LOVE YOU SO

Disclaimer: CCS isn't mine. But the story plot of 'LOVE YOU SO' is mine.

Summary: Sometimes in life, the princess has to do the saving. Why? Because Prince Charming is also human and needs encouragement. If she won't, Prince Charming will disguise himself as a pauper and runaway from duty.

A/N: Okay, I know you might want to scold me, or hit me with a pan right now for not updating my other stories. But come on, I just really have to write this one and I feel like it's a waste if I don't post this now.

Introductory Chapter

Someone once said, "Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree."

Most girls seem to believe that being a princess is the happiest thing on earth. You get to wear the prettiest dresses, walk with the most dazzling shoes, and dance with the most desirable boys.

Maybe. (shrugs)

I couldn't really defer, since being princess is almost every girl's dream. Putting it simply, I, Tomoyo Daidouji am living the dream.

I often find myself thinking, maybe just maybe, if every girl would get to live the life of a princess, they'll realize it's not that special at all.

More than the classy chandeliers and the tastiest champagne, it's about accepting your fate to be forever on the headlights.

As for Prince Charming, well here's the funny part. Being princess, you're sure to have an endless line of suitors, from sons of government officials to business tycoons to actual monarchs. I've had them alright, only to realize that even princes in capes can be frogs on the inside. There are so many frogs I was starting to believe Prince Charming was a lie because no man would ever qualify his standards. Needless to say, the apples at the top of the tree need to be very careful in choosing.

So really, what's there to like about the princess life?

If there's one thing, it's that you have so much you can give a lot.

People look up to you. You have no choice but to be someone worth looking up. You can't be weak. You should always be strong. You should always look your best, be confident even when you're feeling insecure. Yeah, believe it, even with the glamour, a princess is after all a girl.

If you ask me, any girl can do that. Being princess just gives you a stronger push to be better, so much with the nagging parents and the media coverage.

Before you get the wrong idea, I'm not really a monarch. I don't have royal blood. I just happen to be living like one. You'll get that when you're the daughter of the owners of Daidouji Designs and Daidouji Toy Company.

Well I did say I'm a Daidouji, didn't I?

Needless to say, I'm more of Princess Aurora without the curse or Snow White without the evil stepmom. My parents are both living and healthy, thank you very much.

I'm no Cinderella either. I have no disabilities whatsoever, and I'm not locked up in a castle. I'm just 16, and my parents trust me enough to make wise decisions.

All I want in life is to do something significant. What that is, I still don't know. I just have one life to live, and I just want to make the best of it.

I often feel like God is blessing me with so much.

Academics aren't a problem. Finances aren't either. As for beauty and talent, I was born with them.

Perfect life? Maybe.

But perfect girl? I know I'm just not.

Ever since I was little, I always find myself meditating on my father's words.

"There's always a reason for everything Tomoyo, even for both happiness and sadness. There are times when you're made happy because someone out there needs you to make them smile.

I really liked what he said. I like the feeling of making people happy so I always find the opportunity to help the needy.

Dad approves of sharing blessings to the poor, so I had no problem. But he did give me another quote to meditate.

"Sometimes Tomoyo, it's not always the one with dirty clothes that need the greatest help. Sometimes, hurt is dressed in fancy clothing, and a smile could be covering a wounded heart."

I really wanted to understand what he means. There are times when I want to believe I fully get it, only to end up confused.

I really wanted to do something significant. I really wanted to make people smile.

I really wanted to find that one person who needs my help.

I ended up helping the orphans, assisting in health organizations and doing charity works.

I was trying so desperately to feel like I've fulfilled why I was so blessed for.

It took me a while to realize I was searching in the wrong places, because the one who needs my help the most isn't the beggar on the street. The beggar may by poor, but he looks so happy playing with other street kids.

I never really thought of the possibility that the person who needs my help will be someone who's very much like me, someone in the headlights, someone living in luxury, someone I almost gave up waiting for because I thought he isn't for real.

And that someone just happens to be Prince Charming.
