Model to the Heart

The competition begins- A new model

Over the days, the competition between Li and Ariel continued. They each tried to outwit each other but with little success. Sakura, being as she is, never seemed to notice that they were each getting bruises. She thought them as `makeup and novelty falls.'

As the five people [Sakura, Li, Madison, Eli and Ariel] sat in Sakura's 40m squared lounge room [it was her smallest one] the phone rang.

RING RING

"Hello, Sakura speaking." She waited for the other person to respond. "I'll be there soon, Fabienne and yes I will bring Ariel. Bye."

"Who was that?" asked Li.

"Fabienne. My manager for modelling. I'm going for another photo shot. Back in about 1hour. Let's go Ariel." She pointed to Ariel indicating it was time to go.

"I'll come too." Sakura turned around to where the voice was coming from. Li.

"But.."

"I wouldn't mind a little boredom." Li smirked and looked at Ariel. Ariel seemed to be boiling under anger.

"See ya Madison and Eli."

As they drove to the studio, Sakura kept asking Li questions which [as you would've guessed] got Ariel really frustrated. After ten minutes, they arrived at the studio. Li was struck by it's outer design. It was really peculiar. There were squiggly lines decorating the windows and other strange things.

"Sakura, is that the studio?" asked Li pointing to the `builiding.'

"Don't be silly, Li. That `s the studio." Sakrua pointed to a building at least 10 storeys high. Li was even more surprised at it.

"It's very tall."

Ariel sniggered. `This Li is pretty stupid.'

They walked down the hallway to the reception.

"Sakura Avalon and Ariel Humbug [couldn't think of anything else and Ariel is a boy's name. K?]. Fabienne called us." Sakura said to the lady.

"Yep. You're on level 9 today."

"Thanks."

"Guys, I'll meet you later." said Li.

"But."

"I'll find my way up."

Sakura and Ariel walked to the lift and got lifted to level 9. They couldn't see Fabienne anywhere so they waited. After twenty minutes she arrived.

"Hi Fab. What took you so long?" asked Ariel

"We've got a new model working under my command. He'll be more suitable for this shot than Ariel will be."

"Really?" asked Ariel raising his eyebrow. "What is his name?"

"Li Showron." Fabienne pointed to a figure standing on the other side of the room. "Just registered and he's perfect for this shot." Sakura and Ariel stood looking at Li. They couldn't believe he had registered. Fabienne broke their stare.

"Now Sakura, come here. I want you to wear that. It's going to be included in newspapers worldwide. It's the latest design. and-" she called Li towards her. "you dress in that." Sakura and Li left for the dressing rooms while Ariel started talking to Fabienne.

"What do I do?"

"You get to watch the cute pair model."

"Great." replied Ariel sarcastically.

Five minutes later, Fabienne and a few others, starting taking photos. [They were wearing the things they wore for the second movie but without those flappy things that take up space.] While they were taking shots, Fabienne decide to talk to Ariel privately.

"I've got a new job for you. You're now gonna work under Justine [girl's french name]."

They seperated and this time, Sakura asked Fabienne a question.

"Who designed these clothes?" she said pointing to what she was wearing.

"None other than Madison Taylor. She designs all you clothes."

"She does?"

Two days later, Sakura and Li were on the front page of the fashion section on newspapers worldwide even in China.

"Sakura, look." cried Madison bringing Sakura ten stacks of newspapers. Sakura almost cried when she saw the picture. It had her and Li sitting next to each other, looking at each other passionately.

"Oh brother."

Meanwhile in China, Yelan looked at the newspaper in delight. `So this is the girl my son head over heels for. My favourite model.'

They five were at Madison's mansion [alliteration] when-

RING RING

Li's mobile rang.

"Hello. Li Showron speaking." he waited a while. "Mother? I don't have to keep the agreement?" he paused and lowered his voice to a whisper. "I don't have to bring Sakura back and make her a servant? I just have to bring her back and-" he stopped. "Thanks. Bye."

Li looked truimphant. `I am going to get Sakura, no matter what.'
