Chapter 14- The Day of Rest… As If!
"Good morning everyone!" Ling and Tomoyo said in unison.
"Huh? Oh Good morning Ling! Good morning Tomoyo!" said Sakura happily.
Syaoran greeted Ling and Tomoyo, as did Eriol. But, Eriol gave Tomoyo an extra special greeting, a kiss on the cheek. Sakura saw that, but didn't think much of it. She thought that maybe he was just being extra friendly.
"Guess what? Ling caught a card last night!" said Tomoyo excitedly.
"Oh great! Which one?" Eriol asked.
"The Fly Card! It was really easy!" Ling replied.
During breakfast, Tomoyo was trying to signal to Ling and Sakura that she needed to talk to them, pronto. After 10 minutes of Tomoyo's obvious fake coughs and her bad attempts to kick one of them in the shin, she finally got their attentions.
"What is it?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Let's talk in my room." Tomoyo said Sakura and Ling.
They all left the table, leaving Eriol and Syaoran alone. Eriol looked at Syaoran (and vice versa) in a puzzled way. 'It must be girl talk!' they both thought.
Sakura and Ling followed Tomoyo to her room, both confused but anxious to hear what Tomoyo had to tell them.
"So, what is it you wanted to tell us Tomoyo?" Ling asked.
Tomoyo was blushing, but that didn't stop her from letting them know about Eriol.
"Well, last night, the most amazing thing happened me!" Tomoyo said with a huge grin on her face. Sakura and Ling were anxious to hear more. "Ok, well… Eriol told me that… that he… he loved me! And I told him that I loved him too!" she continued, now fully red from blushing.
"You love Eriol? How come I never knew?" Sakura asked.
"Well, I didn't want anybody to know. I kinda just wanted myself to know. I'm sorry that I never told you." Apologized Tomoyo.
"There's no need to apologize. I'm just surprised that I never noticed! I'm sooooo happy for you!" Sakura said as she hugged Tomoyo.
"Oh! I'm really happy for you too! I guess you're not the only one who's extremely happy!" Ling said.
"Huh? Is there something you need to tell us Ling?" asked Sakura with an anxious grin on her face.
"Actually, there is!" Ling said. "Well, I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I was really depressed. I was depressed because someone who I thought I loved, didn't love me back. I don't love him anymore. Eriol helped me realize this. He noticed that I had been acting strange, and asked me what was wrong. I told him that I had been unhappy, so he told me that he was going to fix me up a surprise. I don't know what made him do it, but I'm grateful that he did. His surprise to me was for me to spend one night with my husband, Ping. That one night made me feel the best I had ever felt when we 1st started this project. My heart had been lifted. I was truly happy again."
When Ling finished, she saw that Tomoyo were crying.
"Aww… we're glad that you're happy again!" Sakura said. They all hugged each other. After their whole talk, they returned to the kitchen. Syaoran and Eriol were still there. They were obviously in deep thought.
"Eriol, may I speak with you?" Ling asked Eriol.
"Sure!" he replied.
"Well, I just wanted to thank you for yesterday. I really, really appreciate it!" Ling said. She gave Eriol a huge hug.
"You're very welcome! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!"
He said.
Ever since their talk the other morning, Ling felt a new kind of bond with Eriol.
That afternoon, everyone seemed to be doing their own thing. Eriol and Tomoyo were sitting on the grass talking. Ling was showing Sakura some more fight moves. Syaoran was nowhere to be seen.
"Good! You're getting better at this Sakura!" Ling told Sakura. "Yes!" Sakura said happily.
"Ok, this next thing I'm going to teach you is kinda complicated. 1st, I'm going to show you a barrel roll. Once you get that going, we're going to add a kick. Alright?" Ling said.
Sakura had to most confused (but cute) look on her face. Ling showed Sakura the move a few times (well, more like 15 times… Ling was getting a bit dizzy) before Sakura tried it. Again, no one noticed, but Syaoran was watching Ling and Sakura. He thought 'What is this feeling I've got for Ling?'. Just then, a cupid-like creature flew out of Syaoran's closet.
After everyone had hung out for a while, they decided to go out for a movie. "How about this new one? It's called Love This Way. It's a romantic movie!" suggested Ling. The rest agreed to the suggestion.
Eriol and Syaoran wore semi-casual clothes (you can dress them out however you want… just as long as they look reeeeeeally good! ^_^). Ling wore her battle costume (she felt that she hadn't worn it enough), Sakura wore a dark denim skirt with a pink tank top and Tomoyo wore a nice red sleeveless dress with a black cardigan.
At around 6:00 P.M., they all headed down to the theater. A lot of guys gave Ling "googly-eyes" (and some actually approached her), but she just glared at them and walked away. She wasn't used to all this attention. The seating order: Ling, Syaoran, Sakura, Eriol and Tomoyo. Even though Ling was a 5th wheel, she really didn't mind. She had fun imagining Ping was with her. Ling had a weird feeling that someone was watching her, but she shrugged the feeling off. Suddenly, a tall woman jumped through the theater screen. The woman was wearing a very cool outfit (Tomoyo like it). Think ninja meets the Matrix. The woman picked Ling up and threw her out of the theater. "It's one of my cards!" Ling yelled as she got up. People started to panic like it was the end of the world. "Sleep Card! Put everyone into a deep sleep!" said Sakura. Everyone with magic powers (including the card) stayed awake. Eriol shielded Tomoyo from the powder. Sleep's work gave Ling the opportunity to seal the card. There was nothing else for the rest to do but watch Ling take on the card.
Both Ling and the card stood there, in fighting stance, glaring at one another (Ling looked very evil…). Finally the card made the 1st move. She ran up to Ling and tried to kick her, but Ling blocked the attack. You could tell that Ling was a trained fighter because she grabbed the card and flipped her onto the ground. The card managed to flip Ling back off (which hurt because Ling didn't land right). "Ling!! Are you okay?" yelled Sakura.
"Ya! I'm fine!" she replied.
They (the card and Ling) got back into fighting position. This time, Ling attacked 1st. She did a few really cool moves (including the one she showed Sakura), each one hitting the card. Finally, the card was knocked out with one final punch to the face. "Fight Card! Return to me!" Ling chanted. She sealed the card. Everyone was impressed with all of Ling's fighting skills. One hidden person was really impressed with her fighting. After the group had left, people started waking up.
"Good morning everyone!" Ling and Tomoyo said in unison.
"Huh? Oh Good morning Ling! Good morning Tomoyo!" said Sakura happily.
Syaoran greeted Ling and Tomoyo, as did Eriol. But, Eriol gave Tomoyo an extra special greeting, a kiss on the cheek. Sakura saw that, but didn't think much of it. She thought that maybe he was just being extra friendly.
