CHAPTER 5

"Right Guy, Wrong Time"

The figures stepped out of the shadows. Bryce let out a sigh or relief, it was only Chiharu, Tomoyo and Sakura.

"We have something to tell you" Sakura said

Tomoyo took a deep breath. "We love you guys but...."

"We found some other guys who don't give us the brush-off..." Chiharu added

"And who care about us more" Sakura finished gently

"We're sorry," Tomoyo said, her voice cracking, "Let's go, girls". They turned and walked off into the night.

"Great, we've lost our girlfriends but we can't lose our reputation" Christian said determinedly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*A/N-fast forward 2 next day)

"Wow, this is only the 5th lesson you two have had with us and we're already working on Madonnas and kick flips" Syaoran said, shaking his head in amazement.

"Yeah, why do you two want to learn how to skate anyway?" Eriol asked "I've never seen preppy girls even slightly interested in anything to do with a deck on wheels"

"Uh, no reason! Just wanna learn!" Tomoyo said a little too quickly. They can't find out about the bet, or they'll think we're using them. Tomoyo looked at Sakura and they both wondered if the guys bought their pathetic excuse. As usual, Sakura partnered with Syaoran and Tomoyo with Eriol. They worked for three hours and then had a little mock contsest at the end to show what they had learned. It was a little tradition for the four friends and the lesson was never complete without it.

Eriol and Tomoyo walked off to the other end off the park.

"Ok, plum blossom, warm up with a 360 and a nollie" Eriol instructed.

A small smile played at Tomoyo's lips. She loved it when he called her that. And when he called her 'my Tomoyo' and 'gorgeous' oh, and don't forget 'skater blossom'.Tomoyo knew she was just babbling now, she had to get on with Eriol's instructions.Her Eriol....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~( A/N - Now over to S+S....)

"Great, Sakura, your doing really....um,good" Syaoran said.

Sakura smiled, despite in the middle of a move. But that caused her to daydream again and to fall. Syaoran went over to help her. Eriol and Tomoyo saw it to and they sprinted to see if she was ok.Unfortunately, Cassie Shard and one of her little friends showed up at that exact moment.

"Three weeks to go and you can't even stand up on a skateboard without falling, I told you pom-pom girls wern't cut out for skating" Cassie snickered

"Yeah, there goes the blue ribbon for you, like you were going to get it anyway" Her friend sneered. Tomoyo and Sakura looked at each other with terrified eyes. Then their faces started to turn pink. Luckily, Cassie and her air-headed friend left before they could say anymore.

"Uh, would you chicks mind telling us what that was all about?" Eriol turned to the blushing beauties.

"Well, please don't be mad, but it all started like this...."Sakura began, telling the guys the whole story.

"....And that's the real reason we wanted to learn to skate" Tomoyo finished. They waited to see the guys' reaction. To their surprise, they relaxed.

"It's cool" Eriol said

"Yeah, we can teach you blossoms some show tricks if you want" Syaoran offered.

"Sure" They said and went to opposite ends of the skate park.

Meanwhile, at Sakura's End...

"Okay, now when you leap into the air, grabthe left side of the board, do a 360 turn and land again with bent knees. Make sure you get enough height" Syaoran explained a new move.

"Sure thing" Sakura smiled. Syaoran went weak at the knees,I love that smile so much, he thought.

Sakura went and tried the new trick. A bit wobbly, but you knew what move it was. She skated back to Syaoran.

"How was that?" she asked sweetly.

"Great" he said with a small smile.

Next thing he knew, Sakura's lips were pressed against his in a long, indulging kiss.

Tomoyo's End of the park....

"I still can't get over how good you are in just five hours" Eriol said, "You'll be ready for that contest in no time"

"You know, you and Syaoran should enter too. We can all go to Los Angeles together!" Tomoyo said happily.

Pause.

"I don't know , My Tomoyo...." He said finally.

"Well, at least think about it" She told him "Anyway, since I'm your star student, how about a kiss?" She asked shyly.

"I don't know, student-teacher relations are against the rules" A smile curved slowly.

"Well, let's bend the rules" Tomoyo said pulling Eriols shirt so he was closer to her. His mouth was on hers and they were trapped in a perfect, passionate kiss.
