Fanny chan: Well… due to the overwhelming response to my fic =^_^= That is in my fic's History of E+T, I have decided to update more often. Besides my exams are over though I hope I didn't did badly *shudders*. Wish me luck for it and on to today's joke.
Tomoyo:
Two friends John and Dave were two huge baseball fans.
Their entire lives, John and Dave talked baseball.
They went to 60 games a year.
They even agreed that whoever died first would try to come back and tell the other if there was baseball in heaven.
One night, John passed away in his sleep after watching the Yankee victory earlier in the evening.He died happy.
A few nights later, his buddy Dave awoke to the sound of John's voice from beyond. "John is that you?" Dave asked.
"Yes, it's me," John replied.
"This is unbelievable" Dave exclaimed. " So tell me, is there baseball in heaven?"
"Well I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"
"Tell me the good news first."
"Well, the good news is that yes there is baseball in heaven."
"Oh, that is wonderful, So what is the bad news?"
"You're pitching tomorrow night."
Chibi Fanny: In otherwords, he's dead *smiles*

The Lure of the Moon
By Fanny chan
Couples formed with the help of the epidemic
It had happened very suddenly. For the past week, epidemic of the flu virus had spread around campus. Fortunately, few students managed to escape this deadly sickness which had caused flu, cough and fever. Out of these few were Eriol, Sakura and Takashi.
*******************
On Wednesday, the day when the epidemic had started, Eriol came home (A/n: 'home' let's just say is his dorm k?) from class only to find Tomoyo shivering under her thick blanket, as well as his and the spare in their room. In other words, a total of three blankets enveloped her. Slowly, cautiously, he went up to her bedside and gasped.
Still sound asleep, Tomoyo's pale, yet rosy cheeks were lited with a light pink hue, a sign to show that she was not feeling well. Automatically, Eriol placed his hand on her forehead and recoiled immediately on contact as if it had burnt him which might be true if he had left his hand there a moment longer.
Determination flared from his very being as he vowed to take care of Tomoyo until she got better. With that, he went into the bathroom to take some freezing cold water to bring down Tomoyo's temeperature.
*******************
It was Friday. Syaoran had arrived in class coughing and sneezing. His tan face appeared slightly flushed.
Sakura's POV
He looks so adorable and handsome at the same time. It was almost inhuman.
"Beware Sakura. The boy behind you is not human. In fact, he is something beyond your wildest imagination," the voice of my late father rang in my ears. I sighed. I had been able to talk to my late family members which consists of my parents as well as telepathically to my brother who is always not at home daue to the fact he hangs out with his best friend and lover, Tsukishiro Yukito.
Anyway, I had 'spoken', telepathically that is, to my brother about Li and about what my parents told me. He was suspicious as well.
Suddenly, I felt Li vibrating unusual warmth as he walked past me.
Normal POV
"Li, are you feeling all right?" Sakura asked, corncerned. Syaoran was about to reply but was interrupted by his sneeze.
The teacher came in and spotted Syaoran sneezing. She walked up to him and said. "There is a flu virus spreading around campus and it seems that you have got it." She scruntinized him. "A fever perhaps. Go on back to your dorm and have a good rest. You are excused till you get better," the teacher said caringly. Syaoran nodded before heading out of the classroom back to his dorm.
Once arriving back, he entered the bathroom and scruntinized himself. "I thought werewolves were immune to sickness."
All at once, a voice appeared in his head and said. "Look deep into yourself and tell yourself that you never ever had human feelings".
Syaoran did as he was told and fell to the ground in shock for he had realized that he was no longer the immortal werewolf he had once been. His evil heart had split into two and another half of a new yet old one had joined with it. The half of his new heart was part of the human heart he had once had before his encounter with his father who was a werewolf as well. His father died out of grief as soon as he realized he had bitten, had tainted Syaoran, his only son.
Thus, the bottom line is, he is now half-human. Just at that moment, a knock broke his relverie. He opened the door after quite a while due to his dizziness and illness and found Takashi and Sakura at the door.
"Sakura wanted to visit you and see how you are doing," Takashi said as he and Sakura was let into the room. Sakura blushed as Syaoran nodded and lay on the bed. Tentatively, Sakura placed the back of her hand on Syaoran's forehead and found it burning. Hurriedly, she grabbed a thermometer from the first aid box and found his temperature a whopping 39 degrees celcius.
"You are very sick Syaoran," Sakura said worriedly as she headed to the bathroom. Takashi eyes went wide and then close with dreaded understanding. He smiled sadly at Syaoran before leaving a note for Sakura and with that, left the room.
Sakura returned with a bucket of cold water and a cool cloth was placed gently on Syaoran's forehead. "Takashi?" When there was no reply, Sakura spun round and saw the note Takashi had left her.
"Dear Sakura,
I know of your feelings to Syaoran and I don't wish to be the third party. I want to still be your friend but I guess being your boyfriend is not possible now is it? How did I know? You had called Syaoran's first name with so much tenderness yet he had not given you permission to do so. Besides, you had never called me so affectionate before. I understand Sakura. I really do. I will find someone new so don't worry.
Takashi."
Sakura stared at the note for a while before the voice of her mother floated through her mind. "Sakura, it is now safe to love Syaoran. Yamazaki will be all right. It fact, he will find someone new today. It is destined my child. Oh yes, you know this someone new."
"Thank you mother," Sakura blinked before bowing her head in respect. Then she turned and went back to Syaoran.
*******************
Takashi wandered aimlessly as he walked around campus. It was then that he saw, on a deserted campus walkway, a pretty girl with light brown hair lying on the ground moaning and shivering. Hurriedly, with directional help from the girl, he carried her back to her dorm.
"I'm Yamazaki Takashi. May I ask your name and your roomate's?" Takashi asked as the exhausted girl as she lay on her bed.
"My name is Mihara Chiharu and my roomate is Kinomoto Sakura," Takashi's looked shocked then smiled, realizing now that all he had for Sakura was a crush. However, this beautiful woman laid before him is definitely not a crush like Sakura and he hoped it will be something more.
Smiling, Chiharu looked at Takashi saying she would be all right and that she had just overexhausted herself to the extreme as usual. Takashi was not convinced and amazingly, they became best friends overnight. Sakura had not come back that day and neither did Takashi as they stayed in the other's dorm to look after their own real true love.
*******************
A week later, under Eriol's and Sakura's constant care, Tomoyo and Syaoran recovered fully respectively.
This ordeal was not a bad thing after all but merely another obstacle to get two pairs of star-crossed lovers together- the impossible relationship between victim and assailant.
*******************
Well, well, well… This week certainly has been an interesting one. I wonder if Tomoyo and Syaoran will be able to carry out what they had wanted to do to their destined partners. Well, all will be known in lets see…17 days?
*******************
How was it? Cheesy? Okay? Great? Please tell. I personally think this is cheesy. Thanks for your beautiful reviews and I hope my fic will be short but sweet. P/S: I can't really write many chapters coz' I have too little ideas. Hope you enjoy =^_^=
