A/N: I am so sorry I haven't updated this in so long! I just haven't been able to get into the CCS writing mood! That's why I'm working on this now, while I have time. I promise, to make up for the lateness of this, that I'll update two new chapters (4&5) really soon! Maybe even before my birthday!(Oct. 5)My birthday present to myself, having my story ready for other people to read! - I'll be updating my other stories because of the event too! So, as your birthday presents to me, please review!

Disclaimer: I no own CCS. Only Yuriko and this plot…

Review of chapter 2:

"Yuriko. I never told you how to release your staff. Repeat after me:

The key that holds the power of love,

Reveal your true form to me.

I, Yuriko, command thee under convent

RELEASE!"

"Okay!" Yuriko repeated what Kero said and her heart pendant turned into a staff. It was lavender with a heart within a ring on top.

"Wow, it's beautiful," Yuriko whispered.

"No time to admire it! We have to go get the Clow Card!" Kero reminded her.

"Right!"

Chapter 3

Yuriko, Sakura, and Syaoron ran in the direction the feeling was pulling them while Tomoyo and Mei Lin followed.

They stopped when they reached the place. At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but suddenly a giant maze popped up around them.

"What was that?" Yuriko asked in a panicked voice.

"I don't know. I've never seen anything like this before," Syaoron answered. They stood in the one spot, looking at their surroundings. It was a simple hedge maze, but it was really high.

"Oh! I know!" Sakura exclaimed, getting an idea."Sword! Release and dispel! Sword!"

Sakura's staff became wrapped in a ribbon of light and it transformed into a sword.

"Syaoron, we can use our swords to cut through the hedge!" He nodded as they began to hack at the wall of shrubbery.

"Uhm, a good idea, but it doesn't seem to be helping!" Yuriko exclaimed. "I don't think this'll give just by hitting it. Maybe…Sakura, can you try just capturing it?"

"Aww, but Sakura-chan looks great on camera while trying to cut the hedge!" Tomoyo exclaimed, slightly upset. Everyone sweatdropped.

"Uhm, Daidouji-san…I don't think that's a good enough reason for Sakura to not try something else," Mei Lin told her, sweatdropping.

Sakura untransformed her sword and took a deep breath. "Return to your true form! Maze!"

The maze started to deteriorate and the sparkling particles came together as a card that floated into Sakura's hand. She smiled brightly and quickly wrote her name on the bottom of the card.

"One more card to add to our collection!" Everyone smiled happily at their victory. "Thanks for the suggestion, Yuriko!"

"Huh? No problem! Just wanted to help! Maybe we should be getting back to the store. If I'm gone for too long without an excuse, I'll get in trouble," She told them, laughing nervously. Everyone laughed and they left.

"Yuriko! Where have you been! The afternoon rush just started! Come and help us! We're a little short-handed!" Touya said angrily as she and the others entered the store. It was true; the bakery part of the store was overcrowded. At least they didn't have to worry about getting customers.

"Be right there!" Yuriko ran to the back where she changed quickly and went back to the counter. Immediately, she was bombarded with requests and orders.

"G-Guys! This might take a while! Do you mind coming back in half and hour? By then the rush should die down!" Yuriko yelled over the loud noises of the crowd.

"Alright! See you later!" The four of them disappeared out of the door. Yuriko sighed before twice as many requests and orders pounded down on her poor ears.

Even half an hour later, the crowd was still huge. Not as big as before, but Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoron and Mei Lin couldn't even get into the doors. They had to wait until about fifteen people left so that they could squeeze through the doors.

"Man, it's crowded in here. I hope Toriyama-san is doing okay," Mei Lin voiced her worry.

"Well, we know their business is doing okay. That's a good thing," Tomoyo interjected.

Over the crowd, Yuriko saw her friends. She waved to them, but it was way too crowded for them to even see her. She tried calling out to them but the noise was too loud for them to hear her. She got frustrated and gave up.

"Miss! Over here!"

"I've been waiting! Where's my cake?"

"Excuse me, I'm waiting to order!"

"Hey! I was here first!"

The crowd was fighting for her attention and Touya and Yukito were having as much trouble as she was. The customers weren't letting up. Every time someone left, two people came to take their place.

Sakura and the others were able to fight their way to the front.

"Need any help?"

"Yes! Please! In the back room are extra uniforms!" The four of them nodded before dodging the people and entered the back where they changed, the girls in one room and Syaoron in another. They exited to find the crowd just as big and rowdy as ever.

They all collapsed from exhaustion onto the chairs around one of the tables. They had been working for an hour straight. Touya and Yukito had gone home already. They were all just trying to relax, which was hard since they were panting.

"That…was…the most…work…I ever…want…to do," Sakura said, completely tired.

"Lucky you…I might have to do this again tomorrow… oh, god I hope not!" Yuriko said, whining slightly.

"Now I know how it feels to work hard…It's actually not that bad, once you get past the exhaustion and pain," Tomoyo said, trying to sound positive.

"Yeah, well, maybe not for you, but I'm not going to try that again," Syaoron mumbled, too tired to talk normally. Mei Lin just nodded.

"I'm so sorry that you guys had to work, but it's been a really big help for us. We can't pay you, so instead, you can get one thing, whatever it is, for free," Yuriko's mother said, coming into the bakery from the behind the cash register in the other part of the store.

All of them brightened up at this, but were still too tired to move.

"Uhm, mom…Maybe when we can move, we'll take you up on your offer. Right now, I don't think we can even stand,"

"Ha ha! I understand! Just rest for a while. I'll take over the bakery for you while you rest," her mother said with a laugh.

They smiled at each other and, if possible, collapsed again.

After they could move again, they ventured into the now deserted store to get what they earned from their hard work.

The girls where fawning over the jewelry and pins. Tomoyo found an amethyst-colored pendent that matched her eyes. Sakura found an earring-necklace set that was emerald-tinted glass. Mei Lin had a harder time figuring out what to get. In the end, she decided on a sword-shaped pin with ruby red jewels encrusted in the hilt.

Out of all of them, Syaoron had the hardest time. He had no idea what to get. He didn't need anything, but it would be rude to refuse a gift. He searched around but couldn't find anything.

"Hey, Syaoron! Follow me. I think I may know of a section that you might find interesting," Yuriko said, taking his arm and leading him to another part of the store.

"W-wow!"

"I thought you might like it!" Yuriko said with a smile.

A/N: Hey, what cha think? Not bad? I hope not. Anyway, I'm kinda stuck about what Syaoron should get. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to tell me! I'll gladly appreciate it and the next chapter will be dedicated to you! So, please review and give me ideas! Ideas for chapters will be greatly appreciated too!
