School

"Ohayou! Am I late?" Sakura said as she opened the door.

"No… you're just in time," Tomoyo said with a smile.

Then Naoko approached her and said, "You're early today…"

"Yeah… I'm surprise too," Sakura said while sweat drops appeared.

Then their teacher, Terada-sensei (Am I right?), came and said, "Class, settle down… please go back to your seats… I have an announcement."

Everyone went to their seats and looked at the seat next to her and recalled a flashback.

Flash back

"Aaaaahhhhh! Why look I'm stuck with a dumb boy," Sakura exclaimed.

"What do you think, stupid girl," Syaoran replied angrily, "do you think I wanted to seat next to you, never."

And they both stared at each other with flames of anger in their eyes. Then teacher arrived and classes have begun.

"Now, now Sakura please seat down," Ms. Mizuki said, "I have an important announcement."

Sakura apologized to Ms. Mizuki and she sit down.

"Class, we are going to have a play," Ms. Mizuki explained happily to class, "and Naoko is the director, Naoko please come in front."

"Um… classmates the title of the play is Sleeping Beauty, "Naoko explained nervously to her classmates, "I will announce the characters after lunch."

 End of flash back

"I haven't said to him that I love him yet," Sakura thought, "If only I could say it properly like he did."

Near the entrance of their classroom

A boy and a woman were near the entrance. "Ms. Mizuki… I can't do it," the boy with navy blue hair and azure eyes said.

"Someone's coming," Ms. Mizuki said.

"Wait a minute… is that Syaoran?" the boy said as he looked at a boy with chestnut hair.

"Nihao (hello)!" the boy with chestnut hair said, "Forgot my face already… ne Eriol."

"No I didn't" Eriol protested, "It's just you've kinda… sort of… looked different."

Syaoran looked at himself and said, "Maybe it's the training that made my muscles a little bigger… you look different too."

 "Do I?" Eriol playfully said.

"Sure you are," Syaoran said, "You became a bit taller and looked a bit smarter."

"Of course I do," Eriol said.

"Boys aren't you going inside?" Ms. Mizuki interrupted.

"Ms. Mizuki, you go first," Eriol weakly said.

"Alright," Ms. Mizuki said.

Ms. Mizuki entered the classroom and everyone was surprised. "Oh! Kaho! Long time no see," Terada-sensei said.

Tomoyo's eyes widen and thought, "If Ms. Mizuki's here… can it be… he's back."

"Now, now," Ms. Mizuki said, "go back to your seats."

Then everyone heard from outside the classroom some arguments. "You go first!"

"No you first!"

"You go!"

"Here's the deal, let's go in together."

"But don't ditch on me."

"I won't ditch you… ready 1, 2… 3."

Two boys clumsily entered the classroom. Tomoyo and Sakura were so happy that they broke into tears.

"Syaoran," Sakura said as she covers her mouth.

"Hello!" Eriol and Syaoran said in chorus.

Everyone said, "Welcome back!"

Eriol approached Tomoyo and said with a smile, "I promised I'll come back… didn't I?

Tomoyo nodded. "Now don't cry," Eriol said as he wipes Tomoyo's tears, "It makes me sad to see you crying."

Syaoran looked at Tomoyo and Eriol then at Sakura. "I'm back… Sakura," Syaoran said as he approached her as well.

Syaoran hugged Sakura and said, "I told you that my heart will always be with you no matter what."

Everyone clapped and Eriol, Tomoyo Sakura and Syaoran blushed as red as a tomato.

Naoko approached Syaoran and said, "I have a favour to ask you."

"Sure… what is it?" Syaoran said as he let go of Sakura.

"Could you please be the prince in my play," Naoko replied.

"What?! Another play!" Syaoran exclaimed, "I thought it was finished already."

"It's the same play as before," Naoko explained, "It was rescheduled remember."

"Sure, I'll be the prince," Syaoran sighed.

"Do you still memorize your lines?" Naoko asked.

"Yes," Syaoran replied.

Then Naoko approached Eriol and said, "Can you be the king?"

"You already know my answer," Eriol said as he looked at Tomoyo.

"Then I'll take it as a yes," Naoko said with a smile.

Lunch Time

"How was it in England?" Tomoyo asked.

"Okay… but lonely sometimes," Eriol said while looking at the sky.

"Why?" Tomoyo said while looking at Eriol.

Eriol turned to Tomoyo and smiled. "Because there is no goddess to make me smile when I'm lonely," Eriol answered.

Tomoyo smiled and joked, "And no schemes in making Sakura and Syaoran fall for each other."

"Speaking of schemes… did Syaoran tell her?" Eriol eagerly said.

"Yes but Sakura didn't answer him yet," Tomoyo replied while looking at the two, "Want to watch the video? I got it on tape."

"How did you…"

"I was hiding while taping that kawaii moment," Tomoyo said with her glittering eyes.

"You really do anything to tape our plans," Eriol said as he gave a small laugh.

"Of course," Tomoyo said as she gave a small laugh as well, "I haven't got a chance to tape most of our plans."

Sakura and Syaoran looked at them. "They sure got along well," Syaoran said.

Sakura nodded and said, "Syaoran… I… I… wanted… to say… that… that… I…"

Then the school bell rang. "It's the bell," Syaoran said as he looked at his watch, "You better go to practice… I'll be waiting at the penguin park and tell Naoko I'll start practicing tomorrow."

"Sure! Ja ne," Sakura said as she got up, "Tomoyo, let's go!"

"Oh… that's the bell," Tomoyo said as she got up, "Better get going."

"I'll be waiting at the penguin park," Eriol said, "See you there after class."

"It's a deal!" Tomoyo said as she run off to class.

Practice

"I couldn't say to him that I love him without making a fool of myself," Sakura thought as she looked very frustrated.

"Sakura, is something a matter?" Naoko said as she went to see Sakura.

"I'm okay… don't worry," Sakura replied with a smile.

"Where's Syaoran?" Naoko asked.

"He said that he will start to practice tomorrow," Sakura replied.

"And Eriol," Naoko continued.

"Don't know… ask Tomoyo," Sakura said as she looked at Tomoyo.

Naoko approached Tomoyo and asked, "Where's Eriol?"

"He didn't said a word to me but he must want to rest first," Tomoyo said with a smile.

"That's okay! I understand," Naoko said, "Let's start practicing!"

"Hai!" everyone said.

Penguin Park

Syaoran and Eriol were sitting on the swings. "When do you plan to stay?" Eriol asked.

"I don't know," Syaoran answered, "I was asked by the elders to go back to Japan… they didn't tell me when to come back."

"If I was given to stay here forever… I'll say yes," Eriol said while looking at the sky.

"Is it because of Tomoyo," Syaoran said.

"You did change," Eriol happily said, "You're not THAT dense anymore."

"What?" Syaoran said.

Eriol gave a big laugh and said, "I guess I'm wrong! You haven't change a bit!"

Two girls approached Syaoran and Eriol. "Eriol let's go!" Tomoyuo said.

"Where?" Eriol said.

"You know the tape," Tomoyo silently said.

"That… let's go," Eriol replied.

"Where are you going?" Sakura asked.

"Nothing special," Tomoyo and Eriol said, "We better get going."

"Those two... wanna go to the amusement park?" Syaoran said.

"I thought you went there yesterday," Sakura replied.

"I just arrived at 4:00 in the morning,"Syaoran said, "How could I be at the amusement park yesterday?"

"I someone who looks exactly like you," Sakura said in a worried voice.

"I was right! This vacation they made is training after all!" Syaoran thought.

"Is something the matter," Sakura said.

"No… nothing's wrong… I'm alright! Don't worry," Syaoran said as sweat drops appeared, "Let's go."

"Sure!" Sakura said with a smile.
