I'd like to thank Fantasiimaker for helping me solve the problem of my story's formatting. *Bows* Domo arigato!

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS, I'm just borrowing *coff coff* the characters!

Well, there's not much else to say, except enjoy the fic! ^-^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura was so blissful as she went to her locker after school, she felt like floating on air. It didn't matter that this was all a fake; Syaoran had been winking at her and writing her notes all period. Now she knew how Tomoyo must have felt. Sakura frowned slightly, thinking of her best friend.

This was a serious matter, a lose-lose situation for her. If she didn't help Syaoran, he'd be sad, and she didn't want that. But if she did help Syaoran, he'd leave her for Tomoyo once Tomoyo asked him back. On the other hand, if she just told Syaoran how she felt, that would be like betraying Tomoyo. Sakura groaned and banged her head against her locker.

She was so engaged in her thoughts, she didn't even notice Syaoran sneaking up behind her, until his arms encircled her waist. She quickly turned around, and seeing that it was Syaoran, blushed hotly. "Hey."

Syaoran leaned down and whispered in her ear. "So, is plan "Make Tomoyo Jealous" going well?"

Still unable to keep her mind off of Syaoran's arms about her waist, Sakura took a while before reacting to the question. "Hoe (huh)? Oh. Yeah, it's going great." Sakura forced her thoughts away from Syaoran's warmth and onto the plan. "What say we discuss the progress over a nice, cold sundae?"

"Good idea." Syaoran let a smile wash over his face. "I'll pay you back for my sundae after, okay?"

"What do you mean? We're gonna share this sundae, like all couples do!" Syaoran flashed her a "you silly goose" smile. "After all, if you're gonna do something, do it right!"

Sakura was feeling giddy inside. She and Syaoran were going to share a sundae!!! All traces of sadness at their plan disappeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomoyo sighed, not knowing what to make of the current situation. Sakura and Syaoran were dating, but she still thought something was wrong about it. She had been pondering about this news since Sakura had told her about it.

Not noticing where she was heading, Tomoyo stopped right in front of a small eatery, and a familiar auburn-colored head caught her eye. Walking into the shop, and about to call Sakura's name, she suddenly froze and noticed the guy sitting across from her. With a sinking feeling in her heart, Tomoyo believed that Sakura must have been telling the truth.

She walked up to the counter and quietly asked for a small smoothie. After having paid for her order, Tomoyo slipped unnoticed into the stall behind Sakura's, silently listening in on their conversation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Sakura and Syaoran chatted and discussed their plan, unwary of the violet-haired girl sitting so close to them.

"So, same routine tomorrow?"

"Yup. And during lunch, when Tomoyo-chan is in hearing range, I'll ask you out, okay?" Syaoran had no idea how much this off-hand statement meant to Sakura. He was totally oblivious to how this little scheme affected and tormented Sakura's emotions, how much she cared for him, that she was even willing to forsake her own happiness to help him achieve his. "We'll go to that one restaurant that everyone in our school likes. Then, we'll have more of a chance to flaunt our "date" and make Tomoyo-chan notice."

"Okay." Although Sakura was saddened by his constant mention of Tomoyo, she was glad that he was taking her out. "Do you want me to call Tomoyo- chan and exaggerate our meeting here, and how we shared a sundae with one spoon?" Sakura barely managed to get the words out without stuttering in awkwardness.

"Yeah." Syaoran nodded, then smiled warmly at Sakura. "You know, I still have to thank you for helping me out with this."

Sakura blushed, although knowing that this warm smile was just a mask to deceive Tomoyo.

"Well, we'd better go. I'll see you tomorrow at school, Saku-chan." Syaoran stood up, and waited for her to move. Sakura rose, and accompanied Syaoran to his car. Only after they both got in and drove off did Tomoyo stop watching them, and left the little restaurant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dun Dun Dun...... AN: Heh heh heh! Tomoyo found out. What's gonna happen now? You'll have to wait until the next chappie! Mwuahahaha!!! Although this really isn't a cliffie, I still think it was suspenseful, ne?

Oh, I have an idea for a new ficcie, I'm thinking of not writing "The Face That Launched A Thousand Ships" anymore, because no one's reviewed that since chapter two, so I guess it's not that good.

WARNING-SPOILER FOR THE (POSSIBLE) NEW FICCIE AHEAD!

This new fic would be about an oracle (Eriol) who is always accurate in his predictions, a prostitute who only sells her arts, not her body, so she can find her sister, a servant who is very gentle and in the emperor's service, and an emperor who is used to being spoiled and getting what he wants.

So what do you think? Is it a good idea/ It would be another sort of love triangle thingy, only a different love triangle than this one. Tell me if you think it's a good idea!

Okay, that's all. Don't forget to review; ja!
