Hey everyone! Wow, I didn't know how much you guys loved the introduction, so I guess I can pull Eriol and Tomoyo in permanently.. ~ mumbles how she's going to regret doing so later on ~

~ Eriol and Tomoyo pops in ~

Tomoyo: Oh don't worry angel-twinklez, we love you too!

Eriol: no comment

Angel-twinklez: ~ mumbles again ~ like I wanted yours anyway

Eriol: ~ glares ~ I SAID I WAS SORRY FOR BUGGING YOU! I mean, you did get a good grade on your project, right?

Angel-twinklez: ~ glares too ~ how would I know? I'm not the one that made me spill ink all over it because SOMEONE kept bugging me!

Tomoyo: ALL RIGHT! STOP EVERYONE! Angel-twinklez, you have to forgive and forget. And Eriol, we talked about this already. DON'T BUG ANGEL-TWINKLEZ ABOUT HOW SHE'LL MAKE THE STORY!

Eriol and Angel-twinklez: ~ bowed apologetically ~ sorry Tomoyo.

Eriol: ~ whispers to angel-twinklez ~ I don't think you want Tomoyo mad. It can get pretty ugly!

Angel-twinklez: ~ raises eyebrow at Eriol, then turns to the crowd ~ All right guys! Enjoy Chapter 7!

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS or the song, "Only Hope". Isn't it obvious I'm in love with this song? (Eriol: No. Angel-twinklez ~ glares ~ who asked for your opinion? Tomoyo: What did I say about you two arguing? Angel-twinklez and Eriol: Sorry Tomoyo)



Stuck with You: The Duet

~ Wednesday ~

After breakfast, Tomoyo and Eriol headed down the music room to practice the duet that they were going to do. "Hey Daidouji, You never told me what song we're going to do," Eriol said, taking his seat on the piano. Tomoyo gave him a music sheet. "This is the song we're going to do," she answered.

Eriol studied the music sheet carefully. "Okay, this is the plan: We both study the music sheet on different places, so we won't get distracted, and we'll meet back here at exactly 5:00 at noon," Tomoyo said. Eriol tore his eyes away from the music sheet and looked at Tomoyo. "Who made you in

Charge?" he asked. Tomoyo leaned forward, her face inches away from Eriol. "You don't want me mad, do you Hiiragizawa?" she asked, looking straight into his sapphire eyes, all the while trying hard not to blush. Eriol gulped. "N-no," he stammered. He was never this close from Tomoyo, and by the way

She's staring at him like that, it took all his self-control not to grab her face and kiss her. Tomoyo forced herself to look away, and when she did, she pulled back, grinning. "Great! I knew you'd see it my way." She said triumphantly. A plan formed on Eriol's head, and he stood up in front of Tomoyo.

"I'll let you be in charge in turn for something else," he said, smirking. Tomoyo eyed him suspiciously. "I don't like that look of yours," she stated. Eriol chuckled. "Well, it's either you let me in charge, or you'll be in charge in one condition," he said. Tomoyo groaned and rolled her eyes. "All right, what is it

That you want from me?" she asked. Eriol smiled evilly. "I'll let you be in charge, if you'll let me sleep in the same classroom as you." He said. Tomoyo's jaw dropped. "That's bribery!" she exclaimed. Eriol ran a hand through his hair. "That's the way life goes," he simply said. Tomoyo glared at him for

Awhile, but gave in after. "All right," she sighed. Eriol patted her on the shoulder. "Great! Then I guess I'll be busy moving my things back to our classroom!" he smiled at her, but Tomoyo only glared at him. Eriol just laughed and left the music room. Tomoyo narrowed her eyes at the door for a

Moment before looking at the music sheet. "I'll make him pay later on," she muttered to herself before studying the lyrics of the song.

~ 5:00 at noon ~

"Well, I got all my stuff at the classroom," Eriol said, entering the music room, where he saw Tomoyo rubbing her temples. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked. Tomoyo looked up and smiled weakly at him. "I'm okay," she answered. "This is normal. I get headaches when I study too much. It's a Daidouji

curse." Eriol laughed and took his seat on the piano. Tomoyo went over to him. "Did you even study the music sheet?" she asked. Eriol placed the music sheet on the music holder. "Of course," he replied. Tomoyo got confused. "But didn't it take you the whole time to move all your stuff into the

classroom?" she asked. Eriol nodded in response. "So how did you study the music sheet?" Tomoyo asked, racking her brain for a possible explanation. "I'm the reincarnation of Clow Reed, remember?" Eriol said. Tomoyo rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah. How could I forget?" she said sarcastically. Eriol placed

his hands on the keys of the piano, "Ready when you are," he said. Tomoyo sat beside him and smiled. "Ready," she said. Eriol swallowed hard. NOW how was he going to concentrate when Tomoyo is millimeters away from him? But he forced his mind to concentrate on the music sheet and he started

Playing. A moment later, Tomoyo joined him.

There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold

But you sing to me over and over and over again

Eriol almost forgot the next note because of Tomoyo's beautiful voice, but got his senses back as soon as it left.

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours, I pray

To be only yours I know now...

You're my only hope

Tomoyo was having a hard time getting her head straight, partly because of her pounding head, but also because Eriol kept brushing his arm at hers, and it send some kind of tingling feeling in her. - Could it be that I'm more than attracted to him? - She thought, but continued on the song.

Sing to me the song of the stars

Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again

When it feels like my dreams are so far

Sing to me all the plans that you have for me over again



So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours, I pray

To be only yours I know now...

You're my only hope

Eriol took in Tomoyo's scent absent-mindedly. It seems that her scent was the only way he can keep his head straight. - Oh how I love you so much, - He thought to himself.

I give you my destiny

I'm giving you all of me

I want your symphony singing in all that I am

At the top of lungs

I'm giving it back

Tomoyo thought about all the things that she was feeling when Eriol was around, and reality hit her hard. - Oh my God, - she thought. - I'm not attracted to Eriol. I'm in love with him! -

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours, I pray

To be only yours, I pray

To be only yours I know now...

You're my only hope

Tomoyo turned to face Eriol, smiling at him as she finished the song, who smiled back at her. She finally faced the fact that she WAS in love with Eriol. - No use hiding it, or fighting it, - she thought. Then she saw Eriol leaning forward to her slowly, and she found herself following his gesture. But as soon

As their faces were inches away from each other, Tomoyo's watch beeped. Tomoyo pulled back and looked at her watch. She gasped and grabbed Eriol's arm. "That's the second time that we lost track of time for your cooking lesson! Come on! We're going to make sushi and don't you dare

Agree with me!" she exclaimed, covering the moment that happened a while ago. Eriol, who just snapped out of his trance, got the idea of what Tomoyo was trying to do and followed along. "What are you talking about? I love sushi! The only problem is that I don't know how to make it," he said, but at the

Same time, a question popped into his head. - Is it possible that Tomoyo might feel the same way about me as I feel about her? - he thought, and smiled as an image of Tomoyo and him going out entered his mind.



Angel-twinklez: So how was it guys? Hey, at least Tomoyo finally realized that she's in love with Eriol, right? ~ Turns to Eriol ~ There! Are you happy now?

Eriol: ~ nodded, but glared after ~ But I'm not sure what Tomoyo feels about me!

Tomoyo: ~ appeared out of nowhere and laid her head on Eriol's shoulder, and Eriol wrapped his arm around her ~ Of course you know how I feel about you Eriol!

Angel-twinklez: ~ cutting the sappiness ~ All right everyone! Review please! And I'm REALLY getting sick of these two lovebirds mumbling sappy stuff to each other.

Tomoyo and Eriol: HEY!

Angel-twinklez: ~ laughs at them, then realized that Eriol and Tomoyo are chasing after her ~ AAAHHH!!! Bye everyone!!!!

Tomoyo and Eriol: ~ running after angel-twinklez ~ Come back here angel- twinklez! When we get you, let's see who's going to laugh then!!!!
