"Sequel to 'Christmas': Part VI"

~*Flashback*~

"Focus Sakura, please focus," said Kero.
"I'm trying my best Kero," said Sakura.
"Well, you're not trying very hard," said Kero who crossed his arms in front of her.
"Now, you're the one not letting me concentrate!"
"Fine, fine," replied Kero.
"K-K-Kero??" she said in a fright.
"Sakura? What is it?"
"It's the same thing as I thought!! I was right!!"
"Well, then let's bust this case!!"
"Not so fast there Kero," said Sakura stopping Kero from going forward.
"Now what?"
Sakura closed her eyes and tried to focus again. She didn't have much luck as someone knocked on the door.
"Coming," she said, "Touya? What are you doing here?"
"Checking up on my little sister, what else?"
"Oh ok. So, where's Yuki?"
"He's in the kitchen helping himself," said Touya as he leaned on the side of Sakura's bedroom wall.
"Oh, ok, well, I'll go downstairs and say hi," said Sakura who was just about to dash off when Touya stopped her by taking ahold of her hand.
"Whoa! Whoa!! Stop right there, kaiiju. Need to talk to you."
"Yeah, well what is it?"
"It's about that Chinese gaki."
"First he's not a gaki and second, there will be no talk about him at all. Dad made you promise that you wouldn't."
"I know that, squirt! Just wanted to ask how your relationship with him is going on?"
At first, she was in shock. She looked into his eyes to only find sincerity, and the loving nature that he always, well almost always, had towards her. "All is well," she finally blurted.
"Then why did you take such a long time to answer my question?"
"um.."
"Well, even though he is a Chinese gaki, and you think that he 'loves' you, well, you better be careful and good luck. I have a feeling that you'll need it."
With that he departed. Sakura gave a glance at the figure who was now happily chatting with the other person whom he deeply cherished and loved, Yukito. She then looked over Kero, who was looking in the same direction.
"We could be wrong Kero, we could be wrong," she sighed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Next day...

"Sakura, we have just 2 days left!!"
"I know that Syaoran, but I'm having these wierd feelings."
"Is that woman trying to do something again, please tell me what is wrong!!" panicked Syaoran.
"No, it's nothing like that...I mean, all this is making me feel angry. And you know last night..." Sakura told him the happenings of the night before (the flashback on the top) and then he replied:
"Sakura, you'rer getting wierd!! How could you doubt your brother!! He loves you and he said it yourself that even though he doesn't like me, he'll try his best to overcome the anger towards me."
"You're right. I am acting wierd! It's just that I'm confused who that girl is. Syaoran?"
"Yeah..."
"I have to tell you something..."
"Sure go ahead, and after you're done, I have something to tell you too."
"Then why don't you go first."
"Nah, that's ok. You can go ahead. I don't think you'll be way too happy after hearing my side of the story."
"Whatever you say."

She whispers soemthing into his ears, just so that no one can hear them. His reaction was getting stricter and sterner every moment. He looked at Sakura who was talking to him about...well...about...

"Sakura? You know, I've had the same kind of feeling."
"So, should we trust our instinct?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. I really have no clue."
"I think that we should. Maybe we should do it without anyone suspecting us."
"Yeah we could do that, and I have the perfect plan."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The same day...

"So? You want to go for a picnic. It is a lovely day..." asked Sakura.
"Then why didn't you go to the picnic yesterday when I wanted to go?" asked Meilin.
"Well..we do need fresh air today...and we have just one and a half days left to find that woman. So, we thought it may be a good idea to go for a picnic." said Syaoran.
"Well, you know, we do need a break. I have been so busy helping out my mom. Now that she is a little better, we could go out and have a little fun," said Tomoyo.
"Yeah...we could do that," said Meilin, " and I bet that Shiang would just love to go too. I'll go ahead and call him."
"Oh yeah...tell him that we'll go on the picnic this afternoon, 'k?" said Sakura.
"Sure," said Meilin with a smile.
"Great. Then we better go ahead and make some snacks for the day, huh?" said Tomoyo excitedly.
"Yup! And we'll get on it right away," said Sakura as she got up.
"Great and I have to go and do some work, ok? I'll meet you at 5:00 p.m.," he said as he looked at his watch.
"Ja, Syaoran!" yelled Sakura out the window. He looked back and smiled and then waved and left.
"He's the best guy in the whole world," said Sakrua dreamily. She then went to the kitchen.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In the evening...

"The weather is just perfect. It is such a lovely to see the sunset and everything," said Tomoyo.
"Yup! You got that right! It's so romantic!" said Shiang, as he looked at Meilin. She just smiled.
"Wow!! Look at the sunset, it's so magnificent. I remember the last time I saw a sunset like this, was way back when I was about 12 years old. It's been such a long time," said Sakura.
"I knew that you would love it," said Syaoran.

Suddenly, Sakura and Syaoran's attention was diverted to something else... No one else noticed anything. They were all indulged in the beauty radiated by the sun at that hour. Suddenly, all the commotion ended and the attention was then averted towards the sunset again. It was a time to remember.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
8:00 p.m.

"Wow!! That meal was delicious!!" exclaimed Shiang. He always complimented people. Everyone thought it was his hobby or something, but...they felt appreciated.
"Thanks," said Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Why don't we take a walk," asked Syaoran.
"Sure," said Sakura, " you guys want to join us?"
"Sure," all three replied.
"Great," said Syaoran.
"I'm in the mood of some good jokes. Anyone got any?" asked Sakura.
"Listen to jokes? At this time? At this place?" asked Meilin.
"Yeah...I need to get relaxed," and she whispered in Meilin's ears:' I'm scared about the mysterious woman actually.'
Meilin understood. She had a joke for them but Shiang went on first...

"Why did the chicken cross the road?" he asked.
"To go to the other side," said all of them.
"We knew that one already Shiang." said Meilin.
"Ooops! I didn't know that this riddle was so popular!"
Everyone sweatdropped.
"That's ok. Anyone got another one?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah...I got one, but it's a riddle," said Meilin reluctantly.
"That's ok. Go ahead," said Tomoyo.
"Well, here it goes...

"What is the difference between a nail and a boxer?" asked Meilin.
"Don't know..." said Shiang. Meilin looked at the others and they were shaking their heads in negation. She continued...
"Well...one get's knocked in and the other gets knocked out."
Everyone laughed. Except...
"Why are you not laughing, Meilin?" asked Tomoyo.
"Because I've heard this joke millions of times!" exclaimed Meilin.
"Ohhh..." said Tomoyo, "I have one for you," resumed Tomoyo.
"Great! Go ahead," said Sakura.
"Ok, a Dubliner was in court charged with parking his car in a restricted area. The judge asked if he had anything to say in his defense, he replied, " They shouldn't put up misleading notices! It said FINE FOR PARKING HERE!"
Everyone started laughing including Tomoyo. "This is...like...the most funniest joke that I know," said Tomoyo.

At that time, Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other and stopped laughing. They stood in front of the rest of the people and then Syaoran pointed towards Meilin and said, "It's you!!!"
Sakura looked at Syaoran in a knowing manner and said, "No Syaoran, it's not her."
Syaoran looked at her in shock and said, "What???"
"It's...it's...it's..." Sakura stuttered.
"Who??" asked Syaoran rather impatiently, "who??"
"It's..." she took a deep breathe and said, "it's all of them."
"What are you talking about?" asked Tomoyo.
"You know what we're talking about," said Syaoran, as he took out his sword and placed it in front of the trio--Shiang, Tomoyo, and Meilin.
"What are you talking about, Syaoran? Do you not like me going out with your cousin or something?" asked Shiang.
Syaoran chuckled. "Don't act all innocent! You all know what I'm talking about! Why did you do it Meilin? Why were you trying to hurt Sakura?"
"Tomoyo???!!! I just can't believe that you went on with this! And I thought that you were my best friend!!!" cried Sakura.
"What is going on???" asked Shiang.
"What do you mean??? You were part of this mystery. You all ganged up..."
Meilin cut Syaoran and said, "Syaoran! Leave him alone. He was under my spells at the time. He doesn't know what you're talking about."
Syaoran looked at her in disbelief, but when he felt something on his shoulder, he looked at his left. It was Sakura, who was shaking her head as if to say 'let him be'. He did.
Meilin resumed, "I planned all this."
"Why???" asked Syaoran.
"Ask her," Meilin said as she pointed towards Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo? What do you have to say for yourself?" asked Syaoran. Sakura at that time was sobbing and was unable to talk. Syaoran was holding her in his arms.
Tomoyo looked at her friend and sighed. She thought, 'what have I done? How could I do this to the one person that I truly love? I called her my best friend. She trusted me!!! What have I done???!!!'
She started sobbing again. Syaoran at the time was really angry. He looked stern and his voice was harsher than usual. He again asked and this time he got a reply.

"I loved Sakura. And I still do. When you guys were card capturing, I was there for her. I used to tell her that she was as good as you were. And she used to smile. And you... (she pointed towards Syaoran) you always had hatred words for her. You called her names. And I told her that you didn't mean it, and that you would learn in time. I tried my best to make you guys friends. And in the end when you did become friends, I was very happy for you. You pronounced your love for each other, to no one else but me. I was needed. I was wanted. I got the attention. You came up to me to decide what presents to give to each other. I didn't mind all that, because I cared about Sakura. I thought that this way we could be more attached than ever!!! But then, you left. Sakura could not stand without you. She wouldn't leave her bed. And when she talked, she talked about Syaoran, her Syaoran and how she loved him. She never had time for me. She then stopped calling me."

Tomoyo started sobbing. There was a long pause and no one said anything. After a while. she continued.

"I was jealous that he was getting all the attention. Then I had a plan. And I regret it, and admit that it was the worst plan ever. When you went to Hong Kong to meet Syaoran, I had a dream when this so called angel came up to me and told me that you loved me and showed me all the moments that you and I had enjoyed together. I was happy at that time, but slowly all the happiness faded, because I missed you. You sent me a Christmas present, but you never called. I sent you one too, and you didn't even acknowledge it until you came back. It was a while before you returned. One day...I came accross this ad in the newspaper."

She stopped for a while, and took a drink out of the bottle that she was carrying around with her. She moved towards the grass and sat there. She continued.

"Like I said, I am not proud of what I have done. This ad was about a training center with people who had magical skills, or for people who were of relations with someone with magic. I was curious about that institution. I thought about it and then decided that you were with magical powers and so I am your relation. Thus I would be able to get into the institution. Also, the main feature about this institute was that you could learn magic in about 3 months. I was happy that it wouldn't take me long. I got admitted in the school. The main reason I did that was so you--Sakura--would pay attention to me. I was very happy about the fact that I was in. After about 10 days of training, they taught us a spell about locomotion. You just had to tap your feet and say a spell and you were there. I wanted to come to you, but I didn't want to take a risk. I thought that you would be mad. And even then I did it. My training wasn't that much of a high quality. I said the spell and somehow, for some unknown reason, the name Meilin came out of my mouth. And I was there. Well, I wasn't there for a long while though, since I wasn't mastered in that particular spell. It was my first try. Meilin heard the crashing that was caused and she saw me. We looked at each other and boom!! I vanished again."

Meilin interrupted, "I never knew that you had magic at that time. I thought that I was seeing things cause even after the loud crash, I saw nothing. I saw that all was at place. Not a thing out of order. I thought that I was hallucinating. And particularly, I gave no heed to it, since I had recently learned a new spell and my master said that it would cost severe consequences."

Tomoyo then continued. "I saw the look in Meilin's eyes. It seemed awfully familiar. I thought that I had seen it somewhere. Afterwards, I went up to my master, that is what we call our teachers, and as I was about to ask him about something, I saw that he was teaching a new spell to the other class. I dared not disturb him, so I stopped right there, not to interrupt. My gaze suddenly went to his eyes. I saw the same thing as I saw in Meilin's eyes. The same redness, the same shining color of eyes, as were hers. I stopped and examined all the others as well. And they were all the same. When I went to class the next day, I brought a mirror with me. I looked in it afterwards and saw the same redness. I needed no more proof. At that time, I realized that Meilin was learning magic as well. I believe that she never knew that I was learning magic, and just now, she confirmed me of what I said. At that time, I took advantage of her. I called her...

~*Flashback*~

"Moshi, moshi. Meilin speaking..."
"Hey there, Meilin. Remember me???"
"Is that the video girl???"
"I knew that you'd forget my name!"
"I happen to remember all my nightmares!" said Meilin sarcastically.
"Oh yeah??? You think of me as a nightmare???"
"What is it that you want, Tomoyo???"
"Just wanted to ask you something."
"And what will that be?"
"Do you have feelings for Syaoran, still?"
"And is that the question for which you called me?? Of course!!!"
"I thought so."
"That was a total stupid question to ask! I have a whole lot of work to do."
Tomoyo didn't heed to what Meilin had just said, she then asked, "Meilin? What if I told you that you can have Syaoran all for yourself?"
"You have got to be kidding me. Not after that wicked spell that Sakura has put on him."she said sarcastically.
"What are you talking about?? Anyways...I am not kidding."
"What's the catch?"
"Something very simple."
"Oh yeah...and what is that?"
"You keep the boy and I keep the girl. Is that understood?"
"Yeah...but I didn't even make a deal, since I don't even know your plan."
"You'll know in time. I just need you to affirm my suggestion."
"And how do I know that you're not bluffing, or that this is some kind of trap???"
"Let's see..." Tomoyo then smiles a wicked and evil smile, "let's keep it this way. You accept my offer and I keep your secret that you are learning magic."
"W-w-w-what??? How...how...how do you know about that???" said a nervous Meilin.
"That's a secret, my friend." She then said sternly, "Now do we have a deal or not???"
"Sure...sure..." said a scared Meilin. She knew that if this leaked out, she would be in deep trouble...

~*End Of Flashback*~

"So, you really didn't know about her powers?" asked Shiang.
"Shut up, you stupid fool!" said Meilin.
Sakura was shocked to hear that, and so were Syaoran and Shiang. But Tomoyo just stood there showing no sadness or awe at hearing what she had just heard. She knew it already: Meilin loved Syaoran, and she had used Shiang as a cover.
"It was too good to be true," said Sakura.
"We should've known that it was you Meilin, but I had never guessed that you, Tomoyo...you were involved in this. Come to think of it, I always trusted you." said Syaoran with a cross face.
"If you expect me to say sorry, well don't even think about it," said Tomoyo.
"Why did you do this???" cried Sakura.
Tomoyo didn't want to see her friend cry, at least before this moment, she never wanted to see her cry, but this time she didn't care.
"You call me a friend??? You don't even care that I'm crying." cried Sakura as she looked at Tomoyo. Syaoran was comforting her (Sakura).
"You never cared about me!! No one, and I mean NO ONE, cared about me. Neither did my mom nor my dad. My mom just worried about her work and her business and her money and left me with servants. My dad left me way before I even turned a year old. You had a loving family, and I thought of you as a friend, cause you cared about me. But then, all your attention was for him, and all was undivided. You never cared about me either."
She sobbed and said again, "No one cared about me. And the only person who did was you, and you left me as well." Tomoyo was now in Sakura's arms, crying her heart out. Meilin and Syaoran were having a glaring contest, a contest well known between Syaoran and Touya. And even though Syaoran was younger than him, he always (...usually) won. This time, between him and Meilin, there was no end. They were glaring at each other for quite a while, with Shiang looking at his watch to see who glared for the longest time. Meanwhile...Tomoyo was still crying.

"No one cares about me...not even you...Sakura." cried Tomoyo. She wanted to hear a respone from her. Just as Sakura was about to say something...

"I care about you Tomoyo," said a voice.
"That wasn't you, was it, Sakura?" asked Tomoyo.
"Nope, that sounded like..."
"Hi Tomoyo," interrupted -----

The end...

Is it really the end???

Nope...I'm not that cruel...and then I have to finish the story sooner or later. So, let's get on with it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Eriol-kun????" shouted everyone.
"I care about you, Tomoyo. I love you, Tomoyo. I want to be with you, Tomoyo. I will be your friend, Tomoyo," said Eriol, who after each sentence was referring to Tomoyo. He didn't even glance at the others who were looking at him. Actually, he didn't care.
"Really, Eriol-kun???" asked Tomoyo.
"Call me Eriol, and ya...really."
"WoWiE!!! Thanks sooo much." Tomoyo happily smiled and hugged Eriol.
Sakura walked towards the hugging couple. She knelt down besides Tomoyo, and said, "I care about you, too. I would never even let the thought about us not being together. I love you, Tomoyo, and I'm awfully sorry that I couldn't show that to you more often. You mean a whole lot to me. And I'm sorry if I never told you that either. All this was just so exciting. The way me and Syaoran got together, and then our relationship became so strong that every minute of my waking hour made me think about him. I never forgot you, but I regret that I took you for granted. I never should have done that to you. How could I be so selfish!!!!!!!"
And with that Sakura started crying as well. Tomoyo looked towards her, and then smiled and hugged her friend.
"No, Sakura. This is all my fault. I'm blaming you all for what I did. I knew that when you two got together, all your attention would go towards him. I should've accepted that, instead I ended up almost losing you forever because of my selfishness. This is all my fault. Forgive me???" asked Tomoyo.
"Of course!!!" said Sakura, " and do you forgive me???" asked Sakura.
"You've done nothing wrong."
"Just forgive me," said Sakura.
'She'll never change. She's as stubborn as ever,' thought Tomoyo. "Yes, I forgive you," she finally blurted out. They both hugged each other for a while. But then, Tomoyo looked at Syaoran. She stood up to face him and said, "I'm sorry, Syaoran. I hope that you have enough in your heart to forgive me." She reached out he hands for him to shake. He in reply did the same. But before he shaked hands, he said:
"Promise to never do that again!!!"
"I promise!!!!!!" said Tomoyo. They shook hands.
Tomoyo returned to Eriol and they kissed each other in content. Sakura and Syaoran just watched. They then looked at each other and they kissed as well. Suddenly, all eyes gazed towards Meilin and Shiang.

"She's been awfully quiet about everything," said Syaoran.
"Yes, I have been." replied Meilin. She looked at Shiang, who was looking the other way, not even daring to glance at Meilin, whom he thought, loved him. But now, he knew the reason: he was used.
"Shiang???" called out Meilin.
"I'm not listening to you anymore." replied he.
"But I think, after what I will say, you will talk to me. I didn't tell my side of the story yet."
He looked at her, and then walked towards her. She started...

"I never knew that Tomoyo was learning magic. When she called me and proposed me with an offer, I just thought that she was joking. But apparently she wasn't when she told me that she knew about my learning magic, and she would tell on me. She knows me quite well, after the Clow Card period, and I thought that I knew her as well. I thought at the time, that she knows that I would've never told anyone about me learning magic, cause they would have said that I was unable to do it. And if that wouldn't have been their response then most probably they would have said that I was learning magic a different, and a non-effective way, and that being the reason, I was no match to them. I never did tell them. She knew that I wouldn't have. I on that purpose agreed to associate her with her plan. Come to think of it, you all may be thinking that I joined the magic learning center for the reason that I could be comparable to Syaoran; that people may think that we're a good match after all. But, that in no way was my reason to take those classes. The main reason I took them was because..."
She stopped. It looked as if she wanted to go on, but something or someone was stopping her. She looked troubled. She peeked at Shiang who was gazing in the fire that Syaoran had lit, since it was night at the time. He was, though, listening to what Meilin had to say, and because she stopped for quite a while, he glanced at her. Meilin caught his eye, and then started:

"The main reason I took this class was because I fell in love with Shiang. I wanted to be with him, and I wanted him to like me. At first it was just a crush..."
:: everyone gasps ::
"...and then when I joined the classes, I finally met him personally. He was so nice and kind to me, unlike everyone else that I knew. (Meilin pauses and thinks: 'Sakura and Tomoyo were pretty nice to me, but I never let them be, 'cause I didn't want to be friends with my enemy.' ) He was so nice and gentle that I immediately fell in love with him. We both felt the same way. We went out together for quite a while. And then, you know stuff happened...and after that I left Hong Kong telling him that I would be back soon. It was hard for me to part with him, but I only did that because when I thought about Syaoran, I felt the same way as I used to before. So, I left him and tried the plan that we--being me and Tomoyo--had thought out. I had learned a very interesting spell before I left, and I had personally asked my master to teach me that spell. He did. He taught me how to cover my aura around people with magic; he knew that I was from the Li clan, and so he readily agreed knowing that he would be sued for letting this happen (A.N: this means that he would be sued if he knew that she was from the Li clanand still let her to be in the learning classes. Get it?? I hope so)."

She sighed a deep sigh and then stood up. She started walking.
"Where are you going???" asked Syaoran.
Meilin didn't reply. Syaoran was about to stand up (A.N. you know...to make her sit down again and continue what she had to say) when Meilin sat. She was sitting beside Shiang.
She continued...

"Shiang then came to Japan. He never did take a lot of benefit from the magic learning center, but I in turn did. Afterwards I put a spell on him, and he was then under my spell."
She looked at Shiang, and his face looked quite confused, but he looked away. He didn't even glance towards her thinking that she had used him while saying that she loved him. But she placed her index finger on his chin and moved it towards her face so they were to be face to face.
She continued:
"I...I still love you, Shiang. I still want to be with you and if you could, please forgive me for taking advantage of you. But to tell you the truth, all this time, I have been faithful to you. I've loved every moment that we have been together, and I will always cherish those moments."
Uptil now, Shiang had his eyes closed but when he heard her say the part that she would 'cherish all the moments' that they had been together, he opened his eyes and gazed longingly into Meilin's eyes. After a moment's pause, he said, "For real???"
Meilin smiled and said, "Yes, for real!!!!!"
They shared a kiss, and stood up.
"Where're you going?" asked Syaoran, who was delighted after the reunion and mostly delighted because of the feelings that Meilin had expressed for Shiang, since he thought that he was a fine, and a capable man.
"Home." said Shiang.
"Home???" asked Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Yes, our home." said Meilin and gave him a kiss.
"Good luck!!" shouted Sakura.
Meilin turned around and smiled. She let go of Shiang and walked towards Sakura. Syaoran held a protective arm out in front of her, not knowing when she would need it.
"You can move your hand, Syoaran. I'm just saying sorry." said Meilin.
"Oh...ok," said Syaoran reluctantly.
"That's ok Meilin." said Sakura with a smile as she patted Meilin on her shoulder.
"Actually, it's not alright. What I did was wrong and I deserve a punishment. So, go ahead, slap me, or kill me, or make me your slave." Said Meilin emotionally, but deep down in her heart she knew that the Sakura that she knew would never do that to her, but the reply that came to her shocked her.
"I would really love it if you would be the latter, that is, my slave. I would really like it if someone was there to clean my house and then I wouldn't be scolded that often. And my bedroom would be more cleaner and I would be able to find all my stuff, and then you could also make Kero his breakfast every morning and he just loves pancakes, and I hope that you can do laundry cause I have soooo many whites that need to be cleaned..." and she went on and on and on and on.
Everyone just sweatdropped.
"You all thought that I was serious!!!!" she chuckled, "No way!!!! I was just joking. I forgive you and you don't have to do anything else for me, is that understood?" asked Sakura with a quiet laugh.
"Yes ma'am. That is understood." said Meilin.
They both hugged as well, and fortunately for Tomoyo, and unfortunately for the rest of the gang, Tomoyo had her camera with her at the time, and she taped the hug. Everyone sweatdropped, all except...Eriol!!!!!!!
He was smiling and aiding Tomoyo with her taping. It was a wonderful sight, everyone smiling and laughing their heart out.

Suddenly, a question appeared in the minds of all except Sakura and Syaoran. "How did you find out that it was us???" asked Tomoyo.
Sakura smiled at Syaoran.

~*Flashback*~

""Hi guys," said the young man who then bended towards Meilin and gave her a teenie kiss.
"Hi," everyone replied.
"How'd you all sleep?" he asked cheerfully.
"The same as always," said Tomoyo.
"Well, then I assume that you sleep not so good each night," joked Shiang.
"For your information, I sleep like a horse," said Tomoyo, "OOPS!! I meant, I sleep good each night."
Everyone just laughed. Tomoyo looked at each and everyone sternly and the laugh became merely a giggle and then a smile, but as she stopped the glaring, everyone burst into a fit of laughter, all except Sakura and Syaoran.
"Wha--t's t-t--he matter Li, you're n--n-not laughing?" said Meilin.
"You too Sakura--this is--l--l-like the funn--funniest thing ever," said Shiang.
"Oh yeah, I bet it is, but...but..." Sakura said as she looked at Syaoran.
"But...we don't want Tomoyo to be mad at us, that's what." replied Syaoran in haste. He then thought, 'Phew!!!!'
"Yeah, exactly," said Sakura, and then she looked at Tomoyo, who was laughing herself. That made Sakura laugh too. She then thought, 'Yeah, exactly.'

~*End of Flashback*~

Sakura answered, "And when you all laughed, your aura should and I was able to see the black aura that each of you had, though the aura that Shaing had was a little lighter than the two of you."
"Lucky guess, don't you think??" Tomoyo asked Meilin.
"Oh yeah!!" answered Meilin, but after a pause she said, " so...that's why you wanted to hear jokes, Sakura??? I knew that there was something fishy about the idea."
"Really, Sakura. Come to think of it, it's a pretty good plan."
"Thanks," answered Sakura.

And then they lived happliy ever after...or did they???

If you do, then e-mail me at the following address and if I like it I will post up the ending that I want and the other fic with the ending that the readers want, and I think that I will call it 'Sequel to Christmas: Epilogue by the Readers' and all that depends on your mailing me ideas.
