Crash

"Tomoyo?" Eriol shook her shoulder.

"Five more minutes, Eriol," Tomoyo mumbled.

"Okay, fine," Eriol leaned back on the headboard.

He didn't wake her after five minutes; he let her sleep until she woke up on her own. Tomoyo's eyes opened, fixed on the window. "There's the balcony.' "Good morning!" Eriol smiled at her.

Tomoyo sat up and smiled. "Were you here all night?" he asked.

Tomoyo nodded her head. She then leaned in and placed her lips on his. Tomoyo pulled away from Eriol and giggled. He was so confused, "Did I miss something?"

"Yup," Tomoyo checked the clock; it was only 10:00 "Aren't you coming down to breakfast?"

"Huh? Oh, um, yeah."

She closed the door, and went into her room to change.

… Kitchen…

"Wow, that smells sooooo good, Nakuru!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Thanks," Nakuru beamed.

Tomoyo walked into the kitchen smiling radiantly. "Good morning!" Tomoyo greeted.

"Whoa! You're even happier than me!" Nakuru sniggered, "So is he still asleep?"

"Nope," Tomoyo went into the dinning room and began to set the table.

"Who?" Sakura demanded.

"Eriol," Nakuru answered.

Eriol and Syaoran entered the kitchen. Eriol checked what Nakuru was cooking, "Pancakes, huh? Suppi's going to be really hyper," Eriol warned her.

He then walked over to Tomoyo and helped her set the table. "How long have you guys lived here?" Tomoyo asked.

"Since I was born," Eriol replied.

"Do you remember the last family that lived in my dad's house?"

"Of course! They had a beautiful daughter who spoke to me everyday, when I was little," he looked up at Tomoyo's stunned look, "But you more beautiful than her."

"Continue," Tomoyo grinned.

"Uh, well, the last time that I saw her, she was telling me about joining a choir at the church, then she sang the song that the choir's leader taught her. She didn't finish the song, because her mom dragged her away from the balcony," Eriol laughed, "Her mom said that I was her imaginary friend."

"Did you like the song?"

Eriol became suspicious, "Why are you asking me these things?"

Tomoyo crossed her arms over her chest, "Eriol. Answer the question."

"Yes, it was beautiful. She had the most beautiful voice ever!" Eriol remarked.

"Thank you," Tomoyo blushed, "You really thought it was that good?"

"What?" confusion took over Eriol's mind once again, "You mean that was you?"

Tomoyo nodded her head.

… In the kitchen…

"Move over Sakura, I can't see anything!" Nakuru whined.

"Why do you guys even bother spying on them?" Syaoran shook his head.

"Because it's fun," Sakura looked over her shoulder.

Syaoran could already hear Tomoyo and Eriol's voices, "So what do you want to do today?" Eriol asked her.

"I don't know," Tomoyo answered, "As long as I'm with you."

Then there was peace. Sakura and Nakuru stiffly walked away from the entrance. "What did you say happened last night?" Sakura looked surprised.

"I'm not sure anymore," Nakuru gulped.

"What happened?" Syaoran asked.

"I thought that you didn't like spying," Sakura raised her eyebrows.

Sakura whispered in his ears everything he didn't want to hear.

…In the dining room…

"HE SAID WHAT!" Syaoran yelled.

"Why are you so overprotective of Tomoyo?" Sakura demanded.

"Because it's Eriol! I don't trust him one bit," Syaoran continued to yell.

"Looks like they were spying on us," Tomoyo laughed.

They noticed two heads staring at them. 'Maybe I shouldn't have told her that I loved her. Now they'll be watching our every move.' "Let's give them a show," Tomoyo whispered.

Eriol shrugged, and kissed Tomoyo passionately. She felt Eriol's tongue moving in her mouth. She was startled at first but then she got used to it. He pulled back a bit so that the two watchers would see. They realized that the two heads were gone. They pulled away from each other laughing. "Since when did you start kissing like that?" Tomoyo's eyebrows rose.

'Oh my God! He's a better kisser than before,' she practically screamed inside. Eriol covered his ears. "Tomoyo, I appreciate the compliments, but please don't scream in your head. I'm not even reading your mind and I can still hear you!"

They were then startled by a noise from the kitchen. "That's it I'm going to kill him," Syaoran roared.

Eriol laughed remembering what he said last night. "Syaoran! Calm down!" Sakura shouted.

"Sakura, I'm not going to sit here while he shoves he tongue down her damn throat!"

Eriol and Tomoyo ran into the kitchen. "What happened?" Tomoyo asked.

"Nothing!" Sakura and Nakuru said together.

Syaoran was giving Eriol the angriest glare ever. Tomoyo turned away; she was practically dying of laughter. Eriol couldn't help himself, they both burst out into laughter. "Aren't we convincing actors?" Tomoyo tried to stop laughing.

"You guys should really try hiding when you spy on us," Eriol chuckled.

"And the fact that Syaoran was screaming didn't help," the two of them continued to laugh.

Once their laughing died off and they began to eat.

…Outside …

Sakura looked up in the tree, "You can come down, you know."

Syaoran looked down at her, "I don't want to."

"We're all going out to dinner tonight, will you come?"

"Do I have to?"

"It would be nice if you did," Sakura shrugged.

"Humph," Syaoran scowled and looked away.

… In the front yard…

"It's such a beautiful day today!" Tomoyo looked up at the cloudless sky.

"Yes, I agree," Eriol turned to Tomoyo's old house.

A young woman had just walked out of the house. She saw Tomoyo and her eyes just lit up. "Tammy!" the blonde woman screeched.

Tomoyo let out an agonized sigh and turned to Clara. "Tammy?" Eriol questioned.

Clara came up to them, "I thought you ran away!" she giggled, "I'm sorry that your father and I scared you like that. Maybe we should have sent you a… um what are those called? Those thing you write then you send them."

"A letter?" Eriol said with disbelief.

How could a woman be so stupid? Clara then looked over at Eriol, "Aren't you going to introduce me to this person?" Clara asked.

"Um… Eriol, this is Clara," Tomoyo rolled her eyes.

"So are you the arrogant liar that Tomoyo's staying with?" Clara shook his hand delightedly.

Eriol's jaw dropped. "No, he's my boyfriend," Tomoyo snapped.

Eriol reddened, "It's um, nice? Uh, yeah nice to meet you miss."

"Well Tomoyo, I must go now. Come over for supper tomorrow night! Your dad would like to see you again," Clara smiled and trotted off.

"So, I'm your boyfriend now?" Eriol laughed quietly.

"Yes. Why do you have a problem with that?" Tomoyo demanded.

"Come along girlfriend, I want to bring you somewhere."

…Where Syaoran and Sakura are…

"Come on Syaoran," Sakura frowned, "Please come down?"

No answer. "Syaoran!" she screamed.

"Why do you want me to come down so much?" Syaoran screamed back.

"Because it's your last week with us and I want to spend time with you before you leave!" Sakura examined the tree. 'I could never climb this!' "Okay, fine. If you're not coming down, then I'm coming up."

"But I thought that you can't climb trees."

"Jump card!"

Sakura hopped into the tree. She smiled triumphantly, "So are you coming to the restaurant or what?"

"Might as well," Syaoran gave up, "You're probably not going to shut up until I agree to go with you."

He looked away smiling. She smiled as well, "Thank you," she kissed him on the cheek and jumped out of the tree, "We're going at six okay?"

"Okay," Syaoran answered.

…In the church…

"This place is just like I remember it!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

Tomoyo looked around the giant cathedral. "Tomoyo Daidouji?" an old voice called out her name.

"Sister Mary-Lyn!" Tomoyo beamed.

"My, my, have you ever grown," she looked so proud of Tomoyo. She then brought her attention to Eriol, "And Eriol Hiiragizawa, you have grown so much as well."

"Thank you sister," the two replied graciously.

Sister Mary-Lyn watched the two walk around the church. Tomoyo was speaking, and Eriol contentedly listened. They began walking hand in hand together, and Tomoyo gently placed a kiss on Eriol's cheek. 'What? Tomoyo and Eriol are in love?' Sister Mary-Lyn gasped, 'Oh dear, if Katoya catches them then… oh it's so terrible!'

…6:00…

Tomoyo, Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol walked down the road. "How far did you say this restaurant is?" Syaoran glared at Eriol.

"Not too far," Eriol grinned.

"Did you notice Sister Mary-Lyn frowning at us today?" Tomoyo suddenly brought up the subject.

"Yeah, I wonder why."

"She seemed so happy to see us at first."

The sound of tires screeching came from the driveway. "Hey over here!" Sakura waved at the cab.

"Heys kids!" Johnny waved, "Blindfolded girl, its goods to see yas again! Hop in."

Johnny then sped away to the restaurant.

…At the restaurant…

Sakura stared down at her plate, afraid to look up at Syaoran. Syaoran was having a miserable time, each time he looked at Sakura; her head was tilted downwards as if she was afraid of him. Syaoran finished his food and pushed his plate away. He then got up and walked out of the restaurant. Tomoyo and Eriol stared at Sakura. Sakura looked up, "What?"

"Aren't you going after him?" Tomoyo asked.

"No," Sakura replied sadly.

"You should probably tell him how you feel before it's too late," Eriol added in.

Sakura looked at the restaurant's door, "Okay fine."

…Outside the restaurant…

"Syaoran, wait!" he turned to see Sakura running after him, "Syaoran, I have to tell you something," she panted.

"What is it?" Syaoran asked calmly.

"I love you," she blurted out.

She had finally said it, in hopes that Syaoran wouldn't leave. "Sakura…" Syaoran paused, "Sakura, please forget me. I'm going home soon and I have no intention of coming back."

"How long ago did you know that you were leaving?" Sakura shouted.

"Since yesterday night," Syaoran answered truthfully.

Sakura glared at him, "Then I guess you just don't want to be with me, right?"

Syaoran stood voiceless. Sakura walked onto the road and crossed the street, "I guess you didn't! Why did I even fall in love with you in the first place?"

Two bright lights shining in her direction then blinded Sakura. She heard a horn sounding, and then she felt a heavy object hit her body.
