A/N: I just updated the first chapter to fix little errors I may have found :) Enjoy!


Chapter 2: Superwoman to the Rescue!

"Tomoyo what am I going to DO?" I cried, clutching my pillow tighter to my face. It had been a total of 2 and a half days since Syaoran had spilt the beans about him and Yin getting engaged. Yea, yea…I'm still mourning. I know that I should suck it up and get over it, but for some reason it's too hard. I've known Syao since we'd attended elementary school together. I had also found out he had a little crush on me but before I realized my feelings for him, he returned to Hong Kong and didn't come back until 2 years later. I didn't dare reveal my feelings for him when he returned, and I've kept them a secret since then.

"Sakura, " Tomoyo said softly, bringing me back to the present. "That doesn't mean you can just hide from him for the rest of your life! And especially not in your room, surrounded by empty ice cream containers." I couldn't help but giggle at Tomoyo's comment. There were quiiiiitteee a few containers lying around me.

"Awhh, look! I've already gotten a laugh out of you!" Tomoyo giggled with me, smiling as I finally looked up at her. I decided to position myself so that I was facing her with my pillow in my lap.

Tomoyo began walking around, opening my blinds and picking up left over Chinese food boxes. "Hey!" I shouted grabbing one of the many boxes. "There's still some fried rice in there," I pouted and picked at some of the cold rice, forcing myself to swallow it.

I saw Tomoyo shoot me a small disgusted look before gently snatching the box out of my hands again, and continuing to clean. I stuck my tongue out at her before standing up and helping her.

And that's how it was for a good half and hour. Who knew that one bit of news could turn my whole apartment into a mess? It's kind of sad that I let things get so bad after 2 days. Luckily I had good friends like Tomoyo, who burst through the door like superwoman when I refused to open my door. What a wonderful friend Tomoyo was!

I smiled to myself, thinking of all the times she'd come to my rescue, including the past few days. She decided to make up the excuse that a "serious family problem" had occurred to get me out of work. Only my boss would believe that excuse coming from her, which is why I didn't bother to call in. Our boss, Mr. Yoshida, was always acting like something was stuck-up in the wrong place, but Tomoyo's innocent face and charming voice always seems to calm him down. Tomoyo and I worked at the headquarters for one of the best selling magazines in Japan named "Simply Beautiful." She and I both worked as writers for different articles. I covered more of the serious issues, where as Tomoyo covered fashion…duh!

I was broken out of my thought bubble when I suddenly heard the phone ring. I jumped slightly before picking up the phone with a timid, "Hello?"

"Heeeeey, Sakura?" I started to sweat immediately once I realized whose voice it was, how could I forget it? "I was just wondering if you were doing okay and if you thought you could make it to din-"

But Syaoran's voice was cut off before I could hear the rest, as Tomoyo yanked the phone from my hands.

"Syaoran? Yes it is! I'm good and how are you? Of course, congratulations!" Tomoyo sent a look towards me and quickly pushed the phone down from her ear to mouth the words "get in the shower, I'll deal with him" and pushing me in the direction of the bathroom.

I didn't know whether to be happy Tomoyo took over the phone or sad. I loved listening to his voice…

"…mhmm, I would assume as much. Yes I just decided to stop by, you know me!" Tomoyo laughed heavily while sending me another glare and nodding her head towards the bathroom again.

I sighed loudly, but did as my best friend told me to and headed towards the bathroom. After closing the door behind me, I decided took a look at myself in the mirror.

Oh dear. I quickly splashed water onto my red, puffy face, and then took a closer, full-length look of myself. I gave my mirror self a disgusted face and then hopped into the shower. Ahh, nice hot water ought to do the trick! After cleansing my body in almost every place possible, I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel from the rack. I returned to my position in front of the mirror to do another check-up. Much better! My auburn hair fell down to around my mid-back, curling slightly at the ends, giving it a little volume. My emerald eyes didn't shine like they usually did, but held the same deep colour as always. I also gave my body a glace too, slightly proud of how I had changed since childhood. My body was curvy, yet small and lithe.

Smiling to myself, I retreated from the bathroom and entered my bedroom to pick out my clothes. Unfortunately, I found myself staring at the Tomoyo's back as she flung clothes from my closet everywhere.

"Tomoyo!" I yelled. "What are you doing?" She didn't seem surprised in the slightest way at me yelling at her, as she continued to fling my clothing everywhere.

When she finally turned around to face me her face was somewhat red.

"Do you have ANY fancy dresses that have some kind of style Kinomoto?" she huffed. Oh no, there they go again with the whole last name thing. I gulped.

"Well know Tomoyo…there's never been any need for fancy dresses," I shrugged softly. "If I ever needed anything nice for one of the magazines balls, I just borrowed one of yours." I smiled, hoping this would make the situation better. It obviously didn't, but why was she being so nosy in my closet anyway?

"Sakura I have exactly 6 hours to turn you into a goddess and you give me NOTHING!" Tomoyo huffed again, and then pushed me onto the bed when she noticed my confused face.

"You're in love with Syaoran right?" Well she was making this easy! I muttered a soft "yes" under my breath.

"You don't want him to marry that horse Yin right?" Aha! I told you she looked like a horse! I answer Tomoyo with an encouraging "right!"

"Then here's my plan for you Sakura. We are going to win Syaoran back!" Tomoyo thrust her right hand into the air and curled her fingers into a fist. She then stared at the blank ceiling with a determined look on her face.

Okay…so maybe my friends were a little weird. But at least she was willing to form a half evil plan in her brain for me…sort of.

"Tomoyo," I said, breaking her out of her trance. "How do you expect me to win Syaoran back exactly?"

She looked back over at me and tilted her head. "I haven't exactly thought about anything specific yet. But all I know is that we are going to get you looking amazing for dinner tonight." She smiled triumphantly, and then began putting my clothes back into my closet.

"DINNER?" I screamed, jumping off the bed. Who said anything about going to dinner with him?

Tomoyo turned to me again, her face calm. "That's why Syaoran was calling. He's invited me, Eriol, you and some other friends, to join him and Yin at dinner to celebrate."

I stood staring at her open mouthed. There was no was I going to go out to dinner…I wasn't ready yet. I felt tears being to prick at my eyes when I thought of Syaoran and Yin again.

"Ohh Sakura!" I felt Tomoyo wrap her arms around me. I didn't want Syaoran to marry Yin! She wasn't any good for him…she wouldn't treat him how he should be treated. I took a deep breath and wrapped my arms around Tomoyo, wiping my tears with the back of my hand. Maybe I could do this…especially with Tomoyo by my side. I would make Syaoran realize that I was the girl for him and that Yin was no good.

I smiled softly and pulled away from Tomoyo's grasp to look her dead in the eye and say, "Let's do this."

Tomoyo hugged me again, this time tighter, and squealed in delight. She then ran to my closet and threw a pair of back skinny jeans and a white printed top in my direction. I laughed lightly when I remembered that I was only in a towel.

"All right Sakura, we need to get you looking drop dead gorgeous and the first place to start…" she looked up at me, as if anticipating what would come next.

"The mall!" we answered together, laughing in union. I ran back to the bathroom to get ready to go, applying little makeup.

See, I told you Tomoyo was a good friend! I grabbed my purse from my coat hanger and followed Tomoyo out the door, making sure to lock it behind me.

This was gonna be one heck of a night!
