CHAPTER 3
"Let me in"
The next day, Sakura, Tomoyo and Chiharu decided to go shopping for costumes for the show at the end of camp. They hadn't decided which song to do yet but the girls wanted to get their outfits. Once Sakura got permission from Touya and Nakuru, they walked to the mall.
"What type of outfits do you think we'll need?" Chiharu asked uncertainly.
"Sparkles and glitter and stuff, always works. Especially for a just a simple school talent show" Tomoyo said.
"Kewl!" Sakura said. She loved stuff like that.
They glided through the shopping mall doors and a cold rush of air conditioning.
"Where to first?" Sakura asked, looking at Tomoyo.
"Uh, I don't know" She answered. Chiharu and Sakura sweatdropped.
"Let's just look around, we have eight hours before the shops close" Chiharu suggested.
"Ok" Tomoyo and Sakura said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Syaoran yelled. He just set a saucepan on fire.
Eriol got the fire extinguisher and put it out.
"This cooking thing is harder than I thought" Eriol said.
"Your telling me" Syaoran grumbled.
"We can't even cook pasta without setting the kitchen on fire" Yamazaki observed.
"I reckon" said Eriol.
"Wait, here's a recipe, doesn't look too hard" Syaoran said, showing his best friends the cookbook. It was a pizza.
"Perfect, it's simple and it doesn't take too long to prepare" Yamazaki said.
"Kewl, we need a pizza base, hmmm, don't think we've got one of those but some pieces of bread side-by-side in a square would be a good subsitute" Eriol read.
"Ok, here we go" Yamazaki was putting 9 pieces of bread in a square.
"Tomato paste" Eriol told them.
"Got it" Syaoran said, pasting the red paste over the bread.
"Now we can put the stuff on, meat, pineapple, whatever" Eriol shut the book.
The guys got some ham, bacon, sausage, pineapple, mushrooms, capsicum, olives and pepperoni. Eriol, Yamazaki and Syaoran cut the ingredients, but ended up getting about 4 cuts each and dumped the chopped food onto the bread.
"We need grated cheese now" Yamazaki said.
"We don't have a grater but if we cut it, it should taste the same" Syaoran suggested.
"Excellent" praised Eriol.
After they put the cheese on, they carefully carried it to the oven.
SPLAT!
The pizza dropped.
"Uh-oh" Syaoran said, with wide eyes.
They started picking up the pizza and loaded it back on to the bread. There was bread and stuff sticking out everywhere but they had no choice but to stuff it in the oven.
"Um, it'll taste just fine, despite it's looks" Eriol cringed.
"It says to cook for half and hour" Yamazaki said, reading of the book, now splattered with sauce, batter and other strange things.
"Just think, this is only the second day of camp, we have to last a whole month! We can't cook that long" Eriol took a deep breath.
"I know, but we only have to cook for half a month. Tomoyo, Chiharu and Sakura can cook the other half" Syaoran said sensibly.
"Yeah...hey where are they anyway?" Yamazaki asked.
"Shopping, where else?" Nakuru came in, hugging Touya, who looked like he'd rather spend eternity with Syaoran than with Nakuru.
"Oh" said Eriol.
Nakuru and Touya left, leaving the boys in silence.
"So" Yamazaki said, trying to break the ice.
"So what?" Syaoran snapped.
"Calm, dude. What are we gonna do for our talent" Eriol asked
"What talent?" Yamazaki cracked up.
They started laughing. Finally, when it subsided, Syaoran asked
"No, seriously, what ARE we gonna do?"
"Don't look at me" Eriol said, throwing up his hands.
DING!
"That's the oven" Syaoran told them. They all bolted to the messy kitchen. Yamazaki carefully took the pizza out. It looked like brown wet tissues with meat and tomato paste.
"Dare you to try it" Yamazaki said, his lips twitching.
"Touche`" Eriol said as he grabbed a small piece of the creation. Almost as soon as he put it in his mouth, he started coughing and spat it out.
"Water" Eriol choked. Yamazaki handed him a glass.
"Good pizza?" Syaoran asked innocently to his cousin. Eriol just glared.
"Maybe we should try toast?" Yamazaki said.
"Ok" Eriol said as he popped some bread in. Too easy.He thought. After a few minutes, he pressed a button and two totally black pieces of toast were in his hand. They all sweatdropped.
"Don't quit your day job, Eriol" Syaoran said miserably.
There was a knock at the door.
"Let us in!" Sakura's voice sailed through the door.
"How does 'no' grab ya?" Yamazaki asked.
"It doesn't" Tomoyo said. She had about six heavy bags and her feet were tired. She tried the door knob. Locked.
"Is it open?" Chiharu asked.
Tomoyo shook her head.
"Let us in, got it?" Chiharu screamed. She was getting impatient and cold.
"Why should we?" Eriol said in a teasing voice.
"This is hopeless" Sakura was starting to lose her faith.
"No!" Chiharu told herfirmly. Sakura rasied her chin and smiled at Chiharu.
"Open the freakin' door and there'll be no trouble, ok?" Sakura yelled.
"Not ok" Syaoran answered calmly.
"Hoooeeeee" Sakura said to herself.
"This is impossible" Tomoyo said softly. Her voice was cracking and tears sprung to her eyes.
"We gotta be strong" Chiharu told her defeated friends. "DO AS I SAY AND UNLACK THE FUCKIN DOOR YOU DICKHEADS!" Chiharu hollered.
"Not a chance" Yamazaki said. A crack of thunder filled the dark sky. Now even Chiharu felt helpless. She sank against the door and cried.
