-laughs nervously- Well, I know I should have probably updated my other fics instead of starting a new one…. But I am currently VERY obsessed with CCS and I just got this wonderful idea. And I needed some laughs because my other fics are somewhat more serious. Don't worry, I will update them again….. hopefully soon. Well um… enjoy!

Chapter one (yeah I'm not naming the chapters for this fic)

You see a girl with short brown hair and braces waiting, alone, at night. She is standing near a building, with an overhead hanging, which saves her from a drenching. Rain is pounding against everything creating loud splashes everywhere. She seems excited, grinning happily in her rather out of date purple velvet dress, which looks unattractive with its poofy purple sleeves and shoulder pads.

Her smile shows her braces, which flash in the dim light. She waits. Perhaps for half an hour before she becomes uncertain and her smile wavers. She stops bouncing around and looking more worried by the second. She looks around uncertainly, perhaps hoping that He is just playing a joke on her and He'll come out of nowhere, laughing at his clever joke. And she'll smile too and forgive him the scare she was feeling now.

And still she waits. Another hour passes before she becomes frantic. Her smile truly gone now. Behind her thick glasses, her dull green eyes sparkle with unshed tears. She fears the worst but still holding on to her hope, which is diminishing by the second. Hoping against all hope that He just was caught in traffic. It was, after all, New Years Eve and the streets were sure to be packed. She feels panic encircle her heart. 'He promised!' she tells herself. 'He wouldn't break a promise.'

Yet another hour passes, and if possible the weather is only getting worse. She can hear laughter coming up the street and she turns, hope restored if only for the briefest of moments before it is crushed by the realization that it is not Him but a group of girls and their dates laughing merrily, obviously on their way to a party. They were trendy girls with perfect white teeth and perfect hair and perfect eyes, which sparkle. They were dressed trendily, obviously expensive, brand name clothes. Vera Wang, D&G, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and the like. They pass by her and their laughter quiets somewhat. In voices she wasn't supposed to hear they whispered about her. And each word that she hears shatters her heart a little more.

"What is she wearing?"

"I think its something from the seventies."

"Poor girl."

" You think she was stood up?"

"Well who in their right mind would want to be seen with that?"

"But still… on New Years Eve. Its so cruel."

"And in this pouring rain too."

She does her best to ignore them, but her eyes sting with unshed tears. Somewhere, a clock starts to chime midnight. The group hurries out of sight except for two. But she doesn't care anymore and her tears start falling in earnest. ' He stood me up.' She thinks sadly but is broken out her misery by a kind voice, about her age. "Hi." The voice starts timidly. "I noticed you were all alone and do you want to come to a party with us?" She shakes her head violently, tears pouring down her face. She is engulfed in a warm hug. Surprised, this was too much to take. Kindness from strangers. She clings to the girl and starts sobbing loudly. "There, there." The voice soothed. "Whoever he was, he wasn't worth your time anyway." She starts sobbing harder. "I'm Daidouji Tomoyo and this is my boyfriend, Hiiragizawa Eriol." "K-Kinomoto Sakura."

Five years later….

"SAKURA!!!" yelled Tomoyo, "YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR YOUR NEW JOB!!" A second later a "Hoeee!' was heard and a crash soon afterwards. Eriol snickered behind his newspaper. Then he calmly put a bite of egg in his mouth. Normally he wasn't a morning person but this was an amusing morning. Sakura thumped downstairs soon after. And Tomoyo squealed " Sakura!!! You look soo… KAWAII!!!" Eriol looked up over his newspaper and nodded. It was a good outfit.

She was wearing black leather stiletto boots that went up to her ankles, white pants with black pinstripes and a black macramé belt tied on the side. Sakura had on a lacy black camisole and over that was a D&G black blazer in a somewhat lighter shade (still black though). And she was wearing a Chanel layer necklace with white pearls. On her wrist was a silver Citizen watch and on the other were some thin silver bangles. The overall effect was cute, professional, and trendy at the same time.

"Oh my God Sakura! You better watch out, guys are gonna be coming after you in mobs! And then you'll find your Prince Charming, and we'll have a double wedding!!" said Tomoyo hugging Sakura tightly and going all starry-eyed. "You've changed soo much since we first saw you." "Ah. Ah—Tomoyo-chan? I can't breathe." Tomoyo instantly let go, because Sakura was turning an unnatural shade of blue. Eriol had to agree. Sakura-chan had changed a lot, and for the better. Her rather normal brown hair had lightened thanks to all the vacations in Hawaii and she now had honey streaks in her long hair. Her braces were also long gone. She now had perfect white teeth. And thanks to Laser eye surgery, she didn't need glasses or contacts anymore. And her sparkling emerald eyes were mesmerizing. She had also filled out in all the right places, but still maintained a trim, athletic physique. Sakura-chan had changed a lot. In fact she was goddamned gorgeous in today's society standards. But then, so was Tomoyo. Eriol smirked, and he was pretty fine too, if could say so himself.

" I gotta go!" said Sakura looking at her watch. " Ja, Tomoyo! Ja Eriol!" she said running out the door. She didn't need to be late for her first day as a secretary to one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the world.

Eriol and Tomoyo waved a cheerful goodbye as Sakura rushed out the door. Then they turned and regarded each other silently.

"So," began Eriol conversationally, "Do you still remember the name of the guy?" Tomoyo looked at him. There was no need to ask which guy he was talking about; IT had been on the forefront of their minds all day. "Of course." "And you're certain it's my cousin?" Tomoyo bit her lip. "Yes." She looked at him worry for her best friend reflected in her amethyst eyes. "Why are we doing this to her?" she asked quietly her voice almost breaking. "Because she still needs closure from that night. The night we met her." Tomoyo was silent before asking in an even quieter tone "And what if she doesn't get it and has her heart broken all over again?" This time it was Eriol's turn to be silent. He didn't have an answer to that.

Sakura arrived to her new job in record time. She walked smartly to the elevator and pressed the button for the fifth floor, penthouse. She got out and stopped at a door labeled "Li Syaoran's Office."

Dun Dun DUN!!! Okay so this chapter wasn't really funny but trust me every other chapter in this story will be for the most part. I just needed to set this up. And to my loyal Veil fans. Im still undecided because the next chapter of the story is pivotal because the choice I have to make will greatly influence the rest of the story and I need to think it over and make sure its perfect.Not to mention plan how that choice will play out chapters from now which I hardly ever do so it might take awhile.
