Note: I don't own anything, CLAMP owns all the characters unless an original character is used. Story based off of Shiritsu Horitsuba Gakuen, a kind school/campus where all our favorite TRC/xxxHoLic characters attend. That includes the newly-exchange student Syaoran, whom Sakura has a crush on. Clumsy Watanuki likes the charming Himawari. Doumeki is the silent but friendly friend. Kurogane and Fai are the gym and science teachers, respectively. Yuuko is head of the school and enjoys mischief, and sake x3. If you like, please review and new chapters will be added!

In the boys' class, during a lecture

Watanuki (whispering): Syaoran-kun..

Syaoran (whispering): Yes, Watanuki-kun?

Watanuki (wh): By any chance, did you see Himawari this morning?

Syaoran (wh): She was in the class with Sakura-chan as usual. Why?

Watanuki (wh): No reason, just wondering what they're up to.

Doumeki (wh): You're sure nosy.

Watanuki: SHUT UP DOUMEKI!

Fai: What was that Kimihiro?

Watanuki: S-sorry Sensei. It won't happen again.

Fai: No matter, just try and pay attention, it's for your next lab.

Syaoran: Sorry.

Watanuki: You didn't do anything..

Fai: Well, now that we have gotten today's interruption out of the way.

Yuuko-sensei wanted us all to meet in the gym for an important announcement.

Syaoran (thinking): I wonder if it's what the Mokona were talking about this morning?

In the gym, full of chatter because the whole school is present

Kurogane: YO! All you kids, SHUT UP!

(silence)

Kurogane: Now that you've all quiet down, Yuuko-sensei wanted me to-

(Yuuko enters from a nearby window)

Kurogane: The window again, don't you ever use the door like normal people lady?!

Yuuko: Ah ah ah...now we don't want to get into trouble do we? There's always an exception to every rule. Besides, I helped to write the rules.

Maybe I should bend a few more...

Kurogane: (clears throat) As I was saying...Yuuko-sensei wanted me to-

Yuuko: Be informed of the next school trip we're all having.

Kurogane (under his breath): Why make me memorize the speech then if

she's going to announce it herself?

Fai (under his breath): 'Cause it's funny. You know, to hear you practicing in the showers..

Kurogane: HOW DID YOU-

Yuuko: (clears throat) Now who's making a ruckus huh?

Kurogane: PLEASE carry on...

Yuuko: As I was saying before MANY interruptions (Kurogane grunts), our next school trip will be a camping trip up in the mountains. Now all of you will be randomly paired up with another. And you will have to endure three days on your own as a test of your, well endurance. If, and I repeat, if there is any "funny" stuff between the couple, especially if your hormones think for you, there will be dire consequences because us three will be watching for any funny activity. And if you're under the influence of sake, then all is well. Now when you entered the gym, you were each given a badge with a certain number on it. Find the person with the same number and that person will be your partner. Any questions? No? Good. You may go.

(The gym is filled with chatter again as the kids spread out)

(Syaoran looks at his own, a number 7)

Syaoran (thinking): I wonder who is my partner. Half of the girls in the school want to be mine...I just hope that it's her...but let's not get our hopes up now.

Watanuki (praying): Please be Himawari and not Doumeki. Please be Himawari and not Doumeki. Please be Himawari and not Doumeki.

Doumeki (looking over Watanuki's shoulders): Yo.

Watanuki: WHAT? Can't you see I'm trying to find my partner.

Doumeki: Take your time.

(Watanuki looks down at his number: 13)

Watanuki: I wonder who else has a 13..

Doumeki: (clears his throat)

Watanuki: Oh please, what number do YOU have? It can't possible be a-

(Watanuki stops in midsentence and shouts out)

Watanuki: NO! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! OF ALL THE PEOPLE, WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU?!

Doumeki: I know.

Syaoran (laughing nervously): Have fun you two. (He leaves)

Syaoran: I wonder who it is (spots Himawari). Kunogi-san, have you found your partner yet?

Himawari: Yes, it's Tomoyo. Who's yours?

Syaoran: I'm not sure at the moment. Do you know anyone who has a 7?

Himawari: I have a hunch, but I'll let you figure it out. It's not that hard..well maybe, for you two (giggles)

Sakura (running up to them): Syaoran-kun. Himawari-chan. Have you found your partners yet? I have a- (stares at Syaoran's number)

Himawari: I'll leave now. (Leaves)

Syaoran: Can you help me find mine?

Sakura (blushing): Y-you don't have to. (shows him her number, a 7)

Syaoran (also blushing): Oh, well, that was, um, fast.

Sakura (still blushing): Yeah. Listen, did Yuuko say when the trip was going to be?

Syaoran: It's going to be tomorrow. You'd think she'd give us some time to pack...why? I, uh, you could ask for a different partner you know.

Sakura: W-what? Why?

Syaoran (blushing again): I just thought you'd like to be with someone else.

Sakura (under her breath): There's no one else I'd rather be with.

Syaoran: What was that?

Sakura: Huh? Nothing! There's really no reason for me to switch partners. And besides, now you could help me with those math and chem problems when we're together.

(Saying this made her turn a violent shade of red and she looked down)

Syaoran: Sure thing. Do you still want me to help you at break? Or can you wait until later?

Sakura: I just remembered, I have to tell Himawari something. Sorry Syaoran-kun. I promise to be there tomorrow.

Syaoran: Sure thing. Well, talk to you later.

Sakura: Talk to you later. (she waves as he leaves)

(Himawari and Tomoyo come out of nowhere)

Himawari: Isn't this great? I knew something like this would happen!!

Tomoyo: Now you two can get it on!

Sakura (blushing): W-what? What are you talking about? We haven't even started dating yet!

Tomoyo (giggling): I meant now you two can finally, or hopefully, express your feelings to each other.

Himawari: She's right you know. This is your chance Sakura! You've been waiting for him to say something for a while now. You can finally have some time alone and really, really tell him how you feel.

Sakura: But of all the people, why did it have to be him?

Tomoyo: Er, wanna know something?

Sakura: You two, couldn't have possibly anything to do with this could you?!

Himawari: We, well, remember last week when we had cleanup duty together?

Sakura (remembering): Yes, and?

Tomoyo: Well, we were working in Yuuko-sensei's office. And she kind of spilled the beans with us.

Sakura: And?

Himawari: And we sort of asked for her to put certain people with certain other people.

Sakura: WHAT?

Tomoyo: Whoa, chill. We only asked for us and you.

Sakura: I'll repeat myself, "WHAT?!"

Himawari: Calm down Sakura. Besides, you should thank us. Of course, Yuuko-sensei is a kind and reasonable lady when she's not influenced by sake. But then again, I don't see the difference. And she didn't ask us anything else.

Sakura: I don't know if I should thank you two, or kill you two.

Tomoyo: Well, you should do the first option.

Sakura: But don't you two realize? Now I have to spend a whole three days with him!

Himawari: How is that bad?

Sakura: What color is my face now?

Tomoyo: Deep red, purple?

Sakura: Of course it is! Can you imagine it getting ANY deeper?

Himawari: Of course we can.

Tomoyo: Hey, can I record you two while you're, um bonding and such?

Sakura: ABSOLUTELY NOT. I don't think you two comprehend the situation at the moment. I-have-to-be-with-him-for-three-whole-days!!

Himawari: Once again, how is that bad?

Sakura: He-he could, oh for goodness sakes. Privacy! Personal boundaries.

Tomoyo: But it's not like you two will be sharing the same bed, or shower...sheesh. And you'll get in trouble if "funny" stuff happens

Himawari: Sakura, I think you're overreacting again young lady.

Sakura: I will be with him when he's in the room, when he's sleeping, when he's eating, when he's flossing his teeth! Do you know how AWKWARD that will be?

Tomoyo: I don't see why you have to make such a big deal Sakura. Other couples are fine with the whole thing. How come you're not?

Himawari: And besides, all those things you said about doing together with. You already spend lots of time with him in school. It can only be an improvement.

Sakura: How so?

Tomoyo: Well, you go to the same school. You eat lunch with him, and you even accompany him to the bathroom sometimes.

Sakura: But you know I don't go in with him!

Himawari: Of course you don't, and you won't be doing that either when you're together!

Tomoyo: This conversation ends here. Someone's coming.

(Watanuki comes in)

Watanuki: Hi girls. Could I have a word with Tomoyo-chan for a moment?

Tomoyo: Sure thing, Watanuki-kun. See you two later! (leaves)

Sakura: It can't get any worse.

Himawari: Of course it's not. It's just getting better

Sakura (scowling): You're lucky you and Tomoyo are my best friends.

Himawari: Yup, we're honored. And only best friends would rearrange a perfect opportunity of not just one day, but THREE for their fellow friend and her crush to be together. You know Sakura, when you're married and have ten children, you should really be grateful to us.

Sakura: Whatever, I need to go and prepare myself for the worst.

Himawari: You mean the best!

Sakura: Like I said, whatever. (she leaves)
