| 10 The days couln't pass fast enough for Sakura. There were still three weeks to go | |
| 11 before Christmas, and she was getting rather impatient. The days passed slowly, yet steadily | |
| 12 and Sakura waited. It wasn't as if she was idle, far from it. Sakura and her best friend in all | |
| 13 the world Tomoyo Daidouji would pass the remaing days by going to the park after shool, or | |
| 14 to go shopping for presents. As the last days of school dragged on, semingly to do so just to | |
| 15 annoy Sakura, Sakura got more and more anxious. She loved Christmas, in fact it was her | |
| 16 favorite holiday. Not for the receiving of presents (though that was certanly part of it), but to | |
| 17 be with those she loved. And those who loved her back. Tomoyo was also looking forward | |
| 18 to this Christmas for specific two reasons. One was that this year, Sakura was going to spend | |
| 19 it over at Tomoyo's house. Her friend had said that she was always with her family, and that this | |
| 20 time she wanted to be with Tomoyo. That, in fact, meant more to Tomoyo than any present, but | |
| 21 Sakura insited that she had a special gift for Tomoyo this year. And so that was the other | |
| 22 reason. Because the two girls had hardly spent any time apart for the past month, or really the | |
| 23 year, Tomoyo was dumbfounded at how Sakura had managed to get her a gift without her noticing. | |
| 24 They did all of their shopping together, or so it seemed anyway. Nontheles, Sakura maintained | |
| 25 that she had a present for Tomoyo that Sakura knew Tomoyo had wanted for a long time, | |
| 26 even if she hadn't said anything. The days continued to pass slowly, but at least, Sakura reasoned, | |
| 27 they passed. Christmas vacation had started and Sakura went out to shop with Tomoyo again, | |
| 28 this time for her family. She bought some new clothes and a book for Touya. A really big | |
| 29 book on ancient civilizations for her father. Yukito was going to get a big box of chocolates | |
| 30 and a book on the magical properties of the moon that Shaoran had aquired for her in Hong | |
| 31 Kong. That one was also for her as much as it was for Yukito's other half. Sakura had | |
| 32 already sent Shaoran a present which she hoped arrived on time. Sakura even got Tomoyo's | |
| 33 mother a gift, with a little help from Sakura's father. It was a picture of Sonomi and Nadeshiko | |
| 34 when they were in high school. On the back it read "Sonomi - I will always treasure you and | |
| 35 love you, Nadeshiko." Sakura's father had told her that Nadeshiko had written that after | |
| 36 they got married, and that she had wanted to give it to Sonomi so she wouldn't be angry | |
| 37 anymore, but then decided not to for reasons that she kept to herself. Sakura got Kero | |
| 38 a ridiculusly large box of candy and she also intended to make him a large cake and a lot | |
| 39 of pudding. Finally Sakura's shopping was done, and she and Tomoyo went out to get some | |
| 40 hot chocolate. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 With agonizing slowness, December 25th came closer and closer. Sakura counted | |
| 43 the days on her calender and was nearly bouncing off the walls with anticipation (with her | |
| 44 magic, she actually considered doing just that to relieve some of the tension, but decided against it). | |
| 45 When Kero asked why she was so anxious, she said, | |
| 46 "Because, Kero-chan, I can't wait to be with Tomoyo-chan and give her her gift. I'm also | |
| 47 really nervous about it, what if something bad happens, what if I mess the whole thing up and | |
| 48 I hurt her? I just couldn't stand it if that happened." | |
| 49 "But you know what you have to do, I've seen you practicing." | |
| 50 "Hai, but thats not the real thing. If she gets hurt it will be my fault and I won't be able to forgive | |
| 51 myself." | |
| 52 Kero gave up trying to console Sakura. He knew there was no reasoning with the Cardmistress. | |
| 53 | |
| 54 At long last Christmas Eve came. It started to snow around noon, and Sakura was busy | |
| 55 getting ready to go to Tomoyo's house. After supper she packed all the things she would take | |
| 56 with her and said goodbye to her father, brother and Yukito. Then she called out the Fly card | |
| 57 and lept into the air as angelic wings sprouted from her back. She waved goodbye one last time | |
| 58 to her family and Kero, then took off towards her best friend's mansion. When she arrived she | |
| 59 let out a gasp of awe as she gazed at the Daidouji residence. It was as if she had landed at Santa's | |
| 60 House itself. There were large snowmen all over the yard and the fountain in the middle of the | |
| 61 sidewalk looked like a giant ice sculpture. Every tree looked like a Christmas tree as they were | |
| 62 all decorated with ornaments and lights. The house itself had thousands of multicolored lights | |
| 63 that sent out rainbow rays all over the lawn and were refracted by the icicles on the mansion and | |
| 64 the various lawn statues. Along with the lights in the bushes and the ice crystlals sparkling all over | |
| 65 the place, the effect was simply mind blowing. If Sakura didn't know better, she would have sworn | |
| 66 that Tomoyo's house had been decorated with magic. She walked up to the door and rang the bell. | |
| 67 almost immedietly the door opened and there stood Tomoyo. Sakura gasped at the stunning dress | |
| 68 her best friend was wearing. It was a shimmering silk periwinlke dress with a lace frill at the hem. | |
| 69 It had lace at the end of the sleaves so that Tomoyo's hands were just covered, but not in such a | |
| 70 way as to become a nusiance. The neck line dropped a little bit but not so much as to forgo | |
| 71 modesty and was also rimmed with lace. Tomoyo was also wearing soft silk slippers of the same | |
| 72 color as her dress and her hair was falling in shimmering waves down her shoulders and back and | |
| 73 had a single bow in it of the same color as the dress. Tomoyo was smiling as she opened the door | |
| 74 and greeted Sakura. | |
| 75 "Sakura-chan, please come in. I want to show you the tree." | |
| 76 "Hai Tomoyo-chan." | |
| 77 Tomoyo led Sakura through the entrance hall to the living room and pointed at the largest Christmas | |
| 78 tree Sakura had ever seen. Sakura thought that the outside decorations had beed spectacular, but | |
| 79 they were nothing compared to this Christmas tree. The tree was covered with brilliant white lights | |
| 80 that made it seem as if the tre itself was made of crystal. At various spots on the tree there were | |
| 81 small decorations that were just large enough to see, but did not take away from the lights. At | |
| 82 the very top was an angel that looked so real that Sakura started when she saw it. The angel was | |
| 83 shining even more brightly than the rest of the tree, if that was possible, and when Sakura looked | |
| 84 at it closely, she thought it had a slight resemblance to her. the whole thing was so bright Sakura | |
| 85 wondered how anyone could sleep with it plugged in. She looked at Tomoyo who was beaming | |
| 86 as brightly as the tree at Sakura's awestruck face. | |
| 87 "Hoe, Tomoyo-chan, it's so bright. | |
| 88 "Do you like it Sakura-chan?" | |
| 89 "Oh yes, its beautiful, almost as beautiful as you look in that dress." | |
| 90 Tomoyo beamed even more at this and gave Sakura a hug, which Sakura returned. Sonomi came | |
| 91 in and Sakura gave her her present to put under the tree. The three stayed up late talking and | |
| 92 reminising about passed Christmases. Eventually Sonomi said they all had to get to bed, for after | |
| 93 all, the sooner you get to sleep, the sooner it will be morning. Sakura and Tomoyo walked up the | |
| 94 stairs to Tomoyo's room and changed into their pajamas. As they got into bed Tomoyo said, | |
| 95 "Sakura-chan, I didn't see you bring my present, did you forget it?" | |
| 96 "Nope. Don't worry Tomoyo chan, I have your present, but you have to wait for tomorrow." | |
| 97 "Hai Sakura-chan. I can't wait." | |
| 98 Tomoyo in truth hd no idea of what was going to happen tommorrow, but she would treasure it | |
| 99 for the rest of her life. The two girls snuggled closer for warmpth an slowly drifter off to sleep. | |
| 100 | |
| 101 In the morning the sunlight crept across the floor of Tomoyo's room and woke the two | |
| 102 girls up instantly when it hit their eyes. | |
| 103 "Hurray! It's Christmas!" shouted Sakura as she jumped up and down on the bed. | |
| 104 "Ohaiyo to you too Sakura-chan." said Tomoyo with a smile. | |
| 105 "Oh! O-Ohaiyo Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said, blusshing furiously. Tomoyo just smiled even more | |
| 106 and laghed good-naturedly at the embarrased Cardmistress. They both rushed downstairs to the | |
| 107 living room and just about dove into the large pile of presents. Sonomi rushed in to take pictures | |
| 108 as all mothers do, no matter how embarrasing. Sakura and Tomoyo tore through the gifts like a | |
| 109 wolves in a herd of deer. Wrapping paper flew as they discovered one delight after the other until | |
| 110 there was nothing left. Suddenly Tomoyo said, | |
| 111 "Sakura-chan, I didn't find your present. Are you sure you brought it?" | |
| 112 "Hai, Tomoyo-chan. I have it. This is something I know you've wanted for a long time, even though | |
| 113 you didn't say anything. I'm really nervous here, and I'm afraid I might hurt you." | |
| 114 "Don't worry Sakura-chan, I know you would never hurt me on purpose." replied Tomoyo. | |
| 115 "Well then, here goes." said Sakura with a nervous expression on her face. | |
| 116 Sakura put her hands on the sides of Tomoyo's head and closed her eyes. She began wispering some | |
| 117 odd words that soudened like another language and her hands began to glow. Suddenly Tomoyo | |
| 118 gasped as she felt a warm glow in her chest. The glow grew larger and warmer until it seemed to | |
| 119 fill her up completely. When Sakura took her hands away, Tomoyo looked confused and asked | |
| 120 Sakura what she did. | |
| 121 "Tomoyo-chan, I dicovered a spell that would allow you to use magic for one day. It was very | |
| 122 difficult to do, and I was afraid I would mess up and end up hurting you." | |
| 123 "Sakura-chan are you serious? I can use magic?" Sakura nodded and Tomoyo's eyes lit up. | |
| 124 "Thats wonderful! Arigato Sakura-chan." | |
| 125 "But it's only for one day so..." | |
| 126 "That doesn't matter, Sakura-chan. You've given me somthing I never thought I could have, and | |
| 127 that means all the world to me." | |
| 128 Sakura smiled and looked Tomoyo in the eye. Tomoyo looked at Sakura and and the two girls | |
| 129 leaned forward and kissed each other lightly. | |
| 130 | |
| 131 The End | |
