Camp times two
*Chapter 12: Camp two, Day three*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
"Oh right. Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."
Syaoran smiled, "Ditto."
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
"SORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRY!" Sakura yelled as she ran as fast as she could in her half-asleep state, in her furry pink bunny slippers and with her messy hair all over the place.
"Once again, it's the kaijuu that's late." Touya said.
Uh-oh. BIG trouble. At this comment, Sakura woke up like she had just downed five litres of extra strong black coffee in record time. She kicked him SO hard that he collapsed in pain, grabbing his leg and screaming for an ambulance.
Laura Cooper, or Ms. Laura as they're supposed to call her, just happened to walk past, and heard Touya's yells for an ambulance. She ran in yelling, "Is everyone alright?"
The others sweatdropped (with their cute black faces too) and turned to face her, then they pointed to the Kinomoto siblings.
There they were, Touya on the floor screaming "KAIJUU!" or "HAAAAAAALP!" and Sakura screaming back, "I AM NOT A KAIJUU!" and kicking him.
"Aren't they Touya Kinomoto and Sakura Kinomoto?" Laura asked.
They nodded stiffly.
"Family feud huh?"
They nodded again.
She sweatdropped too and slowly backed away and out but accidentally let the door slam behind her. Touya and Sakura turned and said, synchronised, "That was Ms. Laura right?" The others nodded. "Shit."
They started to draw and once again, Eriol worked his magic. Sakura drew 'Sparkle', he drew 'Metallic, Chiharu drew 'Party Time', Fuji drew "Post- Prom', Tara drew 'Goth' & Xi Lang drew 'Punk'. It was then discovered that even the counsellors had a theme, 'Fairytale'.
The rest of the morning, they had free, and they prepped for the Block Party. Tomoyo automatically took charge of the costumes. She lined them up outside her room and let them in one by one to take their measurements and recorded down their themes.
It was then that most of the 'asking out' took place. Syaoran had already asked Sakura and during the hike, Eriol had already asked Tomoyo. Meiling had approached Fuji and asked him, "Would you...um...like to go to the party with me?"
He opened his mouth to reply and then she took it wrongly and started babbling, "OfcourseIdon'tmindifyoudon'twanttoIcanjustgogetanotherdate..." He laughed and put his finger on her lips, making her blush. "Sure." He smiled. "But I thought the guys had to ask."
"Well, a tomboy's close enough." They started laughing.
She skipped with joy for a second or two thinking ^Yay! He said YES! YAY~!^
Chiharu, on the other hand, marched up to Takashi while he was talking to the Chen bros and waved her finger pointedly at his face. Of course, being her boyfriend for so long, he understood what she meant and said, "Alright, alright, I'll take you."
She marched away triumphantly as the three guys around him started laughing their asses off.
Naoko and Satoshi were looking for each other and when they found each other, they started talking at the same time, "Hey, do you...You first...No you...FINE!...Do you want to go to the party with me?...Sure!" Then they started laughing, or rather giggling in Naoko's case.
Ryu just marched up to Rika, looking confident and all, tapped her on the shoulder, but the moment she turned around, he turned into a blabbering idiot, "W...W...Wo...Would...y...you...like...togotothepartywithme?"
She laughed her musical laugh and said, "Sure, of course I'll go with you."
Meanwhile, Lara was 'talking' to Xi Lang, ^Well, I don't suppose you guys have dates already.^
^Well, neither do you.^
^You guys can give up hope. Sakura and Tomoyo are taken, Meiling just asked Fuji, Naoko and Satoshi are going, Ryu asked Rika.^
^And Takashi's DEFINITELY taking Chiharu. Hahaha.^
^What's so damn funny? Wait, I don't wanna know.^
^Haven't you realised that if all the girls are taken, all the guys would be too?^
^Oh shit! The girls won't like this...^
She broke the connection and the girls huddled together at the same time as the guys. After a while two "F***"s rang through the corridor. Kara and Xi Long turned to glare at each other before turning back.
Lara 'said' ^Well, the girls want to go.^
^You're not suggesting...GROSS!^
^Well, we can go as...ugh...dates...ew...and then split up to enjoy ourselves.^
^I can't even THINK about it! YOU asking US out?! GROSS^
Knowing their weakness, Lara smirked.
^What is that smile for? Waitaminute. I know that smile. Oh no! Nonononono. We're learning from our mistake. Don't you even TRY that.^
^Kara predicts a WONDERFUL buffet. Sushi, sashimi, temaki, gyoza, away from the Japanese cuisine, scallop, crab claws, petit fours, blueberry tartlets, hm-hmm. CHOCOLATE BARS.^ She knew she struck a nerve by the way he cringed.
^You're evil, man, evil.^
^What can I say? Money is the root of all evil, and according to that e- mail you sent us, girls EQUALS evil.^
He turned to talk to the guys and there was sobbing and "SHIT"s all over the place. He turned back to her with a submissive look on his face ^All right, you win, we'll go. And you LIED about the chocolate bars. They were actually...^
^Little chocolate animals, chocolate cake, chocolate fondue, chocolate milkshakes...^
^SHUT UP!^
Tomoyo had done the designs in record time. Once again, Sakura helped by releasing the Create and Mirror Cards. The outfits lay on the carpet as Tomoyo inspected them. Suddenly, she turned to Create, raised her hand and said, "High five, gal pal! We make the greatest team yet!"
*Later*
Roughly an hour before lunch, a counsellor from Cabin 2, Ken Migame, knocked on the door, which Yukito answered, "Hey Ken. What can we do for you."
"You can start by going to see the chicken coop (they give nicknames to their Laura Cooper and Layla Campbell, mushroom soup) STAT. And those ten kids too. Those two guys from Cabin 5 are on their way already."
"About last night?"
"DUH."
"SAKURA! SYAORAN!..."
*At Laura's office*
"Now, I understand if ONE pair or group goes missing, but why were ALL of you together?" Laura asked.
"Do have an overhead projector Ms Laura?" Eriol asked.
"Why would you an OHP?"
"I thought you ask for an explanation and I got these transparencies prepared."
"Uh...sure."
Eriol set the OHP up and started his presentation. There were 9 different maps prepared, meaning that 1 pair from each cabin would be on the same route and, "Tomoyo and I were on the same route as Tenji and his partner. The nine routes cross at a junction, number 1 with number 2, number 2 with 3, and so on as you can see from the transparencies. Now, to start with the actual explanation. Map 1, as shown in green, was given to Tara Ling and Chen Xi Ling. Map 2, shown in blue, was given to Lara Ling and Chen Xi Lang. Map 3, in red, was given to Kara Ling and Chen Xi Long. Map 4, black, was given to Tenji, his partner, Tomoyo and I. Map 5, purple, Syaoran and Sakura. First, at the beginning, Tomoyo and I were walking with Tenji and his friend, isn't that right?"
Tenji nodded.
"Then, we lost him and we thought they fell behind. Then according to the respective people, the people with route 1 met those with route 2 and followed route two. They continued like this until we met those with routes 1,2,3 & 4. We followed route 5 and found Sakura, Syaoran, Tenji and Tenji's partner at the junction. According to them, Sakura had fallen asleep and refused to wake up. So we waited with them until Yukito came and found us. So, Syaoran ended having to carry Sakura the rest of route 5, shorter than the rest of route 6, and Yukito carried his bags for him."
"Well," Laura said, "Very impressive. I must say I'm rather convinced. But I have to ask, can I trust you guys?"
They all nodded just as the lunch the clock chimed 12 noon. Half an hour left till lunch.
"Well, I can't keep you here all day right?"
They got back and Tomoyo quickly ushered Sakura in to dress up in a prepared outfit then ran out to pick the Ling triplets' outfits. The moment she was done with that, she returned to do Sakura's make-up and hair, but found Sakura doing the last touch-ups on her make up. She tied her hair into a large version of one of Meiling's pigtails. There were pink sparkles everywhere. In her hair, her make-up, and on most of her outfit. She wore a sleeveless pink T-shirt with 'Sakura' written in sparkly pink lettering. She wore white socks with sakura blossoms at the sides with pink and white sports shoes. She also wore a white tennis skirt with sparkly pink sakura blossoms dotting the hem. She had on a bit of pink eyeshadow and pink sparkly glossy lipstick.
"NOOOOOOOOOO~!!!" Tomoyo screamed, "I'm useless! My best friend is doing her own make-up and hair without meeeee!! WAAAAAH~!!!!!"
Sakura fell anime-style and started to comfort her friend, "Aw, don't cry. Aren't you the one who says one of the many of my abilities is to dress up flawlessly? Well, I just wanted to prove how right you are, as always. And anyway, there's still Lara, Kara and Tara to dress up."
Sakura fell again...but because Tomoyo pushed away trying to run out and catch Tara, Lara and Kara before their hair was done.
In the end, she DID catch them before their hair and make-up were done. First, there was a squeal of delight and three screams of horror. There were various moans occasionally along with screams and by the sounds in the background, you could tell that everything was a big mess.
Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long were outside the door listening. Xi Lang remarked, "Man, for once I actually feel sorry for them."
Suddenly, the door was flung open by Tomoyo, making them fall back, and she stepped aside gestured to the three girls slouching, stretched out on the couch, utterly exhausted.
Everything in the room was rearranged, and the couch was smack in the middle of the room.
*At lunch*
Once again, there was absolutely no trouble from anyone. Sakura wore what she had put on, though Tomoyo tried to get her to let her redo everything. Tomoyo, herself, wore a rich purple samfu (traditional Chinese outfit consisting of a shirt and a pair of pants) top and black slacks accompanied by dark grey ankle boots. She wore a deep plum shade of lipstick and purple eyeshadow.
Meiling wore her usual pigtails and a strapless scarlet top, which had a sweetheart neckline, and a black mini skirt. She wore scarlet lipstick.
Tara, Lara and Kara wore their hair in tight french braids tied at the end with silk ribbons in their respective colours, leaving a few strands in the front framing their face. They wore knee-length tube-like strapless dresses that had a slit on the left starting from mid-thigh in their colours. They wore black leather lace-up boots that went up mid-shin. They had flat- backed teardrop shaped rhinestones, Tara in green, Kara in red, Lara in blue, carved in their symbols glued just under their left collarbones.
Chiharu wore a simple yellow triple spaghetti strap sundress and simple yellow sandals with yellow eyeshadow and clear lipgloss.
Naoko a pastel blue sleeveless blouse and a knee-length dark blue fringed skirt, together with black sandals. She, as usual, wore no make-up.
Rika wore a light tan dress and soft leather boots of the same colour that ends two inches above the ankle. She wore a shade of lipstick the same shade as her lips and tan eyeshadow.
Nakuru a maroon tube top with a row of the outline of hibiscuses in white two inches from the hem and a matching skirt, too, with hibiscuses two inches from the hem. She wore shiny maroon lipstick and matching eyeshadow. Her sandals were also maroon. There were loops at the side and a satin ribbon passed through the two front loops and crossed her foot twice, both times going through loops, joined together at a loop behind her foot and crossed to the front of her ankle and crossed her leg once before she tied at the front.
The guys all wore the same old boring things, T-shirt and pants.
After lunch, Yukito announced that they were to pick a date for a prank day and a sleepover movie marathon where a girls' room was picked and all the girls sleep there watching movies into the early hours and likewise for the guys. After much discussion, Prank Day was decided to be on day 8, a Monday, and the Sleepover Movie Marathon was to be on day 12, Friday.
The rest of the day was spent rehearsing for the singing comp.
It was dinner when something REALLY happened. As usual, not many altered their outfits. Meiling changed from a skirt to micro shorts. Nakuru changed from a skirt to matching pants.
Tenji walked to Cabin 6's table and snapped his fingers, making those with magic, Touya and Tomoyo, including himself and his three friends disappear into the dark abyss. Sakura gripped the Star key, Syaoran, Xi Ling, Xi Lang, Xi Long, Tara, Lara & Kara gripped their swords tight, Eriol released his staff, Yukito & Nakuru changed into Yue and Rubymoon, Touya got into a fighting stance and Tomoyo... switched her V8 on. -_-' O_o!!
"What do YOU want Tenji? We already saved your asses. We could have said that we thought you were up to something or something. The least you could do is let us enjoy the rest of camp. And what about reality? What do you think they will think when we just disappear?" Eriol demanded.
"Ah don't worry. I stopped time and no one will know. And I merely want to start over, you know, as friends. Provided that Sakura marries me, of course."
"Never!" Syaoran spat at him, getting into a fighting stance.
"Well, then behold, the army of the Sugimoris." He spread his arms and an army of oversized bugs (think El-Hazard 2) appeared.
Everyone immediately knew their opponents. Syaoran and Meiling fought Tenji, Sakura, Rubymoon and Yue fought Tenji's three friends and the rest fought his bug army. Sakura also used the Strength (Am I right or is it called something else?) to give Touya super strength.
Sakura fought with the Sword and fenced with Tenji's blondie friend, who seemed to be the strongest opponent of the three friends. Sakura had the advantage, thanks to the practice she had with Syaoran. She suddenly changed the sword to the staff and kicked the vital point. THERE. He collapsed as she released Windy to trap him. One of Tenji's other friends was going to leap up and capture Sakura and she turned too late. Then, Yue striked (What's the past tense for strike??) and he fell. She released Watery to trap him and as Tenji's last accomplice ran towards them, Rubymoon kicked him from the back, she released Firey, who trapped him next to his two friends.
Sakura ran over to Syaoran and Meiling. Syaoran had an advantage over Tenji, but Meiling wasn't doing too good. Sakura didn't understand. The cousins had trained together and could read each other's moves easier than pie. Then something in her mind lit up, ^Of course! Syaoran has a sword, Meiling doesn't! They can't be synchronised if she continues without a sword.^
She released Sword and Create, and created a sword, "Meiling! Catch!" Then she used sword to enhance Meiling's swordfighting abilities.
Syaoran saw this and the Li cousins stood next to each other in identical stances. Tenji prepped himself as they attacked with identical moves from both sides. As the battle ensued, they turned until Tenji's back faced Sakura. Suddenly, Syaoran yelled, "Sakura! NOW!"
Tenji realised what was happening too late and Sakura released Earthy and trapped. He yelled out, "Fine! Capture me! But you'll NEVER defeat my army!"
Touya was squishing the bugs one by one and the triplets were fencing them off. The triplets winked at their siblings, unaware that the other set of triplets were thinking and doing the same things. They ran away from the bugs and signalled Touya to do the same. Once they were a considerable distance from the bugs, the triplets turned, still unaware of what the other triplets are doing. They held their swords in front of them such that the tips were at eye level and closed their eyes to concentrate. Their symbols glowed in their colours on their foreheads and on the surface of the tip of their swords. The symbols on their foreheads faded as those on the tips of their swords only grew brighter. They opened their eyes when their symbols couldn't possibly glow any brighter. They pointed their swords out to touch the tips of those of their siblings such that the symbol showed on the top. The Ling triplets yelled "Jin feng!" as the Chen triplets yelled, "Jin long!". Golden beams of light came from the tips of their swords and entwined together. These beams of light turned into a phoenix and a dragon. As these two mythical creatures swept past the bugs the bugs disappeared row by row. There was a bright flash as the phoenix and the dragon disappeared.
But that wasn't the end. Tara, Kara and Lara started to collapse, not having done that in a very long time. Xi Ling, Xi Long and Xi Lang went to catch them before they passed out from using too much energy. Their swords disappeared with a glow. (Just so you know, their weapons come from their heart. So when they need them, they just appear) Sakura too felt a bit weak at the knees but endured it.
After a few seconds, they were back in the dining room, with everything frozen. Xi Lang, Xi Ling and Xi Long had Lara, Tara and Kara in their arms (KAWAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!!!), Touya was bidding goodbye to Strength, upset that he couldn't keep his super strength, Eriol beside Tomoyo, who still had the camera rolling, Yue was back to Yukito, Rubymoon back to Nakuru, Meiling still holding Sword, and Syaoran helped supporting Sakura, who was obviously weak, but still tried to hide it.
Sakura returned all her cards and right after she used Time to start time again, she collapsed from lack of strength. Eriol commented, "Well, in that battle alone, if you count Time, she DID use EIGHT cards."
Eriol, Tomoyo, the three counsellors and Meiling stayed backed to distract the others from the fact that four girls were unconscious. Meanwhile, Syaoran, Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long carried the unconscious girls back.
Syaoran carried Sakura back to her bed, staring at her face for a while. Suddenly a thought came to his mind that made him blush. Then, he gathered up his courage and started to bend down. He kissed Sakura lightly on the lips and whispered, "Oyasumi."
(KAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!! ~^O^~ )
The conscious triplets carried their archenemies-yet-best-friends into their room (the UNCONSCIOUS triplets' room baka hentais) and lay them down on their respective beds. They stepped back a bit and looked at the girl they had just lain down. Then they turned their heads to look at each other and Xi Ling asked, "We aren't thinking what we're thinking are we?"
"I think this is what mom and dad meant by growing up." Xi Lang whispered.
They each snuck a peek at the sleeping girls as they exited one by one.
(KAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!! ~^O^~ )
The four guys were just about to return when the others came in. They were at once surrounded by worried inquiries about the girls' health. They backed up slightly and dashed off to their own rooms.
Cool huh? Don't you think the last bit was especially kawaii? I'm a self- confessed romantic, just so you know. Ja ne!
Disclaimer: Bah Humbug! This is extremely idiotic. But ah well, what must be done, must be done. I dun own CC or CCS. DON'T SUE!
Camp times two
*Chapter 12: Camp two, Day three*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
"Oh right. Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."
Syaoran smiled, "Ditto."
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
"SORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRY!" Sakura yelled as she ran as fast as she could in her half-asleep state, in her furry pink bunny slippers and with her messy hair all over the place.
"Once again, it's the kaijuu that's late." Touya said.
Uh-oh. BIG trouble. At this comment, Sakura woke up like she had just downed five litres of extra strong black coffee in record time. She kicked him SO hard that he collapsed in pain, grabbing his leg and screaming for an ambulance.
Laura Cooper, or Ms. Laura as they're supposed to call her, just happened to walk past, and heard Touya's yells for an ambulance. She ran in yelling, "Is everyone alright?"
The others sweatdropped (with their cute black faces too) and turned to face her, then they pointed to the Kinomoto siblings.
There they were, Touya on the floor screaming "KAIJUU!" or "HAAAAAAALP!" and Sakura screaming back, "I AM NOT A KAIJUU!" and kicking him.
"Aren't they Touya Kinomoto and Sakura Kinomoto?" Laura asked.
They nodded stiffly.
"Family feud huh?"
They nodded again.
She sweatdropped too and slowly backed away and out but accidentally let the door slam behind her. Touya and Sakura turned and said, synchronised, "That was Ms. Laura right?" The others nodded. "Shit."
They started to draw and once again, Eriol worked his magic. Sakura drew 'Sparkle', he drew 'Metallic, Chiharu drew 'Party Time', Fuji drew "Post- Prom', Tara drew 'Goth' & Xi Lang drew 'Punk'. It was then discovered that even the counsellors had a theme, 'Fairytale'.
The rest of the morning, they had free, and they prepped for the Block Party. Tomoyo automatically took charge of the costumes. She lined them up outside her room and let them in one by one to take their measurements and recorded down their themes.
It was then that most of the 'asking out' took place. Syaoran had already asked Sakura and during the hike, Eriol had already asked Tomoyo. Meiling had approached Fuji and asked him, "Would you...um...like to go to the party with me?"
He opened his mouth to reply and then she took it wrongly and started babbling, "OfcourseIdon'tmindifyoudon'twanttoIcanjustgogetanotherdate..." He laughed and put his finger on her lips, making her blush. "Sure." He smiled. "But I thought the guys had to ask."
"Well, a tomboy's close enough." They started laughing.
She skipped with joy for a second or two thinking ^Yay! He said YES! YAY~!^
Chiharu, on the other hand, marched up to Takashi while he was talking to the Chen bros and waved her finger pointedly at his face. Of course, being her boyfriend for so long, he understood what she meant and said, "Alright, alright, I'll take you."
She marched away triumphantly as the three guys around him started laughing their asses off.
Naoko and Satoshi were looking for each other and when they found each other, they started talking at the same time, "Hey, do you...You first...No you...FINE!...Do you want to go to the party with me?...Sure!" Then they started laughing, or rather giggling in Naoko's case.
Ryu just marched up to Rika, looking confident and all, tapped her on the shoulder, but the moment she turned around, he turned into a blabbering idiot, "W...W...Wo...Would...y...you...like...togotothepartywithme?"
She laughed her musical laugh and said, "Sure, of course I'll go with you."
Meanwhile, Lara was 'talking' to Xi Lang, ^Well, I don't suppose you guys have dates already.^
^Well, neither do you.^
^You guys can give up hope. Sakura and Tomoyo are taken, Meiling just asked Fuji, Naoko and Satoshi are going, Ryu asked Rika.^
^And Takashi's DEFINITELY taking Chiharu. Hahaha.^
^What's so damn funny? Wait, I don't wanna know.^
^Haven't you realised that if all the girls are taken, all the guys would be too?^
^Oh shit! The girls won't like this...^
She broke the connection and the girls huddled together at the same time as the guys. After a while two "F***"s rang through the corridor. Kara and Xi Long turned to glare at each other before turning back.
Lara 'said' ^Well, the girls want to go.^
^You're not suggesting...GROSS!^
^Well, we can go as...ugh...dates...ew...and then split up to enjoy ourselves.^
^I can't even THINK about it! YOU asking US out?! GROSS^
Knowing their weakness, Lara smirked.
^What is that smile for? Waitaminute. I know that smile. Oh no! Nonononono. We're learning from our mistake. Don't you even TRY that.^
^Kara predicts a WONDERFUL buffet. Sushi, sashimi, temaki, gyoza, away from the Japanese cuisine, scallop, crab claws, petit fours, blueberry tartlets, hm-hmm. CHOCOLATE BARS.^ She knew she struck a nerve by the way he cringed.
^You're evil, man, evil.^
^What can I say? Money is the root of all evil, and according to that e- mail you sent us, girls EQUALS evil.^
He turned to talk to the guys and there was sobbing and "SHIT"s all over the place. He turned back to her with a submissive look on his face ^All right, you win, we'll go. And you LIED about the chocolate bars. They were actually...^
^Little chocolate animals, chocolate cake, chocolate fondue, chocolate milkshakes...^
^SHUT UP!^
Tomoyo had done the designs in record time. Once again, Sakura helped by releasing the Create and Mirror Cards. The outfits lay on the carpet as Tomoyo inspected them. Suddenly, she turned to Create, raised her hand and said, "High five, gal pal! We make the greatest team yet!"
*Later*
Roughly an hour before lunch, a counsellor from Cabin 2, Ken Migame, knocked on the door, which Yukito answered, "Hey Ken. What can we do for you."
"You can start by going to see the chicken coop (they give nicknames to their Laura Cooper and Layla Campbell, mushroom soup) STAT. And those ten kids too. Those two guys from Cabin 5 are on their way already."
"About last night?"
"DUH."
"SAKURA! SYAORAN!..."
*At Laura's office*
"Now, I understand if ONE pair or group goes missing, but why were ALL of you together?" Laura asked.
"Do have an overhead projector Ms Laura?" Eriol asked.
"Why would you an OHP?"
"I thought you ask for an explanation and I got these transparencies prepared."
"Uh...sure."
Eriol set the OHP up and started his presentation. There were 9 different maps prepared, meaning that 1 pair from each cabin would be on the same route and, "Tomoyo and I were on the same route as Tenji and his partner. The nine routes cross at a junction, number 1 with number 2, number 2 with 3, and so on as you can see from the transparencies. Now, to start with the actual explanation. Map 1, as shown in green, was given to Tara Ling and Chen Xi Ling. Map 2, shown in blue, was given to Lara Ling and Chen Xi Lang. Map 3, in red, was given to Kara Ling and Chen Xi Long. Map 4, black, was given to Tenji, his partner, Tomoyo and I. Map 5, purple, Syaoran and Sakura. First, at the beginning, Tomoyo and I were walking with Tenji and his friend, isn't that right?"
Tenji nodded.
"Then, we lost him and we thought they fell behind. Then according to the respective people, the people with route 1 met those with route 2 and followed route two. They continued like this until we met those with routes 1,2,3 & 4. We followed route 5 and found Sakura, Syaoran, Tenji and Tenji's partner at the junction. According to them, Sakura had fallen asleep and refused to wake up. So we waited with them until Yukito came and found us. So, Syaoran ended having to carry Sakura the rest of route 5, shorter than the rest of route 6, and Yukito carried his bags for him."
"Well," Laura said, "Very impressive. I must say I'm rather convinced. But I have to ask, can I trust you guys?"
They all nodded just as the lunch the clock chimed 12 noon. Half an hour left till lunch.
"Well, I can't keep you here all day right?"
They got back and Tomoyo quickly ushered Sakura in to dress up in a prepared outfit then ran out to pick the Ling triplets' outfits. The moment she was done with that, she returned to do Sakura's make-up and hair, but found Sakura doing the last touch-ups on her make up. She tied her hair into a large version of one of Meiling's pigtails. There were pink sparkles everywhere. In her hair, her make-up, and on most of her outfit. She wore a sleeveless pink T-shirt with 'Sakura' written in sparkly pink lettering. She wore white socks with sakura blossoms at the sides with pink and white sports shoes. She also wore a white tennis skirt with sparkly pink sakura blossoms dotting the hem. She had on a bit of pink eyeshadow and pink sparkly glossy lipstick.
"NOOOOOOOOOO~!!!" Tomoyo screamed, "I'm useless! My best friend is doing her own make-up and hair without meeeee!! WAAAAAH~!!!!!"
Sakura fell anime-style and started to comfort her friend, "Aw, don't cry. Aren't you the one who says one of the many of my abilities is to dress up flawlessly? Well, I just wanted to prove how right you are, as always. And anyway, there's still Lara, Kara and Tara to dress up."
Sakura fell again...but because Tomoyo pushed away trying to run out and catch Tara, Lara and Kara before their hair was done.
In the end, she DID catch them before their hair and make-up were done. First, there was a squeal of delight and three screams of horror. There were various moans occasionally along with screams and by the sounds in the background, you could tell that everything was a big mess.
Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long were outside the door listening. Xi Lang remarked, "Man, for once I actually feel sorry for them."
Suddenly, the door was flung open by Tomoyo, making them fall back, and she stepped aside gestured to the three girls slouching, stretched out on the couch, utterly exhausted.
Everything in the room was rearranged, and the couch was smack in the middle of the room.
*At lunch*
Once again, there was absolutely no trouble from anyone. Sakura wore what she had put on, though Tomoyo tried to get her to let her redo everything. Tomoyo, herself, wore a rich purple samfu (traditional Chinese outfit consisting of a shirt and a pair of pants) top and black slacks accompanied by dark grey ankle boots. She wore a deep plum shade of lipstick and purple eyeshadow.
Meiling wore her usual pigtails and a strapless scarlet top, which had a sweetheart neckline, and a black mini skirt. She wore scarlet lipstick.
Tara, Lara and Kara wore their hair in tight french braids tied at the end with silk ribbons in their respective colours, leaving a few strands in the front framing their face. They wore knee-length tube-like strapless dresses that had a slit on the left starting from mid-thigh in their colours. They wore black leather lace-up boots that went up mid-shin. They had flat- backed teardrop shaped rhinestones, Tara in green, Kara in red, Lara in blue, carved in their symbols glued just under their left collarbones.
Chiharu wore a simple yellow triple spaghetti strap sundress and simple yellow sandals with yellow eyeshadow and clear lipgloss.
Naoko a pastel blue sleeveless blouse and a knee-length dark blue fringed skirt, together with black sandals. She, as usual, wore no make-up.
Rika wore a light tan dress and soft leather boots of the same colour that ends two inches above the ankle. She wore a shade of lipstick the same shade as her lips and tan eyeshadow.
Nakuru a maroon tube top with a row of the outline of hibiscuses in white two inches from the hem and a matching skirt, too, with hibiscuses two inches from the hem. She wore shiny maroon lipstick and matching eyeshadow. Her sandals were also maroon. There were loops at the side and a satin ribbon passed through the two front loops and crossed her foot twice, both times going through loops, joined together at a loop behind her foot and crossed to the front of her ankle and crossed her leg once before she tied at the front.
The guys all wore the same old boring things, T-shirt and pants.
After lunch, Yukito announced that they were to pick a date for a prank day and a sleepover movie marathon where a girls' room was picked and all the girls sleep there watching movies into the early hours and likewise for the guys. After much discussion, Prank Day was decided to be on day 8, a Monday, and the Sleepover Movie Marathon was to be on day 12, Friday.
The rest of the day was spent rehearsing for the singing comp.
It was dinner when something REALLY happened. As usual, not many altered their outfits. Meiling changed from a skirt to micro shorts. Nakuru changed from a skirt to matching pants.
Tenji walked to Cabin 6's table and snapped his fingers, making those with magic, Touya and Tomoyo, including himself and his three friends disappear into the dark abyss. Sakura gripped the Star key, Syaoran, Xi Ling, Xi Lang, Xi Long, Tara, Lara & Kara gripped their swords tight, Eriol released his staff, Yukito & Nakuru changed into Yue and Rubymoon, Touya got into a fighting stance and Tomoyo... switched her V8 on. -_-' O_o!!
"What do YOU want Tenji? We already saved your asses. We could have said that we thought you were up to something or something. The least you could do is let us enjoy the rest of camp. And what about reality? What do you think they will think when we just disappear?" Eriol demanded.
"Ah don't worry. I stopped time and no one will know. And I merely want to start over, you know, as friends. Provided that Sakura marries me, of course."
"Never!" Syaoran spat at him, getting into a fighting stance.
"Well, then behold, the army of the Sugimoris." He spread his arms and an army of oversized bugs (think El-Hazard 2) appeared.
Everyone immediately knew their opponents. Syaoran and Meiling fought Tenji, Sakura, Rubymoon and Yue fought Tenji's three friends and the rest fought his bug army. Sakura also used the Strength (Am I right or is it called something else?) to give Touya super strength.
Sakura fought with the Sword and fenced with Tenji's blondie friend, who seemed to be the strongest opponent of the three friends. Sakura had the advantage, thanks to the practice she had with Syaoran. She suddenly changed the sword to the staff and kicked the vital point. THERE. He collapsed as she released Windy to trap him. One of Tenji's other friends was going to leap up and capture Sakura and she turned too late. Then, Yue striked (What's the past tense for strike??) and he fell. She released Watery to trap him and as Tenji's last accomplice ran towards them, Rubymoon kicked him from the back, she released Firey, who trapped him next to his two friends.
Sakura ran over to Syaoran and Meiling. Syaoran had an advantage over Tenji, but Meiling wasn't doing too good. Sakura didn't understand. The cousins had trained together and could read each other's moves easier than pie. Then something in her mind lit up, ^Of course! Syaoran has a sword, Meiling doesn't! They can't be synchronised if she continues without a sword.^
She released Sword and Create, and created a sword, "Meiling! Catch!" Then she used sword to enhance Meiling's swordfighting abilities.
Syaoran saw this and the Li cousins stood next to each other in identical stances. Tenji prepped himself as they attacked with identical moves from both sides. As the battle ensued, they turned until Tenji's back faced Sakura. Suddenly, Syaoran yelled, "Sakura! NOW!"
Tenji realised what was happening too late and Sakura released Earthy and trapped. He yelled out, "Fine! Capture me! But you'll NEVER defeat my army!"
Touya was squishing the bugs one by one and the triplets were fencing them off. The triplets winked at their siblings, unaware that the other set of triplets were thinking and doing the same things. They ran away from the bugs and signalled Touya to do the same. Once they were a considerable distance from the bugs, the triplets turned, still unaware of what the other triplets are doing. They held their swords in front of them such that the tips were at eye level and closed their eyes to concentrate. Their symbols glowed in their colours on their foreheads and on the surface of the tip of their swords. The symbols on their foreheads faded as those on the tips of their swords only grew brighter. They opened their eyes when their symbols couldn't possibly glow any brighter. They pointed their swords out to touch the tips of those of their siblings such that the symbol showed on the top. The Ling triplets yelled "Jin feng!" as the Chen triplets yelled, "Jin long!". Golden beams of light came from the tips of their swords and entwined together. These beams of light turned into a phoenix and a dragon. As these two mythical creatures swept past the bugs the bugs disappeared row by row. There was a bright flash as the phoenix and the dragon disappeared.
But that wasn't the end. Tara, Kara and Lara started to collapse, not having done that in a very long time. Xi Ling, Xi Long and Xi Lang went to catch them before they passed out from using too much energy. Their swords disappeared with a glow. (Just so you know, their weapons come from their heart. So when they need them, they just appear) Sakura too felt a bit weak at the knees but endured it.
After a few seconds, they were back in the dining room, with everything frozen. Xi Lang, Xi Ling and Xi Long had Lara, Tara and Kara in their arms (KAWAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!!!), Touya was bidding goodbye to Strength, upset that he couldn't keep his super strength, Eriol beside Tomoyo, who still had the camera rolling, Yue was back to Yukito, Rubymoon back to Nakuru, Meiling still holding Sword, and Syaoran helped supporting Sakura, who was obviously weak, but still tried to hide it.
Sakura returned all her cards and right after she used Time to start time again, she collapsed from lack of strength. Eriol commented, "Well, in that battle alone, if you count Time, she DID use EIGHT cards."
Eriol, Tomoyo, the three counsellors and Meiling stayed backed to distract the others from the fact that four girls were unconscious. Meanwhile, Syaoran, Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long carried the unconscious girls back.
Syaoran carried Sakura back to her bed, staring at her face for a while. Suddenly a thought came to his mind that made him blush. Then, he gathered up his courage and started to bend down. He kissed Sakura lightly on the lips and whispered, "Oyasumi."
(KAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!! ~^O^~ )
The conscious triplets carried their archenemies-yet-best-friends into their room (the UNCONSCIOUS triplets' room baka hentais) and lay them down on their respective beds. They stepped back a bit and looked at the girl they had just lain down. Then they turned their heads to look at each other and Xi Ling asked, "We aren't thinking what we're thinking are we?"
"I think this is what mom and dad meant by growing up." Xi Lang whispered.
They each snuck a peek at the sleeping girls as they exited one by one.
(KAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!! ~^O^~ )
The four guys were just about to return when the others came in. They were at once surrounded by worried inquiries about the girls' health. They backed up slightly and dashed off to their own rooms.
Cool huh? Don't you think the last bit was especially kawaii? I'm a self- confessed romantic, just so you know. Ja ne!
