Chapter 4 ~Dinner at Tomoyo's~

Sakura and Syaoran burst into Sakura's room. "You are so evil Syaoran! That was brilliant!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Yeah I know... but on Tomoyo's part lets call it a little thing called... payback." Syaoran said. The couple was talking about how greatly their plan to avoid dinner with Tomoyo and Eriol went.

"Yeah well, it's payback on Eriol too... He was in the whole mission - S+S thing too." Sakura pointed out.

"HA! I wonder how long it will take for Eriol to tell her his feelings?" Syaoran asked, then he quickly added an, "Oops..."

"WHAT?!" Sakura screamed. 'We are lucky we are home alone... big brother would be at our throats for making so much noise...' she thought. "Did you just say Eriol likes Tomoyo?" Sakura asked him.

"Um... yeah... he does..." Syaoran said with a sigh.

"Then what's their problem?" Sakura asked.

"He doesn't know if Tomoyo likes him..." Syaoran pointed out.

"She does." Sakura said quickly.

"Are you serious?"

"Dead"

"Then they should be able to confess their feelings..."

"But they don't know how the other feels..."

"We should tell them."

"They have to do this on their own..."

"Why?"

"Because." Sakura said glaring at Syaoran.

"Fine... you win... we don't tell them... but if they take to long..."

"Let them take as long as they want." Sakura said, sitting next Syaoran.

"Why shou -." Syaoran tried to say, but his sentence was cut short by a kiss on the lips from Sakura.

"Just shut up... please?" Sakura asked with a smile when they broke apart. Syaoran nodded. "Good." She said and kissed him again.

Tomoyo and Eriol walked down the road to Tomoyo's house.

"Do you want me to help you make dinner?" Eriol asked.

"Don't need help... I have maids who do the cooking. I called ahead to them. Dinner should be ready when we get to my hou - er mansion." Tomoyo said.

"Oh. What are we having?" Eriol asked.

"No clue... we will find out when we get there." Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Yeah." Eriol said.

There was an awkward silence and both of them started to blush. Finally Tomoyo said, "To bad your old house was demolished... you could have moved back there... it was a really nice house."

"Yeah... but I saw a nice place just up the street from there." Eriol said. Another awkward silence.

"Um... Eriol?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yes?"

"Do you like being one of the chosen students?"

"Of course I do!"

"You must hate having to work with me..." Tomoyo said sadly.

"Of course I don't!" Eriol said, "There is no one I'd rather work with..." He finished, choosing he words carefully.

"Really?" Tomoyo asked, smiling.

"Of course."

"Thank you" Tomoyo said, smiling. The two kept walking until they reached the gate to Tomoyo's house. "Well we are here. Let me just ring up to the house so someone can open the gate."

"Okay." Eriol said.

"Hello! It's Tomoyo can you open the gate please?" Tomoyo said.

"Of course Miss Tomoyo." A voice rang through the speaker.

"Thanks a lot!" Tomoyo said. The gate opened and Eriol and Tomoyo started walking up the long driveway to her house.

"This is amazing!" Eriol exclaimed. "Your yard is beautiful! I can't wait to see the inside of your house!"

"Thanks but... It's just my mother, the maids, and me so the house always seems cold and empty, we have a bigger house than we need." Tomoyo sighed.

"I know how you feel... it was they same way at my old house here... just Spinnel, Ruby Moon, and me..." Eriol said.

"Speaking of them... where are they?" Tomoyo asked.

"Oh they are here... I must make sure I lock up all the sweets that Ruby Moon bought so she can't make Spinnel drunk." Eriol said with a laugh.

"Oh... I've only seen Spinnel once and he scares me!" Tomoyo said.

"Well you've only seen his true form. He looks very much like... um what do you and Sakura call Cerebrus?"

"Kero"

"Oh yes. Well Spinnel looks just like Kero, only he is black." Eriol said. By then they were only half way up her driveway. "Wow this drive way is really big, all this walking is making me hungry!"

"Hehehe. Well in that case, you should be starving when dinner comes. Which is a very good thing because my mother always sets out five courses, even if it is just me." Tomoyo said. All of a sudden it started to rain. Tomoyo screamed and put her hood up on her jacket, Eriol did the same.

"RUN!" Eriol yelled. The two of them ran the rest of the way up to the house. Along the way Tomoyo's hood fell off, but she didn't care. She found she actually liked the rain. When thy finally reached the over hang of her house, they started to burst out laughing.

"Well that was fun!" Tomoyo said as Eriol took his hood off.

"You are soaked!" Eriol said with a laugh.

"I'll change before dinner... Eriol you are soaked too!" Tomoyo laughed. "We should have an extra pair of clothes that you could wear. Don't worry my mom has guests over all the time, there should be something that fits you."

"Thanks." Eriol said.

Tomoyo turned and knocked on the door. Five seconds later, a tall man in a butler outfit opened the door. "Ah... Miss Tomoyo, you are soaked!" The butler exclaimed. He then noticed Eriol, "Ah and who is this? He is soaked too."

"This is Eriol Hiiragizawa, Eriol this is our butler." Tomoyo said Sorry I completely suck at making up names... so the Butler just goes by Butler.

"Well both of you are soaked, why don't you show Eriol here the guest room, so he can put on some drier clothes." The Butler suggested.

"Ok, Let's go Eriol." Tomoyo said. She led Eriol through her house and up the stairs. Every once in a while, Tomoyo would have to turn around to wait for Eriol, who was amazed at the size of the house.

"This place is huge! So much bigger than my old house!" Eriol said, Tomoyo just laughed.

"Well, here is the guest room, you can find all the clothes in that closet. I'll be in my room so I will meet you downstairs." Tomoyo said.

"OK. Thanks, Tomoyo." Eriol said. He went inside the room and closed the door. He went over to the closet and saw it was a walk in closet. "Wow..." Eriol said as he looked through all the clothes. 'I really should tell Tomoyo my feelings soon...' Eriol thought, 'Syaoran helped a little but what happens if Tomoyo doesn't like me in the same way? I know! I will tell on the field trip! That gives me plenty of time to think about it!'

Tomoyo sat on her bed, brushing her hair. She had changed into a dark-blue pair of jeans and a light blue sweater. She gasped and ran into her video editing room. She searched though her tapes until she found one labeled, "The greatest memories of Tomeda." She grabbed it and ran out of her room and down the stairs. She looked around, Eriol wasn't down yet. "Oh well." Tomoyo sighed and sat down at the table.

A few moments later, Tomoyo heard footsteps. She looked over to the stairs and saw Eriol coming down. She blushed. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark blue shirt. He looked over to Tomoyo and he blushed too, so he looked away.

"Sorry that took so long. The closet was huge! I had trouble finding something that fit me." Eriol said with a laugh. Tomoyo laughed too.

"Umm Eriol?" She asked.

"Yeah?"

"Um... here." Tomoyo said handing Eriol the tape.

"What's this?" He asked.

"Oh! It's a tape of all the friends you made here... Just incase you don't find a house and you have to move back to England. You will always have something to remember us by." Tomoyo said.

"Thank you very much Tomoyo. I will find a house here so don't worry but I will watch it on days I feel lonely. Thank you again." Eriol said. He sat down across from Tomoyo.

All of a sudden the door opened and someone yelled, "I'm home!"

"Mother!" Tomoyo exclaimed, "They let you go home early?"

"Of course!" Her mother said, hugging Tomoyo, "I can finally come home to eat dinner with you!"

"Oh mom! This is my good friend, Eriol Hiiragizawa." Tomoyo said.

"Hello there! Tomoyo has told me about you, I'm so glad I can finally meet you! I'm Sonomi Daidouji." Sonomi said.

"It's nice to meet you too." Eriol said, standing up and bowing.

"Oh! He is so polite, Tomoyo!" Sonomi exclaimed.

"Yeah..." Tomoyo said.

"Thank you." Eriol said.

"Well, lets eat!" Sonomi said.

"OK!" Tomoyo and Eriol said, just noticing the plates of food in front of them.

After they finished eating, Tomoyo asked, "Was it good Eriol?"

"Of course!" Eriol said.

"Hey, Tomoyo!" Sonomi called from the other room.

"Hold on one second." Tomoyo told Eriol, she went out of the room. "Yes mother?"

"Why don't you invite all your friends over for a sleep-over tonight! You can all get together before your big field trip" Sonomi suggested.

"Even the boys too?" Tomoyo asked.

"Of course!"

"OK! That's a great idea! Thanks mom! I'll go call everyone now!" Tomoyo said hugging her mom. She ran back into the living room where Eriol was. "Guess what?" Tomoyo asked him.

"What?" Eriol asked.

"My mom says that you, Sakura, Syaoran, and everybody else can come over for a sleep-over tonight! Can you?" Tomoyo said.

"I would like to stay. But I would have to go home and get everything." Eriol said.

"That's ok, I have to call everyone anyway, and since it's raining you can ask my mom for an umbrella." Tomoyo said.

"Alright! See you in a bit." Eriol said.

Tomoyo squealed mentally and ran upstairs to call everyone. After about ten minutes she had called, Sakura, Syaoran, Chiharu, Takashi, Naoko and Rika. All of them said, "Yes" She told them all to come as soon as possible. Tomoyo was so excited. She grabbed her sleeping bag, and pillow and ran into another room that was made especially for her parties. The room was large, very large. There was a big screen TV, with a large couch in front of it. There was a long table off to the side, which she put lots of snacks on. Then there was the huge stereo and a small dance floor in front of it. The rest of the floor was bare and that's where she unrolled her sleeping bag and placed her pillow down. 'This is going to be the best party ever!' She thought as she ran down stars to get snacks.

Tomoyo ran into the kitchen and grabbed a stack of large bowls. She ran back upstairs and set them out on the large table. Tomoyo then ran downstairs again and grabbed four bags of different chips. She did this three other times, with plates, cups, and drinks and by the time she was done she was out of breath so she went back down stairs and flopped on the couch to wait for her friends.
