Chapter 4: The Long Saturday Afternoon
*'_'* Syaoran's Apartment *'_'*
~BuZZ~
We hear footsteps running across a wooden floor.
"Moshi Moshi"
"Syaoran-kun, are you ready?" Sakura's voice half-shouted, startling Syaoran.
Syaorn sweatdrops, "Sakura, I don't feel well, so I'm going to stay home, ok?"
Sakura worries, "Are you okay? I'll come upstairs."
Syaoran, nervous and stammering, "Umm... Sakura... it's okay! Don't worry about it!"
He then notices the silence, "Sakura? Sakura?"
~dIng DoNG!~
Syaoran is surprised by the bell. "She's fast!"
Syaoran takes a deep breath, combs his hair with his hand and turns the doorknob...
!~CRASH~!
"Syaoran-kun?" Sakura looks over to Syaoran who is desperately trying not to yell in pain. Sakura's weight had pushed the door open and the doorknob had jammed his hand into the wall. (ouchie!)
"Syaoran-kun, are you ok? You're turning purple. Maybe you ARE sick!" Sakura cries with worry. (Don't get too worried, Sakura!) She looks down at his hand, realizes her mistake and quickly close the door. (Yep!) Syaoran jumps up.
"AhhH!"
"I'm sorry!"
She takes his hand and he turns even purple"er". She pulls him into the kitchen and runs cold water over his hands.
"Are you okay now?"
"Yeah"
"Great! Let's go!"
Sakura's outburst surprises Syaoran and he realizes he's got to tell her. He sighs- there was no way out of it. He might as well get it over with.
"Sakura..."
"Yes?"
"Sakura, I can't rollerblade!"
"Hoe?" She blinks.
~SiLENCE~
"Oh! That's okay! I'll teach you!"
Syaoran falls anime-style.
*'_'* *'_'* *'_'* *'_'* *'_'* *'_'* *'_'* *'_'*
"Ahh!" ~CrAsH!~
"Let's try that again, this time with your feet moving!"
"I've had enough of this Sakura, let's go..."
"I will NOT leave this spot until you learn!"
sigh Syaoran starts to move his feet, but to his misfortune he loses his balance, yet again...
MeANwhiLe...
We pan to a small unsuspecting bush nearby. Innocent? I think NOT! We see a little rustle and we delve further into the bush. We start to hear small whispers. Whatever could it be? Gnomes? Ghosts? Elves? Why- it's Tomoyo and Kero!
"Kero-chan, you HAVE to learn to be quieter!"
"It's not me! It's my stomach! I don't think it's quite used to spying!"
"I prefer the term undercover jobs!"
"Hmph!"
Tomoyo-chan is too busy filming our pair to respond to the "Hmph!"
~CRASH!~
*'_'* Thirty crashes and 1 video tape later a.k.a. 30 minutes later *'_'*
Kero is sleeping peacefully in Tomoyo's soft hair and Tomoyo is (take a wild guess)
~RusTle rUstLE~
A hand reaches out and...presses the pause button on Tomoyo's camera!
"Ahhh!"
The two surrounding Tomoyo are shocked to hear her piercing scream!
"Tomoyo-chan, calm down!"
"Eriol! Why did you do that?!" Tomoyo demands.
"Don't you think it's time that you got a break?" asked Eriol mock devastatingly.
"No..." was her answer flat-out.
Kero and Eriol sweatdrop.
"Here, let's leave the camera right there, and leave it on okay?" Eriol puts his arm around Tomoyo's shoulders and leads her AWAY from the camera.
"Oh, okay..." Tomoyo pouted. "But only five minutes! You hear me!"
"Okay, okay. Don't worry, they're not going any where..." Eriol reassuringly comforts her. "Meanwhile, I'll buy everyone ice cream!"
*'_'* Five crashes and 0 video tapes later a.k.a. 5 minutes later *'_'*
"Let me check the video tape to see that it's okay. AhhhhhH!" A piercing scream lets out through the air. Eriol and Kero look up and run, er- crawl to the grieving girl.
"What's wrong?!" Eriol and Kero ask.
"Oh no!" Tomoyo cries with her face in her hands. "Sakura-chan and Li-kun are GONE! And it's all your fault!" Tomoyo points to Eriol accusingly.
Eriol mocks shock and hurt, "Surely, you don't mean your good friend Eriol do you? Oh, it's ok, you'll get PLENTY of chances to tape them ok?"
Tomoyo sniffs and mumbles, "Okay."
"Good girl, now let's go home, ok?" Eriol whispers to Kero, "She certainly gets emotional."
"You haven't seen the worst part."
"What's the worst part?"
"You don't want to know."
Eriol sweatdrops.
*'_'* Back at Syaoran's Apartment *'_'*
Pan to the door. We see it open and Syaoran and Sakura stumble in, with Sakura trying to support the tortured Syaoran. She puts him onto the couch. ~PlOP~
"Owww..." Syaoran moans.
"Oh, don't worry Syaoran-kun, I bet you've been in worse places than this."
"I don't remember anything worse than this; that's how much I'm hurting!"
"That was nothing! That was only an hour, but at least you learned how to balance on the rollerblades!"
Syaroan sweatdrops.
"Sakura..." he groans. "Remind me..."
"Yeah?"
"Remind me..."
"Yeah?"
"Remind me never to rollerblade again!"
"Oh... well if that's how you feel Syaoran-kun..."
"Yes... just please let it be.. I do not mix with rollerblades..."
"Well, okay..." Sakura feels a little hurt. "I'm going to let myself out..."
Syaoran panicks. He doesn't want her to leave. He wants her to stay! So he does the first thing he thinks of...
"OWwww!" He howls. "Sakura..."
Sakura is alarmed by his howling. "What? What is it?" She examines him. "I think I better stay and put some ice on those bruises."
"Thanks Sakura."
"No problem!" Sakura flashes him one of her million-watt smiles.
Well, Syaoran thought, even if I have to be in absolute pain for her to be here, I'm happy. And while Sakura's not looking, he gives a little smile.
