They ate and cleaned up.

After they figured out all the guys would sleep in the same room and ditto for the girls,Clow ran to her room and came out with lots of boxes and gave everyone a box.

Meiling was first. What she got was a necklace with a moon and stars. Next was Kero. It was a big box of sweets. "I love you!" he yelled as he stuffed his face. Then went Eriol. He got a smaller box with two rings and a note. The dark blue one for you and the purple one for Tomoyo from you. He blushed and smiled. Touya went next. He got a new pair of sneakers and a soccer ball. Tomoyo got a new camera and plenty of film. Sakura got a bracelet with cherry blossoms all over it and a star in the middle. Finally Syaoran opened his. It was a pendant of a dragon holding a ying-yang. "Arigato!" they all said. They went to bed and went to sleep.


Clow woke up during the night. Someone walked past her door. She went into the next room. It was Touya. She was in blue pajamas. He was in blue shorts.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

She went to the kitchen and came back with tea. She dropped her spoon and got it from the floor. He saw it the necklace. When she got up he grabbed it with one hand.

"Huh? Hey let go!" she said.

"You" he said.

"What are you talking about" she thought.

"Get away from her!" yelled a very angry Syaoran.

In one hand was a sword. He took a step.

"I said let go of her!"

"It¡¦s none of your business gaki."

"Ok then. Force know my plight, release the light, lightning!"

It shot at Touya but Clow stopped it with her magic. She took his sword.

(Syaoran: hey give it back {hits him in the head} Syaoran: Ow!
Clow: No now back to the story)

Touya snapped out of it.

"She can¡¦t be her" he thought.

"I can¡¦t be who?" she said out loud.

"Huh?"

"I can read minds you baka."

"Oh. What??!!!!!!!"

"Quiet!"

"Oh sorry."

"What¡¦s going on?" said an extremely confused Syaoran.

"Nothing you need to worry about. Now go."

"You'll be with the baka all alone Clow."

"I know now go."

He glared at Touya and left.

"Well ask your questions, Touya."

"Where did you get that?"

"A boy."

"How old were you.?"

"About 10."

"He was?"

"13 I think."

"Will you take it off?"

"Lie."

"Just to show me" he said.

She did and held the chain tight in her hand. He looked at it. There was a cherry and peach blossom. It looked like the necklace he gave the girl so long ago. He looked on to her eyes. They were familiar.

"Hello?"

"Oh sorry I was thinking."

"Well?"

"I .. I .. I.. thought you looked familiar."

"Oh. Gomen to have scared you."

Then Touya was reaching for her.

"Errrrrrr I told you to leave her alone!" yelled Syaoran again.

"Leave quick Syaoran he¡¦s under a sp¡K."

He grabbed her throat.

"You will die now. You trapped my brothers and sister but you will never catch me. Hahahahahahahahaha!!"

"Let go! Touya!!!! Please!" she said.

It got to him.

::Inside Touya¡¦s head::

"Leave her alone."

He let go.

She transformed she put Touya to sleep.

"I have to figure out what card it is.The attack! Attack return your might."

She was on the floor in seconds.

"Touya-kun, Touya-kun!!!"

"Huh?"

"You're okay" she said.

"Clow-sama!"

(Syaoran: you call him Touya-kun now?!!!)

Clow: yes!! You GAKI!

(Syaoran: he calls you Clow-SAMA?!!!!!)

Clow: Yes {she chokes him}

(Clow: gomen for the interruptions back to the fic)

She smiled. Then she fell in his lap.

"Huh?"

" What happened to her?" Touya asked.

" She used a lot of magic to save you. I don¡¦t know why. Youre an expendable baka."

"You little GAKI!!!!!!!"

He was too worried about Clow to care that much about him. He took her to her bed. He gently stroked her hair. It was light out. He went and made coffee for himself and the gaki. He stayed by her side. About an hour later she woke up.

"Clow-sama."

"Touya-kun?!"

" Hai."

"Are you alright?"

"Hai."

Her face was a tomato. He went and make breakfast everyone else woke up soon after. Clow went to get out of bed but he stopped her.

"Lie you don¡¦t."

He feed her she complained almost for ten minutes and then gave up. He was happy with that and let her leave her bed. She took a shower and saw him while she was in her robe he was a ripe tomato when he saw her he looked away. She smiled. She came out of her room and was in a dark blue kimono. She was so kawaii he thought.

"There is a festival today and a play at the theater. Syaoran and I are in it."

"Let's go!" says Toyomo. Video camera in hand.

***

At the theater, they changed. Her costume was pink and looked like the one Tomoyo gave Syaoran for their sleeping beauty play. He was in a tuxedo except it was all white. Everyone was enjoying the play expect Touya and Sakura. Then the kiss scene came. Both stood up and walked out. You could see the veins on their heads. They were furious.

"At least I get to kill the gaki now" thought Touya.

They went to their dressing rooms. They met the rest of the group out side the theater.

"What did you think?" asked Clow.

"I didn't like it." said Sakura and Touya in sync.

"Ok. Well lets go to the festival."

They forgot all about the play when they went to a field. Toyomo purposely separated them. Touya and Clow were in a field. There were Sakura and Touya trees. Fireflies looked like miniature stars all over the field. It smelled sweet. She heard music it was soft and beautiful. Toyomo smiled and tapped in the back round. He climbed a Sakura tree and helped her up. She smiled and took in the scene and atmosphere. Even if it wasn¡¦t for them together as a couple she wouldn¡¦t forget it. He wasn¡¦t sure if it was her but decided to take a chance. She shivered. He put his arms around her. She gazed in his royal blue eyes and found herself lost in them. He did the same to her sapphire ones. They sat there a while just staring into each other¡¦s eyes. Lost in the moment they embraced and finally kissed. It was short and sweet. It was a first touch between lovers long forgotten. It was like music once it came to them again. Like they never lost each other for those years. They continued not wanting it to end but all good and wonderful things must come to an end. It was late and dark by now.

***

Mean while Syaoran and Sakura were sitting on a rooftop. Watching the fireworks. It was bliss. They were a symbol of there feelings. Though neither of them knew it. Love was in their hearts unexpressed. It sat there waiting to be released and receive more to give. Syaoran looked at her. She was beautiful. She was heaven to him if only he could tell her the feelings inside him. Then as if beyond his control he leaned in and kissed her. She kissed back. She didn¡¦t want it to stop. She pulled him close and he returned the embrace. There they sat together alone to do as they please together. He couldn¡¦t help but smile. It was perfect. Unreal almost like a dream. If it was he didn't want to wake up. He wanted to be with her forever. He didn¡¦t care if she loved some else as long as he could be special to her he would stay for her. She looked up at him. He was handsome and her dream¡¦s wish. To be with him was her only wish. He was her. Her life, her want, her need.

Touya took Clow to dinner. She was surprised. They ate alone in a romantic restaurant. After they went for a walk.

"Arigato Touya-kun."

"Welcome Clow-sama."

They walked till about 11. They went back to the apartment. Syaoran and Sakura were sitting in the living room fast asleep. They carried them to their beds. They sat on the couch and talked. Before they knew it both were sound asleep his arms around her. Her head on his chest. The next thing they knew Syaoran and Sakura were poking them to wake them up.

"Huh?"

"Oh my god, we fell asleep out here last night" said Clow.

"Hai you did."

"Lie one wanted to wake up you looked so happy and peaceful."

" We kind of hated to wake up now."

"Oh."

They went to their rooms and changed. The girls talked about there nights as well as the boys. Tomoyo and Eriol didn¡¦t have anything to tell. Poor Meiling wanted to tell about Syaoran but her hope for that was over. He loved Sakura deeply and it was easy to tell. Clow saw Meiling¡¦s sad face and said one day you will find someone you love just as much as they care for each other. Meiling smiled. They decided to go down town. They went in a store and Sakura tried on a bunch of dresses. The last one she came out in was a short skirt and had no straps. It had a large phoenix on it. Clow immediately pushed Sakura back in the dressing room when she saw it.

"Hey why did you do that Clow?" she asked.

"That's lingerie for a newly wed bride!"

"Oh arigato."

"Welcome. I don¡¦t think Syaoran saw you. Here get dressed and we¡¦ll leave."

"Wait Clow."

"Hai?"

"I¡¦m kind of jealous of how you and Syaoran get along."

"Hoe?? Oh we are like close like brother and sister. I don¡¦t like him like you do."

"Oh."

She smiled and left. They went back to the house and all of a sudden Clow stopped and said "Do you sense a card Li?"

"Hai."

"Key of light

Magic of Clow

Send forth your might

Ancient forces of the light

Give to me your aid

Powers from far and wide

Know my plea

Send forth the wand

Release!


"Invi Card, show the alien force!"

Soon they saw a little girl she looked about 5.

"Young Card return your might-"

but before she was done with the incantation it touched Syaoran and Clow. After it was sealed a light came from the two that were touched by the card. Clow was 10 and Syaoran was 5.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh" they both yelled.

Everyone laughed. Both gave glares to everyone. When they went in Syaoran¡¦s sisters laughed. Clow and Syaoran hit each one in the head.

"Humph" they both turned and went to the kitchen.

Then Sakura came in and said "You two are awfully little to be cooking."

"You know we¡¦re not really 10 and 5. So back off!" she yelled angrily.

Sakura¡¦s eyes became glassy.

"Gomen. It¡¦s ok just don¡¦t cry now."

"Ok."

All of a sudden Kero popped out of the next room. He wanted to watch so he went to sit on Syaoran¡¦s shoulder but he yelled at him.

"Back off stuffed animal!"

"Geeze kid."

"You can come with me Keko."

"Ok Clo."

"Whoa" said Syaoran "What are you two talking about?"

"Hoe? Oh yes Kero and I are old friends so we have nicknames for each other."

" Oh."

"Hai. Keko will you please put the radio on?"

"Hai."

"Syaoran do you think I could call you Sayo?"

"Hai. Clow can I call you Clo like the stuffed animal does?"

"Hai Sayo."

"Great."

She hums to a few songs then comes Sayo¡¦s song. (Gomen I forget the Japanese name but I know translated it means bothersome girl)

He starts singing forgetting Clow is there. She smiles and continues working. Sayo blushes when he realizes he was singing out loud. Then comes a new song it was slow and sad. Clow¡¦s eye become glassy when she hears to song. She sings sadly along.

..Why did you have to go away

didn¡¦t you know how I felt

You mean the world to me

why, why did you go

is it because of what I said

I¡¦m sorry

I didn¡¦t mean it

Please come back to me

I¡¦ll wait for you ¡K.


She was crying.

"Clo are you ok" asked Kero.

Sayo just gave her a concerned look. She wiped the tears away and forced a smile. The song was over. In came Touya his eyes were slightly glassy. The song changed. He saw her eyes they were a little red and he knew why. He bent down and picked her up.

"It¡¦s ok" he whispered to her. She smiled. She gave him a quick kiss. He saw Kero on her head "why is that on your head?"

"He wanted to watch."

(Everyone knew about the cards now including Julian)

"Oh."

"We'll go so we can finish."

Sakura came in after she picked up Syaoran and told him how kawaii he looked. Clow said put Sayo down.

"Hoe???? Who?"

"Syaoran."

"Oh. Why did you call him Sayo?"

"That¡¦s his nickname from me."

" Oh. Now I can call him little wolf."

"Sakura that¡¦s mean."

"It¡¦s ok Clo."

"Clo?? Hoe?"

"That¡¦s her nickname from Kero and me. Kero¡¦s nickname is Keko."

"Oh. Keko?? Where did you go now?"

"I¡¦m right here" he said in a muffled voice.

"Where?"

"Your pocket."

"Oh gomen Keko."

Sakura walks out and a light comes from the other room. They turn off the stove and run to see what it is. Sakura was 26 and Touya was 33. Clo and Sayo laughed so hard at Touya. Ok we need to capture that card. I¡¦m guessing it¡¦s the old card. Old card return you might. On the card was on old man it looked like the time card.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh" screamed both of them.

"Its ok we can change back to our normal ages tomorrow. It works like the change card. Same place same time tomorrow."

They finished cooking and ate. Meiling came in the room with a photo album it was opened to a certain page. It was a Kawaii picture!!

(Sayo: you ,you, I¡¦m gonna kill you!!!!!!!!!!
Clow: I don¡¦t think so. Your only 5 I¡¦m 10.
Sayo: when I¡¦m older you¡¦re dead.
Clow: I¡¦m sooo afraid. He goes to hit her but she side steps him and he falls she drags him away.)

Next Day :same time as the change

She changed everyone else to their right age. She couldn¡¦t change herself and Sayo couldn¡¦t do it so Sakura had to. Clow ended up being 15. She was kawaii. She looked like Sakura.

"Uhhhhh" says a clueless Syaoran in the back round.

She looked at herself again.

"I¡¦m 15 again" she said. "I¡¦m going to have some fun now."

Touya sweat drops.

" You should really think about being 19 again."

"Hoe? Are you trying to force me to be 19 again?"

"Ummmm lie of course not."

"Humph."

Touya thought "she¡¦s like another little gaki but I like her."

"Oh we better finish dinner." She said with a smile. She wanted to help but since she looked like Sakura Syaoran didn¡¦t want her to help. She gave him a puppy dogface. He thought "I¡¦m so weak when it comes to women¡¦s sad faces." They ate and got ready for bed.

***

Clow heard a beautiful sound coming from the garden. No one else went they knew he was playing for her. Her eyes became glassy. Touya was playing for her. Did he love her? She closed her eyes and listened. She realized she was in her nightgown it looked like real gown though. He was in a t-shirt and shorts. With her magic she produced a flute. She followed his lead. Syaoran, Sakura, and Tomoyo watched from behind some trees. Her wings were spread out they were a shinning silver like the moonlight. He played it again. She got rid of the flute she made it a harp instead and sang. It was a duet he sang too while playing his violin.

Clow: I love you like I love life

Touya: I love you too

Clow: life was nothing till you my love

Touya: if it weren¡¦t for you I¡¦d have nothing to live for

Clow: love is what keeps me here

Touya: don¡¦t go

Clow: I love you like I love life

Touya: I love you too dear

Both: our love is unshakeable, unbreakable

Clow: together

Touya: forever

Clow: I love you like I live life

Touya: I love you too

Chorus: together forever (Syaoran, Sakura, and Tomoyo)

Repeat a few times till music slows and sing softly
