(A/N: Chapter 17, LAST CHAPTER! Short, but I hope you'll like it.)

Eriol walked down the streets. Tomoyo had just set off to her ballerina class. She was scared, really, and Eriol wanted to accompany her to the class.

But Tomoyo decided to go there herself and solve her problem on her own. Eriol smiled. How he loved Tomoyo when she's strong.

He walked down the streets and passed by a jewelry shop. He stopped and spotted a crystal heart-shaped pendant. He imagined Tomoyo wearing it. She'll look gorgeous.

That's right. He had not given her any present since his miraculous incident. That's right, he's going to give a necklace with the pendant to Tomoyo. He'll help her wear it and kiss her on her cheek. Then, he'll say he love her.

Yes, he's going to do all these.

Tomoyo bucked up all her courage as she stood outside her dance classroom. She put her hand on the door handle. Then, with all the courage she'd with her, she opened the door.

"SURPRISE!" Tomoyo blinked a few times, blankly, as papers and balloons floated everywhere in the room. Did she enter the wrong room? She looked around. No, those were her ballerina mates. So why did...?

"Surprised?" Asked Meilin as she sneaked out behind Tomoyo. Tomoyo nodded her head furiously as she felt her face lit up. Meilin grinned. "We don't mistreat students. We surprise them." Then, Meilin turned around at the other ballerinas in the room. "Ready, girls?" She asked in a loud voice as heads nodded. "One, Two, Three!"

"Welcome to Studio 1!" They all cheered loudly. Everyone started crowding around Tomoyo and shook her hands. The teacher, Mrs Garrison, was laughing her head off.

"Miss Daidouji, I hoped you didn't get a scare yesterday! I'll call you Tomoyo. Anyway, Tomoyo, sorry for 'mistreating' you. It was all Meilin's idea." Said Mrs Garrison as she winked at Tomoyo and Meilin stuck out her tongue. "And don't worry, you were DEFINITELY great yesterday." Said Mrs Garrison in a cheerful tone as everyone around agreed.

Then, all of a sudden, Tomoyo cried.

"What... What happened?" Asked one blonde-haired girl. "Did we make you unhappy?" She asked anxiously.

"No." Tomoyo replied as she wiped off her tears. "I felt overjoyed."

Mrs Garrison, Meilin and the blonde-haired girl and the other ballerinas looked at each other.

Then, they all laughed.

This isn't going to be bad. Her road towards fame for 'Life of Dance' isn't far anymore.

While everyone was happily laughing away, Tomoyo's mobile rang. She walked away from the celebrating crowd and received the call. She looked at the screen. She didn't recognize the number.

"Hello?" Asked Tomoyo in English with a Japanese accent.

This is ABC Hospital. Is this Miss Daidouji Tomoyo? The speaker on the other side of the phone asked.

"Yeah?" Tomoyo replied. He heart was pumping madly, as though she knew something bad was happening, because her eyelids were twitching.

Are you a relative to Mr Hiiragizawa Eriol? We found your contact number in his handphone.

"Yeah, I am." Tomoyo replied. Meilin spotted Tomoyo alone and walked towards her.

Great. Mr Hiiragizawa had met up with an accident.

"What?" Tomoyo asked in surprised. Meilin rushed up to her and was surprised to see tears forming at the brimmed of Tomoyo's eyes.

"Daidouji san?" Asked Meilin as she bent down and look up at Tomoyo's face.

Can you please come down and...

Tomoyo wasn't listening anymore. She put down her phone and stared at the air blankly.

Eriol?

She turned around, grabbed her bag and rushed out of the room.

"Daidouji san!"

Tomoyo ran and ran. This can't be happening. Why is Eriol caught up with an accident again? Why? WHY?

Tears dripped down her cheeks. She ran and ran. Then, she hailed a cab and rushed in. She forced herself to speak out the location of the hospital to the driver.

She continued crying. She's losing him again. Didn't he promise her not to leave her again? Why, why is this happening to her?

Soon, the cab reached the hospital and Tomoyo got off it in her fastest speed and dashed into the hospital. She looked frantically around and rushed towards the information counter until she heard his voice.

"Tomoyo!" Tomoyo froze for a moment, then she turned around. It was Eriol. He was right there, all right.

Is she seeing his ghost or something?

Tomoyo didn't cared about it. She ran towards Eriol as he smiled at her.

"Sorry! I had a car accident and fainted. Guess I twisted my ankle and somehow, my wallet was missing. I'm useless, aren't I?" Asked Eriol as Tomoyo kept quiet. "Tomoyo?" Eriol called.

Then, out of a sudden, Tomoyo hugged Eriol tightly as tears poured out of her eyes.

"Chill down girl!" Cried Eriol as he felt his face hot as everyone around them looked at them. "Everyone's looking."

Tomoyo continued hugging onto Eriol. Tighter than ever.

"I thought I was losing you again." Cried Tomoyo, as Eriol looked surprised. "I thought you were about to leave me again! I can't afford to lose you, Eriol. I..."

Everyone around them stared at the couple as Eriol stopped Tomoyo with a kiss then went into her throat. Tomoyo was shocked, but cooperated with him and started playing with their tongues. He held her tightly in his arms.

They stopped and looked into each other's eyes.

"Please, don't scare me anymore." Tomoyo pleaded.

Eriol nodded his head, and reached his lips onto hers.

They no longer cared who was around them. All they wished was to be with each other forever.

The world was vast, but they found true love. Someday, they will both find the way to fame – the way to make 'Life of Dance' known worldwide – together.

Eriol and Tomoyo walked down the streets together. They were smiling at each other. The street was empty, only the two of them was there.

Eriol suddenly stopped walking and took out a box. Tomoyo stopped walking as well. He held the box in his hands and took Tomoyo's hands.

"Though I had lost my wallet, but I still have this with me." He said, and gave it to Tomoyo. "Open it."

Tomoyo nodded her head and obeyed. She moaned in happiness.

"I'll help you wear it on." Eriol offered. He took the necklace and helped Tomoyo to wear it on.

"It's... Beautiful." Said Tomoyo as she stared at the heart-shaped pendant on her chest.

"Not as beautiful as you, though." Tomoyo blushed and smiled. Eriol smiled back and kissed her on her cheek.

"I love you, Tomoyo." Said Eriol. Tomoyo was surprised a little, but she smiled and nodded her head.

"Me too."

They kissed. A long, passionate kiss. Flashes of images appeared in Eriol's mind.

He ran and accidentally bumped onto Tomoyo and they both fell back onto the floor.

"Itai...! Sir, where are your eyes?! Can't you see where you are walking to?!" She cried.

"The dance I was practicing just now is ' Life of Dance '." She said as she paused for a few seconds. "The dance was created by my mum, Daidouji Sonomi." She said as she sniffed.

"Why can't I even dance in front of everyone?! How am I suppose to keep my promise like this?! Doshite?! Doshite?!" Cried Tomoyo as she hugs Eriol. Eriol sat here, shocked by Tomoyo's action and blushed bright red. All he knew he could do is give her back a hug and calm her down.

"Hiiragizawa..." Said Tomoyo as she looks up at the sky. "Hey look! A shooting star!" Exclaimed Tomoyo as she points at the star. "Hurry up, make a wish!" Said Tomoyo as the both of them closed their eyes to make a wish.

"What did you wish for?" Asked Eriol curiously.

"Nah! I won't tell you! It's a secret." Said Tomoyo. "And what's yours?"

"Nah! It's a secret!" Said Eriol as Tomoyo giggles.

"Being with someone you love, is happy, right?" She asked.

"Perfect, Tomoyo!" Said Eriol as he gave her a thump up.

"Arigatou, Eriol!" She thanked.

"When on earth did you called each others' name?" Asked Kaho.

The two friends looked at each other and smiled.

"Unknowingly!"

They danced happily, with smiles on their face. They then realized that they were looking at each other eye to eye when they stopped. Yet, they didn't move.

Their face went closer and closer until Tomoyo realized what they were doing and snapped away.

He smiled and looked at Tomoyo. She's really cheerful, unlike the Tomoyo she had seen in school.

He really wants to hold her hand forever.

"Don't worry, I'm with you." He confronted.

Eriol tripped over.

He landed onto Tomoyo.

Their lips met.

"I..." Tomoyo stammered shyly. "I... I love you!"

Eriol froze. He could not believe his ears. "What did you say?" He asked.

Tomoyo looked at him. "I SAID I LOVE YOU DUMMY!" She screamed, blushing furiously. "It's true." She added in a softer but clear tone.

They stopped kissing and hold their hands tightly.

He squeezed her hand tight while walking in the streets. He had just got out of the hospital, and he had just felt how important life was. How it felt to be loved, and how it felt to love somebody.

"It hurts, you know?" Cried the soft voice beside him.

"Gomen," Eriol apologized to Tomoyo, but still wouldn't let off his grip. "But I don't want to let you go."

Tomoyo looked at him, and smiled.

"Don't worry," Said Tomoyo happily as Eriol looked at her. "I'll never leave you, never."

They both prayed in their hearts that they would be able to live together, to complete their dance together, and together, they would complete their-

Life of Dance.
