DREAM HOUSE

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the CCS characters…

He sees it all… from it's sliding door made of aluminum and fiber glass, the color of the

carpets and rags in the dining hall, the kidney-shaped pool, the alabaster sculptures…

the number of rooms it would have, the chandelier that hangs in the living room, and

even the one person that he would like to share his days and his dream house with…

Tomoyo Daidouji… the raven-haired nightingale, halfway across the globe from him, in

The little and quiet town of Tomoeda who captured his heart… but he knew that this

Particular dream of being with his goddess is impossible….

"Because she is in love with the Card Mistress…" he whispered to himself…

Eriol Hiiragizawa was working in his top-floor office in London, when suddenly…

RING…… RING……… RING…………….

"Hello? Eriol Hiiragizawa speaking…"

"Eriol!" came a voice from the other end of the line that he had grown to love so much…

"Tomoyo?" he answered back with an obvious tinge of shock.

"Why are you so shocked to find out that it's me?" she asked…

"Nothing, just wondering… it's usually Sakura who's doing all the calling…"

"Well, things change, you know? Anyway, there is a particular reason why I called…":

"And that is?" he asked

"To ask you to come back, what else?"

"And why would I do that?"

"Come on! Are you telling me that you're going to pass up the chance of going to Sakura's wedding?"

"What?"

"You heard me, they're getting married… next weekend…" she answered back merrily.

"And if I say no?"

"I would just have to go all the way to England to drag you to a plane then.." she said giggling all the while…

"Okay, okay… I get the picture… When's the wedding again?"

"Have you even been listening? It's next weekend!"

"I guess I have to come then… ne?"

"You better be there!"

"Tomoyo!" said another voice from Tomoyo's end…

"Oh, Eriol, that's my mom calling… so I'll see you next weekend, ne? Ja ne!"

And all he heard after that was the dial tone…

Japan… will I handle to be there? he asked himself as he walked up to his bedroom and retire for the night…
