Last Session and The Beginning of Evil Match-Making Plans
By: Kalli (Long title,huh?)
~~~@ Beach~~~#$Syaoran P.O.V.#$
I woke up and yawned a little bit. I looked around to see where I was and then I noticed that I had my arms around Sakura. My eyes widened a bit. 'Did we?.....' Then I remembered that we were in a Hotel and the others were on the same floor as us. Then I remembered something else. 'Eriol and Kinomoto-san set this up! Eriol will pay dearly and Kinomoto will be getting a verrrrrrrry long test on Monday morning....' I then gently slipped out of bed so that I didn't wake up Sakura and got dressed. I looked over at her sleeping form. 'She looks so cute when she's sleeping.....and when she's awake for that matter.' I thought to myself smiling.
I checked the clock. '9:05? I haven't slept in that late for a long time! I guess I'll head downstairs to get some breakfast'. I grabbed the key and went downstairs to see what they had to eat.
When I got there I noticed that Sakura's older brother was sitting at one of the tables, but nobody else was there that I knew.
So, I went over and sat down. He looked up and smiled. "Good morning, Li- kun"
"Morning. Syaoran is fine, Kinomoto-san"
"Just Touya, please."
"Ok. So, where is everyone else?"
"Well, I heard your cousin snoring when I came down." We both snorted a little at that. " But Tomoyo is at the pool going for a morning swim and Kaho is with her. Nakuru is going to get the Breakfast for us, and Yukito is sleeping in too I think. Should I go tell Nakuru that you want something too?"
"I'll do it. I'll be right back" I said getting up to go find Nakuru.
After looking around for a little while, I found her ordering something at a Breakfast counter. I tapped her on the shoulder to make sure it was her.
She turned around and smiled. "Morning! Do you want something?"
I nodded. "Touya told me you'd be over here getting their breakfast. I'll have pancakes."
"And an order of Pancakes too, please" she said to the man behind the counter who was taking their order. He nodded and went to fix them.
I fished around in my pocket for my wallet and pulled it out. "How much were the pancakes?"
She held her hand up. "Don't worry about it, it's my treat."
"Isn't Touya paying?"
She nodded. "I don't think he'll mind though."
We walked back over to the table that Touya was sitting at and sat back down.
"Syaoran, where's Sakura? Have you seen her today?"
I nodded. "She's still sleeping."
Nakuru then said what could be some of the most deadly words I had ever heard. "Didn't you guys share a room?"
Touya nearly choked on his coffee and slammed it down on the table."They WHAT?!"
"It wasn't my fault! Eriol and Tomoyo gave us a set of keys and ran off as fast as they could!"
Touya seemed to calm down a little at this. "I'll have to talk to those 2 later."
I mentally sighed in relief. "Me too. To clear a few things up 1- nothing happened. 2- If it makes you feel any better, Eriol and your sister took the room with 2 beds and gave us the last 1 bed room."
He nodded. "At least I have more reassurance that you and Sakura are more mature and less 'in love' than those 2 "
I nodded."After you talk to Eriol, send him to me. He'll be getting a room all to himself.....in the hospital, that is"
Nakuru laughed. "That means you better save some of the poor kid for Li to beat up."
Touya smiled. "I'll do my best."
A few minutes later, our breakfast came and we ate while exchanging small talk. After we were done, we decided to go wake everyone else up so that we could head home.
Touya went to go get Kaho and Tomoyo from the pool, Nakuru went to go get Yukito up, and I was sent to wake up Sakura.
I walked back into the room and saw her on the couch watching TV. She turned around when I came in and smiled. "Good morning!"
I smiled back. "Morning. Sorry, if I had known you were going to wake up while I was gone, I would've left a note."
"Don't worry about it. But where were you?"
"I went down to get some breakfast and ran into Touya and Nakuru. He freaked out when I told him we shared a room. After I told him what happened, he said he's going to have a talk with the 2 schemers that put us in that situation. After he's done with them, I'll tell your sister she's gonna have a test on Monday that will be verrrry hard and Eriol's gonna get a room to himself in the hospital."
She pouted a little. "Was I THAT bad of a roommate?"
I laughed a little. "Not at all! But don't you have at least a small desire to kill them?"
She nodded. "Yeah. After you and Touya are done, Tomoyo can share Eriol's room in the Hospital if that's alright. And do I have your permission to whack Eriol's head?"
I nodded. "As much as you want"
~~~~Later on when their leaving the hotel~~~~#$Normal P.O.V.#$
"Alright, I think that's it" said Touya as he shut the trunk on the car.
"Good. After all that, I'm ready to go home!" said Tomoyo.
"We'll see you guys later" said Eriol as he started walking towards the car.
Syaoran grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him back. "Hold on just a second Mister. It's time for you to pay for tricking me and Sakura like that"
Touya and Sakura(who was dragging Tomoyo{who looked really scared} behind her) came up and glared at Eriol. "Us too"
"N-n-now g-guys, I'm s-s-sure that y-y-you don't really w-wanna h-h-hurt me or a-anything, d-do you?" said Eriol nervously.
Syaoran smiled evilly. "I already promised Touya that he got you 2 schemers 1st. Then it's my turn, then you get to face Sakura's wrath"
He then nodded to Touya, who took Eriol by the ear and Tomoyo by the arm and dragged them off protesting.
"SAKURA! KAHO! NAKURU!!!! YUKITO! HELP US!!!!!!!!" yelled Tomoyo.
Sakura smiled and waved while Kaho and Nakuru laughed and Yukito mouthed 'I'll pray for you'
When Touya brought the 2 of them back, Tomoyo was pale and Eriol was shaking.
Syaoran then smiled evilly at them. "My turn.."
Eriol smiled nervously and laughed a little, then started to try and run off in the other direction. Sakura, however caught him and dragged him screaming back to Syaoran. He smiled at her. "Thank you very much, Sakura. I promise to leave some for you."
She smiled sweetly. "Why Thank you!"
"Your welcome. Come on you 2" He said dragging Eriol, who was trying to stop them by digging his fingernails into the pavement and Tomoyo who was looking at the sky with a sorrowful look.
When they came back, it was Sakura's turn. She walked up to them and they got on their knees. "We won't do it again! We promise!" they said.
She smiled at them. "Good! Now stand up." They stood up and Sakura whacked Tomoyo on the side of her head and then whacked Eriol.
"Owie! That hurt!" He said looking at her like a sad puppy.
Then Touya came up. "Do anything like that again and you die!" then he whacked Eriol on the back of his head. Then Syaoran whacked Eriol on the back of his head. Then Nakuru whacked Eriol on the back of his head.
"Ouch! Nakuru! What was that for?"
She shrugged and smiled sheepishly. "It looked like fun!"
He glared at her. "It's not"
Tomoyo snorted. "To you it's not."
"Shut up!"
"Make me!"
"YOU didn't just get WHACKED ON THE HEAD 4 times!"
"It probably knocked some better sense into you!"
"Wanna borrow some of it? Sounds like you could USE some!"
"I love you!"
"Oh yeah?! Oh, wait a sec..that's a good thing...I love you too!"
Kaho then walked in from getting a drink of water. "Um..did I miss something here?"
They all nodded. "Yep"
She blinked a few times. "Alrighty then...I'm just gonna go..yeah.." And with that, she walked back inside the Hotel.
Everyone laughed at her reaction and finished packing their stuff.
"Oh no!" yelled Tomoyo.
"What?"
"I forgot to get my swimsuit out of the room!"
"Let's go back and get it" said Eriol as he walked back into the Hotel with Tomoyo at his side.
"I'll go get Kaho and tell her it's time to go." Said Yukito.
"I'll go with you, I need to ask her something" said Nakuru, who was already walking into the building.
"I'm gonna go get some water"said Touya.
And that left S+S alone. They looked at each other for a second and then turned away blushing. Then Sakura spoke. "Well, that was a fun trip"
"Yeah, it was.."
*Akward silence*
"Well, I guess we should be going now, huh?" said Syaoran when he saw Eriol and Tomoyo walking towards the door laughing.
Sakura looked where he glanced at and nodded. "Yeah, I guess so."
She walked up to him quickly and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see ya later, Syaoran!" and then ran off.
He blushed and touched his cheek where she had kissed him. Then Eriol came up behind him. "Hey man, ready to go?"
Syaoran just nodded, got in the car, and took off.
~~~~Last tutoring session with E+T~~~~#$Tomoyo P.O.V#$
I sighed and checked the clock. '4:48...the same time as it had been at the Ice cream parlor that time. The same day Eriol had asked me out.'
*Ring* I jumped a little when the phone rang.
But I jumped up to answer it."Hello?"
"Tomoyo? Hi! It's Meiling!"
"Hey! Calling for Sakura?"
"Yeah, but could you just give her a message for me?"
"Sure!"
"Okay. Tell her that I'm gonna be coming over in about 1 1/2 hours, okay?"
"Alright, I'll tell her."
"By the way, I hear your dating somebody now. Who's the lucky guy?"
I blushed a little. "Hiirigizawa Eriol."
"And he would be?"
"He's the guy that was tutoring me. We're having the last session today!"
"But you guys are still gonna date, right?"
"Yeah! I might need more help later on too, so I'll still have a person to tutor me!"
"Cool! Well, I gotta go get ready. See ya later! Bye!"
"Bye!" I said as I hung up.
~~~~On the other end with Meiling~~~~#$Meiling P.O.V.#$
After I hung up with Tomoyo, I realized something. 'Eriol? Hiirigizawa? Oh.My.God. That's my cousin! Syaoran MUST be her teacher this year. There's no other way!'
~~~~Back with Tomoyo~~~~#$Tomoyo P.O.V.#$
I checked the clock again. 'Just 3 more minutes' I was already sitting down at the table waiting for him to come'. I sighed for what I figured was the 10th time that day.
*ding-dong*
I jumped up and ran downstairs and flung open the door to find a smiling Eriol.
"Just couldn't wait to see me again, could you Tomoyo?" he said smirking.
I smirked back. "I'll sick Sakura on you if you keep that up, Darling!" I said sweetly.
He paled a little and gulped."Uh, no, that's REALLY okay!"
I smiled at him, making sure he could see the hint of a smirk on my face. 'He's been pretty scared of Sakura ever since that beach trip. Gee, I wonder why.' I stifled a laugh on the outside, but was laughing maniacally (a/n- I don't think I spelled that right...if anyone knows how it's spelled, please tell me in your review! Thank u! ^.^)on the inside.
"C'mon, let's get started" I said leading Eriol up the stairs.
He wiggled his eyebrows. "Have something different in mind for this session, don't ya?"
I turned and glared at him. "You know, I think that Yamada guy could do a better job at this than you!" (a/n- the blonde guy she flirted with. Refer to last chapter if you don't get that)
He glared and grabbed my hand and started dragging me up the stairs muttering something about 'must kill that stupid pimp-wannabe'.
I giggled a little, but he didn't seem to notice. 'Yamada was cute, but not as cute as my darling Eriol when he's mad...' I thought amusingly (a/n- is that a word?).
I sat down at the table across from Eriol. "Ya know, I WAS just kidding."
"I thought so. Or at least, I hoped so"
I nodded. "Alright lets get started." I noted Eriols mouth was about to open and added as an after thought, "With the tutoring sessions for school, you pervert"
He shook his head disappointedly, but smiled jokingly and opened the book. "You know, this IS our last session together."
"Yeah. But we'll still see each other"
He smiled happily. "That's right. How about this Saturday night, gorgeous?"
"Okay. Waddya wanna do?"
"I dunno. Just thought we might as well set up a date."
I rolled my eyes. "Okay, how about a movie marathon over here?"
"Can it be a SCARY movie marathon?" he asked. 'She'll get so scared that she'll be latching onto my arm and begging for me to protect her...hehehe...' thought Eriol.
She shrugged. "Sure"
"Alright, now that that's settled, let's get working"
~~~~With Sakura in the Main Room(about 1 hour and 5 minutes into the session)~~~~#$Sakura P.O.V.#$
*ding-dong* I jumped up happily. 'That must be Syaoran!' I bounded over to the door and threw it open. My smile fell. It was a short balding man in a tuxedo carrying a briefcase. 'A salesman? Awww man!'
"Hello there, Miss. Are you tired of trying to cook pancakes, but they turn out burnt and lumpy?"
"No. I cook pancakes fine, and as long as they taste good, I don't care if their lumpy"
"Er.."
"Sorry Mister, but I'm not interested." And with that I angrily shut the door. 'Stupid guy'
*ding-dong*
'Syaoran! It must be him this time!' I opened the door. 'Not again..'
The guy had spiky black hair and his eyes were closed. "Hi there! Are you interested in buying one of our fine bath products?" He held up one finger. "Also, did you know-"
" Takashi Yamazaki?"
His eyes opened a little bit to reveal flecks of brown. 'So THAT'S his eye color! I always wondered what it was'
"Yeah. Hey, aren't you Tomoyo's older sister?"
I nodded. "Yep."
"The one that fixes those really good sweets that Tomoyo usually has with her lunch?"
"That's me"
"Er...sorry, I wouldn'tve come up if I knew this was your house. I wouldn't have wanted to see Tomoyo's wrath when she answered the door."
"Since when are YOU a salesman?"
"I needed to get some money. I'm broke."
"Why do you need the money if you don't mind me asking?"
"I need it so that I can take my girlfriend Chiharu to this restaurant that she really wants to go to. It's really expensive though"
"I see. How much more do you need?"
"About $50"
"How many shampoos and stuff could I get for that?"
He looked up at me suprisedly. "Um...3 shampoos,2 body wash soaps, and 4 lotions"
"Alright. I'll take em'."
He looked up at me happily. "You will? Really?"
"Yep.I don't care what the scent is, as long as it's good"
"O-okay. Thank you so much!!!" he said handing me the 9 things I had just bought.
"Your welcome. Take her out and have a good time. If you weren't doing this for a good cause and you weren't Tomoyo's friend, you'd have had a door slammed in your face by now. After you get the money you need, get a different job"
He nodded. "I will! How about a job as a storyteller?"
"Sounds good. Tomoyo tells me that you tell plenty of stories. Chiharu doesn't seem to like it though. Last time you 2 were over, one of the bowls got dented and ...oh, what WAS her name...Rika, I think, told me that it was her who had used it to smash your head in. You seem to have survived the damage though"
"Barely."
"Well, Good luck!"
"Thank you!" he said again before running off with a smile on his face.
I shook my head nad looked down at the 9 bottles of stuff I'd just bought. I popped off the cap on one of the lotions and sniffed it. 'Hmm..these smell pretty good' I looked at the scent. 'Strawberry-Mango, huh? Smells pretty good.'
*ding-dong* 'Ok, this has GOT to be Syaoran' I opened the door with a great force and it slammed into the wall. I winced a little. 'How embarrassing!'
I looked at who was in front of me and frowned. 'Another one?' A tall man with blonde hair greased back and brownish eyes looked at me and flashed an obvious fake smile showing even white teeth. "Hello there, pretty lady" Great. A lecherous salesman. What a wonderful day I'm having... "Would you like to buy a new vacuum cleaner? It gets every bit of dirt off your carpet and-"
"Um, excuse me,but-"
"Or would you just like me?" he asked smiling flirtatiously.
"That's right. I want you to go away!"I said angrily and slammed the door.
I sighed. 'When are those 2 gonna be done? It's so boring. There's nothing to do!'
*ding-dong*
'Great. Another salesman. I already told 2 of them to go away!'
I opened the door and yelled. "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO GO AWAY YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!! AND IF YOU EVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN I'M GOING TO SMASH YOUR HEAD IN!!!!!!!!!!" I said and closed the door.
*ding-dong* I turned on my heel and re-opened the door. "Look, I thought I told you to-" It was Syaoran with a very amused look on his face. 'Oops...that's not good'
"Uh...was that YOU that was here just a second ago?"
He nodded and I could tell that he was trying not to laugh. "Yep."
"Um...I thought you were a salesman! Sorry!"
"It's ok.."
"Oh, go ahead and laugh! I can tell you want to!"
He burst out laughing and a tear collected in his eye. I glared at him. "Okay, I get the point."
He wiped the tear away and looked up with a huge smile on his face. (A/n- Um, did I mention that this is a VERY OOC (Out-Of-Character, in case u didn't know)fic?) "Alright"
I started walking towards the kitchen and yelled out behind me. "Do you want anything to drink?"
"No thanks!"
I walked back in and saw Syaoran looking at some of the pictures on the mantle. He turned when he saw me. "Sorry, I shouldn'tve been-"
"It's okay." I pointed to the first picture on the mantle that had 3 girls in it. "The woman in the middle is our Aunt Sonomi. Obviously the other 2 are me and Tomoyo"
"She's pretty"
I nodded. "Yeah. The one beside that is me, my best friend, Tomoyo, and her friends, who I assume you already know"
He nodded. "Takashi, Mihara,Sasaki, and Yanagisawa. The lil trouble-makers in the class"
"Really?"
"No, not really, but it's fun to tell their families that they are and see their reactions." He said smiling evilly.
"So evil!"
"I know."
"The picture next to that is my Dad, Mom, Touya, Me, and Tomoyo when we were younger. The little girl with the auburn fuzz on her head is me. The one with the short ponytail is Tomoyo."
"I see. You've told me about your Dad and Touya, and obviously I know about Tomoyo, but I've never heard about your Mom"
"She died when I was 10"
"I'm sorry" He said guiltily.
"It's ok."
"So, what's your Aunt like?"
~~~~Meiling~~~~ #$ Meiling P.O.V.#$
I walked up to Sakura's house and stopped in the middle of the walkway. 'Where are those voices coming from?' I listened more closely and heard it was coming from the main room in the front. I snuck up to the window and peeked in carefully. My eyes widened. 'Syaoran? And Sakura? In the same room talking? Oh, THIS is what I call good entertainment.'
I leaned in to hear what they were talking about.
"Well, she's very kind, but as determined as a mule when it comes to her work."
Who were they talking about?
"She has this weird kind of grudge against my dad because she thinks that he 'stole' my mom from her."
"I see. She sounds like someone I know! It's one of my female cousins"
I narrowed my eyes. 'That better not be ME your talking about in there Syaoran! Grr.'
Sakura laughed. "That's cool. Sonomi doesn't tend to show much of her soft side to most people. She seems like the perfect business woman to people who don't know her well, but she's actually a very kind, sweet, and responsible person. She's also very pretty."
"The last part doesn't sound like the person I know. She sounds like you"
I quirked my eyebrows. 'I'm going to ignore that thing about his female cousin..it's probably not even me...wait a sec, I'm his ONLY female cousin! Oh well, I'll think about that later..this is getting interesting...'
I saw Sakura go bright red. "I'm nothing like her. I already shouted at somebody today that I don't even know.."
"The perverted salesman? I think most women would've done the same thing"
"Maybe. But I'm not that sweet, or responsible, and I'm DEFINITELY not that pretty"
"Aparently, someone thought you were gorgeous, because you ARE a model, after all"
"Well, that's because of make-up"
Syaoran stepped a little closer to her. I raised my eyebrows. 'My, my, they certainly are..stupid..it's obvious they like each other.'
"Are you wearing any right now?"
"Er..no. Why?"
He put his hand on her face. "Your much more beautiful without it. Inside and out. You ARE responsible, you ARE sweet, and you ARE kind." He said leaning towards her.
I leaned in a little closer to the window. 'This is like one of those sappy romance movies! Except it's real and it's my cousin, who is going to get his butt seriously kicked once he gets out of there, and my best friend! Oh this is great! If only I had some popcorn' I thought longingly.
"I-I-I don't think that's t-true.." said Sakura in a whisper.
Their noses were almost touching now. "Oh, but it is.." He said leaning in so that their lips were only about a centimeter away.
'Yes! Just a lil closer...'
Then a voice called from upstairs. "We're done!"
Sakura and Syaoran pulled away with disappointed looks. Tomoyo and Eriol came running downstairs.
'Aha! So Tomoyo's tutor really WAS my cousin! Er, my OTHER cousin...damnit! Those 2 know how to ruin a moment without even knowing it was a moment..wait, that didn't make sense..whatever! I'm gonna kill those 2!'
"C'mon Eriol, we have to go. You still have to finish cleaning your room!"
Tomoyo laughed. "Good luck Eriol!"
"Thanks Tomoyo, I can tell it was from the heart!" He said sarcastically.
"I'll walk you to the car."
"Okay"
I saw them run out to the car. 'Please don't see me, please don't see me!' Fortunately, they were to busy doing something else to notice me. (a/n- just kissing you perverts! Nothing bad!)
I looked back in the window. They were looking at each other in an awkward silence.
"I guess I probably won't see you for a while, huh?"
"Yeah...um, I liked talking to you whenever you came over. It was fun!"
"I thought so too. Um, I guess I'll see ya around, huh?"
"Yeah...um, Syaoran.."
"Yes?"
She reached for a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote something down. "Here. Call me sometime. This is my cell and home numbers."
He took it with a smile on his face. "I will." He grabbed the pad of paper and pencil and handed her what I assumed what his cell and home numbers. "This is my cell and home number. If Eriol answers at home, just say it's a Telemarketer or something so we don't have to go through hell when they tease us about it."
"I see. Tomoyo and Eriol are in some kind of screwed up conspiracy against us or something. They must be!"
"I agree"
"I better get going. Bye Sakura"
"Bye.." She stood on her tip-toes and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll call you" she said smiling.
"Same here"
'Hmm..very interesting. Eriol and Tomoyo in a conspiracy? I wonder if they would mind having a 3rd member..' I walked over to where they were..kissing...and tapped them on the shoulder. They immediately turned around.
Tomoyo blinked looking surprised. "Meiling? Oh no! I forgot to tell Sakura you were coming!"
"Don't worry about it. I'm glad you didn't"
Eriol squeaked. "Meiling?!"
Tomoyo turned to him. "You know each other?"
"She's my cousin!"
Tomoyo blinked. "That would explain a lot. So, why is it good that I didn't tell Sakura you were coming?"
"Because otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to spy on them"
"Really? What'd you see?"
"They almost kissed."
Eriol's mouth dropped and Tomoyo threw her fist into the air. "I knew it!"
"Exactly. I have a plan, but I need your help. You in?"
They looked at each other, back at me, and nodded eagerly. "Okay, here's the plan.."
I quickly explained the plan and made them promise not to tell that I had had any contact with the 2 of them and snuck into a nearby bush right before Sakura and Syaoran walked out.
After Syaoran and Eriol had said goodbye, I casually walked out smiling. "Hi Sakura! Ready to go?"
She nodded. "Yep. I'll be right there, just let me get my purse"
"Okay!" After she left, I turned to Tomoyo. "I'll call you when I get to the theatre to alert you on when to begin Phase 1 of the plan, okay?"
"Right"
"Okay, I'm ready to go!"
"Then lets hit the road!" I said climbing into my Mustang.
"Bye Tomoyo!"
"See ya later!"
"Bye guys!"
~~~~At the Theatre~~~~#$Still Meiling P.O.V.#$
"Sakura, can you go ahead and get the snacks? I'll get the tickets for us!"
"Okay!" said Sakura as she walked off.
"Excellent" I said. I took out my cell and dialed Tomoyo's number.
"Hello?"
"Tomoyo? It's me Meiling"
"Should I proceed with Part A of Phase 1?"
"Yes. I'll take care of Part B over here"
"Gotcha" and we hung up.
"So far, so good.."
~~~~With Tomoyo~~~~#$Tomoyo P.O.V.#$
After I hung up with Meiling, I dialed Eriols number.
"Hello, Eriol speaking."
"Hey Hun!"
"Why, Hello there Dearest"
"Proceed with Part A. of Phase 1"
"Right" and we hung up. I smiled. 'Oh dear,dear, sister of mine, we're about to change your life for the better.' I thought with a smile.
~~~~With Eriol and Syaoran~~~~#$Eriol P.O.V.#$
I walked over and sat down at the table where Syaoran was eating.
"Syaoran, that was Meiling"
He choked on his food and started turning blue. I slapped him on the back and he spit it out.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS MEILING?!!"
"IT WAS MEILING! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK I MEANT?!"
"I DUNNO!!! BUT WHY WAS SHE CALLING?! DOES SHE HAVE ANOTHER EVIL PLAN???!!!!!!!!!!"
*Ring* Syaoran walked over angrily and picked the phone up. "What?!"
"Sir, I'm Officer Yoshida and we've just gotten 3 consecutive calls complaining about the noise you were making"
"Er, sorry, we'll keep it down"
"Alright Sir, Thank you very much"
"Of course"
"What was that all about?" I asked.
"Police were calling to tell us to keep it down"
"Alright. Meiling says you have a date tommorow"
I watched, very amused, as his eyes widened considerably. "With her?! I thought she was over that already!"
"She is."
"Then why does she want us to go on a date?!"
"She wants you to go on a date with someone else. Apparently it's one of her friends that she thinks would be perfect for you."
"No" he said flatly.
"She says to do it or she'll be cooking all your meals and snacks for the next week and eating all your chocolate."
He groaned. "Our cousin is evil!"
"You wanna know who's evil? My girlfriend is evil!"
"Kinomoto-san?"
"No! Tomoyo, I wouldn't date YOUR girlfriend!"
"Sakura is NOT my girlfriend"
"You just wish she was!"
"Exactly! I mean-er,...I mean, no, I don't wish that."
"Too late to deny it now Cuz"
"Shut up."
"I won't tell Sakura-san if you go on this date with Meilings friend"
"Is she like Meiling?"
"Meiling says that she's really pretty and very sweet. She already made reservations at a restaurant for the 2 of you."
"I don't get a choice in this, do I?"
"No."
"Fine. I'll go. But what's this girls name?"
"Meiling says it's gonna be a blind date for both of you. She didn't tell me her name anyways"
"Then I guess I'll have to find out about this girl myself then"
"I guess so" I said smiling to myself.
Syaoran sighed and sat back down to eat. I walked back into my room and dialed Tomoyo's number.
"Hello?"
"Tomoyo?"
"Duh"
"Whatever. Part A of Phase 1 has been accomplished successfully"
"Blackmail is a beautiful thing."
"True. Where'day hear that quote?"
"Meiling"
I sweatdropped. "Of course"
"Speaking of her, I'll call and tell her it's been completed"
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye"
~~~~Movies with Sakura & Meiling~~~~#$Meiling P.O.V.#$
I had made sure that we had gotten to the movies before they started showing previews and they were just showing adds and stuff until then. 'This is working perfectly..'
"Sakura, I want you to do something for me"
"What is it?"
"You see, I have this cousin who I think would be a PERFECT match for you"
"And?" she said, obviously a little unsure of what I was getting at.
"I want you 2 to go on a date tommorow. He's already agreed." I paused for a second. 'at least I HOPE he has. Oh well...' I smiled at Sakura. "I made reservations for you 2 at a restaurant tommorow. You HAVE to go. I promise you'll like him!"
"Well...tell me about him at least"
"He's very cute, polite, and sweet. He's pretty determined though, so he's not like a weakling kind of person at all"
Sakura seemed to be thinking. "Well...I guess I will. What restaurant are we going to?"
"It's a really nice place that serves International dishes called Mariella's"
"I've heard of that before! Have you been?"
"Yeah! Try the NY Ribs or the Spaghetti!"
"Alright! Sounds good. Your making me hungry!"
"Then eat your popcorn"
*Ring*
"Hold on a sec, Sakura"
"Okay"
"Hello?"
"Meiling, it's Tomoyo"
"Oh, Hey"
"HEY YOU! YOU IN THE FRONT WITH THE CELL PHONE!!!! TURN IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled a guy who was a few rows behind us.
"Uh, hold on just a sec"
"What was that Meiling?" asked Tomoyo, sounding a little worried.
"I'll tell you in a sec" I put the phone on hold and stood up and turned to face the guy.
"THE MOVIE HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET!!!!!!!1 AND THEIR JUST SHOWING ADDS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!"
"SO?! I WANTED TO SEE THOSE ADDS!!!!!!!"
"THEY'LL REPLAY THEM!!!!!!!!"
"I WANTED TO SEE THEM NOW!!!"
"IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN YOU ARE ONE SELFISH, POMPOUS, BAS-"
"Meiling!" hissed Sakura as she pulled me down into my seat.
"HA! YOU NEED YOUR FRIEND THERE TO KEEP YOU UNDER CONTROL!!! YOUR LIKE A RABID ANIMAL!!!!"
I saw Sakura get red and twinge at this. She grabbed her purse and started fishing through it. "Uh, Sakura, what are you looking for?"
"My pepper spray"
My eyes widened. 'Maybe I'm starting to rub off on her..I'm so proud!'. "Are you gonna..?"
"You bet I am" she turned back to the guy. "WHY DON'T YOU COME DOWN HERE AND SAY THAT TO HER FACE?!"
The guy grinned stupidly. "SHE'S NOT WORTH MY TIME!!!!!!!"
Sakura was now mad with rage. She got up out of her seat and started towards the guy with pepper spray at her side.
The guys eyebrows quirked. "Forgiven me so quickly, huh?"
Sakura glared and walked up to the guy, who had 3 of his friends sitting near him laughing and she smiled sweetly. "In your dreams, you jackass" she said venomously and sprayed him in his face and all over his shirt, then stopped and laughed, then gave each of his friends a spray in the face as a warning and turned to make her way back to our seats.
"MEILING?! WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE?!"
Oops. Forgot about Tomoyo. I picked the phone back up. "Sorry, I just watched your sister call this guy a jackass and spray pepper spray all over him and his friends."
"Sakura?! She cussed?! I've only heard her do that twice and I'm not sure she even knew what they meant when she said them! It sounds more like something you'd do!"
"I know! I'm starting to rub off! I'm so proud of her! Anyways, is Part A complete?"
"That's what I was calling about. Eriol managed to persuade him to go. Part A of Phase 1 is complete!"
"Good job. Part B has been accomplished over here too!"
"Great! We'll proceed with Phase 2 tommorow, right?"
"Right! And your friend..uh.."
"Naoko?"
"That's right! I can never remember the name of someone I haven't met! You'll have to introduce me sometime."
"Ok"
"So, Naoko works at this restaurant and she can report everything that happens, right?"
"Right"
"Perfect. Oh, Sakura's back. Talk to ya later! Bye!"
"Bye!" and with that I hung up. 'Oh, this is TOO good!' I thought gleefully.
Sakura sat back down. "Well, I feel better!"
"That was genius!"
She pretended to bow. "Why, Thank you!"
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever!"
"So, who was that?"
"Oh, it was the wrong number."
"Okay"she said. "Oh! Look! The movie's starting!"
I shook my head at Sakura's naivety (sp?). This was going to be fun...
~~~~Next day at school~~~~#$Tomoyo P.O.V.#$
I yawned. 'Great, off to another boring day at school. Oh well, at least it's Friday!'
"Tomoyo!" I heard someone yell behind me.
I turned to see Yamazaki running up to me. "There you are! Could you thank your sister for me?"
"Uh...sure, but why are you thanking my sister?"
"She bought enough products to help me get enough money to take Chiharu to that restaurant!"
"That's great Yamazaki! I'll tell her for you!"
"Thanks!"
Just then, Naoko,Rika, and Chiharu came walking up to us. "Morning guys!" said Chiharu walking up and pecking Yamazaki on the cheek.
"Morning! Naoko, tonight, you will be.."
"Waitressing their table non-suspiciously and reporting any good details to you"
"Good. Yamazaki and Chiharu, you will be.."
"Sitting beside them, non-suspiciously, noting all details that they discuss during dinner." Said Chiharu.
"Rika, you will be.."
"With Meiling, disguised as 2 teenage valley girls that follow them wherever they go..almost. We won't follow them to the front door. That'd be too much. They'd think we're stalking them."
"Good. Make sure they don't actually KNOW you're following"
"Right"
"Let's get to class"
They all nodded and walked off talking happily
~~~~Later that night at Syaoran and Eriol's place(about 2 hours before the date)~~~~#$Eriol P.O.V.#$
"Wear this" I said to Syaoran, holding up another outfit
"I'm NOT wearing that!"
"She'll love it!"
"How do you know?"
"Er.."
"That's what I thought. I'll pick my own outfit out, thanks"
"Fine, be that way"
"Ok" said Syaoran walking into his room and closing (and locking) his door.
"That's cold, Syaoran, that's cold!"
"I'm glad you think so!"
I glared at his door. 'I hope he picks out an outfit that looks okay'. I sat down on the couch and started flipping channels for a while. A few minutes later, Syaoran walked out in khaki pants and a dark green dres shirt. "Good choice. I bet she'll like it"
"How would you know?"
"Uh.."
He gave me a sceptical look. "Again, that's what I thought. I'm gonna go take a quick shower and get everything ready, okay?"
I nodded. After Syaoran walked off to take a shower, I called Meiling.
"Hello?"
"It's Eriol. Tell Sakura that he's gonna be wearing a green dress shirt and khakis"
"Gotcha. We're still looking for the perfect outfit for Sakura."
I heard a squealing sound over the phone and the sound of a bunch of people talking.
"Meiling, where are you?"
"The mall" she said a little sheepishly.
"I should've known.." I said sweatdropping.
"Hehe..I think we just found the outfit. Good job with Part A of Phase 2. We'll call you when we get the outfit picked out."
"Okay. See ya. Tell Tomoyo that I-"
"I'll tell her, Loverboy, don't worry about it." I could just see her rolling her eyes right at that moment.
"How did you-?"
"Because that's what you always tell me to tell Tomoyo"
"Hehe."
"Whatever. Bye!" and she hung up.
I sighed and sat down on the couch to wait for the call.
~~~~The mall~~~~#$Rika P.O.V.#$
I looked around to see if I could find a good outfit for Tomoyo's older sister, and I saw it.
I grabbed my soon-to-be fake best friend that was a valley girl, Meiling. "There!" I said excitedly, pointing to the outfit in one of the store windows.
Meiling looked it over. "Perfect! Let's try it! Right, Sakura?"
Silence.
"Sakura?" We looked around and saw Sakura quietly trying to head in a different direction. "I don't think so" we both said, grabbing Sakura's arm and pulling her into the shop.
"Why me?!" she said pitifully. We laughed.
"It's not THAT bad. Here, try this on!" said Chiharu, thrusting the outfit into Sakura's arms.
She sighed and walked into the dressing room. We sat down in the chairs next to the room and waited..and waited...and waited some more.
Finally, Naoko knocked on the door. "Sakura, are you okay in there?"
"I'm not coming out" said Sakura in a muffled voice.
"Oh yes, you are!" said Meiling. She triend to pull the door open but it was locked. "Sakura! Open up!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes! Sakura, I'm coming in!" she raised her foot to kick the door down, but Chiharu stepped in front of her.
"Don't kick it down!"
Meiling put her foot down, looking annoyed. "Why not?"
Chiharu pulled out a small barret from her hair, leaned over amd picked the lock on the door. Meiling watched this with admiration. "I see. You have good taste in friends Tomoyo!"
"Thanks!"
"Good thinking Chiharu!" said Meiling as she happily dragged Sakura out of the dressing room.
"Yeah, good thinking Chiharu" said a pouting Sakura.
"But, you look great Sakura!" I said. She really did. She was wearing a dark blue spaghetti-strap dress that came down to her knees and criss- crossed on her back with light woven khaki heels to match.
"We have found the outfit!" said Tomoyo happily.
Meiling handed me the phone. "Here, I've already gone off to call them to many times. Just tell him you're a friend of Tomoyo's or mine"
I nodded. "Gotcha" and walked off. I flipped open the phone and pressed the redial button.
"Hello?"
"Are you Eriol?"
"Yea ,I am. Who is this?"
"My name is Rika. Tomoyo introduced us that day that we all went to the ice cream parlor"
"That's right! You're the one with the curly hair that's about to your shoulders, right?"
"Right. Meiling asked me to call and tell you that Sakura will be showing up in a dark-blue spaghetti-strap dress."
"Gotcha. Wait a sec, you know about this whole thing too?"
"Yeah. Let me fill you in on the latest plans since Meiling hasn't been able to. As you know, you and Tomoyo will be at home so that we can call and report what's happening."
"Right."
"Naoko works at the restaurant, so she'll be their waitress."
"Okay"
"Chiharu and Yamazaki will get a table next to them dressed as other people so that they won't be recognized."
"I hadn't heard about that one."
"That's what Meiling told us. Me and Meiling will be acting and dressing like valley girls. When they leave the restaurant, we'll follow them to see if they go somewhere else just in case, the only place we won't follow them is to the front door. We wanna give them a LITTLE time to be alone!"
"Good point"
"Meiling also said to tell you not to do anything bad at Tomoyo's house when we're not there."
"I won't! I promise!"
"Good. She said that if you did, you'd be facing a very painful consequence"
"I figured. Well, Phase 2 has been completed."
"Roger. Over and out" I said jokingly, then hang up and walked back over to Meiling and the rest. Sakura had finally (though reluctantly) agreed to buy the dress and shoes. Well, now that Phase 1+2 are complete, we can finally begin our 'evil scheming'.
~~~~Syaoran (about to leave for the date)~~~~#$Syao P.O.V.#$
'Well, I guess I better be going. Eriol is going over to the Kinomotos to see Tomoyo, so I better go to see MY date...I wonder if she's like Sakura' I thought. I shook my head. 'Probably not. Sakura's one of a kind. Oh well...' was my last thought as I walked out the door to meet this 'Mystery Girl'.
~~~~Sakura (about to leave for the date also)~~~~#$Sakura P.O.V.#$
"Have fun Sakura!" said Tomoyo who was waving at me as I walked out.
"I hope so. Bye Tomoyo!" I turned to wave again, but she had already closed the door. I sighed and walked to the car. 'I hope this guy is like Syaoran. I doubt it though. I've never met anyone with Syaoran's charm..or looks...or intelligence...' I shook my head. 'I better get him out of my mind if I want to even TRY to enjoy this date.' I sighed again and started the ignition to drive and go meet this 'Mystery Man'.
~~~~Naoko~~~~#$Naoko P.O.V.#$
"I'll go get your drinks right away!" I said to 'Mr. + Mrs. Hito Suneko' a.k.a Chiharu and Yamazaki. I was surprised at how well they had dress up though. Chiharu now had dark purple hair and blue eyes and was wearing a bright red dress that came almost to her ankles. Yamazaki now had flame-red hair and bright grey-ish eyes and was wearing a light blue shirt with dark brown khakis. They smiled at me evilly.
"Thank you very much, waitress"
"Your welcome" I said, returning the smile. The only thing I had to do was dye my hair, which was now a jet black color.
~~~~Meiling and Rika~~~~#$Rika P.O.V.#$
We had gone all out. This HAD to be the weirdest outfit I had ever worn. I was wearing a bright,bright pink shrit that came a few inches above my belly-button and a short rainbow skirt, along with black heels. When Meiling said she wanted to go all out and look absolutely outrageous so nobody would recognize us, she MEANT outrageous. I now also had blonde hair with pink streaks that was tied back with a blue scrunchie with dark blue eyes.
Meiling was twirling around in her outfit happily. She was wearing a tight denim top with no straps with an orange skirt, with silver heels to top it off. She had dyed her hair a dark blue color and had put it in a loose ponytail. She had put on some orange-ish colored contacts to go along with it.
"Don't we look great?"she asked giggling.
I rolled my eyes. "Like, totally!"
She laughed. "Remember, you have to talk like that all night. They would NEVER suspect us of doing something like this!"
"Obviously. Let's get going, shall we?"
"Like, yeah!"
"Like, ok!"
So, we walked out the door laughing.
~~~~Outside the restaurant with Syaoran~~~~#$Syaoran P.O.V.#$
I checked my watch. 'She should be here in a few minutes. She'll be wearing a dark blue dress.'
~~~~Outside the restaurant with Sakura~~~~#$Sakura P.O.V.#$
I parked the car and got out. I walked towards the entrance where a few people seemed to be waiting. One of them was probably my date. 'Lessee..dark green shirt..' I looked around and there was only one guy wearing a dark green shirt. I smiled and started walking towards him.

Last Session and The Beginning of Evil Match-Making Plans
By: Kalli (Long title,huh?)
~~~@ Beach~~~#$Syaoran P.O.V.#$
I woke up and yawned a little bit. I looked around to see where I was and then I noticed that I had my arms around Sakura. My eyes widened a bit. 'Did we?.....' Then I remembered that we were in a Hotel and the others were on the same floor as us. Then I remembered something else. 'Eriol and Kinomoto-san set this up! Eriol will pay dearly and Kinomoto will be getting a verrrrrrrry long test on Monday morning....' I then gently slipped out of bed so that I didn't wake up Sakura and got dressed. I looked over at her sleeping form. 'She looks so cute when she's sleeping.....and when she's awake for that matter.' I thought to myself smiling.
I checked the clock. '9:05? I haven't slept in that late for a long time! I guess I'll head downstairs to get some breakfast'. I grabbed the key and went downstairs to see what they had to eat.
When I got there I noticed that Sakura's older brother was sitting at one of the tables, but nobody else was there that I knew.
So, I went over and sat down. He looked up and smiled. "Good morning, Li- kun"
"Morning. Syaoran is fine, Kinomoto-san"
"Just Touya, please."
"Ok. So, where is everyone else?"
"Well, I heard your cousin snoring when I came down." We both snorted a little at that. " But Tomoyo is at the pool going for a morning swim and Kaho is with her. Nakuru is going to get the Breakfast for us, and Yukito is sleeping in too I think. Should I go tell Nakuru that you want something too?"
"I'll do it. I'll be right back" I said getting up to go find Nakuru.
After looking around for a little while, I found her ordering something at a Breakfast counter. I tapped her on the shoulder to make sure it was her.
She turned around and smiled. "Morning! Do you want something?"
I nodded. "Touya told me you'd be over here getting their breakfast. I'll have pancakes."
"And an order of Pancakes too, please" she said to the man behind the counter who was taking their order. He nodded and went to fix them.
I fished around in my pocket for my wallet and pulled it out. "How much were the pancakes?"
She held her hand up. "Don't worry about it, it's my treat."
"Isn't Touya paying?"
She nodded. "I don't think he'll mind though."
We walked back over to the table that Touya was sitting at and sat back down.
"Syaoran, where's Sakura? Have you seen her today?"
I nodded. "She's still sleeping."
Nakuru then said what could be some of the most deadly words I had ever heard. "Didn't you guys share a room?"
Touya nearly choked on his coffee and slammed it down on the table."They WHAT?!"
"It wasn't my fault! Eriol and Tomoyo gave us a set of keys and ran off as fast as they could!"
Touya seemed to calm down a little at this. "I'll have to talk to those 2 later."
I mentally sighed in relief. "Me too. To clear a few things up 1- nothing happened. 2- If it makes you feel any better, Eriol and your sister took the room with 2 beds and gave us the last 1 bed room."
He nodded. "At least I have more reassurance that you and Sakura are more mature and less 'in love' than those 2 "
I nodded."After you talk to Eriol, send him to me. He'll be getting a room all to himself.....in the hospital, that is"
Nakuru laughed. "That means you better save some of the poor kid for Li to beat up."
Touya smiled. "I'll do my best."
A few minutes later, our breakfast came and we ate while exchanging small talk. After we were done, we decided to go wake everyone else up so that we could head home.
Touya went to go get Kaho and Tomoyo from the pool, Nakuru went to go get Yukito up, and I was sent to wake up Sakura.
I walked back into the room and saw her on the couch watching TV. She turned around when I came in and smiled. "Good morning!"
I smiled back. "Morning. Sorry, if I had known you were going to wake up while I was gone, I would've left a note."
"Don't worry about it. But where were you?"
"I went down to get some breakfast and ran into Touya and Nakuru. He freaked out when I told him we shared a room. After I told him what happened, he said he's going to have a talk with the 2 schemers that put us in that situation. After he's done with them, I'll tell your sister she's gonna have a test on Monday that will be verrrry hard and Eriol's gonna get a room to himself in the hospital."
She pouted a little. "Was I THAT bad of a roommate?"
I laughed a little. "Not at all! But don't you have at least a small desire to kill them?"
She nodded. "Yeah. After you and Touya are done, Tomoyo can share Eriol's room in the Hospital if that's alright. And do I have your permission to whack Eriol's head?"
I nodded. "As much as you want"
~~~~Later on when their leaving the hotel~~~~#$Normal P.O.V.#$
"Alright, I think that's it" said Touya as he shut the trunk on the car.
"Good. After all that, I'm ready to go home!" said Tomoyo.
"We'll see you guys later" said Eriol as he started walking towards the car.
Syaoran grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him back. "Hold on just a second Mister. It's time for you to pay for tricking me and Sakura like that"
Touya and Sakura(who was dragging Tomoyo{who looked really scared} behind her) came up and glared at Eriol. "Us too"
"N-n-now g-guys, I'm s-s-sure that y-y-you don't really w-wanna h-h-hurt me or a-anything, d-do you?" said Eriol nervously.
Syaoran smiled evilly. "I already promised Touya that he got you 2 schemers 1st. Then it's my turn, then you get to face Sakura's wrath"
He then nodded to Touya, who took Eriol by the ear and Tomoyo by the arm and dragged them off protesting.
"SAKURA! KAHO! NAKURU!!!! YUKITO! HELP US!!!!!!!!" yelled Tomoyo.
Sakura smiled and waved while Kaho and Nakuru laughed and Yukito mouthed 'I'll pray for you'
When Touya brought the 2 of them back, Tomoyo was pale and Eriol was shaking.
Syaoran then smiled evilly at them. "My turn.."
Eriol smiled nervously and laughed a little, then started to try and run off in the other direction. Sakura, however caught him and dragged him screaming back to Syaoran. He smiled at her. "Thank you very much, Sakura. I promise to leave some for you."
She smiled sweetly. "Why Thank you!"
"Your welcome. Come on you 2" He said dragging Eriol, who was trying to stop them by digging his fingernails into the pavement and Tomoyo who was looking at the sky with a sorrowful look.
When they came back, it was Sakura's turn. She walked up to them and they got on their knees. "We won't do it again! We promise!" they said.
She smiled at them. "Good! Now stand up." They stood up and Sakura whacked Tomoyo on the side of her head and then whacked Eriol.
"Owie! That hurt!" He said looking at her like a sad puppy.
Then Touya came up. "Do anything like that again and you die!" then he whacked Eriol on the back of his head. Then Syaoran whacked Eriol on the back of his head. Then Nakuru whacked Eriol on the back of his head.
"Ouch! Nakuru! What was that for?"
She shrugged and smiled sheepishly. "It looked like fun!"
He glared at her. "It's not"
Tomoyo snorted. "To you it's not."
"Shut up!"
"Make me!"
"YOU didn't just get WHACKED ON THE HEAD 4 times!"
"It probably knocked some better sense into you!"
"Wanna borrow some of it? Sounds like you could USE some!"
"I love you!"
"Oh yeah?! Oh, wait a sec..that's a good thing...I love you too!"
Kaho then walked in from getting a drink of water. "Um..did I miss something here?"
They all nodded. "Yep"
She blinked a few times. "Alrighty then...I'm just gonna go..yeah.." And with that, she walked back inside the Hotel.
Everyone laughed at her reaction and finished packing their stuff.
"Oh no!" yelled Tomoyo.
"What?"
"I forgot to get my swimsuit out of the room!"
"Let's go back and get it" said Eriol as he walked back into the Hotel with Tomoyo at his side.
"I'll go get Kaho and tell her it's time to go." Said Yukito.
"I'll go with you, I need to ask her something" said Nakuru, who was already walking into the building.
"I'm gonna go get some water"said Touya.
And that left S+S alone. They looked at each other for a second and then turned away blushing. Then Sakura spoke. "Well, that was a fun trip"
"Yeah, it was.."
*Akward silence*
"Well, I guess we should be going now, huh?" said Syaoran when he saw Eriol and Tomoyo walking towards the door laughing.
Sakura looked where he glanced at and nodded. "Yeah, I guess so."
She walked up to him quickly and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see ya later, Syaoran!" and then ran off.
He blushed and touched his cheek where she had kissed him. Then Eriol came up behind him. "Hey man, ready to go?"
Syaoran just nodded, got in the car, and took off.
~~~~Last tutoring session with E+T~~~~#$Tomoyo P.O.V#$
I sighed and checked the clock. '4:48...the same time as it had been at the Ice cream parlor that time. The same day Eriol had asked me out.'
*Ring* I jumped a little when the phone rang.
But I jumped up to answer it."Hello?"
"Tomoyo? Hi! It's Meiling!"
"Hey! Calling for Sakura?"
"Yeah, but could you just give her a message for me?"
"Sure!"
"Okay. Tell her that I'm gonna be coming over in about 1 1/2 hours, okay?"
"Alright, I'll tell her."
"By the way, I hear your dating somebody now. Who's the lucky guy?"
I blushed a little. "Hiirigizawa Eriol."
"And he would be?"
"He's the guy that was tutoring me. We're having the last session today!"
"But you guys are still gonna date, right?"
"Yeah! I might need more help later on too, so I'll still have a person to tutor me!"
"Cool! Well, I gotta go get ready. See ya later! Bye!"
"Bye!" I said as I hung up.
~~~~On the other end with Meiling~~~~#$Meiling P.O.V.#$
After I hung up with Tomoyo, I realized something. 'Eriol? Hiirigizawa? Oh.My.God. That's my cousin! Syaoran MUST be her teacher this year. There's no other way!'
~~~~Back with Tomoyo~~~~#$Tomoyo P.O.V.#$
I checked the clock again. 'Just 3 more minutes' I was already sitting down at the table waiting for him to come'. I sighed for what I figured was the 10th time that day.
*ding-dong*
I jumped up and ran downstairs and flung open the door to find a smiling Eriol.
"Just couldn't wait to see me again, could you Tomoyo?" he said smirking.
I smirked back. "I'll sick Sakura on you if you keep that up, Darling!" I said sweetly.
He paled a little and gulped."Uh, no, that's REALLY okay!"
I smiled at him, making sure he could see the hint of a smirk on my face. 'He's been pretty scared of Sakura ever since that beach trip. Gee, I wonder why.' I stifled a laugh on the outside, but was laughing maniacally (a/n- I don't think I spelled that right...if anyone knows how it's spelled, please tell me in your review! Thank u! ^.^)on the inside.
"C'mon, let's get started" I said leading Eriol up the stairs.
He wiggled his eyebrows. "Have something different in mind for this session, don't ya?"
I turned and glared at him. "You know, I think that Yamada guy could do a better job at this than you!" (a/n- the blonde guy she flirted with. Refer to last chapter if you don't get that)
He glared and grabbed my hand and started dragging me up the stairs muttering something about 'must kill that stupid pimp-wannabe'.
I giggled a little, but he didn't seem to notice. 'Yamada was cute, but not as cute as my darling Eriol when he's mad...' I thought amusingly (a/n- is that a word?).
I sat down at the table across from Eriol. "Ya know, I WAS just kidding."
"I thought so. Or at least, I hoped so"
I nodded. "Alright lets get started." I noted Eriols mouth was about to open and added as an after thought, "With the tutoring sessions for school, you pervert"
He shook his head disappointedly, but smiled jokingly and opened the book. "You know, this IS our last session together."
"Yeah. But we'll still see each other"
He smiled happily. "That's right. How about this Saturday night, gorgeous?"
"Okay. Waddya wanna do?"
"I dunno. Just thought we might as well set up a date."
I rolled my eyes. "Okay, how about a movie marathon over here?"
"Can it be a SCARY movie marathon?" he asked. 'She'll get so scared that she'll be latching onto my arm and begging for me to protect her...hehehe...' thought Eriol.
She shrugged. "Sure"
"Alright, now that that's settled, let's get working"
~~~~With Sakura in the Main Room(about 1 hour and 5 minutes into the session)~~~~#$Sakura P.O.V.#$
*ding-dong* I jumped up happily. 'That must be Syaoran!' I bounded over to the door and threw it open. My smile fell. It was a short balding man in a tuxedo carrying a briefcase. 'A salesman? Awww man!'
"Hello there, Miss. Are you tired of trying to cook pancakes, but they turn out burnt and lumpy?"
"No. I cook pancakes fine, and as long as they taste good, I don't care if their lumpy"
"Er.."
"Sorry Mister, but I'm not interested." And with that I angrily shut the door. 'Stupid guy'
*ding-dong*
'Syaoran! It must be him this time!' I opened the door. 'Not again..'
The guy had spiky black hair and his eyes were closed. "Hi there! Are you interested in buying one of our fine bath products?" He held up one finger. "Also, did you know-"
" Takashi Yamazaki?"
His eyes opened a little bit to reveal flecks of brown. 'So THAT'S his eye color! I always wondered what it was'
"Yeah. Hey, aren't you Tomoyo's older sister?"
I nodded. "Yep."
"The one that fixes those really good sweets that Tomoyo usually has with her lunch?"
"That's me"
"Er...sorry, I wouldn'tve come up if I knew this was your house. I wouldn't have wanted to see Tomoyo's wrath when she answered the door."
"Since when are YOU a salesman?"
"I needed to get some money. I'm broke."
"Why do you need the money if you don't mind me asking?"
"I need it so that I can take my girlfriend Chiharu to this restaurant that she really wants to go to. It's really expensive though"
"I see. How much more do you need?"
"About $50"
"How many shampoos and stuff could I get for that?"
He looked up at me suprisedly. "Um...3 shampoos,2 body wash soaps, and 4 lotions"
"Alright. I'll take em'."
He looked up at me happily. "You will? Really?"
"Yep.I don't care what the scent is, as long as it's good"
"O-okay. Thank you so much!!!" he said handing me the 9 things I had just bought.
"Your welcome. Take her out and have a good time. If you weren't doing this for a good cause and you weren't Tomoyo's friend, you'd have had a door slammed in your face by now. After you get the money you need, get a different job"
He nodded. "I will! How about a job as a storyteller?"
"Sounds good. Tomoyo tells me that you tell plenty of stories. Chiharu doesn't seem to like it though. Last time you 2 were over, one of the bowls got dented and ...oh, what WAS her name...Rika, I think, told me that it was her who had used it to smash your head in. You seem to have survived the damage though"
"Barely."
"Well, Good luck!"
"Thank you!" he said again before running off with a smile on his face.
I shook my head nad looked down at the 9 bottles of stuff I'd just bought. I popped off the cap on one of the lotions and sniffed it. 'Hmm..these smell pretty good' I looked at the scent. 'Strawberry-Mango, huh? Smells pretty good.'
*ding-dong* 'Ok, this has GOT to be Syaoran' I opened the door with a great force and it slammed into the wall. I winced a little. 'How embarrassing!'
I looked at who was in front of me and frowned. 'Another one?' A tall man with blonde hair greased back and brownish eyes looked at me and flashed an obvious fake smile showing even white teeth. "Hello there, pretty lady" Great. A lecherous salesman. What a wonderful day I'm having... "Would you like to buy a new vacuum cleaner? It gets every bit of dirt off your carpet and-"
"Um, excuse me,but-"
"Or would you just like me?" he asked smiling flirtatiously.
"That's right. I want you to go away!"I said angrily and slammed the door.
I sighed. 'When are those 2 gonna be done? It's so boring. There's nothing to do!'
*ding-dong*
'Great. Another salesman. I already told 2 of them to go away!'
I opened the door and yelled. "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO GO AWAY YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!! AND IF YOU EVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN I'M GOING TO SMASH YOUR HEAD IN!!!!!!!!!!" I said and closed the door.
*ding-dong* I turned on my heel and re-opened the door. "Look, I thought I told you to-" It was Syaoran with a very amused look on his face. 'Oops...that's not good'
"Uh...was that YOU that was here just a second ago?"
He nodded and I could tell that he was trying not to laugh. "Yep."
"Um...I thought you were a salesman! Sorry!"
"It's ok.."
"Oh, go ahead and laugh! I can tell you want to!"
He burst out laughing and a tear collected in his eye. I glared at him. "Okay, I get the point."
He wiped the tear away and looked up with a huge smile on his face. (A/n- Um, did I mention that this is a VERY OOC (Out-Of-Character, in case u didn't know)fic?) "Alright"
I started walking towards the kitchen and yelled out behind me. "Do you want anything to drink?"
"No thanks!"
I walked back in and saw Syaoran looking at some of the pictures on the mantle. He turned when he saw me. "Sorry, I shouldn'tve been-"
"It's okay." I pointed to the first picture on the mantle that had 3 girls in it. "The woman in the middle is our Aunt Sonomi. Obviously the other 2 are me and Tomoyo"
"She's pretty"
I nodded. "Yeah. The one beside that is me, my best friend, Tomoyo, and her friends, who I assume you already know"
He nodded. "Takashi, Mihara,Sasaki, and Yanagisawa. The lil trouble-makers in the class"
"Really?"
"No, not really, but it's fun to tell their families that they are and see their reactions." He said smiling evilly.
"So evil!"
"I know."
"The picture next to that is my Dad, Mom, Touya, Me, and Tomoyo when we were younger. The little girl with the auburn fuzz on her head is me. The one with the short ponytail is Tomoyo."
"I see. You've told me about your Dad and Touya, and obviously I know about Tomoyo, but I've never heard about your Mom"
"She died when I was 10"
"I'm sorry" He said guiltily.
"It's ok."
"So, what's your Aunt like?"
~~~~Meiling~~~~ #$ Meiling P.O.V.#$
I walked up to Sakura's house and stopped in the middle of the walkway. 'Where are those voices coming from?' I listened more closely and heard it was coming from the main room in the front. I snuck up to the window and peeked in carefully. My eyes widened. 'Syaoran? And Sakura? In the same room talking? Oh, THIS is what I call good entertainment.'
I leaned in to hear what they were talking about.
"Well, she's very kind, but as determined as a mule when it comes to her work."
Who were they talking about?
"She has this weird kind of grudge against my dad because she thinks that he 'stole' my mom from her."
"I see. She sounds like someone I know! It's one of my female cousins"
I narrowed my eyes. 'That better not be ME your talking about in there Syaoran! Grr.'
Sakura laughed. "That's cool. Sonomi doesn't tend to show much of her soft side to most people. She seems like the perfect business woman to people who don't know her well, but she's actually a very kind, sweet, and responsible person. She's also very pretty."
"The last part doesn't sound like the person I know. She sounds like you"
I quirked my eyebrows. 'I'm going to ignore that thing about his female cousin..it's probably not even me...wait a sec, I'm his ONLY female cousin! Oh well, I'll think about that later..this is getting interesting...'
I saw Sakura go bright red. "I'm nothing like her. I already shouted at somebody today that I don't even know.."
"The perverted salesman? I think most women would've done the same thing"
"Maybe. But I'm not that sweet, or responsible, and I'm DEFINITELY not that pretty"
"Aparently, someone thought you were gorgeous, because you ARE a model, after all"
"Well, that's because of make-up"
Syaoran stepped a little closer to her. I raised my eyebrows. 'My, my, they certainly are..stupid..it's obvious they like each other.'
"Are you wearing any right now?"
"Er..no. Why?"
He put his hand on her face. "Your much more beautiful without it. Inside and out. You ARE responsible, you ARE sweet, and you ARE kind." He said leaning towards her.
I leaned in a little closer to the window. 'This is like one of those sappy romance movies! Except it's real and it's my cousin, who is going to get his butt seriously kicked once he gets out of there, and my best friend! Oh this is great! If only I had some popcorn' I thought longingly.
"I-I-I don't think that's t-true.." said Sakura in a whisper.
Their noses were almost touching now. "Oh, but it is.." He said leaning in so that their lips were only about a centimeter away.
'Yes! Just a lil closer...'
Then a voice called from upstairs. "We're done!"
Sakura and Syaoran pulled away with disappointed looks. Tomoyo and Eriol came running downstairs.
'Aha! So Tomoyo's tutor really WAS my cousin! Er, my OTHER cousin...damnit! Those 2 know how to ruin a moment without even knowing it was a moment..wait, that didn't make sense..whatever! I'm gonna kill those 2!'
"C'mon Eriol, we have to go. You still have to finish cleaning your room!"
Tomoyo laughed. "Good luck Eriol!"
"Thanks Tomoyo, I can tell it was from the heart!" He said sarcastically.
"I'll walk you to the car."
"Okay"
I saw them run out to the car. 'Please don't see me, please don't see me!' Fortunately, they were to busy doing something else to notice me. (a/n- just kissing you perverts! Nothing bad!)
I looked back in the window. They were looking at each other in an awkward silence.
"I guess I probably won't see you for a while, huh?"
"Yeah...um, I liked talking to you whenever you came over. It was fun!"
"I thought so too. Um, I guess I'll see ya around, huh?"
"Yeah...um, Syaoran.."
"Yes?"
She reached for a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote something down. "Here. Call me sometime. This is my cell and home numbers."
He took it with a smile on his face. "I will." He grabbed the pad of paper and pencil and handed her what I assumed what his cell and home numbers. "This is my cell and home number. If Eriol answers at home, just say it's a Telemarketer or something so we don't have to go through hell when they tease us about it."
"I see. Tomoyo and Eriol are in some kind of screwed up conspiracy against us or something. They must be!"
"I agree"
"I better get going. Bye Sakura"
"Bye.." She stood on her tip-toes and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll call you" she said smiling.
"Same here"
'Hmm..very interesting. Eriol and Tomoyo in a conspiracy? I wonder if they would mind having a 3rd member..' I walked over to where they were..kissing...and tapped them on the shoulder. They immediately turned around.
Tomoyo blinked looking surprised. "Meiling? Oh no! I forgot to tell Sakura you were coming!"
"Don't worry about it. I'm glad you didn't"
Eriol squeaked. "Meiling?!"
Tomoyo turned to him. "You know each other?"
"She's my cousin!"
Tomoyo blinked. "That would explain a lot. So, why is it good that I didn't tell Sakura you were coming?"
"Because otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to spy on them"
"Really? What'd you see?"
"They almost kissed."
Eriol's mouth dropped and Tomoyo threw her fist into the air. "I knew it!"
"Exactly. I have a plan, but I need your help. You in?"
They looked at each other, back at me, and nodded eagerly. "Okay, here's the plan.."
I quickly explained the plan and made them promise not to tell that I had had any contact with the 2 of them and snuck into a nearby bush right before Sakura and Syaoran walked out.
After Syaoran and Eriol had said goodbye, I casually walked out smiling. "Hi Sakura! Ready to go?"
She nodded. "Yep. I'll be right there, just let me get my purse"
"Okay!" After she left, I turned to Tomoyo. "I'll call you when I get to the theatre to alert you on when to begin Phase 1 of the plan, okay?"
"Right"
"Okay, I'm ready to go!"
"Then lets hit the road!" I said climbing into my Mustang.
"Bye Tomoyo!"
"See ya later!"
"Bye guys!"
~~~~At the Theatre~~~~#$Still Meiling P.O.V.#$
"Sakura, can you go ahead and get the snacks? I'll get the tickets for us!"
"Okay!" said Sakura as she walked off.
"Excellent" I said. I took out my cell and dialed Tomoyo's number.
"Hello?"
"Tomoyo? It's me Meiling"
"Should I proceed with Part A of Phase 1?"
"Yes. I'll take care of Part B over here"
"Gotcha" and we hung up.
"So far, so good.."
~~~~With Tomoyo~~~~#$Tomoyo P.O.V.#$
After I hung up with Meiling, I dialed Eriols number.
"Hello, Eriol speaking."
"Hey Hun!"
"Why, Hello there Dearest"
"Proceed with Part A. of Phase 1"
"Right" and we hung up. I smiled. 'Oh dear,dear, sister of mine, we're about to change your life for the better.' I thought with a smile.
~~~~With Eriol and Syaoran~~~~#$Eriol P.O.V.#$
I walked over and sat down at the table where Syaoran was eating.
"Syaoran, that was Meiling"
He choked on his food and started turning blue. I slapped him on the back and he spit it out.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS MEILING?!!"
"IT WAS MEILING! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK I MEANT?!"
"I DUNNO!!! BUT WHY WAS SHE CALLING?! DOES SHE HAVE ANOTHER EVIL PLAN???!!!!!!!!!!"
*Ring* Syaoran walked over angrily and picked the phone up. "What?!"
"Sir, I'm Officer Yoshida and we've just gotten 3 consecutive calls complaining about the noise you were making"
"Er, sorry, we'll keep it down"
"Alright Sir, Thank you very much"
"Of course"
"What was that all about?" I asked.
"Police were calling to tell us to keep it down"
"Alright. Meiling says you have a date tommorow"
I watched, very amused, as his eyes widened considerably. "With her?! I thought she was over that already!"
"She is."
"Then why does she want us to go on a date?!"
"She wants you to go on a date with someone else. Apparently it's one of her friends that she thinks would be perfect for you."
"No" he said flatly.
"She says to do it or she'll be cooking all your meals and snacks for the next week and eating all your chocolate."
He groaned. "Our cousin is evil!"
"You wanna know who's evil? My girlfriend is evil!"
"Kinomoto-san?"
"No! Tomoyo, I wouldn't date YOUR girlfriend!"
"Sakura is NOT my girlfriend"
"You just wish she was!"
"Exactly! I mean-er,...I mean, no, I don't wish that."
"Too late to deny it now Cuz"
"Shut up."
"I won't tell Sakura-san if you go on this date with Meilings friend"
"Is she like Meiling?"
"Meiling says that she's really pretty and very sweet. She already made reservations at a restaurant for the 2 of you."
"I don't get a choice in this, do I?"
"No."
"Fine. I'll go. But what's this girls name?"
"Meiling says it's gonna be a blind date for both of you. She didn't tell me her name anyways"
"Then I guess I'll have to find out about this girl myself then"
"I guess so" I said smiling to myself.
Syaoran sighed and sat back down to eat. I walked back into my room and dialed Tomoyo's number.
"Hello?"
"Tomoyo?"
"Duh"
"Whatever. Part A of Phase 1 has been accomplished successfully"
"Blackmail is a beautiful thing."
"True. Where'day hear that quote?"
"Meiling"
I sweatdropped. "Of course"
"Speaking of her, I'll call and tell her it's been completed"
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye"
~~~~Movies with Sakura & Meiling~~~~#$Meiling P.O.V.#$
I had made sure that we had gotten to the movies before they started showing previews and they were just showing adds and stuff until then. 'This is working perfectly..'
"Sakura, I want you to do something for me"
"What is it?"
"You see, I have this cousin who I think would be a PERFECT match for you"
"And?" she said, obviously a little unsure of what I was getting at.
"I want you 2 to go on a date tommorow. He's already agreed." I paused for a second. 'at least I HOPE he has. Oh well...' I smiled at Sakura. "I made reservations for you 2 at a restaurant tommorow. You HAVE to go. I promise you'll like him!"
"Well...tell me about him at least"
"He's very cute, polite, and sweet. He's pretty determined though, so he's not like a weakling kind of person at all"
Sakura seemed to be thinking. "Well...I guess I will. What restaurant are we going to?"
"It's a really nice place that serves International dishes called Mariella's"
"I've heard of that before! Have you been?"
"Yeah! Try the NY Ribs or the Spaghetti!"
"Alright! Sounds good. Your making me hungry!"
"Then eat your popcorn"
*Ring*
"Hold on a sec, Sakura"
"Okay"
"Hello?"
"Meiling, it's Tomoyo"
"Oh, Hey"
"HEY YOU! YOU IN THE FRONT WITH THE CELL PHONE!!!! TURN IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled a guy who was a few rows behind us.
"Uh, hold on just a sec"
"What was that Meiling?" asked Tomoyo, sounding a little worried.
"I'll tell you in a sec" I put the phone on hold and stood up and turned to face the guy.
"THE MOVIE HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET!!!!!!!1 AND THEIR JUST SHOWING ADDS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!"
"SO?! I WANTED TO SEE THOSE ADDS!!!!!!!"
"THEY'LL REPLAY THEM!!!!!!!!"
"I WANTED TO SEE THEM NOW!!!"
"IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN YOU ARE ONE SELFISH, POMPOUS, BAS-"
"Meiling!" hissed Sakura as she pulled me down into my seat.
"HA! YOU NEED YOUR FRIEND THERE TO KEEP YOU UNDER CONTROL!!! YOUR LIKE A RABID ANIMAL!!!!"
I saw Sakura get red and twinge at this. She grabbed her purse and started fishing through it. "Uh, Sakura, what are you looking for?"
"My pepper spray"
My eyes widened. 'Maybe I'm starting to rub off on her..I'm so proud!'. "Are you gonna..?"
"You bet I am" she turned back to the guy. "WHY DON'T YOU COME DOWN HERE AND SAY THAT TO HER FACE?!"
The guy grinned stupidly. "SHE'S NOT WORTH MY TIME!!!!!!!"
Sakura was now mad with rage. She got up out of her seat and started towards the guy with pepper spray at her side.
The guys eyebrows quirked. "Forgiven me so quickly, huh?"
Sakura glared and walked up to the guy, who had 3 of his friends sitting near him laughing and she smiled sweetly. "In your dreams, you jackass" she said venomously and sprayed him in his face and all over his shirt, then stopped and laughed, then gave each of his friends a spray in the face as a warning and turned to make her way back to our seats.
"MEILING?! WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE?!"
Oops. Forgot about Tomoyo. I picked the phone back up. "Sorry, I just watched your sister call this guy a jackass and spray pepper spray all over him and his friends."
"Sakura?! She cussed?! I've only heard her do that twice and I'm not sure she even knew what they meant when she said them! It sounds more like something you'd do!"
"I know! I'm starting to rub off! I'm so proud of her! Anyways, is Part A complete?"
"That's what I was calling about. Eriol managed to persuade him to go. Part A of Phase 1 is complete!"
"Good job. Part B has been accomplished over here too!"
"Great! We'll proceed with Phase 2 tommorow, right?"
"Right! And your friend..uh.."
"Naoko?"
"That's right! I can never remember the name of someone I haven't met! You'll have to introduce me sometime."
"Ok"
"So, Naoko works at this restaurant and she can report everything that happens, right?"
"Right"
"Perfect. Oh, Sakura's back. Talk to ya later! Bye!"
"Bye!" and with that I hung up. 'Oh, this is TOO good!' I thought gleefully.
Sakura sat back down. "Well, I feel better!"
"That was genius!"
She pretended to bow. "Why, Thank you!"
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever!"
"So, who was that?"
"Oh, it was the wrong number."
"Okay"she said. "Oh! Look! The movie's starting!"
I shook my head at Sakura's naivety (sp?). This was going to be fun...
~~~~Next day at school~~~~#$Tomoyo P.O.V.#$
I yawned. 'Great, off to another boring day at school. Oh well, at least it's Friday!'
"Tomoyo!" I heard someone yell behind me.
I turned to see Yamazaki running up to me. "There you are! Could you thank your sister for me?"
"Uh...sure, but why are you thanking my sister?"
"She bought enough products to help me get enough money to take Chiharu to that restaurant!"
"That's great Yamazaki! I'll tell her for you!"
"Thanks!"
Just then, Naoko,Rika, and Chiharu came walking up to us. "Morning guys!" said Chiharu walking up and pecking Yamazaki on the cheek.
"Morning! Naoko, tonight, you will be.."
"Waitressing their table non-suspiciously and reporting any good details to you"
"Good. Yamazaki and Chiharu, you will be.."
"Sitting beside them, non-suspiciously, noting all details that they discuss during dinner." Said Chiharu.
"Rika, you will be.."
"With Meiling, disguised as 2 teenage valley girls that follow them wherever they go..almost. We won't follow them to the front door. That'd be too much. They'd think we're stalking them."
"Good. Make sure they don't actually KNOW you're following"
"Right"
"Let's get to class"
They all nodded and walked off talking happily
~~~~Later that night at Syaoran and Eriol's place(about 2 hours before the date)~~~~#$Eriol P.O.V.#$
"Wear this" I said to Syaoran, holding up another outfit
"I'm NOT wearing that!"
"She'll love it!"
"How do you know?"
"Er.."
"That's what I thought. I'll pick my own outfit out, thanks"
"Fine, be that way"
"Ok" said Syaoran walking into his room and closing (and locking) his door.
"That's cold, Syaoran, that's cold!"
"I'm glad you think so!"
I glared at his door. 'I hope he picks out an outfit that looks okay'. I sat down on the couch and started flipping channels for a while. A few minutes later, Syaoran walked out in khaki pants and a dark green dres shirt. "Good choice. I bet she'll like it"
"How would you know?"
"Uh.."
He gave me a sceptical look. "Again, that's what I thought. I'm gonna go take a quick shower and get everything ready, okay?"
I nodded. After Syaoran walked off to take a shower, I called Meiling.
"Hello?"
"It's Eriol. Tell Sakura that he's gonna be wearing a green dress shirt and khakis"
"Gotcha. We're still looking for the perfect outfit for Sakura."
I heard a squealing sound over the phone and the sound of a bunch of people talking.
"Meiling, where are you?"
"The mall" she said a little sheepishly.
"I should've known.." I said sweatdropping.
"Hehe..I think we just found the outfit. Good job with Part A of Phase 2. We'll call you when we get the outfit picked out."
"Okay. See ya. Tell Tomoyo that I-"
"I'll tell her, Loverboy, don't worry about it." I could just see her rolling her eyes right at that moment.
"How did you-?"
"Because that's what you always tell me to tell Tomoyo"
"Hehe."
"Whatever. Bye!" and she hung up.
I sighed and sat down on the couch to wait for the call.
~~~~The mall~~~~#$Rika P.O.V.#$
I looked around to see if I could find a good outfit for Tomoyo's older sister, and I saw it.
I grabbed my soon-to-be fake best friend that was a valley girl, Meiling. "There!" I said excitedly, pointing to the outfit in one of the store windows.
Meiling looked it over. "Perfect! Let's try it! Right, Sakura?"
Silence.
"Sakura?" We looked around and saw Sakura quietly trying to head in a different direction. "I don't think so" we both said, grabbing Sakura's arm and pulling her into the shop.
"Why me?!" she said pitifully. We laughed.
"It's not THAT bad. Here, try this on!" said Chiharu, thrusting the outfit into Sakura's arms.
She sighed and walked into the dressing room. We sat down in the chairs next to the room and waited..and waited...and waited some more.
Finally, Naoko knocked on the door. "Sakura, are you okay in there?"
"I'm not coming out" said Sakura in a muffled voice.
"Oh yes, you are!" said Meiling. She triend to pull the door open but it was locked. "Sakura! Open up!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes! Sakura, I'm coming in!" she raised her foot to kick the door down, but Chiharu stepped in front of her.
"Don't kick it down!"
Meiling put her foot down, looking annoyed. "Why not?"
Chiharu pulled out a small barret from her hair, leaned over amd picked the lock on the door. Meiling watched this with admiration. "I see. You have good taste in friends Tomoyo!"
"Thanks!"
"Good thinking Chiharu!" said Meiling as she happily dragged Sakura out of the dressing room.
"Yeah, good thinking Chiharu" said a pouting Sakura.
"But, you look great Sakura!" I said. She really did. She was wearing a dark blue spaghetti-strap dress that came down to her knees and criss- crossed on her back with light woven khaki heels to match.
"We have found the outfit!" said Tomoyo happily.
Meiling handed me the phone. "Here, I've already gone off to call them to many times. Just tell him you're a friend of Tomoyo's or mine"
I nodded. "Gotcha" and walked off. I flipped open the phone and pressed the redial button.
"Hello?"
"Are you Eriol?"
"Yea ,I am. Who is this?"
"My name is Rika. Tomoyo introduced us that day that we all went to the ice cream parlor"
"That's right! You're the one with the curly hair that's about to your shoulders, right?"
"Right. Meiling asked me to call and tell you that Sakura will be showing up in a dark-blue spaghetti-strap dress."
"Gotcha. Wait a sec, you know about this whole thing too?"
"Yeah. Let me fill you in on the latest plans since Meiling hasn't been able to. As you know, you and Tomoyo will be at home so that we can call and report what's happening."
"Right."
"Naoko works at the restaurant, so she'll be their waitress."
"Okay"
"Chiharu and Yamazaki will get a table next to them dressed as other people so that they won't be recognized."
"I hadn't heard about that one."
"That's what Meiling told us. Me and Meiling will be acting and dressing like valley girls. When they leave the restaurant, we'll follow them to see if they go somewhere else just in case, the only place we won't follow them is to the front door. We wanna give them a LITTLE time to be alone!"
"Good point"
"Meiling also said to tell you not to do anything bad at Tomoyo's house when we're not there."
"I won't! I promise!"
"Good. She said that if you did, you'd be facing a very painful consequence"
"I figured. Well, Phase 2 has been completed."
"Roger. Over and out" I said jokingly, then hang up and walked back over to Meiling and the rest. Sakura had finally (though reluctantly) agreed to buy the dress and shoes. Well, now that Phase 1+2 are complete, we can finally begin our 'evil scheming'.
~~~~Syaoran (about to leave for the date)~~~~#$Syao P.O.V.#$
'Well, I guess I better be going. Eriol is going over to the Kinomotos to see Tomoyo, so I better go to see MY date...I wonder if she's like Sakura' I thought. I shook my head. 'Probably not. Sakura's one of a kind. Oh well...' was my last thought as I walked out the door to meet this 'Mystery Girl'.
~~~~Sakura (about to leave for the date also)~~~~#$Sakura P.O.V.#$
"Have fun Sakura!" said Tomoyo who was waving at me as I walked out.
"I hope so. Bye Tomoyo!" I turned to wave again, but she had already closed the door. I sighed and walked to the car. 'I hope this guy is like Syaoran. I doubt it though. I've never met anyone with Syaoran's charm..or looks...or intelligence...' I shook my head. 'I better get him out of my mind if I want to even TRY to enjoy this date.' I sighed again and started the ignition to drive and go meet this 'Mystery Man'.
~~~~Naoko~~~~#$Naoko P.O.V.#$
"I'll go get your drinks right away!" I said to 'Mr. + Mrs. Hito Suneko' a.k.a Chiharu and Yamazaki. I was surprised at how well they had dress up though. Chiharu now had dark purple hair and blue eyes and was wearing a bright red dress that came almost to her ankles. Yamazaki now had flame-red hair and bright grey-ish eyes and was wearing a light blue shirt with dark brown khakis. They smiled at me evilly.
"Thank you very much, waitress"
"Your welcome" I said, returning the smile. The only thing I had to do was dye my hair, which was now a jet black color.
~~~~Meiling and Rika~~~~#$Rika P.O.V.#$
We had gone all out. This HAD to be the weirdest outfit I had ever worn. I was wearing a bright,bright pink shrit that came a few inches above my belly-button and a short rainbow skirt, along with black heels. When Meiling said she wanted to go all out and look absolutely outrageous so nobody would recognize us, she MEANT outrageous. I now also had blonde hair with pink streaks that was tied back with a blue scrunchie with dark blue eyes.
Meiling was twirling around in her outfit happily. She was wearing a tight denim top with no straps with an orange skirt, with silver heels to top it off. She had dyed her hair a dark blue color and had put it in a loose ponytail. She had put on some orange-ish colored contacts to go along with it.
"Don't we look great?"she asked giggling.
I rolled my eyes. "Like, totally!"
She laughed. "Remember, you have to talk like that all night. They would NEVER suspect us of doing something like this!"
"Obviously. Let's get going, shall we?"
"Like, yeah!"
"Like, ok!"
So, we walked out the door laughing.
~~~~Outside the restaurant with Syaoran~~~~#$Syaoran P.O.V.#$
I checked my watch. 'She should be here in a few minutes. She'll be wearing a dark blue dress.'
~~~~Outside the restaurant with Sakura~~~~#$Sakura P.O.V.#$
I parked the car and got out. I walked towards the entrance where a few people seemed to be waiting. One of them was probably my date. 'Lessee..dark green shirt..' I looked around and there was only one guy wearing a dark green shirt. I smiled and started walking towards him.
