p.a- Heya!! How're all doing?? I told ya I'd make it up to you guys and I'm not sure if this is what you'll call making it up, but ah well. Ah I have a sore throat and I'm gonna go karaoke next Thursday. Everyone's so excited to hear me rap…not. Ah shit, my holidays are sucking. I'm too lazy to continue Kingdom Hearts, but I will finish it…someday. Man, I swear I've been ditching those driving games for a while. Sigh. Still on strike for my steering wheel. ^___^ Sigh. Whenever I go arcade it gets me upset coz all those Initial D drivers make it look so easy to drive, shift gears and stuff, but when I try to imitate what they do, it doesn't work out. I swear I need someone to teach me all this stuff on cars and driving. But I was just saying to some kid before, sure, you just go to the arcade, tap anyone on the shoulder and ask them to be your teacher. You'll be lucky if you don't get a black eye. SO, any volunteers??? *sweet smile* Sigh, a lot of stuff to learn these days, but I dun wanna waste my childhood so yea, I'll try to do as much learning and have as much fun as I can get. Call me weird, but that's what I call fun, hacking and playing games and learning all that stuff. Ok, enough yapping and enjoy this story. I seriously am losing my touch…if I had one to begin with that is. But I reckon I'm a good author, not that anyone reads my stuff anyways.
Reviews: vickie: - Cool you seen it too? I love it. It's weird coz the weirdest things influence my life. I used to hate basketball and then I liked it after watching Slam Dunk. I hated Tennis and now I like tennis after watching Prince of Tennis. I used to hate street racing because I thought it was pointless and that cars were just a part of polluting this world but after watching Initial D, and then actually playing a racing game I get hooked. I also hated hacking because to me it was morally wrong and this is what I'm learning now. My friend introduced me to this site called try2hack and I'm currently stuck on level 2. Boy I suck, but I'm sure I'll get past it someday. Ok, sorry for talking so long, I'm a lonely person (^___^). Thanks for reading though.
Li Mei-Chen: - Hmm, 70wpm. Not bad. My friend can type 90wpm. That's scary though. Ya. I love drifting too and it feels so good to slide and crash into a tree. ^____^ I suck badly at drifting but oh well; practice improves your skill I guess. I remember the first time I started driving. Boy, I crash so many times it wasn't funny, but now I crash less which is good and I even know how to switch gears, sorta. Hmm, I like your Chinese name, what does it mean? I know Mei means pretty. Ah well, hope you'll enjoy this chapter. It's not as short as the last one…I think.
aaa:- Ya it's a continuation. Glad you like it. ^___^
not applicable:- Ya well, I know how it feels like to start getting lazy. Yep. I proofread this one twice (which I usually do, but somehow I still make mistakes). ^___^
amethyst sweet angel: - Hello. It's alright. I like your stories so yea, you don't have to read mine if you're not interested or else it wouldn't be fair if you were forced to read mine because I read yours, ne? I hope that makes sense.

Chapter 3: Cup of life
(the title gots nothing to do with Ricky Martin's song ok, so don't sue me. Jay Chou Rules!)
"Here's your strawberry milkshake Sakura, chocolate milk tea with pearls for Li and soda for the kids" Words came out of Eriol's mouth as he placed the drinks onto the table[you know, that lil' table that's in front of the sofa in the lounge room where you're meant to put tea and stuff. Our's is full of rubbish, most of the time all mine].
Eriol sat down with a cup of honey milk tea and rubbed his eyes. [Damn, his house sounds like Easy Way]
"So I see you still have that" Syaoran broke the silence and nodded towards Eriol's cup.
It was a cup Tomoyo gave him after being together for 1 year. He always used it no matter how gay it looked from other people's point of view for a man to use a cup like that. It was a plastic brown cup with two short honey legs, wide at the centre and for the lid it was a bear's head.
"Yes. I do believe what she said when she gave it to me." Eriol replied, bowing his head.
"What did she say?" Sakura asked innocently.
Eriol paused.
"She said that 'a cup' in mandarin is 'yi bei zi' which if you say it fast it sounds like forever in mandarin. She says that if you give someone you like a cup, you'll be with them forever."
"That sounds kind of like the teddy bear story Rika told us in primary school." Sakura blinked.
[Sorry to rant on. You can skip this if you want since it's not important. The cup Eriol has is a real cup. My cousin's boyfriend gave it to her and the mandarin thing, my cousin told me that.]
Syaoran looked at Eriol softly. [no, he's not gay]
"Honey, take care of the kids tonight, I'm gonna go take Eriol to a place and hang out alright sweetie?" He kissed her on the cheek.

Eriol followed Syaoran into a very dim lighted place. It was obvious that it was some kind of pub. Funny. He never knew Syaoran liked that kind of stuff.
Eriol slowly walked to one of the tables and sat down. He was obviously aware of a few women staring at him. Whether they were on drugs or were planning to shout him a drink and put drugs in it was a different story. Eriol yanked the chain off his neck and slipped the ring onto his wedding finger. Syaoran obviously had spotted this.
"You know that story Tomoyo told you is just a myth. It's just like that story about intertwining a strand of your hair with the person you love. If they stay together then you were meant to be, if they don't then you were never. I mean if you intertwine anyone's hair with yours it'll stay together" Syaoran spoke coolly.
"Iie. I believe it's true." Eriol shook his head.
"Oh yea? In which way? I mean you and her..." Syaoran answered back smartly.
"Li. Forever doesn't have to mean physically. It could be in the heart as well." Eriol replied clutching his heart.
"Hi. Welcome to Dream bar. Can I get you anything?" Tomoyo greeted the customers. She hated the waitress job, but she was paid double today because the other worker, Ada, called in absent. Probably faked a sickie and went off to some other bar for one night stands or something. Who knows. Well, the point is she was paid double and the shop wasn't doing really well these days, since it was that season of the year where no one felt like buying flowers.
"Yes, I would li- Oh Hi Tomoyo. Getting paid double again?" Syaoran smiled.
"Yea. Well, you know how it's like. So what would you and your f- Eriol" Tomoyo stared.
"Um…Hi?" Eriol stuttered nervously.
"Well how are you doing? I see you got married again." Tomoyo eyed the ring on his finger.
"Yea I did, and we are really happy together too." Eriol lied. Funny. You would've thought that after he had money again, he would've tried to get Tomoyo back.
"Oh that's nice. Well, I have to get back to work. What would you like?"
"Bloody Mary thanks." Eriol replied, trying not to cry.
"Why did you lie to her?" Syaoran scolded as soon as Tomoyo left.
"Because I don't want her to see me as a liar. In her heart, I'm always someone who was able to take care of her and love her." Eriol sternly replied.
"Baka. You just lost your chance." Syaoran crossed his arms and put on a grumpy look.
Eriol smiled.
"I don't mind. As long as she is happy I am happy."
The conversation ended between the two as their drinks came.
tzuku….
p.a- Yea, I know it's shorter than from what I usually write. Sigh. I'm really losing my touch. Ah well. I'm kinda tired now so I think I'll go take a shower and go to bed. Sorry about all those interruptions in between though. Well Oyasumi Nasai!!
