Juliet: Thanks for reading the first chapter! I really appreciated your reviews.

Sky: Though it wouldn't have hurt ya to atleast review, people who didn't…

Juliet: Ignoring her, I don't own CCS so please enjoy! :)

Sky: I hope they feel guilty…

Juliet: You're a sadist, aren't you?


"Sakura-chan?!" Tomoyo yelled from backstage. Syoaran Li had already done his solo already! There were so many people moving around back here, you couldn't see anything or anyone.

"Tomoyo-chan, I'm right here." Sakura said from behind her. Tomoyo smiled at her.

"Good, because I have to tell you something." Tomoyo said a little nervously. Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Ok, shoot." She said. Tomoyo opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by the piercing sound of the microphone.

"Hey, everyone!" Miyu's voice boomed through the air, silencing the chatting fan girls. "Alright, there's been a change of plans. Our employee, Sakura Kinomoto, will be singing a solo," She said. There was a large amount of annoyed groaning.

"Hey, hey, hey! Shut up!" She yelled in the microphone. The girls immediately shut up. "This was Mrs. Yelan Li's idea anyway, mou. Anyway, after that Syoaran Li will chose a girl of his chose to come up here and sing with him. How's that?" She smirked. There was a bunch of gasping and excited whispers.

You could tell everyone was surprised, shocked, and well, excited. I mean, come on, getting a chance to sing on stage with a celebrity, not to mention the guy of your dreams, is a one-in-a-lifetime chance, don't you think?

Sakura looked at Tomoyo, her left eye slightly twitching. Tomoyo smiled nervously.

"And that's it." Tomoyo said. Sakura's eyes suddenly widened.

"What the hell Tomoyo?!" Sakura whispered loudly. "I can't go out there by myself! I mean, I'd feel atleast a little bit more comfortable with someone up there with me! Even a celebrity!"

"Well, Yelan-san asked this." Tomoyo said. "She's the most powerful woman in all of Asia, not to mention the most respected lady in Hong Kong. She writes our checks you know. We can't do anything about it. Sorry, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said as she walked off the stage to the kitchen where Chiharu was busily making sweets.

Girls plus shows equals lots of sweets and that equals happy customers and that equals lots of money! YYYYAAAAYYYY for money!

Sakura's shoulders slumped. The only people out there are girls and they're all here just for Syoaran Li. Nobody's here for me. This is going to be so embarrassing!

"Well, this bites." Miyu said appearing out of nowhere. "Poor little Sakura going out there all by herself, like a little lost puppy." She said, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Miyu… -chan?"

"I don't get it. You've done this over a million times. Why are you nervous now?" Miyu asked. Sakura pondered the question in her mind. "Don't you love to sing?"

"Well, yeah but-" Miyu shook her head. Sakura sighed long.

"Well, will you go with me?" Sakura asked. Miyu seemed ataken back.

"M-me?!" She yelled. Sakura nodded.

"No! Nah-uh! First of all, I've never sung before in my life and I don't plan on it! Do you even know why Yelan-san requested you do a solo?" Miyu asked incredulously.

Now that she mentions it, why did Yelan-san request it? It's not like she's heard me sing before or anything…is it?

Miyu sighed. "It's because of Tomoyo, Chiharu, me, Rika, and everyone!" She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Sakura's eye's widened as she brought her hands to her mouth. "We all know you love to sing, so why not make it a reality? Come on Sakura, live a little. Calm down, you can do this!" She encouraged.

Sakura closed her eyes. "Alright. If it will make you guys happy, fine." Sakura said. Miyu smiled boyishly.

"Awesome! Gotta go and introduce ya! Good Luck!" Miyu said, stepping unto the stage infront of the crowd.

She cleared her throat. "Sorry, minna-san, for the delay! Anyway, so, those of you who are just getting here: Welcome to Fuuta Diner, where you can enjoy our scrumptious desserts, made by Chiharu Mihara, and sing onstage!" She said.

"Maybe if you're lucky, become the next stars of Japan, ne?" She said winking to the audience. "Welcoming to the stage, Sakura Kinomoto!"

Upon hearing her name, Sakura silently held her breath. I closed my eyes and believed I could do it…

There was clapping as Miyu left the stage. Miyu gave the thumbs-up as she passed Sakura. Sakura walked unto the stage and closed her eyes, her right hand clutching the good luck necklace her mother gave her before her death.

Please mom. Give me courage. Everyone was totally silent as the music started. Sakura softly gripped the microphone.

"Kisetsu ga sukoshi ugoita ki ga suru
hizashi mo mijikaku itsuka zurete
futari no basu Wa kawaranai machi
hashitteiru koto hotto shiteta"

She slightly opened her eyes and looked to where Chiharu and everyone where. Miyu was leaning against the counter, smiling, and Tomoyo was taping everything.

"Mado no soto itsumo mitai Ni miteru anata
soshite watashi mo mane Wo shiteiru
itsumo mitai Ni"

Sakura gripped her necklace tighter and started to sing with a more confident voice.

"Nee futari wa onaji na no ka na
ikitai basho wa namattetatte iin da yo ne
nee futari wa onaji na no ka na
itoshii kimochi anata no shisen wa ima mienakute

futari no basu wa kawaranai machi
hashitteiru koto hotto shiteta

ume kaketa hitotsu mikoono hashini hikabu
ugoku tsumoino naizu utaimo
samishi teshiru ne"

Miyu had started clapping and soon everyone joined her. Sakura smiled a little.

"Nee futari wa shinjiteru ka na
wasu moru kue wo kimoo kawashita yakusoku
nee futari wa shinjiteru ka na
kisetsu no saki wo anata no kotoba ima doze no hotto

nee futari wa onaji na no ka na
ikitai basho wa namattetatte iin da yo ne
nee futari wa onaji na no ka na
itoshii kimochi anata no shisen wa ima mienakute"

Sakura ended. The steady clapping stopped. It was so quiet that you could probably hear a pin drop. I knew it! I was terrible! I knew I shouldn't have done this! This is so-

Suddenly, the café was filled with applause and whistles. Sakura eyes widened.

"Encore!!" Miyu yelled before she was jabbed in the ribs by Chiharu. "What?" She asked harshly. Sakura lightly laughed.

"Encore! Encore!" The audience repeated. Tomoyo ran up to the microphone stand and calmed the crowd down.

Sakura exited the stage. She was greeted by Rika, Chiharu, and Miyu.

"You were wonderful, Sakura-chan." Rika smiled softly.

"That was soooo beautiful!" Chiharu said rubbing her eyes to stop tears of joy.

"I knew you could do it!" Miyu declared as she slapped Sakura's back. Sakura smiled.

"Arigato minna." She said.

"Kinomoto…Sakura?" A voice said behind her. Sakura's eyes went wide as did the other girls. I-I can't believe it…This is….!!
