This Year's Girl

            Prologue- As You Were

            Fate.

            Destiny.

            These things rarely work out the way they're supposed to. In a strange way, that's what led to the way things are. My outlook on life has changed since I was little. I had everything planned out. People would stay the same, unchanging. Friendships, relationships would always be the comfortable, familiar things they were then. I would make clothes for Sakura and video-tape her every move. We would grow up of course; go to high school, college. Sakura would get over her infatuation for Yukito and realize that I was the one she loved the most.

            Sakura's happiness was my happiness. Denial is easier to lose yourself in when you're young.

            Obviously, everything has changed quite a bit. And none of it's close to the way I'd planned.

            Change. Good or bad?

            That's highly debatable.

A/N-*cough* That's a little dark, especially for CCS. Oh, well. Before anyone says something about it, I dropped Tomoyo's use of the –chan suffix on Sakura's name, at least in her thoughts and when talking to certain people, to show how much has changed and how much she and everyone else have grown from the children they were.

Disclaimer- If you're really stupid enough to think I own it, please do the world a favor and remove yourself from the gene pool immediately.
