Pure silence overcame the ghostly air between the two of them as they walked quietly along the path. Amethyst eyes glanced at those dark azure ones in silent anxiety before the raven-haired lady let out a soft sigh to herself. Footsteps slowly traced the grassy path, no words spoken…

"Look, Eriol-kun…" Tomoyo said, finally breaking the silence between the two of them, her eyes not daring to meet those of Eriol's. "I'm…I'm sorry…" She said softly, pausing in her tracks.

He continued walking for a few steps before stopping, not turning around. Tomoyo bit her lips, "I'm very sorry, ok, Eriol-kun? I didn't mean to do it…I promise…"

Eriol suddenly turned around, his eyes still crystalline as ever. Tomoyo glanced at the blue-eyed boy who was remaining emotionless as ever before she stepped forward, "Eriol-kun, I…I really don't know what happened, really…Everything started to happen so fast, I don't know what's going on…I-I really don't…"

Those marine orbs started to soften before he finally broke into a soft smile, "You wouldn't think I would believe Sallie, would you?" Tomoyo looked up in surprise when she let out a soft giggle, "Eriol-kun! You almost scared me to death!"

Both of them started walking again. "I heard of the party Sallie was organizing. When she didn't invite me, I knew something would happen…" Eriol explained. Tomoyo smiled, "So you came just in time, I guess." Eriol nodded slowly. She broke into a beam, "You always do, Eriol-kun!"

Eriol shrugged as they proceeded on their way. "Ne, Eriol-kun…where are you bringing me to?" Tomoyo asked, following him.

He suddenly stopped for a moment. He slowly glanced around the surroundings before uncertainly putting his hands into his pockets, "…I…I don't know." An amused expression crossed her face before she broke into fits of laughter, "Eriol-kun! You're always like this!"

Her face was full of fondness and warmth as she smiled, "Why don't we go to the funfair? There's a new one at the end of this area, I think!" Eriol shrugged, "I…I don't think so…"

"Come on, Eriol-kun! It'll be fun!" Tomoyo pleaded. Eriol shook his head, "I don't think so. It's late already…" He turned around and started to walk back to Shades when Tomoyo ran after him, "Eriol-kun!" His eyes turned to her, "What is it?" She let out a warm smile, "Maybe you can tutor me on History? Or teach me the piano again?"

Eriol shrugged before walking on ahead, allowing Tomoyo to follow behind.

"Not today…I'm tired…" Eriol finally said. Tomoyo's forehead creased, "You're having another fever?" He instantly shook his head, "No, no…I'm just…tired." Tomoyo smiled, "Then it's ok. Do you want me to walk with you back to Shades?"

"…That's not my decision to make…" He said before turning around, walking back. Tomoyo giggled before jogging up to him, "Then let's go!"

"I'm pretty sure things are definitely not going well for Ms. Daidouji-thinks-she's-so-good now!" Sallie exclaimed with a bright gleam in her eyes as she snapped her fingers, "Now I'll have the blue-eyed charmer all to myself! Eriol will finally learn to accept me!"

Sallie turned around, glancing across the living room before her eyes landed in contact with the telephone placed on the glass table. She rushed up almost instantly, picking up the phone and dialing a number.

"Hello? Is this Shades dormitory? …. Yes, yes. Sallie Kimosos here……..May I speak to Eriol Hiiragizawa please?" Sallie spoke through the receiver as a ringing tone met her ears.

"Hey, yo! Li Syaoran here! Who's this that wishes to speak to my bud?" The jubilant manly voice greeted over the line. Sallie rolled her eyes, "Sallie Kimosos…" A gulp was heard as Syaoran spoke again, "My great ol' bud is not here yet…I don't know where is he at the moment…Why don't you call back later?" The amber-eyed boy asked.

Sallie sighed, "Fine, I will." With that, she hung up.

"Man, Hiiragizawa! Thank god you weren't at the dorm just now! Sallie just called!" Syaoran cried out first thing as Eriol stepped through the door. Eriol rolled his eyes, closing the door, "Bitch…"

Syaoran shrugged as Eriol sat on the bed, pulling a magazine down to him. Noisily, the amber-eyed boy plopped down beside the 'snowman' with a naughty glint in his eyes.

"So, Hiiragizawa, whassup these days? Did things between you and…you-know-who…start to blossom?" Syaoran asked, trying to sound as normal as he could put the sentence. Eriol's eyes adverted up to those brown ones before flipping the page of the magazine.

"Shut." He warned, attention returning back to his magazine. Syaoran let out a horrible laugh before shutting his mouth. But not long, he spoke again, "So do you know it's her birthday…the day after today?"

Silence.

Blue eyes slowly got into contact with those amber ones. More silence before Eriol spoke, "…So?" Syaoran groaned, covering his face in his hands, "Man, Hiiragizawa! A man gotta do what a man gotta do! You gotta have some initiative, Snowman! You can't always depend on the girls to take the first move! They're always that shy!"

"Frick off…" Eriol warned but inside, his mind was reeling and his heart was twitching rather painfully.

"Damn…" The blue-eyed boy cursed as he doubled over, pained by the too-many twitches. Syaoran laughed, "I see you're attacked by twitches of the heart, too!" Eriol raised an eyebrow, "…How do you know?"

"MWAHAH!" Syaoran started his terrible laugh, "Well, Snowman, you gotta understand. When a man loves a woman, things become very unpredictable. One of the very first symptoms is when the heart starts to twitch every time he thinks of her. I had it every time when I see my favorite Sakura."

Eriol rolled his eyes, "Crap." Syaoran sniggered, "Anything you say, Hiiragizawa. But all I want to tell you is that you better do something good to Tomoyo on her birthday…There's this funfair in town that I bet she'll like. Take this chance to bring her there. She'll love it."

With that, Syaoran threw a smirk and a thumbs-up before exiting out of the dorm.

Eriol finally looked up, placing the magazine down.

Another twitch came.

Dammit.

"ERIOL! ERIOL!" Sallie cried out, hastily running down the steps to catch up with the dark azure-haired boy. Eriol rolled his eyes, fists clenched yet again.

"Frickin' bitch…" He cursed under his breath as he turned around, facing the usual annoying eyes of Sallie Kimosos. Sallie smiled, "Hey, Eriol! What's up today?" Eriol rolled his eyes, "Frick off."

"Ne, Eriol, I'm sorry I forgot to invite you to my birthday party yesterday! If only you came in time just to see how that Ms. Daidouji ruined the whole day! She was a --"

"Shut up." Eriol growled, walking off.

"ERIOL!" Sallie ran after him again, pausing him down. "Wanna go to the funfair the day after tomorrow? That's the day I'm free on! I've bought tickets for just the both of us. Don't make me disappointed!"

Eriol glared, "For the last time, I'm not going anywhere." He whispered fiercely before stalking off.

"ERIOL! ERIOL! WAIT!!!"

He ignored her as he ran into his dorm. Sallie frowned, crossing her arms together.

"Maybe it's time for Plot. No 2 to come into play…And this time, I shall not fail!"
