One Night, Never Forgotten

--Hope is not Lost--
Recap:
Grinning, Tomoyo ran to him, screaming, "Eriol! Eriol! I have good news!"
He turned full length to Tomoyo as a mysterious smile crept to his lips.
"I have good news as well, Tomoyo!"
As the two embraced each other, they spoke at the same time.
"I can go to prom."
"I'm taking someone else to prom."
They smiled like fools until the words both of them spoke trailed to both of their minds.
Eriol's grin was wiped off…
On the other hand…
"NANI!!! (WHAT?!?!?)" With that, Tomoyo instantly fell to the floor.
End
After a few minutes of fanning the fainted being, she came to.
She smiled to everyone's surprise, "Oh, Eriol…I had this funniest dream where you said you had another woman to take to prom. I know silly of me, you'd never do that."
Sakura, Rika, Nakuru, Naoko, and Chiharu laughed nervously while Eriol being the dense one shook his head sadly.
"Iie(no) Tomoyo-chan…It wasn't a dream."
Her eyes widened and she managed to squeak out, "Oh." And with that she fell into the darkness once again.
After a while, they managed to bring Tomoyo back 4 times and it was the same thing all over again.
She would sigh in relief, think it was a dream, Eriol would tell her it's not, and she'd faint.
Frustrated, Sakura yelled, "Would you stop telling her that it was not a dream?!?! Maybe we can actually revive her this time!"
"Well, what can I do? It just comes out."
On the fifth attempt, Nakuru finally fished out her smelling salt while everyone gave her weird looks.
"Eh heh heh…what? I've fainted a lot of times…"
Everyone could've sworn that Chiharu sneezed the words, 'Druggie.'
Sakura brought the salt close to Tomoyo nose. It seemed to work since Tomoyo's nose twitched at the scent and her eyes began to flutter open.
Tomoyo looked around, blinkingly and glanced at Eriol confusingly. Rising on one knee, she got up and stared at Eriol for a few minutes before clinging on him, desperately.
"Tell me that it isn't the truth! Tell me you didn't ask another girl out!"
But it was hopeless, once again, Eriol automatically said it was the truth. Instead of flossing conscious, Tomoyo pounded her fist, sobbing uncontrollably onto his chest and screamed the words, 'It can't be true.'
--The Next Week--
(It's been a week since they started talking)
A shy smile covered the emerald eyed teenager as she read the caller I.D. It said: Li Syaoran.
Opening her phone, she said cheerfully, "Moshi Moshi Sakura Desu."
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan. Hopefully you didn't forget who this is?"
A giggle escaped Sakura as she answered happily, "No, I know who you are. That's what I have Caller ID for, silly. So what did you call for Syaoran-kun?"
"Oh so you don't want me to call you?." His voice was a tone of mock hurt, "I'm hurt."
A few minutes of silence followed and his voice spoke uncertainly, "Um…you still there?"
"…"
"Sakura-chan?"
"…"
"Well, in that case…I'M ALONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE! ALL ALONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'VE GOT NOBODY OF MYYYYYYYY OWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
An odd clattering sound and static sounded until a voice said, 'ah hah!'
Finally Sakura's voice emerged.
"What was that, Syaoran-kun? Gomen (sorry) my phone fell and all I heard was the 'EEEEEEEEE'."
Sighing at his actions, Syaoran told her it was nothing because it was pointless to explain, though she was very interested on what he had to say.
"Oh okay…you don't have to. So how old are you…" Teeming with fear, Sakura managed to whisper faintly, "Eh…you're not younger than me are you?"
"Oh I didn't tell you…I'm 16 years old."
As gullible as Sakura was, she took the comment seriously, "demo…Demo…demo (but)…you're too young to go to prom!!!!!!"
Syaoran appreciably chuckled at her reaction, it was one of those rare moments where he had had a piece of her personality to pick at…it was kind of…cute.
From behind him, smirking, long behold his crazy cousin, Meiling! Oh the devil who loved to blackmail and ridicule his life…his own flesh and blood! The dark demon, his cousin, MEILING!!!
"So…are we having fun teasing?" Meiling wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
Telling Sakura that he had another call on the line and not to hang up, Syaoran put her on hold and shot a murderous glare.
"And so my cousin the crazy imp who doesn't care not one thing about my feelings…doesn't have a life so she devises plans on spying and eavesdropping on private conversations? What a pity."
Her mischievous crimson eyes flashed menacingly, "I'm not the one who doesn't have a social life…oh! Wait a minute you do…sitting in your computer reading fanfiction romances! I knew it! I knew it! You're sooooooo gay!"
Shifting his gaze to his laptop, Syaoran neared strangely closer to his computer desk.
"Right…"he laughed nervously pulling down his laptop screen to hide the website he was on (fanfiction.net), "and what if I do read romances…I know you don't have one of those."
"Puh-leaseeeee…I have PLENTY of those to last a lifetime."
Syaoran suppressed a laugh and showed an evil fang, "Ah! But of course, which relationship number are you on? #1025? Hmm?"
Turning to leave she said proudly, "No it's boyfriend #650 to you."
"Oh so that makes…" Solving the equation in his head he yelled after her, "650-598= 52 boyfriends dumped in the last three days!!! My, don't you have a romance."
Picking up his cell, he got Sakura back on the line and mumbled mostly to himself, "Just because I read romances and dream of love…doesn't mean I'm gay."
Unfortunately, Sakura caught , 'I'm gay' part and shrieked. "Syaoran, what did you just say?"
"Oh, Sakura-chan, I said just because I read fanfiction romances doesn't mean I'm gay."
Realizing his mistake, Syaoran blundered that he was lying.
But nonetheless, Sakura thought of it as a cute weakness, "Aw Syaoran-kun! You are such a sweet guy! You read fanfiction too?!?!?! I thought females were the only ones!"
Relief washed over the embarrassed boy and he smiled slightly, "Ah yeah…I kind of do. What category do you read from…"
"Oh I read from…"
And so on the way they found out what their favorite colors were, favorite anime, and all the other off topic things.
It was nearly 11 at night when they realized they had been talking for six straight hours. Finally they decided to leave their conversation as is and talk about it tomorrow.
"Good-night, Sakura-chan. It was nice talking to you."
" I as well. Well 'Night, Syaoran-kun. Sweet dreams…"
"You too."
"Don't stay up too late."
"You too."
"Don't let me bite…"
"You too…wait…I wouldn't mind that."
Shaking her head, Sakura answered gaily, "Oh shut up and sleep."
"Not if you hang up first."
"No you."
"No you!"
"Okay okay okay, We'll do this together…one---two---three!"
But they both stayed on, holding their breaths and laughed when they knew they had both stayed on.
"Syaoran-kun! This is getting ridiculous." Sakura said after the fifth time trying to hang up.
"Hey, no one's stopping you from hanging up!"
Sighing, Sakura surrendered.
"You might as well win right now…but I'll get you next time."
As if something came over him, he whispered fiercely…almost seductively, "No I'll get you."
And with that Syaoran hung up the phone.
Sakura held the phone against her ear and plopped onto her bed, her heart beating rapidly.
Only a question remained in her mind, "Why do my friends always get the last word and hang up on me?"
Syaoran liked having a conversation with Sakura more than he'd like to admit. She was funny, charming, dense, and just so damn cute. He didn't know what came him when he said his goodbyes, but luckily Sakura didn't have time to voice her opinion.
He lay on his comforter and stared at the ceiling of his darkened bedroom, from the corner of his eye he saw a figure. At first he ignored it, thinking it was a fragment of his imagination until the figure talked, almost mysteriously.
"I take it that you like Sakura?"
Jumping from the bed, Syaoran realized the all too familiar voice, it was his cousin Hiiragizawa Eriol.
"Yo, buddy I know her and she's a very nice girl…break her heart and I'll kill you…"
Walking slowly into the light, Eriol sat on the chair next to Syaoran's bed, now showing the hateful expression in his eyes.
They were in silence for a whole 15 minutes, Eriol clicking his tongue impatiently.
Tension built and the apprehension was almost too much to bear.
"Would you just tell me why you're still in my room?" Syaoran narrowed his eyes in annoyance."
A sarcastic smile strained its way too Eriol's tight features, his mouth twisted in a fake smile.
"Oh nothing! It's just my girlfriend's angry and she won't talk to me and I've gotten my self into a mess…Did I mention that I hated you? And Oh! By the way…your advice sucks! I mean what kind of advice is this? …" Eriol mimicked a Syaoran impression, " 'You've got to ask the other girls before the pretty ones are taken'??? What kind of crap is that, Xiao Lang!?!?!? Tomoyo's all mad at me, thanks to you."
Syaoran sat up and said lazily, "Who asked you to take my advice and you're the stupid one. Didn't you remember what I said after? I said, 'Wait a few days to see if her mom would let her go.' But nooooooo you didn't. You just went and lasso another girl, making you the idiot!"
Fuming, Eriol stood up angrily and yelled leaving Syaoran's room, "You're no help!"
The door slammed and Syaoran smiled mockingly, bowing to no one in particular.
"Thank you, thank you…I'll be here 'til Thursday."
Rolling his eyes, he waddled to his laptop to check his email.
'Ah! Ten emails from botfanfiction.net. New Chapters, eh? Delightful. The things I do for privacy… '
Tomoyo's
Tomoyo stared blankly into her ceiling. Her life was soooooo down the drain. Too bad she already bought the prom tickets too! Her Eriol was a jerk! It was only less than two days since she told him that she couldn't go. How can he move on that easily without her?
Telling her tears to be remain unshed, she didn't lose hope in Eriol…maybe if he loved her enough he would give up his date just for her. Sighing, she smiled at the thought and slept.
But the next day, she was wrong…
Eriol lamely refused to drop his prom date, since it was too late for his date to find herself another one.
He reasoned that her prom would be more special next year than now and he would gladly go with her to that.
But that didn't satisfy Tomoyo. Her dreamy smile from the previous night had long disappeared to be replaced with an ugly scowl.
Eriol tried to touch her cheek and apologize but she only looked away.
She knew she was selfish, but right now wasn't the time to be polite, especially when she felt threatened by this other prom date.
Finally, Tomoyo gave up and walked away from the solemn Eriol.
Why can't he understand how I feel?
How can he do this to me?
Questions and no answers came to the damsel in distress as she sat stiffly with her friends. Apparently lunch was way out of her mind and nothing but plotting against her boyfriend invaded it.
Her eyes were sad as she glanced at Eriol from a far, getting to know his date.
Jealousy automatically sparked into her eyes, watching them have a good time, with not a care in the world, but no tears came. She was beyond tears and rage. She was deathly calm and dipped in the well of jealousy.
Suddenly, Eriol's good friend, Kazuo, sat next to her and tapped her on the back making her put her hand to her chest in fear.
"Oh…I didn't mean to scare you Tomoyo-chan." A twinkle of embarrassment lit his aqua eyes.
Mumbling that it was alright, she continued to stare at the direction of Eriol.
Sitting for the next two minutes in silence, he asked curiously, "Why's Eriol hanging with Hoshii?"
Tomoyo rose to her feet, defiance written upon her face, "So that's the home wrecker's name!"
"Umm…Tomoyo-chan? If you don't mind me asking…Who's the home wrecker? I didn't know you and Eriol had a home together…Is it large? Is it even in this town?"
Her face twisted into an incredulous expression as she spat out, "What the heck are you talking about, boy! I'm talking about Eriol's prom date!"
A look of understanding flashed across Kazuo's eyes as he smiled at her, "You know Eriol loves you, even if you don't go out to prom together…you are going to prom then are you?"
She impatiently nodded and a thought lit her head.
Smiling sweetly to Kazuo, she took his arm and asked him nicely, "Do you happen to have a date to prom, Kazuo-kun?"
Her bright amethyst eyes fluttered innocently at Kazuo, making him stutter.
"N-no Daidouji-chan…I have none."
Her glossy eyes shined with unshed tears as she said the next words, "Then would you be willing to take me to prom? Just as friends you know… I don't want to go alone."
Kazuo, couldn't turn down a sweet girl like Tomoyo, accepted, making Tomoyo jump up in joy with happiness. Kissing his cheek, her appetite returned and she went to the cafeteria.
Pressing a hand to his cheek, Kazuo smiled that he had made at least one girl happy.
ErioL
A sudden frown covered the blue-haired gentleman seeing Tomoyo kiss his good friend on the cheek. He knew he could trust Kazuo, but his common sense failed to look it over.
"What's wrong, Hiiragizawa-kun? Why is your face all red in anger? Don't you like talking to me?"
Hoshii, tilted her head to the side, her bangs fell slightly to the left, making her iris eyes dramatic with worry,
Eriol shook his head and breathed silently to calm himself down before smiling a charming one.
"No, It's a pleasure to talk to you, Hoshii-chan. But I must leave for now. It was really extraordinary to talk to you again."
Getting up from the bench, he noticed a faint blush covering the girl's cheeks, he prayed she knew he wasn't leading her on.
Waving goodbye, he left to talk to Kazuo, which turned out to be a very bad thing to do.
Syaoran
Syaoran sighed miserably, school was coming to an end but there was nothing to look forward to, except the phone call that will come later that night.
He didn't know what came over him. All of a sudden, he was sitting in Psychology class listening to the sensei's lecture, until he recalled the phone conversation the previous night.
He couldn't stand it! He wasn't supposed to cling to that phone conversation, but he found himself smiling at her denseness, her cute sense of humor, her genki attitude…to think about it, he loved everything about her…except! He didn't know her, or at least seen her.
So, how can you like the person you haven't seen?
Throughout the whole time, he realized something…HE HAD FORGOTTEN TO ASK WHAT HE SHOULD WEAR FOR THE BLOODY PROM!!!!!!
Sighing, he paid his utmost attention to the sensei, thinking that there was always the phone call he would be making tonight.
Sakura
(Where maixwolfblossom is involved as Hotaru Akiko the freshman LOL!)
Since the yearbook class was over, Sakura, Nakuru, and Hotaru were placed in a choir class. The only thing is, they never did anything in that class so they just relaxed in the windy breeze outside the classroom.
Nakuru looked through the fabric book, she flipped through the pages and decided on the purple diamond material for the dress, but she realized there were three different shades. Deciding it was hopeless she turned to the two of her classmates.
She whined about the different shades and which would look better on her, but Sakura couldn't decide since she was preoccupied trying to French braid, Hotaru's hair.
"Hotaru! I hate you! You're hair is sooooo stubborn! It can't stay in this style…well…it's not as bad as Nakuru…"
Catching the glare shot at her, Sakura smiled slyly, "You know I'm joking, booger brain."
"Yeah, whatever…so Hotaru, what do you think?"
Passing the catalog to the lowly freshman, facing Sakura she asked, "So, what are we going to do about transportation? Are we renting a limo? Or a rental van?"
"There are about 12 of us…so I think we need to discuss this. But I'm pretty sure Rika's date can take six of us, while we can take the rest in a van. We'll decide it with the girls."
Looking at the one who was not included in their group, Nakuru smiled fondly, "I remember when I mistaken you for a senior. When I found out you weren't it was a big surprise."
Sakura smiled, "Yeah, I was wondering why you weren't worrying about prom and graduation. I knew you weren't one of us when you gave us the brow. That was embarrassing."
Flipping through the three materials that Nakuru was still deciding on, Hotaru laughed, "I know what you mean. I don't get why I'm always mistaken on being younger in middle school, but here I'm being noticed as a senior…It's weird. And Nakuru, here's the material that you should choose."
Holding a piece of a deep shade of purple diamond material, all three of the friends agreed that it was the best out of the others.
Smirking, Sakura smiled deviously, "So why is 'big crotch' not smiling lately?"
It was a misunderstanding that Sakura had with one of Hotaru's friends Rioka Bourdon. Sakura said to Rioka that she had a big crush on this one senior guy and Rioka, having bad hearing, thought she said 'big crotch' and since then Sakura called her 'big crotch'.
"She's just confusing lately…I don't know what's wrong…maybe PMS?"
Thoughtfully, Hotaru added dreamily, "Are your dates going to bring you a corsage?"
At the same time, Nakuru and Sakura hastily asked, "What's a corsage?"
That broke that the daydream of their dear shocked friend, "You mean you've never heard of a-a- corsage?"
They both nodded curiously seeking the answers the young freshmen held.
"Well, it's that kind of bracelet thing that has flowers that match your dress. It's supposed to be romantic and your date has to match the flower on his suit to represent that you belong to him. sigh It's every girl's dream."
Nakuru and Sakura looked at each other and thought the same thing. They just had to get their hands on those corsages!
The bell rang, motioning that third period had ended, grabbing Hotaru's hand in thanks they greeted her goodbye as they left her to wander in her dreamy world of romance.
As she said, "Anything my friends…Anytime…"
ERIOL
"You did what?!?!?!?!?"
Kazuo looked inquiringly at Eriol. "She asked me out to prom. What could I have said?"
"Well, you could've tried…'no' perhaps…or was your vocabulary limited to such big words?"
His good friend was affronted by the reaction of Eriol.
"I was merely being a good friend and taking her to prom so she wouldn't go alone. Is that a crime?"
Eriol shook his head in fury, but took it the other way and becoming threatened by his long time friend.
Seeing the anger build within Eriol, Kazuo shook his head in defeat.
"Look, Eriol, if this is going to ruin our friendship…I don't think Tomoyo and I should go together. But man…cool down, it's just prom. Or is it that you don't trust me?"
Hearing no response, Kazuo turned to leave, "I'll be loyal to you Eriol. But what you're doing is wrong. Tomoyo deserves to go to prom and not alone. But if you don't trust me, then I guess I'll have to let her down. Just keep that in mind."
SAKURA
Later that night, discussions of transportations and dress colors, suit colors, and expenses were taken account by each girl to their prom dates. Unpaid bills were tabulating, short notices were being processed, why did senior year have to be this hectic!!!!
Sakura hurriedly asked Syaoran nicely if he had bought a corsage for her, hope springing within her exploding heart, but to her horror, he hadn't heard of one of those things.
Hinting the tone of sadness, he promised he would search everywhere just to find one of those thingies unless he knew the color of her dress, which she had totally forgotten the color of.
"It was…blue? No…Let's see….green? Not! Oh yeah! Yellow!!! Yes…yellow!"
But as soon as she hung up she remembered that her dress was pink but it was getting late so she resorted to sleep on it hoping that he wouldn't buy the thing yet.
TOMOYO
Tomoyo dropped her phone on the floor with a clatter. She couldn't believe that Kazuo turned her down as her prom date. Her heart tore bit by bit. Tears threatened to come, but she held back because crying would mean she lost all hope and Tomoyo hadn't.
Not yet.
