Uh oh...the formatting is STILL screwed up...snifflez...maybe I'm just not

Tomoyo sat on her featherbed, racking her mind, trying to think of a way to counterattack against Syaoran's deception. Suddenly, she had an idea! "Perfect," she murmured to herself, smiling in satisfaction. She quickly picked up her phone with her beautiful, sleek hand and perfectly manicured nails, and dialed someone's number.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura lay awake on her bed. It was already twelve, but she just couldn't sleep. Every time she fell asleep, she would wake up thinking of Syaoran kissing Tomoyo, or Syaoran sharing a sundae with Tomoyo, or Syaoran walking Tomoyo to class.
Tears started to form in her eyes. It wasn't supposed to be like this! The main reason Sakura volunteered to be Syaoran's "girlfriend" was so that she could spend time with him, and to be close to him. Sakura knew it was selfish of her to think that way, but she couldn't help it. Was there no happiness for her? Did she have to do everything for others?
Sakura burst into silent sobs. She just couldn't take this anymore; this pressure was unbearable. On one hand, she wanted to be close to Syaoran, and be with him forever. On the other hand, she wanted Syaoran to be happy. Pretending to be his girlfriend worked along with both wishes, but only until the façade ended. What would she do then?
Sakura cried, and cried, and eventually cried herself to sleep.
~~~~~~Dream~~~~~~
Sakura watched as she and Syaoran headed towards the small eatery they went to that afternoon. Surprised to see herself next to Syaoran, Sakura noticed that she was floating in the air. Then, she realized she was see-through, and satisfied herself with watching herself and Syaoran.
Syaoran went up to the counter and ordered a humongous fudge sundae with a cherry on top.
"Syao-kun? I'll pay you back for my sundae after, okay?"
"What do you mean? We're gonna share this sundae, like all couples do! After all, if you're gonna do something, do it right!"
Suddenly, Tomoyo came in. "Ohayo (Hello), Syaoran-kun," she purred seductively, making deer eyes at him. She was wearing a stunning dress that accentuated her feminine curves and emphasized her beautiful, sparkling, amethyst eyes covered with long lashes. "Wanna come sit by me?" Even Sakura thought her voice was extremely musical and light.
Syaoran, as if bewitched, moved to her side, leaving the dream Sakura staring desolately at the place where Syaoran had been standing next to her. The dream Sakura burst into tears as Tomoyo and Syaoran shared the sundae, Syaoran kissing away the fudge on Tomoyo's lips.
~~~~~~End Dream~~~~~~
"IIE!!!!!!!" Sakura burst up from her bed, sobbing erratically. "Syaoran- kun!" Her body wracked with sobs, her mind wracked with sorrow, Sakura threw off the covers, and not even bothering to change clothes, Sakura ran out of the house, a trail of tears following her.
She ran along subconsciously, not knowing where she headed, her feet taking her to some familiar place. All she could do was cry, and cry, and cry. I She ignored her thoughts and ran on, hoping to run to a place safe from the irony of life.
Suddenly stopping at the sakura tree in the park, Sakura collapsed. Weeping until her eyes were red and swollen, until her tears were dried, Sakura thought back to the time when she and Syaoran just met.
~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~
"Hey."
The unknown boy turned around. "Hey."
Sakura walked up to him, breathing in the fresh, flowery scent of the cherry blossoms, and sat down, patting the ground next to her. "Sit down."
The unknown boy obeyed silently.
"Who are you?"
"My name's Li Syaoran. I just moved here from Hong Kong."
"Really? Sugoi (cool)...I've never been anywhere cool before, I've lived in Tomoeda all my life. How did you find this place?"
Syaoran looked at her and smirked slightly. "This tree IS in a park, you know. It's not like this place is a secret."
"Well yeah," Sakura said defensively, "But no one ever wants to come here, because they could be playing at the amusement park, or shopping at the mall."
"Good point. People really need to appreciate nature more." Syaoran looked at her, a bit of shyness evident in his face. "I like flowers and plants. I think they're really neat, because they're so vibrant, so full of life...I like things like that."
Sakura smiled, happy to hear that. "Honto ni (Really)? That's great, you don't normally find guys who like plants. They think it's wimpy. But its not, not really. Life is never wimpy. Especially not such a beautiful life." Sakura nodded warmly at the cherry blossoms floating to the ground.
Syaoran whole-heartedly agreed. "Hey, what grade are you in?"
"I'm going into fifth grade next year."
"Really?" Syaoran seemed excited. "So am I! Are you in Tomoeda Elementary?"
"Yup. If you're going there, I can show you around, and that way you won't be totally alone, 'cause I'll be your friend."
"Gee, really? Thanks, Sakura-chan." Syaoran paused. "I CAN call you Sakura-chan, right?"
"Yeah sure! You're my friend now. Can I call you Syaoran-kun?"
"Of course."
The new friendship was sealed with two equally bright smiles. As the years wore on, Sakura-chan became Saku-chan and Syaoran-kun became Syao-kun. 'Friends' became 'best friends', and 'best friends' became 'forever friends', and little by little, they grew up together.
~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~
Thinking these thoughts, Sakura fell asleep under the sakura tree where her relationship with Syaoran had its roots.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow, that was a rather long chappie! Yay!
Poor Sakura, tho. :( so sad...I thought my story needed a bit more drama, so I guess this is my "drama chapter". I wonder what Tomoyo is planning to do? Hmmm...I hope it's not evil...I like Tomoyo-chan.
Okay, well give me feedback on if you want me to write "The Oracle"!
