Hi and welcome to my fourth fic, revised 3 years later XD I got this idea when I was working behind the stage of our school play and during that time i was really into singing and who knows, maybe it would take me somewhere or something. Also during that time i was seriously crushing over this one guy, which never really worked out, but just because mine didn't doesn't mean that'll happen to sakura and syaoran! .- note: for some reason the facies i made won't show and the scene break thingies also. i guess only letters or something work so if you see this ugly thing cucucucucucucu it's the scene break.

Oh! And don't forget to review please. ;;

Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura. Simple enough.

Behind The Stage

Chapter 1: Star in Waiting
Written by Pnaisweets
...

It was another gorgeous day in Tomoeda while young sixteen year old Kinomoto Sakura was staring at the wonderful view outside her window. She then went off humming a little tune she remembered from when she was little that her mother had sang to her and her older brother. She got ready for work and headed off to the school gym.

"You made it right on time, for once, Ms. Kinomoto. Can you please hand out these props to their characters? Here. They're all in this bag. Make sure you keep track of them and if you have any problems, tell me after rehearsal because I am very busy today. You got all of that? " said Terada-Sensei as soon as she walked right into those gym doors.

mumbles... "Ok.." Was all Sakura could say because then the next thing she knew, sensei was gone.

Sakura sighed.

'Again, I have to go through this… It's such a lovely play that our class is doing this year. Very suitable for this year's theme "Romance." I tried and tried so hard to get a part in the play, any part, i didn't care, but they said I wasn't good enough for anything. I have the looks, just not the talent they say. Someday I'll show em'. Just watch me. Every morning I have to go through "do this" and "do that" from the director and the actors. Gosh, some of them can be such asses! -mimicks- "What the hell! I asked for purified water with three ice cubes in it. can't you get it right!" Sheesh.. Well I, Kinomoto Sakura, will do my very best for myself and to show everyone who thought i could get there who will be at the top."

"Gosh, I'm freakin' pissed..." she mumbled as she went off to do her work.

"Hey. Romeo. Your Rose." She said in a monotone voice. She then took the rose and chucked it to Romeo, almost like a dart so hard that it almost stabbed him right in the heart.

"Thanks. Not in a happy mood again, ne? Hope you're feeling better Sakura-chan." Romeo said.

"Sure, sure Eriol-kun thanks for the concern. sigh, i'm sorry. i shouldn't be taking out my anger on you and the rose. it was neither of your guys' fault." Was all Sakura could say.

"Don't worry about it. Well. I better head off now. Scene six is about to start."

"Later." Sakura said.

And off she went back to handing out the props.

"Hey You! Your sword you stupid Capulet!"

"Ouch!"

"And you! Hey! Yeah you dang Montague! Get back over here!"

Clunk

cucucucucucucu

"Sakura-chan! I haven't seen you all morning! I'm so glad to see you!" Tomoyo said very happily as she found a spot by her best friend.She set her lunch aside and when she looked at Sakura, her happy face turned to a sad one.

"Oh, Sakura… It's been months and you're still unhappy. It makes me sad to see you like this. I know you love acting and you didn't get a part, but it's ok. I'm sure you'll get a part in a play someday. What those audition people said about you, they're wrong. You're a great actress. Don't let them get to you. You're my dearest friend. I don't want to see you like this. Please be happy again like you use to be? Also, even though you didn't get a part in the play, helping out with it isn't healthy for you. it's making you worse. please stop, for you and your friend's sake." Tomoyo said, looking as if she was on the verge of tears.

"Tomoyo… please don't cry about it. It's just that… I think it's kind of easier for you to think that I'll get a part in a play because it was easy for you to get a part in this play, you Montague." Sakura said taking a twig and pretending it's a sword pointing it at her.

"And please don't worry about me working behind stage. I'm fine, i don't think that's what's making me worse. Don't worry."

"Sakura-chan… But I'm sure that, till that day comes for you and acting to meet, you'll be definitely ready. It'll come to you someday. It's your dream. Anything can happen if you believe it, just have patience, it'll come to you. What a lovely day…" Tomoyo said softly to Sakura as she stared straight up in the beautiful, blue sky.

"Thanks Tomoyo-chan. I feel a bit better now." Sakura said with that smile on her face that could make anyone else around her smile along with her.

Tomoyo smiled in relief.

'I'm so glad to see Sakura smiling that smile again. I wish there was something I can do for her to help her reach her dream, but for now, the only thing I can do is to be there for her. Don't worry Sakura. Your day will come.'

"Hey, are you free after play rehearsal today?" Tomoyo asked.

"Sorry Tomoyo, but i have to do all my homework for tonight and tomorrow night because I have work tomorrow."

"Oh, i see… What is your job anyways? You've had this job since the start of high school, but no one, not even I know what it is. " Tomoyo said while she taking a bite of her sandwich and then trying to make a cute, sad, pouting look on her face.

"I'm sorry Tomoyo, but I can't tell you. it's just my kinda personal thing. I hope you understand, but don't worry, it's not something dangerous or bad or anything. .-"

"Alright, alright. Hey, you gonna eat that?"

cucucucucucucu

Sakura was staring at the wonderful, clear night that could be seen outside her window. The blanket of darkness outside was filled with millions of sparkling stars all winking at her and the bright, full moon with it's light shining down upon her. She stared, looking as if she could count all the stars up in that sky forever.

Sakura took a big breath of air and sighed

'I hope something good will happen to me soon. i'm so tired of being unhappy, i just don't know how to get out of it. Let there be someone out there to help me, please.'

Yay. ;; End of chapter 1. I wanted to add more, but i felt like it "ended" good here. I gaurantee though that they will be longer than this one, believe me. just check out my msn space. S I couldn't find a good way to connected the second chapter to it. Boy I did a lot of revising. o.0 It sounds better, not exactly fantastic/OMG kind, but it's much better. D I did a few changes, but mostly kept the same "concept" there. lol, my writing has improved a lot in just a few years! if you ever want to see the non-revised version of this and soon-to-be others and compare, check out my website. it's not exactly up, but i'll get it up there... er- someday. it might take a while though. XD

I thought the sweets question was a good idea to have so I thought i'd keep it in there for fun for u guys. ;; so, here goes. D

the rules for the sweets question is, the first person who reviews with the right question will be the winner and will win a prize. i'm still working on the prize, but i think the prize will be... hm.. oh i know! the winner will get a chance to be IN a mini short fanfic at the end of a chapter with the ccs characters, and if i'm in a happy mood i might just put more than one winner/reviewer. D keep in mind that not all these questions will be about ccs or anime, but they could be on anything from sakura's birthday to.. i dunno, the elements of dirt. XD mwaha, well, good luck. ;;

Time for a Sweets Question: Each person in the Kinomoto family is named after a flower. What are they?

Have fun. Please don't forget to review. ;; I'm willing to take flames, advice, critiques and whatever else there is possible. i need reviews to see if this is really worth doing, plus i'm just really desperate for reviews, lol. i hope revising this doesn't delete the the reviews i already have. TT i have my fingers crossed. Till next time. Pnaisweets (Aisukii.) Don't mind me if i use more than one author name. XD

note: tears why won't show my little facies and designful scene breaks that i made! i'm sad, sorry the page breaks suck, but it's the only thing that'll let it "break."
