Disclaimer: I do not own CCS.

Hehehehe. I know I gave like no warning that I was making this story. I'm sorry.

BTW there was a question about why Sakura and Syaoran and everyone else don't know each other. It's because they're in an alternate universe kind of. Also, Kero is a human in this story.

Surfacing Memories

Chapter Two

Sakura's POV

It was lunchtime, and Yamazaki was at it again. "Hey, did you know that lunchtime was first determined by...!!!"

Sakura giggled as Chiharu once again was choking her cousin, the boy with black hair and never-opening eyes, Yamazaki. The girl brown hair done up into pigtails and had a cute smile when she wasn't trying to murder Yamazaki.

Looking over at Tomoyo, Sakura asked, "You said there were two reasons everyone was excited, earlier. What was the other reason?"

"Hm?" Tomoyo had been looking away. "Sorry what?" "What were you looking at?" Sakura looked over past Tomoyo and grinned, "Has Tomoyo found something interesting to stare at? Or should I say... someone?"

Hehehehe.

Sakura looked around quickly and found that nearly all the girls were staring at the duo eating their lunch under a large tree.

Her amethyst-eyed friend blushed and put a finger to her lips, "Shh... he might hear you." A few feet behind Sakura's best friend were two boys. Li Syaoran and Hirizigawa Eriol.

"Eriol?" Sakura mouthed at Tomoyo. When the girl nodded and blushed again, Sakura grinned and called out, "Li-kun! Hirizigawa-kun! Why don't you two come over and eat with us!"

Thank goodness she doesn't have a thing for Syaoran! I like him after all... what the heck am I saying? I barely know him!

"Sakura!" Tomoyo hissed. The two boys walked over, "Sure, we'd love to."

"Konnichiwa!" Sakura smiled. "You already know me, but this is Daidouji Tomoyo, Chiharu, Yamazaki, Rika and her boyfriend, Terada-sensei's son, Kero."

"Nice to meet you all," Eriol smiled while Syaoran just raised an eyebrow at the nearly dead Yamazaki.

Sitting down, Syaoran took out his lunch. It was.... Chinese food! (Surprise, surprise!) "Wow... those look delicious, who made them?" Sakura seemed fascinated. She rarely saw homemade Chinese food. They were mostly bought in stores...

"I did," using his chopsticks, Syaoran raised a special type of fried dumpling to her mouth, and surprising enough she ate it!

Oh my gosh. Did I... just... eat it? What's wrong with me? It's like I didn't mind at all... like I've known him all my life... except... I haven't... but then, why does he look so familiar? Why does he look so much like the boy in my dreams?

Syaoran's POV

What has gotten into me? Did I just feed her? But I don't even know her! Then why does it feel like I know everything about her?

Syaoran smiled at her, "Is it good?" Sakura just blushed and nodded.

Tomoyo, Chiharu, Eriol, Yamazaki, Rika and Kero were just there gaping at the two of them.

Noticing the eyes on the two of them, Syaoran changed the subject, "What were you all talking about earlier?"

"We..." Tomoyo turned an odd shade of pink and shot nervous looks at Eriol. "I was asking Tomoyo what was going in school that made everyone so excited," Sakura came to her friends rescue.

Looking up, Tomoyo smiled, "That's right. Tomoeda High is doing a school play." "Really?" Sakura squealed in delight. "I wonder what it's about."

"It's about a prince and princess meeting at a mask," Tomoyo's eyes had stars in them. "I think I'm going to try out to be costume manager... I might even try out to do the opening act, right before the play... sing a song..."

"Why don't you make it a duet?" Sakura's smile was evil. Syaoran's expression was now identical to hers, "Actually... Eriol, you play the piano don't you?"

Eriol's eyes widened, "Um... Syaoran..." "Oh... it'll be a great song if you two get to do it together!" Sakura smiled.

"Yes... of course..." Eriol shot Syaoran a look that was a mixture of confusion and happiness.

What's wrong with Eriol? He can't possibly still be thinking about Kaho...

The bell rang and they hurried into class, without another word. Chiharu was again choking her beloved cousin while blushes plastered themselves on the cheeks of Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran. But oddly enough, Eriol just looked distracted.

A star-shaped piece of paper flipped it's way onto Sakura's desk.

"Do you have a cell phone? If we text message each other it'll be easier than actually passing a piece of paper around."

Sakura nodded while pretending to read a book and began silently pressing buttons on her pink cell phone. On the back of it was wings and there were stars scattered all over the body of the cell.

Sakura: Great idea!

Syaoran: I know. I am a genius after all.

Sakura: So modest, aren't we?

Syaoran: You know it. I have millions of wonder traits, but the best of them all is my humility.

Sakura: LoL

Syaoran: LoL? What does that stand for? Don't tell me it stands for 'Lots of Love.' I got enough of that in China.

Sakura: Hahaha. Nope. It means laugh out loud.

Syaoran: But your not laughing out loud.

Sakura: You crack me up.

Sakura was having trouble keeping in her laughter, and her entire body shook with suppressed giggles.

"Kinomoto-san."

Sakura nearly jumped out of her seat, "Hai!"

"What is so funny?"

"Um... Studying about molecules is very... amusing?"

With a raised eyebrow, the teacher turned back to the board.

Sakura: That was a close one.

Syaoran: You laugh too much. Besides, molecules make you laugh? What kind of an excuse was that?

Sakura: You laugh too little. And it was an ok excuse!

Syaoran: How would you know?

Sakura: I haven't seen you laugh yet.

Syaoran: So?

Sakura: I bet you can't laugh.

Syaoran: Shut up!

Sakura: Mister Serious-Who-Has-No-Humor.

Syaoran: I do too have humor!

Sakura: Oh ya? Prove it!

Syaoran: Fine!

Sakura: Fine?

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Syaoran laughed out loud.

The teacher turned around, "What is so funny, Li-san?"

"Um... Studying about molecules make me laugh too...?"

Terada-sensei shot odd looks at the two of them, as did the rest of the class, before he shook his head and sighed. "Ok. Daidouji-san, please read page fifty-seven."

Sakura: Baka

Syaoran: Shut up.

"You want me to WHAT?!?!" Sakura and Syaoran shouted at the same time.

Tomoyo and Eriol were both grinning like the Chesire cat, "We think you two should audition for the two main roles in the play?"

"B-But," Sakura pouted. "Why?"

"Because, my dear," Eriol smiled at her. "We are trying out for the opening act, it's only fair that you try out for the play itself!"

"B-but," this time it was Syaoran. "Now go on," Tomoyo pushed him towards the auditorium. "Time to act!"

The two of them whimpered before entering the auditorium to sign up for tryouts.

Eriol and Tomoyo both smirked at each other, "Operation S&S forever... begin."

To be continued...

So... how was this chapter? I think it's pretty cool. =P
