chapter four: First Date
Sakura woke up the next morning and saw a very angry Kero-chan. "WAAH!" she said. She jumped up and turned off her alarm clock. "Don't DO that Kero-chan!" she said.
"You needed to wake up." said Kero-chan. "You've hit the snooze button five times. You're going to be late to school!" he shouted.
"Oh no!" shouted Sakura. She jumped up and changed into her uniform. Grabbing her bag and quickly brushing her hair, she ran downstairs. She opened the lid on the brownie box and grabbed the smallest in sight.
"Sakura-chan!" said Fujikata. "Eat some real food."
"Can't." said Sakura. "Gonna be late!" she said running to the door. She pulled on her skates and shoved her shoes in her bag. Opening the door, she jumped out and started skating. "Bye Dad!" she called closing the door behind her. She skated straight towards the school, no stops. She didn't even notice that the cherry blossoms finally came into bloom. Dashing up the stairs, she began to pull off her skates. She ran to her locker and opened it. Shoving her skates in, she pulled her slipper/shoes out and pulled them on. She slammed her locked and ran to her class. She opened the door and ran to her seat and sat-just as the bell rang. She sighed.
"Almost late Sakura." said Tomoyo. Sakura grinned.
"Class... I hope some of you have brought in your field trip permission slips..they're due soon!" said the teacher. (MK: ha. betcha didnt think it was important. oh but just wait. i've got BIG plans for that field trip...mwahaha) "Now, as soon as the announcements are over, we will began the new math lesson!" she said. Sakua groaned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day went on normally, lunch the same except they all ate lunch together. (MK: you know, with chiharu, naoko, etc). And surprisingly, Sakura didn't fall asleep in History. Most likely because Syaoran kept kicking her or poking her whenever she began to nod off. Long at last, the bell rang. Everyone cheered. Afterall, it was Friday.
"So guys." said Meiling. "You wanna do anything today?"
"Remember?" said Tomoyo. "Syaoran is going to dinner at Sakura's." she said.
"But we can do stuff before that." said Meiling.
"Can't..." said Sakura. "I've got to get home." she said. She stood up.
"Well, the three of us can hang out." said Tomoyo.
"Go ahead." said Syaoran. "I have to stay after for about a half an hour then I have to run some errands for Wei." he said.
"We can help!" said Meiling.
"Thats ok." said Syaoran. "You two can hang out at Tomoyo's or something and watch old movies of us capturing cards." he said, standing. He too left.
Sakura stood outside the class room and when Syaoran came out, grabbed him and pushed him in the nearby closet.
"Sakura!" he shouted. "What the-"
"Shush!" she whispered. "Great excuse. I'll leave my cell phone at home so if Tomoyo calls, she'll get that." she said. "Now wait til Tomoyo and Meiling come by, then we leave."
"I'll get Meiling to leave the house and you can come by." said Syaoran.
"No!" said Sakura. "Too risky. You come to my house." she said.
"Deal." he replied. Then they heard Tomoyo and Meiling come by.
"Isn't it odd how neither can do anything?" asked Tomoyo.
"It is pretty weird but you never know." said Meiling. "But you know, its not a bad idea. We should go to your house and watch old movies." she said.
"But you should go home and change." said Tomoyo.
"Nah..I can just stay in this. It doesn't bug me..." said Meiling. Their voices started to fade out. When the were no longer heard, the two quickly exited the closet and went seperate ways. Sakura dashed to her locker and pulled on her skates. Packing everything up, she skated down the hall, out the door and down the street and headed for her house.
"Dad? You home?" she called.
"Hey Sakura!" replied Fujikata. "What would you and your friend like for dinner?" he asked as she came into the kitchen.
"Oh anything will be fine." said Sakura. "And we're going to hang out a bit before dinner so do you think you could have it ready around six, six thirty?" she asked.
"Sure!" said Fujikata. "Be home by six, just to be sure."
"Deal!" grinned Sakura. "I've got to go change!" she said and dashed upstairs to her room. She flung her bag on her bed and ran to her closet.
"Thanks for almost hitting me Sakura." said Kero-chan.
"Oh be quiet." said Sakura. "Look in my bag. You might find some pudding I snagged at lunch today." she said, digging through her clothes.
"Pudding?!" shouted Kero-chan. He doved into Sakura's bag and desperately looked for the pudding. "What flavor?" he asked, voice muffled.
"Chocolate." replied Sakura.
"Oh yes!" said Kero-chan. He continued digging.
Sakura pulled out a pair of white and pink capris with little pink cherry blossoms near the bottom. They capris were light pink at the top and turned white as they neared the bottom. She dug deeper in her closet to looked for a matching shirt. Then she found the perfect one. It was a spaghetti strapped shirt similar to the capris, as it was pink at the top and went white at the bottom, along with little pink cherry blossomd near the bottom of the shirt. Then it dawned on her.
"Tomoyo made this for me!" she said. It was a matching outfit she had given her for her last birthday. She slipped it on then hit her hands and knees to find the shoes to match. She dug around and finally found a pair of white sandals, that made her two and a half inches taller. The strap went around her ankle and across her foot, a little above her toes. There was also a criss crossing strap over the one on her foot. She ran to the mirror and brushed her hair until it was soft and silky. She grabbed a pair of cherry blossome earings and put them in her ears. She pulled out her two necklaces and let them show. She looked at herself in the mirror and grinned.
Kero-chan, meanwhile, had found the pudding and climbed out of the bag and began to slurp down the pudding. "Whats the occasion?" he asked.
"I'm just going to hang with Syaoran." said Sakura. "I told you already." she said.
"Oh yeah.." said Kero-chan. (MK: he's eating pudding right now folks, thats why he doesnt care to much about her hanging out with Syaoran.)
"I'm leaving my phone here." said Sakura. "DO NOT answer it." she said. "Not even if its Tomoyo or Meiling or anyone who knows about you. Except if its me. Then you can answer.
"Yeah sure..whatever." said Kero-chan.
Sakura shook her head. "Be good." she said and closed her door behind her.
"Mmmm..." said Kero-chan. "Pudding..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So Dad, how do I look?" asked Sakura. She came into the kitchen where her dad was reading a magazine. He looked up.
"Wow Sakura!" said Fujikata. "You look amazing!" he said. "So much like you mother. I know she would be proud." he said.
Sakura grinned. "Thanks Dad." she said. The doorbell rang.
"Have fun." grinned Fujikata. "And be home by six."
"Yes Dad!" said Sakura. She walked over and opened the door. There stood Syaoran. He looked a little surprised to see Sakura in that oufit.
"Nice oufit." he commented.
"Thanks!" replied Sakura happily. "Your's isn't too bad either."
Syaoran had on a forrest green button down shirt with neat blue jeans, slightly baggy at the bottoms. He wore sneakers, but she expected him too. Also, his hair wasn't so messy.
"No one's going to recognize us." grinned Syaoran.
"Bye Dad!" called Sakura as she closed the door. She walked down the stairs and she and Syaoran headed down the path.
"So what do you want to do?" asked Syaoran. "We can't go jumping in fountains."
Sakura laughed. "We can go...see a movie?" she suggested.
"I don't know if we'll have time." said Syaoran, looking at his watch. "Its about four now." he said. "What time are we eating?"
"We have to be at my house by six." said Sakura.
"So cut the movie out." said Syaoran.
"We can go to a skating rink and practice skating....you need it." said Sakura, eyeing him. He raised an eyebrow.
"If you want.." he said.
"Yeah!" said Sakura. "Lets go skating!" she said. She started walking fast towards the skating park.
"Sakura!" called Syaoran. "Wait up!"
She continued jogging and Syaroan ran to catch up with her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ohmigod!" said Meiling, she was laughing hysterically. "I can't belive I was that dorky as a kid!" she laughed.
"Its not too bad.." said Tomoyo, trying to hide her laugh.
"It too bad Sakura and Syaoran aren't here." said Meiling.
"Lets call Sakura and see if she can come over." said Tomoyo.
"Yeah!" said Meiling. "Then we'll call Syaoran and we can go have some fun again!"
Tomoyo grinned and grabbed one of her many phones. She dialed Sakura's cell phone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kero-chan finished his pudding happily when Sakura's cell phone started to ring. He looked at it. "Isn't there something I'm supposed to remember about the phone..." he said aloud. He shrugged and flew over to it. "Hello?" he said.
"Kero-chan?" asked Tomoyo.
"Hey Tomoyo!" he shouted.
"Where's Sakura?" asked Tomoyo.
"Hmm.." said Kero-chan. "Oh no! She told me not to answer the phone unless it was her! No no no no no.." he continued.
"Well where is she?" asked Tomoyo.
"Oh yeah!" said Kero-chan. "She said she was gonna go hang out with Syaoran. She even got all dressed up and everything!" he said. Then he realized what he had just said.
"WHAT?" shouted Tomoyo.
"WHAT?" replied Kero-chan. "Oh boy! I was too focussed on my pudding I didn't realize what Sakura was saying to me!" he said.
"So Sakura is hanging out with Syaoran?!" demanded Tomoyo.
"More like a date!" shouted Kero-chan. "I can't believe myself!" he shouted.
"Kero-chan!" said Tomoyo. "I have an idea. Meet me and Meiling at my house in ten minutes." she said. She hung up.
"Kero-chan is on the way!" he said and zoomed out of the window.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sakura is out with Syaoran?" asked Meiling. "And she didn't tell us?"
"My thoughts exactly!" said Tomoyo. "But no need to fear! Tomoyo-chan has a plan!"
"Well..." said Meiling.
"We follow them." grinned Tomoyo. "Of course, we have to go incognito."
"In disguise!" said Meiling.
"Under cover!" said Tomoyo. "Kero-chan is coming over and I have the perfect oufits for us. No one will know its us." she said.
The two high fived.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"How many skates?" asked the guy at the counter.
"One size eight and one size..." started Sakura.
"Nine and a half." finished Syaoran.
The guy went in the back and came out with two sets of skates. "It'll be a three dollar deposit and a dollar when you return em." he said.
Sakura and Syaoran each payed the three dollars then went over to put on the skates.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Meiling? Are you ready?" asked Tomoyo.
"Yeah!" called Meiling. She came out of the changing room. She had on dark red sunglasses with a red hat along with black jeans and sneakers and a red teeshirt. Over the tee shirt she had a red vest with pockets all over. "I feel like a spy." she said.
"You look like one too!" said Tomoyo, recording Meiling. Kero-chan zoomed in. "Are we ready?" he demanded.
"Yeah yeah." said Tomoyo. "Meiling, record my oufit too." she said, giving her camcorder to Meiling. She recorded it.
Tomoyo was wearing a dark blue hat with dark blue sunglasses. She had on a knee length skirt, black, and a blue three quarter sleeved shirt with a blue vest, a lot of pockets like Meiling. Except her hair was in a braid down her back. Meiling's hair was completely down.
"The Non-Magical Card Captors are back!" grinned Meiling, getting Tomoyo's oufit onm film. They high fived again.
"I can't believe you make me where something too!" shouted Kero-chan. He was wearing blue sunglasses and a little blue jacket.
"I was bored!" said Tomoyo, taking back her camera and recording Kero- chan who had jumped into one of her pockets. "Besides. Its cool." she said.
"And we need to be in the mood to spy and stay hidden from the two." said Meiling. "If we're not hidden, then Sakura will know you answered the phone and that you told us about their date!" she said.
"Its not a date." said Kero-chan.
"Kero-chan. It is but we just don't want to think of it that way." said Tomoyo. "So, lets get out and find our kawaii couple!" she shouted and they dashed out of the room and out of the house. (MD: ok, i'll let you know when the three spies catch up with sakura and syaoran. and once they do, they're getting everything on tape. lol)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Great Syaoran!" said Sakura. She was standing on her skates and trying to get him to stand. "Now let go of the chair." she said. He was standing up on two skates, but holding on.
"What if I fall?" asked Syaoran.
"You fall." said Sakura. "Just let go. We didn't even get to the rink yet!" she said.
Syaoran sighed and let go of the chair. He stood perfectly still. "There? Happy?" he asked, not moving.
"Move." said Sakura. "We at least have to get on the rink. Even if you do hold on to the side." she said. Syaoran moved a skate and didn't fall. (MK: prob. cuz he's skating on carpet...) "Good!" said Sakura. She skated away from him and stopped at the edge of the rink. "Skate over here now." she grinned.
Syaoran skated, slowly, but he did manage to get over to Sakura without falling. "How was that Miss I'm an Expert Skater?" he asked.
Sakura ignored the comment. "Good, but now you need to get on the rink." she said. Syaoran smacked his head. She skated onto the rink and Syaoran followed. He waved his arms madly and caught himself on the railing and pulled himself up.
"This is a lot more slippery than the carpet." he said.
"Duh." said Sakura. "Its the rink. Its supposed to be smooth like that." she said. "If you want, skate around holding the railing until you get the hang of it. Then let go." she told him. "But I'm going to skate around. See you!" she said and skated off.
Sakura sped around the rink, lapping a few people quite a few times. Then she jumped and twisted in the air. She landed and continued skating. Syaoran stared at her the whole time. Sakura kept doing more and more tricks as the DJ kept playing new songs. The next song came on and it was...(MD: bum bum bum...hold on i need to think of it...) "Anything But Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne.
Sometimes I get so weird / I even freak myself out / I laugh myself to sleep its my lulluby
Syaoran looked up at Sakura as she skated around.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where should we check first?" asked Meiling.
"Well if I know Sakura, and I do," said Tomoyo. "She might have gone to a roller rink. And the closet one is right around the corner. Lets go check there." she said.
"Great!" said Meiling and they dashed off.
"Say Meiling, about the engagement brake up.." started Tomoyo. "Who's idea was it?"
"It was mine." said Meiling. "Everytime I looked at Syaoran, I saw this loneliness. Even when he was with some friends, a part of him always seemed to be missing. He was asked out a few times and he turned every single one of them down." she explained. "I put two and two together and I decided the part missing was the part that was still in Japan. Still here, with Sakura. He may not show it, but he really loves her." she said.
"Meiling.." said Tomoyo.
"So, I went and talked to my parents and to Li Yelan, Syaoran's mother, and we decided we should probably break up our engagement." said Meiling. "I told them, about Sakura, and they aggreed."
"Are you ok with it?" asked Tomoyo softly.
"Yeah." said Meiling. "I kinda knew he always loved Sakura. I just didn't want to tell myself that. I was hoping he would love me...but! That was when I was little. You know, a ten year old stubborn girl with no grip on reality." she said, laughing.
"Well Meiling, there are plenty other fish in the sea." said Tomoyo. "And, you are a very pretty girl so you WILL find that special someone eventually." she said.
"Thanks Tomoyo." grinned Meiling. "I feel a lot better." she said. "Well, who's your special someone?" she aske.
Tomoyo went red. "No one yet.." she said.
"Come on!" laughed Meiling. "You're blushing!" she said.
"Well, it wouldn't work!" said Tomoyo. "The distance..." she said.
"WHO?" demanded Meiling.
"Too embarrasing.." said Tomoyo, going redder.
"Who who who?!" shouted Meiling. The two were still heading for the rink.
"No.." said Tomoyo.
"Who dammit!" said Meiling.
"Fine!" said Tomoyo. "Eriol..." she said.
"Oh! That guy that Syoaran told me about?" asked Meiling. "The one from England?"
Tomoyo nodded. "I always thought he was cute..." she blushed. "Oh look! Here's the rink!" she said and went in quietly. She and Meiling looked both ways then dashed behind the wall leading the the bathroom.
"Now what?" asked Meiling.
"We should check the rink." said Tomoyo. She looked around. "Lets go sit there! There's a fake bush behind the table and a wall in front of it with more plants! We'll be totally blocked from view." she said and the two quickly dashed over to the table and sat down. They found spots where they could look through the bushes and not be seen.
"Look!" whispered Meiling. "In the center, there's Sakura!"
Tomoyo grabbed her camera. She shoved it in the plant, hidden from view and looked through it. She spotted Sakura. "Found her!" she said.
"Told you!" said Meiling.
"But where's Syaoran?" asked Tomoyo, she looked around.
"Found him!" said Meiling. "He's on the other side..." she laughed, "holding on to the railing for dear life..." she started cracking up.
"There he is!" said Tomoyo. She zoomed in and got him on tape. "Is this perfect or what?" she asked.
"Great!" said Meiling. "I haven't had so much fun sinse yesterday!"
Tomoyo shook her head. "You make me wonder sometimes Meiling." she said and conintued recording.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura continued doing tricks and Syaoran continued holding on the railing until the DJ's voice boomed across the rink.
"Hey there people!" she shouted. (MK: ha! thought it was a GUY dj didn't ya?) "This next song is for skaters in twos only! Its kinda a slow, romanticish(MK: that is MY word! I made it up myself! no one can take it! HA) song so I advise you do find someone you'd slow dance with! Peace out!" she said and the music slowed down.
Sakura stopped skating. She looked around for Syaoran. Meanwhile, a guy who had been watching her starting coming up to her. But Sakura had already spotted Syaoran.
"Hey Syaoran!" she called and skated over to him. "Come on!" she said. "I want to keep skating and this way, you can let go of the railing!" she grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the railing. (MK: obviously, meiling and tomoyo and just about hysterical right now.)
Then the song came on. It was "It Is You (I Have Loved)" by Diana Glover. (MK: dont ask. its on the Shrek soundtrack).
"Oh I love this song!" said Sakura, humming the tune.
"Hey Sakura?" asked Syoaran.
"Mmm?"
"Can you let go of my arm?" he asked.
"Sorry!" she said, letting go. As she skated, Syoaran nearly fell over. She screached and grabbed his arm again. "Are you sure?" she asked. He nodded. Then the DJ came back on.
"And Remember folks, HOLD YOUR FRIEND'S HAND!" she said. "If I see anyone without a partner, you are off the rink!" she said. "Peace out!" she said. The music came back on and people began to clasp hands.
There is something that I see,
In the way you look at me.
There's a smile thats a truth in your eyes.
"So, uh, Sakura?" asked Syaoran.
"I know." she replied. She let go of his arm and grabbed his hand. And of course, they both went red. (MK: and tomoyo taped... and meiling watched...and kero-chan ate pudding...)
What an unexpected way,
On this unexpected day.
"Just try to skate Syaoran." said Sakura. She was skating slowly and kept preventing Syaoran from falling down.
"I am." he sighed. She grabbed his other hand and began to skate backwards.
Could it be this is where I belong?
It is you I have loved all along....
"How's that?" she asked. "Easier now that I'm pulling you along?"
"A little." he grinned.
There's no more mystery.
It is finally clear to me
Your the one my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along
Sakura pulled him along and once she bumped into two other people, causing Syaoran to crash into her, nearly knocking the both of them down. Sakura caught her balance at the last minute..then the lights darkened.
There were times I ran to hide
afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you
"Sakura..." said Syoaran. "I can barely see anything.."
"Don't worry." replied Sakura. "You won't get lost. I've got you." she said.
But now I know just who you are
And I know you own my heart
"You know..I think I've got the hang of it." said Syoaran.
"Then I'll let go..with one hand.." replied Sakura.
Finally this is where I belong
And it is you I have loved all along
"Hey Sakura..."
"Yeah..?"
There's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
Your the one my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along
"Well...I'm having fun.."
Sakura blushed. "Me too." she said. As the music came on she began to hum the tune. Closing her eyes and skating. Syaoran stared at her.
"Hey Sakura.."
"Mmm."
"Well..."
Over and over, I'm filled with emotion
Your love it rushes through my veins
Syaoran felt his face go red. He tightened his grip on Sakura's hand, causing her eyes to open and blush just as red. She looked at him.
And I am filled with the sweetest devotion
Cause I look into your perfect face
Syaoran started to slow down. Sakura kept up with his pace and slowed down as well.
"What Syaoran?" she asked.
There's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
"I think I've just realized something..." he said.
"And that is..." she replied.
Your the one my heart searched for so long
and it is you I have loved..
"I..." he mumbled.
It is you I have loved..
Sakura looked at him and noticed his red face. "Syaoran..." she said.
It is you I have loved...
Both Sakura and Syaoran stopped skating. They looked at each other.
All along....
They leaned in, closer... closer..
"SO skaters!" shouted the DJ. Sakura and Syaoran jumped and let go, with both hands. "How was that?" she asked. "Now everyone get back on the rink and skate away! Peace out!" she said and the song ended.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"NOOO!!" cried Meiling.
"Damn!" whined Tomoyo. "Thats the second time they almost kissed then didn't!" she said. "And both times I've been there! With my camera! Ready to tape!"
"That stupid DJ!" cried Meiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So Syoaran.." siad Sakura. "You wanna go do something else?" she asked.
"Sure." said Syaoran. "Its about five now," he looked at his watch. "So we have about an hour before we go to your house."
"Great!" replied Sakura. "So then lets go to the arcade!"
"I don't really like video games." said Syaoran.
"Oh it'll be fun!" said Sakura. She pulled him off the rink and to the counter where they had rented their skates. They sat on a bench and began to take off their skates.
Syaoran instantly pulled his off and wiggled his toes. "Ahh." he said. He pulled one of his sneakers back on.
Sakura was having a litte more problems with her skate. She managed to get one off but the other she couldn't untie. "Hey Syaoran, can you untie this for me?" she asked, pointing to her skate. "I can't get it."
"Sure." he replied.
But she shocked him by flinging her foot on his lap. (MK: for all you curious people, OF COURSE tomoyo is taping! she found another spot nearby...dont worry.) Syaoran blushed a little and began to fiddle with the knot.
"I can't get it." he said about a minute later. Sakura pulled her foot back over and tried to pull off the skate.
"Its no use." she sighed, putting her foot down.
"Let me try." said Syaoran. He began to stand up but Sakura flung her foot on his lap once again. He sighed and gave it a giant pull.
But with this giant pull came Sakura and somehow she landed in his lap instead of her foot. They both went red. (MK: DONT ASK! tomoyo is taping! lol)
Sakura pulled herself off and Syaoran tried again to pull it off. After a few more tugs, he got the skate off and they both sighed.
After Sakura put her sandals back on, they went up and returned the skates. Sakura went to give a dollar but Syaoran stopped her.
"Two dollars for two pairs of skates." he said, giving the man two dollars. He took the skates and gave them their receipt.
Sakura and Syaoran walked out, (MK: tomoyo, meiling and kero-chan close behind) and headed for an arcade.
"That was fun." said Sakura. "I think you actually learned how to skate better."
"With skates my size." replied Syaoran. They laughed.
"The arcade will be fun too." said Sakura. We can race cars. Thats just about the only thing I can beat." she grinned.
"Well that shouldn't be too hard." replied Syaoran. "Driving a car. I already have a permitt in Hong Kong." he said. (MK: they're 16. pretend u can drive at that age.)
"Really?" asked Sakura. "I can't even pass the written test in driver's ed." she sighed. "I don't know if I'm going to get a lisensce by the time I graduate."
"You'll be the only kid with no car." laughed Syaoran.
"Not funny." said Sakura, a slight grin on her face.
"At least you'll have skates." said Syaoran. Sakura glared at him. "Besides, the school isn't far away at all so there's really no point in driving." he said.
"Yeah I guess." said Sakura. "Oh look! Arcade!" she said and they turned into the aracade. (MK: yes. now the conversation shifts to tomoyo, meiling, and kero-chan)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So far so good." said Tomoyo. "They have no clue we're following them."
"Thats because we keep hiding behind things and people!" said Meiling. "There going into the arcade. Come on." she said.
"Oh boy! Video games!" cheered Kero-chan.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Look!" shouted Sakura. "Free car race!" she said. She grabbed Syaoran's hand and ran towards the game. She sat down in a seat and Syaoran sat next to her. Sakura put in two coins and Syaoran followed suit.
"Pick your car." said the game.
Sakura spun the wheel until she reached her number one car. It was a two seater convertable, silver with pink and white cherry blossoms painted on the side. (MK: its one of those cool convertables, narrow.. ya kno..) "I pick this one every time!" she said.
"Player two, pick your car." said the game.
Syaoran spun the wheel, looking for a cool car. Finally he found a small forrest green jeep with a black top. It also had a wolf painted on the back. "Found mine." he said.
"Racers ready." said the game. Sakura and Syaoran put their feet near the petals. "Get set..." they both gripped the wheel tighter. "GO!*BANG*" they put the petal to the metal and sped off. They were neck and neck racing down the road.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Can you see Tomoyo?" asked Meiling.
"Yeah." replied Tomoyo. "They're racing." she said. The three were hidden in one of those shooting games where a black curtain went around the egde so no one could see you. Tomoyo had her lens through a small opening ans was taping.
"Great." said Meiling. "We'll have to watch it later." she said. ~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran turned a corner and went a little past Sakura. She pouted and turned right after him. After more and more turns they finally came down to the finaly stretch.
"You're good Syaoran but I'm not letting you win." said Sakura. She passes him.
"I think I should say that." said Syaoran. He went faster and passed Sakura. But then she passed him. Finally, they reached the finished line and the WINNER sign flashes across Sakura's screen.
"Yes! I did it! I won!" she shouted. "I beat you and you have a drivers permit!" she jumped out of the seat and jumped around. Syaoran climbed out.
"Ok ok. You won." said Syaoran. He grabbed her shoulders. "You don't need to make such a big deal about it!" he laughed. He grounded her. "Lets go play another game."
"Whack a mole!" said Sakura, spotting the game not to far away. She dashed over to it followed by Syaoran.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh they're playing whack a mole!" said Meiling. "Can you still get them on tape?"
"Yeah." said Tomoyo, slightly moving her camera lens. "I'll get them don't worry."
"Hey Tomoyo-chan.." started Kero-chan. "Can I play this game? Can I can I can I?" he asked, going up and down.
"Shush!" said Tomoyo. "You can, but can you lower the sound? Otherwise I won't be able to hear what they're saying." she said.
"No problem!" said Kero-chan. He closed his eyes and glowed. Meiling put some change in and Kero-chan grabbed the controls. And he had lowered the sound. There was only a little sound. Meiling reclined in the seat and resolved to watching Kero-chan play the game.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura put in some change and so did Syaoran. They were playing against each other. "Ready? Set? Go!" shouted the game.
They grabbed the mallets as the moles came out and the two furiously tried to whack them. And when they did, they whacked them as hard as they could. Once when Syaoran whacked it, the game shook.
"Don't break it." said Sakura, her eyes not leaving the game as she whacked a mole.
"Don't worry." replied Syaoran, whacking a mole in his game. It went on for a little while until...the light flashes. "Oh!" said Syaoran. "Now who won? Huh?" he said.
"Fine." said Sakura. "But it was only one! One game out of two." she said.
Syaoran looked at his watch. "And its gonna have to stay at that because its quarter to five." he said. "We need to get to your house." he said.
"Yeah." said Sakura. "I guess we should." she said. They walked out of the arcade. (MK: of course, tomoyo, meiling and kero-chan are following. meiling is draggin kero-chan away however...it seems he wasn't finished with is game...*sigh*)

chapter four: First Date
Sakura woke up the next morning and saw a very angry Kero-chan. "WAAH!" she said. She jumped up and turned off her alarm clock. "Don't DO that Kero-chan!" she said.
"You needed to wake up." said Kero-chan. "You've hit the snooze button five times. You're going to be late to school!" he shouted.
"Oh no!" shouted Sakura. She jumped up and changed into her uniform. Grabbing her bag and quickly brushing her hair, she ran downstairs. She opened the lid on the brownie box and grabbed the smallest in sight.
"Sakura-chan!" said Fujikata. "Eat some real food."
"Can't." said Sakura. "Gonna be late!" she said running to the door. She pulled on her skates and shoved her shoes in her bag. Opening the door, she jumped out and started skating. "Bye Dad!" she called closing the door behind her. She skated straight towards the school, no stops. She didn't even notice that the cherry blossoms finally came into bloom. Dashing up the stairs, she began to pull off her skates. She ran to her locker and opened it. Shoving her skates in, she pulled her slipper/shoes out and pulled them on. She slammed her locked and ran to her class. She opened the door and ran to her seat and sat-just as the bell rang. She sighed.
"Almost late Sakura." said Tomoyo. Sakura grinned.
"Class... I hope some of you have brought in your field trip permission slips..they're due soon!" said the teacher. (MK: ha. betcha didnt think it was important. oh but just wait. i've got BIG plans for that field trip...mwahaha) "Now, as soon as the announcements are over, we will began the new math lesson!" she said. Sakua groaned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day went on normally, lunch the same except they all ate lunch together. (MK: you know, with chiharu, naoko, etc). And surprisingly, Sakura didn't fall asleep in History. Most likely because Syaoran kept kicking her or poking her whenever she began to nod off. Long at last, the bell rang. Everyone cheered. Afterall, it was Friday.
"So guys." said Meiling. "You wanna do anything today?"
"Remember?" said Tomoyo. "Syaoran is going to dinner at Sakura's." she said.
"But we can do stuff before that." said Meiling.
"Can't..." said Sakura. "I've got to get home." she said. She stood up.
"Well, the three of us can hang out." said Tomoyo.
"Go ahead." said Syaoran. "I have to stay after for about a half an hour then I have to run some errands for Wei." he said.
"We can help!" said Meiling.
"Thats ok." said Syaoran. "You two can hang out at Tomoyo's or something and watch old movies of us capturing cards." he said, standing. He too left.
Sakura stood outside the class room and when Syaoran came out, grabbed him and pushed him in the nearby closet.
"Sakura!" he shouted. "What the-"
"Shush!" she whispered. "Great excuse. I'll leave my cell phone at home so if Tomoyo calls, she'll get that." she said. "Now wait til Tomoyo and Meiling come by, then we leave."
"I'll get Meiling to leave the house and you can come by." said Syaoran.
"No!" said Sakura. "Too risky. You come to my house." she said.
"Deal." he replied. Then they heard Tomoyo and Meiling come by.
"Isn't it odd how neither can do anything?" asked Tomoyo.
"It is pretty weird but you never know." said Meiling. "But you know, its not a bad idea. We should go to your house and watch old movies." she said.
"But you should go home and change." said Tomoyo.
"Nah..I can just stay in this. It doesn't bug me..." said Meiling. Their voices started to fade out. When the were no longer heard, the two quickly exited the closet and went seperate ways. Sakura dashed to her locker and pulled on her skates. Packing everything up, she skated down the hall, out the door and down the street and headed for her house.
"Dad? You home?" she called.
"Hey Sakura!" replied Fujikata. "What would you and your friend like for dinner?" he asked as she came into the kitchen.
"Oh anything will be fine." said Sakura. "And we're going to hang out a bit before dinner so do you think you could have it ready around six, six thirty?" she asked.
"Sure!" said Fujikata. "Be home by six, just to be sure."
"Deal!" grinned Sakura. "I've got to go change!" she said and dashed upstairs to her room. She flung her bag on her bed and ran to her closet.
"Thanks for almost hitting me Sakura." said Kero-chan.
"Oh be quiet." said Sakura. "Look in my bag. You might find some pudding I snagged at lunch today." she said, digging through her clothes.
"Pudding?!" shouted Kero-chan. He doved into Sakura's bag and desperately looked for the pudding. "What flavor?" he asked, voice muffled.
"Chocolate." replied Sakura.
"Oh yes!" said Kero-chan. He continued digging.
Sakura pulled out a pair of white and pink capris with little pink cherry blossoms near the bottom. They capris were light pink at the top and turned white as they neared the bottom. She dug deeper in her closet to looked for a matching shirt. Then she found the perfect one. It was a spaghetti strapped shirt similar to the capris, as it was pink at the top and went white at the bottom, along with little pink cherry blossomd near the bottom of the shirt. Then it dawned on her.
"Tomoyo made this for me!" she said. It was a matching outfit she had given her for her last birthday. She slipped it on then hit her hands and knees to find the shoes to match. She dug around and finally found a pair of white sandals, that made her two and a half inches taller. The strap went around her ankle and across her foot, a little above her toes. There was also a criss crossing strap over the one on her foot. She ran to the mirror and brushed her hair until it was soft and silky. She grabbed a pair of cherry blossome earings and put them in her ears. She pulled out her two necklaces and let them show. She looked at herself in the mirror and grinned.
Kero-chan, meanwhile, had found the pudding and climbed out of the bag and began to slurp down the pudding. "Whats the occasion?" he asked.
"I'm just going to hang with Syaoran." said Sakura. "I told you already." she said.
"Oh yeah.." said Kero-chan. (MK: he's eating pudding right now folks, thats why he doesnt care to much about her hanging out with Syaoran.)
"I'm leaving my phone here." said Sakura. "DO NOT answer it." she said. "Not even if its Tomoyo or Meiling or anyone who knows about you. Except if its me. Then you can answer.
"Yeah sure..whatever." said Kero-chan.
Sakura shook her head. "Be good." she said and closed her door behind her.
"Mmmm..." said Kero-chan. "Pudding..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So Dad, how do I look?" asked Sakura. She came into the kitchen where her dad was reading a magazine. He looked up.
"Wow Sakura!" said Fujikata. "You look amazing!" he said. "So much like you mother. I know she would be proud." he said.
Sakura grinned. "Thanks Dad." she said. The doorbell rang.
"Have fun." grinned Fujikata. "And be home by six."
"Yes Dad!" said Sakura. She walked over and opened the door. There stood Syaoran. He looked a little surprised to see Sakura in that oufit.
"Nice oufit." he commented.
"Thanks!" replied Sakura happily. "Your's isn't too bad either."
Syaoran had on a forrest green button down shirt with neat blue jeans, slightly baggy at the bottoms. He wore sneakers, but she expected him too. Also, his hair wasn't so messy.
"No one's going to recognize us." grinned Syaoran.
"Bye Dad!" called Sakura as she closed the door. She walked down the stairs and she and Syaoran headed down the path.
"So what do you want to do?" asked Syaoran. "We can't go jumping in fountains."
Sakura laughed. "We can go...see a movie?" she suggested.
"I don't know if we'll have time." said Syaoran, looking at his watch. "Its about four now." he said. "What time are we eating?"
"We have to be at my house by six." said Sakura.
"So cut the movie out." said Syaoran.
"We can go to a skating rink and practice skating....you need it." said Sakura, eyeing him. He raised an eyebrow.
"If you want.." he said.
"Yeah!" said Sakura. "Lets go skating!" she said. She started walking fast towards the skating park.
"Sakura!" called Syaoran. "Wait up!"
She continued jogging and Syaroan ran to catch up with her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ohmigod!" said Meiling, she was laughing hysterically. "I can't belive I was that dorky as a kid!" she laughed.
"Its not too bad.." said Tomoyo, trying to hide her laugh.
"It too bad Sakura and Syaoran aren't here." said Meiling.
"Lets call Sakura and see if she can come over." said Tomoyo.
"Yeah!" said Meiling. "Then we'll call Syaoran and we can go have some fun again!"
Tomoyo grinned and grabbed one of her many phones. She dialed Sakura's cell phone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kero-chan finished his pudding happily when Sakura's cell phone started to ring. He looked at it. "Isn't there something I'm supposed to remember about the phone..." he said aloud. He shrugged and flew over to it. "Hello?" he said.
"Kero-chan?" asked Tomoyo.
"Hey Tomoyo!" he shouted.
"Where's Sakura?" asked Tomoyo.
"Hmm.." said Kero-chan. "Oh no! She told me not to answer the phone unless it was her! No no no no no.." he continued.
"Well where is she?" asked Tomoyo.
"Oh yeah!" said Kero-chan. "She said she was gonna go hang out with Syaoran. She even got all dressed up and everything!" he said. Then he realized what he had just said.
"WHAT?" shouted Tomoyo.
"WHAT?" replied Kero-chan. "Oh boy! I was too focussed on my pudding I didn't realize what Sakura was saying to me!" he said.
"So Sakura is hanging out with Syaoran?!" demanded Tomoyo.
"More like a date!" shouted Kero-chan. "I can't believe myself!" he shouted.
"Kero-chan!" said Tomoyo. "I have an idea. Meet me and Meiling at my house in ten minutes." she said. She hung up.
"Kero-chan is on the way!" he said and zoomed out of the window.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sakura is out with Syaoran?" asked Meiling. "And she didn't tell us?"
"My thoughts exactly!" said Tomoyo. "But no need to fear! Tomoyo-chan has a plan!"
"Well..." said Meiling.
"We follow them." grinned Tomoyo. "Of course, we have to go incognito."
"In disguise!" said Meiling.
"Under cover!" said Tomoyo. "Kero-chan is coming over and I have the perfect oufits for us. No one will know its us." she said.
The two high fived.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"How many skates?" asked the guy at the counter.
"One size eight and one size..." started Sakura.
"Nine and a half." finished Syaoran.
The guy went in the back and came out with two sets of skates. "It'll be a three dollar deposit and a dollar when you return em." he said.
Sakura and Syaoran each payed the three dollars then went over to put on the skates.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Meiling? Are you ready?" asked Tomoyo.
"Yeah!" called Meiling. She came out of the changing room. She had on dark red sunglasses with a red hat along with black jeans and sneakers and a red teeshirt. Over the tee shirt she had a red vest with pockets all over. "I feel like a spy." she said.
"You look like one too!" said Tomoyo, recording Meiling. Kero-chan zoomed in. "Are we ready?" he demanded.
"Yeah yeah." said Tomoyo. "Meiling, record my oufit too." she said, giving her camcorder to Meiling. She recorded it.
Tomoyo was wearing a dark blue hat with dark blue sunglasses. She had on a knee length skirt, black, and a blue three quarter sleeved shirt with a blue vest, a lot of pockets like Meiling. Except her hair was in a braid down her back. Meiling's hair was completely down.
"The Non-Magical Card Captors are back!" grinned Meiling, getting Tomoyo's oufit onm film. They high fived again.
"I can't believe you make me where something too!" shouted Kero-chan. He was wearing blue sunglasses and a little blue jacket.
"I was bored!" said Tomoyo, taking back her camera and recording Kero- chan who had jumped into one of her pockets. "Besides. Its cool." she said.
"And we need to be in the mood to spy and stay hidden from the two." said Meiling. "If we're not hidden, then Sakura will know you answered the phone and that you told us about their date!" she said.
"Its not a date." said Kero-chan.
"Kero-chan. It is but we just don't want to think of it that way." said Tomoyo. "So, lets get out and find our kawaii couple!" she shouted and they dashed out of the room and out of the house. (MD: ok, i'll let you know when the three spies catch up with sakura and syaoran. and once they do, they're getting everything on tape. lol)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Great Syaoran!" said Sakura. She was standing on her skates and trying to get him to stand. "Now let go of the chair." she said. He was standing up on two skates, but holding on.
"What if I fall?" asked Syaoran.
"You fall." said Sakura. "Just let go. We didn't even get to the rink yet!" she said.
Syaoran sighed and let go of the chair. He stood perfectly still. "There? Happy?" he asked, not moving.
"Move." said Sakura. "We at least have to get on the rink. Even if you do hold on to the side." she said. Syaoran moved a skate and didn't fall. (MK: prob. cuz he's skating on carpet...) "Good!" said Sakura. She skated away from him and stopped at the edge of the rink. "Skate over here now." she grinned.
Syaoran skated, slowly, but he did manage to get over to Sakura without falling. "How was that Miss I'm an Expert Skater?" he asked.
Sakura ignored the comment. "Good, but now you need to get on the rink." she said. Syaoran smacked his head. She skated onto the rink and Syaoran followed. He waved his arms madly and caught himself on the railing and pulled himself up.
"This is a lot more slippery than the carpet." he said.
"Duh." said Sakura. "Its the rink. Its supposed to be smooth like that." she said. "If you want, skate around holding the railing until you get the hang of it. Then let go." she told him. "But I'm going to skate around. See you!" she said and skated off.
Sakura sped around the rink, lapping a few people quite a few times. Then she jumped and twisted in the air. She landed and continued skating. Syaoran stared at her the whole time. Sakura kept doing more and more tricks as the DJ kept playing new songs. The next song came on and it was...(MD: bum bum bum...hold on i need to think of it...) "Anything But Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne.
Sometimes I get so weird / I even freak myself out / I laugh myself to sleep its my lulluby
Syaoran looked up at Sakura as she skated around.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where should we check first?" asked Meiling.
"Well if I know Sakura, and I do," said Tomoyo. "She might have gone to a roller rink. And the closet one is right around the corner. Lets go check there." she said.
"Great!" said Meiling and they dashed off.
"Say Meiling, about the engagement brake up.." started Tomoyo. "Who's idea was it?"
"It was mine." said Meiling. "Everytime I looked at Syaoran, I saw this loneliness. Even when he was with some friends, a part of him always seemed to be missing. He was asked out a few times and he turned every single one of them down." she explained. "I put two and two together and I decided the part missing was the part that was still in Japan. Still here, with Sakura. He may not show it, but he really loves her." she said.
"Meiling.." said Tomoyo.
"So, I went and talked to my parents and to Li Yelan, Syaoran's mother, and we decided we should probably break up our engagement." said Meiling. "I told them, about Sakura, and they aggreed."
"Are you ok with it?" asked Tomoyo softly.
"Yeah." said Meiling. "I kinda knew he always loved Sakura. I just didn't want to tell myself that. I was hoping he would love me...but! That was when I was little. You know, a ten year old stubborn girl with no grip on reality." she said, laughing.
"Well Meiling, there are plenty other fish in the sea." said Tomoyo. "And, you are a very pretty girl so you WILL find that special someone eventually." she said.
"Thanks Tomoyo." grinned Meiling. "I feel a lot better." she said. "Well, who's your special someone?" she aske.
Tomoyo went red. "No one yet.." she said.
"Come on!" laughed Meiling. "You're blushing!" she said.
"Well, it wouldn't work!" said Tomoyo. "The distance..." she said.
"WHO?" demanded Meiling.
"Too embarrasing.." said Tomoyo, going redder.
"Who who who?!" shouted Meiling. The two were still heading for the rink.
"No.." said Tomoyo.
"Who dammit!" said Meiling.
"Fine!" said Tomoyo. "Eriol..." she said.
"Oh! That guy that Syoaran told me about?" asked Meiling. "The one from England?"
Tomoyo nodded. "I always thought he was cute..." she blushed. "Oh look! Here's the rink!" she said and went in quietly. She and Meiling looked both ways then dashed behind the wall leading the the bathroom.
"Now what?" asked Meiling.
"We should check the rink." said Tomoyo. She looked around. "Lets go sit there! There's a fake bush behind the table and a wall in front of it with more plants! We'll be totally blocked from view." she said and the two quickly dashed over to the table and sat down. They found spots where they could look through the bushes and not be seen.
"Look!" whispered Meiling. "In the center, there's Sakura!"
Tomoyo grabbed her camera. She shoved it in the plant, hidden from view and looked through it. She spotted Sakura. "Found her!" she said.
"Told you!" said Meiling.
"But where's Syaoran?" asked Tomoyo, she looked around.
"Found him!" said Meiling. "He's on the other side..." she laughed, "holding on to the railing for dear life..." she started cracking up.
"There he is!" said Tomoyo. She zoomed in and got him on tape. "Is this perfect or what?" she asked.
"Great!" said Meiling. "I haven't had so much fun sinse yesterday!"
Tomoyo shook her head. "You make me wonder sometimes Meiling." she said and conintued recording.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura continued doing tricks and Syaoran continued holding on the railing until the DJ's voice boomed across the rink.
"Hey there people!" she shouted. (MK: ha! thought it was a GUY dj didn't ya?) "This next song is for skaters in twos only! Its kinda a slow, romanticish(MK: that is MY word! I made it up myself! no one can take it! HA) song so I advise you do find someone you'd slow dance with! Peace out!" she said and the music slowed down.
Sakura stopped skating. She looked around for Syaoran. Meanwhile, a guy who had been watching her starting coming up to her. But Sakura had already spotted Syaoran.
"Hey Syaoran!" she called and skated over to him. "Come on!" she said. "I want to keep skating and this way, you can let go of the railing!" she grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the railing. (MK: obviously, meiling and tomoyo and just about hysterical right now.)
Then the song came on. It was "It Is You (I Have Loved)" by Diana Glover. (MK: dont ask. its on the Shrek soundtrack).
"Oh I love this song!" said Sakura, humming the tune.
"Hey Sakura?" asked Syoaran.
"Mmm?"
"Can you let go of my arm?" he asked.
"Sorry!" she said, letting go. As she skated, Syoaran nearly fell over. She screached and grabbed his arm again. "Are you sure?" she asked. He nodded. Then the DJ came back on.
"And Remember folks, HOLD YOUR FRIEND'S HAND!" she said. "If I see anyone without a partner, you are off the rink!" she said. "Peace out!" she said. The music came back on and people began to clasp hands.
There is something that I see,
In the way you look at me.
There's a smile thats a truth in your eyes.
"So, uh, Sakura?" asked Syaoran.
"I know." she replied. She let go of his arm and grabbed his hand. And of course, they both went red. (MK: and tomoyo taped... and meiling watched...and kero-chan ate pudding...)
What an unexpected way,
On this unexpected day.
"Just try to skate Syaoran." said Sakura. She was skating slowly and kept preventing Syaoran from falling down.
"I am." he sighed. She grabbed his other hand and began to skate backwards.
Could it be this is where I belong?
It is you I have loved all along....
"How's that?" she asked. "Easier now that I'm pulling you along?"
"A little." he grinned.
There's no more mystery.
It is finally clear to me
Your the one my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along
Sakura pulled him along and once she bumped into two other people, causing Syaoran to crash into her, nearly knocking the both of them down. Sakura caught her balance at the last minute..then the lights darkened.
There were times I ran to hide
afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you
"Sakura..." said Syoaran. "I can barely see anything.."
"Don't worry." replied Sakura. "You won't get lost. I've got you." she said.
But now I know just who you are
And I know you own my heart
"You know..I think I've got the hang of it." said Syoaran.
"Then I'll let go..with one hand.." replied Sakura.
Finally this is where I belong
And it is you I have loved all along
"Hey Sakura..."
"Yeah..?"
There's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
Your the one my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along
"Well...I'm having fun.."
Sakura blushed. "Me too." she said. As the music came on she began to hum the tune. Closing her eyes and skating. Syaoran stared at her.
"Hey Sakura.."
"Mmm."
"Well..."
Over and over, I'm filled with emotion
Your love it rushes through my veins
Syaoran felt his face go red. He tightened his grip on Sakura's hand, causing her eyes to open and blush just as red. She looked at him.
And I am filled with the sweetest devotion
Cause I look into your perfect face
Syaoran started to slow down. Sakura kept up with his pace and slowed down as well.
"What Syaoran?" she asked.
There's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
"I think I've just realized something..." he said.
"And that is..." she replied.
Your the one my heart searched for so long
and it is you I have loved..
"I..." he mumbled.
It is you I have loved..
Sakura looked at him and noticed his red face. "Syaoran..." she said.
It is you I have loved...
Both Sakura and Syaoran stopped skating. They looked at each other.
All along....
They leaned in, closer... closer..
"SO skaters!" shouted the DJ. Sakura and Syaoran jumped and let go, with both hands. "How was that?" she asked. "Now everyone get back on the rink and skate away! Peace out!" she said and the song ended.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"NOOO!!" cried Meiling.
"Damn!" whined Tomoyo. "Thats the second time they almost kissed then didn't!" she said. "And both times I've been there! With my camera! Ready to tape!"
"That stupid DJ!" cried Meiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So Syoaran.." siad Sakura. "You wanna go do something else?" she asked.
"Sure." said Syaoran. "Its about five now," he looked at his watch. "So we have about an hour before we go to your house."
"Great!" replied Sakura. "So then lets go to the arcade!"
"I don't really like video games." said Syaoran.
"Oh it'll be fun!" said Sakura. She pulled him off the rink and to the counter where they had rented their skates. They sat on a bench and began to take off their skates.
Syaoran instantly pulled his off and wiggled his toes. "Ahh." he said. He pulled one of his sneakers back on.
Sakura was having a litte more problems with her skate. She managed to get one off but the other she couldn't untie. "Hey Syaoran, can you untie this for me?" she asked, pointing to her skate. "I can't get it."
"Sure." he replied.
But she shocked him by flinging her foot on his lap. (MK: for all you curious people, OF COURSE tomoyo is taping! she found another spot nearby...dont worry.) Syaoran blushed a little and began to fiddle with the knot.
"I can't get it." he said about a minute later. Sakura pulled her foot back over and tried to pull off the skate.
"Its no use." she sighed, putting her foot down.
"Let me try." said Syaoran. He began to stand up but Sakura flung her foot on his lap once again. He sighed and gave it a giant pull.
But with this giant pull came Sakura and somehow she landed in his lap instead of her foot. They both went red. (MK: DONT ASK! tomoyo is taping! lol)
Sakura pulled herself off and Syaoran tried again to pull it off. After a few more tugs, he got the skate off and they both sighed.
After Sakura put her sandals back on, they went up and returned the skates. Sakura went to give a dollar but Syaoran stopped her.
"Two dollars for two pairs of skates." he said, giving the man two dollars. He took the skates and gave them their receipt.
Sakura and Syaoran walked out, (MK: tomoyo, meiling and kero-chan close behind) and headed for an arcade.
"That was fun." said Sakura. "I think you actually learned how to skate better."
"With skates my size." replied Syaoran. They laughed.
"The arcade will be fun too." said Sakura. We can race cars. Thats just about the only thing I can beat." she grinned.
"Well that shouldn't be too hard." replied Syaoran. "Driving a car. I already have a permitt in Hong Kong." he said. (MK: they're 16. pretend u can drive at that age.)
"Really?" asked Sakura. "I can't even pass the written test in driver's ed." she sighed. "I don't know if I'm going to get a lisensce by the time I graduate."
"You'll be the only kid with no car." laughed Syaoran.
"Not funny." said Sakura, a slight grin on her face.
"At least you'll have skates." said Syaoran. Sakura glared at him. "Besides, the school isn't far away at all so there's really no point in driving." he said.
"Yeah I guess." said Sakura. "Oh look! Arcade!" she said and they turned into the aracade. (MK: yes. now the conversation shifts to tomoyo, meiling, and kero-chan)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So far so good." said Tomoyo. "They have no clue we're following them."
"Thats because we keep hiding behind things and people!" said Meiling. "There going into the arcade. Come on." she said.
"Oh boy! Video games!" cheered Kero-chan.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Look!" shouted Sakura. "Free car race!" she said. She grabbed Syaoran's hand and ran towards the game. She sat down in a seat and Syaoran sat next to her. Sakura put in two coins and Syaoran followed suit.
"Pick your car." said the game.
Sakura spun the wheel until she reached her number one car. It was a two seater convertable, silver with pink and white cherry blossoms painted on the side. (MK: its one of those cool convertables, narrow.. ya kno..) "I pick this one every time!" she said.
"Player two, pick your car." said the game.
Syaoran spun the wheel, looking for a cool car. Finally he found a small forrest green jeep with a black top. It also had a wolf painted on the back. "Found mine." he said.
"Racers ready." said the game. Sakura and Syaoran put their feet near the petals. "Get set..." they both gripped the wheel tighter. "GO!*BANG*" they put the petal to the metal and sped off. They were neck and neck racing down the road.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Can you see Tomoyo?" asked Meiling.
"Yeah." replied Tomoyo. "They're racing." she said. The three were hidden in one of those shooting games where a black curtain went around the egde so no one could see you. Tomoyo had her lens through a small opening ans was taping.
"Great." said Meiling. "We'll have to watch it later." she said. ~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran turned a corner and went a little past Sakura. She pouted and turned right after him. After more and more turns they finally came down to the finaly stretch.
"You're good Syaoran but I'm not letting you win." said Sakura. She passes him.
"I think I should say that." said Syaoran. He went faster and passed Sakura. But then she passed him. Finally, they reached the finished line and the WINNER sign flashes across Sakura's screen.
"Yes! I did it! I won!" she shouted. "I beat you and you have a drivers permit!" she jumped out of the seat and jumped around. Syaoran climbed out.
"Ok ok. You won." said Syaoran. He grabbed her shoulders. "You don't need to make such a big deal about it!" he laughed. He grounded her. "Lets go play another game."
"Whack a mole!" said Sakura, spotting the game not to far away. She dashed over to it followed by Syaoran.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh they're playing whack a mole!" said Meiling. "Can you still get them on tape?"
"Yeah." said Tomoyo, slightly moving her camera lens. "I'll get them don't worry."
"Hey Tomoyo-chan.." started Kero-chan. "Can I play this game? Can I can I can I?" he asked, going up and down.
"Shush!" said Tomoyo. "You can, but can you lower the sound? Otherwise I won't be able to hear what they're saying." she said.
"No problem!" said Kero-chan. He closed his eyes and glowed. Meiling put some change in and Kero-chan grabbed the controls. And he had lowered the sound. There was only a little sound. Meiling reclined in the seat and resolved to watching Kero-chan play the game.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura put in some change and so did Syaoran. They were playing against each other. "Ready? Set? Go!" shouted the game.
They grabbed the mallets as the moles came out and the two furiously tried to whack them. And when they did, they whacked them as hard as they could. Once when Syaoran whacked it, the game shook.
"Don't break it." said Sakura, her eyes not leaving the game as she whacked a mole.
"Don't worry." replied Syaoran, whacking a mole in his game. It went on for a little while until...the light flashes. "Oh!" said Syaoran. "Now who won? Huh?" he said.
"Fine." said Sakura. "But it was only one! One game out of two." she said.
Syaoran looked at his watch. "And its gonna have to stay at that because its quarter to five." he said. "We need to get to your house." he said.
"Yeah." said Sakura. "I guess we should." she said. They walked out of the arcade. (MK: of course, tomoyo, meiling and kero-chan are following. meiling is draggin kero-chan away however...it seems he wasn't finished with is game...*sigh*)
