"Are you sure," a woman said, "we can't just cancel it without the concern of Sakura and the others."
Once Sakura heard her name she went inside. "Ms. Mizuki, what's wrong?" Sakura asked the woman.
"Sakura… are you willing to cancel the play?" Ms. Mizuki asked Sakura in a depressed way.
"What do you mean?" Sakura answered, "What do you mean by cancelling the play… why?"
"Because I don't want to be part of this foolishness!" the boy interrupted.
"Syaoran get a hold of yourself!" Eriol interrupted as he tries to make Syaoran calm.
"But everyone worked hard on this play," Sakura said, "I don't want these efforts to be lost!"
"Fine then! If you're not willing to cancel it," Syaoran shouted, "I will just quit being that dumb prince!"
Someone interrupted and said, "No! No one will quit this play till I say so!"
"Syaoran, Naoko's right," Eriol said.
"Why do you want to quit being a prince!" Naoko continued.
"Because I…" Syaoran replied in a confused manner, "because I don't… I don't… I can't."
"Syaoran I picked you because I know that you can do it," Naoko said, "you and Sakura can work together as friends and as partners… I believe in you two."
"Hey! I'm not friends with that boy," Sakura interrupted.
"Oh yeah! If you're not friends then why did you kissed each other!" Naoko accidentally said.
They both blushed and Syaoran exclaimed, "It's because I like her!"
Everyone froze. They couldn't believe that Syaoran Li liked Sakura Kinomoto. "What?! He likes me?!" Sakura thought, "Maybe because I punched him so hard yesterday."
Syaoran was shocked about what he said and thought, "I can't believe what I said!"
Tomoyo and Eriol can't understand their expression and Eriol said, "Tomoyo, Syaoran likes Sakura."
"Yes," Tomoyo replied.
"No! It's not like you think it is," Syaoran tries to make them believe that he likes her (Blushing), "I just like her to be my friend… that's all… and it was an accident that I kissed her a while ago."
Nobody bought his story except for...
"I believe you," Sakura said, "If you want to be friends with me… then why didn't you say so… friends"
Sakura handed over her hand. "… friends," Syaoran said as he gave Sakura a hand shake.
Everyone (and I mean everyone) clapped their hands together and some are beginning to say, "Yahoo! No more war! No more big arguments and no more shouting!"

Tomoyo's and Eriol's conversation
"Wow! This shot is beautiful!" Tomoyo said while taping what's happening between Sakura and Syaoran.
"Yes, I'm so happy that they already buried the hatchet," Eriol said while smiling.
Without the knowledge of Eriol, Tomoyo was taping him instead of Sakura and Syaoran. "He sure looks more attractive when he's seen through a video cam," Tomoyo thought. But suddenly Tomoyo could only see black though her camera. "Hey! Who blocked," Tomoyo shouted as she remove the camera over her face, "the camera?"
She saw Eriol and he said, "Taking pictures without permission."
"Can't take a joke?" Tomoyo replied.
"If you're not my partner, I will think that you like me or something," Eriol carelessly said.
Tomoyo broke down in silence and thought, "Do I?"
"Hey! Sorry I didn't mean it," Eriol suddenly said.
"It's okay!" Tomoyo replied with a smile.

Back to normal
Somebody came and whispered something to Ms. Mizuki. "Class, may I have your attention," Ms. Mizuki shouted, "It seems that our stage was destroyed and needs months to be repaired so we need to re-schedule our presentation."
Everybody was upset.

On their way home
"Aw… they are going to re-schedule the play," Sakura said while pouting, "I already memorized my lines."
"Sakura it's…"
Before Tomoyo could finish, Syaoran quietly said, "It's okay… don't be too harsh on yourself," then he said while blushing (still quietly), "Do you already have… a… you know… an escort for Eriol's birthday?"
"No," Sakura replied, "But I was thinking to be escorted by Yukito… why?"
Syaoran felt that his heart was going to break but he got over those feelings and said, "Nothing… just curious."
"Eriol… do you think it's funny," Tomoyo said to Eriol, "things happened so fast like they were enemies yesterday then friends tomorrow."
"No it's not too fast," Eriol replied in a serious manner, "I really think Syaoran already liked her from the beginning… don't you think?"
"Maybe," Tomoyo said.
"Have you bought Eriol a gift?" Sakura asked Syaoran.
"No… I was planning to buy it today," Syaoran answered.
"Let's go together… today," Sakura said with a smile, "Tomoyo can't come because she has a gift already."
"Sure… Oh! Here's the shop," Syaoran suddenly said.
"Eriol, Tomoyo we are going this way… Bye!" Sakura said to Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Okay, bye now… be careful Sakura," Tomoyo said.
"Don't worry! Syaoran's coming with me," Sakura said while looking at Syaoran.

Shop
"Good afternoon," the saleslady said, "Oh… Sakura it's you."
"Hi Magi," Sakura said.
"You two are a cute couple," Magi said.
Syaoran blushed and Sakura said, "No… we're just friends."
"Oh! Sorry," Magi replied, "What do you want to buy?"
"No it's okay we'll just look around," Sakura said.
Sakura and Syaoran searched the store for a perfect gift for Eriol.
"Look!" Sakura exclaimed as she raised a broach with a fancy design and a figuring of an angel, "Which on will he likes best?"
"I think that one," Syaoran replied as he pointed the figuring of an angel.
"Okay! I'll buy this one," Sakura said, "Have you picked out one yet?"
"Yes… here," he said as he showed Sakura a card that says:
There is common ground that kindred spirits walked- shared thoughts that forever bind their souls
You and I friends for all time
"A card?" Sakura said in a questioning way.
"Yes," Syaoran explained, "because even f it's expensive or not, if he is your friend he/she will accept anything that you give him/her."
"I never thought about that," Sakura invited Syaoran, "Let's go pay for them."
"No, you go first… I'll going to look for something here," Syaoran said with a smile, "I'll catch up."
Sakura paid for the thing that she bought and Syaoran followed.
"Bye Magi!" Sakura said as she waved good-bye.
"See you soon!" Magi replied.

On their way home
"What did you bought?" Sakura asked.
"I bought the card," Syaoran playfully said.
"No… the one you said that you're going to look for at the store," Sakura said.
"Oh! These," Syaoran said while looking at 5 things.
"Yes, that," Sakura replied with an irritated look.
"I bought this one for my sisters," Syaoran said while looking at different accessories.
"I thought you hated them," Sakura said.
"Yes I did," Syaoran replied with a cold look, "But they wrote to me last Saturday and they asked me to by them some few stuff… the weird thing is they didn't ask me to mail these to them."
"Last question," Sakura said while looking at something, "What is that? The emerald box…"
The moment Syaoran heard that phrase he hid the box and said, "What box?"
A/n: Want to know what the box is for? Can't tell you either ^_^; does it sink or not? Send me your reviews so that I could know.
