MMG 7: Amusement park
Yelan-san: My prophecy has come true! Only one person reviewed!
Yatsuiko-chan: (weeping in a corner) I'm soooo depressed!!!! (Looking at the review) Oh well, I might as well continue this story. Thanks to those who read this story. Thank you, AngelEmCuti, for reviewing. This is for you!

Eriol stood at the kitchen, looking at his 'supposed-to-be-guardian'.
"I'm so excited for you! I'm so excited for you!" Nakuru exclaimed repeatedly.
"Ruby moon… Nakuru calm down. You're more excited than I am"
"But you'll go to an amusement park! Isn't that exciting?! You could go to rides and eat cotton candy! It will be soooo much fun!!!"
"I almost forgot that you haven't been to an amusement park…"
"She acts as if she was born yesterday" Suppi's cold voice came as he hovered above the kitchen table.
"How about this… you can go to the amusement park. But in one condition"
"I'll do anything!"
"Find someone who will accompany you there… except Spinnel Sun"
"Aww… wouldn't Suppi-chan be sad here alone?"
"I'll be happier without you here." Spinnel said coldly then added, "Thank you, Eriol-sama"
Nakuru frowned, thinking deeply. 'As if she has a brain' Suppi commented. Then she smiled.
"I know! I'll call Sakura-chan's onii-chan!"
"Well then, if I will see you there, we will just tell them that you are my cousin"
"Okay!"
Eriol went outside the house and picked some roses. He took one for Tomoyo but then remembered that he isn't anywhere near courting her so he took one for Sakura. He walked down to the amusement park where they will meet.
(A/N: I was thinking of Eriol giving Syaoran roses for the funny part of it… but I almost choked with the thought)
5201314&520131452013145201314520131452013145201314520131452013145201314
"Eriol-kun! Here!" Sakura excitedly yelled. Eriol walked calmly to her.
"Good morning, Sakura-chan. Where are the others?"
"Syaoran-kun just bought some drinks for us"
Eriol took out the rose and handed it to Sakura. Sakura blushed and stuttered, "Anou… you don't… you don't need to… give me a rose… you can just give them to Tomoyo"
(A/N: Eriol's effect on her is similar to Yukito's effect on her though lesser)
"I'm giving one to Daidouji-san too"
"Then why are you giving this?"
"You're my friend. I value you like the roses of my garden"
A mixture of happiness and sadness flashed on her eyes. 'Why did I say that? I'm just hurting her more' Eriol thought regretfully.
Syaoran arrived with two orange juices. He handed one to Sakura then glared at the rose.
"Where is Daidouji-san?" Syaoran asked.
"She said she will be waiting at the bump car"
5201314&520131452013145201314520131452013145201314520131452013145201314
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura greeted happily
"Good morning, everyone" Tomoyo greeted with a small smile
They walked towards the line for the bump car ride. Eriol took out the rose and gave it to Tomoyo.
"Thank you, Hiiragizawa-kun. It's lovely"
"You're welcome" Eriol said then whispered, "Tomoyo"
Tomoyo smiled secretly
5201314&520131452013145201314520131452013145201314520131452013145201314
They rode all the rides and had fun. (A/N: Just imagine. Exercise your imagination… hehehe… I'm too lazy to explain)
"The only ride left is the Ferris wheel" Tomoyo stated as they sat on the benches.
"Let's rest for a while" Sakura panted
"I'll buy Ice creams for us" Eriol suggested.
"I'll help you. Both of them seem tired" Tomoyo went beside Eriol as they walked to the snack store. Eriol gathered all his courage to ask a simple question.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Helping you?" Tomoyo asked with an impish smile
"You're an intelligent person, Daidouji-san. I'm… you know what I mean"
"Oh… but I dare not answer such indirect question. Misinterpreted questions can be fatal" Tomoyo answered playfully
"Why are you letting them be with each other?" Eriol asked patiently
"We have freedom"
"Misinterpreted answers can be fatal too" Eriol said
"Let's just say, my heart had been broken but that doesn't mean it can never be fixed. In fact, I feel it's glued together now"
No other words were uttered but they fully understood the silent messages they have for each other.
'I care for you. I knew your heart was broken and I want you to be happy now' Tomoyo could almost hear his voice
'I'm happy now, thank you' Eriol could almost hear her voice
Tomoyo smiled as she remembered something.
-Flashback-
Tomoyo placed the roses she picked at their garden.
Ding-dong!
The sound of the doorbell startled her, causing her to drop the vase she was holding. Eriol came in, accompanied by her maid. Eriol rushed to her side. He saw tears forming on her eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
"This is a vase given to my mother from father…"
Eriol felt a sudden urge to make her happy
"Leave it to me. Please don't cry. Go get some water for the flowers. When you return, this will be as good as new"
True to his promise, when she returned, it was as good as new. He stood there, holding a glue gun and smiling to himself. A mysterious smile even the perceptive Daidouji Tomoyo couldn't decipher.
"Thank you" she said and then added on her mind, 'for fixing my mother's vase and… for being the glue in my newly fixed heart'
(A/N: Why didn't Tomoyo asked Eriol about the vase that miraculously became good as new, without cracks? Answer: Eriol is a mage here. When did she got-over Syaoran? I'll tell you on the right time)
-End of flashback-
"What flavors?" The saleswoman asked
"One chocolate, one vanilla, one strawberry and one coffee crumble" Tomoyo recited
"When did you memorize those?"
"Each of our favorites corresponds to our own personality" Tomoyo said simply.
Warmth enveloped his heart. Somehow, knowing that she knows all of them made him happy. They took the ice creams and went to Sakura and Syaoran.
After they ate, Sakura dragged them to the Ferris wheel because she was overly excited.
"Who will go together?" Tomoyo asked Sakura since the Ferris wheel can only carry two passengers per cabin.
"Tomoyo-chan, why don't you go with Eriol-kun? You'll be more comfortable with each other"
"Come to think of it… Hiiragizawa-kun and I are always together. Why don't you go with him and I'll go with Li-kun?"
Sakura was skeptic at first but when she thought about it, she realized that Tomoyo was right. She nodded.
They went to their respective places. The Ferris wheel rotated slowly.
"Anou… long time no talk" Tomoyo said hesitantly
"Yeah… Sorry, I never had a chance to talk to you" Syaoran said then thought, 'and explain'
"It's okay now. I've forgiven you"
"What? ...Why?"
"You like Sakura-chan, right?"
Syaoran blushed and stuttered, "How… Is it…I don't know"
"I know you like her. It's obvious"
"You're still as kind as ever. You haven't changed at all"
"Thank you"
Finally, without anything more than a few words, they were friends again.

"I suppose our plan wasn't wasted though we didn't continue it" Sakura initiated
"We didn't really put it in action. I guess it wasn't really successful because the main part wasn't started"
"But I'm happy for you. You're friends now"
"Thank you. It seems that you are happy too. I'm glad"
"I'm happy because my friends: Syaoran-kun, Tomoyo-chan and you, are all happy"
"You sound like Daidouji-san"
"Do you still like her?"
"Like always"
"Just wait"
5201314&520131452013145201314520131452013145201314520131452013145201314
After the ride, they peacefully walked together to the benches. Their burdens have been dropped as their cabins descended. They knew that life, like a wheel, would continuously rotate. And even if they were below the wheel of life, they would stick together.
On the way out of the amusement park, Tomoyo saw something that caught her attention:
"Know the future with Madam Rose!"

Yatsuiko-chan: What do you think? I want to thank again, AngelEmCuti. I wish you liked this chapter!
Attention: I will rewrite the first chapters. When I read them again, I saw how boring they were. Sorry!
