WANTED: Perfect Girlfriend

No magic. No spells. Just a normal day of a writer in trainee when she meets a gorgeous young man, begs him to let her use him as character basis and ends up agreeing to the most unbelievable condition: being his girlfriend. ExT

Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura. I don't own Eriol either but I find him cute! Lol

Chapter One: Heartthrob Spotted!

One typical day…

I, Tomoyo Daidouji, was having a break from fashion designing. Thanks to Naoko, a writer friend of mine, who suggested I try writing for a change, I got myself hired as a scriptwriter in trainee. Okay, I know I have no experience, but if it's about narrating how Sakura wakes up to the time she sleeps, not to mention her complaining to every single clothe I make her wear (or forced-ehem, that doesn't matter anyway), I am the right person for the job.

Besides, my lack of experience doesn't matter anyway. I'm already hired. How it happened? Well, I submitted a Sakura Kinomoto biography. See? I am good! Nevertheless, I am still in crisis. And it's all thanks to Naoko's editor/company President. Cool huh? I would have agreed if he didn't raise his conditions. Being in trainee, I am indebted to him, which means, no objections from Tomoyo.

How it happened?

Here is their exchange of emails.

From: Naoko_

So Pres., what do you think of my friend's work? You think I can hire her as my co-writer in trainee?

To: Naoko_

From: CLow_

She has potentials if I must say so myself. The biography of this Sakura Kinomoto seems so realistic and fictional at the same time. Hire her. We can talk about the salary when I get back. But, I'm afraid I have a few conditions to add before she's allowed to read the script plot.

I know you need co-writers for the job and she being your friend will make the work easier. Still, we are professionals. And I think her way of writing is too character centered that it's already bias. I trust you get my point.

Ms. Daidouji is to submit another character sketch, this time, of a man. (I forbid it's of anyone she knows as of the present.)

She is to make a non-fiction romantic short story and submit it to me by the end of the week. When I approve of this is the only time she gets to help on the actual script.

That's all Ms. Yanagisawa. Thank you for your time.

So, now I have to write a male character sketch. How easy is that? Too easy, if and only if he didn't limit me to write about strangers. I am Tomoyo Daidouji, a professional fashion designer. I design clothes for both male and female. If I am to write about a male, then he has to fit my standards of a male model. Given that I can't use my models, I need to find a new one. Now that I think about it, my latest design would suit an English man, preferably tall, upper class type, and would look good on glasses. Now, the only thing left is, where do I find that? Perhaps this additional job is double purpose. I can find myself a model and a male character basis. Now if I get to interview him about his life, then better because all that's left is the narration.

A purple haired female was seen walking in the park, eyes loitering around in hopes to find the perfect model.

She was walking and walking and walking.

Apparently, all the park has installed for her were children playing kites, grandparents wrapped with thick cotton clothes sitting in the benches, families having picnic, some weird folks singing at the top of their lungs while standing in the edge of the fountain, park janitors eating lunch and…

Finally him…

A handsome guy with fair complexion, midnight blue hair, and the aura of tranquility was sitting under a Cherry Blossom tree. A book left open rested in his chest. His head tilted sideways, leaning in the trunk. His eyes were closed but his face still looks charming even with glasses. He was sleeping alright, and if she didn't know any better that she wasn't sleeping and it wasn't a dream she found him, she'd say she's in a story book, and the sleeping figure was a prince, a prince who was under a spell that made him sleep for so many years. And as far as a fairy tale is concerned, the only way to break the spell is to seal it with a kiss.

Tomoyo Daidouji stepped closer. She stopped when she was an inch apart from his shoes. Weird, all she needed was a model, not a prince. But then, destiny doesn't always give you what you ask for, does it?

Tomoyo stepped a little more, her high heels barely touching his pants. Then the wind blew stronger causing Tomoyo's skirt to fly up if she didn't cover it, at the same time squealing. You see? Destiny just works in unexpected ways. Slowly, the man regained consciousness and fixed his glasses. With half eyes opened, he blinked continuously as if assuring the lady wasn't his hallucination. When it hit him she isn't, he felt surprised and uneasy.

"Uhm, can I help you miss?" he offered, settling his position to be more comfortable talking to her.

Tomoyo, now done composing herself from the sudden blow of the wind, gave him a perfect grin and with glittering eyes, dared say. "Hi. I'm Tomoyo, a writer in trainee. I went here trying to look for a male character basis and then I found you. So I was hoping you could work with me. I can assure you of good salary. So ahm, what do you say?"

The midnight haired guy narrowed his eyes, unbelieving and curious at the same time. You can't blame him. Not every day you see a beautiful maiden offering you a job the very moment you sleep in the park. Because if these things always happen, then a lot of us would be sleeping under a Cherry Blossom tree, wouldn't we?

Seeing that the grin never left her, he sighed. "I don't know. Firstly, I don't know you. Secondly, I'm really not the person for the job. Thirdly, even if I am I already have a job. Sorry to disappoint you miss, but I decline." He said all too calmly she was more than disappointed.

"Oh come on, what will I pay just so you could let me use you as my character basis?" The guy stood up and dusted off his pants.

Now aware of their height differences, Tomoyo's desire to make him her model was evidently increasing. And though this wasn't left unnoticed, the guy decided to test her more.

"Look miss, I'm sure there are some guys out there who'll want the job."

"I don't think you understand the case sir. It's not just about anyone who wants the job. I'm a writer in trainee, and well a fashion designer too. Ever heard of Daidouji Designs? Well, I happen to be part of it. You agreeing to be my character basis and model will help me big time, not to mention will give you free designers' clothes."

"Sorry to disappoint you miss, but I think I have enough clothes. And also, I thought you said you want a character basis, now you're saying you want me to model?"

"Double job means double salary."

"A no is a no."

"Okay fine, is there anything you want? Because I'm positive I can give you anything for as long as you agree to work for me. I have a deadline for crying out loud! Work with me here, please!" She pouted, obviously losing her hope.

Leave it to her to pout and look cuter. Trust her it works like magic, with Sakura, with Naoko, with her mom and hopefully, even for the said stranger.

"Okay. Okay. Stop pouting!" He said a bit annoyed though his gentle composure was never gone.

"So you agreed! Yes!" She was overjoyed, she lifted her hands to grab his and happy danced in front of him, leaving him in shock.

Before he lost his sanity, he decided it would do him good to settle his terms. If he's agreeing to work for her, he has the right to have a say.

"On one condition."

"What?" She stopped, looking confused in which he can't help but smirk. "I sure hope it's not like my editor's terms but say it, I promised you anything you want anyway."

Seeing her calm and willing to agree to anything he says, he stared at her in the eye and with all confidence…

"Be my girlfriend."

…I found you.

A/N: I know I'm not the fastest of writers but reviews make me guilty. RNR! And when you do, please tell what you think, and please let it be more than a word. Thank you!

Sincerely,
