Me: Sorry for the long gap between the last update and this one

Me: Sorry for the long gap between the last update and this one! I hope you're not mad at me…

Syaoran: You suck blazing.

Me: (sighs) How many times have I heard that?

Syaoran: How should I know? I'm not like you. I don't keep count of useless things…

Me: WHAT?? ME?? Anyway, enjoy the new chapter!

'Tomoyo! Tomoyo! Guess what??' Sakura sounded very excited as she called Tomoyo that night.

'Sakura slow down! What happened?'

'I found out how I can change back…without the wishing well!!'

'Really? How?' Tomoyo was starting to sound interested.

'Listen! Wishing wells aren't the only things that grant wishes are they?'

'They aren't?' asked Tomoyo sounding confused.

'Look outside your window and think!'

'Sakura! I don't have time for guessing games! Could you hurry up and tell me already?'

'Oh alright…I thought you were much smarter than this Tomo-'

'SAKURA!!'

'Alright! I'll tell you. If I wish to change back into a girl, it'll happen!'

'But...what'll you wish with?'

'Simple…a wishing star!!'

Sakura sounded pretty excited by her discovery. Tomoyo on the other hand sweat dropped because she knew what was coming –

'So Tomoyo?' Sakura asked impatiently. 'What do you think? Isn't it brilliant?'

'Umm…you see Sakura…there's just one teensy weensy problem.'

'Huh? What's that?'

'What are the chances that you'll find a wishing star as soon as you look outside the window? And also, how are you sure that it'll work?'

'Oh.' was all Sakura said before she lapsed into an uncomfortable silence.

'Umm…Sakura can we talk about this tomorrow?'

'Huh? Oh…yeah. Bye.'

'Bye.'

Tomoyo felt a little sad as she clicked off. Sakura had sounded so hopeful and happy! Of course, it was mainly her own fault that she had ended up as a boy. But Tomoyo wasn't gonna tell her that.

Is there any way for Sakura to change back into a girl? Tomoyo wondered.

Sakura frowned a little as she clicked off. She walked up to her window and opened it. She stared at the sky and thought, Maybe Tomoyo was right…maybe, I'll be stuck like this forever…

She felt bad thinking that she had to live the rest of her life as Sakurano. She gasped,

That's right! I'll be Sakurano! I'll never be plain old Sakura again. What about Touya and father? What'll I tell them? And what about everyone else?

A tear fell from her eye as she considered all this. She wiped away and frowned in a determined manner.

No. There is NO way I am gonna let that happen! Never. I'd never forgive myself if that happened. I'll stay up all night and see if there's a wishing star if I have to but I will not, I repeat, will NOT stay the rest of my life as a boy!!

With such thoughts, she pulled up a chair and sat next to the wndow, looking outside; determined not to fall asleep.

'Sakurano. Get up.' Touya shook his head exasperatedly before shouting, 'WAKE UP!!'

'AAAAAH!' Sakura screamed as she woke up to find her brother's glaring face inches from her own.

'You're getting late for school.' He pointed at the clock. 'Didn't you set your alarm clock?'

'Ummm…no, I must've forgotten.' She grinned sheepishly.

'Anyway, why were you sleeping in a chair near the window? Was the bed too hard?' Touya remarked sarcastically.

'No of course not! It's just…I er…' Sakura mumbled.

'Well there's no time for explanations. Hurry up and get ready!' Touya ordered.

Touya's much more meaner these days…Sakura grumbled inwardly. But, that's only cuz now I'm Sakurano and not Sakura right?

'SAKURANO!'

Sakura gulped. 'Coming!'

Tomoyo looked surprised to Sakura coming in late to class. She gave her a quizzical look as Sakura plopped down in her seat, looking really tired.

Later during lunch break,

'Sakura? What's wrong? You look like you haven't slept at all last night! Did I say something to upset you?' Tomoyo added anxiously.

'No of course not! It wasn't you Tomoyo…it was just…I thought if I stayed up long enough, I might be able to see a wishing star…but, eventually I fell asleep…' she laughed a little pathetically at the last statement.

'Sakura…don't worry too much!' Tomoyo smiled and held her hands. 'We'll find a way, I'm sure we will!'

Suddenly, they realized that a lot of eyes were on them. Of course, since Sakura was now a boy, people thought it was weird for him to be holding hands with Tomoyo.

Tomoyo gasped and whispered to Sakura, 'We'll talk after school.'

'Kay.' Sakura whispered back as she watched Tomoyo rush back to class.

Little did they know that their little hand-holding moment had started rumors.

A girl even had the nerve to go up to Tomoyo and ask her,

'Are you like, going out with that new kid?'

'WHAT…?? N-no of course not! We-we're just friends…' Tomoyo blushed terribly. This wasn't good!

'Right…' the girl drawled.

'No seriously! I'm telling the truth!'

'Then why were you two holding hands at lunch?' she asked suspiciously.

'That was…er…Sakura was just feeling sad…'

'Sakura?'

'I- I mean Sakurano of course!' Tomoyo cursed herself inwardly for forgetting.

The girl frowned and walked off. That girl…was the editor of the school magazine.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

'HOE!' Sakura gasped as she stared at the new edition of the school magazine.

'What is it?' Tomoyo frowned.

'Look.' Sakura handed it to her.

Tomoyo stared at the 'SCHOOL ROMANCE' section and covered her mouth.

'GRADE EIGHT GIRL DATING HER BEST FRIEND'S COUSIN'

'WHAT….??'
