Tomoyo ran around frantically, straightening a lamp cover here and wiping the counter there, looking in the mirror and fluffing her hair and running another light layer of lipstick on her lips before whipping out the vacuum and lifting the chair to clean under it.
"Tomoyo, if you vacuum any more, I think the carpet's going to fall out."
The other girl stood and placed a hand on her hip, staring at Sakura. "I just want to make sure that it's clean before he arrives and walks into a pigsty."
Sakura raised an eyebrow and walked over to the sink, rinsing her hands before drying them on the hand towel hanging from the stove. "I don't think you have to worry about that. I can practically see myself in the counter." As if proving her point, she stared at the counter and ran a few fingers through her hair, biting her lip nervously.
Tomoyo sighed and nodded, reluctantly putting the vacuum down before perching hesitantly on the edge of the couch. "It's almost time to go meet him at the airport."
"I know. You nervous?"
"I should be asking you that," she replied, glancing at Sakura with an apprehensive look in her eyes. She still couldn't believe that she was willing to do this for her. She just couldn't imagine what kind of hurt she was going to put Eriol through once he found out that she wasn't Sakura.
The other girl shook her head and pulled her jacket on, tugging her hair so it rested on her shoulders. She grabbed her keys from the side table and muttered, "Not much I can do about it now. But I suppose we should go pick up your man."
A small blush marred Tomoyo's face as she whispered, "He's not my man..."

A navy-haired man stood at the gate with a pleasant smile on his face, his slate blue eyes peering casually and observing the people that walked by with wide smiles on their faces as they greeted their loved ones.
He scratched his cheek absentmindedly as he stared through the crowd for an auburn-haired girl. He nearly dropped his suitcase on his foot as he caught sight of a slender, tan dark-haired girl walking towards him, and in an instant, he knew it was her.
She carried herself with a prideful stature, her hair falling to just above her shoulders so they just brushed them. Her hips were curvy and her breasts were small, but her stomach was flat and her legs were nothing short of amazing.
Eriol prided himself on being a gentleman, but when he had seen such a beautiful woman as this Kinomoto Sakura, he couldn't help himself.
But the most amazing feature about her was her eyes. Her picture didn't do them justice. They were a bright emerald green, and they sparkled every time a single shaft of light crossed their path. It seemed like her eyes were the windows of her soul, and he gulped nervously as she approached him.
It was only when she walked closer did he notice that she had a companion following her, and once again, he almost felt his jaw near drop.
Silky amethyst hair swung down to the girl's waist, slightly curled at the end, and vivid amethyst eyes stood out from a pale, smooth face. Curvy hips and long, slender legs peeked out from a short blue skirt, and a small gold anklet could be heard jingling even from where he was standing as she walked.
She seemed not to be focusing on much of anything but her feet, however, and her arms were clasped behind her back.
As they reached him, Sakura stuck out her hand and said, "Hiiragizawa Eriol, I presume?"
He extended his hand and stared into the girl's eyes. "You've guessed correctly." Tentatively, he raised her slender hand to his lips and placed a small kiss on the back of her palm, delighted when she blushed a little. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance... in real life, I should say. And who might this other lovely young woman be?"
The other girl looked up, startled that he had even acknowledged her, and locked eyes with him. Eriol felt a small, pleasant chill work it's way down his back as he stared into her eyes, and then the girl smiled, and he almost felt his heart stop. She was beautiful when she smiled. Her eyes lit up in happiness, but the smile on her lips was a little sad for some reason.
"My name is Daidouji Tomoyo. It's nice to meet you, Eriol."
Eriol's eyebrows knotted together and his heart picked up rhythm as she began speaking. How is that voice familiar? It sounds just like Sakura's... He reached for the hand she had stuck out, a little jolt going through him as their hands touched. Once again, they stared into each other's eyes and Tomoyo bit her lip, pulling her hand away before tucking a stray strand of amethyst behind her ear and staring sideways up at the ceiling.
Sakura looked between the two and smiled a little, glancing at Eriol. "Shall we go, then? There's a hotel not too far from where we stay, and I was wondering if you could stay there, since we have no room in our apartment."
He smiled back. "Of course not. After all, I feel like I'm intruding on you and it would be a little uncomfortable if I were to stay near you."
Tomoyo turned and began walking, her hair bouncing with each step she took. Sakura nodded at Eriol and said, "Let's go, then."
He made a slight sound of affirmation and picked up his suitcase and his laptop, following the two girls as he thought, This oughta be an interesting few weeks...

Authoress Notes
Yeah, I know this chapter sucked. This chapter was just filler for them meeting Eriol in real life and all that blah, blah, but I hope I didn't suck too bad at this chapter. Just lemme know in a review, I guess. Bye, guys!
