Author's Notes:

I am amazed so many people reviewed this fic. I thought this has been made before and that people wouldn't like it but I guess I was wrong. You like my fics...*weeps*

Many people tell me that this sounds like Marmalade Boy. Well, I have watched Marmalade Boy and found it to be the best shoujo anime I have ever watched (Miwa-san, daisuki!!). Still, I don't inspire myself in writing by watching other anime. I believe that some of the elements in this fic will contain things similar to Marmalade Boy, it can't be helped (since MB seems to have all the possible problems of their plot -.-), but that doesn't mean I copy ^.^ . I promise that this fic will be entirely different, after all, neither Tomoyo is not like Miki, nor is Eriol like Yuu. I'll try my best to keep them in character even though it's an AU fic.

Hmm, I can't prevent anyone from remembering Marmalade Boy as they read this fic, but please put your trust in me and follow the story. I don't think you'll find it same as MB or disappointing. ^.^ (I don't sound like myself...hmmm...). But, of course, if the majority thinks that writing this fic similar to MB is not right or inappropriate, I could pull this out and make another story, ne? ^.^ With that cleared, on to the reviews!

Dana Daidouji: LOL. It seems they had decided to fight, ne? Rivals in both home and school, I wonder how much more both of them can take. ^.^

AquaC: I'll try to update as fast as possible.

SVZ: ^^;;;; Tomoyo and Meiko...hmm...I compare Meiko to Rika (CCS) more. After all, Namura-sensei looks similar to Terada-sensei. (This is a secret between you and me: I can't take that Meiko married Na-chan. Why didn't she marry someone richer, younger, more stable *coughMiwacough*. But I guess I am just biased...hehehe...). ML? Please see the bottom of this page. ^^

Angel of Silence: Nahh...I don't mind you comparing my fic to MB. As I said, it has common factors. ^.^ I won't reveal anything now but I swear this to be completely different.

Not applicable: Hello! My site URL is "ted to cry again. "I'm such a stubborn brat. If only Mom told me of this…" She burst into tears once more.

Eriol placed his hand at the back of her head and pulled her to him, hugging her tightly. "I'm really sorry," Eriol said as he smiled. "We should tell our parents to behave the same way they had before, ne?"

Tomoyo nodded as she leaned onto Eriol. "But I don't know if you'll like my old mom. She's always away or asleep and she makes the lousiest salad."

"Well, I doubt it that you would like my old dad, too," Eriol replied as he smoothed Tomoyo's hair. "He sings aloud when he's happy and he loves putting his feet up on the coffee table." Laughs erupted from both of them and they ended up enumerating their parents' habits.

"Well," Eriol said as their laughs subsided. "You should eat now, okay?"

"Okay." Tomoyo sat back as the tray of food was placed on her lap. "Aren't you going to eat? Even if you've already eaten?"

"I'm really full." Eriol arranged the table napkin. "Besides, I was still thinking of repaying my sister because I made her hungry." Tomoyo laughed.

His sister thought for a while. "Hmm…maybe you should attend my concert."

"Concert?"

Tomoyo popped a carrot stick in her mouth. "Mm-hmm. You know, that piece I had been practicing for a long time? I was supposed to sing it this weekend in a choir contest. I'm to be an intermission number."

"Really? I never knew you get to sing in such big events," Eriol replied, chuckling. He sliced the steak into little pieces for Tomoyo. "You want me to attend it and bring banners or something?"

"No, silly!" Tomoyo waved her fork at him. "I just want you to come and evaluate me."

"That would be easy."

"And then you have to treat me to the nearby carnival."

Eriol gave her a mock frown. "Wait. When did that come to the picture."

"Well, if you don't want to," Tomoyo answered, looking away from her brother. "Then maybe you should study really well for the preliminary examinations 'cause I'm going to kick you out."

Her brother laughed and adjusted his glasses. "Okay, okay. I'll treat you."

"Then, that's a deal!" Tomoyo enjoyed the rest of her meal.

Somehow, she didn't make the deal of making Eriol pay come to work. She decided it was too trifle a thing to fight over. Maybe…just maybe, she could accept the way things are going. Just as long as Eriol would always behave like this time, all will be well.

Or would it be? ^.^

TBC.

Author's Notes:

I am sorry to disappoint some people who were waiting for Tomoyo's revenge. I really felt like, if your brother is so cute and intelligent and adorable as that, would you still hate him? I don't know. However, those fans waiting for this battle for the top spot in the exams don't need to be disappointed. Who knows, Tomoyo might freak out again. ^^;;;

With this, I bid you all merry part until we meet again. Please wait for the next chapter.

PLUGGING:

I know this might sound silly, me plugging and all since I do this rarely. However, my friend mihari had been doing this E/T fic for a long time entitled: Unmei. She's been kinda out of it lately and I wanted to inspire her. Please read the fic and tell her what you think so that she may regain confidence and inspiration in herself and finish that damn good fic! Thank you! I owe you a great deal!
