Chapter 2: Dinner
The two girls stared at each other blankly. They did not know what to do with the food, since they were not very good cooks.
Suddenly, Tomoyo saw something which caught her eye. Smiling, she called for Sakura's attention.
"How about we use that?" Tomoyo pointed at the book near the counter; it was a cook book for dummies, the one that Sakura bought when her maid ran off.
Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed deeply. 'Why hadn't I thought about that? Oh, I should really make these pre-wedding jitters go away, or else I'll go nuts! Well, maybe not now, but soon...'
"Ok! Let's do it Tomoyo!" the soon-to-be Mrs. Eriol Hiiragisawa said cheerfully.
They started preparing the dishes, from the appetizer to the dessert. The whole afternoon was just enough for the two, yup, just enough for them to burn the house down.
They chatted while preparing. Their first try was really a mess, for Sakura almost burned the entire kitchen, making them both have a burnt look, even Tomoyo almost burned her beautiful ebony hair.
Laughter filled the air, making both of them lose track of time.
"Sakura, it's time to get serious." Tomoyo commented as she looked at her watch for a moment.
"Yes, you're right, now let's get back to work."
Time ticked by so fast, and after all of their hard work, they finally finished everything that they needed to do.
'Oh I hope Eriol would be happy when he sees these, after all I went through a lot of trouble just for this dinner! If he doesn't like these, I swear I'll burn him to death!'
Sakura said as smoke came out from her ears.
"Ah, Sakura? Are you all right?" Tomoyo asked her friend.
Noticing what was happening to her, she let out an evil laugh.
"Oh yes, I'm fine Tomoyo-darling." Sakura continued her laugh, making Tomoyo feel uneasy.
'Oh, what a girl! She's definitely one girl that I need to look after. She resembles the girl that Syaoran told me about a few years ago, his first true love. Oh well, it can't be Sakura, because she did not even remember Syaoran, and Syaoran did not remember her too. I mustn't jump to conclusions.' Tomoyo sighed in assurance that her lover was not going to dump her.
"Sakura, let me help you get dressed up."
"Ok, let's go upstairs."
"Um... Tomoyo, can I ask you something?" Sakura asked while walking up the stairs.
"Sure."
"How did you meet Li Syaoran?"
"Mmm…" Tomoyo pondered the thought for a second, and she started to speak.
"Actually, we met five years ago. It was that time, at the airport, and he was just arriving from Hong Kong. And I was also doing the same thing. After that…"
"Go on, Tomoyo." Sakura urged her to go on further.
"After that, we met, and started going out, and eventually we became lovers."
"Oh so that's what happened, hey, you have a nice fairy tale there ya know!"
"Tell me, Sakura, is it right for me to be envying somebody who is not acknowledged by your loved one?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, just forget about it."
"Well, all right."
Tomoyo fixed Sakura's hair, making it nice and smooth. Next, she did Sakura's dress, which was especially made by Tomoyo herself.
"Now that's what I call a real goddess!" Tomoyo smiled at her newest creation. – Soon-to-be Mrs. Hiiragisawa, in her most dazzling dinner dress.
"Thanks, Tomoyo!" Sakura smiled and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Hey look! Eriol's here! Quick! Get ready."
The ebony haired girl swiftly went down the stairs and met Eriol at the door. "Hey!" was all she could say. She was so stunned to see Eriol in a black tuxedo, hair combed nicely and his eyes, his dark blue eyes made her want to take him away from Sakura.
"Is Sakura there?" Eriol asked.
"Yes, come in." she led him into the living room and told Eriol to wait for Sakura who would be there shortly.
After a few moments, Sakura appeared in front of him. She was so beautiful in the dress Tomoyo especially made for her, her eyes were gleaming with happiness; her face was full of life. And her smile made Eriol's world turn into paradise.
"Hi, Eriol!" Sakura said as she went down and kissed Eriol on the lips.
"Come on! Let's have dinner!" Sakura pulled Eriol and made him come with her to the garden.
Behind the door, Tomoyo stood there, a frown forming on her face.
"You're lucky, Sakura. I wish Syaoran would be like Eriol…"
Sakura was laughing hard with Eriol, they were talking about their childhood love, and eventually, their future.
"How many kids would you like?" Sakura asked out of curiosity.
"Mmm.. how about six? So that we can have a basketball team, and a muse." Eriol answered childishly.
"That many? HOE!"
"Just kidding, two are enough."
"You're such a joker."
"You know..." Eriol inched closer to Sakura, making her blush so much. "… You are so beautiful tonight."
"Thank you… Come on let's eat!"
They ate in silence at first, Sakura was so nervous about the food that she decided not to talk too much. Sensing that Eriol liked the food that she cooked, Sakura started talking again.
The two chatted while eating, teasing each other, tickling each other, and laughing all the way.
"How did you find the food?"
"Great!"
"You know, I have something that I wanted to give you."
He reached his pockets, and pulled out a beautiful box, the color of it was dark blue, almost like Eriol's own hair.
He then went to Sakura's side, making her gasp in admiration.
"Eriol…" was all she could utter.
"Shhh… Listen. For some reason…" he knelt in front of her and held her hand.
"I felt that I had to do this. Sakura, you are going to be my wife soon, and so I give you this." Eriol opened the box and there it was, the most beautiful ring in the world.
"This was handed down from generation to generation, and now as the nearing Mrs. Eriol Hiiragisawa, accept this as token of my love."
"Oh Eriol…" She reached for his face, and kissed him passionately.
