TRUTH OR DARE
'The dare that drew a smile- The truth that drew a tear'
chapter 3

When Sakura opened her eyes, she was lying in a bed in a green room.
"How did I get here?" she said out loud. Surprisingly, she got an answer, "I carried you after you passed out."
Sakura turned around to see-
"Syaoran-kun!" she exclaimed. She jumped into his arms and hugged him like a snake to its prey.
'Syaoran-kun?' he thought.
"I thought you'd never come back!" she planted a kiss on his right cheek, causing him to turn red.
"He arrived just yesterday cuz he wanted to be in Japan for the Cherry Blossom Festival. You weren't supposed to know he was here until next week, but ah, what the heck." said another voice which turned out to be Mei-Lin.
"Hoe? Syaoran-kun, are you feeling alright?" Sakura gently felt his forehead with her hand, "You don't feel hot."
'God, her skin is so soft.' thought Syaoran causing him to turn even redder. "N-no I'm- I'm just fine." he stammered.
Although his voice sounded somewhat undermining, she believed him anyway and smiled sweetly at him. Syaoran immediately turned an even brighter red ( })i({ geez, how red can one person get?) and smiled back at her.
"Omigosh! I just remembered. Mei-Lin- what time is it?" asked Sakura as she jumped out of Syaoran's arms and frantically searched for her shoes.
"Don't worry, Sakura-chan, I've already called your dad and told him you're sleeping over. You are sleeping here, are you not?" teased Mei-Lin.
"Ah...Uh....Well, you see, I have to get my clothes and you know-"
"Got 'em right here!" announced Kero as he made a bold entrance through the window carrying a pink back pack containing Sakura's clothes. "I overheard your dad talking to Mei-Lin, so I- HEY! YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT THE GAKI WAS HERE!!"
"HE IS NOT A GAKI!!" screamed Sakura and Mei-Lin together. Their voices were so loud that Kero was thrown onto the floor.
"Yeah, whatever," said Kero, rubbing his head.
*Ding*Dong*
"That must be Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-kun." Mei-Lin suggested as she walked towards the door.
"It's okay, I'll get it!" volunteered Sakura, running ahead of Mei-Lin.
*Ding*Dong*
Sakura opened the door, and just as Mei-Lin had predicted, there in the doorway stood Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Geez, it's so freakin' cold outside!" said Tomoyo removing her coat.
"Are you serious?" asked Sakura.
Eriol and Tomoyo nodded. Sakura then opened the door again and took two steps outside. Well actually, 1½ because before she put her foot down, a gust of wind blew and Sakura immediately ran inside, slamming the door behind her.
"Damn! It's is cold!" she exclaimed.
"Hey guys, listen to this!" said Kero turning up the volume on the television. A man wearing a blue suit appeared in front of a weather map.
"Although it is nearing the end of Winter, a severe snow storm is scheduled to hit the Toemoeda area
around 2:15 in the morning. Salt trucks [shows clip of trucks] are already making their rounds around
the city and all classes are most likely to be canceled tomorrow-"
*Ring*
"I'll get it, you guys keep watching the news." offered Tomoyo.
"-although the storm will be severe, it will not be as bad as the blizzard which occurred seven years ago
[shows clip of snow storm from seven years ago] around this time of year-."
"Hold on, Kero hit pause!" commanded Sakura. ( })i({ is it direct tv that can do this? if not, then let's just pretend that they have some sort of special cable thing.) Kero did as he was told, "What's the matter, Sakura?"
"Look right here." she said, pointing to a bluish blur in the corner of the television.
"It's probably just some snow." suggested Mei-Lin.
"No, it's the Snow Card, I just know it!" Sakura said defensively. There was a 30 second pause when Eriol decided to break the silence.
"Well, if you tilt your head and squint... you can make out its visible form!"
Everyone except for Sakura tilted their heads and squinted their eyes.
"Ohhhh! I see it now!" exclaimed Mei-Lin.
"Definitely a Clow Card!" agreed Kero.
"I... still don't see it..." admitted Syaoran.
All of a sudden, Tomoyo jumped in front of them and took a picture of everyone. Mei-Lin, Syaoran, Kero, and Eriol were all in head tilts and squinting their heads, Sakura was looking down and had a teardrop on the back of her head.
"Hahaha!! You guys looked ridiculous! I can't wait to get this developed! Speaking of Clow cards, I brought over my tapes!" laughed Tomoyo. "Oh, by the way, the school called and said that school is canceled tomorrow."
"Well, if school is canceled, then we don't have to make up an excuse for having major headaches during school, now do we?" said Mei-Lin as she excitedly pulled a case of liquor out of the refrigerator.

I am SO SO SO sorry that this took so long! I was going to upload it last week, but some stupid computer glitch deleted it somehow and I had to retype it all from memory. I'm kind of disappointed in myself cuz I know that I can write a better chapter than this, but I know a lot of people wanted to confirm that it was Syaoran who caught her. And for the people who are wondering what's up with the title, you'll find out in the next chapter. So, Ja-ne!
