----------------------------------

A young woman, about 23 years of age sat in her friends' apartment, her temporary home. She was holding a newspaper and chewing on a marker at the same time. She looked somewhat frustrated...

"What does it take to get an affordable apartment in Tomoeda?" she grumbled, her eyes scrolling the ads carefully.

After a few minutes, a certain ad had caught her eye.

'Roommate Needed
Half of rent to be paid, AFFORDABLE
Contact 766-4223 for more info.'

Tomoyo thought, 'A roommate wouldn't be that bad. I would have someone with me.' she then decided to call the number.

A male answered the phone, the voice was deep and husky, which gave Tomoyo shivers up and down her spine. The voice spoke, "Hello, may I know who's speaking please?"

"Hai, hello, I am calling to inquire about the apartment ad in the newspaper?" she responded, her voice a little high.

The man on the other line chuckled, "Yes, I was wondering if anyone got my ad, I had been waiting for a call. Yes, I still need a roommate."

"Oh, good, I would really like to see the apartment. Is there anyway I can come and see it anytime this week?" she asked casually.

"Of course, how about this afternoon. You can swing by. The address is 1490 Lakeview Ave. Apartment # 6. By the way what's your name?" he asked.

"Daidouji. Dadouji, Tomoyo. Thanks, I'll see you later." with that she hung up.

The man on the other line hung up his phone and smiled. Daidouji, Tomoyo. The girl, no woman, who he had seen behind the camera years before. The woman who had captured his heart without even knowing it. The woman whom he would spend hours in class staring at. The woman who could nothing be but perfect. The woman who his heart pined for, for the last 8 years. He would see her today.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tomoyo sighed, she had just gotten off the phone with the nice gentleman who owned the apartment and she couldn't believe she forgot to ask for his name. 'I'm so stupid,' Tomoyo thought with hitting the table with her fist, 'how could I forget to ask for his name!'

Suddenlym, a very pregnant Meiling Kinomoto walked into the room staring at her friend who had just hit her table. She looked inquistively and asked, "What happened Tomoyo-chan? Is something wrong?"

"No Meiling-chan, nothing wrong. Anyway, I'm going somewhere this afternoon, so you and Touya-san should not wait for me, I won't be back for dinner. I'm meeting Sakura-chan and Syaoran-chan." She smiled.

"Of course Tomoyo-chan. Touya and I will oblige. So did you find an affordable apartment yet?" the black-haired woman asked.

"Yes, I think I did. I'm going to see it. The man who owned the apartment was nice enough to agree to my request." She smiled.

"That's good Tomoyo-chan. Maybe he's the one." Meiling joked and walked out of the room.

Tomoyo smiled, but once Meiling left, the smile turned into a frown and she thought 'There is no one for me but Eriol.'

Tomoyo stood up and decided to leave. She quickly put her shoes on and smiled. She was going to meet this man and hopefully gain an apartment.

Eriol sat in his living room reading when a faint knock was heard. He sighed, and stood up to answer the door. He looked through the whole and his breath got caught in his throat, it was her. He quickly grabbed the door knob and opened the door.

Standing there in the hallway looking more stunning than ever, was Tomoyo, who gasped when she saw who was there and said, "Eriol…"
