“Come on everybody! We’re finally here!” Fai called out cheerfully. Everyone on the bus let out shouts of excitement as they dismounted.

“Tomoyo-chan, make sure you don’t lose that camera!” Yuui smiled at her and obligingly waved at the video camera.

“Don’t worry, Yuui-sensei.” She dropped her voice to a whisper. “I’m planning to get plenty of good footage of those two.” She nodded her head at Syaoran and Sakura, who were walking ahead.

Yuui threw his head back and laughed. When Fai looked at him quizzically, he just shook his head. Not about to be denied any amusement, his twin flounced over. “What is it?”

“I bet Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan are really looking forward to spending this day together, huh?” Yuui chortled. Fai giggled, resting his head on his brother’s shoulder. “No doubt about it. I hope they have a good time together …” He trailed off thoughtfully. “Say Yuui, how about we arrange a little game?”

“Alright,” Yuui agreed once Fai had whispered his plan into his ear. “Let’s do it!” He raised his voice over the chatter of the students. “Attention! Everyone, as you all already know, we’re here at this strawberry farm to pick fresh berries for my class tomorrow. Fai-sensei and I have decided to have a little competition – whoever picks the most and the best strawberries will be Strawberry King or Queen, and they’ll get to choose their Queen or King. Along with this title, I’ll give private lessons to the winner, so if there’s someone you’re looking to impress …”

“… you better get picking!” Fai finished off with an exaggerated wink. Lowering his voice again to a normal volume, he chuckled. “Looks like Syaoran’s pretty determined; he’s already several meters ahead of everyone else.”

Sure enough, Syaoran was picking strawberries with the single-mindedness and hard working ethics he was known for. He would study each one with a frown, evaluating its form, and if he deemed it respectable enough it would get placed with care into his basket.

At the end of the day, Syaoran was by far the one with the most and the best strawberries. With the typical Fai level of enthusiasm, he was crowned Strawberry King.

“Time to pick your Queen!” Fai announced giddily. “Whoever will it be?” He shot Yuui a knowing look. Tomoyo had her camera trained on Syaoran’s face, which was steadily becoming more and more red by the moment.

“Ummm … S-Sakura-chan …?” Syaoran stuttered. “Will you be my queen?” Sakura let out a little squeak and clasped her hands to her mouth.

“Really?” she asked, blushing cutely. When Syaoran nodded mutely, she stumbled onto the stage and accepted the crown that Yuui had made earlier. Still embarrassed, she turned to Syaoran and smiled shyly. “Arigato, Syaoran-kun! I’m honored to be your queen.” She leaned forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

They were seen the next day eating an extravagant strawberry cheesecake together.
