Disclaimer: I'm in a pretty bad mood today. Writing this disclaimer stuff is making it worse. Oh well. Here goes… don't own CCS or CC. I wish I do, it'll lighten my mood by a rather good lot. I've only just started secondary school so do NOT, I repeat, do NOT sue me. Oh yes, neither does GameBoy Advanced or Pokemon Blue, Red, etc. do not belong to me. They belong to Nintendo.

I'll be mentioning the GameBoy and Pokemon much later in the fic. Now, enjoy!

Oh yes, before I start, I've got a favour to ask of you guys, if anyone either shoots air rifle or lives in Singapore and knows where to buy the CCS manga, VCDs & DVDs, e-mail me.

*Chapter 3: Heartbreaking News*

~*~ Flashback ~*~

"Oh…" Sakura said, returning to her former depressed state. "Well, in case you're wondering why I came down, I came down because I decided Syaoran had the right to be happy, even if it isn't with me." Just then, the bell rang and Tomoyo burst in, "Sakura! I need to talk to you! It's about Syaoran!"

~*~ End Flashback ~*~

Hearing Syaoran's name, Sakura froze on the spot. ^Oh no! I hope he's alright. ^ ALRIGHT?! HE DUMPED YOU AND YOU HOPED HE'S ALRIGHT?! ^ I know… but hey, I still love him and he DOES have the right to be happy. ^ Oh FINE! If that's the way you want to be, all selfless and naïve, I'm just gonna sit here in my corner of your brain and sulk until you come begging me to help you survive the real world. * Starts sulking *^ "What happened Tomoyo?" Sakura asked, after having a little argument with the little voice in the back of her head.

"Sakura…" ,Tomoyo replied, looking nervously at Touya and Kero, "…Let's go up to your room. I don't think I wanna tell you in front of them." Making a gesture to our two clueless schemers.

* In Sakura's room *

"Sakura, about Syaoran…um…you guys…um…" ,Tomoyo didn't want to say the two dreaded words in front of Sakura, afraid that her kawaii sakura blossom would start to cry, "um…* co- broke up –ugh * how long ago?"

Happy about the way her beat friend cared about her, and thinking the way she covered up the so-called dreaded words was funny, her mood lightened up the slightest bit and she replied, "About ten, eleven days ago."

"Oh. My. God. I didn't know Syaoran was such a fast player!"

"Wha…What do you mean?"

"This girl, um…what was her name? Oh yeah, Ji Gan Qing, she just moved here from Beijing, China. Few days ago, Eriol and I were trying to squeeze even the slightest morsel of information out of Syaoran, He was walking backwards, screaming something about us invading other people's privacy all the time at us, then she ran into him. She got lost on the way to the post office, she had to deliver something, anyway, she fell on top of Syaoran, but unlike clueless little old you…"

"Hey!"

"…She jumped off immediately. We saw him blush, then he gave her directions to the PO and ran off real quick. Then, um…they kinda became really good friends and today, Eriol and I, caught him asking her to be um…his um…girlfriend." (A/N Ha! Some of you guys expected him to do something like commit suicide, didn't you? Well, sorry to burst your bubble, I think he is soooooo incredibly CUTE that whoever tries to kill him off in their fic should be killed instead) ,Her tone dropping slightly at that last word, hoping she didn't break the fragile blossom presented before her. However, Sakura heard it all. She took it all in, bit by bit, absorbed it in. Her face saddened, her eyes, once filled with worry (Remember the little-voice- in-the-back-of-the-head argument?), filled with pain and sorrow. She fell into her best friend's embrace (A/N No! This does NOT contain any shoujo ai at all. Nothing against leses [les, short for lesbian] though) and let Tomoyo comfort her, as tears welled up in her eyes.

After that, Tomoyo persuaded her to go for a sleepover in her house, wanting to help her broken-hearted cherry blossom. When she went down to tell Touya, he was more than happy to oblige, because that meant more scheming, now he had all the more reason to, Kero had informed him of Syaoran's new girlfriend after spying the day before.

* At Tomoyo's House *

Tomoyo was getting starry-eyed, prancing around her room, picking up materials off the floor, bed, tables, everything. (A/N Am I making her sound insane?) She was making clothes for her kawaii sakura blossom to where during the two holiday camps most of their friends were going to, that she had persuaded her to go to. Her mom was going to pay for everything, which was especially unproblematic for the second one, which her company was sponsoring.

The first camp, Camp Pop, was named like such because this was a camp that usually only the popular kids in their respective schools, which Sakura and Co. were, would go to that holiday camp. Heck, even the counselors were the most popular kids in their universities. Camp Pop lasted five days and four nights.

The second camp, Camp Prick, was named in such a way because (A/N I'm out of ideas. Haha, as if) the counselors and campers always played tricks on each other. For those of you who too absolutely DAFT and STILL don't get it, it's a cross between prank and trick, and 'trank' just doesn't sound right. This one lasted fourteen days and thirteen nights.

Where did I leave off, oh yeah * returns to story mode from informative mode *

Her mom was going to pay for everything, which was especially unproblematic for the second one, which her company was sponsoring. She also had called Touya and Fujitaka, at the dig site, about where Sakura was going to be. Touya had also found out earlier on that Syaoran was going to those two same camps from Kero and signed up to be a counselor. Little did he know, Nakuru found out about that, and signed up too. (A/N For those of you who are wondering if they meet the standards of Camp Pop, they always did attract a rather good lot of attention whenever Nakuru glomps him in the hallways of the university they both go to, and Touya starts screaming and gasping for air.

When they first entered university, they were kinda in the middle of popular and just plain geeky, which means that they looked like they were popular, even though they were just not-so-nobodies, which means…oh heck! I don't care go figure that out for yourselves and maybe explain it to me. At this point, I don't understand it either.

Anyway, they were in that state until Nakuru found out that Touya went to that university when she looked at the list of people who had made the soccer team, which he had. She knew that he had to go check the list, so she hid behind the lockers next to the notice board the list was on. Sure enough, Touya came by, and while looking at it, searching for his name, he heard a deafening shriek right next to his ear, "YOU MADE THE TEAM!!" He turned around clamping his hands over his ears, wincing, only to see the demon guardian from hell. "A…A…Aki…Akizuki…Ahahaha…what are…uh…you doing here? Ahahaha" He laughed nervously, fully aware of what she was capable of, while thinking ^To think I was glad that I escaped her. Oh what a lovely two weeks of school it had been. Too bad it's not gonna be that way anymore. Goodbye, hopes of ever being Nakuru-free. Oh NO. She's got that look. Ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit…^

Just then, she glomped him, shrieking in her loud and shrill voice, "TOUYA!! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE. TOUYA CHANT!! TOUYATOUYATOUYA…"

It was then that the guys started noticing Nakuru and decided that she was cute, in her own cute and bubbly way. It was also then that, the girls decide that the fierce glaring bishounen (spelling??) had a scared kawaii side, and that maybe he was cute after all.

At the end of the day, Tomoyo had finished making/designing eight dresses, nineteen tops, twenty bottoms, six jackets & five swimsuits. (A/N Bit paranoid we're getting here, aren't we?) They were going to continue everything the next day, before Sakura leaves after dinner. Sakura had got Tomoyo to stop making her try stuff on only after fake-but-very-real- looking tears welled up in her eyes. It was tiring because she had to rush in and out of the bathroom, when she started slowing down, Tomoyo would literally push and pull her in and out, and she had to try, sometimes in vain, to prevent herself from falling. On top of that, when Tomoyo altered the clothes that were on her, she had to stay for a long time in this weird pose that required her to stand straight with her arms out-stretched, kinda like a 't' shape.

Tomoyo stopped because she could not stand to see her kawaii sakura blossom crying. It was already eleven o'clock p.m. by then, and her hyperness had just worn off. In case you're wondering, Tomoyo was in such a great hurry because the first camp started in four days, and she thought that having completely new outfits would cheer Sakura up even the littlest bit. So, they went to bed after brushing their teeth and changing. They slept in the guestroom in their sleeping bags made by Tomoyo, because Tomoyo's bedroom was still littered with material, thread, and stuff like that.

They stayed up chatting about what the camps would be like, until Tomoyo fell asleep, and Sakura lay awake, confused by the many thoughts she was running through, until she stopped at one. That one she understood perfectly. There was no "how?", "what?" or "why?" ^Syaoran dumped me and now has a new girlfriend. That's a fact.^ she thought, as tears trickled down her cheek, onto her pillow, as she cried herself to sleep that night.

* three day time gap *

They had finally got her dresses done, and packed. Sakura now had five over- stuffed suitcases presented before her…"Hoe!!" Correction, make that four over-stuffed suitcases and one exploded suitcase with clothes all over the floor. "Hmm…Sakura, has it ever occurred to you that you could use the Big Card to make the inside of your duffel bigger, and the Change Card to make your luggage lighter?" ,Tomoyo asked. "Good idea! Tomoyo, you are so smart." Sakura did her stuff, and picked up the pastel pink, cherry blossom embroidered duffel, containing everything she'll be using for the two camps, make-up, toothbrush, clothes (which took up a MAJOR portion of her bag), GameBoy Advanced, her Pokemon Yellow, Red, Blue, Green (there is such a thing, it's the only one that wasn't translated into English because the graphics and colouring was bloody lousy), Gold, Silver, Advanced (Coming out soon here in Singapore) and Crystal versions GameBoy cartridges, and other stuff. She then bladed home in those platform/blades of hers to cook dinner.



Longest chapter I've done, and I'm rather pleased with myself. Please R+R and wait for the next chapter to come, where Sakura sets out to her camp, and more is revealed about Eriol's test.
