"TOMOYO-CHAN IS HERE!!!!!!!!" Naruku screamed as the door opened. Tomoyo saw Naruku running at her,
she heard Eriol yell at his creation to stop, and then saw the cloudy sky, "TOMOYO-CHAN!!"
Naruku cried practically squeezing the life out of the poor girl. BR
"Etoo. . .Nice to see you too, Naruku-san." She said almost blue in the face. Eriol came over and
began to try to pry Naruku off. But Naruku had other ideas and she jumped up letting Eriol fall into
the snow next to Tomoyo.BR
"Eriol-kun says you're staying for two weeks! Is that true?!?!?" She asked with so much enthusasim,
that Tomoyo thought about taking off for her house right that second. She forced herself to smile.BR
"Yes, why does Eriol-kun lie?" She asked getting up and eyeing the boy. He grinned and floated her
luggage into the house. They took off their soaking outter clothes in the foyer adn left them to drip
on the gray tiled floor. Tomoyo slipped on some warm fuzzy purple slippers as she stepped on to the
hardwood floor. She thanked Naruku for them, for she had practically shoved them to her.BR
"They are very warm." She said smiling at Naruku, "Arigatou, Naruku-san." Naruku beamed.BR
"I told Eriol-kun how nice you looked in purple, but he refused to give a comment." She said,
leading Tomoyo to the kitchen. Suddenly a black animal zipped into Tomoyo's hair. She felt it
tremble.BR
"Tomoyo-san! Don't go in there! It's scary!" Spinel Sun's false form warned her.BR
"Hello, Spinel." She said chuckling, "Don't worry, I don't think Naruku-san would hurt me." She reassured
the tiny animal. It trembled again.BR
"You'd be surprised." He said, as Naruku glared at him.BR
"OO! Suppi-chan, you loooove my food but you just don't want to admit it!!!" She said giggled.(A|N: I don't
know if Naruku/Ruby Moon is a boy or girl - from what I've heard she's neither*remind u of some one else from
CLAMP's other series, so let's just say she's a girl okay?) Spinel
shrunk back further into Tomoyo's waist length hair. BR
"Protect me, PUUUHLEEEASE Tomoyo-san! Master won't do anything about her. PLEASE HELP ME, TOMOYO-SAN!" He whimpered clinging onto her neck.BR
"Oh, he doesn't?" She asked, giving Eriol a suspicous look. He grinned and blushed slightly.BR
"Well, after a while I stopped, because I didn't have any time for anything else." Eriol explained rubbing the back of his neck
with one of his hands.BR
"OH!" Naruku said, forgetting the arguement, "Tomoyo-san, I just baked gingerbread! Eriol-kun said you wanted to have an English Christmas!
So I made some ginger bread to make gingerbread houses!!!" She squealed dragging the younger girl into the kitchen. Spinel
took refuge on top of the refridgerator. Eriol followed and helped Naruku take down all the ingerdents, candy, etc. to make the
houses. Afterwards, Naruku put in some traditional Christmas songs.

BR
Two hours, seven sheets of ginger bread four batches of white and red frosting,
six bags of gummy candy, two bags of peppermints, and five bags of imported Chocolate Kisses later - the trio had made
four gingerbread houses, one for each, yes even Spinel.BR
"Tomoyo-san, you have a big glop of icing right here." Eriol told her, wipping her cheek with his finger. She laughed.BR
"Well, Eriol-kun you now have a big streak of red frosting right here." She told him taking a dip of red icing on her finger and
drawing a line on his cheek.BR
"That was unfair, Tomoyo-san!" He said pouting cutely. She giggled. BR
"Well here." He said taking frosting and a gummy, he pasted a gummy to Tomoyo's forehead. They laughed as Naruku came in from setting up the houses
in the dining room.BR
"Tsk tsk, my aren't you two a mess." She commented. They laughed and washed themselves off in the kitchen sink. Naruku sighed as she cleaned up,
"Teenagers." She shook her head. They giggled and flicked water at her.

That EveningBRBR
"Gosamadeshita." Tomoyo said clapping her hands together
and began to clear her place up. Eriol shook his head.BR
"Guests at our house do not have to do such tasks." Eriol said, and with a flick of his hand
the dishes flew themselves into the kitchen and Tomoyo heard them to begin to wash themselves.BR
"I must say, Eriol-kun. It will take me a while to get used to these tricks of yours." Tomoyo said. Eriol
chuckled.BR
"You have two weeks, Tomoyo-san. I believe it will be normal by then." He replied. As he made the rest of the
table clean itself. A sudden ring announced the incoming call.BR
"MOSHI MOSHI!" Naruku sung into teh receiver, "SAKURA-CHAN!!!" She squealed, "Genki desuka? A? HAI! Tomoyo-chan
wa koko! . . .Hai, matte!" She handed the antique phone to Tomoyo.BR
"Moshi moshi?" She asked, already knowing who it was. She felt Eriol watching her closely,
"Sakura-chan! . . . Oh, who is she? . . . I'm fine. . .Eriol-kun invited me to stay with him
over the break . . . Hai, they are here too, obviously-"BR
"SUPPI-CHAN SAYS HI SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruku screamed so Sakura could hear her. Tomoyo giggled and covered the receiver
lgihtly.BR
"Sakura-chan says hello to everyone, and to thank you for presents." She told them they grinned.BR
"NO PROBLEM SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruku cried again.BR
"Etoo . . Iie, daijoubu." She said laughing embarassed, "Ano? Iie! Sakura-chan!!! How could you think such a thing?"
Tomoyo demanded, the blood rushing to her face, "Hai, we're going to have a English Christmas . . . Don't worry, I'll
do losta good flim taking and send it to you! . . . A! Arigatou, I'm sure Eriol can transport them over if they are actually
delivered." Tomoyo looked at Eriol with an evil grin. Eriol couldn't help but gulp, "Hai, bye Sakura-chan. You sure you don't
want to talk to Eriol-kun? . .NANI? . . .Okay fine, I will. . . Bye." She hung up. She turned to them blushing slightly.BR
"She said to say hi and to give everybody a hug." She told them giving Spinel a slight squeeze. Naruku hugged back like she
had just seen Tomoyo for the first time in three years. She walked over to Eriol and gave him an akward hug, "And this to Eriol-kun."
She said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek and blsuhed bright red. Eriol's cheeks gained a slight color and Naruku and Spinel
gave each other sly smiles.BR
"Well, Tomoyo-san, why don't we go find a place to get a nice tree. Naruku-san, Spinel, would you like to come?" Eriol asked. They nodded.BR
They all bundled up in their warm clothes.BR
BRBRcenter
************************************/centerBRBR
BR
They arrived at the only Christmas tree ifarm/i in Tomeda. "This is Christmas" by Luther Vandross floated from
the cabin where a sign read: "Saws, Bundling, and Payment HERE." They trudged into the cabin, Spinel hiding
in Tomoyo's hair.BR
"OI! Pal, hey! It costs 120 on loan for the saws, and the trees are 10,000 to 60,000 - depending on size." The guy at the register said handing Eriol a saw. Eriol
gave the man the money and the group set off into the farm. Other families could be heard as they picked of their trees. Without
really realizing it, Tomoyo took Eriol's free hand in her own. Wrapping her leather gloved fingers around his fuzzy mittens.
Spinek looked down from his warm perch in Tomoyo's hair. He smiled wryly.BR
"OHH!!! ERIOL-KUN! TOMOYO-CHAN!!! LOOK!!!" Naruku pointed to a big fir tree, she jumped up and down flinging snow everywhere.BR
"NARUKU! BAKA! STOP JUMPING!" Spinel shouted at her. She stopped and let the other three inspect it. Spinel flying up to see it the top was okay.BR
"Well what do you think?" Eriol asked Tomoyo. Her eyes answered for her, she looked like a little child in a candy shop. Sighing she nodded.BR
"It's beautiful! Perfect!" She murmured looking at him, for once Eriol was a little confused.BR
"What is, me or the tree?" He asked teasingly.BR
"The btree/b!" She said, he laughed and bent down to saw it off.BR
Tomoyo and Naruku eventually had to shovel the snow away from the base of the tree. Then they had to hold the tree and make sure it didn't fall on Eriol.
They giggled as he had to get in a funny postion under the tree as he tried to cut down the tree. They laughed hysterically afterwards as he came up with pine
needles sticking off his head like a porcupine and sticky sap smeared on his left cheek and glasses.BR
"Oh shut up," He said light heartedly. He grasped the strudy branch at the bottom as he and Naruku began to drag it back to
the paying station. There they payed 45,000 for it and began to lug it home. Tomoyo made them all stop at a cafe and bought them all hot chocolate.
Spinel even ventured out to have a few sips from Tomoyo's cup.BR
Eriol mused to himself how Spinel had attached himself to Tomoyo in less than a few hours. His small creation was perched dantily
on her shoulder almost blending in with her hair. Too soon, they all agreed, they had finished their drinks and had to start on the ten mintue walk back to
Eriol's house.BR
