Me: Right. Sorry to everyone who thinks my chapters are too short! I'll definitely make this chapter longer. Thanks for the advice Mysterious Angel Girl! Also thanks to Dai-chan 7 and StarAngel02 for reviewing and adding my story to story alert.
Syaoran: See? Even the readers know how stupid you are!
Me: …
Syaoran: Hello?
Sakurano: She's giving you the silent treatment.
Syaoran: Fine. Two can play at one game!
Sakurano: Anyway we all know that blazing doesn't own CCS so I'm not gonna say it.
'You know dad, there's something weird about that Sakurano.' Remarked Touya as he made breakfast.
'Why do you say that Touya?' asked his dad.
'Well, for one thing, she…I mean he…' Touya started and suddenly gasped out loud.
He faced his dad and said, 'Listen, what if…he is Sakura?'
His dad stared at him for a minute and then burst out laughing.
'Touya! Honestly, do you have something against that poor boy? How in the world can he be Sakura? He's nothing like her. And besides,' said his dad, 'what are the odds that Sakura somehow magically turned into a boy version of herself?'
Little did he know that he had hit the nail on the head.

'Sakura let me have a look you're taking too long!' whined Tomoyo.
'Have some patience will you?' replied Sakura irritably as she quickly flipped through the telephone directory, trying to find Mikan Sakuragi's address.
Tomoyo sighed and thought about the past few days. Man have things changed a lot…
First Sakura turns into a boy, then that weird wishing well, then the list, and now this girl called Mik-
'TOMOYO! Are you listening? Seriously…' said Sakura rolling her eyes.
'I'm sorry what were you saying?' asked Tomoyo innocently.
'I was saying that I found Mikan's address!' said Sakura trying not to lose her temper.
'Oh ok let's go!' said Tomoyo cheerfully.
Sakura stared at her best friend and thought she's really weird sometimes even though she's my best friend. First she's really depressed, then she kinda spaces out and now she's so ecstatic! Honestly…
'Sakura is this it?' asked Tomoyo as they stepped in front of a large white mansion.
'I-I guess…' replied Sakura, a little stunned by the size of the house.
Wow this Mikan must be a billionaire!
They both hesitated near the front door. They gave each other uncomfortable looks.
Finally Sakura spoke up,
'Er….Tomoyo, why don't you go first? Eh?'
'Umm…well… how 'bout you?' stammered Tomoyo, equally nervous.
Sakura took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. Someone's gotta do it…
A security guard opened it and asked them gruffly, 'What do you want?'
'We…er…we're looking for a Mikan Sakuragi here…' said Tomoyo meekly.
'Miss Mikan? What do you have to do with her?' he asked eyeing them both suspiciously.
'Well that's a rather confidential matter if you don't mind. And we're not going to scream it out for the whole world to hear. Now if you'll just excuse us…' said Sakura firmly remembering for the first time in a long while that she was now a boy and could be rude.
The guard looked rather startled and let them in without a word.
'Nice move!' Tomoyo whispered to Sakura.
Sakura simply grinned as they went inside. But the moment they set foot into the big mansion, the grin faded away, because clearly, they had no idea which room to go into!
It was such a big mansion that it was next to impossible to try finding which room Mikan was in. Tomoyo looked helplessly at Sakura as those hoping for a solution. Sakura on the other hand, was sadly out of ideas.
Suddenly they heard a shattering noise and before they knew it, someone screamed and collided into both of them. Yet Sakura was the only one who fell. She groaned and opened her eyes and met the gaze of a bleary eyed little girl.
'Mikan!' she yelled without thinking.
Mikan screamed and jumped off Sakura's chest.
'H-how do you now my name?' she stammered in fright.
'It's nothing sweetie. We're here to…to play with you!' Tomoyo quickly made up.
Unfortunately, this earned her an are-you-out-of-your-mind? look from Sakura.
She returned the look with a this-is-the-best-I-could-do-on-short-notice! look.
'Well what are you waiting for? Let's go play!' Said Mikan in excitement.
Sakura groaned as both of them got helplessly pulled along by the energetic little seven-year-old. She led them into her room which was…huge! It was a bright pink and there was hardly enough space to breathe, as there were so many toys!
'So, what are your names?' asked Mikan in a business-like manner.
'My name is Sakura…no! Sakurano! Yeah…' said Sakura hurriedly as she had momentarily forgotten that she was not a girl anymore.
Mikan looked strangely at her before turning to Tomoyo who told her name to Mikan.
'Why don't we have a tea-party?' said Tomoyo who got a sudden brainwave.
'Sure! That would be fun! I'll get the tea-set…' said Mikan as she excitedly ran off.
Sakura glared at Tomoyo who gave her a trust-me look.
Mikan came back in less than a minute and laid out the tea table.
'Care for some tea Mademoiselle Tomoyo?' she said in her most lady-like voice as she poured 'fake tea' (which was actually water) into Tomoyo's cup.
'Don't mind if I do.' Said Tomoyo with a smile.
'What about you Monsieur Sakurano?' she asked as she approached Sakura in a rather tentative manner.
'Er…I'll pass…' she said as Tomoyo glared at her, 'I-I mean…fine.'
Mikan then poured some tea for herself and opened her mouth to speak when she was interrupted by Tomoyo (who was good at small talk) who said,
'Tell me do you like bunnies?'
'I don't like bunnies. I LOVE EM!' screamed Mikan.
'Do you have any?'
'Yeah I have one. Her name's Mikan too!'
'Where'd you get her?'
'Well, mommy wouldn't get me one cause she said I already had too many toys. So one day, I saw a wishing well!'
Both of them sat up alert at this point.
'And what did you wish for Mikan?' asked Sakura speaking up for the first time.
'A bunny. Duh!' said Mikan with a laugh.
'And…it just came out of the well?'
'No…the next morning when I woke up, it was suddenly there in my room, in a little box! I've had her ever since…'
'I see…' said Tomoyo thoughtfully.
'Well Mikan it was nice playing with you but I'm afraid we'll have to go now.' Said Sakura trying to sound sad when in reality she was jumping for joy inside.
'Aw…so soon?' Mikan whined.
'We'll come soon!' said Tomoyo as both of them quickly rushed out of the room and in a matter of minutes, out of the house.
They continued walking in silence for a while. Finally, unable to stand it any longer, Sakura broke the silence and said,
'How do you get such ideas?'
Tomoyo chuckled and replied,
'Call it instinct.'
Me: Whew! This took a long time to type. And dear readers, I will continue to update this story though probably not as often as I used to due to the fact that I'm starting another story and I'll have to manage both of them at the same time.
Sakurano: Wow! Those reviews really got to your head! You actually wrote a chapter that isn't short!
Me: I know. Amazing ain't it?
Sakurano: (sweat drops) Well I wouldn't advise getting too full of yourself…
