"Ne, ne, look at this poster, guys!" Meilin was holding a poster in her hands.
"Oh, a new amusement park has just opened. Whoa, look at those roller coasters! They seem to be more thrilling than the other one in the other amusement park." Sakura stared at the pictures.
"Shoot, Meilin. Did you peel this poster off the wall outside the school?" Syaoran asked.
"Aww, Meilin did no such thing. I merely borrow it for a while. Right, Eriol?"
Sakura, Syaoran and Meilin turned to look at the boy.
"What?!?! Why am I dragged into this?"
"So, Eriol, are you coming with us to the amusement park?" Sakura asked.
Meilin's eyes glittered. "So, it's a deal that we all go on this Sunday! Yea!" Meilin went jumping around.
"Wha-" Syaoran was a little surprise that a decision was made so fast.
Eriol went back to reading his book. Syaoran laid his head on the table and stared at the England boy. Class will be starting in 5 minutes. I want to sleep some more.
Suddenly, something caught Syaoran's eyes. He walked behind Eriol and snatched his book.
"Syaoran!" Sakura pouted his lips. "That's rude. Fancy someone snatching away your book when you are reading."
Eriol got a surprise and was stunned for a second. When he realized what Syaoran had done, he yell and tried to get back his book.
The other guy flipped through the book and a small booklet fell out. Sakura picked it up. She wiped the dust off the small booklet and was going to return to its rightful owner when she saw what the book really was.
"The Ideal Places to go for a Date? Date?" Sakura pondered. Then, something hit her on her mind. "Eriol, so, how is it going?"
Eriol retrieved the book from the girl's hands. "What?"
"Don't act dumb." Syaoran rubbed in. He then altered his voice to make it higher. "My Eriol-darling…" He said, fluttering his eye lashes.
"Nothing…" And he turned into a crimson-red chameleon.
"Look who's blushing?" Syaoran gave a grin.
Meilin came hopping back to join the gang. "I've invited Tomoyo along. This Sunday, at eleven in the morning. We will meet at the bus station."
Eriol gave a disappointed look. Sakura immediately spotted the change and said to him, "Coming along? The more the merrier."
Eriol's head dropped and rose, "Guess I have no choice, eh?"
Syaoran then pulled Sakura aside and whispered something into her ear. Sakura, upon hearing that, smiled.
Sunday:
"SAKURA, QUICK! THE BUS IS LEAVING SOON!" Meilin yelled.
… …
"What a close shave. We almost have to wait another half-an-hour for the next bus to arrive." Meilin said.
"Sorry, guys." Sakura panted as she tried to get back her speech. "My alarm clock failed to wake me up."
Syaoran pulled Sakura close to him. "Sakura, I need to talk to you for a while. Come over her. Erm…Eriol, can you move next to Tomoyo?"
Sakura got what he was trying to do.
"Okay. Erm…Eriol, would you mind…"
Eriol blushed. He knew both of them were trying to pull Tomoyo and him together.
So, he exchanged his seat with Sakura.
Meilin saw what happened.
"Erm…Syaoran, why did Sakura changes seat-Umph! Um umph umph!"
Syaoran immediately cupped his hands over Meilin's mouth. "Ah, Sakura as I was saying, I needed to talk to you…wait, what was I trying to say? Ahaha, I forgot. I'll tell you later."
"Nevermind. Ahaha…how forgetful you are, Syaoran…Ahaha"
Eriol heard them. He thought, 'good' one, Syaoran. 'Thanks' a lot.
Tomoyo was unaware. She was busy peering outside the window, watching the scenery pass by.
Syaoran, when he saw they had completed their 'mission', released his hands.
"Shh…can't you see? Sakura and I are trying to help Eriol and Tomoyo. So, this is the first step to success, and you don't crumple our plan, deal?"
"And why is Sakura the first one to know about this 'mission'?" Meilin inquired.
Syaoran turned to look at Sakura. Then, at Meilin.
"No such thing. I merely told Sakura first 'cos she was available when I thought of this mission. You weren't there. So, I'm telling you now."
"Meilin not happy." She pouted up her lips. "Meilin not glad."
"Syaoran sweatdropped. "Okay, okay. This handsome gentleman will treat you to an ice-cream later."
Meilin shook her head. "A large sundae and a burger, or I'll disturb the pair of lovebirds.
Syaoran checked his wallet. "Maybe an ice-cream with a burger?"
"LARGE SUNDAE or it's no deal."
"But Meilin-"
"Hey, Tomo-"
"Oh, dear Meilin, I was just joking. A sundae and a burger it is."
Tomoyo turned and looked a bit puzzled by the two kids' reaction. Sakura quickly turned things back by explaining that the two were still very childish and Meilin wanted a treat from Syaoran. Hence, the day was saved by Sakura. (sounds pretty like Powerpuff Girls eh?)
Meilin was very glad that things turned out her way.
"Huge stomach." Syaoran murmured.
"I heard that! Another order, fries!"
"NOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo…"
And that how it was on the bus for the group of children…
…
…
…
At the amusement park…
"Are you alright, Eriol?" Tomoyo handed him a tissue.
"Fit as a fiddle-" And there he goes again, throwing out everything he had for breakfast.
"You should have told me that you couldn't take roller coaster rides. Now, I feel so bad."
Sakura and Syaoran were hiding in the bushes, eavesdropping them.
Eriol took the tissue from Tomoyo and cleaned his mouth. "It's my fault for not telling you before hand. You don't have to feel bad."
Tomoyo shook her head. "It's my fault for not asking you if you dare to take the ride."
"No, it's my fault."
"It's mine."
Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped. Whosever fault it is, can they just forget about it and get on with other conversation? Suddenly a silhouette shadowed over them.
"Hey, Syaoran! Sakura! The roller coaster was fun. I took it five times! Eh? Watcha doing? Oh, there's Eriol and Tomoyo-"
"SHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…"
"Oops, I'm sorry. So, what do you want to do? Say 'hi' to them and continue enjoying ourselves?"
Syaoran thought hard. "I'd rather say 'bye' and leave them alone."
Sakura nodded. Meilin was fine with anything as long as she can enjoy all the games there. Syaoran led both the girls out of the bushes, quietly.
The rest of the day went on as Syaoran had planned. Eriol and Tomoyo should be having fun now that there's no gooseberry around them. The trio went to play other games and went for lunch too. It burnt a pretty big hole in Syaoran's wallet for Meilin deliberately did not take breakfast so that there is room for Syaoran's treat. Sakura, feeling pity for Syaoran as he could only afford a glass of orange juice for himself, shared her fries with him.
"I can't eat another fries!" Meilin laid her head on the table.
"It's mine then." Syaoran helped himself to the fries and plopped some into his mouth.
Sakura laid the map on the table and asked, "Let's decide our next destination."
"Lemme see!" Meilin sat us and glance at the map of the amusement park. Suddenly, her eyes caught part of the map. "There!" she said as she indicated a little house on the paper with her finger. "That's where we WILL go!"
"Where?" Syaoran asked with his mouth full of fries. "What's that?"
"Hiyaaaaa!" Meilin gave a karate-chop behind his neck. "Swallow ya food before you talk- Yew, you spit out all those food. Heaven will punish those who didn't finish their food. Ya gonna die…"
"No, I'm not. You didn't get to finish ya fries either. You're going to be fried by lightning." (Legend said that if anyone wastes food will be stuck by lightning)
"You will!"
"No, I won't. I'm too important to be fried."
"Let Sakura decides. What do you think, Sakura?"
"She's not the god. Hey, cut that out! Stop messing with my hair!"
Sakura laughed at their childish 'game'. Meilin turned to look at the girl and smiled back. Then, she noticed that the girl was very pale looking.
"Are you alright, Sakura?" Meilin asked with concern.
"What? Who's Sakura? What's that?" Syaoran got up from the ground the 'battle'.
"You've knock yourself silly?" Meilin said, giving another knock on his head.
"Oh, you're referring to Kinomoto Sakura."-noticed the girl- "You look pretty pale. You alright?"
"Oh, I am?" Sakura gave a few pats on her cheeks. "I'm fine. Let's go to the Haunted Mansion Meilin chosen."
"Beware, spirits and monsters of the mansion. Hope you can survive under Meilin's punches." Syaoran prayed as they headed towards the place. Meilin was skipping right in front of them.
As you know, Sakura is one girl who is terrified of ghosts and things like that. But seeing the excited Meilin, she knew she shouldn't disagree with her.
… … …
Eriol and Tomoyo were on the ferris wheel.
"Whoa, we are so high up!" Tomoyo stared out of the window. "Too bad it isn't night time or we will be able to see more beautiful scenery out there."
"Yae…but it is still very lovely from where I'm sitting." Eriol replied, admiring the girl sitting opposite of him.
"I am so lucky that I can be here…with you…" Tomoyo lowered her head and allowed violet strands of hair to fall in front of her face. Although the hair covered part of her face, Eriol could still notice that she's blushing.
Eriol turned to look out of the window. "…Alone too…Just two of us…" He felt his face getting warmer, but he hoped that Tomoyo wouldn't see with her head lowered.
Minutes elapsed.
"I…"
Eriol and Tomoyo both tried to speak at the same time.
"You first…" They insisted. Immediately, both their heads turned.
"You go first…Ladies first…." Eriol said, being a gentleman.
"…This is my first date with you…An-and I really enjoyed myself." Eriol blushed some more. "When Meilin invited me to come along with Syaoran and Sakura, I was very excited. At the same time, I was wishing that you would come too…"
Eriol smiled.
"First time…first time I've seen you really enjoying yourself. That really makes me happy…"
"To tell the truth, this IS my first time enjoying myself. What's more, there's my beautiful girlfriend sitting in front of me."
Tomoyo quickly hid her blushing face in her hair again.
"Tomoyo…I'm sorry how I was once. And I'm thankful that I've met such a good 'key' to my 'lock'." Eriol said.
Then, through the mess of hair, Tomoyo could see a shadow moving towards her.
"I will always love you…But for now, this is the only thing I can give you."
With that, Tomoyo felt her head being lifted up and suddenly, something pressed hard against her lips, although it lasted not more than a second.
"Eriol…" Tomoyo, surprised at what happened, blushed and whispered to herself. Then, smiled.
Eriol was staring out of the window, humming a tune…
…
…
"Yae, this is the best place in the amusement park- THE HAUNTED MANSION!" Meilin was screaming in front of the entrance when Syaoran came back with some torchlights.
"Stop yelling. It's embarrassing," he said, handing a torchlight to Meilin. "And will you quit shinning the light in my face?"
Meilin puffed up her face and stuck out her tongue.
"Here's a torchlight, Sakura." He handed her the torchlight. "The man said that it will be pitch-dark in there, so this is our only light source."
"All the better. I can smack those 'ghosts' and sorts silly without being known who I am-" –noticed Syaoran's eyebrows were knitted together- "I was joking, man…Relax."
Syaoran had already walked through the gigantic door. Meilin ran after him while Sakura followed closely the two of them…
