~~~Sakura's Dream~~~Sakura's P.O.V.~~~
I looked around. I had had this dream before, I remembered this beach.
"Sakura." I turned around. Was it Syaoran again? It was. I sighed in relief.
"Yes?"
"I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I lo-" And then I woke up. I shot up out of bed and looked at the time. '6:30 am. Well, I don't think anyone's up yet. I'll go ahead and get up. I'll just watch TV or something until everyone else gets up.' I quietly got out of bed and checked to make sure Tomoyo was still asleep.
I tiptoed to the door and was about to open it when I heard Tomoyo mumble something.'Oh no! Did I wake her up?'
I turned around to see if she was awake. She wasn't. *sigh* good. But what was she saying? I stepped closer to her to hear what she was saying.
"Eriol...Eriol...pretty boxers..pink and frilly..you model them better than Sakura would."
I had to stifle a laugh. 'Eriol? In pink,frilly boxers? Never!'
I snuck out the door and tiptoed quietly into the kitchen. Then I heard a noise in the main room next to the kitchen.
I grabbed the frying pan from the counter and snuck through the door into the main room. It was still dark, but I could see a figure walking towards the couch. I gripped the pan harder and snuck forward a little bit.
"Yowch!" I heard the figure say as he bumped into something. Wait a minute, I recognized that voice.
"Syaoran?" I said a little shakily.
The figure looked at me sharply. "Sakura? Is that you?"
I sighed in relief and flipped the light switch. It WAS Syaoran.
"It's me. Thank goodness it's just you! I thought it was a homicidal maniac or something!"
"How comforting"
I smiled sheepishly. "Isn't it though?"
He rolled his eyes and smiled. "So what are you doing up so early?"
"I just woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep" So it wasn't the whole truth, but I wasn't about to tell him about the dream.
"Same here. Well, do you wanna watch TV or something?"
"Sure. What's on?"
" I dunno."
We turned the TV on and started to surf through the channels.
"Call now! The number is 123-" *click*
"And the game is tied, with the score of 11-11, and-" *click*
"It's the best thing you've EVER tasted! It's-" *click*
"And that's why you should vote for-" *click*
"Oh, Greg, how could you?! I thought y-" *click*
"Syaoran! I wanted to watch that!"
"What, the soap opera?"
"Yeah!"
"Why?"
"Because... it's so emotionaly deep!"
He blinked a few times and then started laughing. "Deep? Sakura it's about a bunch of horny teenagers who are in lust, not love" (I would like to apologize to the ppl who like soap operas. *sweatdrop*)
"Well..It's still interesting.."
He shook his head still laughing a little. "Alright."
"Really? Thanks Syaoran! Your so sweet!"
He sighed. "Only for you Sakura, only for you"
I happily grabbed the remote and switched it back to the soap opera.
~~~15 Minutes later~~~
I sniffed again and grabbed yet another tissue.
(on TV) "Sheila, I love YOU, not Justine!"
"Greg, after you cheated on me with her, I'm just not sure I can still trust you anymore!" said Sheila as she ran off crying into her hands.
(In real life with Sakura) *sniff* "Greg, you idiot! Did you not realize that it was HER you loved, not Justine! Right, Syaoran?!"
"Zzzzzzz"
"Syaoran?"
I shook him. "Huh? Wha?"
"You fell asleep"
"I did? During the soap opera?"
"YES! Right when Greg was telling Sheila that he loved her more then Justine and Sheila ran away!"
He looked at me strangely. "Riiiight..okay then, I'm just gonna go back to sleep"
She slapped him on the shoulder. "Syaoran! You can't go to sleep on me now!"
"I can't?"
"No!"
"Sakura, it's over!"
"Yes, I know that Greg and Sheila's relationship is over"
"No, the show is over."
"WHAT?! It can't be! I wanted to see if Justine told Thomas how she felt!"
"Sakura. Get a hold of yourself! It.Is.A.Soap.Opera! It's SUPPOSED to be misleading!"
"Oh yeah."
"Football would be better for you to watch than a soap opera"
"Okay."
"Good girl" said Syaoran as he flipped the channel to a Football game.
~~~15 Minutes later~~~
"GO TEAM GO!!!!!!!!!! THE OTHER TEAM'S GOT NOTHIN ON YA!!!!!!!!! NOTHIN, YA HEAR ME???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled.
Syaoran slid into his seat and shook his head. He then grabbed the remote and switched the channel. "No more football for you, Sakura"
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Shh! Be quiet! Let's try another channel!"
I checked the clock. 7:15. "We could probably start breakfast now"
"Waddya want to eat?"
I thought for a minute. "I want..scrambled eggs"
"Alright. I'll go ahead and start them." And then he walked into the kitchen. Then stuck his head back out and said. "And NO more football or soap operas for you missy!"
I nodded and started surfing channels again. I stopped on MTV. Just videos playing.
Yes! The song was "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" by Good Charlotte. I loved this song!
I jumped up from the couch, scattering tissues and a blanket that got thrown off my shoulders and started singing along to the song.
"Lifestyles of the rich and the famous, their always complainin! Always complainin'!" I then grabbed the closest pillow and pretended I was playing a guitar.
"If money's such a problem, well, they got mansions, think we should rob them!"
I grabbed the pillow and slid across the floor. Then I looked up and saw Syaoran,Eriol,Meiling, and Tomoyo staring at me with amused looks on their faces.
"Uh..Hi guys..hehehe.." I blushed and laughed nervously. 'How embarrassing!'
"Good morning Sakura, I see your getting your exercise in before you begin the day" said Eriol smirking.
"Uh..yeah!" I replied.
"It's a very..interesting routine Sakura!" said Meiling, who was obviously trying to hold in her laughter.
"Yes, it's..refreshingly new!" said Tomoyo who was biting her lip to keep from bursting out laughing.
"So THIS is how you manage to stay so thin" said Syaoran smiling at me with raised eyebrows.
"Very funny guys. Syaoran, remember that time with the wooden mixing spoon, the apple, the electric wire and my brother?"
Syaoran immediately shut up. "You do? In that case, BE GOOD!"
He nodded. Eriol looked at me with a questioning look. "Wooden mixing spoon?"
"Don't ask" said a grim looking Syaoran.
"It might be safer if I don't"
I then turned to Eriol. "And you,Eriol, do you want everyone to know about those cute lil smiley face and heart boxers you have?"
He blushed and shook his head. "Then shut up"
Tomoyo and Meiling laughed. "I wouldn't be laughing if I were you Tomoyo. Unless you WANT me to tell everyone, Eriol especially, about what you were dreaming about this morning."
She looked up quickly. "I-I-I don't k-know what your talking a-about S-S- Sakura!"
"I think you do. I guess I'll just have to remind you then."
"NO! YOU CAN'T! I mean, please don't. Fine, I DO know what your talking about, but please don't say anything!"
I smiled triumphantly. Then I turned to Meiling who looked a little unsure of herself. "Now, Meiling, I'm sure you wouldn't want anyone to know who you had a crush on in the 7th grade, now would you?"
#$Meiling P.O.V.#$
My eyes widened. "You wouldn't!"
She smiled knowingly. "Oh, but I would, and You know it!"
I hung my head in defeat. "Fine"
Syaoran turned to me with a quirked eyebrow. "Who DID you have a crush on?"
"None of your business!" I said giving him a death-glare.
"I WILL find out!" He said glaring back.
"How? Ya gonna seduce Sakura and get her to tell you? Cause she's the only other person besides me who knows." I watched as his eyes got as wide as they could probably go. 'Ha! Take that you lil smart-ass cousin of mine! Score- Meiling:1 Syaoran:0'
Sakura and Syaoran turned beet red. 'Mission accomplished!'
"Meiling!" they both said at the same time.
"I wouldn't seduce Sakura!"
I smiled evilly. "You know you want to!"
"I do not!"
I rolled my eyes. "Riiiiiiiiiiight.uh-huh, suuure, whatever you say!"
They were both beet red at this point. I smiled evilly and winked at Tomoyo who smiled and gave me a thumbs-up sign.
Eriol cleared his throat. "Sooooo..what do you guys feel like doing today?"
Tomoyo thought for a minute. "We could go to the Arts and crafts section. I hear their teaching people how to make ornaments. Maybe I could use some for that Christmas outfit for Sakura..."
*sweatdrop*
"Um...sure Tomoyo, we could do that..."
"Can we go horse-back riding after that?" asked a very hyper Sakura.
"Fine with me."
"Sure."
"Okay."
~~~~~~~~~~~~Arts and Crafts Center~~~~~~~Normal P.O.V.~~~~
"Hi everyone! I'm Sugino and today we're making Christmas ornaments! This sheet shows you which designs you can choose from. I'll pass some around so everyone can decide which one they want to do, alright?" said the instructor passing around sheets of paper with Christmas designs. (Merry X-mas, Hannukah, and Winter Solstice Minna-chan! Even though in this story, it's still summer, I thought I'd put sumthin in there to celebrate the Holidays!)
Meiling held up a snowflake design. "I like this one"
Tomoyo held up one with a Reindeer on it. "This would go great with Sakura's Christmas costume!"
Sakura: *sweatdrop* "Hoe...you've already made me one Tomoyo?"
She nodded. "Yep! You'll look so cute!" she said clasping her hands and getting starry eyes.
Syaoran and Eriol looked on, seemingly very amused.
Tomoyo saw this and smiled evilly. "And I've got Syaoran and Eriol's too!"
All the sudden, the 2 guys didn't seem to think it was so funny anymore.
All 3 girls laughed at their faces. Tomoyo grinned. "I was just kidding guys! I know your upset, but I MIGHT have time to fit in 2 more costumes for you, if you want..."
They both shook their heads vigorously(sp?) . "That's what I thought. Which designs did you choose?"
Eriol held up an angel-shaped one and Syaoran held up a...
"Pickle?! What on Earth did you pick a PICKLE design for?"
He shrugged. "I dunno. I heard there was some kind of tradition about it, so I thought it might be an interesting one to do" (We have a pickle ornament on our tree, but I'm not sure what the tradition was for it. If anyone knows, plz tell me!)
Meiling shook her head and turned to Sakura. "Which one did you pick, Sakura?"
She held up a Stocking design with little shapes and figures on it.
"That's so cute!"
She blushed. "Thanks!"
Then the instructor spoke. "Alright, now that you have chosen your designs, I'll hand out the material. Use markers to outline the shape on the material, then cut it out and add whatever you like to it. There's paint,glitter, and other supplies on the cabinet in the back!"
After a few minutes, everyone had their ornaments cut out and were putting their own designs on them.
"Waddya think?" saked Tomoyo after a while.
Meiling looked up and quirked her eyebrow. "It's a really cute Dog!"
"It's supposed to be a Reindeer"
"Oh..uh, nice Reindeer then"
Tomoyo glared at her. "Thanks Meiling.."
She smiled sheepishly. "Your welcome!"
Then finally, The finished product: Disasterously hideous ornaments.
Tomoyo's Reindeer now looked like a deformed dog.
Meiling's snowflake looked like a white lump of coal.
Sakura's stocking looked like a candle with a small, round lump on the bottom.
Eriol's angel-outline looked like a square mickey-mouse.
And Syaoran's pickle was the only one that looked alright..minus the fact that he accidently painted it purple instead of green.
"Er..Syaoran, your pickle is.."
"I know Meiling, it's purple. It was SUPPOSED to be green, but it just kinda..."
"Got screwed?"
He shot a look at her. "I would've put it differently, but, yeah"
Sakura giggled. "It turned out better than mine did."
"No it didn't! Your candle looks great Sakura! Except it's got a little lump at the bottom"
"It's a stocking Tomoyo."
"Oh..um, it's lovely! Really!"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna chop that lil lump off and say it's a candle."
"Good idea"
Meanwhile Syaoran and Meiling were still arguing.
"Well, you screwed up on your color too Meiling! Don't you know that coal is supposed to be black, not white?"
"It's a snowflake thank you very much!"
"Well then you screwed up REALLY bad!"
"At least I have a white lump! Yours looks more like an eggplant than a pickle!"
"That's just because it's purple!"
Then Eriol butted in. "Now children, you shouldn't be arguing about my cute little descendents eggplant and Meiling's white lump"
"It's a pickle that's painted purple." Meiling stifled a laugh. Syaoran eyed her."ON ACCIDENT!"
"And mine is a snowflake!"
Eriol doubled over laughing. "You guys suck at making ornaments!"
"Where's yours?"
He abruptly stopped laughing. "Er."
"Let's see it."
Eriol held out his ornament.
Meiling looked at it for a second. "They had a Mickey Mouse one? I would've done that one instead. It's kinda square though."
"It's supposed to be an angel"
Syaoran snickered. "Good job."
Eriol glared at him. "Same to you, Mr. Purple Pickle"
Tomoyo quirked her eyebrow. "Mr. Purple pickle?"
Eriol nodded. "That's right."
Sakura and Tomoyo rolled their eyes. "Whatever"
"Can we go Horse-back riding now?" asked Sakura.
"Sure. I'm ready to go. What about you guys?" asked Syaoran.
They all nodded, even though Eriol seemed a lil hesitant.
~~~~Horse Stables~~~~#$Eriol P.O.V.#$
This.Was.A.Stupid.Idea! I should've never some here in the 1st place! Horses scare me...ever since that pony ride when I was 7 years old. I shuddered.
Tomoyo turned around and looked at me. "Eriol, is there something wrong?"
I shook my head. "Nope, just fine!" I smiled the best I could.
She looked at me quizically. "If you say so.."
We walked into the stables and I looked around at all the horses. They looked mean and vicious. Especially the one with the red bows in the corner..scary..red, the color of blood.
Sakura squealed excitedly. "Horsies!"
Horsies...evil creatures...
"Eriol?"
My head snapped up. "What?"
It was Meiling who had spoken to me. "Why are you glaring at that Horse in the corner?"
"It looks evil"
"Evil? It has lil red bows in it's hair and it's so cute!"
"It still looks evil..."
She rolled her eyes. "Right, surrrrre..."
Then, a lady with short black hair and blue eyes came walking up to them. "Hi there! You guys here to ride?"
We all nodded. She smiled. "Great! I'm Risa, the instructor here. It's a Trail ride you want, right?"
Again, we nodded. "Alright then, I've got to go take care of the last group. We had a lil accident with one of them, but they'll be fine. So, I'll let my stablehand take care of you. Watanabe!"
Watanabe walked out of one of the stalls and smiled. "Oh! Hey guys! Here for a ride?"
"Yep!" said Tomoyo cheerfully.
Risa looked from him to us. "You guys know each other?"
Watanabe nodded. "Yep."
She smiled. "Great! Even better! Watanabe, I'll let you take care of them, okay?"
He nodded. Then turned to us. "Alright..who wants to pick their horse first? Only a few of these horses can't be ridden."
Sakura snapped her arm up. "I do!"
"Alright. Which one do you want?"
She pointed to a black mare with a few white spots in the corner. "That one!"
He smiled. "Good choice. Her name is Black Cherry. She's very gentle, but she likes to go fast, I should probably warn you"
"I like her name!"
"I thought you might. How about you Tomoyo?"
She looked around and then walked over to a dark-brown mare with a white streak down her face and petted it's nose. "Can I have this one?"
He nodded. "Yeah. She's sweet, but she likes to nip at ya sometimes. Her name is White Chocolate. Choco girl for short."
Tomoyo laughed. "Choco girl, huh? It's a cute name"
"Risa came up with it. She called her that one day and it just stuck, I guess"
"I see."
He then looked at Meiling. "What about you?"
"I want a horse with Spirit."
"You'd probably like Bonita then. Risa named her after a horse she read about in a book"
Meiling smiled. "Okay where is she?"
He pointed to a grey/white horse that was pacing around in her stall. Meiling walked over and stuck her head into the stall. "Bonita!" Bonita's ears pricked and she walked over to Meiling and sniffed her hair. Meiling patted her on the neck. "Your right. I like her already."
Watanabe smiled. "Good. Which ones do you guys want?"
Syaoran pointed to the chestnut horse with the white star on it's forehead that he was petting. "I'll take this one."
"Alright. That's Flame.He's a little bit mean sometimes, but he's usually obedient."
"Fine with me."
I looked around at the remaining horses. My eyes finally landed on a somewhat gentle looking one that was a yellowish color. "Can I ride that one?"
He shook his head. "Nope sorry. She's got a bad foot right now. You could have..." He looked around. And pointed to the evil-looking horse in the corner. "That one. The rest can't be ridden because their too mean or not in good condition."
I frowned. Not good. "I-I-I-I g-guess.." I stuttered nervously.
About 10 minutes later we were ready to go...to hell in my opinion, on a trail ride according to everyone else.
~~~~~~~Meanwhile back in Tomoeda~~~~~~#$Touya P.O.V.#$~~~
I sighed. 'Another boring day. Great. I wish I was on that trip that Sakura was taking right now. I could be sleeping in right now' I yawned.
Then the Teacher walked in. "Sit down please! I have an announcement!"
After everyone was sitting down, he cleared his throat. "We have a new student. She just transferred over her from Kyoto, so please make her feel welcome. Come on in" he said turning to the door. The door opened and in walked..Oh no! Not her again! "Class, I'd like you to meet Kitara Miko!"
She walked into the room caught my eye and winked. I sunk into my seat and mumbled under my breath 'Great, I don't wanna deal with this stupid girl. Please let her just leave me alone!'
"Kitara-san, you can sit next to Kinomoto-kun. Kinomoto, please raise your hand."
I hesitantly raised my hand and frowned. She happily walked over to her new seat and smiled at me. I turned to Yuki for help, but he was too busy flirting with Nakuru. 'Yuki! Don't do this to me!'
"Hi there.."
I twitched. "Uh...hi..."
"Could you show me around the school later?"
"Er.I can't, but Nakuru will. Right Nakuru?"
Her head snapped up. "What?"
"Show Kitara-san around the school."
She looked at me like I was crazy and I gave her a desperate look. She sighed. "Yeah, I will. Kitara-san, I'm Akizuki Nakuru. Nice to meet you, I'll show you around the school if you like"
Miko blinked and faltered a bit but then nodded slowly. "Okay."
"Is after school today alright?"
"Sure. And you can call me Miko"
"You can call me Nakuru."
Okay, now I was confused. Did Miko and Nakuru just have a good conversation? And Miko didn't argue with her about Nakuru showing her around instead of me? Whoa...
Nakuru leaned over "Touya, why am I showing her around?"
"So I don't have to"
"You owe me big time for this one."
I sighed. "Alright, what do you want?"
She rubbed her chin and smiled. "10 ice cream cones that you buy"
I sighed. "Fine"
"I wasn't done. I want you to not call Sakura 'Kaijuu' AND be nice to her"
"What?!"
"Want me to tell Miko that your going to show her around instead?"
"No!"
"Then meet my commands"
I hung my head. "Fine"
Nakuru smiled happily. "Good boy!"
'Welcome to Hell. Population: Touya Kinomoto'
~~~~Back with Sakura-tachi~~~~#$Watanabe P.O.V.#$~~~~
I looked back at Eriol trying not to laugh. "Are you SURE your okay back there?"
"Yeah..I-I-I'm just f-f-fine!" Eriol was gripping the reins and saddle horn as hard as he could. I tried not to laugh when I remembered that when I told Eriol to use a helmet, he asked if he could have shoulder and knee pads too. I had asked him why and he had said it was because he was positive that Angel ("Evil" horses name) was evil and out to destroy the Earth or something along those lines. The others seemed to be just fine with their horses.
Sakura and Black Cherry had immediately taken a liking to each other and were going along peacefully on the trail.
After Choco girl laid her head on Tomoyo's shoulder and Tomoyo squealed that she was "Very Kawaii!" they had gotten along perfectly.
Meiling and Bonita were bonding great too. They seemed to have a lot in common and Meiling obviously loved Bonita's spirit.
Syaoran and Flame had been playfully nudging/hitting each other and were going along at a fast walk behind him.
Angel was usually well liked by just about everybody, so I couldn't figure out why Eriol didn't like her. Maybe he'd had a bad experience before.
"Alright guys! We're coming to a stream, so be ready to get a little wet, okay?"
"Okay!" they all chorused behind me.
#$Normal, P.O.V.#$
All the horses went across the stream fine, but after they got over, that's when the trouble started. They were walking along peacefully, until a squirrel ran in front of Sakura's horse. Black Cherry spooked and shot off in a full run.
"SAKURA!" yelled Tomoyo.
Syaoran turned his horse and took off after her.
Sakura was clinging tightly to the saddle and reigns, hoping that it would end soon.
Syaoran was catching up quickly and soon he was close enough to grab the reigns of Sakura's horse and slow them down until they came to a stop.
He took a moment to catch his breath and then looked at Sakura, who seemed to be unconcious. He slipped off his horse and led both horses to a nearby tree and tied them to one of the branches and then lifted Sakura out of her saddle and placed her on the ground.
"Sakura, wake up, c'mon Sakura"
Her eyes slowly fluttered open. "Am I alive?"
"Yes, I stopped your horse. You were just unconcious, that's all"
She looked at him for a few seconds without blinking. He started to blush and blinked.
"What?"
She then hugged him tightly. "You saved my life. Thank you, Syaoran"
He hugged her back. "Your welcome Sakura. But you probably would've lived even if I hadn't stopped your horse."
She gripped his shirt. "Well, I'm still glad you stopped it when you did. I owe you."
"Don't worry about it. C'mon, we should probably head back so they don't think we're lost."
She nodded silently. Then stopped for a sec. "Can I ride with you?"
He blushed lightly and nodded. "Sure."
She smiled gratefully. "Thanks."
He looped Sakura's horse's reigns around the horn on his saddle, then boosted himself into the saddle and pulled Sakura on after him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned close to him. He started to blush a deep red and got even redder when she snuggled close to his neck and he could feel her warm breath at the back of his neck.
"Syaoran"
"Hmm?"
"Um...why did you kiss me yesterday?"
He froze a little bit and slowed the horse down. "I guess...it just...felt..natural.."
"Natural?"
"Yeah. Do you get what I'm saying?"
"Not really."
"I..well, I...I WANTED to kiss you.." He said blushing. 'And here comes the rejection.'
"You did?"
"Yeah?"
"Why?"
Then he heard someone yelling. "Li! Sakura!" It was Watanabe's voice. 'Thank you Watanabe!'
"Over here!" he yelled back.
He heard footsteps coming towards them. He leaned back towards Sakura and whispered. "I'll give you an answer to that question if you meet me later at 5:30 on the beach at the part near all those palm trees, okay?"
She nodded and leaned forward. "Before Tomoyo and the others come and see this.." And she leaned forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. He reached up to touch the spot where she had kissed him. 'I'm never washing my cheek again.'
"Are you guys alright?" asked a panicked Tomoyo as she came running up to them. They nodded and smiled.
"We're fine Tomoyo" said Sakura hopping off and hugging Tomoyo. Tomoyo was so nervous she didn't even seem to notice that Sakura had been riding with Syaoran. Neither did Meiling as she came up and hugged both Syaoran and Sakura.
"I'm glad you guys are okay." Said Watanabe, who looked relieved.
"Where's Eriol?" asked Sakura looking around.
Meiling sweatdropped. "Clinging to a tree yelling that he refuses to get back on 'The Evil One'"
Syaoran started snickering. "I'm going to hang this over his head every chance I get!"
Sakura elbowed him. "Syaoran!"
"Sorry, sorry. Let's go pry our village idiot off the tree"
"Good idea" said Meiling heading back to where Angel was standing looking at Eriol 'hugging' the tree.
~~~~Later on at the Beach where S+S are meeting~~~#$Normal P.O.V.#$ (a/n- I'm gonna skip some time, but I'm sure you don't mind THAT much, do u?)
Sakura sat down under a palm tree and looked over the ocean. Then her eyes widened. 'I remember this. This was my dream, except it's real this time.'
A twig snapped and a voice spoke. "Sakura?"
"Yes?"
"I have something to tell you"
He came and sat down next to her. "I..."

~~~Sakura's Dream~~~Sakura's P.O.V.~~~
I looked around. I had had this dream before, I remembered this beach.
"Sakura." I turned around. Was it Syaoran again? It was. I sighed in relief.
"Yes?"
"I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I lo-" And then I woke up. I shot up out of bed and looked at the time. '6:30 am. Well, I don't think anyone's up yet. I'll go ahead and get up. I'll just watch TV or something until everyone else gets up.' I quietly got out of bed and checked to make sure Tomoyo was still asleep.
I tiptoed to the door and was about to open it when I heard Tomoyo mumble something.'Oh no! Did I wake her up?'
I turned around to see if she was awake. She wasn't. *sigh* good. But what was she saying? I stepped closer to her to hear what she was saying.
"Eriol...Eriol...pretty boxers..pink and frilly..you model them better than Sakura would."
I had to stifle a laugh. 'Eriol? In pink,frilly boxers? Never!'
I snuck out the door and tiptoed quietly into the kitchen. Then I heard a noise in the main room next to the kitchen.
I grabbed the frying pan from the counter and snuck through the door into the main room. It was still dark, but I could see a figure walking towards the couch. I gripped the pan harder and snuck forward a little bit.
"Yowch!" I heard the figure say as he bumped into something. Wait a minute, I recognized that voice.
"Syaoran?" I said a little shakily.
The figure looked at me sharply. "Sakura? Is that you?"
I sighed in relief and flipped the light switch. It WAS Syaoran.
"It's me. Thank goodness it's just you! I thought it was a homicidal maniac or something!"
"How comforting"
I smiled sheepishly. "Isn't it though?"
He rolled his eyes and smiled. "So what are you doing up so early?"
"I just woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep" So it wasn't the whole truth, but I wasn't about to tell him about the dream.
"Same here. Well, do you wanna watch TV or something?"
"Sure. What's on?"
" I dunno."
We turned the TV on and started to surf through the channels.
"Call now! The number is 123-" *click*
"And the game is tied, with the score of 11-11, and-" *click*
"It's the best thing you've EVER tasted! It's-" *click*
"And that's why you should vote for-" *click*
"Oh, Greg, how could you?! I thought y-" *click*
"Syaoran! I wanted to watch that!"
"What, the soap opera?"
"Yeah!"
"Why?"
"Because... it's so emotionaly deep!"
He blinked a few times and then started laughing. "Deep? Sakura it's about a bunch of horny teenagers who are in lust, not love" (I would like to apologize to the ppl who like soap operas. *sweatdrop*)
"Well..It's still interesting.."
He shook his head still laughing a little. "Alright."
"Really? Thanks Syaoran! Your so sweet!"
He sighed. "Only for you Sakura, only for you"
I happily grabbed the remote and switched it back to the soap opera.
~~~15 Minutes later~~~
I sniffed again and grabbed yet another tissue.
(on TV) "Sheila, I love YOU, not Justine!"
"Greg, after you cheated on me with her, I'm just not sure I can still trust you anymore!" said Sheila as she ran off crying into her hands.
(In real life with Sakura) *sniff* "Greg, you idiot! Did you not realize that it was HER you loved, not Justine! Right, Syaoran?!"
"Zzzzzzz"
"Syaoran?"
I shook him. "Huh? Wha?"
"You fell asleep"
"I did? During the soap opera?"
"YES! Right when Greg was telling Sheila that he loved her more then Justine and Sheila ran away!"
He looked at me strangely. "Riiiight..okay then, I'm just gonna go back to sleep"
She slapped him on the shoulder. "Syaoran! You can't go to sleep on me now!"
"I can't?"
"No!"
"Sakura, it's over!"
"Yes, I know that Greg and Sheila's relationship is over"
"No, the show is over."
"WHAT?! It can't be! I wanted to see if Justine told Thomas how she felt!"
"Sakura. Get a hold of yourself! It.Is.A.Soap.Opera! It's SUPPOSED to be misleading!"
"Oh yeah."
"Football would be better for you to watch than a soap opera"
"Okay."
"Good girl" said Syaoran as he flipped the channel to a Football game.
~~~15 Minutes later~~~
"GO TEAM GO!!!!!!!!!! THE OTHER TEAM'S GOT NOTHIN ON YA!!!!!!!!! NOTHIN, YA HEAR ME???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled.
Syaoran slid into his seat and shook his head. He then grabbed the remote and switched the channel. "No more football for you, Sakura"
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Shh! Be quiet! Let's try another channel!"
I checked the clock. 7:15. "We could probably start breakfast now"
"Waddya want to eat?"
I thought for a minute. "I want..scrambled eggs"
"Alright. I'll go ahead and start them." And then he walked into the kitchen. Then stuck his head back out and said. "And NO more football or soap operas for you missy!"
I nodded and started surfing channels again. I stopped on MTV. Just videos playing.
Yes! The song was "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" by Good Charlotte. I loved this song!
I jumped up from the couch, scattering tissues and a blanket that got thrown off my shoulders and started singing along to the song.
"Lifestyles of the rich and the famous, their always complainin! Always complainin'!" I then grabbed the closest pillow and pretended I was playing a guitar.
"If money's such a problem, well, they got mansions, think we should rob them!"
I grabbed the pillow and slid across the floor. Then I looked up and saw Syaoran,Eriol,Meiling, and Tomoyo staring at me with amused looks on their faces.
"Uh..Hi guys..hehehe.." I blushed and laughed nervously. 'How embarrassing!'
"Good morning Sakura, I see your getting your exercise in before you begin the day" said Eriol smirking.
"Uh..yeah!" I replied.
"It's a very..interesting routine Sakura!" said Meiling, who was obviously trying to hold in her laughter.
"Yes, it's..refreshingly new!" said Tomoyo who was biting her lip to keep from bursting out laughing.
"So THIS is how you manage to stay so thin" said Syaoran smiling at me with raised eyebrows.
"Very funny guys. Syaoran, remember that time with the wooden mixing spoon, the apple, the electric wire and my brother?"
Syaoran immediately shut up. "You do? In that case, BE GOOD!"
He nodded. Eriol looked at me with a questioning look. "Wooden mixing spoon?"
"Don't ask" said a grim looking Syaoran.
"It might be safer if I don't"
I then turned to Eriol. "And you,Eriol, do you want everyone to know about those cute lil smiley face and heart boxers you have?"
He blushed and shook his head. "Then shut up"
Tomoyo and Meiling laughed. "I wouldn't be laughing if I were you Tomoyo. Unless you WANT me to tell everyone, Eriol especially, about what you were dreaming about this morning."
She looked up quickly. "I-I-I don't k-know what your talking a-about S-S- Sakura!"
"I think you do. I guess I'll just have to remind you then."
"NO! YOU CAN'T! I mean, please don't. Fine, I DO know what your talking about, but please don't say anything!"
I smiled triumphantly. Then I turned to Meiling who looked a little unsure of herself. "Now, Meiling, I'm sure you wouldn't want anyone to know who you had a crush on in the 7th grade, now would you?"
#$Meiling P.O.V.#$
My eyes widened. "You wouldn't!"
She smiled knowingly. "Oh, but I would, and You know it!"
I hung my head in defeat. "Fine"
Syaoran turned to me with a quirked eyebrow. "Who DID you have a crush on?"
"None of your business!" I said giving him a death-glare.
"I WILL find out!" He said glaring back.
"How? Ya gonna seduce Sakura and get her to tell you? Cause she's the only other person besides me who knows." I watched as his eyes got as wide as they could probably go. 'Ha! Take that you lil smart-ass cousin of mine! Score- Meiling:1 Syaoran:0'
Sakura and Syaoran turned beet red. 'Mission accomplished!'
"Meiling!" they both said at the same time.
"I wouldn't seduce Sakura!"
I smiled evilly. "You know you want to!"
"I do not!"
I rolled my eyes. "Riiiiiiiiiiight.uh-huh, suuure, whatever you say!"
They were both beet red at this point. I smiled evilly and winked at Tomoyo who smiled and gave me a thumbs-up sign.
Eriol cleared his throat. "Sooooo..what do you guys feel like doing today?"
Tomoyo thought for a minute. "We could go to the Arts and crafts section. I hear their teaching people how to make ornaments. Maybe I could use some for that Christmas outfit for Sakura..."
*sweatdrop*
"Um...sure Tomoyo, we could do that..."
"Can we go horse-back riding after that?" asked a very hyper Sakura.
"Fine with me."
"Sure."
"Okay."
~~~~~~~~~~~~Arts and Crafts Center~~~~~~~Normal P.O.V.~~~~
"Hi everyone! I'm Sugino and today we're making Christmas ornaments! This sheet shows you which designs you can choose from. I'll pass some around so everyone can decide which one they want to do, alright?" said the instructor passing around sheets of paper with Christmas designs. (Merry X-mas, Hannukah, and Winter Solstice Minna-chan! Even though in this story, it's still summer, I thought I'd put sumthin in there to celebrate the Holidays!)
Meiling held up a snowflake design. "I like this one"
Tomoyo held up one with a Reindeer on it. "This would go great with Sakura's Christmas costume!"
Sakura: *sweatdrop* "Hoe...you've already made me one Tomoyo?"
She nodded. "Yep! You'll look so cute!" she said clasping her hands and getting starry eyes.
Syaoran and Eriol looked on, seemingly very amused.
Tomoyo saw this and smiled evilly. "And I've got Syaoran and Eriol's too!"
All the sudden, the 2 guys didn't seem to think it was so funny anymore.
All 3 girls laughed at their faces. Tomoyo grinned. "I was just kidding guys! I know your upset, but I MIGHT have time to fit in 2 more costumes for you, if you want..."
They both shook their heads vigorously(sp?) . "That's what I thought. Which designs did you choose?"
Eriol held up an angel-shaped one and Syaoran held up a...
"Pickle?! What on Earth did you pick a PICKLE design for?"
He shrugged. "I dunno. I heard there was some kind of tradition about it, so I thought it might be an interesting one to do" (We have a pickle ornament on our tree, but I'm not sure what the tradition was for it. If anyone knows, plz tell me!)
Meiling shook her head and turned to Sakura. "Which one did you pick, Sakura?"
She held up a Stocking design with little shapes and figures on it.
"That's so cute!"
She blushed. "Thanks!"
Then the instructor spoke. "Alright, now that you have chosen your designs, I'll hand out the material. Use markers to outline the shape on the material, then cut it out and add whatever you like to it. There's paint,glitter, and other supplies on the cabinet in the back!"
After a few minutes, everyone had their ornaments cut out and were putting their own designs on them.
"Waddya think?" saked Tomoyo after a while.
Meiling looked up and quirked her eyebrow. "It's a really cute Dog!"
"It's supposed to be a Reindeer"
"Oh..uh, nice Reindeer then"
Tomoyo glared at her. "Thanks Meiling.."
She smiled sheepishly. "Your welcome!"
Then finally, The finished product: Disasterously hideous ornaments.
Tomoyo's Reindeer now looked like a deformed dog.
Meiling's snowflake looked like a white lump of coal.
Sakura's stocking looked like a candle with a small, round lump on the bottom.
Eriol's angel-outline looked like a square mickey-mouse.
And Syaoran's pickle was the only one that looked alright..minus the fact that he accidently painted it purple instead of green.
"Er..Syaoran, your pickle is.."
"I know Meiling, it's purple. It was SUPPOSED to be green, but it just kinda..."
"Got screwed?"
He shot a look at her. "I would've put it differently, but, yeah"
Sakura giggled. "It turned out better than mine did."
"No it didn't! Your candle looks great Sakura! Except it's got a little lump at the bottom"
"It's a stocking Tomoyo."
"Oh..um, it's lovely! Really!"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna chop that lil lump off and say it's a candle."
"Good idea"
Meanwhile Syaoran and Meiling were still arguing.
"Well, you screwed up on your color too Meiling! Don't you know that coal is supposed to be black, not white?"
"It's a snowflake thank you very much!"
"Well then you screwed up REALLY bad!"
"At least I have a white lump! Yours looks more like an eggplant than a pickle!"
"That's just because it's purple!"
Then Eriol butted in. "Now children, you shouldn't be arguing about my cute little descendents eggplant and Meiling's white lump"
"It's a pickle that's painted purple." Meiling stifled a laugh. Syaoran eyed her."ON ACCIDENT!"
"And mine is a snowflake!"
Eriol doubled over laughing. "You guys suck at making ornaments!"
"Where's yours?"
He abruptly stopped laughing. "Er."
"Let's see it."
Eriol held out his ornament.
Meiling looked at it for a second. "They had a Mickey Mouse one? I would've done that one instead. It's kinda square though."
"It's supposed to be an angel"
Syaoran snickered. "Good job."
Eriol glared at him. "Same to you, Mr. Purple Pickle"
Tomoyo quirked her eyebrow. "Mr. Purple pickle?"
Eriol nodded. "That's right."
Sakura and Tomoyo rolled their eyes. "Whatever"
"Can we go Horse-back riding now?" asked Sakura.
"Sure. I'm ready to go. What about you guys?" asked Syaoran.
They all nodded, even though Eriol seemed a lil hesitant.
~~~~Horse Stables~~~~#$Eriol P.O.V.#$
This.Was.A.Stupid.Idea! I should've never some here in the 1st place! Horses scare me...ever since that pony ride when I was 7 years old. I shuddered.
Tomoyo turned around and looked at me. "Eriol, is there something wrong?"
I shook my head. "Nope, just fine!" I smiled the best I could.
She looked at me quizically. "If you say so.."
We walked into the stables and I looked around at all the horses. They looked mean and vicious. Especially the one with the red bows in the corner..scary..red, the color of blood.
Sakura squealed excitedly. "Horsies!"
Horsies...evil creatures...
"Eriol?"
My head snapped up. "What?"
It was Meiling who had spoken to me. "Why are you glaring at that Horse in the corner?"
"It looks evil"
"Evil? It has lil red bows in it's hair and it's so cute!"
"It still looks evil..."
She rolled her eyes. "Right, surrrrre..."
Then, a lady with short black hair and blue eyes came walking up to them. "Hi there! You guys here to ride?"
We all nodded. She smiled. "Great! I'm Risa, the instructor here. It's a Trail ride you want, right?"
Again, we nodded. "Alright then, I've got to go take care of the last group. We had a lil accident with one of them, but they'll be fine. So, I'll let my stablehand take care of you. Watanabe!"
Watanabe walked out of one of the stalls and smiled. "Oh! Hey guys! Here for a ride?"
"Yep!" said Tomoyo cheerfully.
Risa looked from him to us. "You guys know each other?"
Watanabe nodded. "Yep."
She smiled. "Great! Even better! Watanabe, I'll let you take care of them, okay?"
He nodded. Then turned to us. "Alright..who wants to pick their horse first? Only a few of these horses can't be ridden."
Sakura snapped her arm up. "I do!"
"Alright. Which one do you want?"
She pointed to a black mare with a few white spots in the corner. "That one!"
He smiled. "Good choice. Her name is Black Cherry. She's very gentle, but she likes to go fast, I should probably warn you"
"I like her name!"
"I thought you might. How about you Tomoyo?"
She looked around and then walked over to a dark-brown mare with a white streak down her face and petted it's nose. "Can I have this one?"
He nodded. "Yeah. She's sweet, but she likes to nip at ya sometimes. Her name is White Chocolate. Choco girl for short."
Tomoyo laughed. "Choco girl, huh? It's a cute name"
"Risa came up with it. She called her that one day and it just stuck, I guess"
"I see."
He then looked at Meiling. "What about you?"
"I want a horse with Spirit."
"You'd probably like Bonita then. Risa named her after a horse she read about in a book"
Meiling smiled. "Okay where is she?"
He pointed to a grey/white horse that was pacing around in her stall. Meiling walked over and stuck her head into the stall. "Bonita!" Bonita's ears pricked and she walked over to Meiling and sniffed her hair. Meiling patted her on the neck. "Your right. I like her already."
Watanabe smiled. "Good. Which ones do you guys want?"
Syaoran pointed to the chestnut horse with the white star on it's forehead that he was petting. "I'll take this one."
"Alright. That's Flame.He's a little bit mean sometimes, but he's usually obedient."
"Fine with me."
I looked around at the remaining horses. My eyes finally landed on a somewhat gentle looking one that was a yellowish color. "Can I ride that one?"
He shook his head. "Nope sorry. She's got a bad foot right now. You could have..." He looked around. And pointed to the evil-looking horse in the corner. "That one. The rest can't be ridden because their too mean or not in good condition."
I frowned. Not good. "I-I-I-I g-guess.." I stuttered nervously.
About 10 minutes later we were ready to go...to hell in my opinion, on a trail ride according to everyone else.
~~~~~~~Meanwhile back in Tomoeda~~~~~~#$Touya P.O.V.#$~~~
I sighed. 'Another boring day. Great. I wish I was on that trip that Sakura was taking right now. I could be sleeping in right now' I yawned.
Then the Teacher walked in. "Sit down please! I have an announcement!"
After everyone was sitting down, he cleared his throat. "We have a new student. She just transferred over her from Kyoto, so please make her feel welcome. Come on in" he said turning to the door. The door opened and in walked..Oh no! Not her again! "Class, I'd like you to meet Kitara Miko!"
She walked into the room caught my eye and winked. I sunk into my seat and mumbled under my breath 'Great, I don't wanna deal with this stupid girl. Please let her just leave me alone!'
"Kitara-san, you can sit next to Kinomoto-kun. Kinomoto, please raise your hand."
I hesitantly raised my hand and frowned. She happily walked over to her new seat and smiled at me. I turned to Yuki for help, but he was too busy flirting with Nakuru. 'Yuki! Don't do this to me!'
"Hi there.."
I twitched. "Uh...hi..."
"Could you show me around the school later?"
"Er.I can't, but Nakuru will. Right Nakuru?"
Her head snapped up. "What?"
"Show Kitara-san around the school."
She looked at me like I was crazy and I gave her a desperate look. She sighed. "Yeah, I will. Kitara-san, I'm Akizuki Nakuru. Nice to meet you, I'll show you around the school if you like"
Miko blinked and faltered a bit but then nodded slowly. "Okay."
"Is after school today alright?"
"Sure. And you can call me Miko"
"You can call me Nakuru."
Okay, now I was confused. Did Miko and Nakuru just have a good conversation? And Miko didn't argue with her about Nakuru showing her around instead of me? Whoa...
Nakuru leaned over "Touya, why am I showing her around?"
"So I don't have to"
"You owe me big time for this one."
I sighed. "Alright, what do you want?"
She rubbed her chin and smiled. "10 ice cream cones that you buy"
I sighed. "Fine"
"I wasn't done. I want you to not call Sakura 'Kaijuu' AND be nice to her"
"What?!"
"Want me to tell Miko that your going to show her around instead?"
"No!"
"Then meet my commands"
I hung my head. "Fine"
Nakuru smiled happily. "Good boy!"
'Welcome to Hell. Population: Touya Kinomoto'
~~~~Back with Sakura-tachi~~~~#$Watanabe P.O.V.#$~~~~
I looked back at Eriol trying not to laugh. "Are you SURE your okay back there?"
"Yeah..I-I-I'm just f-f-fine!" Eriol was gripping the reins and saddle horn as hard as he could. I tried not to laugh when I remembered that when I told Eriol to use a helmet, he asked if he could have shoulder and knee pads too. I had asked him why and he had said it was because he was positive that Angel ("Evil" horses name) was evil and out to destroy the Earth or something along those lines. The others seemed to be just fine with their horses.
Sakura and Black Cherry had immediately taken a liking to each other and were going along peacefully on the trail.
After Choco girl laid her head on Tomoyo's shoulder and Tomoyo squealed that she was "Very Kawaii!" they had gotten along perfectly.
Meiling and Bonita were bonding great too. They seemed to have a lot in common and Meiling obviously loved Bonita's spirit.
Syaoran and Flame had been playfully nudging/hitting each other and were going along at a fast walk behind him.
Angel was usually well liked by just about everybody, so I couldn't figure out why Eriol didn't like her. Maybe he'd had a bad experience before.
"Alright guys! We're coming to a stream, so be ready to get a little wet, okay?"
"Okay!" they all chorused behind me.
#$Normal, P.O.V.#$
All the horses went across the stream fine, but after they got over, that's when the trouble started. They were walking along peacefully, until a squirrel ran in front of Sakura's horse. Black Cherry spooked and shot off in a full run.
"SAKURA!" yelled Tomoyo.
Syaoran turned his horse and took off after her.
Sakura was clinging tightly to the saddle and reigns, hoping that it would end soon.
Syaoran was catching up quickly and soon he was close enough to grab the reigns of Sakura's horse and slow them down until they came to a stop.
He took a moment to catch his breath and then looked at Sakura, who seemed to be unconcious. He slipped off his horse and led both horses to a nearby tree and tied them to one of the branches and then lifted Sakura out of her saddle and placed her on the ground.
"Sakura, wake up, c'mon Sakura"
Her eyes slowly fluttered open. "Am I alive?"
"Yes, I stopped your horse. You were just unconcious, that's all"
She looked at him for a few seconds without blinking. He started to blush and blinked.
"What?"
She then hugged him tightly. "You saved my life. Thank you, Syaoran"
He hugged her back. "Your welcome Sakura. But you probably would've lived even if I hadn't stopped your horse."
She gripped his shirt. "Well, I'm still glad you stopped it when you did. I owe you."
"Don't worry about it. C'mon, we should probably head back so they don't think we're lost."
She nodded silently. Then stopped for a sec. "Can I ride with you?"
He blushed lightly and nodded. "Sure."
She smiled gratefully. "Thanks."
He looped Sakura's horse's reigns around the horn on his saddle, then boosted himself into the saddle and pulled Sakura on after him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned close to him. He started to blush a deep red and got even redder when she snuggled close to his neck and he could feel her warm breath at the back of his neck.
"Syaoran"
"Hmm?"
"Um...why did you kiss me yesterday?"
He froze a little bit and slowed the horse down. "I guess...it just...felt..natural.."
"Natural?"
"Yeah. Do you get what I'm saying?"
"Not really."
"I..well, I...I WANTED to kiss you.." He said blushing. 'And here comes the rejection.'
"You did?"
"Yeah?"
"Why?"
Then he heard someone yelling. "Li! Sakura!" It was Watanabe's voice. 'Thank you Watanabe!'
"Over here!" he yelled back.
He heard footsteps coming towards them. He leaned back towards Sakura and whispered. "I'll give you an answer to that question if you meet me later at 5:30 on the beach at the part near all those palm trees, okay?"
She nodded and leaned forward. "Before Tomoyo and the others come and see this.." And she leaned forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. He reached up to touch the spot where she had kissed him. 'I'm never washing my cheek again.'
"Are you guys alright?" asked a panicked Tomoyo as she came running up to them. They nodded and smiled.
"We're fine Tomoyo" said Sakura hopping off and hugging Tomoyo. Tomoyo was so nervous she didn't even seem to notice that Sakura had been riding with Syaoran. Neither did Meiling as she came up and hugged both Syaoran and Sakura.
"I'm glad you guys are okay." Said Watanabe, who looked relieved.
"Where's Eriol?" asked Sakura looking around.
Meiling sweatdropped. "Clinging to a tree yelling that he refuses to get back on 'The Evil One'"
Syaoran started snickering. "I'm going to hang this over his head every chance I get!"
Sakura elbowed him. "Syaoran!"
"Sorry, sorry. Let's go pry our village idiot off the tree"
"Good idea" said Meiling heading back to where Angel was standing looking at Eriol 'hugging' the tree.
~~~~Later on at the Beach where S+S are meeting~~~#$Normal P.O.V.#$ (a/n- I'm gonna skip some time, but I'm sure you don't mind THAT much, do u?)
Sakura sat down under a palm tree and looked over the ocean. Then her eyes widened. 'I remember this. This was my dream, except it's real this time.'
A twig snapped and a voice spoke. "Sakura?"
"Yes?"
"I have something to tell you"
He came and sat down next to her. "I..."
