meiling and Syaoran close behind.

"207! Here you go!" Sakura gave her one of the four copies of the keys. "There's one for each of your guys too!" She walked over to give Meiling and Syaoran their keys. "Mr. Walkins told me that out cottage is about 5 cottages that way" Sakura pointed back the way they had just come.

"Okay! Syaoran and I will meet you there! I want to go check out the shops! C'mon!" Meiling grabbed Syaoran's arm and prepared herself.

"What are yo-" Syaoran was cut off my Meiling suddenly sprinting off towards the beach without warning, keeping Syaoran close behind her.

Tomoyo and Sakura watched them and sweatdropped. "They'll be back soon I'm sure!" Tomoyo gave an unsure smile that Sakura returned, equally as unsure.

When Tomoyo and Sakura got to their cottage, they couldn't believe their eyes. The place was amazing! It was a lot roomier than it looked from the outside. Each bedroom had a double bed, a small closet and a nightstand. Each room also had it's own colour. Sakura chose the pink room, Tomoyo got the blue room, and they saved the green and red rooms for Syaoran and Meiling. The cottage itself had one bathrooms, a small kitchen and a separate room with two couches and a T.V. Also, their back door lead to the beach so it was perfect.

Sakura flopped her bag of clothes onto her bed and suddenly something shot out of it.

"YOU REALLY TOOK YOUR TIME, DIDN'T YOU?" For such a small body, Kero had a huge mouth. The little stuffed toy sized 'beast' flew right up to Sakura's face to show his anger.

Sakura, stunned by his sudden outburst, took a small step back. "I'm sorry, Kero! I forgot! I was so caught up with the cottage and..." Sakura looked down.

"YOU FORGOT?" Kero was shocked. "I was on the bus with you! How could you have forgotten me in your bag that fast?"

"I'm sorry! I promise to give you lots of food for dinner tonight!" Sakura gave him a hopeful smile.

Kero seemed to think for a moment before sighing. "Fine... Make sure I get lots of dessert!"

"Deal!" Sakura smiled and started to unpack her clothes.

While Sakura and Tomoyo were unpacking, Syaoran and Meiling came back. Meiling looked satisfied with her 3 shopping bags. She excitedly told Sakura and Tomoyo about her 2 new bikinis, new sunglasses and snacks that she got at the stores. Syaoran gave them a tired look and collapsed on the couch. Tomoyo brought him a bottle of water from the fridge that he gratefully accepted.

After some more unpacking, it was time for dinner. The familiar four walked into the dinning hall. There were round tables scattered elegantly throughout the hall with lots of food on various plates in the middle. Sakura, Syaoran, Meiling and Tomoyo sat at a table with Rika and her group. They all exchanged excited stories about their bus rides, cottages, and talked about the tour. Sakura made sure to keep her end of the deal and snuck Kero lots of food in her bag. She didn't understand how Rika and the others didn't hear his loud chews, but she was happy nontheless! As their meal concluded, Ms. Mizuki gathered everyone's attention.

"Okay everyone! Tomorrow, we're going to do a treasure hunt! So get lots of rest! Your cottage mates will be your teammates! Meet at the forest clearing tomorrow at 10:00 to get your first clue. It is a competition and there will be prizes! Try not to sleep in! Dismissed!"

With that, everyone headed back to their cottages. When Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Meiling got back to their cottage, Sakura, Kero and Syaoran worked together to set up the Nintendo wii on the T.V. Tomoyo and Meiling said they hadn't finished unpacking, so they both went to their rooms.

Tomoyo had just finished putting the last of her clothes away when she heard a knock on her room door.

"Come in!"

Meiling poked her head into the room. "Do you have a minute? I need to talk."

"Yeah sure! Come in!" Tomoyo patted the bed beside her for Meiling to sit. "Are you okay? Is something wrong?" Tomoyo was concerned.

"What? Oh... Yeah I'm fine!" Meiling looked away. "I just... Don't know if I should tell you..."

"Well, tell me when you're ready. I won't force you." Tomoyo said softly with a smile. Meiling returned it.

"Okay... I was reading Syaoran's diary yesterday and he really likes Sakura." whispered Meiling in an excited voice.

"Oh?" smiled Tomoyo, "You didn't know?"

Meiling facepalmed and turned slightly red. "Shutup! Anyways, wouldn't it be really fun to get them together?" asked Meiling in her excited tone again.

Tomoyo looked away. "Um...I've been trying to do that for the past few months and..."

"WELL NOW YOU HAVE HELP FROM ME!" Meiling screamed, her face even more red than before.

There was a knock on the door, and it creaked open.

"Are you two okay?" Sakura asked innocently as she and Syaoran entered the room. "We heard screaming."

"No, it's okay. Meiling is just excited over tomorrow's treasure hunt." Tomoyo replied calmly.

"Oh yeah! The treasure hunt! I can't wait for it either! Can you Li-kun?" exclaimed Sakura who quickly turned around to face Syaoran.

"U-uh um I guess..." replied Syaoran, who was paying more attention to how close her face was to his.

"Yeah! It's going to be great! We have to do our best!" Sakura smiled to herself at the thought. "Oh yeah! We'd better get some rest. Big day tomorrow! Good night everyone!" And with that, Sakura skipped off to her room. Tomoyo and Meiling smiled at each other and told Syaoran that they were going to bed as well.

"I think I'll stay up a bit longer. The wii is set up and I'm not that tired yet. Good night though!" Syaoran gave a small smile and left the room.

"Okay goodnight!" the two girls chorused as the door shut behind him.

"So, are we going to do this?" Meiling asked turning to Tomoyo.

"Oh Yeah. Sure." Tomoyo smiled. "Let's see what will happen tomorrow. Anyways, we'd better get some rest too."

"Good thinking." Meiling stood up and headed for the door. "Goodnight."


Me: Yay! Finished Chapter two!

Sakura: When does Syaoran realize that there's writing all over him?

Me: Oh yeah...forgot about that...

Meiling: sigh How can you forget something like THAT?

Me: I-I was playing NiGHTS! It's an addicting game! Leave me alone!

Sakura and Meiling: 'Sweatdrop' Anyways, REVIEW EVERYONE!
