Author's Notes:

After many weeks of trying to figure out what to write, and about three thousand tries, I have started to actually put this into words. .:gasp:. and, you're reading it! Thanks in advance, but I dun know how you'll like this. Anyways, read on if I haven't scared you off already.
This is a clip show of what happened after the ending of the chapter, and then for about five months after it. I'm sorry for doing that, but it seemed to fit better that way, and then I wouldn't have to write about Halloween, and then Christmas, and then Valentine's Day. Pardon my skipping around, but it's intentional. I'm not good at kissing scenes, nor can I say that the song I chose to add to this part is 100% accurate. I only had my ears and CD player to get the lyrics.

Disclaimers:
I hate these things.
You know the drill, right?
I don't own CCS.
I don't own the songs.
I have no money.
Please don't sue me!

Chapter 3
_____________________
"Hi there! Tomoyo speaking! Well, the reason I'm talking to you in the safety in my room is because I'm afraid of what Sakura and Syaoran will say when I show you what I want to. No! It's not sick, but it's so kawaii! It's been a few months since you last saw Sakura, and I'm here to fill you in by the ever so popular videos that I have made, so I'll just let you watch this as I get ready for tomorrow, which is the first day back from spring break. There you go!" Tomoyo pops the video into her VCR. "Enjoy! Oh, and if you want popcorn, please yell for me."
_____________________
"Well, what time is it?" Sakura asked.

"5:30," Syaoran replied.

"Where's the popcorn?"

"Right here," Tomoyo replied. "I'm going to shut off my camera now, ok?"

"You mean that you've been recording?" Sakura asked.

"No, I've just been looking through the lens since you've walked in."

~*static*~

Sakura and Syaoran are walking down a path in a park, holding hands.

"So, what are you going to do for Halloween?" Syaoran asked.

"Stay at home and hand out candy. You?" Sakura replied.

"Sneak over to TOMOYO's house and DESTROY her camera."

~*static*~

Everyone's in a huddle, excluding Tomoyo. The leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground. Sakura and Syaoran are holding hands, again. Tomoyo sighs behind the scenes.

Someone says ready, and everyone repeats. They break away, everyone going separate ways. Tomoyo tries to follow Sakura, but looses her in a few seconds.

She turns around the camera so that her face is on screen. " I don't like this," She says as a handful of leaves fly towards her head. There is a short shriek, then nothing.

"Dateline, December 13, school gym. It's Christmas, and those two have been dancing for the past two hours. I have just now found a great hiding place so that they wouldn't find me again." A hushed whisper is speaking. A song is playing softly playing in the background, and it's at the end. "Finally, those two will break. Man, I don't know what I'm going to do with them."

A cry and an applause erupts from somewhere in the crowd, and we see Sakura and Syaoran start to walk over to the punch table. A new song starts, but it's too upbeat to slow dance to. "He Loves You Not, not a bad choice."

~*static*~

'It seems the silences,
The words you never say,
I see it in your eyes,
It always starts the same way.
It seems like everyone we know,
Is breaking up,
Does anybody every stay in love,
Anymore?'

"I've started the tape again because they're at it again. It's been about three minutes since I cut off, and it's now a Backstreet Boys song, I think it's I promise You, but I'm not to sure. I'm going to shut up now, and pan in on this year's hottest couple," Tomoyo whispered.

'
I promise you,
from the bottom of my heart,
I will love you till death do us part.
I promise you,
As a lover and a friend,
I will love you like I'll never love again,
With every thing I am.'

Sakura lays her head down onto Syaoran's shoulder, who looks down smiling.

'I see you look at me,
When you I'm not away,
Your searching for clues,
Of just how deep my feelings are.
How do you prove the sky is blue,
The oceans wide?
All I know is what I feel,
When I look into your eyes.
I promise you,
from the bottom of my heart,
I will love you till death do us part.
I promise you,
As a lover and a friend,
I will love you like I'll never love again,
With every thing that I am.
There are no guarantees,
That's what you always say to me.
But late at night I feel the tremble,
In your touch,
But what I'm trying to say to you,
I've never said to anyone,
I promise you,
from the bottom of my heart,
I will love you till death do us part.
I promise you,
As a lover and a friend,
I will love you like I'll never love again,
With every thing I am.
I promise you,
from the bottom of my heart,
I will love you till death do us part.
I promise you,
As a lover and a friend,
I will love you like I'll never love again,
With every thing I am.'

Sakura looked up.

"Oh my gosh, please tell me they're not gonna..."

'(You're everything I am)'

Sakura and Syaoran start to lean towards one another.

"They are.."

'With every thing I am.'

They kiss.

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!"

~*static*~

Sakura's face appears.

"Say something Sakura," Tomoyo commands.

"Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a rubber room. There was this doctor. The doctor was mean. The doctor gave me these pills. They made me die. They burred me in this box. There were worms in the box. The worms went in and out of my head. It drove me crazy. Crazy, I was crazy once.."

"No, somethin' meaningful."

"This is the story of Jed."

Tomoyo screamed.

~*static*~

"Now, can we please have some wise words that doesn't have anything to do with being crazy or about Jed?"

The two looked at each other with an evil gleam in their eyes. They looked back into the lens.

"There was this blonde who was driving out through the desert," they said at the same time.

Tomoyo screamed again.

Tomoyo walked back in and noticed that the tape was over. "Nice, huh? That's all that I could get, and the last bit was only nine weeks ago, just before Valentines. Hard to believe, huh? Well, after that there was a dance, and then we started a new semester. Well, it's time for bed, and I think I need some sleep. So until then, don't tell the guys that you saw this tape. They thought I burned it." Tomoyo turned off the TV and went to bed.

FINALLY!! I got this out! Wow. Well, I hope you enjoyed it, and sorry if it's short. I'm working on the second part of BS, and I hope to get it out later on tonight. If this seemed rushed, it's because that I wrote it in like an hour. Well, I'm going back to work now. Please tell me what you think!
