    1.16 +"Hiiragizawa-kun," Tomoyo scolded, returning Eriol's selection to the wall
    1.17 +rack, "you're impossible. Why can't we just get her chocolate, like
    1.18 +everyone else?"
    1.19 +
    1.20 +Eriol favored Tomoyo with that special smile he reserved for those times
    1.21 +when he was planning something genuinely diabolical and therefore needed to
    1.22 +look as innocent as possible. "Not impossible, Tomoyo-san. Merely
    1.23 +difficult. Everyone gives chocolate on Valentine's Day in Japan--wouldn't
    1.24 +you rather do something special for Sakura-san?"
    1.25 +
    1.26 +Eriol knew it to be a mistake the moment he said it. As soon as the word
    1.27 +/Sakura/ passed his lips, Tomoyo once again got that far-off look of
    1.28 +orgasmic pleasure that meant she was visualizing Sakura in something
    1.29 +frilly, handmade, and probably better left at Victoria's Secret if it
    1.30 +weren't fitted for a teenager.
    1.31 +
    1.32 +Sure enough, Tomoyo whirled and clasped her hands together, declaring,
    1.33 +"Before, when she was capturing and mastering the Clow Cards, there were so
    1.34 +many different outfits I could've made for her! Why, there was this one I
    1.35 +made that one year--"
    1.36 +
    1.37 +Eriol waited for Tomoyo's gushing description to end, a patient and
    1.38 +indulgent smile on his face. "And now that it's long over," he said in an
    1.39 +attempt to steer the conversation back on track, "what should we get her?"
    1.40 +
    1.41 +Tomoyo tapped thoughtfully at her chin, looking around the store. "I don't
    1.42 +know," she said with such despair that she sounded as if she were
    1.43 +confessing to a double-murder. "The problem is, anything we buy her will
    1.44 +just embarass her."
    1.45 +
    1.46 +"Undoubtedly," he agreed cheerfully. "So then, what about this one?"
    1.47 +
    1.48 +Tomoyo shook her head firmly. "Too plain. It would never do for her."
    1.49 +
    1.50 +"And this?"
    1.51 +
    1.52 +Another shake, side-to-side. "No, that shade of green is wrong for her.
    1.53 +What about this?"
    1.54 +
    1.55 +Eriol halted in his tracks for a moment, thinking. "No," he said after a
    1.56 +brief pause. "We're on the right track, but it's too glittery."
    1.57 +
    1.58 +"But Sakura-chan /likes/ glitter!" Tomoyo protested.
    1.59 +
    1.60 +"Oh yes," Eriol said with a winning smile. "But I think perhaps this is
    1.61 +the wrong occasion. On the other hand..." His eyes wandered over to another
    1.62 +section of the store. Tomoyo immediately saw what he'd spotted, and her
    1.63 +eyes glazed over. "Oh, that's perfect! Absolutely /perfect!/
    1.64 +Hiiragizawa-kun, we absolutely have to get that for her, it's just the
    1.65 +right shade of pink, and she will completely /die/ over it!"
    1.66 +
    1.67 +Eriol winced at the volume of Tomoyo's voice, and hooked his arm in hers
    1.68 +to guide her in the right direction. It took some work, since she was busy
    1.69 +bouncing up and down and generally attracting attention with her
    1.70 +exclamations. Laughing gently, he picked up the item in question, and
    1.71 +turned it on. It gave off faint buzz, which died after a few seconds.
    1.72 +"We'll have to buy batteries, of course."
    1.73 +
    1.74 +"Oh, don't you worry about that," Tomoyo said with the gleam of rapture in
    1.75 +her eyes. "I have plenty of those."
