The Mystery Of The Cookies
Eriol held the cookies in his hands as though they were his prized possessions. It was morning, and Eriol was wide awake. He was so happy that Tomoyo gave them to him.
Eriol slyly sneaked into the guest room, which Syaoran was supposedly to be sleeping in, with the box of cookies in his hand. There he found Syaoran sleeping like a log.
"Syaoran, look," Eriol said.
Syaoran didn't even make a movement. Eriol shook him.
"Syaoran, just open your eyes and look at this."
Syaoran turned around, with his back facing Eriol. Eriol wasn't gonna give up! He took a cookie from the box and placed the box on a table nearby. He held up the cookie and said, "Syaoran, look at this cookie."
Syaoran continued to ignore him.
Eriol put both his hands on Syaoran, and pulled Syaoran up. He then put the cookie in front on Syaoran's face.
"Look at the cookies Tomoyo made for me," Eriol chirped happily.
Syaoran just yawned and continued to have his eyes closed.
"Tomoyo made cookies for ME, no one else, just ME!" Eriol boasted happily.
Syaoran opened one eye, glared at Eriol, moved forward and...
Ate the cookie.
"SYOARAN, HOW DARE YOU?! TOMOYO MADE THEM FOR ME NOT YOU! GIVE IT BACK!" Eriol shouted at the top of his lungs.
"ERIOL, IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR WAKING ME UP. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going back to sleep, thank you very much."
"YOU WON'T SLEEP BUDDY, UNTIL I GET IT BACK."
"FINE!" and Syaoran opened his mouth, "Try and get it back."
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?"
"Your problem, not mine," Syaoran said.
"SYAORAN!" and Eriol nearly strangled him.
The door creaked open, and in came in Julian. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Eriol on Syoaran's bed with his hands over him.
"Am I interrupting anything?"
"YES! I AM STRANGLING SYAORAN!" Eriol growled.
"Can't gasp breath gasp let.go" Syaoran gasped.
"Oh, for a minute there, I thought you guys were up to something."
"Yeah, we are. SYAORAN ATE MY COOKIE!"
"Cookie? All this for a cookie?" Julian asked, surprised.
"YES!"
"Oh, get a grip Eriol. We can just go down to the shops and buy another one. What's the deal?"
"NO, THESE BOX OF COOKIES – " and Eriol stopped dead in his tracks as he looked over to where he supposedly left the cookie box.
"munch munch Hey Eriol, these cookies are nice. You have to tell me where you bought them..." Julian stopped, when he saw Eriol expression, "What's up?"
"YOU'RE UP, JULIAN! GIVE ME BACK MY COOKIES!" and Eriol wrestled Julian to the ground.
Syaoran sat back and watched. "Hmm," and Syaoran picked up the box and ate the remaining of the cookies, "hey, Julian's right. There cookies are nice..."
"SYAORAN! JULIAN! YOU ATE MY PRECIOUS COOKIES!" and Eriol chased them all over the house.
Syaoran, Eriol and Julian ran for school. They were late.
"We are soooo late," Syaoran muttered.
"I WONDER WHY!" Eriol said angrily.
Eriol had not got over the fact that Syaoran AND Julian had eaten his cookies.
"What's the big deal? Just go back to the cookie shop and buy it again," Julian said.
"THAT'S A PROBLEM," Eriol said.
"What's a problem?" Julian asked.
"GETTING THOSE COOKIES AGAIN!"
"Why?"
"TOMOYO GAVE THEM TO ME! Oh no...she's gonna hate me for not eating them...oh God, WHY ME?! WHY MUST I BE PUNISHED?"
"Hey dude, don't take it so hard," Syaoran said, laughing his head off.
"TOMOYO? That's weird...isn't she meant to be our enemy?" Julian said.
"SYAORAN IT IS NOT FUNNY!" and Eriol chased Syaoran all the way to school, with Julian following behind.
"Tomoyo!! What did you do to Eriol?" Sakura asked.
"Something...just wait and see...that should be the reason why he is late"
Even though it was late, their homeroom teacher had not arrived yet.
"I can't wait!" Chiharu groaned, "What did you do to them?"
Atthat moment, Syaoran burst in the room, with Eriol right behind him.
"I thought you took care of him," Sakura murmured to Tomoyo.
"Where's Julian?" Chiharu asked.
"Oh, aren't you keen on Julian," Sakura smirked.
Chiharu blushed. Then came in Julian. Chiharu blushed even more when Sakura glared at her.
"Um...um...yeah, Tomoyo, didn't you take care of them?" Chiharu said, ignoring Sakura's glare.
"But – but...they are meant to be..."
But Tomoyo never finished. At that point, their homeroom teacher burst in the room. Tomoyo was so confused. Why wasn't it taking effect?
"Ok, I am sorry I am late. Just a traffic jam. Is everyone present?" the teacher started.
"Yessir," Julian said out loud, as though he were in charge of the class, "I am – " but he stopped. He turned an alarming shade of green and looked as though he was about to vomit.
"Julian?" Everyone turned to look at him, except Tomoyo, who leaned back and pretended not to notice.
Eriol turned to Julian, then turned to Syaoran with a questioning look, only to see Syaoran with an expression which almost mirrored Julian.
"Need.to.go.to.the.toilet," and they both ran out of the room, leaving a strange smell in the air.
Eriol was the only one left in the last row. He saw Sakura's and Chiharu's giggling directed at him, but Tomoyo wasn't laughing.
Then all of a sudden, the three girls burst into hysterics.
Wait a minute...Eriol thought...there's something not right...Syaoran and Julian got affected and I !
"TOMOYO!" Eriol screamed.
Hehe...did it make you laugh? Maybe not...ha, well, it sure made me laugh!! I think I could just read this whole story again and laugh my head off, but that's just me...
