What meant to be a songfic one-shot turned into – THIS!

This last chapter (does anyone need an epilogue?) is dedicated to sweet elle , angie-chan (happy birthday!) and of course gabby-chan! Thank you for being my very very very very very NICE reviewer. Thank you!

Eriol, come back. Please come back to Tomoyo. She needs you. More specifically, she needs your love.

Sakura's tired voice entered Eriol's dreams. "Saku-chan?" he called out in his dream. Damn, but her powers were strong. Influencing his dreams and inserting herself...

"Saku-chan, where are you?" he yelled.

"Here, here," she called tiredly.

"She wants you back," said Sakura, smoothing out her clothes.

"She does?!?" Eriol was incredulous.

"Yeah, she does," Sakura smiled, "Come on Eriol, for once let yourself be happy."

"...that wasn't nice, Sakura," snapped Eriol, suddenly cold and insecure.

"Eriol-kun, you know I didn't mean-" Sakura was cut off by his deadly stare.

"Do you know what it's like to wield such power when you are completely powerless to watch the only one your heart delights in be with another?! Do you know how helpless I felt these past months? I couldn't have stayed, Sakura, my heart wouldn't have survived after all the barriers have been broken. Do you have any idea how unrequited love is like? When your loved one is so damn far away, their heart in another's hands?!?" He was roaring by now.

"Yes." The quiet reply calmed him down. He suddenly remembered Syaoran's fiancée, Syaoran leaving...and Sakura braving it day after day. Which gave him courage. Which gave him strength to accept Sakura's outstretched hand. For another chance at love with his violet-eyed, raven-haired angel. Tomoyo.

Tomoyo fidgeted. Normally she didn't, but now was not normal.

She was going to see Eriol again.

She was looking forward to his handsome face, his sparkling eyes, the dark blue locks curled casually against his forehead.

She had been such an IDIOT. She restrained the urge to run to the nearest wall and start banging her head against it. Baka.

She was so lost in her woeful thoughts that a tap on her shoulder nearly scared her to death. When she turned around, she thought she would faint.

"Eriol-kun..." she faltered. Her heart beat erratically.

He smiled uncertainly. "Tomoyo-san, thank you for meeting me here at the airport." He stared at the uneasy smile she was giving him.

She was starting to doubt all of this.

He was starting to doubt all of this.

And then, time froze.

Everything stopped, the clocks, the people, everything. It was if they were the only people left in the world- besides Sakura anyway, who had a glowing TIME and FLOWER Card in her pocket. And Eriol suddenly found himself holding a lavender flower. And plum blossoms fell around them.

"I...just wanted to say," Tomoyo started shyly. "...that I missed you." No! I love you! She tried again. "I mean...I...I..." Eriol awkwardly patted her shoulder. He gave the flower to her.

"Well, Tomoyo-chan-" he leaned down to whisper in her ear.

"I love you."

Tomoyo could hardly bring herself to look up. When she did, she saw his eyes tender and slightly unsure. And she laid her head on his chest lightly and wrapped her arms around him. "Oh, Eriol..."

He bowed his head to listen to the barely audible whisper.

"I love you too, so much."

His heart was going to burst with happiness. He wrapped strong arms around his angel and laid his cheek on her soft hair.

She began crying. "Eriol, I'm so sorry, I really am...I did not know how I could be so wrong. That I'd forgotten how to listen to my heart, when all this time it has been telling me you were the one. I wish I could take back all the pain I caused you and-"

"Shh...don't cry," he said, gently.

He bent down and kissed her. And Tomoyo was too shocked to do anything but kiss her one true love back.

When he pulled back, he frowned when he saw her eyes still brimming with tears. "Tomoyo, please don't cry."

"These are tears of joy." She hastily wiped them away.

Then she stood on her toes and kissed him again.
