Silent Cry, Lonesome Tears

Mona-chan: Hey everyone! Whoa, I haven't updated in six months and that's just stupid! Time just flies by…But I will continue to write these two fan fictions until I finish! I promise all of you guys I will finish, no matter how long it's gonna take. And even if worse comes to worse (which I'm sure it will not) I'll email all my reviewers or upload a note saying I will not continue the story and then take it off As for SC, LT, I think there will only be a couple more chapters left. I think there's only going to be about three chapters left. At the end, when you guys review for my last chapter, I'll send an email to everyone that has one in their profile, or somehow get into contact with you. Because all of my reviewers have kept me going! So again, thank you for supporting me all the way! One more thing, recently I learned from a fellow fanfiction writer in one of the yahoo groups (newtrialsring for the fanfiction by Wish-chan) that we are not allowed to correspond with our reviewers during our updates anymore! I think this is absolutely ridiculous. I got an email about that and I signed a petition against it. When we get 200 authors we will send it to the people who made If you would like an email of the petition to sign please ask me and I will see if I can find it! This is the reason I will not be writing thank you's like usual to my reviewers at the bottom, but I do appreciate your reviews! I may be sending emails to everyone now instead. I'm also very sorry again for updating so late, but I hope you all will continue to read my stories. What with school, work at home, friends, other web sites I need to keep in priority I sometimes forget about my tasks such as updating fanfiction. It is kind of hard to update SC, LT now because when I started the story it was because I was kind of in a sad depressing type mood, and now I'm mostly happy (I also wrote it to get away from ATH of H, BTD of H for awhile). This chapter is very short and I wrote it sort of long ago, I just didn't get it uploaded on I edited and revised today. It's not very good because I really wanted to get this out quick since it's already been 6 months since my last update. At least it's a little more lighthearted than my previous chapters. Anyway, thank you all once again for supporting me through all of the chapters thus far!

Chapter 4 – August 30th

The day August 30th had finally come. Sakura came early in the morning to take me to Syaoran's house. My mother, Sonomi, answered the door.

"Oh, Sakura! What a pleasant surprise to see you! Would you like to see Tomoyo?" Sonomi asked with a smile.

Sakura nodded. "Yes, please," she said politely.

"She's right up there," Sonomi pointed upstairs, where I was standing.

"Sakura!" I squealed and ran quickly down the stairs.

"Tomoyo!" she replied and stretched her arms out for a tight hug from me. "Let's leave now," she said.

"Okay!" I said eagerly. I turned to Sonomi and said, "Bye, mom! Sakura and I are going to meet with the guys so we can spend some time before college."

Sakura and I ran outside to her blue Toyota car. She sat in the driver's seat with the keys in her hand, while I sat in the passenger seat in the front. Sakura started the engine and off we were, to Syaoran's house, where I would finally see Syaoran and Eriol again.

About half an hour later, we arrived at Syaoran's house. He and Eriol greeted us at the front door. Both Syaoran and Eriol looked much more handsome and mature than the last time I had seen them. I finally accepted the fact that we were all getting older, and that many things were changing. We exchanged hugs between the four of us. When I hugged Syaoran my heart started beating faster. I still loved him and I wished that our embrace had been a romantic one, but it was only a hug among good friends. I sighed inside my mind but decided to forget about it – after all, I was lucky enough to see him again. Sakura and I stepped into Syaoran's house for a chat with him and Eriol. Together we talked of the old times. Of elementary school, middle school, high school, and the card captor days…everything from beginning to end. As we recalled fond memories of the past, we laughed together as well as cried together.

After we had a talk about various things in Syaoran's house, we got into Sakura's car. Sakura drove us to the mall, where both she and I went crazy with shopping, and dragged the guys around everywhere with us.

"Well, that's the last of it," Sakura said with a grin, as she loaded on the clothes and accessories we bought into her car from the shopping cart.

"You'll have to model all these for me," I said with starry eyes. "And of course I'll be making clothes for you to model too.

"Oh, Tomoyo," Sakura laughed, "I thought we were over that!"

I replied, "Nope! I need a model for my clothes if I'm going to be a famous fashion designer someday."

Eriol said with a soft smile, "I guess old times never change." Then Syaoran and Eriol both complained that they were tired, even though I knew they were enjoying the time with us. I even caught the two smiling at Sakura and I once in awhile.

Afterwards, the four of us went to get some ice cream, so we could all just sit and relax. Sakura bought strawberry ice cream for herself, chocolate ice cream for Syaoran, mint chocolate chip for Eriol, and vanilla for me. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the soothing voices of my friends holding a conversation.

We visted a few more places later in the day. After that, the day was getting dark and turning into to night, so we headed home.

"So, where are we going first?" Sakura asked behind the wheel.

"Well, Eriol's staying the night at my place," Syaoran said. "So you can drop us both off there."

Sakura nodded and said, "I guess we're going there first, then."

"Today was great! I've never had so much fun!" I exclaimed, jumping up and down at the front door when we were at Syaoran's house. Sakura agreed.

"I don't want to leave," I said with a small frown.

"We'll all see each other again," Syaoran said. Eriol nodded. Syaoran, Eriol, Sakura, and I all exchanged a few last hugs and words before Sakura and I went back in the car.

When we were at my house, Sakura said good-bye, and then she drove off. I went inside, and Sonomi asked me about the day. I told her all about it, and all the wonderful things that had happened. The day I'd been waiting so long for was finally over, and now all that I would be anxiously waiting for would be Tokyo University.

Mona-chan: Did you like it? I hope so! Although it was really short and it wasn't good because I didn't plan where the four of them were going when I planned the meeting date. I'm kind of doing it as I go… –sigh- This place is pretty empty now that I don't get to reply to my reviewers…that makes me pretty bummed out. I am making a promise that the next update longest time will be three months (I know, it's a long time but it's better than 6 months)…and if I run into some disaster I will email you all to alert that I will not be updating for awhile. And you can bombard me with complaint emails. Please do R & R, I enjoy them so much! Thanks and bye!
