Hey! Oh my God! I'm so happy! For two reasons:

One: My exams have finally finished! And;

Two: I have gotten to 400 reviews! I'M SO PROUD!

Ok... before I address the reviewers, I have something I'd like to say...

I deliberately made it 30 reviews, because I DIDN'T think I asked for too much of you readers. To be honest, for the last four chapters, I have gotten 40+ reviews each. And, considering that this story is on 72 people's alerts, I think that it is fair that I don't ask for 50.

Oh, and if you complain about the number of reviews I'm asking for, I WILL NOT count it in the review count... Considering that I had someone tell me that they're GLAD that I upped it.

Ok... I think that's it... The REVIEWERS:

Kanna, xoxhugsandkissesxox, Foxy-chan, Eternal Starlight, tammy, Rebecca, Angel-Shellz, lozipozivanillabean, Yunique, M207, Noir Rose, Kenshoumaru, Sam, thereviewergirl, MzEvilBlossoms, Phantom Deamon, Shadow, Starangelxviii, sakurayoh, Susspirinho, kenshinlover2002, Pure hope, vampelgirl3, SweetAnimeAngelSakura, PinkCh3rryBlossom, ffgirl-07, ccslover4life, FallingToDeep, Jane, kawaii-bunny, VampireJazzy, meow-mix23, jenn, hila, elisa ang, jennarose120, KawaiiQuerida-chan, SxSlova, AnimeJunkie, Cherryblossom93, hyperkilly16, and finally,my favourite 400th (well... ok... ONLY 400th...) reviewer, Awak3 inxth3 Forgott3n Snow!

Now! On with the chapter!

Chapter 16

Wake Up... Birthday Girl!

"So, Tomoyo..." Eriol slipped his hand into her's, "What are we doing for my birthday?" Tomoyo caught the suggestive tone in his voice, and blushed.

"I won't castrate you." She choked out, letting him know that she wasn't impressed, "That's my birthday present to you. Consider it volatile... It might disappear at any time." Eriol laughed, and nuzzled her ear.

"You wouldn't do that to me." He whispered into her ear, giving her goose bumps.

"Yes..." Tomoyo breathed, "Yes I would..."

"No you wouldn't." Eriol turned her around, and kissed her soundly. Tomoyo wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him back. They stayed like that for a little while, until Tomoyo broke it.

"I need your help with something..." She whispered, cuddling him closer.

"What?" He asked, not entirely sure he wanted to know.

"Help me get Sakura and Syaoran together?" She practically begged, "Please?"

"No." Eriol had fear in his voice, "The last time I did something you asked, I got choked. Or did you forget that?"

"Oh..." Tomoyo whined, "Please? Please, please, please, please, please? I'll do anything!" She begged. Eriol laughed..

"Alright..." Eriol whispered, and kissed Tomoyo again. She squeeled in her happiness.

MORNING

Sakura woke up to the sound of birds chirping in the backyard, but didn't open her eyes. She noticed a little shift in weight beside her, indicating that Syaoran was still asleep. She opened one of her eyes, and her gaze landed on him. He was lying there, awake, looking at her. He smiled when he saw that she had woken up, too.

"Good morning." She said cheerfully, "How are you today? No cold from being in the rain last night?" Syaoran shook his head.

"Nice greeting, Sakura." He joked softly, leaning in, "But I have a nicer one..." He whispered, and leaned in even closer to her. Her eyes fluttered closed, and his face was just a fraction away from her's when...

CRASH!

THUMP!

CRASH!

Sakura bolted up in her bed, confused. It was a dream? Why was she so disappionted? She didn't have time to dwell on this, however, because Syaoran came rushing through the door, and leaned on it to stop anyone getting through. He was panting, and had a look of utter terror on his face. Sakura frowned at him. She was just about to ask what the heck was going on, when she heard someone yelling.

"Eriol!" Tomoyo's voice boomed, "You come out here right this instant! You too, Syaoran! I need help hanging this thing! It's not our place! Meiling's parents are gonna have a fit if you don't fix it!" Syaoran opened the door a fraction and stuck his head out.

"I'm not climbing up there! Make Meiling do it! She has more balance than I ever will!" He tried desperately.

"Syaoran!" Eriol barged in through the door, and leaned on it, too, "You gotta stop her! She's gone mental!"

"She's your girlfriend!" Syaoran hissed, neither of them paying Sakura any attention, "And you knocked it down! You should be the one suffering, not me!"

"Ahem!" Sakura was angry by now, "Kindly explain to me, exactly what are you doing at..." She read the clock, "Four in the morning, making such noise?" She sat in the bed, blankets pulled up to her chest, looking very angry indeed. She had even mastered Syaoran's infamous 'fatal-death-glare-of-doom' for the occasion. Both of the young men quivered.

"I choose Tomoyo's wrath!" Eriol practically squeeled, and rushed outside again. Syaoran was just about to follow him, when Sakura dug her nails into his wrist.

"What the fuck is going on?" She demanded, none to pleased with her unceremonious awakening. Syaoran gulped.

"W-well," He stammered, then tried to gain some sort of composure, "Eriol was being an idiot, and knocked down the... thingy that Meiling's parent's have in the loungeroom. Now Tomoyo's trying to make both of us hang it back up..." Sakura blinked.

"Thingy? What thingy?" She gripped his arm tighter. Syaoran went white, and tried to pull his arm away.

"The... the first thingy that they bought!" He tried. The colour in Sakura's face intensified as she tried not to laugh.

"You-you don't mean..." She laughed, "That condom hanging on the wall?" Syaoran nodded, and Sakura fainted from laughing so hard.

LATER

"She's coming too!"

Sakura groaned as she was sat up by a pair of strong arms. She felt the body sitting behind her shift to support her weight, without getting too uncomfortable.

"Are you ok?" She heard Syaoran whisper behind her. She nodded, and Tomoyo's face swam into view in front of her. Both of them were wearing a look of grave concern.

"What happened?" Sakura said groggily. Syaoran and Tomoyo looked at each other, and Sakura remembered.

"Scratch that." Sakura said, cutting Tomoyo off as she began to say something, "What time is it?"

"It's five." Tomoyo glanced at the clock, "Sorry about that... Eriol is currently paying for being so stupid. Don't worry about it... Meiling's gonna cover it up until her parents get back, so no one has to see it." She added. Sakura nodded, and tried to stand. She was still a little woozy, and had to lean on Syaoran for support.

"I need fresh air." She complained, rubbing her eyes. With a final look at Syaoran, Tomoyo took her arm, supported her back to the bed, and sat her down. Syaoran muttered something about Meiling, and left, closing the door behind her.

"I can't believe you're finally sixteen!" Tomoyo gushed, tackling Sakura down onto her back, giggling, "Little Sakura is finally all grown up!" Sakura, who's strength was finally returning, laughed, and pushed Tomoyo off her.

"Yay!" She giggled, and threw her hands up into the air in mock triumph. Tomoyo laughed, and rolled over onto her stomach.

"Happy birthday!" Tomoyo giggled, and kissed Sakura's cheek, in a friendly way, of course. Sakura did the same to Tomoyo, just not the happy birthday part.

"So, did the three of you wake everyone else up?" Sakura asked a few minutes later, now feeling completely fine.

"Actually, everyone else was already up." Tomoyo laughed, "You were the only one still asleep." Sakura was wide eyed.

"What in the world were you all doing up at four in the morning?" Sakura gasped, horrified. Tomoyo smirked.

"We're excited!" Tomoyo gushed, "I mean, it's not like you let us plan any other of your parties!" Sakura laughed nervously. She was beginning to regret that decision. It sounded like Tomoyo had gone a little overboard.

"Ok... I'm going downstairs now." Sakura sighed, and got up. She looked back at Tomoyo's hand now resting on her arm.

"Not yet! We have to pick out an outfit for you, first!" Tomoyo exclaimed, "I have just the thing in my room!" She dashed off into the hall, and returned, half a minute later, with something pink and green draped over her arm. Sakura eyed the garment with fear. Knowing Tomoyo, it felt either too tight, or too lose. Not that she didn't make the right measurements... She deliberately made them that way. And, Sakura had to admit, they did look good, even though she had trouble moving.

"What is that?" Sakrua eyed the clothing warily, "Is it another of your creations?" Tomoyo nodded, and shook the clothes out. Sakura stared, wide eyed, at the dress. It was a summery dress, with a pink bodice that prominantly showed her clevage. It had a green waist, and the short pink skirt had frills under the bottom, reaching to her knees, and flared a little. There were green vines embroidered into the bottom of the skirt, winding up to her waist.

Sakura sighed, and knew that Tomoyo was going to force her to wear it, one way or the other. She pulled the dress over her head, and adjusted the top of the dress to allow her chest to sit more comfortably inside it. Tomoyo stood back, and admired her sewing as Sakura fidgeted to get a more comfortable fit.

"It's cold." Sakura shivered, rubbing her bare arms, "I hope it warms up soon." Tomoyo just snickered, and pulled out her comera.

"Today, Sakura, I predict a day to remember!" Tomoyo declared, while taping Sakura twirl around in the new dress.

"You say that every year!" Sakura pointed out, scared of what Tomoyo was planning. Whenever Tomoyo said that, it was usually very embarassing for Sakura.

"And am I right every year?" Tomoyo grinned evilly. Sakura decided that she'd had enough.

"I swear Tomoyo, try anything," She threatened, "And I'll never speak to you again!" Tomoyo laughed.

"And you say that every year." Tomoyo reminded her, "But you never mean it." Sakura laughed.

"I suppose so."

The pair of them laughed as they walked down the stairs together.

Ok... If you haven't noticed, the only IMPORTANT thing in this chapter was the Tomoyo and Eriol bit at the beginning. This was basically my lame attempt at humour in this little bit.

OK... Now, for your sakes, I am asking you this...

Do you think this story should contain a lemon scene? I can PROBABLY write one (Though it may be delayed a little bit...), and it would go RIGHT at the end. It plays a VERY important part for the sequel I'm planning. The (ahem) scene will have taken place anyway, you just won't read it if not enough people want me to write it.

Ok, I'll keep you posted on those results. I haven't decided how long it will go for, yet, so I'll let you know when voting stops.

Ok... I think that's it...

OH! BEFORE I FORGET! I'm co-writing a story called "Love is a Rocky Road" with the (ahem) self-proclaimed "Lemon-Mistress" (her words, not mine), A.K.A, MzEvilBlossoms. I ask that you check it out. It's under the Pen Name MzSparklyEvilFaerieBlossoms. But, because we don't get to communicate too often it won't be updated as often.

Ok! 30 reviews. Don't forget.

Oh! And, for the anonomous reviewers who don't have accounts, if you want me to alert you when I update next, leave your email in your reviews, and tell me so. I'll send you an email when I update. The sender column should say "Sparkly Faerie", or something like that, ok?

Well, that's it for now!
