Mansion:
"Tommy, I'm sorry for asking you so many times." Sakura said. Tomoyo stared at her then smiled gently. She gently shook her head.
"You're wrong. I'm the one who should apologize for snapping at you. Sakura, I'm sorry." Tomoyo said, smiling gently. Sakura, then, hugged her.
"Sorry, Tommy, and apology accepted." Sakura said, smiling. Then, they giggled.
"Come on, we should do our homework's." Tomoyo said.
After an hour of doing their homework's, Tomoyo planned something.
"Ne, 'Kura, what do you think of Syaoran?" Tomoyo teased. Sakura blushed.
"Well, he's nice and he's also cute." Sakura said, blushing. Tomoyo nodded, knowingly. Then, she saddens.
"'Kura, then, what do you think of Eriol?" Tomoyo asked, smiling sadly. Sakura stopped blushing.
"Umm, he's nice, I guess." Sakura said.
"That's it? You don't think him as a crush?" Tomoyo asked.
"No, I don't; besides, you know that I like Li-kun, right?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo nodded.
"You know, you two will make a cute couple." Tomoyo said, dreamingly. Sakura blushed.
"Well, you and Eriol-kun make a cute couple, too." Sakura said. Tomoyo stopped.
"'Kura, I don't think it's possible." Tomoyo said. Sakura looked at her.
"Why, give him a chance, Tommy." Sakura said.
"Well, if I were to love him, I don't think he will love me back." Tomoyo said.
"You mean you like him?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo blushed and then she nodded slowly.
"Well, we can't do anything. Someone already caught his interests and I'm not even close to her beauty." Tomoyo said, faking a smile. Sakura decided to change the subject.
"Tommy, do you like Li-kun?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo laughed.
"Of course I like him, he's a good friend of mine and I treat him as s brother." Tomoyo said, smiling.
"Ha-ha, of course, what am I thinking?" Sakura asked.
"Could it be, you're jealous a while ago?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura blushed.
"Look like I home run, ne?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura nodded.
"'Kura, there's no need to be jealous of me. He's just being over-protective to me like Touya to you." Tomoyo said. She nodded.
"Ha-ha, we'll Tommy, rest." Sakura said. Tomoyo blinked.
"What?" Tomoyo asked.
"I said rest. I know that you're tired. Good night." Sakura said. Tomoyo lay down the sofa and the sleep immediately took over her. Sakura got a blanket and she tucked Tomoyo in. She, then, proceed to her room.
Next day:
"'Kura, wakey, wakey, you have to wake up now." Tomoyo said, tickling her. Sakura laughed.
"Fine, fine, I'm getting up." Sakura said, giggling. Tomoyo giggled, too.
"After you take a bath, go to the kitchen, I made your favorite." Tomoyo said. Sakura squealed.
"Pancake, Tommy, I love you so much!" Sakura exclaimed. Tomoyo laughed. After 5 minutes or so, Sakura came down.
"I'll just re-heat it." Tomoyo said. Sakura sat down and sniffing the aroma.
"Here, eat it before it gets cold." Tomoyo said.
"What about you?" Sakura asked.
"I just finished a while ago." Tomoyo said.
"I see." Sakura said.
"'Kura, I'll be waiting you outside, 'kay?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura nodded.
"Yah, maybe you should go to your garden first so you won't be bored." Sakura suggested.
"I like that." Tomoyo said. Then, she disappears from Sakura's sight. Sakura sighed.
-Why do I have a hunch that Tommy has a disease? - Sakura thought. Sakura put the plated on the sink and she got out.
"Tommy, come on, we have to go." Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded. She run towards Sakura.
"Come on." Tomoyo said, getting inside of the limo.
School gate:
They got out of the car. Syaoran, Eriol and Meilin is currently waiting for them. Eriol assists Sakura while Syaoran and Meilin assist Tomoyo.
"Good morning, Syao and Mei" Tomoyo said, smiling. Syaoran smiled.
"Morning, Tommy." Syaoran and Meilin said, smiling. Tomoyo whispered on Syaoran.
"Come on, Syao; go to 'Kura unless you want Eriol steals her." Tomoyo teased. He blushed.
"Wha-what are you talking about?" Syaoran asked. Tomoyo gave him a 'don't give me that shit' stare. He sighed.
"Mei, take care of her." Syaoran said. Meilin and Tomoyo giggled.
"Sakura, I'll accompany you." Syaoran said. Sakura blushed.
"Hoe, umm, sure, why not." Sakura said, blushing. Eriol glared at him.
"Why don't you just take care of Tommy, I'll handle Sakura-san." Eriol said, annoyed. Syaoran smirked.
"Too late, she's in the front door now." Syaoran said, smirking.
"Come on, Sakura, Hiiragizawa will catch up." Syaoran said, smiling at her. Sakura blushed more. She nodded.
"Do you have a fever, Sakura?" Syaoran asked, worried. She shook her head.
"I don't have fever, Syaoran-kun, aah, I mean Li-kun." Sakura said, blushing. He smiled.
"No, it's okay, call me Syaoran." He said. She nodded, blushing.
"Are, where's Eriol-kun?" Sakura asked. He looked behind.
"I don't know." Syaoran said.
"Hmm, well, come on." Sakura said. He nodded.
Classroom:
"Syao and 'Kura is not here yet?" Meilin asked. Tomoyo nodded.
"Well, it's still early; I'll just look for them." Tomoyo said. Meilin nodded. As she's about to open the door, Eriol bumped into her. They collided. Eriol is on top of Tomoyo. Nether made a move; they just stared at each other. The only thing that made them go back to reality is when Syaoran opened the door. They gaped at Eriol and Tomoyo.
"What are the two of you doing?" Syaoran asked. Sakura giggled.
"No, Syao, it's not what you think, he just bumped into me." Tomoyo said. Sakura giggled more.
"Really, then, why aren't the two of you moving?" Syaoran asked. Eriol immediately got up as he offer Tomoyo a hand. He pulled her up.
"Sorry." Eriol said, blushing.
"No, it's also my fault." Tomoyo said. Syaoran looked at the two of them.
"God, just sit up already." Syaoran said. They blushed.
"Tommy, come with me after school, 'kay?" Syaoran asked, patting her head. She nodded. Sakura look confused but she just shrugged it.
"Good morning, class." Terada-sensei said.
"Good morning, sensei." They all greeted.
"I have an important announcement. This day, we will be having a buddy system." He said. One girl raised her hand.
"What do you mean, sensei?" The girl asked.
"Well, we have an activity that only two person will be needed. So, I paired you up by two's. Here are the partners.
"Hiiragizawa and Daidouji, Li-kun and Kinomoto, Yamazaki and Mihara, Li-san and Yanagizawa, Sasaki and Yuuta….." The sensei said.
-So, my partner is Tommy, huh, it's going to be awkward- Eriol thought.
-I bet Eriol want Sakura to be his partner. Well, I'm happy I'm with him beside this is my only chance to get him to know better. GOSH, it'll be awkward between us- Tomoyo thought.
"Umm, Tommy, maybe, umm, you should, umm, face here?" Eriol stuttered.
-I can't believe I stuttered- Eriol thought. Both didn't mutter anything and it's because it's so AWKWARD.
"Tommy, about earlier, I'm sorry." Eriol said. She looked at him then she suddenly blushed. She nodded. Eriol smiled then he looked at Sakura. Tomoyo stopped blushing but just smiled sadly.
"You really like her very much, don't you?" Tomoyo asked. He looked at her.
"Yeah, well, she's very cute, nice and she's also kind." Eriol said.
"Did you confess to her already?" Tomoyo asked. He shook his head.
"Not yet, besides, I'm afraid of rejection." Eriol said.
"You do know that Syaoran like her, right?" Tomoyo asked. He nodded.
"It's obvious. I think, Sakura-san is a little bit naïve." Eriol commented. She laughed.
"You're right. She's definitely naïve." She said, smiling. Eriol suddenly blushed.
-Wha- Why am I blushing? God, I'm so confused- Eriol thought. Tomoyo stopped laughing.
"What's wrong, Eriol?" Tomoyo asked.
"It's nothing, anyway, Tommy, what are your likes?" Eriol asked.
"Well, I like to sew, I like to sing, I like to record every single move of Sakura, and I like to piano." She said. He nodded.
"How about you, what are your likes?" Tomoyo asked.
"I like cherry blossoms, I like nice girl, I, too, like piano." Eriol said.
"Hmm, you're so mysterious, aren't you?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well, you can say that." Eriol said, laughing.
"Waa, this is the first time I saw you laughing." Tomoyo said. She, too, laughed.
"Anyway, you should laugh often, too." Eriol said. She stared at him then a minute later, she laughed, again.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Eriol asked. She laughed hard.
"You could have seen your face when I stared at you, it's a Kodak moment." She said, laughing. Eriol can't help it, so, he also laughed.
"Wait, why are you laughing?" Tomoyo asked, giggling.
"I don't know, somehow, you make me laugh." Eriol said. Tomoyo blushed.
"I… make you laugh?" Tomoyo asked, blushing. He nodded, clueless.
"Ha-ha, you know, I feel warm around you, and I don't even know why." Eriol said. She blushed.
"I, too, don't know about it." She said, smiling.
Syaoran and Sakura:
"Syaoran-kun, do you have an idea why they're laughing?" Sakura said. Syaoran looked at her.
"I don't know but looks like I have to thanks him for making Tommy laugh." Syaoran said. Sakura nodded.
"Yeah, it's been a while when she laughed so hard and it seems that she's enjoying it." Sakura said. He nodded.
"Anyway, Sakura, do you like someone?" Syaoran said, blushing like a tomato. Sakura blushed, too, and she nodded.
"Is he someone I know?" Syaoran asked.
-Of course, he knows himself, right- Sakura thought. She nodded.
"Hmm, is he precious to you?" Syaoran asked.
"Of course, he's very precious to me but he only takes his attention to me whenever Tommy is around." Sakura said, blushing.
-Could it be, Eriol? - Syaoran thought.
"Hmm, okay, then why don't you say it to him?" Syaoran asked.
"Well, I'm afraid of rejection." Sakura said.
"I'm sure he'll like you." Syaoran said. She shook her head.
"How about you, do you have someone you like?" Sakura asked.
"Well, yeah, and she's cheerful." Syaoran said, blushing and smiling. Sakura smiled sadly.
Tomoyo and Eriol:
"How about you, your crush, I mean." Eriol said.
"Well, he doesn't like me; he likes someone else." Tomoyo said. He nodded.
"Don't worry; you have Li-kun, and me." Eriol said. She blushed.
"Well, of course, I want to have someone who loves me back." Tomoyo said. He smiled charmingly.
"We love you." Eriol said.
"Yeah, well, your love is much like a sisterly love because you like Sakura, right?" Tomoyo teased. He smiled.
"Are, why didn't you blushed?" Tomoyo asked, tilting her head, making her look so cute. He blushed at the sight.
"Ha-ha, don't worry, I'm just teasing you." Tomoyo said. He laughed, again.
"Maybe you want to come with me tomorrow at the park?" Eriol asked.
"Is it a date?" Tomoyo teased. Eriol blushed.
"Don't take it seriously, I'm just teasing you." Tomoyo said, giggling. He blushed.
"Ha-ha, so will you come with me?" Eriol asked.
"Sure but you're supposed to be with 'kura." Tomoyo said.
"Hmm, just think of it as a friendly date." Eriol said, smiling. She nodded, smiling.
