CHAPTER 2

Syaoran, Renzo, Meilin, and Eriol were sitting in the girl's apartment on Sakura's birthday. The three were sitting around Syaoran, it was obvious that they were deep in thought.

"Perfume?"

"No"

"Flowers?"

"No"

"Candy?"

"No"

"Clothes?"

Renzo cut in. "After he wore that sweater?" Syaoran glared at him. "No"

"A photo album?"

"No"

Meilin was fed up. "Well if your gonna shoot down every idea!" She got up and went to the kitchen to grab a soda when Tomoyo came in looking quite frantic. "Okay you guys. Sakura's surprise party is in 4 hours and we still have sooo much to do. Decorations, food, cake, invitations, gifts, we got to figure out what Syaoran is gonna get her-" she said with all one breath, talking very fast.

Meilin rushed over to Tomoyo, "Calm down sweetie, here give me some of the bags." Dangling from her arms were tons of bags containing everything needed to throw a party.

"Don't worry I have a plan. I'm gonna take Syaoran shopping where he will get her a gift. NO OBJECTIONS." Syaoran shut his mouth, keeping his objections to himself. "Meilin I need you to call Sakura's family and make sure they're coming and to pick up her cake." "Kay, hey what kind of cake is it?" "Chocolate?" Syaoran asked eagerly. "No ice cream. It's Kura's favorite. Now Renzo and Eriol-" she turned to them who had completely spread themselves out on the couch, "-are going to get off their lazy assess and decorate the apartment appropriately."
Renzo winked, "Got it babe"

She gave him a look, "NOW!"

The two jumped up, "Alright we're on it."

"Good, now Syaoran, let's go and no BUTS!" He shut his mouth, rolled his eyes and got up after her. "Oh yeah one last thing" she turned to the remaining three, "I told Sakura to call me when she gets off work. Remember it's a surprise party, Renzo!" They all gave him a look.

"Gosh you blow it once and your labeled for life!"

"Well let's play it safe so Eriol and Meilin will only answer the phone. Got it?"

"Yeah, yeah"

"Now Syaoran let's go." She grabbed the collar of his shirt, dragging him out of the apartment while he murmured incomprehensible curses under his breath.

"Hi can I help you?"

Meilin handed him her receipt, "Yes I'm here to pick up a cake."

"Sure just wait a second." The clerk went off into a back room and came out a few seconds later. "Here's your cake ma'am."

"Thanks" she turned around and was about to leave when she noticed the cake. "Wait a minute sir, I think you gave me the wrong cake."

"No that's the cake with that receipt."

"I ordered an ice cream cake, not this… I don't even know what this is?" The cake was an orange-brown color with yellow icing.

"It's a carrot cake with coconut icing."

Her face scrunched up in disgust, "That's... kind of… gross… okay listen I need a birthday cake that's actually NORMAL. Do you have anything?"

"Well I do have an extra vanilla cake with white icing. You want that?"

"C'mon there's a nice jewelry shop near the food court. We'll get her something there."

"But-"

"NO BUTS! WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS NOW WITH YOU SHOOTING DOWN EVERY GOOD IDEA. NOW WE ARE GETTING HER JEWELRY AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!" She grabbed his shirt and dragged him over to the shop. Syaoran looked through the display cases and then up at Tomoyo who had clearly cracked.

"What about this one? Aw this ones cute! This one's adorable! That one's too expensive. Too plain! Too UGLY. How about-" He cut her off. "Hey Tomoyo."
"What?"

"I know I'm been a little hard-headed about Sakura's gift-"

"A little?" she interrupted sarcastically. In response he gave her a look, but it vanished when he sighed, "I just want it to be perfect." He paused and ran his hand through his hair. "I know you know how I feel about her… and I was thinking about telling her."

She looked him, not in a bad way, but just to study him. "Syaoran…"

"I don't expect her to feel the same way about me." He turned back towards the display cases looking for the perfect gift. "I just want her to know how I feel… and maybe she just might-" He sighed again. "Well a guy can hope can't he?" He smiled. She stared at him as he bent down to look at a necklace. "What about this one?" he asked her. She snapped out of her trance and bent down beside him to see the necklace. "Oh wow" Her eyes lit up, "It's perfect!"

"You're right." He stood up and turned to the clerk, "I'll take it!"

"Should we tell them?"

"I don't know…"
"But this-this is huge! Not even Tomoyo knows!"

"I know!"

"How will we explain?"
"What's there to explain?"
"How we found it out!"

"We can make something up! This is important." Renzo started to stutter nervously, "I don't think I can keep it secret!" He began to shake.

"Keep what secret?" The two guys jumped 10 feet.

"AHHHHHH" Meilin closed the door behind her with one hand and the cake in the other. "What are you guys keeping secret?" She went to put the cake in the fridge.

Renzo was biting his fist to keep from shaking and shouting out the secret so Eriol answered, "Nothing-SO you got the cake! Let's see it."
Meilin laughed nervously and quickly slammed the refrigerator door shut. "Pfft! It's a cake, nothing to see!" She walked past him and flopped down on the couch and screamed. "OWWW!" She reached underneath. "What'd I sit on-OH MY GOD YOU READ SAKURA'S DIARY?"

Renzo and Eriol pointed at each other and started to yell, "It was his idea to read it!"

"You're the one who found it!"

"It fell on the ground when you were jumping on her bed!"

"You said we should instead of doing the 'stupid' decorations!"

"SHUT UP" The two instantly went quiet. "I cannot BELIEVE you two would read a girl's diary. It's the woman's personal thoughts and feelings for crying out loud!"

"She wrote a lot about you." Renzo said. She stopped crying and her eyebrow rose with curiosity. "Really? What'd she write?" The two smiled. Renzo grabbed the diary and flipped to a page. "Well she wrote here how she loved your fashion taste."

"Ooh let me see!"

Eriol lost it. "Can we focus for just one second here people!" He ripped the diary out of their hands, flipped to another page, and threw the book back to Meilin. "Read this." She started to read and then her eyes went wide. "Oh my GOSH!"

Renzo started to shout too. "I know!"

"This is-is HUGE!"

"I KNOW!"

"Oh I need a drink!" She flopped down on the couch. "So how are we gonna tell Tomoyo?"

Eriol sat down next to her, "Should we tell her?"

"Well its only fair, everyone else already knows" She sighed. "Weren't you guys supposed to decorate for the party?"

Renzo shrugged, "We're getting to it."

"Well Tomoyo and Syaoran are gonna be back in about half an hour so you guys better get around to it or else Tomoyo will kill you." She got up and was about to leave when the guys grabbed her arm. "Hey Meilin what's the hurry? Sit down, relax, and hang a few streamers while you're here."

She laughed and was about to turn when they tugged her back. Eriol said, "Look Meilin we're guys, remember? We have no fashion taste or color coordination whatsoever. We need your help or Sakura's party is gonna look like crap" She sighed angrily, "Fine, but you guys owe me!'

-------------------------------

45 minutes later:

The three were spread out all over the couch, admiring the decorations. "Well we did it!"

Meilin got up. "It actually looks nice too." She turned back to the two clowns on the couch. "Maybe Tomoyo won't kill you afterall."

Eriol sat up. "Where are they anyway? They were supposed to be here a while ago."

Renzo shrugged. "Thank god for rush hour". He got up and went to the fridge. "Want a soda?" Meilin sprinted in front of him. "Yeah I'm thirsty. Hey I'll get it for you, go over there, sit down, relax." She said while pushing him away

Eriol and Renzo looked at each other then back at Meilin. "What's in the fridge?"

She laughed nervously. "I-I just don't want the cake to fall out."

"Sure" She opened the fridge door slowly, and only wide enough to stick her arm in.

"Hey!" Syaoran shut and locked the door behind him and Tomoyo. Meilin instantly slammed the fridge door shut. "Hey you're back!"

"So what'd you get her?" Syaoran smiled. "You'll see later." He looked around the apartment. "You guys did a pretty good job decorating." He held his hand out to Tomoyo. "You owe me 20 bucks."

"Damn" she reached in her pockey and pulled out the money when...

BANG

"GAKI OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!"

Syaoran cringed. "Hide me!"

Eriol unlocked the door. "Hey Touya!" He smiled. "Hey" The two hugged while slapping each other's backs. "Now where's the gaki? I'm gonna kill him!"

"Why are you so hard on the poor boy?" Fujitaka came in behind his son.

Touya growled, "I don't trust him."

Meilin giggled, "I'll go get him"

Renzo called after her, "He's under the bed!"

"'kay!"

"Oh yeah!" Tomoyo's head snapped as if just remembering, "The cake!" She pulled the cake out of the fridge and set it down on the table. She lifted the cover off and her eyes went wide. "Oh my GOSH!"

Everyone crowded around her.

"What's goin on?" Syaoran asked and came to look at the cake. Meilin began to shout nervously, "Ah I got to go to the bathroom!"

"Meilin?" Tomoyo gave her a look. "Yes?"

"Why does the cake have two naked men on it?" Before Meilin answered Eriol cut in. "To support gay pride, it says it right here." He pointed at big pink letters which read, "GAY PRIDE"

"MEILIN!" she ran into the bedroom with Tomoyo right on her tail.

"Look Tomoyo it's not my fault! There was a mix-up and it was the only decent flavored one left." Tomoyo started to hit her witht the pillow. "I can make it up to you." The hitting stopped. "How?"

"Well we just found out something about our dear Sakura..."

Tomoyo eyes went wide with curiousity. "What?" Meilin moved closer and was about to whisper into her ear when...

BANG

Renzo slammed the door behind him and locked it. "We're having a crisis out there!" The two girls looked up. "What's going on?"

"Sakura's boyfriend's here!"

Both girls replied, "Shit!" Then the two looked at each other.

"Wait, why are you mad?"

"I was gonna ask you the same thing."

Then it clicked at the same time. The two pointed at each other.

"YOU know something I don't know!"

"You know something about Sakura!" Tomoyo turned around and put her finger in Renzo's face accusingly. "You told her about the surprise party, didn't you?"

Renzo put his hands up in defense, "NO, I-"

"I KNEWI shouldn't have left you here!"

"That's not IT-!"

"I should've disconnected the phone to make sure yo didn't blow it-"

"SAKURA'S IN LOVE WITH SYAORAN!"

Silence

"WHAT! How do you know!"

"That's not the point here!"

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT IT!" They looked at Meilin and fell silent.

"Let's just relax and review the factslike NORMAL people for once!"

:5 minutes later:

Meilin got up off the bed. "So Syaoran loves Sakura, Sakura loves Syaoran but she's dating Josh to make him jealous, and while I was gone Josh called and you, you idiot, you invited him to her surprise party where Syaoran's gonna tell her he loves her!" she said out of breath.

"So what should we do?"

Tomoyo turned to Renzo. "You're gonna fill Eriol in, while WE try to get Josh out of here and start Sakura's surprise party."
