Oh my gosh HOORAY! We've got our fourth chapter updated! This calls for a celebration! Sorry everybody for the delay, Pavan just had some technical difficulties. Her computer broke :( BUT, now it's fixed and we've been able to stir up our fourth chapter! Glass of champagne to everybody! LOL... and by the way, no. Sakura didn't lose any memories, at least I don't think. And she was crying because meanie old Syaoran didn't want to be her friend! But now they're friends, thanks to... some... talking I think. We feel so happy, thank you for telling us our ideas our great. Don't worry! As long as Yumi and I are sisters, no ideas are going to the trashcan!

Chapter: Plan "P"
"It's glorious!" the auburn hair girl cried, clearly sarcastic.
Silence.
Sakura glanced over at Syaoran, and upon seeing his apprehensive expression she sagged slightly with less confidence.
"You're right," she sighed. "I've never baked a cake before, well, at least not from scratch."
Syaoran picked up the failure and felt himself trembling, his mind elsewhere. "That creep is so annoying! I am so gonna kill him!"
But that was yesterday, so let us see what happens today.
Today is morning, a glorious morning that is without sarcasm. Especially in the backyard where the cherry tree is branched up high, radiating with life and brilliance, and beauty.
It is the center of the garden.
There are morning glories and violets and pansies. There are mingling colors of dragon-breaths and lilacs. But they are only part of the beauty, framing the wonders and tints of red upon the tree…
And it was perhaps the only beauty of the entire orphanage.
Every time she peered through the window in her room, Sakura found herself pondering why the garden was a beautiful as it is.
Eriol was too evil, but he has soft spots too.
The dear, beloved Tomoyo is perched in the shade of the tree again; it's amazing how she can sit up there by herself. Oh, and then there is Eriol as well, being sure to pick the best flowers in the garden once again.
He's plucking them out freshly like every other morning, handing them over, and in return receiving a giant hug.
It's worth it, isn't it?
Sakura smiled, if only someone would love her as much as that. Strange, she's wondering to herself. Jealous of toddlers. and she laughs.
"Good morning Syaoran!" Sakura piped cheerfully.
"Uh-huh," Syaoran answered gruffly, adjusting his rumpled shirt.
"I thought I might want to go shopping today. Or do you want to?" she asked as she followed him to the bathroom.
He stopped, "We can escape from here?"
Sakura looked puzzled. "What do you mean? I thought we could go out whenever we wanted." Syaoran smiled.
"Ok, I'll go today, and I won't buy too much, so you can go out tomorrow."
Sakura gaped. Once again, this messy chestnut-haired boy was disproving her original theories. One minute he was an annoying pain who she couldn't stand at all, and then the next…
He showed a different side, a caring person. In the future Sakura would lie on her old mattress deep at night and would turn around to see Syaoran, sleeping so peacefully and…perfectly, that she would find herself contemplating whether this person was as bad as he seemed to show. And on more then one occasion she would catch herself staring at his sharp features and unexpectedly thinking how handsome he was. She would blush at the thought, but sigh as she thought how the girl he would one day fall for be very lucky. Or had already. Sakura didn't know much about Syaoran.
"I'm off!" Syaoran cried a happily as he stepped out the door of the orphanage, laughing to himself lightly. "Yes! A whole day away from that dump!" and he closed the door, leaving Sakura behind amongst the chaos.
Wait a second! Thought Sakura. Why isn't anyone bothering me yet? How odd.
"Maybe they just learned their lesson," she answered to her own question as she finally finished cleaning the floor. "Success! And nobody better ruin this floor!"
She let out a dramatic sob, "It was so dirty, that it took me four hours! Oh yeah, that reminds me…" She looked back at the main hall where the large door stood. "Why isn't Syaoran back yet?"
Just a little change of scene my friends—Syaoran laughed as he won yet another arcade game (Oh, how childish.) "Yes! Totally a kid free day today!"
…How mean! Leaving poor Sakura on her own like that, to deal with…oh snap, gotta go! Don't want to be caught up with this mess!
"Miss Kinomoto, did you really finish cleaning the floor? Upstairs and downstairs?" a familiar voice inquired.
"Yes!" She beamed, throwing her mop up like her sword, "I am a hero today who has bravely won against all the kids! I had no interferences and I suppose that this floor will stay clean forever!"
"That, sadly, is where you are wrong."
"Hoe?" Sakura looked down, and then cringed as she saw a little blue haired kid with glasses that covered his whole face.
"Team B!" Eriol cried out like a general.
There was a sudden vibrating sound like… footsteps… marching… a… an army perhaps?
Yes… an army of boys from age 1 month to 7 years… the whole mass of boys behind Eriol, waiting for their next command.
"BOYS!" He grinned, a grin Sakura was quite afraid of, and then yelled out, "PLAN P!"
And you'll never guess what happened next.
All the boys, including Eriol, pulled down their pants and screamed, "PEEE!"
Sakura shrieked out in terror, "NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!"
But it was too late. All she could do now was listen to their hissing sound and sneers and run around screaming, "MY FLOOR! MY SPARKLING, CLEAN FLOOR!"
Back with Syaoran…
"Huh? I could have sworn I just heard Sakura scream…ah well!" and he continues to laugh hysterically.
Evil.
"I can't believe you did that!" cried the distraught Sakura. "Four hours! FOUR HOURS! What…" the girl started crying. "What did we ever do to you?" and she buried her face in her hands. Eriol was regretting it. Seriously. And even more so when little Tomoyo came in to investigate.
"ERIOL! How could you!" she cried in baby-talk. Eriol looked at the girl guiltily. "You...you can be so mean sometimes!" and she crawled over to Sakura, artfully avoiding the mess on the floor. Since Sakura was not able to understand baby-talk, Tomoyo attracted the older girl's attention with a cute gurgle, and smiled when she looked up.
Somehow, Tomoyo directed Sakura outside where she sat in the shade of Cherry Blossom tree, and gestured for Sakura to do the same. Tomoyo grinned at Sakura, and then turned to the fence. She made a small "nth nth" noise, and a gorgeous ginger cat jumped gracefully over the wooden slats.
The cat brushed against Tomoyo's ankles, giving a soft, slow purr.
"Oh, this cat is so beautiful, Tomoyo!" Sakura gently pushed back the velvet hair. "Has he a name?" Tomoyo shook her head, and so Sakura suggested a name. "How does 'Kero' sound? I have a feeling it is destined to be his name." Sakura giggled at the absurdity at what she was saying, but Tomoyo grinned in appreciation and stroked the ginger hair, giggling and smiling.
"You're so adorable." Sakura smiled, "I'd adopt you…" Suddenly…
Eriol ran into the outside screaming, "NO! You can't adopt her!"
Bum bum bum buuuum... END. At least for now...>
From now on, we will add in tips of the chapter! It'll make this more interesting… and a little chunk of our brain. And here is our residential mischief-maker himself! Welcome Eriol!
TIP OF THE CHAPTER (SPECIAL FIRST DAY OCCASION):
Hey! Eriol here, the master of practical jokes himself. Yuri and Yumi thought it would be a good idea if I would share my expertise with the readers. Of course, I'll never tell my real techniques, but I guess I can tell you about some of this basic stuff. So…
How to make someone wet their bed:
No! You don't have to make them drink a lot of water and then block the bathroom! It's a simple easy way, not that I have tried it before, but it works on most people. No vegetables needed! Anyways, it's simple:
Get a bowl of warm (not hot, not cold but warm water) and then creep silently into the "living being's" room (who knows! Might be a tomato like Yuri's sister or a cucumber like Yumi's brother !) Then slip their… whatever hand that is leaning to the end into the warm bowl of water and… a wet bed! Ta da! That is my tip for today! Haha! Enjoy!
