A/N: IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTES ON BOTTOM! and review response. Oh yes, and the customary...I'm so so so so sorry for not updating in ages! Please forgive me! Here's the story...
Updated 11-13-04
Half an hour later, everyone had gathered in the meeting area so they could be told what they were supposed to do that day, and to eat breakfast.
"Everyone, today we shall do a relay race! Here is the course." There was a whiteboard beside Tomoyo, courtesy of Eriol, and on it was the course. It wasn't that complicated. It basically involved two obstacle courses, one three-legged race, and one wheelbarrow race. The starter goes through the first obstacle course, and then tags the other person. That person goes through the other obstacle course, which when completed would bring that person back to the beginning. Then they tie together one leg each and go through yet another obstacle course, although this one is considerably easier. Once they reach one end of the course, they untie themselves and wheelbarrow back, going next to the course, not through it. Or, more simply, go through obstacle course, tag, go through other obstacle course, tie and walk through third obstacle course, and wheelbarrow back
to the starting point.
"Sakura, if you could please use Create so that we can start the race?"
"Ano (uh)... Daidouji-san? What are we going to do for the rest of the day?" asked Syaoran.
"Hmm... I never planned that... What to do..." Syaoran and the rest of the gang (minus Tomoyo) sweat-dropped. Knowing Tomoyo, that look on her face wasn't good news. It reeked of mischief, making Sakura and Syaoran scared. What could she think of? They didn't want to know.
"How about we... play Truth or Dare?" Tomoyo suggested.
"Sakura, why don't you use Create and make some board games for us to play?" Syaoran quickly interjected.
"Yeah, that's a good idea. What do you think? Monopoly? Trouble? Mouse Trap?" Sakura asked.
"How about Twister, and to make it harder, we'll put water on it? After we get tired of that we can just wing it." Eriol said. Sakura and Syaoran couldn't find any flaws in that, so they had to agree, even if Eriol had a look on his face that matched Tomoyo's.
So, they got ready for the obstacle course. Tomoyo had her camera set up so that it would record everything that happens. She hid it safely in a bush, on a tripod. Sakura and Tomoyo would start, and then Syaoran and Eriol would go second.
"On your mark, get set, GO!"
Sakura's POVI ran forward as soon as I heard the "g" in "go" and got to the first obstacle. Tires lying down. I supposed I was supposed to go through by putting a leg in each different hole, so I did. Then came more... random... things. I had to make a bed, separate laundry, put the trash into the bin, and then go around the cones and tag Syaoran-kun's hand. I blushed on contact, but luckily for me everyone was too busy to notice it.
Syaoran's POVI watched Sakura progress through the obstacle course, doing increasingly weird things. Wow, the Create sure has a big imagination. Then I saw her come nearer and tag my hand. I immediately took off. I ran through something that resembled a boot camp course. I had to scale a rock wall, repel down the other side, crawl through a tunnel, and swing across a curved monkey bar set that brought me back to Sakura.
Normal POVSakura and Syaoran tied their legs together quickly but fumbled with the knot. Tomoyo and Eriol were then caught up to them. As Sakura and Syaoran finished tying the rope, so did Tomoyo and Eriol. They went at the exact same time, and both groups took a couple steps to get their bearings.
Sakura almost tripped over their feet, and instead of falling...
Sakura's POV
I shut my eyes tight and waited for the impact with the ground... It never came. Confused, I opened my eyes and met Syaoran's amber ones. I saw Syaoran blush, but didn't have enough time to process this fact since I automatically said "Come on!"
Syaoran's POV
My eyes widened as I felt Sakura fall at my side. Almost as if in slow motion, I reached down and caught her before she hit the ground. I automatically blushed, and opened my mouth to say something, but she beat me to it.
"Come on!"
So I ran.
Normal POV
Soon both of them could jog lightly. Tomoyo and Eriol reached the point where they start the wheelbarrow part of the relay race, but they had trouble undoing the knot. Sakura and Syaoran reached the point and untied their knot quickly, giving them the lead. Syaoran grabbed Sakura's feet when she did a handstand and they started walking back to their starting point. Tomoyo and Eriol soon followed, but Sakura and Syaoran were in the lead. They reached the finish line first, and won.
"Nice try you guys! Ano (uh)...was there a prize?" Sakura asked.
"No, Sakura, there wasn't ... wait, there was. I almost forgot. The winning team has to play twister against each other."
"Oh... ok... That doesn't make sense..."
"Yes it does, Sakura. Now come on, we should start playing now," Eriol interjected, so that Sakura wouldn't get suspicious.
"Yeah, let's start now Sakura! We don't have anything else to do anyway." Tomoyo said. In truth, she had caught on to the plan. After all, what better way for Sakura and Syaoran to have fun and be caught in an embarrassing situation than Twister? (If you don't get it by now, you will very soon.) Sakura created a Twister mat, and a hose. She used the Watery so that there would be water for the hose, and the game began.
"Ok, right foot on yellow!" Tomoyo had said that she wanted to do the spinner, and Eriol was in charge of the hose and splashed everyone when he felt like it. (A/N: I don't have a Twister game mat with me, so I won't write what the different moves are, like left hand on red or something.) Eventually they were so tangled up that anyone glancing at them wouldn't be able to tell which leg or arm belonged to whom. Eriol chose that exact moment to spray them both down, hard, with a lot of water. Tomoyo, knowing what Eriol wanted to do, called out another move, this one being impossible for them to do. That didn't stop them from trying though.
"HOOOOOOEEEEEEEE!"
crash, smash, splash!
When Tomoyo and Eriol looked at the mat, they almost burst out laughing. Tomoyo, of course, was videotaping all of it.
Sakura's POV
'Hoe, that was totally embarrassing. Wait...' She blushed bright red. 'I'm practically lying on top of him! And I'm hugging him! Hoe!'
Syaoran's POV
'Whoa, what happened? Wait, is Sakura hugging me? Oh no, I must've made her fall during Twister.' (A/N: Don't they think alike? )
Normal POV
"Sorry! You go first. No you." They both broke off, and remained silent until Syaoran spoke up.
"I'm sorry for making you fall during Twister. So... what're you sorry for?" he asked jokingly.
"I'm sorry for... sorry for..." 'Hoe, what do I say? I can't exactly say, "I'm sorry
for lying on top of you and hugging you!" That's way too blunt, not too mention embarrassing!' Sakura thought. Then she tried to continue. "I'm sorry for... wait, why did you say you were sorry?"
"Ah, well, I made you fall during Twister and I'm sorry since when you fell you got soaking wet and-"
"My turn to interrupt you!" Sakura said teasingly. "You didn't make me fall. If anything, I could've made you fall, but I think that we both slipped at the same time. So, apology accepted. I guess. And, ano (uh)... I... I..." Sakura was turning redder by the second.
'Come on Sakura, it's not so hard. Just say it! I like you, I like you, I like you! Hey, where'd Tomoyo and Eriol-kun go?' (A/N: Yes, her brain wanders.)
"... I... wonder where Tomoyo and Eriol-kun went?" 'Real smooth, Sakura! That was really stupid!' she mentally berated herself.
"Yeah, where did they go? Why do I have a feeling that this is not good for us?" Inside Syaoran was having a mental war, literally.
Syaoran's mind
Was she about to say that she likes me? Nah, she could've just been thinking while talking and lost track of what she was about to say.
/Now, now Syaoran, I thought you got smarter over the years!/
You're back again? Get out!
/I'm going to ignore that. You know Sakura never loses track of what she has to say
anymore, or at least not as frequently./
Whatever, just shut up! You're annoying!
/Ah yes, but what you're really saying is that you yourself is annoying, since I am you./
Grrr...
/And you know that you think she likes you./
No I don't.
/Yes you do./
No!
/Yes./
NO!
/Fine, fine, say what you will. But you still know what you hope./
And I'll say it again. Whatever. I'm going to ignore you now.
/You can't lie to yourself./
Yes I can.
/I thought you were going to ignore me?/
Argh!
/And you just admitted that you are lying to yourself./
/Aw, come on now, don't ignore me./
I can and I will. And I did not admit I'm lying to myself!
Where Tomoyo and Eriol are
"Hmm... I wonder how we managed to sneak away without them noticing... Oh well, that means we have time to practice that song. Eriol, you did bring the stuff?"
"Yeah, I think so. Let's see. I have the mini piano, the Song Card, the Big Card, the Little Card, that's it right?"
"Yup, let's get started." They enlarged the piano, and asked the Song Card to play the song for them twice. Eriol started playing the intro to the song, amazing Tomoyo.
"Wow! You got it after hearing it twice? And you're doing the harder job too!"
"It's nothing... really. After all, I suppose you already have all the lyrics memorized and will be able to sing it wonderfully." Eriol had blushed lightly, and his comment made Tomoyo blush, too. An uncomfortable silence followed, but Tomoyo interrupted the silence.
"Ano (uh)... We should really start practicing before Sakura and Li-kun notices we're gone." They finished practicing and headed back.
A/N: Yes, I took forever and a day to update this. And I'm sorry! But I'm really not into CCS fanfics anymore. I've become a Harry Potter Lily/James Potter addict. So whenever I'm on the computer, I'm reading Lily/James fanfics. Sorry! I'm also thinking of taking this story down, but I'm not sure yet. It's really plotless, pointless and not even that fluffy or funny. Not to mention that I'm really quite busy with school and photo club and I'm going to high school next year, meaning that I have to try to get into a good school since my public one stinks. And of course, doing that requires studying, to pass the entrance test.
Thanks to my one faithful reviewer, Aldalote! (If you want to know how the story goes, I could just e-mail you the chapters, seeing as I'm basically wasting space on )
So, I suppose if I don't get a sudden surge of reviews, I'm taking this story down and e-mailing those who want to still read it. It doesn't waste as much space on ... and I don't even really like this story...
Ja, maybe for the last time,
Crescent
