Ann: This is the first story I've written by myself that isn't for school. Li just helped me a bit with, uh...., oh yeah, Li just helped me a bit with the dialog. Yeah! The dialog, dialog, dialog! So I hope you like it. NO FLAMES, please.

Li: Yeah, I helped her. Read my story, it's on this account too!

Ann: Hey! Don't advertise your story! Why don't you advertise the story that we wrote together?

Li: Oh yeah, huh? Okay then, please read OUR story, Gumdrop Heaven, which is also on this account. So far we have gotten a lot of reviews on it.

Ann: Yeah, so anyways-

Kero: On with the story! Quick, quick, quick!!!

Ann: Why don't you go grab yourself something from the kitchen? I think we have some cake in the fridge, some chocolate fudge cake.

Kero: Ooooooooooh, yummy!

So Kero flies downstairs (literally flies downstairs), and Ann and Li follow to make sure he doesn't eat the whole kitchen. ^o^

Disclaimer: I most definitely do not own Card Captor Sakura, so don't sue me! But, I wish I did own Card Capture Sakura, who doesn't? Okay, besides MOST boys, that is. Some of the characters are made up, like Coco, Sakura's cousin and Namao, a friend of Sakura's. Ohjiro is from the book Angelic Layer, which is also written and illustrated by the CLAMP team members. I wish I could draw better and faster! * Wail (not whining) *

Chapter 1: The Wish

"Wanna go out?" a boy with blue hair asked (it's not Eriol).

"No, Ohjiro!" Sakura said. "For the eleventh time, I HATE you!"

"Sure you do," Ohjiro replied with only doubt in his voice.

"Ugh!" Sakura stomped away. Tomoyo, who was looking at a puppy, saw Sakura leave, and ran after her.

"You may deny it, but you don't have to lie. I am the most popular guy in school, you know?" Ohjiro called after her.

Sakura shook in anger. "Why do men have to be such jerks?"

"Well, Sakura," Tomoyo said, "You are very pretty, and they can't help it."

"What do you mean 'they can't help it'? Am I like Aphrodite or something?" Sakura asked her friend- her best friend.

"No, what I mean," Tomoyo told her, "is that their hormones are taking over their mind, little by little."

"Excuse me, Ma'am, what would you like?" The lady at the Food Court counter asked.

"Oh, um, I would like a blueberry slurpee and a cherry slurpee, please," Tomoyo ordered, Tomoyo repeated herself, "Their hormones are taking over, that happens, you know?"

"Right," Sakura said sarcastically.

"No, really! That will happen to people as they get older, okay?" Tomoyo waved her straw at Sakura, then stuck it in her slurpee and started to- well- slurp up the slurpee.

"You can be so super-natural at times, Tomoyo," Sakura said, also starting to drink her cherry slurpee.

"I am not! It's totally true! Every little bit of it!" Tomoyo protested.

"Fine, Tomoyo, whatever you say," she said in response. "Hey, Tomoyo, do you want to go shopping for clothes next?"

"Oh, sure, and when we're done, we can go buy a birthday present for Namao," Tomoyo added.

"Good idea! I haven't bought her a present for her sixteenth birthday! What do you plan on buying her?"

"Hmmmmmmmm...I don't know yet. I was hoping that if I started shopping around, I might see something that she would like."

"I was thinking about buying her a teddy bear or some books."

"You could go to the Build-A-Bear Factory."

"Yeah, hey, thanks, Tomoyo! That's a super-duper terrific idea! Hey, I just remembered that they built a new art store somewhere in this mall. It's supposed to have a bunch of art supplies like beads, clay, paint, string, and stuff," Sakura suggested.

"Oh, yeah! Namao likes art!"

They quickly finished their slurpees, went shopping for clothes since it was going to be their first day of high school, and went to the Build-A- Bear Factory.

"I think I slurped my slurpee a bit too fast. I got a brain freeze after I finished," Tomoyo said.

"Yeah, same her." As Sakura was looking down at the floor, she bumped into someone and ended up on the hard floor of the mall.

"I'm so sorry! I should have watched where I was going. Are you okay?" a voice that sounded somewhat familiar said to her.

"Yeah, I'm okay, what about you?" Sakura lifted her head to look at who she had bumped into and as she did so, she gasped at who it was. "Eriol, what are you doing here?"

"Sakura?" Eriol gasped in great surprise when he saw her face.

"Yes, it is me! What are you doing here in Japan? I thought you lived in America!"

"I lived in America, now I live here in Japan."

"Um, Sakura? What is going on?" Tomoyo cut in with a lot curiosity.

"Oh, sorry. Tomoyo, this is Eriol. Eriol, this is Tomoyo, my best friend. Eriol is my cousin's boyfriend. How are you two doing, by the way, Eriol? Did she move here to Japan too?"

"Actually, we broke up about 2 months ago," Eriol said.

"Oh, that's too bad. I hope you find someone soon enough! Well, Tomoyo and I have to buy a birthday present for a friend. Bye!"

"Bye!"

So Sakura and Tomoyo went to the Build-A-Bear Factory (A/N: In case you were wondering, it's a real place where you get to make your very own teddy bear and put clothes on it and stuff. Cool, huh?). So they went to the Build-A-Bear Factory where Sakura got Namao a fuzzy, white bear that could sing "Happy Birthday" and say "People care about you." Tomoyo got Namao a jewelry making kit. On their way back to the car, they saw Eriol, and that reminded Tomoyo of something she had wanted to ask Sakura.

"Hey, Sakura, do you think that Eriol is a jerk?"

Sakura remembered what she had said about men in general.

~*~Sakura's Flashback~*~

"Why do men have to be such jerks?"

~*~End of Flashback~*~

"No, Eriol isn't a jerk. He's actually very polite, unlike most guys. Why? Do you like him or something?" Sakura said.

"Kinda," Tomoyo replied in response to Sakura's question.

"I think he likes you."

"You think?"

"Yeah, by the way he looked, it was the exact same look he used to give my cousin."

"How can be so sure?"

"Come on, we were friends."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he even has my phone number."

"You're thinking that he'll call, right?"

"Yup!" Sakura and Tomoyo got in the car. On their way home, they saw a couple kissing.

"Too bad we don't have boyfriends. We're missing out on a lot," Tomoyo said.

"Yeah, I really wish we had boyfriends," Sakura said in a sarcastic tone.

Ann: How do you like the story so far? My friend, Li, started writing a story one day before I started writing this one, and I wrote 4 poems then didn't know what to do. So, I just started writing this story. I'm only 13, so I may not be too good at this. I don't date. PLEASE REVIEW!!! Sayonara!

Kero: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Li: Um, is it just me, or did Kero fall asleep?

Ann: I think he did, fall asleep I mean.

Kero: (mumbling) Yum, chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, chocolate everything! Even chocolate pudding!

Ann: Well, that was interesting.

Li: Now we know what he dreams about.

Kero: Goodbye...

Li: I wonder what he's dreaming about now.

Kero: Goodbye choco foods, in my tummy you go.

Ann: The same thing.

Li: Okay, so bye this time, not to food, to you.

Ann: Have a lovely day, and please come read again!

P.S. from Ann: In the next chapter, or maybe in the later chapters (I just don't feel like saying chappies) I will write about embarrassing moments (although they may not be that embarrassing) of me, Li, and some of my friends. Of coarse though, I will not put their real names, I will put fake names.
