-------------------

Dude, Where's the Cable Box?

Chapter 3: The Shack

Syaoran woke up the next day, and started to think about the events of the last day, "What a tough day that was.." he thought, "I can't believe we got dragged in to this mess, well atleast I don't have Eriol here to tease me… AAGG!!! Every time I want to tell Sakura that I love her. Those damn authors make something up!! … Maybe it's not meant to be… NO!! I can't believe that… I'm sure it has something to do with that stupid Bonjagles!! I'm sure glad he is running for his life… hahaha, at last one of the authors does something right. We need to find that cable box, so there can be no more plot and get this over with…."

Syaoran opened his eyes, and turned around… and SURPRISE!! Sakura was laying right next to him, very close to him… way to close to him (if you know what I mean)!! Syaoran's face immediately turned red!! He could not believe it… "Damn Authors I'll get you for this!!" he thought .

(Anny: Good one, Shin... hehehe -- Shin: Why, thank you Anny... hehehe)

Syaoran stared at Sakura for a moment… and well drooled (YUK!!) … "I can't believe how hot she is." He thought. Then he gently woke Sakura up… She slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Syaoran, she started to giggle…

"Hehehe… Good Morning Syaoran… hehehe… I see that Tomato Family gene kicked in again." She said

"I still can't believe she felt for that." He thought… "Well.. umm, yeah… It really gets annoying." He said nervously. " Anyway, are you ok?"

"Yes, I Feel Great, WEEEEE!!! but why do you ask?" She replied

"Well, you fell from the bed, and I thought you got hurt in the fall…" he said, while his face returned to normal color.

"Thanks Syaoran, you always worry about me… I'm glad you were the one that had to come with me on this Quest to find the… the…aaa… (Anny: pss.. Magic Cable Box) oh yeah, the Magic Cable Box… thanks miss author (Anny: You're Welcome, my little character)" said Sakura, after giving him a friendly kiss in the cheek.

Surprisingly Syaoran didn't blush this time… "I'm going for it!! No one can stop me now ::Looking at the authors::" he thought, and then he said, "Sakura, there is something very important that I have to tell you."

"What is it Syaoran?" she asked intrigued..

He started to speak as Sakura listened carefully… "I have felt this way for a long time, and I must as well say it… Sakura Kinomoto… I lo…"

But suddenly the room's door opened and a woman went in shouting "Room Service".. She stopped and looked at both Sakura and Syaoran… Then she started to scream hysterically "AAAHHH…TEENAGERS, ALONE, ROOM, AAAAAHHH", Then she ran out of the room slaming the door behind her.

Syaoran's face got red again, "Damn autors" he thought… (DarkShin: Well the scene was getting a little boring… so I had to do something about it, this is a humor fic, you know!!)

Sakura stood up, smiled, and said "Well, we better go get ready, we need to find that Cable thing… I'm taking a Shower." Then she went into the bathroom. Syaoran just sighed.



Later in the day, both of them went down to the Hotel's Restaurant. There were lots of tables, most of them already occupied by other people doing mystic quests… They sat down on one of the empty tables, and a waiter approached them…

"May I help you?" said the waiter to Sakura and Syaoran.

They looked up and Sakura screamed: "Look Syaoran! It's Van from Escaflowne!!!!" "Van de Fanel? What are you doing here??"

Van sweatdropped. He bent down and wispered: "I work here between jobs. I need money, you see."

"So how is Hitomi?" Syaoran asked.

"Ah well, she's the one who forced me to take a second job..."

"I'm going to the bathroom." Sakura interrupted.

She got up and walked to the bathrooms.

"Woooohooo.. What's your gorgeous friend's name, Syaoran?" asked Van, looking back at Sakura.

"It's Sakura, and you'd better keep you hands to yourself, my friend..."

"Okay! I know someone who's possessive of his girlfriend!"

Syaoran blushed and murmured: "She's not my girlfriend...yet."

"Hmmm... That's good to know!"

"Hey!!! She's mine!" The amber eyed boy protested.

"All is fair in love and war!" Van said before Sakura came back.

"Sorry if I took so long. It's not easy to pee in your weird toilets. The men in there were looking at me as if I was an alien. I wonder why?.."

"Your name is Sakura right? What a beautiful name!" Van said.

He kneeled down on one knee, took Sakura's hand and kissed it. Sakura blushed an extraordinary red, steam going out of her ears. Syaoran wanted to kick his butt right there, right then, but he thought it would be inappropriate in a restaurant, so he just sat there trying to control his increasing jealousy. Van pushed Sakura's chair as she thanked him. Van took their orders and walked away giving Sakura a sweet smile and a wink. Syaoran couldn't hold it anymore. He just had to tell her that her loved her. So before anything could disturb him :: Looking at the authors ::

(Anny: What? - DarkShin: Why are you looking at us? * asking with a too innocent smile *) he blurted out: "SakuraIwantyoutoknowhowIfeelIreallylikeyouinfactIaminlovewithyou..."

Sakura stared silently. ::: 1 minute later ::: "Whuuuut?!?!?! You are speaking too fast for me!"

Syaoran sighed. He tried to say it more slowly: "Sakura, I want you to know how I feel. I really like you.. In fact..." He took her hand in his shaking one and he took a deep breathe: "In fact.. I am.. I am in.."

But before he could say the L word, a plate with eggs and bacon was placed in front of him.

"Arrrgggg!" "What's wrong Syaoran?" asked Van, who had come back just in time to disturb Syaoran in his confession.

"Why aren't you taking your time, like normal restaurants do?!"

"Oh.. I'm soooo sorry to disturb you..." the waiter said sarcastically.

He found Sakura pretty hot and he wasn't going to let Syaoran go like that. He just wanted to play a bit with his temper.

But before he could say anything to make Syaoran's anger burst out, Sakura asked him: "Would you happen to know where we could find a Magic Cable Box?"

"Maybe you could find one at the RadioShack by Market Street."

"Thank you very much!" said Sakura and she began to eat.

Syaoran frowned at Van who was still standing next to their table: "...You can go, waiter."

"Hmmph... I wonder what is she doing with him..." mumbled Van before walking away.

"HEY! I heard that!!" exclaimed Syaoran.

Van laughed and entered the kitchen. They ate silently. Syaoran wasn't in the mood anymore for his declaration.

After that, they took a taxicab to this infamous "RadioShack" the waiter told them about. Finally they where there. They got off the cab and walked inside the store. It was full of electronic devices, but they didn't sense that anyone off them could be magical. They went up to day sales clerk he was dressed as a Native American (or Indian as people like to call them)…

"Good Morning, Sakura and Syaoran me be Chief Whatchamacallme, this my shack, how me help today?" he said.

"H-How did you know our names?" asked Syaoran with a surprised Syaoran.

The Chief responded, "Me know many things, studied shaman teachings, and me read your…"

"Our minds… you read our minds right!! HOW COOL, I've never met a mind reader indian dude before!! WEEEEEEEE!!!" interrupted an exited Sakura.

"You Mistaken young one… me no read minds, me read nametags" said the chief pointing at the nametags on their shirts. Yes... surprisingly Sakura did bring a shirt this time!!

"Oh hehehe… wonder where did those came from…hehehe, that was cool though" giggled Sakura.

"Me too… " said Syaoran looking at the authors

(DarkShin: LOL… sorry, I couldn't resist.)

"Why you come here?" asked the Chief.

"We came to look for a magic cable box ::Dramatic Music::.." said Syaoran

"Shhh.. Speak not of evil here…" said the Chief in a Concerned voice "… come you follow me to back room… girl stay and watch the shack."

Syaoran and the Chief went to the back room while Sakura stayed to watch the shop… BIG MISTAKE…

Inside the Back Room…

"So you sent here by Bonjagles?" Asked the Chief

"Yes, he called us from a TV that came out from nowhere." Answered Syaoran

"Then it has happened again" said the Chief again in a concerned voice.

"What do you mean, "Again"?" asked Syaoran

"Bonjagles used to make fic have plot… many have been victims to this, many have come close, but none have finished fic." Explained the Chief

The two talked some more, the chief explained how others have went to his Shack to look for the Magic Cable Box, sent by Bonjagles to make fics have sense, but none have prevailed, they all died by some freak accident or just vanished.

Then they came out from the back room… only to find that all the merchandise was gone, and Sakura was playing with a coin.

"Where is Merchandize?!?!" the Chief asked hysterically.

"Hehe, Well… umm you see…" said Sakura innocently.

"Sakura?" said Syaoran in a annoyed tone.

"Hehe… you see… some men that had masks and were dressed in black came here, and gave me this Shiny Coin!! Look... Shiny!!" said Sakura.

"What happened to men?" asked the Chief

"Well, umm… when I was playing with this Shiny coin… and then when I turned around… they left and all the stuff was gone too… hehe." Said Sakura innocently.

"Well It doesn't matter, the important thing is that you are ok." Said a concerned Syaoran.

"Why wouldn't be ok?" Asked Sakura with a smile.

"Geezz" whispered Syaoran.

"Don't matter now, you must hurry, find cable box before it's too late, and may the Force be with you." said the Chief.

Sakura and Syaoran stepped out of the store, weirdly the street was empty… and suddenly…

"The force?" said Syaoran disturbed. Then he turned around… but the store was no longer there… Instead there was a Starbucks.

"Cool! A Starbucks… I want Coffee!" said Sakura.

"We have no time, Sakura, we must find that Magic Cable Box soon, before Bonjagles does something to us." Said Syaoran

"Bummer." Said Sakura

They continued walking for a little while, when suddenly a dark figure appeared in front of them…

"Hello…" he said…
