Author: Sakurahokunani
(Author's Note: Heheheh.here's chapter 2!!! Man, Sakura is getting pretty
evil, I always wanted to know how she'd be all evil.hahah it suits her!!!
Anyway, I just finished this and I'm neglecting my homework, HA! Please
read and review!!)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
"HAVE A DATE? I-I mean, it's not like I'm not happy for you.BUT HOW? WHO? WHEN?" Sakura stuttered.
" Umm, well it was the other day and you know Yumi, yeah well she asked me...and." Syaoran started.{Yumi, here, in my story looks like Arimi from Marmalade Boy but with reddish-brown hair.}
" Uh, yeah, and do you like her?" Sakura asked.
" Well, yeah, and that's why I said yes when she asked me. And, you know, she thought it would be a good idea if we double date." Syaoran replied.
Ahh, that bitch wants to double date so she can disgust me on how lovey dovey they'll be on the date. Ah, well, we'll see about that! " Sure, sure I-I've got guys lined up for days now, and I-I'm sure I'll get one by then. Hehe." Sakura said sheepishly.
" That's great! We are going to have major fun." Syaoran exclaimed happily.
Oh, we're going to have fun alright, loads of them. A smirk swept across on Sakura's face.
" You know, Sakura, I really appreciate this, and it's not just because that you agreed," Syaoran said slowly as Sakura started to listen closely. " It's because I never really thought I was going to be your friend from the beginning when we met. I always thought that you were so weak, a crybaby, a loser, and remember when-"
" Yeah, I get it!" Sakura said angrily, rolled her eyes, and waited for the reason to bring all those memories back.
" Anyway, you just taught me how to be a good friend, and we became friends, GOOD friends. And I hope you're going to get along with Yumi." Syaoran finished.
" Ah," Sakura laughed nervously, " yeah." He just had to go on, didn't he? +++++++++++++++++++++++++ " OMIGOD! WHERE AM I GOING TO GET A GUY?!" Sakura screamed in the courtyard of the school the next day at school.. Then suddenly, all the guys in the school came running towards her.
" Can I help you guys?" Sakura said confused with an eyebrow raised. She looked around and spotted Arima Otugani(no, not arima souichiro {sp?} from kare kano, but you can say that his image was exactly what I was looking for), the one guy that Syaoran despised besides.ok that was probably the only person.for now anyway, was sitting in the cool shade of a cherry blossom tree. He's the guy that beat Syaoran to point guard in basketball this season; hasn't been the same since.
" Hi, Arima!" Sakura yelled to him with a rigorous wave to him as she ran over. As she did, ever guy let out a huge groan and went back to doing what they were doing. Just the guy I was looking for.
Arima looked up and saw Sakura running over to him. " Oh, Sakura," he greeted as she stop next to him and sat. She paused to take a breather and was thinking about what she was going to say next.
" Whoo, okay. So, Arima, you heard about the Valentine's Carnival?" Sakura asked him.
" Uh, yeah," Arima started, " isn't that where the girl's ask the guys?"
" Uh-huh, and I was wondering if you would go with me." Sakura said.
" Oh, that's nice and everything, but I think I'm going to have to check with my date. But I don't have one yet, because no one's asked me." Arima replied.(OK, but without the being smart detail.)
" Uh, Arima, that's pretty much what I'm doing right now." Sakura answered feeling like she was talking to herself. He may not be a genius, but he's all I've got! The bonus is that he's cute as cute as Syaoran.well, not so much.
" Oh, that's why you're-to ask me-as a date. Oh, I got ya! Sure, I'll go with you." Arima replied as he was trying to put the-no so-hard-to-see- picture.
" Yeah! Ok! GREAT!" Sakura said excitedly.
" I'll pick you up at you house around 7, then?" Arima asked as she stood up and started walking.
" Yeah, sure! Bye!" Sakura said with a smile and a wave. Heheh, come tonight, I will make Yumi's life a living.
"Hello. Syaoran?!" Sakura said as she noticed that she just walked into him. Why does this always happen?
" Sakura, was that just who I thought it was, talking to you just a few seconds ago?" Syaoran asked quickly as he was pushing her aside to a corner.
" Who? Wha?" Sakura asked confused. " I didn't follow?"
" WHY WERE YOU JUST TALKING TO ARIMA OTUGANI?!" Syaoran asked angrily.
" You mean the guy who beat you out of that point guard position in basketball this season which caused you to never be the same since?" Sakura asked quickly too, as it was a rather long and tiring sentence.
" YES!" Syaoran answered and his eye twitched a bit at the remembrance of that.
" Well, uh, you see-" Sakura said as she was interrupted.
"Wha-what a sec." Syaoran said deep in thought. " You weren't just asking him out, were you?
" Uh-"
" TELL ME YOU WEREN'T?!" Syaoran asked.
" Um, I wasn't."
Syaoran let out a sigh of relief.
" But I was." Sakura admitted.
" WHAT? Why?" Syaoran said trying to calm down.
" Because, I like him like you like that doodey, I mean Yumi." Sakura said dully. " And what does it matter to you, anyway?"
" It's just that I know and care about you and I don't know-"
" That's right, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. And just because you are a total jealous freak about Arima doesn't mean you're going to ruin my chances with him." Sakura said straightly. " And what do you really know about me? You don't even care!" You can't even figure out my undying love for you.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Syaoran asked concerned.
Sakura shook her head and started to stalk away when Syaoran grabbed her by the wrist.
" Wait, Sakura, I want to know what you mean?" Syaoran asked forcefully.
Sakura just pulled her arm away and said it to him straight and serious. " Look, just forget about it. I'll see you tonight." Then, she walked away with tears building in her eyes and left Syaoran there staring after her. She ran straight towards the bathroom. As soon as she noticed that she was the only one there, she dashed into a stall and started bawling.
My plan will soon be worth all my suffering, and Syaoran will finally understand and know how I truly feel about him.
++++That night " He has a date?!"
" For the millionth time, yes. Tomoyo, he has a BEEPing slut for a date and most likely going to be his girlfriend, over my dead carcass."
" Sakura the more you tell me, the more foul names I hear you give her." Tomoyo stated.
" What? When? What did I say then?" Sakura asked quizzically.
" Hmmm, let's see.," Tomoyo pondered, " first there was "fucking whore", "ugly prick", "donkey-witch", "skinny-dick", and now a BEEPing-BLEEPing BLEEPER. It's the worst that it had to be sensored! Wait.why is it sensored all of a sudden?"
" HEY!! It is!!," Sakura said furiously, " The friggin writer sensored it. That-"
" WATCH YOUR MOUTH, GIRL!!! I CAN KILL YOU OFF THIS STORY IF I WANT TO!" Sakurahokunani yells in the microphone.
Sakura mumbles miserably.
"Anyway, Sakura," Tomoyo said changing the subject, "I still can't believe it, I always thought you had a chance with Syaoran. You were more close to him than any other girl."
" Except for that YUMI!!! UGH!!! Just thinking about them together makes me mad!" Sakura said angrily. " But I have a date for the Carnival, he's no Syaoran, no long-term intelligence, but he's cute!"
"How good for you." Tomoyo grumbled.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.
"I don't have a date." Tomoyo admitted.
" So? Aren't you going to be happy to film me anyway? Like you always do?" Sakura asked trying to see the bright side to her friend's situation.
"Well, yeah. YEAH!! I LOVE FILMING.," Tomoyo said happily. ".but I'm totally going to feel like the fifth wheel there."
" Wait, what about Eriol?!" Sakura asked.
Tomoyo scoffed, " what about him?"
" Go with him, you dummy!" Sakura pointed out.
" HELL NO!!! NO WAY IN THE WORLD AM I GOING WITH HIM!!" Tomoyo shouted rebelliously.
" Well, all couples going in get in free, but whatever, then. I got to get ready. See you there!" Sakura said and hung up.
Sakura was in her room running around like a hurricane, tossing clothes here and there. Even Kero couldn't believe all the energy she was using just to get ready for a completely menacing night of torture to someone she completely despises from asking out the one person she truly loves.
Kero just had a hard time keeping his eyes on her. " Hey, Sakura?"
" Yeah?" Sakura said dashing to the closest and throwing clothes out, and one just happened to fall on Kero. Being specific on what type of clothing isn't that important.
Kero just pulled it off frustratedly. " Are you really going to do bad to someone you barely know and have no idea why you're going to do them to her, because she has no idea about your feelings for that brat?"
"Uh, yeah," Sakura said quickly.
" But, Sakura-"
" Give it up, Kero," Sakura said as she was just finishing up with her signature pigtails, "nothing you said is going to stop me from doing what I have to do to get my man back." " Whatever you say, Sakura. Even though it doesn't seem like me to be letting you like that brat in the first place, just remember this-you don't have to go through this just to get Syaoran, all you have to do is be honest with him." Kero said.
Sakura was just looking deeply into the mirror for a while, looked down, and grabbed her bag. She turned to look at Kero, "I-I'll keep that in mind." She headed towards the door and walked out.
" He-HEY!!! BRING ME BACK SOME FOOD!! Kay? THANKS!" Kero added before she completely closed the door.
Sakura ran down the stairs and took a glance at the clock by the front door which read 2-minutes to 7. So, she looked in the mirror to double-check herself. She was wearing a stripped pink short-sleeved shirt, khaki capris, and white sneakers. Of course with matching khaki-colored, crossover bag, and pink-star barrettes( Oh, god, now I'm jealous of her outfit.damn her!!! Hey, no one steal this idea, I gon be wearing that some day!). I feel bad for doing this, but I have to do what I think is right. And what is right is for me to be with Syaoran alone.AND NO ONE ELSE!!!
Then, Sakura's eye's went wide open to the sounds of a vehicle revving nearer and nearer. " That must be Arima. I'm leaving!!!" Sakura said as she put on her shoes, went out, and closed the door behind her. The first thing she was a dark figure sitting on a midnight blue motorcycle.
"WOW!!! Arima your ride is SPANKIN'!!" Sakura said excitedly.
"Thanks, so do you. You look gorgeous." Arima said.
Sakura blushed and walked closer to him.
" Come on," Arima said handing over a spare helmet, "get on."
Sakura strapped it on, and they went off revving into the night street. =++++ They arrived at the Tsukimine Shrine where the Valentine's Festival was being held. Arima slowed down and turned to park at the bike rack near the entrance. Then, both got off, and Arima bent down to hook the chain on.
Sakura took off her helmet and said, " WOW!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!! THAT TOTALLY BEATS MY ROLLERBLADING ANY DAY!!"
"Glad you liked it. I knew you were different from other girls," Arima paused, " that's why I like you."
Sakura paused for a second there, too, and blushed.
" Well, maybe I can give you a ride sometime." He said putting both their helmets on the bike.
Sakura shook her blush away and replied, " Sure, that'd be great!"
Long tension begins, and Sakura breaks it by saying, " OH, well come on! The others must be waiting. Let's get our tickets, or we won't be able to get on the rides!" Then she tugged him by the arm, and they ran in line to get their tickets. ====+ " Oh, Tomoyo, you smell rather delicious this evening. Mind if I-" A voice said but being cut off by Tomoyo's hand totally covering the face.
"FORGET IT, ERIOL!!!," Tomoyo said and then saw Sakura, " OH! Sakura, we're over here!!"
Arima looked to the far left of the ticket booth to see Tomoyo. He tapped Sakura's shoulder and said, " Hey, they're other there."
Sakura also looked to see her friend with one hand pushing away the incredibly perverted Eriol and the other waving vigorously to get her over there. " OH!.COMING!!!" She started running with Arima right next to her. As she came closer, she started to notice Syaoran with his date. "Ugh, Yumi.," Sakura said coldly and started to grab Arima's hand. I almost forgot about her.
When they were already there, Arima greeted, " hey, guys!"
Tomoyo pushed away Eriol to the ground and greeted back, "likewise."
Eriol got to his feet and adjusted his glasses, " yeah, hi."
"Hey, Sakura." Syaoran greeted.
Sakura forced a smiled and said, " hi, Syaoran. Yumi." Then, she went closer to Arima and, he put his arm around her.
" HI, SAKURA!" Yumi said energetically, which really annoyed Sakura even more. " I JUST LOVE YOUR OUTFIT!"
" I bet you'd just like to STEAL it wouldn't you like you did with MY Syaoran now don't you?" Sakura murmured to her.
" What was that?" Yumi asked.
" Nothing." Sakura said quickly.
" oh.," Syaoran said just noticing Arima's presence.
" Sup, dude?!" Arima said to Syaoran and got closer to Sakura, causing Syaoran to give him the death glare.
Sakura saw this and pretended like she didn't see it by starting talking with Tomoyo. " So, Tomoyo, what changed your mind to go with Eriol after all?" Wonder why he's doing that.
" Ah, well." Tomoyo started.
Eriol put his arm around her and said, " she's starting to fall for me."
Tomoyo saw his hand and pushed it off. " Get a grip, Hiiragizawa. I was desperate. Plus, I couldn't go alone or I would have to actually pay admission, and how else would I get to film you-you are soo KAWAII!!"
Sakura blushed a deep scarlet red.
" You and Arima make such an adorable couple!!" Tomoyo squeals.
" I guess it's a triple date now." Sakura said miserably.
" They do look cute together don't they, Syaoran?" Yumi asked him happily.
" Yeah, cute." Syaoran said coldly with a dark glare not even looking at her, but Sakura and Arima.
This surprised Yumi, so looked up at him sadly and turned away.
" Ohkay! So, can we go eat?" Eriol asked. " CAN WE? CAN WE?"
" Oh, but I wanna go on some rides first!" Sakura suggested.
" Yeah!" Yumi cheered suddenly.
" Well, we can eat now and ride later?" Eriol asked trying to form a plan.
"No can do." Syaoran said shaking his head.
" Why? WHY? WHY? I WANNA EAT! EAT! EAT!!!" Eriol shrieked.
" Whoa," Tomoyo said irked, "calm down hyper boy. From the way you acting seems like you already got your sugar intake."
" Besides, who wants to see Eriol's projectile food in their face while riding?" Syaoran asked.
" EUWWWW." Everyone shrieked in unison except for Eriol.
" That's what I thought, so let's go on the rides first." Syaoran said.
"Which one?" Arima asked. "Tunnel of Love!! Tunnel of Love!!!" Yumi squealed, dragging Syaoran to the line.
"Yeah, sounds good." Eriol said winking at Tomoyo, who was already in line with her.
" Oh, please." Tomoyo replied, rolling her eyes getting on the small loveboat. "Keep your hands to yourself," she warned him as she turned around to film Sakura.
Arima got on the next one and extended his arm to Sakura, " let me help you there, Mademoiselle."
Sakura giggled and took his hand, " why thank you, Monsieur."
Syaoran was staring at them with his popular death glare.
"Come on, Syaoran," Yumi said to him already getting in. He followed her and the boats started moving one by one. The tunnel was filled with glow in the dark stars and hearts hanging on the sides. Roses, carnations, and cherry blossoms were growing on the sides. It was so beautiful, like going into beautiful land.(corny xP)
Tomoyo wasn't filming everything, because she was too busy being distracted by Eriol's perverted intentions.
" Will you QUIT DOING THAT?!?!" You could hear her yelling.
THUD
Arima tilted his head back and was knocked out by something.
" Good going, Sleep Card." Sakura said to it as it winked at her and went back into card form. She got out another card, crouched down and whispered, " Through Card, sneak by and poke a hole through the bottom of Syaoran's boat."
And with the tap of her wand, Through flew swiftly at the surface of the water and plunged down to the bottom of Syaoran and Yumi's boat. Before you could even blink, there popped a hole, and Through vanished to it's card. Soon enough, water started flowing in.
" It's pretty cool in here." Syaoran said looking around.
"It sure is." Yumi said snuggling up to Syaoran, and he put his arm around her. " Oh Syaoran."
"What?"
" You should have told me first before you starting pissing in the boat. I mean I was I being too forward?" Yumi told him, sitting up.
" WHAT?!" Syaoran said surprised.
" Man, I mean if you had to go that bad.you know." Yumi said.
" Huh?" Syaoran asked and looked down, " we sprung a leak!!!"
"Really?" Yumi said also looking down. "Well, that sure explains it."
"Come on, we got to-" Syaoran said as the boat started to tip over.
SPLASH! They fell in the water and good thing it was only 3 feet. Syaoran came up and spitted some water out. " Too late."
"Ahhh!!!" Yumi screamed.
" What's wrong? Are you okay?" Syaoran walked to her.
" I broke a nail," she said looking at her right hand sadly.
Sakura chuckled to herself. hehehehheheheh ==- At the end of the ride everyone got off, and Arima finally woke up.
"Whoa, what happened?" He asked getting up.
"Oh nothing, you just dozed off." Sakura said calmly.
" Oh, OH yeah." Arima said confused.
Eriol and Tomoyo met them.
" What happened to you?" Sakura asked Eriol, who had a bump on his head.
" Don't ask."
DRIP DRIP
" WHOA! What happen to you guys?" Tomoyo asked Syaoran and Yumi, who were all soaking wet.
" We had a defective boat." Syaoran answered rubbing his hair with a towel given by the ride operator.
" So, which ride next?" Sakura asked trying to hold in her laughter.
That was rich!!
"OH! MAD MANSION!" Arima suggested.
"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Sakura yelled and quickly clapped both of her hands over her mouth.
Arima looked at her, " What's wrong?" Then, he looked at everyone else.
" Oh, no.here we go again." Eriol sighed.
Tomoyo nugged him, " loser, shut up!"
" What?" Arima asked.
"Well, you see-" Tomoyo started.
"Does it have to do with the rollercoaster part?" Arima asked Sakura.
Sakura took her hands off her mouth, " It's not that, it's just the.the.," she looked around and said, ".g-g-ghosts and monsters."
Yumi looked at Syaoran as he said, " Sakura hates them."
"Oh," Arima chuckled. " Is that all? Well, I'll be sitting right next to you, so you don't have to worry."
"That was soooo." Tomoyo said with her camcorder on getting into line for the ride with the others.
" Beautiful.yes, yes." Eriol said pretending to wipe a tear from his eyes. " But I do recall that little Syaoran there is AFRAID of rollercoasters." Eriol turned to see an embarrassed Syaoran.
" Is that true, Syaoran?" Yumi asked him.
" Yes, it is." Syaoran said looking down at her.
" Aww," Yumi said pinching his cheek, " that is soo CUTE.OW!!"
" I'm sorry. Did I hurt you? I thought I saw a bug in your hair." Sakura said after totally slapping Yumi's head. As long as I'm hear, I don't want to see that. " That's okay. I know you didn't mean it. OH LOOK WE'RE NEXT!" Yumi said.
Actually I did. +----- "Alright. Is everyone buckled up? OFF YOU GO!" The ride operator hollered.
The cars, which looked like old antique-ish loveseats, went through as the large, mahogany doors creeked open and shut behind them. They went through the hallway with creepy music and maniac laughter. Sakura looked cowardly, through the spaces between her fingers, left and right to see old pictures, some with wondering eyes.
" Oh god," Sakura said trembling. This night was meant for torturing Yumi, not me!!! " What am I doing? I'm starting to forget my mission." Sakura said to herself remembering what she was meant to do.
" Did you say something, Sakura?" Arima asked her.
" Uh," Sakura said panicking to get out her wand. " Sleep card." She whispered, and Arima was slowing being put to sleep by the Sleep card.
"Dude, cool effects," Arima said sleepily.
" Ugh, I have no time for this," Sakura said digging in her bag for her Sakura book and clocked him on the head with it, and Arima became unconscious. Sorry, Arima. Sakura looked ahead, Arima and her being in the very back with Syaoran and Yumi right in front, and Tomoyo and Eriol two cars up. She saw how Syaoran and Yumi were easily distracted by the ride. " Now's my chance," Sakura whispered as was shuffling through her cards. " Aha, Firey." She waited until Syaoran was looking the other way and, " Firey, burn this part of the loveseat." A small spark came from the card, and soon the end starting to burst into flames. The flames seeped through that right side.
"Oh, everything looks soo real!!" Yumi said happily.
" Yeah, just hope there won't be any sudden drop." Syaoran said starting to get a bit queasy.
" Oh, Syaoran," Yumi said hugging him tightly and suddenly caught smell of something. "What's that smell?"
Syaoran took a whiff and said, "smells like the couch is burning."
"Oh." LONG PAUSE "THE COUCH IS BURNING?!" They both said in unison and saw smoke and flames coming from Yumi's side.
"Ow!" Yumi said standing on the seat.
" Calm down, Yumi," Syaoran said trying to fan the smoke away. Then, suddenly, the right side started crumbling down, Yumi slipped and she was hanging on to Syaoran.
" AHHHHH!!!" Yumi screamed in terror.
" OH NO!!!" Sakura screamed at the sight of it. I didn't mean for that much to happen.
" What's happening back there?" Eriol said turning around.
" OH MY!!" Tomoyo screamed.
With that, Syaoran started to slip and was now on with his stomach on his side, and his hands desperately trying to hold on.
" I GOTTA DO SOMETHING!" Sakura yelled. -----* to be continued!!! Please Review!!!
"HAVE A DATE? I-I mean, it's not like I'm not happy for you.BUT HOW? WHO? WHEN?" Sakura stuttered.
" Umm, well it was the other day and you know Yumi, yeah well she asked me...and." Syaoran started.{Yumi, here, in my story looks like Arimi from Marmalade Boy but with reddish-brown hair.}
" Uh, yeah, and do you like her?" Sakura asked.

" That's great! We are going to have major fun." Syaoran exclaimed happily.

" Well, all couples going in get in free, but whatever, then. I got to get ready. See you there!" Sakura said and hung up.
Sakura was in her room running around like a hurricane, tossing clothes here and there. Even Kero couldn't believe all the energy she was using just to get ready for a completely menacing night of torture to someone she completely despises from asking out the one person she truly loves.
Kero just had a hard time keeping his eyes on her. " Hey, Sakura?"
" Yeah?" Sakura said dashing to the closest and throwing clothes out, and one just happened to fall on Kero. Being specific on what type of clothing isn't that important.
Kero just pulled it off frustratedly. " Are you really going to do bad to someone you barely know and have no idea why you're going to do them to her, because she has no idea about your feelings for that brat?"
"Uh, yeah," Sakura said quickly.
" But, Sakura-"
" Give it up, Kero," Sakura said as she was just finishing up with her signature pigtails, "nothing you said is going to stop me from doing what I have to do to get my man back." " Whatever you say, Sakura. Even though it doesn't seem like me to be letting you like that brat in the first place, just remember this-you don't have to go through this just to get Syaoran, all you have to do is be honest with him." Kero said.
Sakura was just looking deeply into the mirror for a while, looked down, and grabbed her bag. She turned to look at Kero, "I-I'll keep that in mind." She headed towards the door and walked out.
" He-HEY!!! BRING ME BACK SOME FOOD!! Kay? THANKS!" Kero added before she completely closed the door.
Sakura ran down the stairs and took a glance at the clock by the front door which read 2-minutes to 7. So, she looked in the mirror to double-check herself. She was wearing a stripped pink short-sleeved shirt, khaki capris, and white sneakers. Of course with matching khaki-colored, crossover bag, and pink-star barrettes( Oh, god, now I'm jealous of her outfit.damn her!!! Hey, no one steal this idea, I gon be wearing that some day!). I feel bad for doing this, but I have to do what I think is right. And what is right is for me to be with Syaoran alone.AND NO ONE ELSE!!!
Then, Sakura's eye's went wide open to the sounds of a vehicle revving nearer and nearer. " That must be Arima. I'm leaving!!!" Sakura said as she put on her shoes, went out, and closed the door behind her. The first thing she was a dark figure sitting on a midnight blue motorcycle.
"WOW!!! Arima your ride is SPANKIN'!!" Sakura said excitedly.
"Thanks, so do you. You look gorgeous." Arima said.
Sakura blushed and walked closer to him.
" Come on," Arima said handing over a spare helmet, "get on."
Sakura strapped it on, and they went off revving into the night street. =++++ They arrived at the Tsukimine Shrine where the Valentine's Festival was being held. Arima slowed down and turned to park at the bike rack near the entrance. Then, both got off, and Arima bent down to hook the chain on.
Sakura took off her helmet and said, " WOW!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!! THAT TOTALLY BEATS MY ROLLERBLADING ANY DAY!!"
"Glad you liked it. I knew you were different from other girls," Arima paused, " that's why I like you."
Sakura paused for a second there, too, and blushed.
" Well, maybe I can give you a ride sometime." He said putting both their helmets on the bike.
Sakura shook her blush away and replied, " Sure, that'd be great!"
Long tension begins, and Sakura breaks it by saying, " OH, well come on! The others must be waiting. Let's get our tickets, or we won't be able to get on the rides!" Then she tugged him by the arm, and they ran in line to get their tickets. ====+ " Oh, Tomoyo, you smell rather delicious this evening. Mind if I-" A voice said but being cut off by Tomoyo's hand totally covering the face.
"FORGET IT, ERIOL!!!," Tomoyo said and then saw Sakura, " OH! Sakura, we're over here!!"
Arima looked to the far left of the ticket booth to see Tomoyo. He tapped Sakura's shoulder and said, " Hey, they're other there."
Sakura also looked to see her friend with one hand pushing away the incredibly perverted Eriol and the other waving vigorously to get her over there. " OH!.COMING!!!" She started running with Arima right next to her. As she came closer, she started to notice Syaoran with his date. "Ugh, Yumi.," Sakura said coldly and started to grab Arima's hand. I almost forgot about her.
When they were already there, Arima greeted, " hey, guys!"
Tomoyo pushed away Eriol to the ground and greeted back, "likewise."
Eriol got to his feet and adjusted his glasses, " yeah, hi."
"Hey, Sakura." Syaoran greeted.
Sakura forced a smiled and said, " hi, Syaoran. Yumi." Then, she went closer to Arima and, he put his arm around her.
" HI, SAKURA!" Yumi said energetically, which really annoyed Sakura even more. " I JUST LOVE YOUR OUTFIT!"
" I bet you'd just like to STEAL it wouldn't you like you did with MY Syaoran now don't you?" Sakura murmured to her.
" What was that?" Yumi asked.
" Nothing." Sakura said quickly.
" oh.," Syaoran said just noticing Arima's presence.
" Sup, dude?!" Arima said to Syaoran and got closer to Sakura, causing Syaoran to give him the death glare.
Sakura saw this and pretended like she didn't see it by starting talking with Tomoyo. " So, Tomoyo, what changed your mind to go with Eriol after all?" Wonder why he's doing that.
" Ah, well." Tomoyo started.
Eriol put his arm around her and said, " she's starting to fall for me."
Tomoyo saw his hand and pushed it off. " Get a grip, Hiiragizawa. I was desperate. Plus, I couldn't go alone or I would have to actually pay admission, and how else would I get to film you-you are soo KAWAII!!"
Sakura blushed a deep scarlet red.
" You and Arima make such an adorable couple!!" Tomoyo squeals.
" I guess it's a triple date now." Sakura said miserably.
" They do look cute together don't they, Syaoran?" Yumi asked him happily.
" Yeah, cute." Syaoran said coldly with a dark glare not even looking at her, but Sakura and Arima.
This surprised Yumi, so looked up at him sadly and turned away.
" Ohkay! So, can we go eat?" Eriol asked. " CAN WE? CAN WE?"
" Oh, but I wanna go on some rides first!" Sakura suggested.
" Yeah!" Yumi cheered suddenly.
" Well, we can eat now and ride later?" Eriol asked trying to form a plan.
"No can do." Syaoran said shaking his head.
" Why? WHY? WHY? I WANNA EAT! EAT! EAT!!!" Eriol shrieked.
" Whoa," Tomoyo said irked, "calm down hyper boy. From the way you acting seems like you already got your sugar intake."
" Besides, who wants to see Eriol's projectile food in their face while riding?" Syaoran asked.
" EUWWWW." Everyone shrieked in unison except for Eriol.
" That's what I thought, so let's go on the rides first." Syaoran said.
"Which one?" Arima asked. "Tunnel of Love!! Tunnel of Love!!!" Yumi squealed, dragging Syaoran to the line.
"Yeah, sounds good." Eriol said winking at Tomoyo, who was already in line with her.
" Oh, please." Tomoyo replied, rolling her eyes getting on the small loveboat. "Keep your hands to yourself," she warned him as she turned around to film Sakura.
Arima got on the next one and extended his arm to Sakura, " let me help you there, Mademoiselle."
Sakura giggled and took his hand, " why thank you, Monsieur."
Syaoran was staring at them with his popular death glare.
"Come on, Syaoran," Yumi said to him already getting in. He followed her and the boats started moving one by one. The tunnel was filled with glow in the dark stars and hearts hanging on the sides. Roses, carnations, and cherry blossoms were growing on the sides. It was so beautiful, like going into beautiful land.(corny xP)
Tomoyo wasn't filming everything, because she was too busy being distracted by Eriol's perverted intentions.
" Will you QUIT DOING THAT?!?!" You could hear her yelling.
THUD
Arima tilted his head back and was knocked out by something.
" Good going, Sleep Card." Sakura said to it as it winked at her and went back into card form. She got out another card, crouched down and whispered, " Through Card, sneak by and poke a hole through the bottom of Syaoran's boat."
And with the tap of her wand, Through flew swiftly at the surface of the water and plunged down to the bottom of Syaoran and Yumi's boat. Before you could even blink, there popped a hole, and Through vanished to it's card. Soon enough, water started flowing in.
" It's pretty cool in here." Syaoran said looking around.
"It sure is." Yumi said snuggling up to Syaoran, and he put his arm around her. " Oh Syaoran."
"What?"
" You should have told me first before you starting pissing in the boat. I mean I was I being too forward?" Yumi told him, sitting up.
" WHAT?!" Syaoran said surprised.
" Man, I mean if you had to go that bad.you know." Yumi said.
" Huh?" Syaoran asked and looked down, " we sprung a leak!!!"
"Really?" Yumi said also looking down. "Well, that sure explains it."
"Come on, we got to-" Syaoran said as the boat started to tip over.
SPLASH! They fell in the water and good thing it was only 3 feet. Syaoran came up and spitted some water out. " Too late."
"Ahhh!!!" Yumi screamed.
" What's wrong? Are you okay?" Syaoran walked to her.
" I broke a nail," she said looking at her right hand sadly.
Sakura chuckled to herself. hehehehheheheh ==- At the end of the ride everyone got off, and Arima finally woke up.
"Whoa, what happened?" He asked getting up.
"Oh nothing, you just dozed off." Sakura said calmly.
" Oh, OH yeah." Arima said confused.
Eriol and Tomoyo met them.
" What happened to you?" Sakura asked Eriol, who had a bump on his head.
" Don't ask."
DRIP DRIP
" WHOA! What happen to you guys?" Tomoyo asked Syaoran and Yumi, who were all soaking wet.
" We had a defective boat." Syaoran answered rubbing his hair with a towel given by the ride operator.
" So, which ride next?" Sakura asked trying to hold in her laughter.
That was rich!!
"OH! MAD MANSION!" Arima suggested.
"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Sakura yelled and quickly clapped both of her hands over her mouth.
Arima looked at her, " What's wrong?" Then, he looked at everyone else.
" Oh, no.here we go again." Eriol sighed.
Tomoyo nugged him, " loser, shut up!"
" What?" Arima asked.
"Well, you see-" Tomoyo started.
"Does it have to do with the rollercoaster part?" Arima asked Sakura.
Sakura took her hands off her mouth, " It's not that, it's just the.the.," she looked around and said, ".g-g-ghosts and monsters."
Yumi looked at Syaoran as he said, " Sakura hates them."
"Oh," Arima chuckled. " Is that all? Well, I'll be sitting right next to you, so you don't have to worry."
"That was soooo." Tomoyo said with her camcorder on getting into line for the ride with the others.
" Beautiful.yes, yes." Eriol said pretending to wipe a tear from his eyes. " But I do recall that little Syaoran there is AFRAID of rollercoasters." Eriol turned to see an embarrassed Syaoran.
" Is that true, Syaoran?" Yumi asked him.
" Yes, it is." Syaoran said looking down at her.
" Aww," Yumi said pinching his cheek, " that is soo CUTE.OW!!"
" I'm sorry. Did I hurt you? I thought I saw a bug in your hair." Sakura said after totally slapping Yumi's head. As long as I'm hear, I don't want to see that. " That's okay. I know you didn't mean it. OH LOOK WE'RE NEXT!" Yumi said.
Actually I did. +----- "Alright. Is everyone buckled up? OFF YOU GO!" The ride operator hollered.
The cars, which looked like old antique-ish loveseats, went through as the large, mahogany doors creeked open and shut behind them. They went through the hallway with creepy music and maniac laughter. Sakura looked cowardly, through the spaces between her fingers, left and right to see old pictures, some with wondering eyes.
" Oh god," Sakura said trembling. This night was meant for torturing Yumi, not me!!! " What am I doing? I'm starting to forget my mission." Sakura said to herself remembering what she was meant to do.
" Did you say something, Sakura?" Arima asked her.
" Uh," Sakura said panicking to get out her wand. " Sleep card." She whispered, and Arima was slowing being put to sleep by the Sleep card.
"Dude, cool effects," Arima said sleepily.
" Ugh, I have no time for this," Sakura said digging in her bag for her Sakura book and clocked him on the head with it, and Arima became unconscious. Sorry, Arima. Sakura looked ahead, Arima and her being in the very back with Syaoran and Yumi right in front, and Tomoyo and Eriol two cars up. She saw how Syaoran and Yumi were easily distracted by the ride. " Now's my chance," Sakura whispered as was shuffling through her cards. " Aha, Firey." She waited until Syaoran was looking the other way and, " Firey, burn this part of the loveseat." A small spark came from the card, and soon the end starting to burst into flames. The flames seeped through that right side.
"Oh, everything looks soo real!!" Yumi said happily.
" Yeah, just hope there won't be any sudden drop." Syaoran said starting to get a bit queasy.
" Oh, Syaoran," Yumi said hugging him tightly and suddenly caught smell of something. "What's that smell?"
Syaoran took a whiff and said, "smells like the couch is burning."
"Oh." LONG PAUSE "THE COUCH IS BURNING?!" They both said in unison and saw smoke and flames coming from Yumi's side.
"Ow!" Yumi said standing on the seat.
" Calm down, Yumi," Syaoran said trying to fan the smoke away. Then, suddenly, the right side started crumbling down, Yumi slipped and she was hanging on to Syaoran.
" AHHHHH!!!" Yumi screamed in terror.
" OH NO!!!" Sakura screamed at the sight of it. I didn't mean for that much to happen.
" What's happening back there?" Eriol said turning around.
" OH MY!!" Tomoyo screamed.
With that, Syaoran started to slip and was now on with his stomach on his side, and his hands desperately trying to hold on.
" I GOTTA DO SOMETHING!" Sakura yelled. -----* to be continued!!! Please Review!!!
