The next day in Tomoeda High:

"Oh right class, settle down! We have a new transfer student from Hong Kong. Please welcome Li Syaoran-kun! Welcome to Tomoeda, Li-kun! Let's see! You can sit behind Kinomoto-san over there! Kinomoto-san, raise your hand!" Ashino-sensei said. Girls looked at the handsome boy and started to drool, except Sakura who looked shocked. She didn't here Ashino-sensei ask her to raise her hand.

"Kinomoto-san! Kinomoto-sa…"

"It's okay! I know who she is!" Syaoran walked down the aisle. He heard a couple of "welcome back"s from his childhood friends. All the girls stared after him, drool coming out of their mouths. All the guys watched him in envy. When Syaoran stopped behind Sakura to put his stuff down, he muttered, "Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan!" Then he sat down. All the girls looked at Sakura in hatred. Sakura just kept on staring ahead at the teacher. She heard Syaoran sigh behind her. 'Gomen Syaoran-kun! Onegai, forgive me!' With that done and everybody settled down, Ashino-sensei began class.

"All right, minna! We are going to be starting a project. It's a marriage project! You'll be put into partners! The first week you'll just be getting ready and settled down! You'll have 25,000 yen(Yumi: Would that be enough? I honestly don't know how much things cost in Japan!!!!!) to spend on getting baby equipment and stuff like that. The next four weeks will be spent taking care of your electronic baby! It'll keep a memory on how well it is being taken care of! At the end of these five weeks, you'll hand back all the stuff and get a grade for the project. That'll be around 1/6 of your yearly-grade, so work hard!! The equipment will be bought from me! You won't really give me money, but how much you spend will be taken down on paper! No loans of withdrawals from the bank or in other words, me! The only way for you to gain money is by your weekly salary. You'll choose a job without knowing the salary! After you've chosen, you'll find out how much you get per week!" Some people were beginning to groan.

"Okay! These are your partners so once you and your partner are called, please stand together at a side of the room! Chiharu and Yamazaki!" Chiharu squealed and dragged a frozen Yamazaki to the side of the room. Ashino-sensei went on and on.

"Hiiragizawa Eriol and Daidouji Tomoyo!" Tomoyo smiled and blushed. Eriol took Tomoyo gently by the arm, tucking her hand on the crook of his elbow. There were lots of whistles, catcalls and yelling going on from the rest of the class. They gracefully walked to stand beside Chiharu and Yamazaki.

"QUIET!!!!! Okay! Li Syaoran and Kinomoto Sakura!" Syaoran stood up and waited for Sakura. There were a lot of whispers from the jealous classmates. Sakura stood up and walked next to Tomoyo, without looking at Syaoran. 'AAAAAAH!!! How could Ashino-sensei do this to me!' Sakura avoided Syaoran's gaze as much as possible. Eriol watched the two and all of a sudden he got an idea. He stared smirking and his glasses fogged up. Tomoyo heard a chuckle nearby and turned around. When she saw Eriol, she sighed and sweatdropped.

"Okay, Eriol-kun! What's up?" Eriol stopped smirking and tried to act normal.

"Oh, nothing! Nothing at all! Why do you suspect something, dear Tomoyo-chan?"

"Because number one, you were giving your oh-I'm-so-evil-and-have- something-planned-to-make-someone's-life-a-living-hell look!!! Number two, your glasses are fogged up, hiding those eyes of yours that always tell the truth!"

"Mou, Tomoyo-chan!!!" Eriol said.

"What's up? Tell me! now! Or else!" Tomoyo's eyes ignited with a flare, giving her an icy glare no one could match with. Eriol sweatdropped. 'Oh boy! Hiiragizawa, what have you gotten yourself into this time?!' "Ne, Tomoyo-chan…" Just then the bell rung. 'Whew! Saved by the bell! Arigato, Kami-sama!' (A.N.:Now doesn't that thought go through our heads a couple times during the day, ne? ^_^)

"Okay! Before you go, class! Make sure you do pages 340-348, problems 1-35 in your math books, read your literacy books and meet up with your partner over the weekend to get ready! Dismissed! Have a nice weekend! Sayonara, minna-san!"

"Sayonara, Ashino-sensei!" The students left. Sakura went to her locker and pulled her books out. Tomoyo ran up to her.

"Ne, Sakura-chan! Let's walk home together with Eriol-kun and Li-kun! Just like old times!"

"H-h-hai!!" Tomoyo waited for Sakura. Together, they walked over to the Sakura tree. Eriol and Syaoran were already there.

"Eriol-kun!" Tomoyo ran up to Eriol and hugged him. He smiled. Sakura looked at her, smiling sadly. Syaoran stared at her. He walked up to her.

"Come on, Sakura-san! Let's go!" Syaoran said, gently. 'I miss your old genki self! Oh, Sakura-chan! Did what I do in the past inflict this much pain in you? Onegai! Let me in! Let me help heal those wounds that I made in your heart!'

"O-okay!" They walked ahead, with Tomoyo and Eriol in the rear. Eriol looked up and saw the two looking down at the ground. 'I got the perfect plan to pull those two together!' He concentrated and whispered a couple of words. Sakura and Syaoran didn't feel the small amount of magic just emitted on them. Eriol smirked. Tomoyo glanced at him. 'Note to self, demand to know what Eriol just did to those two!! Just because I don't have magic, I did feel something!' They continued walking in silence.

'Sakura-chan…gomen…for what I did!'

"HOE!!!!!!!!!"

"Nani?"

"Syaoran-kun! Did you just say something?" Sakura looked at him bewildered.

"No…"

"You've got to be kidding! I heard something from you!"

"No…"

"All right!" Sakura sighed. 'I wish Syaoran would tell me what he's thinking!'

"NANI?!?!?!?!?!" Syaoran blushed a beet red and stopped walking. He stared after Sakura. She turned around and stared.

"What?!"

"What did you just say, Sakura-chan?"

"NOTHING!!!!"

"Yes you did! You just said, 'I wish Syaoran would tell me what he's thinking'!"

"What? How'd you find out?!"

"You said it out loud!" Tomoyo and Eriol peeked at them.

"No! I didn't!"

"Yes you did!"

"Then, you said, 'Sakura-chan…gomen…for what I did' out loud too!!"

"NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!" The two sorcerers looked back. Eriol gulped. Syaoran gave a threatening glare.

"Hiiragizawa-kun! What did you just do?!"

"Nothing! Why would you think I did something, my cute-and-very- handsome used-to-be-little-but-still-is-little-compared-to-my-past- incarnation descendant?"

"Grrrr…I told you to quiet it with that!!"

"Oh! Look at the time! Tomoyo and I have to go! We promised Sonomi- san that we'd go back early for some of her famous tea!!!" They ran off before Syaoran could pulverize Eriol and Sakura to Tomoyo.

"TOMOYO!!!!!!!!!!"

"Y'KNOW, HIIRAGIZAWA-KUN!!! THAT WAS A VERY LAME EXCUSE!!!!" They turned around and at the same time said, "I am sooo going to get them for this!" They stared at each other.

"Syaoran-kun…what do you think he did to us?"

'Syaoran-kun?!?!? Back to first names?! Yes!!!!'

"What's so great about me calling you by your first name?"

"WHAAAAAAAAA?!?!?! You heard!?" His face turned a bright red.

"I'm just happy that…well…I guess…you calling me by my first name…makes me feel more comfortable…y'know…it's like…we're friends…again!"

"Sure whatever!"

"I don't know what we have but we could go to my apartment and try to find out!"

"Fine with me!" Together they silently walked to Syaoran's apartment.

End of Chapter 3!
