Hiro skipped his way into the classroom and skipped over to Sakura's desk. "Ooooohayo Sakura-san!!" And hugged the young brunette, "Ohayo Hiro-kun" she sweat dropped because Hiro has a really cheery personality than a calm, cool and collected ones guys usually contain.

Syaoran just watched the boy hug his girl…wait…did he just say his girl? No no it can't be true. Hiro turned his head a little so he could see Syaoran's reaction. He could tell that Syaoran was burning over at his desk and Hiro smiled evilly and poked his tongue out at Syaoran.

His eyebrows narrowed and his hands were balling up in fists. He was mentally cursing the young raven-hair boy. He stopped cursing when he heard a question that floated its way to his ears Sakura-san do you want to go ice skating with me tomorrow? Of course he fumed even more.

Sakura nodded. She absolutely couldn't deny an invitation to go ice skating since it was her favourite sport. Hiro smiled and he turned to face Syaoran "You are invited as well Syaoran-kun"

"Sure I'll come as well." he accepted the invite with an annoyed smile. Hiro beamed with happiness "YAY!! That makes 5 people going including myself!" Sakura wandered the other 2 people who are going.

"Hiro-kun, who else is going?" Sakura asked the beaming lad. He placed his index finger on his chin and replied with the same pose "You, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol and me."

Sakura was happy that her best friend was also going as well and the young man seated behind her was also happy because he wasn't going to be stuck with an annoying guy who is trying to that his girl away from him. There he goes again…Sakura isn't his girl. He was shaking his head the get rid of the thought.

Sakura looked at him quizzically "What's wrong Syaoran-kun?" He looked up and shook his head "No…it's nothing…" he mumble but it was clear enough to be understood by Sakura. "Oh okays." she cheerily replied.

Tomoeda Ice Skating Rink

Everyone was in the skate hire area, placing their skates on. Tomoyo and Eriol were the first ones done. Tomoyo helped Sakura put hers on and Eriol helped Hiro. Syaoran didn't need any help since he has been skating before and knows how to put his skates on, though he still doesn't know how to skate steadily.

Tomoyo and Eriol were the first to step onto the ice and were skating in minutes. Sakura stood at the side gripping onto the wall for support and stared at the couple in awed.

Tomoyo skated to Sakura and stretched her hand towards her "Want to learn?" Sakura gratefully took her offer and nodded.

After a few minutes, Sakura got the hang of it and was able to skate by herself. She was skating and was day dreaming and then she had collided with Hiro.

"Gomen gomen honto ni gomenasai!" she kept apologising, Hiro sweat dropped "Ahahaha no need to apologise Sakura-san." he helped Sakura back on her feet.

They stood there having a chat when the others came and joined in. Halfway through the conversation, everyone heard someone call Hiro's name.

They turned to the direction where the voice was coming from and saw a girl with purplish-bluish coloured hair that was pulled into a ponytail and she had maroon coloured eyes, skating their way.

She wore a simple yellow t-shirt with a denim skirt that came above her knees. She stopped right beside Hiro. "Hiro! I haven't seen you in AGES! How have you been!?" she exclaimed. Hiro lightly laughed and replied "I know I haven't seen you in ages as well!! I've been good! What about you?" The dark haired girl giggled "Same here…ne who are these people?"

"These people are my friends from school. Everyone this is my childhood friend Hanari Kitsune." Kitsune grinned "Hanari Kitsune des! Nice to meet you all!"

Sakura smiled back "I'm Kinomoto Sakura. This is Li Syaoran, my best friend Daidoji Tomoyo and her boyfriend Hiiragizawa Eriol.

"Ohhh I see…" Kitsune replied while wandering her eyes all over Eriol. Tomoyo grew jealous and hugged her boyfriend's arm possessively and glared at Kitsune.

Kitsune glares back and the girls started a glaring contest. Eriol nervously smiled and was trying to think of something so the girl he had just met could stop glaring at his girlfriend. He thought of something "Hey is anyone hungry?"

The girls snapped out of their glaring and looked at him. Soon after he had asked the question, Tomoyo's stomach rumble and soon after that was followed by Sakura's rumble giving him an answer.

They had lunch at the café inside the ice skating centre. "Ne…anyone up for a strawberry sundae?" Kitsune asked. Sakura was the first to answer "Oh me me!" Kitsune giggled "Well why don't we order 3 sundaes and it is a sundae between 2 people?" Everyone agreed and Kitsune ordered 3 strawberry sundaes.

The waiter had brought the sundaes and placed them on the table. "Ne…Eriol-kun…you want to share a sundae with me?" Kitsune asked seductively. Tomoyo fumed and declined Kitsune's offer for him. "No thank you…he is sharing with me…isn't that right Eriol?" she smiled at Eriol.

Eriol nodded and smiled apologetically "Yeah…she is my girlfriend after all." Kitsune pouted in defeat "Fine I will share a sundae with Syaoran-kun!" and looked towards Syaoran's way. He lifted his head and looked at her with a spoon in his mouth. His face said 'what did I miss?' Kitsune saw the sundae he was eating from and then moved her eyes towards the person on the other side of it. Sakura saw her looking at her "Do I have something on my face?"

Syaoran laughed and took a napkin and wipe the cream on her face. Sakura blushed and giggled "Arigatou Syaoran-kun."

Pouting once again seeing as Syaoran already has someone to eat the sundae with and shared a sundae with her childhood friend. Tomoyo giggled evilly and mumbled "Oh…someone got rejected twice…"

Kitsune did not miss a single word that had just been spoken and turned away from her dessert and glared Tomoyo. Tomoyo pretended to be innocent and smiled. Eriol quietly laughed at his girl's actions. And gave her a kiss on the cheek. Kitsune didn't like the scene she had just witnessed and turned back to her sundae.

Hiro was not surprised about her actions. "Ki-chan…you gotta leave them alone…they've been a couple long before you came alrights?" Kitsune stuck her tongue at him and replied childishly "Well I can't help it…I mean you got damn hot guy friends…and if that guy is taken then I will target that chocolate orbed one next…" Hiro wanted to strangle her right there and then but resisted.

He sighed before answering "Ki-chan…you know about my plan…and if you mess the whole thing up…you absolutely know who is going to kill you…". "Oh whatever…" she replied before digging into the sundae with her spoon.

After they finished eating, they went back onto the ice. Sakura was skating with Syaoran and tripped over a little bump in the ice and fell backwards. Before she could hit the ice Syaoran grabbed her by the waist so she wouldn't fall.

She sheepishly smiled "Arigatou Syaoran-kun." Syaoran smiled with a tint of redness on his cheeks "You are really clumsy today."

"Hehehehe you think so? Or is it because I have bad luck on my side today?" she asked while skating slowly with him. For security, she hooked her arm with his. He didn't blush but inside he was melting.

While skating pass a few people, they heard compliments and comments about them, not that they mind or anything like that. When they pass an old lady who was sitting down at the seats, she asked "Are you young people a couple?" Syaoran blushed and so did Sakura "No…we aren't a couple, do we look like one?"

The old lady smiled and nodded. Sakura thanked the old lady and started a small conversation. Syaoran just stood there listening to the females talk. Sakura didn't realised that her arm was still connected with Syaoran's. The lady turned to Syaoran and popped a question to him "Young man, when are you going ask the special question?"

Syaoran knew exactly what she was saying while Sakura who was quite dense had no idea what she meant. He looked away blushing "I don't know…sooner or later…" the lady gave a light laugh and Sakura asked what she meant, her only reply was "You will soon know."

Sakura still didn't understand what the lady meant but felt like it was a little rude to ask so she kept her mouth shut. When Sakura and the lady had finished their conversation, Sakura bid the old lady a good day and so did Syaoran and skated off together.

While skating, Sakura tripped once again over a little hole in the ice but this time she brought Syaoran down with her. And they onto the ice well Syaoran did, Sakura fell on top of him. In the process she nudged him in the hip quite hard.

She stood up and help Syaoran while doing so she apologised. Syaoran told her that he was fine. "Are you sure that you are okay? Because I remembered that I did nudge you somewhere with my elbow." Syaoran nodded "Yeah…I'm okays, you just nudged me in the hip but other than that I'm really fine." and gave her a reassuring smile.

Sakura calmed down "Yeah…I think I have bad luck on my side today." The couple didn't noticed that everything that had happened was taped by none other than Sakura's best friend Tomoyo.

"Hehehehe…they look so cute together!" she squealed. Her man was standing next to her "Tomoyo…can you quit filming them and skate with me?" Tomoyo looked and saw his innocent pleading look, she grinned "Well with a little convincing I might."

Eriol smiled and bent to her level, their lips connected for a brief moment. When he stood upright and looked at his Tomoyo "Will that be enough to convince a beautiful young lady like yourself?" Tomoyo was melting at his words inside and complied to his request.

She placed her camera back inside her bag and skated with her boyfriend. Another person caught every scene that had just happened. Biting on her handkerchief, Kitsune was sobbing like a fan girl with her, Hiro was sitting there and watching his long time friend with 'face the truth' written all over his face.

Tomoyo was enjoying herself with Eriol. They were doing spins and turns while skating. The girls that the couple passed were watching them in aw. When the couple had stopped their tricks, they skated towards their best friends who were also a part of the auidence.

Tomoyo smiled "Sakura-chan, you having fun with Li-kun?" Sakura nodded happily "He helped me when I tripped over a bump in the ice." Tomoyo smiled at Syaoran. He blushed and looked away "It's was n-n-nothing…she was going to fall…so I-I-I had to help her…" he mumbled the last part.

Tomoyo couldn't help but giggle. Sakura smiled happily "Yeah, he was great help!" and faced Syaoran, she stood and high as she could so her mouth was next to Syaoran's ear. She whispered a little thanks before retreating back.

Tomoyo and Eriol laughed softly together. "Sakura-chan you want to skate together?" Sakura turned and nodded eagerly. And the girls went off leaving the boys behind.

Eriol smiled "Ne Syaoran….when are you going to pop the question to her?" Syaoran sighed knowing that he had no chance against his best friend. "Well first of all, you are the second person to ask me that and second I don't know…sooner or later but I'm going to ask her."
