Chapter the Third: In Which Dresses And Plans Are Made And Sakura Gets the Strong Feeling That She Should Move To Borneo
Tomoyo twirled around in her room holding several dresses at once, dreaming of how they would look on her beloved cousin (although not loved enough that Tomoyo wouldn't tease her love interest and embarrass him, causing Sakura to be embarrassed as well because her brother just has to ask, "This is the stupid gaki that you like so much?").
Eriol wasn't particularily listening to Tomoyo's insane ramblings. He was sitting down on Tomoyo's chair writing down his twisted plans, dreaming of the reactions of his beloved descendant (although not loved enough that Eriol wouldn't humiliate him every chance he could). He had just finished making his 100th plan (how he was going to fit all of them into one small date he hadn't quite figured out yet) when he decided to open his ears again. It was a good thing too.
"And Sakura can wear a cute pink dress and Syaoran can wear a nice suit! And I'll wear my black stake out clothes so that I'll look professional and you can wear some new dark blue robes so that you look like the evil magician! I even have some pre-made sketches!"
At this, Eriol grew very scared. He laughed nervously. "I'm not even the one going on the date! How about I get a last minute job as waiter so I can blend into the crowd? That way we can focus more on what Sakura can wear! We want our lovely cherry blossom to look her best, don't we?"
Tomoyo thought for awhile. "That works too." Eriol wiped his forehead and gave a sigh of relief. "Say Eriol, how do you think this one will look on Sakura? Or this one? Or how about this one? Well?"
Meanwhile…
Sakura was washing the dishes while Touya dried them. Sakura sneezed. "Are you alright Kaijuu?" Touya asked.
"I'm okay…Have you ever got that weird feeling that someone's talking about you and that for your own safety you should get plastic surgery and run and hide in Borneo?"
Touya shuddered, remembering a certain energetic being named Nakuru. "All the time, Kaijuu, all the time."
At the Same Time...
Meilin smiled. Here she was on a plane to Japan. She couldn't wait to see Tomoyo again. Then she could go back to 'helping' Syaoran express his feelings for Sakura (Meilin's idea of helping involved tying Syaoran to a tree with duct tape and pinning a sign to his shirt that said "I love Sakura!" on it, or sticking him inside a box on Christmas and giving him to Sakura, but he escaped both times). She couldn't wait to team up with Tomoyo. She couldn't wait for all the fun she'd have 'playing' with her cousin! Meling made a high pitched giggle that scared all of the people on the plane.
