UPDATING BEFOR THE SCHOOL MAHEM STARTS AGAIN )

"He-hello? Xiao Hu? Yeah, it's me, listen, I-I can't see you tomorow, I th- urg I-I'm comming down with a cold."

From the sound of the voice you could tell that person has been crying alot lately.

"Huh, sure, whatever Sakura, see yo-"

"Are you done yet?" a seductive voice called out, unheard by the person on the other line.

"Look, Sakura, I hope you get better soon. Call me when you do. Bye."

Before she even had time to reply the sound of the phone hitting the receiver was heard.

The young woman then cried herself to sleep, thinking of the events that unfolded that night.

FLASHBACK

"Sakura! Get your ass down here this instant!"

"I'll be down in a sec!"

Five minutes passed, or if you will, 300 seconds, before the young maiden finally arrived at the bottom of the stairs. To say she was beautiful would have been an understatement. She was absolutely breath-taking. On her was an elegant black Dior dress with a big, puffy black ribbon on the left shoulder. (The one Charlize Theron was wearing at the Oscars, if it wasn't Dior please correct me). Her shining auburn hair was tied into an elegant, yet messy bun and simple yet small diamond earings were hanging by her ears. She wasn't wearing really high heels. They were silver colored and matched the simple heart-shaped necklace that hung from her neck. On her you could smell a little bit of perfume, presumably 'Happy', by Clinique. All in all, she was ravishing and dashing. She was really a sight to behold.

Her friend, on the other hand, was in a simple design that could only have been made by her, for her. It was a strapless, velvet colored gown if you prefer. Not those kinds that you stick whale bones in to make it puff out after the upper-body. No, it was completely different. It clung to her well and not too tight and it flowed at the end. It reached more then the tip of her toes butfit magnificently. Her heels were the same as Sakura's except in black.

What to expect from Eriol? No, he didn't wear a dress but a simple tux. No wrinkles to be seen, straight tie, clean and polished leather shoes. (Are those the types of really black shoes cz I really don't have an idea. Heheh). The perfect gentleman really.

"Uhh, what are you both staring at?"

Tomoyo started to cry.

"My baby is a woman now!"

"Tomoyo, I think we need to give Sakura-chan a little bit of space, for now, she looks red."

With that Sakura's blush got even deeper. "Eheheheh, eheh, let's just go, shall we?"

In a matter of minutes they were in the front of this prestigious looking place. Not to small yet not over-reactingly big, just right. They headed in and the waiter, instantly recognizing them, I mean, who wouldn't? showed them to their seats. The restaurant was really one of a kind. The tables were made of dark oak, polished till every spot on the surface shined, and they didn't use any table cloths like all those other restaurants. Sakura also noticed they had one of a kind tables; tables for one, tables for 2, tables for 3, tables for 4, etc. Really, the tables for 3 were shaped like an equilateral triangle, those for 1, a not so wide, not so long rectangle, and they were always against the walls for maximum comfort. Everyone, she also noticed, had a smile on their faces and there were no smokers. It consisted of two floors, the main one for the public and just about anyone, the second floor was private reservations only. And to the second floor they went.

As the waiter showed them to their table Sakura was surprised it wasn't designed for three, but for four. He handed them the menu and left. That's when Sakura's interrogation began, as well as the downfall of the Daidouji/Hiragizawa master plan.

"Why is this table made for four?"

"Sakura, since when has a table been made for three?", Eriol asked trying to be the interegator, and not the one being interrogated.

"Since today", she said as she pointed the the triangular table. "The waiter must have made a mistake, common let's just move, I mean, this place is practically vacant anyway."

She was right, apart from the trio, only two other couples were in the spacious room.

"NO!", this time it was Tomoyo's response.

Since Sakura had a questionning, and slightly fearful look on her face she decided to elaborate.

"Uh, I mean, I requested this table, you see, this, along with some people from work, is where I was sitting when Eriol proposed to me."

'Phew, good save Tomoyo.' was the thought crossing the couple's mind.

"Well, since it IS so special to you, why not?"

"Are your orders ready?" the waiter sudenlly came back and asked.

"Ye-"

"NO! See, um, is it possible for you to come back in five minutes?", Tomoyo asked.

"Not a problem." and with that the waiter left.

"Tomoyo! What's wrong with you? I'm dying for my medium-rare!"

"Gomen Sakura-chan, but, can you come with me to the washrooms, I umm... I'll tell you there." She gave Eriol THE look and he nodded in understanding.

HEADQUARTERS HEHEH (WASHROOMS)

"What was it you wanted to talk about again?"

"Sakura-chan, you see, Eriol & I haven't been completely honest with you."

"What are you talking about? Daidouji, you better start explaining things right now."

"Well?" was all Sakura could think of saying ash she impatiently and continuously tapped her foot against the solid marble floor.

An act which made Tomoyo even more desperate for time, and desperate to escape her friend's wrath, if not now, later.

"Well... you see..."

WITH ERIOL

A pair of eyes darted across the room anxiously hoping his dinner partners haven't left due to his late arrival. Relief flooded them as soon as he saw the blue-haired, wire-rimmed glasses man.

"Eriol, long time no see." a deep masculine voice said when he finally approached the man...

As Eriol turned he greeted the man before him.

"Well..."

HAHAHAH! I'm sooooo evil eh? But you guys probably figured who the man is ne? I'm sorry if it's short but I'm just dying to join my brothers for my tenth, while its their first, viewing of 'Just Like Heaven' it really is a good movie and Reese's performances in movies are almost always academy-award winning or at least deserve to be. I also loved 'Sweet Home Alabama' and 'Walk the Line'.

Ja!
