"Bye Eriol!" Tomoyo waved to him.
"Bye see you!" Eriol said as he gets on the carriage.
"Bye, bye!" Tomoyo said one more time as the carriage went to its destination.
"I'm happy for you highness", Tomoyo turned around to see Hikaru who is wearing her coat.
"Hi Hikaru!" Tomoyo greeted as a cold smoke could see through her mouth when she exhaled. Cold. But her heart isn't cold anymore.
"Dinner is ready!" Hikaru said.
"Okay", was Tomoyo's answer.
~*~*~*~*~
That morning Nakuru went to the Daidouji castle. She and Tomoyo talk for a while about there will be a picnic near the lake. Where Eriol is there waiting for her. But what Tomoyo didn't know is it is Veronica and Nakuru's plan. "Really? Okay I'll just change my clothes", Tomoyo said as she went to her room.
~*~*~*~*~
Eriol was waiting near a lake. It was silent though. Until somebody covered his eyes from behind. "Tomoyo I know it's you!" he guessed. Tomoyo release her hand and sat down beside him.
"Good guess", she remarked.
"Come on let's eat so that we could talk things later", Eriol said. Tomoyo agreed.
~*~*~*~*~
After eating their delicious lunch and packed it up in the basket they lie down in the grass and just watch at the sky and the nature surrounding them. "Four days to go", Eriol began.
"Yeah. It will be our wedding day", Tomoyo said. "That is you want to marry me", she added.
"Sure. I will", he answered.
"If you do love me", Tomoyo reminded. He remained silent. 'I think he doesn't really love me', Tomoyo thought and sighed.
'I'll answer your question Tomoyo maybe when the right time comes', Eriol thought the same.
~*~*~*~*~
That next day Veronica stormed in Eriol's castle who she saw him eating his lunch. "Let's go!" she said. Eriol raised his eyebrow.
"Go? Where?" he asked.
"Oh for pete's sake's Eriol! You told me yesterday we'll buy an engagement ring for her!" Veronica reminded. Eriol slapped his forehead.
"Oh yeah! It was today! Right we're leaving!" he said not finishing his lunch and grabbed his coat.
"Honey you'll be home late?" Elaine his mother asked.
"No mom! I won't be long! Bye!" he answered giving her mom a kiss on the cheek. Then he and Veronica strode off.
~*~*~*~*~
They came to a jewelry store. Many things to choose from. Veronica was so noisy choosing jewelries here and there. Not to mention Eriol was getting sick. Until Veronica found a gift for Tomoyo. "Hey Eriol look at this!" Veronica called him as he too was busy looking for thing to be given to Tomoyo. He came near her.
"What is it?" he asked.
"A heart shaped necklace with amethyst diamonds surrounded by it. So what do you think?" she asked. He gave a slight laugh.
"So I'm giving an engagement necklace not a ring?" he said.
"It doesn't matter right?" she asked back.
"Fine. Let's take it", was all he could he say, as he told the shopkeeper that he'll take the necklace.
"You know what? She'll be happy when you give it to the engagement party tomorrow", Veronica said. Eriol looked at over his shoulder and smile.
"Yeah. Just like you. When I give the ring to you".
"Shut up", she looked away, blushing.
~*~*~*~*~
"Tomorrow mom? Engagement party?" Tomoyo nearly yelled.
"Yeah dear. Coz' on Friday you have to wear different kinds of gown!" Sonomi explained. Tomoyo groaned.
'It will be a long day tomorrow', she thought.
~*~*~*~*~
That next day everybody was busy preparing the food and decorating the house. As Tomoyo was helping baking some foods Hikaru and Mia went to her. "Princess are we invited to your wedding?" Hikaru asked.
"Why of course! Why not anyway?" Tomoyo answered.
"Told you Hikaru! Princess is kind", Mia said.
"Well I'm just making sure. Thanks Princess!" Hikaru said while Tomoyo gave a reassuring smile. Every close friend is invited and so Hikaru and Mia. They're kind to Tomoyo so why they are not invited? And besides even if they weren't told they can go to the wedding anyway.
~*~*~*~*~
Many people we're in the castle of that night. Chatting here, eating there. They have done eating dinner so some people grab a glass of champagne. Eriol was just at the corner eyeing her soon-to-be-wife. She was talking to Veronica and other people. After they eat Veronica apologized for they break their engagement and gave it to Tomoyo instead. She didn't say she doesn't love Eriol anymore. She keeps it to herself the reason why. Tomoyo was wearing a dark midnight blue satin dress; her skirt was filled with blue laces at the end matching her transparent nail color with silverish dust. It looked simple but beautiful with her hair pony tailed clipped by large beads of white pearls. She looked gorgeous. Eriol had a grin on his face as he approached Tomoyo. "Will you excuse us for a moment?" Eriol asked.
"Why sure!" Veronica answered for Tomoyo which she saw her frown.
"Thanks", he answered as Tomoyo grab her coat as Eriol lead her to the garden, which is the second one.
~*~*~*~*~
"So what are we going to do?" Tomoyo asked, curiously.
"Well...you don't mind closing your eyes?" Eriol asked. She didn't answer but do as she told. He went to her back and put the necklace on her neck. Tomoyo was so curious that she couldn't wait to open her eyes. "Okay you may open your eyes now", Eriol said. The moment she open her eyes she touch her neck and saw the necklace.
"Why Eriol thanks a lot!" Tomoyo almost yelled.
"It was supposed to be a ring but Veronica was right an engagement necklace wasn't bad after all!" Eriol explained to her. She hugged him suddenly and he returns the hug.
"So everything's fine?" she asked, whispering in his ear.
"Yeah. I'll marry you this Saturday because you love me", he paused for a moment. "And I love you", he finally said. He released as he brushed his lips to hers.
~*~*~*~*~
It was Friday as Tomoyo and her mom along with Hikaru and Mia planned to go to buy a wedding gown. Tomoyo was also sick when her mom will always say. "How about this? That?" she always shook her head as if she doesn't want to be married tomorrow. Also Hikaru and Mia sighed. It took long to choose a gown. Until a gown caught Tomoyo's eye.
"Mom that gown will be perfect!" Sonomi looked at the gown where Tomoyo point at. It was simple yet beautiful.
"Oh honey! You're marvelous! If you want that we'll take it!" Sonomi said. Tomoyo, Hikaru and Mia sweat dropped. Whatever Tomoyo wants her mom will give it to her immediately.
~*~*~*~*~
[Veronica's Point Of View]
It was Saturday at last. December twenty-five to be exact and it's the wedding of my ex-love-one-Eriol and his best friend Tomoyo. Actually I want to imagine I'm the one to be wed this day. Well about the deal...he won. We we're in the church as I approach him. "Hey!" I greeted.
"Hey...Veronica!" Eriol greeted me back. His eyes softened.
"So...I'm happy for you. You won our bet", I said.
"Yeah. Have you found 'somebody' yet?" he asked.
"Yeah. I have a crush on the best man Makoto! Ssh! It's a secret okay?" he gave a slight laugh.
"Okay".
"Good luck!" I told him.
"You too", he said. But I was shock as he pulled me in an embrace. So I return it back. After we hug it's time for the wedding to start.
~*~*~*~*~
I passed the aisle as the others we're following. Ring bearer's to flower girls to bridesmaids. Which I saw Hikaru and Mia who we're really happy for their Princess. To the bride at last. Tomoyo was there, standing with her gorgeous face lit up. Her gown was made with attractive designs, surrounded by little flowers. She looked with graceful flux as she lit the crowd with adoration. Her pure white dress dragged in the aisle, she was wearing a different beauty on her face, with white and pink flowers that she held with her hands covered by a clean, white, cotton gloves. Her hair is tilted down gracefully. She was good as a bride and soon to be wife. But I couldn't help that it was me, but I couldn't also help that they we're meant to be. As Eriol took her hand in the altar I noticed them smiling. I even noticed Makoto looking at me. I blushed faintly. But enough of that.
I was there to see them to be wed. I was there as they exchange vows, exchange rings. And also as Eriol kiss her. I didn't notice my tears we're falling. But they are not tears of sadness but happiness. I saw Makoto at my side. I was shocked really. He offered me a handkerchief. "I know it hurts Veronica but you have to move on", Makoto said, comforting me.
"Thank you Makoto but you see I've let him go already", I answered. He just nods.
"Shall we go and congratulate them?" he asked.
"Sure", was all I can say.
~*~*~*~*~
I first went to Tomoyo. I kiss her cheek and gave a hug. "I'm sorry", she whispered.
"No need. Be happy...promise me that", I told her. She released from the hug and nods her head. I went to Eriol and congratulate him too.
"Did you cry?" he asked me.
"No. Not really", I answered.
"I'm sorry", he said.
"Oh please! The both of you told me that", I said dramatically.
"But I'm the reason...why you cried", he explained.
"Forgive and forget Eriol that's all there is", I told him.
"Picture, picture!" the photographer said.
"Need to go!" I told him.
"Bye", he gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Oh by the way don't lose the ring", he added. I nod my head and went to Hikaru and Mia to have our picture taking with the newly-wed-couple. [End Of Veronica's Point Of View]
Tomoyo was standing at the left and Eriol on the right. He put his left arm around her shoulder while she was holding a bouquet of flowers. The photographer was still preparing while the others fix themselves. "Are you happy?" Eriol asked.
"Yes", she answered. "But Veronica-"
"Don't worry about her now. She has a crush on Makoto", he interrupted. She gave a slight laugh. "You know what?" he asked.
"What?"
"Okay ready. On the count of three. One..." the photographer said.
"I never knew what love is when I met Veronica and you", he finished. Tomoyo smiled.
"Two...three. Smile!" as the photographer flashed the camera. They smile...a perfect smile. And at last it was snowing. And they lived happily ever after.
