The entire time in the car during the drive to the chapel, Tomoyo and Eriol were just going on and on and babbling about stuff, never giving Syaoran and Sakura the chance to say anything.
They were being bombed with questions by Tomoyo and Eriol. Then a song came on the radio:
Spring is here,the sky is blue.
Whoa! the birds all sing as if they knew.
Today's the day, we'll say, "I do"
and we'll never be lonely anymore.
Because we're going to the chapel and we're gonna get married.
Going to the chapel and we're gonna get married.
Gee, I really love you and we're gonna get married.
Going to the chapel of love.
(I know it's a cheesy song but my friends did a dance to it for the school dance show and they were dressed like brides and grooms and they were forcing the guys to marry them and it kinda reminded me of this!)
When Syaoran heard the song he got caught up in his own little world. He was deep in thought.
But then Sakura just got impatient and yelled, "QUIET!" And then the whole car became quiet and Eriol pulled it over. "Ok we need to tell you guys something."
Before she could continue she was interrupted by Syaoran. "We want to thank you for everything you did to get us together."
Sakura was a little surprised by what he said and even more at the way he said it, he was so calm. Tomoyo started sobbing "Oh! You're welcome! That was such a beautiful speech."
Eriol's eyes were beginning to get teary as well. "It was no problem. We had a lot of fun playing cupid!"
"Well, yeah we want to thank you guys for getting us together but there's also something else we wanna tell you. We're not-" Sakura tried to tell them again but got interrupted by Syaoran....again.
"We're not gonna get married unless you guys are our Best Man and Maid of Honor."
"Oh..." Tomoyo was now seriously crying her heart out. "Of course!"
"We thought you'd never ask!" Eriol was about to cry. "You guys are like the perfect couple! You were made for each other and we would be honored to be a part of your wedding! Well then why are we waisting time just sitting here? Let's get going!" He started the car and they were on their way to the chapel again.
Sakura's mind was jumbled with questions like 'what is he thinking!' 'Are we really going to get married?' 'Why didn't he tell them the truth?' 'And why is he just sitting there smiling at me!?' Sakura was now very shocked and was staring at Syaoran who was smiling at her with affection. It was almost as if she was hypnotized by his smile. Her mind went blank and all she could think about was his smile, his eyes, his face.... him.
Wile they were just staring at each other Tomoyo and Eriol were having a private meeting of their own in the front seats. (I betcha you wanna know what they're talking about huh?)
Just then Tomoyo broke Sakura's trance by yelling "We're here!"
Sakura's mind was just racing! She was pulled out of the car by Tomoyo and dragged towards the chapel.
Then she was stopped by Syaoran who said, "Tomoyo, do you mind if I have a little chat with Sakura first?" Tomoyo just smiled and let go of her hand. She ran over to Eriol who was standing by the door of the chapel.
"ok, do you wanna tell me what is going on? Because we're not really planning on getting married!" Sakura looked at him but he just smiled at her and kept silent. It was then that she caught on to what he was thinking. He wanted to get married. "You can't be seriouse! You wanna get married?" Sakura tried to stay calm but she was beginning to freak out. She looked over at the door to the chapel and saw that Tomoyo and Eriol were already inside and talking to someone. "You've lost you're mind!" She threw her hands in the air and turned on her heel to walk away!
Syaoran grabbed her wrist and turned her around.He took both her hands into his and said, "Sakura, I love you. I have for eight years now. You're all I can think about day and night. When I'm with you I feel like I'm complete. You are so funny, beautiful, intelligent, and kind. Sakura, you're an amazing person. And just the thought of not being able to be near you, to touch you, to hear sweet laughter makes my heart break." They were tears in his and Sakura's eyes by now. "But I can't change the fact that I have to leave. Even though I can't be here with you, I want you to know that I will always love you. And only the thought of you will allow me to go through 3 long years of training in China. Sakura you deserve the best of the best. And I would love to have the chance to give it to you. But I can't do that until three years from now. And if by then you've moved on with your life I would understand. But I just want you to know that I will never stop loving you. You will always be the girl of my dreams." He stopped to take a breath. They both had tears going down their faces.
But before he could continue he heard Sakura mumble something. "I'll wait for you forever." He became so happy that he just grabbed both of Sakura's hands and kissed them, then hugged her. "But..." she added. He let go of the embrace and looked at her face. "I'm just not ready to get married yet. Not so soon and not like this."
He smiled and hugged her again. "I understand. I don't want to get married like this either. Like I said, you deserve the best of the best. And I'm gonna give it to you, Sakura."
Sakura started crying in his embrace, "I'm going to miss you so much!" He softly ran his fingers through her hair and comforted her.
"What if you had something to look forward to? Would that help?"
"What do you mean?" She pulled away and looked at him with tear-filled eyes.
"I mean...." He took Sakura's hand and got down on one knee. "Sakura....."
