I warn those who believe Sakura and Tomoyo are entirely two-dimensional, happy, goody-two-shoes to beware, because in this fanfic, they are very unlike two-dimensional, happy, goody-two-shoes. This fanfic explores many relationships including Sakura/Syaoran, Sakura/Eriol, Tomoyo/Syaoran; as well as mentioning remnants of Tomoyo/Eriol and Sakura/Tomoyo.
Also, if you noticed, the phrase "A girl with kaleidoscope eyes" is from the song 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' by the Beatles. The song gives me a rather nostalgic feeling and it makes me think of this fanfic as somewhat dreamy and cloudlike. The chapter titles are phrases from the song.
Prologue: Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
Everyone agreed that the couple was rather young to be getting married, it seemed that most marriages fell apart rather quickly these days. Being young, they would most likely run into more troubles and they didn't know what they were getting themselves into. The groom was eighteen, and only a week had passed since the bride's eighteenth birthday party.
It was rumored that the couple was going to get married even sooner, but the father of the bride wanted her to wait until she was at least eighteen. So the couple decided to get married after her birthday.
The groom was now waiting for the bride to come, he was handsome in his tuxedo and he was fiddling with his tie. His eyes darted nervously from the floor to the back where his bride would come. He picked up a hand and smoothed it over his brown hair. He cleared his throat once and began to mutter a little until a dark-haired, dark-eyed man with glasses put a hand on his shoulder for comfort, then removed it.
However, when the bride came out from the back, everyone looked at the confidence in her eyes and everyone saw how the groom looked at her with such love. Such pure love. It was then agreed that if any couple, young or old, could survive a marriage, this couple would be a perfect example.
The bride smiled at her husband to be, a twinkle in her emerald eyes. The groom smiled back at her, all traces of nervousness disappeared and he suddenly had a burst of confidence come out from no where. He now knew that whatever happened, he would be with his bride because he loved her, and that was all he needed.
She walked up the isle, her maid of honor following her with a gentle smile. The bride was now side to side with her groom and vows were being read. As the two stared into each other's eyes, brown into green and green into brown, she softly whispered 'I love you Syaoran' and he softly whispered back 'I love you Sakura'.
And then they were married. He swore he had never seen her more beautiful, she never grew out of her cuteness as a girl and her big eyes were full of happiness. Her face was radiant, glowing with happiness. Her red hair was swept back in a French bun and she wore a shoulder less white gown that trailed off into infinity.
Soon they began to dance, it seemed there were flowers everywhere; hanging gloriously from the ceiling, petals scattered across the floor, a few in her red hair. They danced and danced, twirling and spinning for what seemed like forever.
She then threw her bouquet and the maid of honor caught it, a look of surprise on her face. She looked towards the best man and this look of pain flashed in her dark eyes before they reverted back to an emotionless calm. She walked towards him.
"We need to break up." She said it quietly, so not to ruin the joining of Sakura and Syaoran. Her voice was soft, her eyes wistful for a second.
Eriol, the best man nodded briskly. "I know," he nodded his hand nonchalantly.
Sakura, the bride ran up to them, her new husband dragged along by her hand. "So you guys next?" she asked excitedly.
Tomoyo looked at Sakura, "I don't think so," she gave one of her cryptic smiles. "We've broken up." Her voice held no real emotion, just a fake sweetness.
Sakura and Syaoran look at the two smiling people with utter surprise, they were so incredibly sure the two would get married. Even though the two had never shown any real affections towards each other the way Sakura and Syaoran did, they were sure that the two had been in some form of love. Tomoyo and Eriol had always been polite to each other; when they announced their relationship it was a shock since it was out of the blue, and now that they broken up, it was once again a shock.
"Broken up?" Sakura asked incredulously.
"Wh-how?" Syaoran was just as confused as his wife. He began smiling inside as he thought of the phrase, his wife. It felt so nice and warm saying it. His wife, his wife, his wife… Sakura. He began to sigh and this dreamy look invaded his face until Sakura shook him and pulled him into an even more happy place. Her laughter made him feel whole, it made him feel… he didn't know quite how to explain it, but it was a good feeling. An incredibly good feeling, an incredibly amazing feeling.
"You've been drifting off again!" Sakura accused as she laughed aloud and poked Syaoran. "You've been doing that a lot since our engagement plans, is there something I should know about? Some other woman?" she said jokingly.
Syaoran automatically blushed, "Erm… No."
"Was that hesitation I just saw?" Another accusation followed with laughter that was being let out by a girl who tried hard to keep it in.
"No! I love you! I was just thinking about how it is to call you my wife and how good it feels and how I have this indescribable feeling and … oh shoot, I'm just so happy right now," Syaoran has a flustered look on his face, his cheeks red, he took a deep breath. People around them looked at him, some laughter. Eriol has an altogether amused look as Syaoran babbled on too fast, running out of air. Sakura laughed again, she had never been so happy.
Tomoyo gave another once of her cryptic smiles, though this time it was smaller. One of her white hands smoothed her dark hair while she looked at a small, silver watch on the slim wrist of her other. Her dark eyes flickered for a moment, "I should go now."
"No! You have to stay!" Sakura said, somewhat whining. "And we have to plan out your wedding, you do have to get married now! You caught the bouquet!"
Tomoyo smiled again. "But I must go. Goodbye all."
Tomoyo then began to walk away until a somewhat teary Sakura ran to her to give her a big bear hug.
"Come visit our new home soon!" Sakura whispered in her ear.
"I'll be sure."
Tomoyo left, leaving Eriol, Sakura, and Syaoran staring towards her exit.
Sakura turned to Syaoran, "Besides the fact that Tomoyo just left, I don't believe I've ever been so happy.
Syaoran smiled back, about to reply a loving comment but instead,
"Hey, where did Eriol go?"

The next chapter is two years later, and yes, things break and renew.
