Chapter Five: The Double Date
"You know Sakura, I don't know if I should, I don't even know this guy and what if I don't like him and he doesn't me either? And I don't know what to wear and really dating isn't my thing, I leave that up to you and I just don't think this is a good idea and what am I going to…" said Tomoyo nervously.
"Hey, stop it," interrupted Sakura, "I'm sure I've packed some of the things you've made for me. The beautiful dresses and the wonderful combinations of clothes will look just as good on you as they do on me. Besides it really is time you wear some of your creations," said Sakura.
"But still, this whole thing. This is you and Syaoran's date. Not mine," said Tomoyo.
"Hey I know and you know this is no real date," said Sakura rummaging through her bag, "Hmm… Something light, summer like, something cute, found it."
"Found what?" asked Tomoyo.
"The perfect outfit for you," said Sakura handing Tomoyo the clothes.
"Sakura, what are you going to wear?" asked Tomoyo.
"You see, when you're done changing. I'll be done and we'll compare," said Sakura.
"Fine," said Tomoyo leaving to go back to her room.
Sakura rummaged through her clothes till she found what she was going to wear. She put it on and went over to her dresser where her make up was. She applied a bit of magenta coloured eye shadow with a darker shade of pink eyeliner. She applied a bit of blush and a light pink lipstick.
Then she took half her hair up and put it in a messy bun. It looked really good on her since her hair was just past her shoulders. She put on a pair of silver hoop earrings and pair of sunglasses with pink lenses.
"Ready, finally," said Sakura, "Tomoyo are you ready?"
"Yeah, but I don't know," said Tomoyo.
"Well if you're finished, I'm coming in," said Sakura.
Sakura opened the door that separated the rooms and saw Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo what are you talking about, you look great!" said Sakura.
Sakura looked at her best friend. She was wearing a purple bikini top and pair of short white jean shorts. She had purple eye shadow and purple eyeliner. She had her hair in two tight braids at the side of her head. She also had a pair of sunglasses on her head but with purple lenses.
"Well, I don't know but I do know you look great," said Tomoyo looking at Sakura. Sakura was wearing a white halter top with silver stars on it and a pink skirt.
"And so do you, admit it," said Sakura.
"Fine, I guess I look alright," said Tomoyo.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Come in," said Sakura.
"The Limo is…" Syaoran started to say.
"Ready?" finished Sakura.
"Yeah, you look great, both of you," said Syaoran.
"You don't look so bad yourself," said Sakura checking out Syaoran. He was wearing a Green t-shirt and a pair of black shorts.
"What about me?" asked Tomoyo giggling.
"You look great too. But I'll leave the telling of how great you look to my friend," said Syaoran.
"Alright then," said Tomoyo, "So who is this guy?"
"It's a surprise. You'll see soon enough. We'll go have a picnic in Maritime Park and then go and spend sometime on the Li yacht and then go see a movie as we had planned," said Syaoran.
"Fine, I won't ask because you'll just change the subject again," said Tomoyo.
"Let's go!" said Sakura.
"Here is you food," said Wei handing Syaoran the picnic basket.
"Thank you Wei," said Syaoran, "We'll be back before dinner."
"All right sir," said Wei.
"Thanks again," said Syaoran climbing into the limo.
"See you later," said Sakura and Tomoyo climbing into the limo as well.
"Maritime park please," said Syaoran to the driver.
"So how long will it take to get to Maritime Park?" asked Tomoyo.
"About five minutes, why?" asked Syaoran.
"Just wondering," said Tomoyo.
"You really want to meet this guy don't you?" asked Sakura.
"What do you think," said Tomoyo.
"Yeah I know you do," said Sakura, "and you know.."
"We're here," said Syaoran.
"Finally," said Tomoyo.
"Now where is he?" said Syaoran to himself as he climbed out of the limo.
"My what a beautiful park," said Sakura, "Syaoran, I have a question."
"Yes?" said Syaoran.
"Does you friend know that this relationship is a lie?" asked Sakura.
"No," said Syaoran.
"Alright so we'll be fooling him as well," said Sakura.
"Right, so let's go, just over this hill is where we're meeting him," said Syaoran.
So the three walked up the hill and down it where a boy with blue hair and glasses stood. He was wearing blue shorts and a white shirt.
"Hey Eriol," said Syaoran, "I'd like you to meet your date Daidouji Tomoyo."
"A pleasure too meet you," said Eriol bowing.
Tomoyo started to giggle, and said "A pleasure to meet you to, umm…"
"Oh, this is Hiiragizawa Eriol," said Syaoran.
"A pleasure to meet you Hiiragizawa-kun," said Tomoyo.
"You may call me Eriol if you like," said Eriol.
"Ok Eriol," said Tomoyo blushing, "and if you like you may call me Tomoyo."
"Ok, I will Tomoyo," said Eriol kissing her hand, "and by the way you look very beautiful."
Tomoyo's blush deepened and she said, "Th-Th-Thank you."
"Well should we sit down?" said Syaoran.
"Yes, I think so," said Sakura.
"And who is this?" asked Eriol.
"This is my girlfriend Kinomoto Sakura," said Syaoran.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Hiiragizawa-kun," said Sakura.
"And a pleasure to meet you as well kinomoto-chan," said Eriol.
So the four of them sat down on a quilt and Syaoran took out the contents of their lunch.
"This looks delicious," said Eriol.
"Yes, it does," said Tomoyo.
"I agree," said Sakura.
"I suggest we eat," said Syaoran.
So the four of them sat there talking away about anything and everything that came to mind. They sat there for about two hours till they decided to go to Syaoran's yacht.
"Should we just walk there since it's only about a block away?" asked Sakura.
"What do you guys want to do?" asked Syaoran.
"Walking is fine with me. What about you Tomoyo?" asked Eriol.
"Walking is good," said Tomoyo.
"Then we shall walk," said Syaoran grabbing the picnic basket and Sakura's hand.
"I love you," said Syaoran.
"I love you too," said Sakura.
"They're such a cute couple," said Tomoyo.
"I agree," said Eriol.
"Sakura looks pretty doesn't she?" said Tomoyo.
"Yes, but I think you look prettier," said Eriol.
"Really?" said Tomoyo starting to blush again.
"Yes," said Eriol.
"Thank you," said Tomoyo.
"Shall we go?" said Eriol holding out his hand.
"Umm…yes," said Tomoyo taking his hand.
The two trailed a bit behind Sakura and Syaoran for the whole block and in less than 5 minutes they were all standing in front of the marina where the yacht was docked.
"Should we go for a boat ride? We can go down Maritime River and to a secluded lake surrounded by a forest," said Syaoran.
"That's sounds great," said Tomoyo.
"I agree," said Eriol.
"Then let's go aboard," said Sakura walking up the walkway to the yacht.
So the four soon boarded the boat and they set sail.
"This is going to be great," said Sakura.
"Yeah," said Tomoyo.
"Syaoran, umm…Let's go up onto the sun deck?" said Sakura.
"Just me and you?" said Syaoran.
"Yeah," said Sakura.
"Why?" said Syaoran.
"I want to go see if can see any umm…whales," said Sakura.
"Whales?" said Syaoran.
"No, not whales, fish, things like that, come on let's go," said Sakura dragging Syaoran up the stairs.
When they got up stairs Syaoran was still kinda confused.
"Why are we up here?" asked Syaoran.
"To give them some time alone," said Sakura.
"Oh I get it now," said Syaoran, "But next time how about a little warning."
"Alright then," said Sakura, "I will next time."
"So how long do we stay up here?" asked Syaoran.
"I don't know, just sit down on the deck chairs and tan or something," said Sakura.
"Alright," said Syaoran sitting down in the lawn chair and putting his sunglasses on.
"They'll probably come up here if they get curious or run out of things to say," said Sakura putting her sunglasses on.
Down on the deck below Eriol and Tomoyo sat on two chairs in an awkward silence.
Tomoyo finally was sick of the awkward silence so she said, "So where are you from?"
"I'm from Japan," said Eriol.
"Oh cool, I was born there," said Tomoyo.
"Oh really?" said Eriol.
"Yeah except my mother moved to Canada when Sakura's dad moved decided to move there," said Tomoyo.
"That's cool, so do you speak Japanese?" asked Eriol.
"Yes, my mother wanted me to know the language of my birth country," said Tomoyo.
"That's excellent, so you speak two languages fluently," said Eriol.
"Three, well sorta," said Tomoyo.
"Three?" said Eriol.
"Yes, Japanese, English and Canadian French," said Tomoyo, "Though I'm still in the process of learning French."
"Aww, I see," said Eriol, "Tu habit Canada et tu parle francais et anglais (you live in Canada and you speak French and English {rough translation})
"And apparently you speak French too," said Tomoyo.
"Well, I've always been rather fond of other languages," said Eriol.
"Yeah me too, I someday hope to travel around the whole entire world and see everything," said Tomoyo.
"Have you ever been to England before?" asked Eriol.
"Been pretty close, but no, I was in France last summer but I never made it over to England," said Tomoyo.
"Oh sometimes you'll have to come there, that's where I usually go in the summer time. Maybe next summer you can come with me and we could hang out," said Eriol.
"I'd like that," said Tomoyo.
"You would?" said Eriol.
"Yeah, I would," said Tomoyo smiling.
=She's beautiful and so cute. She has the nicest personality and well, she'd never go for me= thought Eriol.
=Hmm…He's like my dream guy. We have things in common and he's polite and cute and well, I'm probably not his kind of girl= thought Tomoyo.
"You know you look very beautiful today, I don't know if I mentioned that yet today," said Eriol.
"Thank you," said Tomoyo, "You look very good today too."
"Thank you," said Eriol.
"Umm…Are you busy tomorrow?" asked Tomoyo.
"No, why?" asked Eriol.
"Do you want to go do something tomorrow? Just me and you," asked Tomoyo, "I totally understand if you d…"
"I'd love to," said Eriol interrupting her.
"Really?" said Tomoyo.
"Yeah," said Eriol, "I'll pick you up at 11:30am okay?"
"Alright, where are we going?" asked Tomoyo.
"It's a surprise," said Eriol.
"Oh no, more suspense," said Tomoyo.
"More suspense?" said Eriol.
"Yeah today Syaoran wouldn't tell me who my date was going to be," said Tomoyo.
"Oh right that, he wouldn't tell me either. The only thing he told me was that I would like you and I do," said Eriol.
"Yeah he told me the same thing," said Tomoyo blushing, "So you like me?"
"Yeah," said Eriol.
"Uh, well I like you too," said Tomoyo with her blush getting redder and redder, "Umm…Let's go see what Syaoran and Sakura are up to."
So the two went up the stairs up to the sun deck where they found Syaoran and Sakura basking in the sun.
"Well hello you two," said Tomoyo.
"Oh hey," said Sakura lifting up her sunglasses, "So what were you guys talking about down there?"
"Oh nothing much," said Tomoyo, "What have you two been up to up here?"
"Just sun tanning," said Sakura.
"My what a beautiful yacht," said Eriol.
"Why thank you," said Syaoran.
"No, I'm not talking about this one, not that's it's not beautiful but I'm talking about the one over there," said Eriol.
They all looked over the to right side of the boat and saw a yacht in similar size to the yacht they were aboard. It was white with a purple strip that resembled a ribbon across it.
"I wonder who's yacht that is," said Tomoyo thoughtfully.
Sakura sat down on the deck chair, crossed her legs, closed her eyes and focused. She concentrated on the yacht. She used her magic to search over the boat and try to find any familiar auras. She searched the bottom desks. Nothing familiar. She searched the main decks and the top decks and found two familiar auras.
"Oh for Pete's sake," said Sakura.
"Yeah, I know," said Syaoran putting his arms around Sakura.
"What do you know?" said Eriol and Tomoyo.
"Take a wild guess," said Sakura.
"Oh her," said Tomoyo.
"Yeah," said Sakura.
"Who's her?" asked Eriol.
"Whitney," said Syaoran.
"Your ex?" said Eriol.
"The one and only," said Syaoran.
"Seriously I think we should get a restraining order or something," said Sakura.
"Just ignore it, maybe she'll turn back and go away," said Tomoyo.
"She can't turn away this water gateway isn't big enough," said Syaoran.
"Go figure she'd be here to ruin our perfect day," said Sakura.
"Yeah I know, but I'm confused," said Syaoran.
"Yeah, why is Marshall on board," said Sakura.
"Do you guys have like some psychic connection you guys forgot to mention to me?" asked Tomoyo.
"No, it's just we know the aura of Marshall and Whitney and we sense both of them," said Sakura.
"She's probably spying on us again," said Syaoran.
"Let's go to the deck below where she can get a better view," said Sakura.
"Huh?" said Eriol.
"Let's stay up here Eriol. Let them do their thing," said Tomoyo.
"What's there thing," asked Eriol.
"Oh nothing, Whitney has just been giving him a hard time. You know the whole story about Whitney and the worthy girl, right?" asked Tomoyo.
"Yeah," said Eriol.
"Well, she hasn't left him alone since she found out he found the worthy one," said Tomoyo.
"You really think Sakura is the worthy one?" asked Eriol.
"I don't know. A relationship formed on a lie usually never works out, but maybe in this case a lie with form relationship," said Tomoyo.
"I see," said Eriol looking upon the two on the deck.
"What do we do now?" asked Sakura.
"I don't know. I don't have a plan. We've done the jealous thing and she probably doesn't know that we know she's there. She hasn't made an appearance yet," said Syaoran.
"Yeah and Eriol thinks we're boyfriend and girlfriend and he hasn't seen us kiss once and Whitney is watching, but what is she waiting for?" said Sakura.
"I don't know but I suggest we kiss," said Syaoran.
"Yeah," said Sakura turning to Syaoran and kissing him.
"Can't they keep their hands off each other for a minute!" said Whitney from her yacht.
"Calm down Whitney," said Marshall.
"But Marshall they think that I broke up with you, but you're on board. They don't know that but still. I have no plan and it just doesn't look like I'll ever get him back," said Whitney.
"I could have told you that when we were in South Africa. This has all been a waste of time," said Marshall.
"Not exactly. You will get Syaoran and you will get Sakura and you will bring them to me. I intend on making Syaoran one of you and Sakura, we'll see," said Whitney.
"Why are you so hell bent on revenge? You left him remember?" said Marshall.
"Yeah, but I want to be head of the Li Clan," said Whitney.
"Why? They're only the most powerful family in China. Who cares? It would be better to marry one of Prince Charles sons," said Marshall.
"True, but I don't like them, Syaoran is so much better looking," said Whitney.
"Whitney I think you need to see a shrink," said Marshall.
"And tell them what? That I have a werewolf as one of my employees?" said Whitney.
"Well you don't have to tell them everything," said Marshall.
"Isn't that the whole point? To get all of your issues out?" said Whitney.
"Yeah, but oh heck forget I even said it," said Marshall.
"That's better," said Whitney.
"Sheesh, I don't know how he dated you for so long," said Marshall.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Whitney sternly.
"I mean, you are the biggest pain I have met in my whole entire life," said Marshall.
"Take it back," said Whitney, "Or else."
"Or else what? You'll try and beat up the werewolf?" said Marshall.
"Man you are so aggravating," said Whitney.
"Why thank you," said Marshall.
"I wonder if they're still all over each other," said Whitney peering through the binoculars. Sure enough they were still there with their arms around each other.
"Sheesh, I'm so glad her friend has more sense than her," said Whitney not noticing Tomoyo up on the sun deck, "Wait, who's that?"
"Who's who?" asked Marshall.
"That girl and guy on the sun deck," said Whitney.
"Oh those two," said Marshall, "One is Tomoyo Sakura's friend that you're talking about and the other is Eriol, Syaoran's friend."
"Ok, maybe I was wrong about her," said Whitney.
"Why do you say that?" asked Marshall.
"Because he's holding her too," said Whitney.
"No way! Really?" said Marshall getting up, "Let me see those binoculars."
"Fine, here, why are you so curious anyways?" asked Whitney.
"Umm…Never mind," said Marshall.
"No wait, Marshall tell me, please," said Whitney.
"It's none of your business," said Marshall.
"Sheesh. You expect me to tell you things but then you don't tell me anything," said Whitney.
"True, oh well," said Marshall.
"Sheesh, just tell me will you," said Whitney.
"Tomoyo is, well, you might say that she or was, umm…" said Marshall.
"Get to the point," said Whitney.
"I'm stalling. I don't want to tell you," said Marshall.
"If you don't tell me I am going to turn you into dog meat, literally," said Whitney.
"Tomoyo is my ex-girlfriend," said Marshall quickly.
"What?!" said Whitney.
"You heard me," said Marshall.
"Yeah, but that's like totally crazy," said Whitney.
"Why?" asked Marshall.
"Wouldn't Sakura remember you?" asked Whitney.
"Probably not. She didn't see much of me," said Marshall.
"But Tomoyo is like always with Sakura," said Whitney.
"She wasn't yesterday," said Marshall.
"Good point," said Whitney.
"Anyways, yeah, when we get to the lake we'll just turn around and leave, right?" said Marshall.
"Are you worried that you might see her?" asked Whitney.
"No, but I just think enough is enough, we should leave them alone," said Marshall.
"Fine we'll turn around at the lake and go home," said Whitney.
"Good plan," said Marshall sitting down in a chair.
Back on the other boat Sakura and Syaoran were still standing on the bottom deck of the boat.
"I suggest when we get to the lake we wait to see what she does and then if she leaves we'll stay but if she doesn't leave then we'll leave.
"Good idea, I was thinking that we'd just leave but this way we can get away from her and perhaps not have our afternoon ruined," said Syaoran.
"Yeah, how much longer till we get there?" asked Sakura.
"A couple of minutes, beautiful out here isn't it?" asked Syaoran.
"Yeah, it's so peaceful and quiet," said Sakura.
"Yeah I used to come here when I wanted to be alone or be alone with someone," said Syaoran.
"I see, is that that why you brought me?" asked Sakura, "and uh, Tomoyo and Eriol?"
"To create an illusion. So Eriol would never know and neither would Whitney if she happened to show up," said Syaoran.
"Really?" said Sakura.
=Of course not= he thought, =I brought you here because I love you and I want this to be our special place=
Of course this wasn't what he said. Instead he said, "Yeah."
"I see, well I suppose it will work," said Sakura sighing looking over the edge of the boat.
"Sakura," said Syaoran.
"Yeah?" said Sakura turning around
"Do you have a boyfriend back home?" asked Syaoran.
"No, I had a guy I was crazy about, but he didn't like me the way I did," said Sakura.
"Oh I see," said Syaoran.
"Yeah, I thought he was going to tell me something before I left, but I was wrong. But it doesn't matter anymore. I don't care," said Sakura.
"I see, what made you change our feelings?" asked Syaoran.
"I don't know, Maybe it was a series of events that occurred," said Sakura.
"Oh," said Syaoran.
"Yeah besides, I'm giving up on love," said Sakura.
"Why? Love is a great thing," said Syaoran.
"Well you see, it isn't. You think you love someone and then you end up falling in love with another and then you find out that guy you love doesn't love you back and neither does the other guy and then you world is turned totally upside down you don't know if you coming or going and then you end up going crazy and then…" said Sakura.
Syaoran interrupting her in mid sentence took and embraced her in a kiss.
"Wow. What was that for??" asked Sakura.
"You were going off into hysterics and I had to stop you so I figured it might work," said Syaoran.
"Umm…Well it worked, congratulations," said Sakura.
"Sakura," said Syaoran.
"Yeah," said Sakura looking over the edge of the boat again deep in thought.
"Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?" asked Syaoran.
"Yeah," said Sakura, "That reminds me of a song."
"Oh really?" said Syaoran.
"Yeah," said Sakura.
"Sakura do you believe in fate?" asked Syaoran.
"Yeah, I do. I believe that fate brought us together," said Sakura.
"Really?" said Syaoran.
"Yeah, our fate was to teach that Whitney a lesson," said Sakura.
"Yeah I know," said Syaoran looking down at the ground.
"Is this the lake you were talking about?" asked Sakura looking up from the water.
"Yeah," said Syaoran looking up as well, "This is the place I was talking about.
"Syaoran, it's beautiful. It's like picturesque scene. Beautiful tall pine and fir trees and a clear lake. It's like a page out of an art book," said Sakura.
"That's why I brought you…guys here," said Syaoran.
"Yeah I thought so, oh look Whitney's yacht is turning around. I think she's going to leave us alone," said Sakura.
"Yeah won't that be nice," said Syaoran.
"I need a drink," said Sakura going down the galley. She went to the fridge and grabbed a coke and ran back up to the main deck.
"Hey why don't you guys come down here," yelled Sakura.
"No, we're fine up here," yelled Tomoyo.
"We're figuring things out for tomorrow," yelled Eriol.
"What's happening tomorrow?" asked Sakura.
"Oh we're just going on a date or something," Tomoyo yelled.
"Aww, I'm glad you two hit it off, I guess we'll talk later then," yelled Sakura.
"Yeah, Talk to you later," yelled Tomoyo walking over the other side of the deck where she could not be seen by Sakura or Syaoran.
"I have a confession to make to you Eriol," said Tomoyo.
"Ok, what is it?" asked Eriol.
"You have to keep it a secret and pretend like you don't know," said Tomoyo.
"Ok, I promise," said Eriol, "I'll pretend I don't know. What is it?"
"Well I know that you know about the whole thing that happened with Whitney when she left and you know that Syaoran promised he'd have a girl that was worthy if she ever came back. Well he saw her when he was alone and he said that he had a girl. The next day he saw her again and he was with Sakura. Anyways she knew something was going on when he pushed her into a store that sold purses. Anyways Whitney saw them and asked if Sakura was the worthy one and Syaoran froze and started to stammer and she just said yes. Anyways Whitney said some nasty stuff and told Sakura if she had a brain she'd dump him so she kissed him and Whitney got mad and left. So they went to the playdium, saw Whitney, made a display and Whitney left. They went to a movie. Saw Whitney made a display and then Marshall kissed her and she left, and then she came and said Marshall left her and she was crying and soaked and then they knew she was faking and Sakura made a scene and ran outside and then Sakura and Syaoran fought for pretend and ended up kissing and stuff and then they came inside and found my mother, me and Yelan there so they had to play along and so here we are," said Tomoyo.
"I see, that must have been some fight," said Eriol.
"It was, Sakura ran out the door in tears because she was 'jealous' and then Syaoran ran out after her and they worked the plan out in the rain and then Sakura ran out and said how upset she was and that it was over and they kissed and she fell to her knees and then they made up and Whitney left but by this time we were all there and had seen and heard the whole thing so yeah," said Tomoyo.
"You guys are all crazy," said Eriol.
"You haven't even heard the twist yet," said Tomoyo.
"What's the twist?" asked Eriol.
"Sakura actually likes him. Like a lot. She had a guy back home that she was obsessed with. She intended to marry him some day and now she's totally forgotten about him. All she thinks about is Syaoran," said Tomoyo.
"I see, I wonder if Syaoran likes Sakura too," said Eriol.
"Why don't you ask him? You've known him for a long time and I'm sure you can ask him anything," said Tomoyo.
"I will, I'll go down there right now," said Eriol.
"I'll be here waiting for you to come back or wait, I'll get Sakura to come up here," said Tomoyo.
"Good idea," said Eriol.
"Hey Sakura," yelled Tomoyo over the edge.
"Yeah?!" answered Sakura.
"Come up here, I need to talk to you," yelled Tomoyo.
"Alright then," said Sakura said Sakura running up the stairs as Eriol came down the stairs.
"Sakura," said Tomoyo.
"Yeah?" said Sakura.
"How are things with you and Syaoran? Is he showing any signs of truly liking you?" asked Tomoyo.
"Nope," said Sakura, "There were times that I thought he was going to say something and then he didn't. He's just like Ben."
"Maybe Syaoran is just shy about telling you his feelings," said Tomoyo.
"I don't know, but I can't stand it. I need to learn to be able to tell my feelings too. The thing is, I know we're acting and I know he's acting. But when we do stuff together it feels so naturally. Like when we kiss I feel like it's real. There is real love behind it and when we had our 'fight' the way he comforted me or pretended too, that felt really real too," said Sakura.
"Then maybe it is, you should talk to him about this. Maybe he really loves you too," said Tomoyo.
"I don't know. It's confusing. If he was just like regular guy that I wasn't pretending to date that would be one thing. But not only are we pretending to date his family and your mother thinks that he loves me like a lot! And vice versa. This isn't good, what happens when we leave? This is crazy, this is horrible. This is just too much," said Sakura plopping down in one of the law chairs.
"I can see your dilemma. And I know it won't be easy but you'll just have to pretend to break up with him or something, I don't know how you'll do it but you'll do it somehow or life will throw some sorta weird fate," said Tomoyo.
"Thanks, that makes me feel oh so much better," said Sakura, "Maybe I'll just say goodbye and promise to come back or something. That way I can tell every guy I have a boyfriend and then they'll just back off if I'm lucky."
"That's not such a bad idea, Maybe I'll use it myself," said Tomoyo.
"Who would be your…wait. You'd say Eriol wouldn't you?" said Sakura.
"Well I don't know, I guess I would," said Tomoyo turning away.
"You like him don't you? Love at first site isn't it?" asked Sakura.
"I-I-I guess, maybe," said Tomoyo.
"Sheesh, how are you going to explain that your mother when she finds out," asked Sakura.
"What, my mother?! Who said anything about her?" asked Tomoyo.
"You did, just now," said Sakura.
"Oh just forget about this we'll talk about this tomorrow," said Tomoyo.
"Before or after your date with Eriol?" asked Sakura.
"After," said Tomoyo.
"I wonder what the guys are talking about down there," said Sakura.
"Oh nothing much," said Tomoyo looking at the guys on the deck below.
"Syaoran, I need to ask you something," said Eriol.
"What is it? You know you can ask me anything," said Syaoran.
"Do you really and truly love Sakura?" asked Eriol.
"You know don't you?" asked Syaoran.
"Yeah," said Eriol.
"So you asking if I really do and not just pretending right?' asked Syaoran.
"Yes," said Eriol.
"Yeah, I like her a lot, maybe I could even say love. These few days with her have been the happiest of my life," said Syaoran.
"Really?" said Eriol.
"Yeah, but I don't have enough guts to tell her. Besides this is all an act. She doesn't love me back. I just don't know what I'm going to do when she leaves," said Syaoran.
"Did you ever consider the possibility that maybe she likes you just as much as you like her?" asked Eriol.
"Well no. Just look at her! She's beautiful and gorgeous and wonderful and perfect. Why would she ever go for a guy like me?" asked Syaoran.
"Maybe she thinks the same as you, you know if you don't tell her the how you feel you may lose you only chance of a happy ending," said Eriol.
"I don't know what I'd do if she didn't love me back," said Syaoran.
"Maybe you should find out," said Eriol.
"I can't," said Syaoran.
"Can you talk to Tomoyo?" asked Eriol.
"About what?" asked Syaoran.
"Maybe she knows something and maybe she could tell you," said Eriol.
"Do you know something I don't know?" asked Syaoran.
"My lips are sealed," said Eriol.
"Sheesh, I hate it when people do this to me," said Syaoran.
"I wonder what Tomoyo's doing," said Eriol.
"Me too," said Syaoran.
"Sakura, tell him," said Tomoyo.
"I can't, he doesn't love me and I know it and that's that. This is an act forget about it," said Sakura.
"I think he really does love you. Have you ever heard of guys hiding their feelings before? This is what he's doing. I'm almost sure. I've seen the way you two look at each other, you really love each other," said Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo you are just saying that to get me to say something that I'm not going to say," said Sakura.
"But it's the truth!" said Tomoyo.
"Then why don't you tell Eriol that you love him and that you want to spend the rest of your life with him," said Sakura.
"But I don't," said Tomoyo.
"That's a lie, I think you love him and he probably loves you too," said Sakura, "Don't think I didn't notice the way you two look at each other."
"Alright, I'll admit him. I've never felt this way about a guy before especially when I've only known him for like a few hours. But still you and Syaoran, it's destiny," said Tomoyo.
"I'll make you a deal," said Sakura.
"What is it?" said Tomoyo looking at her suspiciously.
"You yell out that you love Eriol and I will tell Syaoran over a dinner date that I like him," said Sakura.
"You have to tell him that you love him. Do that and I'll yell it out," said Tomoyo.
"I don't know," said Sakura.
"Take it or leave it," said Tomoyo.
"Fine, I'll do it," said Sakura, "But what if…"
"No buts, you made a deal and I'll do my part of the deal," said Tomoyo.
"Fine," said Sakura.
"I LOVE ERIOL," yelled Tomoyo.
"Huh?" said Eriol looking up at the top deck, "WHAT DID YOU SAY TOMOYO?"
"I SAID, I LOVE YOU ERIOL," yelled Tomoyo.
"I LOVE YOU TOO TOMOYO," yelled Eriol.
"You do?!" said Syaoran.
"Yeah, I guess I can say that I do. When destiny calls you Syaoran, you go with it. That what you must do with Sakura," said Eriol.
"I know, I know," said Syaoran, "I'll tell her over a dinner date."
"When,?" asked Eriol.
"Tomorrow," said Syaoran.
"Don't you think you should tell her that?" asked Eriol.
"Yeah, I'm going," said Syaoran.
"Tell him. Go ask him out," said Tomoyo.
"Fine," said Sakura.
"Hey Syaoran," said Sakura walking down the stairs.
"Hey Sakura, I need to ask you something," said Syaoran.
"Yeah me too," said Sakura.
"You go first," said Syaoran.
"No, you go first," said Sakura.
"Fine. Will you go out on a dinner date with me tomorrow?" they both asked at the same time.
"Huh?" said Sakura.
"Is that a yes or a no?" asked Syaoran.
"Oh yeah, I'd love to," said Sakura.
"You would?" said Syaoran.
"Yeah," said Sakura.
"Great then, it's a date," said Syaoran.
"Woah, look at the time. I doubt that we're going to make that movie, and I think we should head back we don't want to be late for dinner," said Sakura.
"Yeah, we'll go back now," said Syaoran.
=He's so sweet and so cute and nice, but him loving me? No way, I guess it's time for humiliation= thought Sakura.
=Me and her? No way, she deserves someone better= thought Syaoran.
"Syaoran," said Sakura.
"Yeah," said Syaoran.
"Even when I go back will we still be friends?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah sure, of course," said Syaoran.
"That's good. I'm happy that we'll still be friends and if you don't mind, when I go back I'm still going to say you're my boyfriend. It'll get the boys off my back," said Sakura.
"Yeah, like I plan to do that too," said Syaoran.
"Cool," said Sakura.
"Yeah," said Syaoran.
"Is there somewhere I can lie down?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah, down the stairs and turn right. You can take any of those rooms," said Syaoran.
"Thanks," said Sakura.
"Your welcome," said Syaoran.
=Us? Together? Impossible= they both thought.
