I'm falling into you
This dream could come true
And it feels so good falling into you
…
Falling like a leaf, falling like a star
Finding a belief, falling where you are

I hit the floor with a crash. Then one by one, the rest piled on top of me.
"Tomoyo! Have you been on your diet? OWWWW!! That was my hand Tomoyo!" It was Syaoran.
"Serves you right, sucker." She shot back.
"Will you stop squiggling, dear cousin?" I said to Sakura
"Yeah. You are making it more hard, Sakura." Syaoran agreed
"S-sorry, Eriol, Syaoran." She apologized.
These are the noise that we made. I smiled. Even though we are in this seemingly impossible situation, we 'managed' to have fun. As I struggled to stand up, I discovered that we landed on armor.
"What is an armor doing in Aunt Nakuru's house?" Then I also realized that we are in a dungeon. "We're in a-" I was cut off by a screeching, groaning sound.
"What's that?" Tomoyo asked, her voice trembling.
"I don't know…" I replied at her. I fought back the fear rising in my chest. I swallowed hard. "But I guess we better find out…"
As we dashed quietly to a stone archway, Syaoran peeked out. Then he looked at us, specifically Sakura and I, and asked. "Uh, guys? Is there any reason a knight in armor would be roaming down here?"
"Maybe that's Aunt Nakuru!" Tomoyo smiled.
But Tomoyo's smile was not enough for me to stop trembling. I replied to Syaoran. "D-did you say armor? I managed stammer. He looked at me with perplexed looks.
"We've heard stories." Sakura cries. "About empty suits of armor searching for a body"
-Syaoran-
Empty? How can an empty suit of armor get around?
"Maybe it's not empty." I said. I glanced out again. Tomoyo peeked beside me. The knight was standing in the hallway. He was trying to figure which way to go. Then he looked in our direction. That is when I noticed that his visor is up. I squinted to look into his face. All I can see is black. Then I heard the answer from Tomoyo.
"It's empty!" she shrieks.
The armor freezes. Then it headed straight towards us.
"Smart move" I hissed at Tomoyo.
"B-but it's empty. I-it can't hurt us!" She defenses.
"Yeah, right". I replied, derisively.
"Then how can it walk? We better go, or it will have four bodies to choose from…" I said as we darted across the hall to a thick wooden door. Once we were inside, we shoved the door shut, hoping that the armor gives up on us…
-Tomoyo-
I gazed around. I realized that the room we are in isn't exactly empty. A large dresser stands against the far wall. We all glanced at each other and nodded. As if reading each other thoughts, we approached it. There's some kind of lettering in the middle of the drawer. Sakura wiped away the dirt and read the words aloud.
"Helter-Skelter Drawer. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again."
"What does that mean?" Eriol asks. Hmmm…
"Helter-Skelter, doesn't that mean chaotic or sort of?" I thought aloud.
"Then let's leave that alone!" Sakura exclaimed.
But Syaoran slowly pulled the drawer. He groped around and was searching for something. Then he took out his hand. He showed something to us. It's a key! I took it away from him.
"Maybe it's the key Aunt Nakuru mentioned!" Eriol suggested.
"Check the drawer again." He added.
"No!" Sakura opposes. "Don't press our luck. Besides, maybe the armor has given up on us. Let's resume our search for Aunt Nakuru now."
"But we could find something more helpful on the drawer again." Her cousin disagrees.
"Or something that could kill us!" Sakura says furiously. I rolled my eyes and looked up to Syaoran.
"It's all up to you…" I said to him "You always seem to choose the right decision, anyway…"
-Syaoran-
Oh great…this is just I hoped she would say…I thought derisively…
"Well" I started. "Ummm …we have the key, so why don't we leave and try to look for Aunt Nakuru-" I was cut short by Sakura. Before I could say anything, she hugged me tightly.
"Yay! Thank you, Syaoran, thank you. I know you will choose wisely!" she said. I blushed, not only for the praise but also for the fact that she is clinging tightly to me. "uh…" I managed to utter.
"W-we better g-get going…" I heard a smirk and glared at Tomoyo and Eriol who was giving me a ' LOOK'.
"Oh sorry." Sakura apologized as she released me.
"It's okay" I smiled at her who in turn, smiled at me. Oh god, here we go again…
-Tomoyo-
This is so cute. I wish I had with me my camera. Syaoran is so funny. And Sakura is sooo dense. This is so KAAWWAAII!!! Oh! If I remember, Syaoran and me were trapped inside a movie. So this is not a good time or place to think of some unimportant things…but they are so kawaii…
-Syaoran-
As I managed to open the door with Sakura beside me (which is the by the way, very difficult because of the blush 'levels' I have to go through) I peeked around. The coast was clear. No dumb haunted armor.
"Why don't we go back upstairs?" I announce to the others, which they all agreed.
Sigh… I realized that in a very large and almost empty house, finding a staircase is almost impossible. And we have to look out for that stupid armor. Luckily it clanks so loudly so we can hear it and before it finds us.
"There has to be a way up." I complained.
"Not in this crazy, old house!" Tomoyo said, exasperated. I leaned on the wall in exhaustion. Then Eriol shouted. "Look out!"
Next:
-Syaoran-
First, getting sucked into a movie.
Then, encountering a bouncing ball & falling into an empty armor that walks.
And now, a talking black cat wants us to go inside an ancient torturing device to go upstairs.
This just gets better, isn't?
