Chapter 11 ~The Dance and the Performance~
"OK class! Remember that today is our final day at Camp Lyndon! So that means that tonight is the dance!" Mr. Terada announced at breakfast. Like he said, today was the last full day at Camp Lyndon. Tomorrow they would be back on the plane to Japan.
"It's kind of sad... I really liked it here!" Tomoyo said. Her friends agreed.
"But soon we will be home! I missed everyone..." Sakura said.
"Speaking of which, where is Kero?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well now that my dad and brother know about the Sakura Cards, Kero could stay at home where he was safe." Sakura said.
Mr. Terada walked over to them. "Would you four like to decorate this room for the dance after breakfast? Everyone is staying here today anyway." He asked them.
"Sure!" Tomoyo and Sakura replied.
"All right." Syaoran and Eriol answered after them.
"Great! So after breakfast, I will help you guys clean up and then we will get some boxes of decorations from the boat house and you guys can start decorating." Mr. Terada said. The four kids nodded.
After breakfast everyone but Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo went outside to either pack or play. "Let's get started!" Mr. Terada said when everyone left.
First they folded up the tables and moved them to the bunk room downstairs. Besides the cabins the class was staying in, there are 4 other cabins, beds in the boat house and main hall. Eriol and Syaoran moved one of the long tables onto the stage to be the music place. Then they helped Sakura and Tomoyo sweep.
"Here are the decorations, now I'm going to leave you four to decorate ok?" Mr. Terada said. The four nodded.
"Wow! Look at all the stuff!" Sakura said, looking through one of the two boxes of decorations. She pulled out a long string of lights. "Syaoran, will you help me hang these up?" Sakura asked him.
"Sure." Syaoran said. They walked over to a wall and both of them climbed up onto a chair and started hanging up the lights.
Tomoyo and Eriol were still looking through the two boxes. "Let hang this up around the table on the stage!" Tomoyo said, pulling out a very long, gold colored boa.
"Ok." Eriol said. He grabbed a roll of tape and followed Tomoyo to the stage and they started hanging up the boa.
The class had to eat lunch out side because they were not allowed to see the decorations until it was time for the dance. Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol ate at one of the picnic benches outside.
"Uh-oh..." Sakura suddenly said.
"What is it?" Syaoran asked.
"I forgot to bring an outfit for the dance..!" Sakura said, smacking her forehead.
"Don't worry Sakura! I brought an outfit for you! Made by me!" Tomoyo said happily.
"OK. Good..." Sakura sighed, relived. After lunch the group went back inside to finish up some decorating.
Around five, the sun was setting and they finished decorating. Eriol walked over to the door and hit the light switch. All the lights in the room went out. Tomoyo and Sakura screamed.
"You're not afraid of the dark are you?" Eriol asked.
"NO!" Both girls yelled. All of a sudden, the room lit up with small lights. The girls looked around.
"Who did that?" Tomoyo asked. Her answer was answered quickly by Syaoran, who walked out from the hallway.
"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled. Running up to him and hugging him. "It's so pretty!"
"You and Tomoyo hung them up, remember?" Syaoran said.
"Eriol! I never expected it to be this beautiful!" Tomoyo said running over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Eriol put his hands on her face and kissed her.
"But it's not a beautiful as you." Eriol whispered.
"Aw... That's so sweet!" Tomoyo said, hugging Eriol again.
"The dance is starting soon, so go get ready." Eriol said to Tomoyo. She ran over to Sakura and grabbed her arm and dragged her out the door to the cabin.
----------------------
Sakura and Tomoyo came up to the main hall both in somewhat matching outfits. Sakura had on a green halter-top and a green short skirt. She had on black high heel sandal like shoes. Her hair was left down.
Tomoyo had on a dark purple halter-top and a dark purple short skirt. Her shoes were exactly the same as Sakura's. Her hair was pulled into a bun with a few strands hanging down around her face. They walked into the main hall and saw Syaoran and Eriol talking to Takashi and Chiharu. Chiharu had on a yellow tank top and a white short skirt. She had white sandal like shoes like Sakura's. Her hair wasn't in pigtails, but left down. Sakura and Tomoyo didn't recognize her at first.
"Hey!" Syaoran called to them. Tomoyo and Sakura walked over. Eriol took Tomoyo's hand and pulled her out to the dance area. Syaoran did the same with Sakura.
Tomoyo smiled and put her hands around Eriol neck. Eriol put his hands on Tomoyo's waist and they started to dance slowly.
Sakura had her head on Syaoran's chest. "I love you." She whispered.
Syaoran smiled and said, "I love you too."
After the song ended, Eriol took Tomoyo's hand and led her outside. They stood on the porch, overlooking the whole camp. The moon was full and all the stars we out. Eriol took both of Tomoyo's hands in his own and kissed her. Tomoyo smiled when they broke apart. They just stared in each other eyes for a while before kissing again, deeper this time. I suck at fluff... can't you tell?
"Let's go back inside, ok?" Tomoyo asked, when they broke the kiss.
"After you miss!" Eriol said, opening the door for Tomoyo. She giggled and walked inside.
--------------------
"Ah... It feels so go to be home!" Sakura said, getting off the bus in front of her school.
"Yeah. But it's kind of sad, I really liked cape Cod." Tomoyo said, getting off right after Sakura.
"But we had fun right?" Eriol asked, following Tomoyo. The two girls nodded.
"But there is one bad thing..." Syaoran said, walking over to Sakura.
"What's that?" Sakura asked.
"You two have the festival performance... Tonight!" Syaoran said to Eriol and Tomoyo.
"What?! Oh man, I forgot!" Eriol said, smacking himself on the forehead.
"Me too!" Tomoyo said.
"You guys did practice a lot. So why don't you go up to the stage now, run through it one more time then meet at my place!" Sakura said.
"Good idea." Tomoyo said. She grabbed Eriol's hand and dragged him to the auditorium.
---------------------
After they practiced the song, Eriol and Tomoyo went to their houses to get changed for the festival. Tomoyo changed into a long black dress and put her hair up in a bun. Eriol put on a black suit. They then met each other, Sakura and Syaoran at Sakura's house.
"Ready?" Sakura asked. Her three friends nodded. "Let's go!" she said.
When they got to the festival area, Mr. Terada came up to them. "Eriol, Tomoyo we are having trouble with the stage lights in the school, so the performances will be held outside." He said.
"Really?" Tomoyo asked. Mr. Terada nodded. "YAY!" Tomoyo squealed, hugging Eriol.
"Also, you two are performing next, so get up to the stage!" Mr. Terada said.
"Eh?! Tomoyo hurry!" Eriol said, grabbing her hand and pulling her to the stage.
Sakura and Syaoran laughed then went to find a seat. The got front row. Tomoyo then ran up to them. "Here." She said, handing Sakura her camera, then running off before either Sakura or Syaoran could say anything.
"I guess she wants me to tape it." Sakura said.
"That makes sense." Syaoran shrugged.
"Now 7th graders, Tomoyo Daidouji and Eriol Hiiragizawa perform a duet of the song 'For All Time'" Someone announced. Eriol and Tomoyo walked up onto the stage. Sakura gasped and pressed the record button. Eriol sat down at the piano. Tomoyo looked over at him and nodded, he started playing.
Tomoyo let him play the introduction before letting her voice ring out.
"You've been the first in my life
Who has ever made me feel this way
And I will not deny
I'm gonna need you right here
By my side
Baby, I can wait
Come on over here and let me lead the way
Let me take your breath away
By holdin' and kissin' and lovin' and touchin' you
Never will be too late
To see myself through your eyes
Baby, I can wait
Until the day I hear you say
You are mine
There's no other one for me
Keep in mind
You make my life complete
And tonight
We'll make love endlessly
Cuz you're mine
You're the one that I'll keep
For all time
Now that you're here, boy
I'm never gonna let you go
Can I touch you there, or
Do you mind if we kiss real slow
You're my everything
You're my hopes and dreams
Baby, you know it ain't no lie
I'm gonna be with you till the day that I die
Baby, I can wait
Come on over here and let me lead the way
Let me take your breath away
By holdin' and kissin' and lovin' and touchin' you
Never will be too late
To see myself through your eyes
Baby, I can wait
Until the day I hear you say
You are mine
There's no other one for me
Keep in mind
You make my life complete
And tonight
We'll make love endlessly
Cuz you're mine
You're the one that I'll keep
For all time
You're the one that lights my fire
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the one that I depend on
When my world is goin' wrong
You're the one that I hold closer
You're the man I'm dreaming of
And I really really love you
I just want you to know that
You are mine
There's no other one for me
Keep in mind
You make my life complete
And tonight
We'll make love endlessly
Cuz you're mine
You're the one that I'll keep
For all time
I can't wait til the day
When I hear you say
You're the one that I need
You're the one that I'll keep
For all time"
Tomoyo held the note. When she finished, the audience burst out in applause. Eriol got up, hugged Tomoyo, took her hand and bowed with her. She smiled widely. When they got off stage, all her friends ran up to them with bouquets of flowers. The group of friends watched the rest of the performances.
"Now it is time to announce the winners. The winning performance is, Tomoyo Daidouji and Eriol Hiiragizawa!" Someone announced after all the performances. Eriol and Tomoyo went up on stage to receive their reward. The hugged and went back down into the audience, where they were almost knocked over by their excited friends.
---------------------------------------------------
FINALLY! It took forever to get that chapter done! I'm just happy it is done. The song was "For All Time" By Soluna. It's a really pretty song. It worked when I was thinking about it but I don't know if it really was that great in the story! Epilogue is the next part!
