Help me to forget
Hey everyone, I'm here again whether you like it or not (hahaha, joking)
Well, before starting, I would like to thank you for your reviews, you cheered me up, you know?
RuRu: Well… thank you. I also prefer Tomoyo & Eriol over Sakura & Syaoran, they're much cuter. (Sorry for the ones that like SxS that's the truth, and if you think I'm wrong, then sue me. No, no, don't [kneels and starts pleading])
ILUVRONWEASLEY: I hope I can help you to get more ideas 4 ur fics, I'll also try to make the story more detailed. Now, I'm not very good with the summaries and I would gladly accept any help you wish to give me.
Suki: Well… thank you for your advises. Mmm cliffhangers… I hadn't think about that… I suppose that's a good idea. I'll put them net chap, just to see how they work.
Thank you very much. Please review after reading the story and write me your opinions, whether they're bad or good, so I'll be able to improve my writing.

Chap 5 The festival
"Tadaima!!" Said Tomoyo when she entered to her house, she took her shoes off and put her slippers on.
"Okaeri nasai" Answered her mother from her study.
"Okaa-san, I didn't expected you to be here." Said Tomoyo.
"Well, I was just looking for some papers that I needed and then I'll go back to work."
"Okaa-san… I'm going to a festival with Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol."
"Oh, is Eriol already back?" Sonomi said still looking for her papers.
"Hai, okaa-san."
"Well, go on, but don't come back too late ok?" Said Sonomi as she find the papers she needed. She said good bye to her daughter and left.
"Hai"
After Sonomi left, Tomoyo went to her room made her homework and at 7o'clock she prepared to go to the festival.
"What should I wear… oh, yes, this one." She took out a beautiful lavender kimono with a white underneath. The kimono had a blue and white waterfall that went from the waist all the way down to the bottom of the kimono and had pink sakura petals as if they were going down in the waterfall. At the bottom of the waterfall there were some blue and golden waves. It also had little stars all over the kimono. The obi was dark blue and had silver quarter-moons and the obijime was silver as well. She put her white socks and her slippers. She put her hair in two buns at each side of her head and left a few strands dangle in front of her ears.
She looked herself in the mirror and smiled.
"Well, I think it's time to go." She went down stairs and she was about to open the door when the doorbell rang.
When she opened the door she saw Eriol smiling.
He was wearing a dark blue and black kimono with suns and moons on it.
"E-Eriol, weren't we suppose to meet at the temple?"
"Well, yeah, but I just wanted to pick you up." He said to her. With that comment she blushed a light pink. 'Gosh, she looks beautiful.'
"I shall say you look stunning tonight, my dear friend." Tomoyo blushed even more.
"Tha-thank you, you too." Said Tomoyo a little embarrassed.
"Well… shall we go now?" he asked.
"Wait just a sec." And she took her camera and her purse, put her shoes (A.N. You know, the wooden ones they use when they're wearing a kimono.)and she left with Eriol.
^^^at the festival^^^
"Sakura, Syaoran over here." Shouted Tomoyo to her friends that were late.
"Hey Tomoyo, Eriol. Sorry for being late, but Syaoran and onni-san started fighting again." Sakura glared to Syaoran.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault, he started everything." Syaoran said crossing his arms.
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore. Lets have some fun." Said Sakura as cheerful as always.
"Yes!" Said Eriol, Tomoyo and Syaoran at the same time.
Sakura and Syaoran went in front hand in hand while Eriol and Tomoyo were behind, and as always Tomoyo was taping everything.
"So… what do you want to do first?" Asked Eriol.
"Well…lets play some games." Said Sakura.
"Lets go to that one." Said Tomoyo while pointing a place not too far away.
^^^At the post^^^
"So… what do you have to do here?" Asked Sakura when they arrived.
"You have to sink 5 basketballs in the ring and you can take any stuffed animals for prize." Said the guy of the game.
"Oh, Syaoran, could you get me that cute dog, please?" Said Sakura putting her puppy eyes.
"Yes Sakura." Answered Syaoran smiling a little. "How much it is?"
"It's two dollars."
"Here you go." The man gave Syaoran the ball. Finally he sank the 5 and he got Sakura the dog she wanted.
"Thank you Syaoran." Said Sakura and gave Syaoran a kiss.
"Do you want one Tomoyo?" Asked Eriol.
"Uh?" Said Tomoyo snapping back to reality. "Don't bother-"but she was cut by Eriol.
"My pleasure." He said and paid the man the two dollars. He got the 5 in and asked Tomoyo which one would she like.
"I think the black panther over there." Said Tomoyo smiling.
"Yeah, I liked that one too."
The man gave her the panther and they left.
"Well, what now?"
"Why don't we try our shot?" Suggest Syaoran.
"That would be great." Said Sakura.
"While you do that, I'll go for some sodas for all of us." Said Tomoyo.
"I'll go with you." Said Eriol. And they went to get the sodas.
^^^At the soda's post ^^^
"Are you ok Tomoyo?" Asked Eriol.
"Uh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"You've been a little weird since Sakura and Syaoran arrived." Said Eriol with concern.
"Oh, do you really think that?" Asked Tomoyo, Eriol nodded. Tomoyo sighed. "I suppose seeing them together just makes me sad."
"Don't get me wrong, I like them to be together, it's just…" She looked down to the floor. "Never mind, if Sakura is happy, then so am I."
They paid the sodas and went to where they had left Sakura and Syaoran.
"You know what…" Said Eriol looking to Tomoyo.
"Mmmh?"
"That concept of yours, that if she's happy, then so are you… I think it's all wrong."
"Why? That's the truth." Said Tomoyo a little shocked by his comment.
"No, it's not. I think that everybody has to look for her or his happiness, his or hers own happiness. You can't be happy just because she is and you know it." Said Eriol calmly, "Tomoyo… stop lying to yourself."
"H-how can you say that…" Said Tomoyo looking directly to Eriol's eyes. "What I said is the truth, and the truth only."
"No, it's not. I can see in you're eyes all the sorrow you've carried for all this time, don't try to lie to me 'cause I know you better than anyone else."
"Stop saying that, ok? What I feel is non of your business, besides what I said is the truth and that's it." She said this a little angry.
"Listen Tomoyo, I just don't want you to suffer for something that is senseless, I want you to be happy because I… I…"
"You?" Said Tomoyo getting calm.
"I… care for you too much, you're my best friend and I want you to be happy. I'll help you to find what you need to be happy, but first of all you'll have to let Sakura go."
Tomoyo said nothing about it, instead, she remained quiet all the way until they found Syaoran and Sakura.
After being in different games and winning some prizes, they decided to go to a quiet place to sit down. They went to the shore of the Mikazuki's temple lake and sat down. They started talking and eating what they'd bought a few minutes ago, but Tomoyo seemed to be deep in her thoughts.
'I can't be lying to myself, can I? I mean, I'm happy for Sakura, and her happiness is mine, isn't it?'
'No it isn't' Said Tomoyo to her self. She was like arguing with herself.
'Yes.'
'No, if her happiness were yours, you wouldn't have cried when she became Syaoran's girlfriend and she had not enough time to hang out with you. You wouldn't have felt so alone when Eriol returned to England.'
'Maybe Eriol is right, maybe I have to look for my own happiness.'
'Yeah, the faster, the better. And if you want to know my opinion he's quite cute you know?'
'Hey, stop that, he's only my friend!'
'Yeah right, and pigs can fly.'
'Anyway, I must start looking for my own happiness.'
'Ah, now you understand me.' Hey, that was Eriol's voice, was he listening to all what she had thought?
'Hey you little… stop listening to my thoughts!' As she thought this, she frowned.
'Ok, ok I was curious, that's all.' He thought smiling. 'You seemed to be off.'
'Well, don't.' She put her hands in her waist.
'Ok, ok' He thought this and started laughing. 'Sooo… what where you saying about me being cute?'
"Oye." Said Tomoyo a little annoyed. She crossed her arms and turned to face the lake.
Sakura and Syaoran were watching all this scene and ended confused.
"Hey, what's going on?" Asked Sakura.
"Nothing." Said Tomoyo and glared at Eriol.
'Keep out of my mind or I'll kill you, and I'm not joking' Thought Tomoyo. This, of course was for Eriol who just sweat dropped.
