14 Sakura lay thinking in bed, covered by a fluffy down quilt. Unable
15 to keep her thoughts to herself, the girl whispered softly, "Tomoyo-
16 chan, are you awake?"
17
18 "Hai, Sakura-chan," came the sweet and melodious reply.
19
20 Sakura hesitated a minute, and then asked tentatively, "Tomoyo-chan,
21 um, can I ask you something?"
22
23 "Sakura-chan can ask me anything she likes," the cheery voice
24 answered.
25
26 Sakura rolled over, and saw the dark-haired girl lying on her side,
27 gazing at her with starry eyes. She blushed, as she always did when
28 the girl regarded her with such overwhelming adoration. She tried to
29 calm down and compose her thoughts, but only when she looked away
30 could she continue,
31
32 "Tomoyo-chan, why did you do your series the way you did? I mean,
33 why did you end Card Captor Sakura like that?"
34
35 The voice that replied seemed genuinely puzzled, "Like what, Sakura-
36 chan? I'm sorry, I don't believe I understand."
37
38 Sakura looked at the radiant girl, clad in a charmingly lacey pink
39 and green nightgown. This didn't help her concentration at all, and
40 she spoke in a halting voice,
41
42 "I mean, why did you have me end up with Li-kun like that? The last
43 picture of the manga looked like I was just falling into his arms or
44 something. Or more like I tripped and fell. I know I'm sort of clumsy
45 sometimes, but why Li-kun?"
46
47 Tomoyo smiled brightly as she answered, "Because you looked so cute
48 together."
49
50 "Cute? He's practically scowling in every picture we're in. I think
51 he liked posing even less than I did. Even I can see we'd be a
52 terrible couple. He's always grumpy, doesn't like to talk, and when
53 he does it's just to complain about something. Oh, that would have
54 been a great marriage!” Sakura was wound up and spoke excitedly, “I
55 can see it now: I've spent the whole day fixing up the house,
56 preparing a lovely dinner, and I'm wearing my prettiest dress for him
57 when comes in, plops into a chair, turns on the TV, and yells out,
58 'Beer-u!'"
59
60 Tomoyo giggled, covering her mouth daintily with a slender hand.
61 With undimmed enthusiasm she replied, "But it was a maho shoujo
62 story. I had to have a happy ending for my pretty Cardmistress."
63
64 Sakura stared in disbelief, "Happy ending? What kind of happy ending
65 was that? What's happy about me being stuck with Li-kun? At least you
66 could have given me Yukito-san." At that, Sakura's cheek colored
67 crimson, which brightened Tomoyo's ever-present smile even more.
68 Tomoyo suddenly looked thoughtful, as if reviewing a complex
69 mathematical equation,
70
71 "But then poor Touya would have been all alone. And he worked so
72 hard at all those jobs, and he really was a wonderful brother, even
73 if he did tease my precious Sakura-chan sometimes."
74
75 Sakura's fist shook in helpless rage and a vein popped on her
76 forehead as she recalled the sweet memories of childhood, "Sometimes?
77 Grrrrrrr. All my life it was, 'Hey, monster. What are you doing,
78 monster? Did you ruin supper again, monster?'” Calming down a bit she
79 asked, “Well, why not Mizuki-sensei? Why didn't he end up with her?"
80
81 She was aware of Tomoyo's giggling again as her blood pressure
82 gradually returned to normal. The pale girl smiled again and replied,
83
84 "But what about poor Eriol-kun? He'd been waiting for a special
85 someone for hundreds of years. It just seemed too sad to leave him
86 all alone at the end."
87
88 Sakura thought about this in silence. Eriol-kun was far too
89 manipulative for her liking, but she couldn't argue with Tomoyo's
90 sense of the dramatic. In a rueful voice she noted,
91
92 "Well, at least Mizuki-sensei was closer to his age. Not like those
93 awful doujinshi you showed me."
94
95 Tomoyo laughed out loud at the disapproval in the genki girl's
96 voice. In a bubbly tone she asked innocently, "You don't believe he
97 and I made a good couple? We are both dark-haired and pale, so we
98 looked very nice together, don't you think?"
99
100 Sakura practically exploded, "Tomoyo-chan, it was awful! You and
101 Eriol would be horrible together. The whole idea is just, just
102 stupid. What kind of crazy people write those things, anyway?"
103
104 Tomoyo looked thoughtful again as she spoke in her musical voice, "I
105 suppose you're right. I mean, we are both sort of eccentric, but I
106 don't guess I have a thing for older men. Especially when they are
107 really, really, really, older." At this Tomoyo burst out in a fresh
108 gale of giggling, and Sakura restrained the urge to toss a pillow her
109 way. She also realized how gloriously happy the girl's laughter made
110 her feel.
111
112 "I don't remember you having much of a thing for really, really
113 young men, either," Sakura teased. She looked at those breathtaking
114 azure eyes that regarded her now with such love and affection.
115 Suddenly, the auburn-haired girl turned serious as she spoke,
116
117 "Besides, what kind of happy ending is it when Tomoyo-chan is all
118 alone? It's like you just faded away, and I never even knew. I was
119 crying at the end. I didn't like it. I would never let that happen.
120 Never."
121
122 Tomoyo reached out and softly caressed the satin-smooth cheek of the
123 girl beside her. Her fingers played with the silky, cinnamon hair
124 that sparkled in the glow of their little Kero-chan nightlight. She
125 saw the tears, more precious than diamonds, glittering at the corners
126 of those wide, emerald eyes. Tomoyo's voice was sweetly reassuring,
127 like a mother comforting a child awakening from a bad dream,
128
129 "I'd never want to make my Sakura-chan sad. I'm so sorry if I did.
130 But stories should be like that, don't you think? Happy-sad, I mean.
131 Otherwise it just doesn't seem right. Besides, I did get a happy
132 ending. I have Sakura-chan, who makes me happier than anything else
133 in the whole world."
134
135 Sakura smiled through her tears, and felt a breathless rush as the
136 pale girl leaned towards her. The lavender hair fell in a scented
137 cascade, like a waterfall of petals that tickled her bare shoulders.
138 Sakura closed her eyes, her heart throbbing wildly. After an
139 exquisitely long pause, she felt the brush of those feathery soft
140 lips. She trembled as Tomoyo kissed her, a slow, voluptuous kiss that
141 sweetly shook her heart and aroused her awakening senses. She opened
142 her eyes and saw the luminous face above her, lips glistening wetly.
143 In a tremulous voice she whispered,
144
145 “As long as you have a happy ending , too. Then it’s all right.”
146
147 Tomoyo gazed silently at the lithesome form below her, and murmured
148 liltingly, “Kisses always make for a happy ending. And happy
149 beginnings, too.”
150
151 With that, she fell into the gentle arms of her beloved Sakura-chan.
