Well here goes nothing…
--
Sakura Kinomoto was an average girl, living in the small town of Tomoeda. She had nothing to complain about, and nothing to be proud of really. The only talent she held was her painting and drawing, but even then she knew many people that could draw much better than her. But one thing about Sakura that was different , was that she passionatly wanted to be a model. Now as you know, many little girls want to be models, but Sakura never out grew the fad.
Her best friend Tomoyo Daidoji had told her many times that she would make a great model, and often took pictures of her modeling her new designs. Sakura loved every moment that the camera was on her, every flash, every pose, and every click made her feel special. It was only yesterday that Tomoyo had come to her with a magazine, pointing to the bottom of a glossy print ad with feverish excitement.
-Current-
"Sakura! Sakura look!" she shrilled, pointing to the glossy print ad in the latest issue of Fashion Today! with her perfectly done manicured nail.
"Hello Fashionista's of tomorrow, we are excited to let you know that Fashion Today! will be holding a competition for designers of ages 16-20 on January 11th. Please bring a friend to model your clothes and have at least four different outfits representing the four seasons. Please see page 152 for more details."
"It's PERFECT! This is the window into the Fashion World that I've needed! And I want YOU to be my model! I already have enough clothes that I could pick some outfits, and then just add onto them. After school get Syaoran to drop you off at my house alright?" Tomoyo divulged excitedly before running back into the school building for their last class.
Sakura smiled and ran a hand through her Auburn hair and walked quietly into the school. She brought her books close to her chest and walked into her History Class. The entire class was loud with the clattered sounds of the latest Gossip, even a few people talking about the competition from Fashion Today! and what they were going to enter.
"Kura! Over here!" she heard Syaoran call from the back of the classroom, patting the empty wooden desk next to him.
There sat the one and only, stunning Syaoran Li. His untamed chocolate brown hair made him irresistible, even if he was wearing the standard tie, white polo and black dress pants the school made them wear, he was still STUNNING.
He flashed her his perfect smile before she sat down carefully, making sure to not bring out her clumsiness again like last week..
Flashback
"Hum… HI SYAORAN! How are you doing?!? I'm great you know, just wonderful!" Sakura shouted, running over to Syaoran before tripping over a rock and flying through the air and then getting a mouth full of rich earth.
End Flashback
Sakura shuddered at the thought. She decided she would strike up some conversation.
"So Tomoyo has got me to model her clothes for that contest… I'm really nervous, you know how she can get. She wanted to know if you could drop me of at her house after school if it's not too much trouble…" Sakura drifted, and tried to stay focused while looking into his delightfully amazing chocolate brown orbs.
"That's great!" Syaoran said, a little bit to loudly and a bit to quick.
SYAORANS P.O.V
Wow, that's GREEEEEEEAT Syaoran, make her sound like your going to strangle her the minute she gets into the car! Now she is staring… probably doesn't want to go anymore. Wonderful move! … Why am I talking to myself in my head?!
I looked at her slightly blushing face and accidentally distracted myself by looking at her soft lips. "You'll be marvelous, and I don't mind taking you to her house."
MARVELOUS??!!? NOW SHE IS GOING TO THINK YOUR GAY!
I mentally cursed myself before Mr. Takahashi walked into the class and started to teach the History lesson.
The teacher continued on in his droll monotone voice the entire class, occasionally telling the students to flip to a certain page and to be quiet. Sakura and Syaoran both snuck looks at each other throughout the lesson, occasionally they would mess up and their gazes would meet, both would stuff their heads into their books feeling embarrassed.
WRITERS P.O.V (Hells yeah.)
They first went to Syaoran's locker and he pulled out his navy blue backpack and put his books carefully under his arm so they could walk to Sakura's locker. Right before they got there, Sakura tripped over her own feet and Syaoran caught her with his free arm easily.
"Tsk Tsk Sakura! Clumsy without anything to even trip on!"
"Thanks!" Sakura laughed and grabbed her books from her locker before they left.
-At Tomoyo's house-
"Thanks Syaoran!" Sakura shouted before running back to him and embracing him in a hug and then running back yet again to the house. Syaoran has stood there for about 5 minutes; shell shocked that Sakura had hugged him so closely, and then drove off.
"Hey Sakura in here!" Tomoyo called from down the hall of her HUGE house. She walked down the marble floored halls and into Tomoyo's Design studio and saw four amazing outfits.
The first, which Sakura noticed was obviously for winter was a tweed half trench coat, which featured a large leather belt that crossed the waist which was sewed on, a pair of tight black skinny jeans and a matching tweed baret.
The Second, a Spring look, was a white knee length pencil skirt with a lace trim that on the manikin started just below the bust, a plum cap sleeved shirt was tucked into the skirt and a redish pink velvet blazer with a small belt looped around the middle that was gold to add a touch of luxury to the outfit.
The third was Sakura's favorite, a pale yellow classic sundress that was cinched in at the waist and then billowed out from there until it ended at just above the knee, which was trimmed with the smallest bit of lace to give it an extra hint of extravagance. The Manikin held a simple white leather hand bag that was on the larger side, and did not zip open, but was held closed by a buckle.
The last outfit was for fall, it was a pair of adorable blue jeans and a simple long sleeved crimson shirt, and a beige crimson trench coat with a crimson leather belt that looped around the waist.
Sakura was very impressed with the designs.
"Okay, considering my mother did not give me the magazine until today, we only have today and half of tomorrow to get ready and then Eriol is going to drive us to the competition. First I need to measure you so I can get these fitted ASAP alright? You can put your clothes over there." Tomoyo pointed to a beautiful marble column styled table that was next to the bathroom.
Sakura walked over to the bathroom and began to take off her school uniform. When she came out of the bathroom 20 minutes later, she came out in a pink bra and pink boy shorts.
"Okay Lift your arms." Tomoyo said, running her fingers through her jet black hair and picking up her yellow measuring tape.
She walked across the cold and smooth granite flooring to where Sakura was standing and measured her bust, waist and hips.
"Hmm… I'll probably have to bring out the summer dress in the waist but other than that we should be fine!" Tomoyo giggled and walked over to the winter outfit and told Sakura to put it on. To her surprise there was a ¾ sleeved pale green and white striped shirt underneath and a blue scarf.
Sakura first squeezed into the tight skinny jeans and began to try to zip them up. Various "UGH!" and "Oh my god!" were heard from the bathroom while she was getting them up. After she finally zipped them up she put the shirt on with ease. She then put on the tweed trench coat and struggled to hook the belt together.
She opened the door and was about to complain until she saw herself in the full length mirror Tomoyo was standing next too with a wonderful smile on her face, considering she saw one of her best outfits she had created on someone.
Tomoyo looked at the skinny jeans and shook her head up and down like she was going to start dancing.
"Alright I think your looking amazing, those skinny jeans are a little bit too tight but I think they look better this way. Now when your walking down the runway what I want you to do at the end is turn to your left and lean a bit. Try it."
Sakura took in a breath and gave her best fashion walk down the imaginary runway and did as she was instructed and then stood up and looked back at Tomoyo.
"Well it could be better, but if you just practice when you have some spare time you will look like a REAL supermodel!" she giggled and then composed herself as if to become much more professional, but being the personable and cheerful Tomoyo she couldn't completely get it together. Sakura smiled and went to the starting point again.
"Alright do it again, but when you lean to the right to turn back around un snap the belt and show off the shirt. One, Two, Three, … Go!"
Sakura began walking again, arms swaying gracefully by her sides, and then placing one arm on her left hip to lean a bit and then brought her other to unsnap the two buckles to show off the shirt. It took a lot more effort than it should have, but then she walked just as gracefully back down the runway.
"Great! Practice a bit more at home and before the show we will practice the snapping part. Go change into this."
She walked over to the white pencil skirt number and took it off the manikin to give to Sakura. Once Sakura had received it she walked over to the yellow fabric that matched the dress and started to cut out some so she could let out the waist a bit.
Sakura returned to Tomoyo's lavender bathroom and decided to actually look at it this time.
The walls were painted a pretty lavender color and the counter was a shiny marble, the sink was silver and the wood was black. The bathtub was black as well and the tiles a plum. There were some lavender plants hidden around the room and on the right side of the sink there were Peonies, Cherry Blossoms and some Roses (Okay I don't know Eriol's flower so it's going to be roses and I'm not sure about Syaoran's but I'm pretty sure it's Peonies Mmkay?! lol)
After admiring the breathtakingly indulgent bathroom she began her journey of putting on the next outfit. First she sucked in her stomach and slid into the skirt. It was amazingly easy until she hit her hips, and it would not budge over. Sakura took it off and thought she would just pull it over her head. It worked much easier and then realized that was how she was supposed to put it on. She rolled her eyes and found the plum shirt and pulled it over and tucked it into the pencil bust high skirt. She slipped on a pair of purple flats that someone had taken time out of their day and sewed a little bit of un-noticed black lace. She walked out of the bathroom and got the blazer from Tomoyo.
Tomoyo looked pleased momentarily and then looked nervous.
"Sakura when your walking down the runway make sure that you keep the jacket pulled on and untie the bow at the end and take it off completely and sling it over your shoulder casually. And put these on!" Tomoyo walked over to her closet and grabbed a pair of large black sunglasses and placed them on the top of Sakura's head.
"Alright, walk."
Sakura walked down the runway with ease and imagined all of the photographers snapping pictures of her, and she would look stunning in every single one. As she reached the end she opened the jacket and quickly slumped it over her shoulder casually and flipped down her sunglasses to give it an extra kick. As she did this Tomoyo erupted into applause and began to jump up and down shouting "I'm gonna win! I'm gonna win!".
She laughed as Tomoyo did this and walked over to her, giving her a big hug.
"Alright try the fall one now. Then you should call Syaoran to walk you home, it's already dark."
Sakura couldn't help but feel a bubbly feeling deep inside her stomach as she thought of Syaoran walking her home.
Tomoyo gave her the fall selection and began to use the stitch ripper on the beautiful dress.
Sakura changed into the jeans easily and then slipped on the crimson shirt which fit very snuggly. She then put on the trench coat and to her surprise, it fit her perfectly. She smiled to herself at this and then stared at the shoes she was to wear in awe. There was a note next to them saying they went with the winter outfit as well and Sakura felt like she was going to pass out.
"Heels?!" Sakura said in disbelief.
She shook her head and slipped on the black ankle high boots. They each had a large bow to add a small high fashion touch.
She walked out of the door and was wobbling all over the place.
"I'm already clumsy! Heels Tomoyo?" she said angrily.
"Oh, you just need to wear them for a bit. I used to be just like you but now I'm as graceful as a ballerina." She spoke happily.
"You want me to wear these though?" She said, still in disbelief. Her walk wish Syaoran would be ruined!
"Yes, now walk down the runway but keep the trench on the entire time, but at the end pull the collar up and lean with your body. That way you won't have to focus much on anything other than walking.
Sakura took a breath and walked down the granite walkway. At the very end she popped the collar and spun around just a bit too fast and fell over, a loud smack ended the mood abruptly.
Tomoyo gasped and ran over to Sakura to help her up.
"Why does your house have to be made out of granite? Can't it be made out of something softer and more comfortable like.. oh I dunno… broken glass or rusty nails?!" Sakura half shouted as she un twisted her legs.
Tomoyo giggled again as she helped her up. She then walked over to her working desk, pulled out her MP3 player and stuck it in the docking station that was on another dark marble column table. She shuffled until music started to play.
"This will be the song your walking too, so try to get the walk to match the beat. We go in pairs, so you will walk and then another girl will and then you again. I payed the designer so I could pick the song."
Sakura breathed in as the song "Are you gonna be my girl" started to play.
'I can do this, I can do this.' She thought in her head.
Sakura put one foot in front of the other like she had last time, only slower and to the beat of the music. Just as the "You look so fine and I really wanna make you mine" part had started, she popped the collar and with new confidence walked back to the start of the runway. She spun again and placed her hand on her waist before winking and walking to the right like she would be going back to change into the next outfit.
"Brilliant! You did perfectly Sakura! I'll finish this dress tonight and drop it off tomorrow, wear those shoes home so you get more used to them alright? Go call Syaoran." Sakura smiled and changed back into her school uniform and walked over to the phone.
Sakura carefully dialed 555- 4287 and waited.
"Hello?"
"Hey.. Syaoran Tomoyo made me stay a bit late practicing. I was wondering if you could walk me home? Tomoyo is too busy with making adjustments…" Sakura trailed off and her stomach did a flip flop, hoping he wouldn't say no.
"Oh! Sure! I'll be there in a few minutes I just have to get my coat."
"Alright bye!"
"Bye!"
*click*
Sakura's heart started to race as she ran to one of the walls with an 'O' that was formed with circular mirrors to fix her hair quickly. She re adjusted her clips and then realized that on the next wall there was an 'X' that was formed in mirrors.
XOXOX … how ironic! She thought just before there was a knock on the door. Tomoyo raced into the room and handed Sakura her bag which held her shoes and books.
She winked at her friend and whispered in her ear that there was a magazine in the bag with an interesting piece on models that she would enjoy.
Sakura's face lit up and she gave a hug to her friend before leaving for the door.
There was an impatient Syaoran waiting.
"Hey!" she said quickly, smiling wide as he was.
He offered her his hand to help her get through the cobblestone walkway that lead up to her Tomoyo's house after noticing the shoes.
"Tomoyo?"
"Yep. I need to get 'comfortable' with them." Sakura replied, both sharing a nice laugh at the very end of the coble stone pathway.
"Don't tell her okay?" she said while reaching into her bag and switching back to her black ballet flats.
"Sure" he said while running his hand through his incredibly messy yet attractive chestnut hair.
The pair walked through the streets, talking about school and how Eriol and Tomoyo made a great couple, the fashion show, until they reached Penguin Park.
The pair were laughing and walking together quite closely, when a few drunken men started wooing from the park.
"Hey hot stuff!" one yelled, taking another sip out of his bottle of vodka.
"Why don't you leave your boyfriend and come on over here babe?" another slurred while getting out another flask of whatever alcohol he chose.
Syaoran placed his muscular arm around Sakura's waist as they continued to walk down the street. Sakura's heart began to race because of the fact that the scary men were still hollering at them, and the fact that Syaoran had his arm around her.
"Hey! Werrr talkin' to yousss!" the drunkest of the group slurred as he got off of the slide and walked over to the couple.
Immediately Syaoran pushed Sakura behind him and punched the drunken fool in the face (Yup. FOOL!). Two new men ran over and attempted to attack Syaoran as well, but he kicked one in the side and punched the other in the stomach and kicked him in the face as he bent over.
"You look real cute in your uniform there girly!" a man said that had ran behind Syaoran.
The man grabbed her wrist and tried to pull her in close, but she kneed him in the groin and then knocked him in the face before running into Syaoran's waiting arms.
They quickly ran to the end of the street before walking again.
"Are you alright!?" Syaoran panted, still holding his arm around her.
"Yes I'm fine… I'm just glad you were there. I don't think I could have handled all four of them." She said, her voice wavering just a bit at the beginning.
"Well I think you handled that one just wonderfully slugger!" he said playfully as he dropped his arm from her shoulders to her waist.
"And I think you handled those THREE perfectly Bruce Lee!"
They both laughed as they approached Sakura's house.
"Oh I'm sorry…" Syaoran said as he dropped his arm from her waist.
"Don't worry about it… I like it there." She said, finishing the sentence with her most alluring smile she could muster.
He smiled wildly and placed his arm around her waist again and pulled her closer, much more confident than before.
As they were approaching the door, Syaoran turned Sakura around.
"So… I was wondering if you um… wanted to meet up sometime you know? Like maybe go for a walk and go to a movie?" Syaoran said nervously, scratching the back of his head as he said it.
Sakura was shell shocked, but plastered a brilliant smile on her face and hugged him close.
"Sure!" she spoke softly while looking into his eyes.
Chocolate met Emerald briefly before Sakura was ripped from their embrace by who other than ….
"Touya!" Screamed a frustrated Sakura that was standing behind Touya.
"Get out of here!" Touya shouted before slamming the door shut.
"Touya what the hell!" Sakura shouted, punching him square in the back.
"Get to bed squirt Dad is pissed that you didn't phone." Touya said quickly, shoving Sakura up the stairs as their father came barreling around the corner.
Sakura hugged Touya and ran up the stairs as fast as she could.
-In Sakura's Room in her P.O.V-
I am so excited, I'm going to be practicing my model walk and everything tomorrow… I can't wait to see the pictures…
I walked into my pink bathroom that seemed to be missing that luxurious tint that Tomoyo's had. I brushed my teeth, my hair, and changed into my pink pajamas. I walked across the room and set my alarm clock for 8:00. It was early for the weekend… but I have to practice.
-8:00 Writers P.O.V
Sakura woke up to the blaring sound of her alarm clock. She rubbed her tired eyes and considered going back to sleep, until she realized tomorrow she was walking the runway.
"Oh my god!" Sakura screamed and ran over to her closet. She wore a simple green spaghetti strap dress and white ballet flats. She put in two cherry blossom clips in her hair and walked downstairs to answer the door.
Tomoyo stood in the doorway in a lavender Kimono shirt that featured a large black band that went around her waist that was adorned with 3 lavender flowers with golden accents. She also wore a pair of black skinny jeans and a pair of high heeled black shoes that had golden accents on it.
She carried in her arms the yellow sundress that was meant for Sakura, and a pair of wedge shoes.
They both walked into Sakura's living room and pushed the table into the corner.
"Touya and my dad are both at work today, we should be fine!" Sakura shouted from the kitchen, separating an orange and placing it on a serving tray for them to share.
"Okay, here go change." Tomoyo handed Sakura the clothes and shoes.
Sakura took the clothes and walked into the hall to change. The dress was even more beautiful, instead of a plunging neckline Tomoyo had changed it so it looked like she was wearing a white tank top underneath, and there was some lace trim on the edge of it. The shoes were brown wedges, and they looked sturdy.
Sakura had no problem changing into the clothes, and the wedges were incredibly comfortable and she walked out of the hallway with confidence towards Tomoyo.
"Great! Now I want you to walk towards me and when your at the end, yes that's good! But put your hands on your waist and smile, give it some personality too, Yeah winking is great! Now turn and walk back. Put some more sway into it! Perfect!" Tomoyo directed Sakura around with great persistence, and made sure it would showcase the mood of her clothes the best.
Sakura smiled and swayed her hips as she walked back towards the plant which was the starting line. Tomoyo clapped as she did it again and again, they practiced until 12:00, all the way down to facial expressions.
"Alright! I booked you a hair appointment. Your standard deep conditioning and trimming. If those girls are thinking they have even the slightest advantage over me they are SOO wrong!" Tomoyo shouted over the music while grabbing Sakura's hand and running to the car that was waiting outside.
Tomoyo opened the back doors for her and Sakura to sit in and gave a kiss to the driver.
"Hey Sakura!" said an incredibly positive Eriol, starting up the black S.U.V quickly and rolling down the window so the breeze ran through his short blue hair.
Sakura smiled to herself as she watched Tomoyo and Eriol exchange glances of affection at the stop signs, and how they held onto each others hands every once and a while as well. Oh how she hoped that her and Syaoran would work out just the same.
"We are here! I'll see you two at 2:30!" Eriol declared with a smile in his voice. He waved at both of the girls as they exited the car and walked into the best salon in town "Abunai" (It's Look Out in Japanese… Don't start with me ;o ! )
Sakura and Tomoyo entered the salon and sat in two luxurious modern white chairs. Sakura looked around in the salon and noticed the many pictures of Models showing off their hair cuts, pictures of flowers that reflected beautifully off of the pale green walls. There were only three customers allowed at each station at a time, and everyone who left this place looked amazing.
"Kinomoto, Sakura?" the brown haired woman that was standing at a podium at the front called.
Sakura stood up and walked over to her. She was led to the cut cutting station.
As soon as she sat down the blonde haired man began to snip at her hair, trimming every possible end he could find. Afterwards his crystal clear blue eyes looked for a product and pulled out a deep conditioning mask.
"Would you prefer a certain cent Miss Sakura?" he said huskily, brushing his hand against her face.
"No, whatever you have in stock will be fine, but if you have any I would prefer a flower. My boyfriend loves cherry blossoms." She said quietly, emphasizing boyfriend.
Well… he isn't my boyfriend YET… but this guy won't keep trying to flirt at least.
The man frowned "As you wish."
After a matter of seconds the man was massaging the mask into her hair and had given her a magazine before leaving. Sakura just rolled her eyes at his disinterest in her looks after she told him she was dating.
She flipped through the magazine and found an editorial spread on a famous new model, Genmei. Apparently she was going to be the newest sensation to hit Japan.
' Genmei is an amazing girl to work with, everything about her is perfection. She dazzles you with not only her looks but her brilliance as well.'
The small description was printed in large bold print above one of her pictures. Genmei had short crimson hair and beautiful large golden eyes. A faint blush was played up on her cheeks. Her skin was a delightful tan and she looked overall stunning.
Sakura was torn away from her magazine when the man came back and began to wash out her hair mask. In about a half hour her hair was styled and dry, and Tomoyo was pulling her into Eriol's car.
"Step on it Eriol we have to get there early! GO GO GO!" Tomoyo yelped as she fidgeted with her camcorder.
"Certainly my lady." Eriol enunciated like a true gentle man before racing through the last streets of Tomoeda.
"Sakura, your about to model the amazing Tomoyo's clothes in hers and your first fashion show, how does it feel?"
Tomoyo held the camera up and peered through it too see a very embarrassed Sakura.
"Uh... it feels great?"
Sakura looked at the up-coming Hotel were a large banner said "Welcome Fashionistas!"
"Is Syaoran waiting for us?" Sakura asked sheepishly while playing with her soft auburn hair.
"He will be in the audience. Don't worry!" Tomoyo winked at her as the car came to a halt. As quick as a rabbit Tomoyo had all of her clothes under one arm and was pulling Sakura into the Hotel.
The Hotel was amazing, and they were bombarded with loud music and hoards of people trying to be signed up first. Tomoyo headed straight for the dressing rooms.
"Tomoyo don't you need to sign up first?" Sakura said nervously while being sat in a large leather styling chair.
"No, I had my men in black take care of that!" Tomoyo had a huge smile spread across her face while she opened her makeup kit. Various colors were spread out all over it and large makeup brushes were piled beside it. She began to brush a very sweet looking style on Sakura, a soft pink sparkly eye shadow, deep red lip stain, and some mascara only.
Sakura spent the entire time dreaming about her looking stunning, and Syaoran seeing her.
"Done, Sakura put on your first outfit, your walking soon, we are going out to see the introduction and then after 2 presentations your strutting your stuff!"
Sakura panicked and ran over to the Winter outfit. She tackled the skinny jeans first, and had Tomoyo help her pull them up.
"God! Sakura I could have let these out for you!" Tomoyo struggled to get out, the you ending high pitched as she finally pulled up the left hip.
"You said you liked them tight!" Sakura shouted over the loud introductory music.
"Shake Shake! Shake Shake! a Shake it!"
Sakura pulled the rest of the outfit on while running with Tomoyo into the crowd.
Sakura looked in awe at the woman on the stage.
"Hello young designers of Japan! My name is Genmei, and I will be one of the four judges. I have a surprise for all of you. I bet you all thought this was only a designing competition! Well you were wrong, we also have someone representing Einjeru Modeling Agency, Yes, the Modeling Agency that gave me my start! That will be scouting models. I would like to call Ami Fujioshi and her model to the Runway!"
Genmei smiled and walked off of the stage, leaving the crowd that had erupted into applause behind.
"Wow, THE Genmei is here to judge my clothes.. amazing." Tomoyo said while bringing Sakura into the backstage room.
The shows progressed quickly and Sakura had a mere minute before she walked out.
"You can do this Sakura! You have a black belt in modeling Kung Fu! You get out there and show them what you can do!"
Go!!
Sakura laughed as she heard her music start, she walked out with confidence to the LOUD crowd. She strutted down the runway, a hand on her side and flashing a dazzling smile to the judges.
So
1, 2, 3, take my hand and come with me I say you look so fine
because you look so fine
and i really wanna make you mine.
that I really wanna make you mine.
All of them smiled and wrote things down on their papers as she opened up the coat with ease. She walked back casually and coolly like she owned the place and went back to Tomoyo.
Oh,
4,5,6 c'mon and get your kicks Big black boots,
now you dont need that money
when
you look like that, do ya honey.
long
brown hair,
she's so sweet
with her get back stare.
While they were changing as quick as possible as the other girl named Yumi's model was walking, Tomoyo took advantage of the time.
"You were AMAZING. You looked like you are too cool to even BE here! Your doing great!" she said before pushing Sakura out onto the runway once again
Well
I could see,
you home with me,
but you were with another man,
yea!
I know we,
ain't got much to say,
before I let you
get away, yea!
I said, are you gonna be my girl?
Sakura once again walked out onto the runway in the spring number. She smiled once again and swayed her hips seductively and made a somewhat innocent face at the very end where she un did the belt of the blazer. As she paraded back she threw her arms back and stood as tall as ever like she had just found her inner super model.
Well,
so 1,2,3, take my hand and come with me
because you look so fine
and i really wanna make you mine.
Sakura slid into the fall outfit quickly and made sure she tied the trench coat tightly. Tomoyo squeezed her hand and fixed the invisible wrinkles that were found on the collar.
Sakura once again dominated the runway with her confidence. This time she flaunted the mystery of the outfit and had a smirk on her face. She smiled at the judges and gave a flirty wink before swaggering back to the dressing room.
I
say you look so fine Oh,
4,5,6 c'mon and get your kicks
that I really wanna make you mine.
now you dont need that money
with
a face like that, do ya.
Tomoyo slid the final number onto Sakura and smiled at her.
"This is the final piece, finish with a bang!"
Sakura nodded and walked out onto the runway.
Oh
yea. Oh yea. C'mon!
I could see,
you home with me,
but you
were with another man, yea!
Sakura flaunted her dress while walking out into the sea of flashes and "Oooh!" 's that she heard. As she approached the end she spotted Syaoran, standing there with his mouth open in awe. She sent a wink his way, and then blew a kiss to him as well. The entire crowd hooted and hollered as she strided back, one arm on the band of the hand bag that hung off her shoulder and one arm swaying with pride.
I
know we,
ain't got much to say,
before I let you get away,
yea!
Uh, be my girl.
Be my girl.
Are you gonna be my girl?!
Yea
Sakura leapt over to Tomoyo and gave her the biggest hug she possibly could.
"You. Were. AMAZING! Go to the crowd, I have to wait back here. Thankyou!" Tomoyo shouted over the music.
Sakura ran out of the room and leapt into Syaoran's awaiting arms. Holding him as close as she could she whispered into his ear "That last one was for you…"
He smiled at her happily as waiting music came onto the speakers.
I
don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words
fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And
games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play
themselves out
Syaoran Wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist, and she wrapped hers around his neck as the moved along to the music. Many other couples took the lead and began to dance.
Take
this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise
your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now
Syaoran looked down at her, and Sakura looked up into his eyes. He ducked his head down and before Sakura could even register that she was dancing with Syaoran, he had begun to kiss her as well. Sakura closed her eyes and leaned into his embrace.
Falling
slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take
me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered
enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
When they finally broke their kiss, Sakura rested her head on his chest while they continued to dance.
Take
this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise
your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling
slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
"This will be our song" Syaoran whispered into Sakura's ear, before kissing her head.
The music ended and Genmei appeared infront of the crowd again on the stage.
"Hello everyone! You models did AMAZINGLY well. And I loved your designs, but I loved a certain 4 the most."
Syaoran grasped onto Sakura's hand and squeezed it.
"The winner, of the 2009 Design Competition is…." Genmei opened a golden envelope and smiled to herself.
"Miss TOMOYO DAIDOUJI!" She called out. Tomoyo burst onto the stage, and you could heard Eriol Shouting and hollering over the crowd of people.
Tomoyo giggled and hugged Genmei before taking the trophy and piece of paper from her. She looked excitedly into the crowd and waved at Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol (Who had been standing beside Sakura and Syaoran neglected as this whole thing occurred.).
"Miss Daidoji did amazingly well, and pulled of a truly wearable collection while still meeting up to the high fashion standards. We especially enjoyed the last number. Your clothes clearly gave the boost of confidence and general happiness to the wearer and I am proud to present to you this invitation and also this envelope, as well as the trophy. In the envelope you will find $5000 to make your first fashion line, and the invitation is to show it at Tokyo Fashion week in 6 months time. Congratulations!" Genmei stated, visibly and truly happy for Tomoyo.
Tomoyo screamed and began to jump up and down, but then composed herself as she saw Genmei was not done.
"Is there anything you would like to say?"
Genmei held the microphone to Tomoyo's mouth.
"I would like to thank my parents for lending me the money to create all of my clothes; I would like to thank my amazing boyfriend Eriol for always supporting me and helping me, and my MODEL Sakura Kinomoto! She was stunning and I could not have won without her! And for all of my future fans, Get ready for me because I'm not leaving any time soon!"
The crowd for the last time erupted into applause before everyone cleared out.
Sakura was walking out of the building holding Syaoran's hand tightly before she was approached by a tall slender man, about as tall as Syaoran.
He had shaggy black hair, and piercing crimson eyes. He wore a suit that had grey sleeves that were tailored to end at his elbows. He had a skinny red tie and a regular pair of grey trousers.
"Miss Kinomoto? I am Setsuna Takahashi. I am representing Einjeru Modeling Agency. You are just the type of girl we need. You see, we have been searching for another girl much like Genmei to reinforce our presence as a Modeling Agency. Genmei left us to try to surpass what she already had, but what she already had was fame. We need someone that has good natural looks, motivation and that "it" quality. We think you have all of that. So what do you say, are you ready to become the next big Megastar?" he said casually, like he was making small talk.
Sakura had to do a double take to figure out what had just happened.
"Me? Oh my god… yes!" Sakura shouted, jumping up and down.
"Great. Your first meeting will be tomorrow at the agency, we will need to go over a few things like your first casting, first shoot, your hair, and most DEFINATLY your weight."
