YAY, YAY, YAY!!!!!! Since I have a total of SEVEN reviews I am on Cloud
Nine. And since school's out for Thanksgiving Break and I have TONS of
time on my hands I just decided to update earlier (namely, the day after I
previously updated).
DreamerDust: Thanx! You're so kind. I sortta came up with the Destiny and Cupid idea on the spot. . . oh well, inspiration strikes at the most unusual moments! ^.^
Kan-chan: HAPPY EARLY TURKEY DAY TO YOU, TOO! Just a warning: Sakura getting a cold isn't the only thing that's going to stop S+S from meeting. hehehe. Thank you for continuously reviewing!!!! ^.~
Guess?Who: Yeah, this IS my first fic. *blush* You're too kind. BTW- I really DON'T know who you are. Am I supposed to know or is that just your penname? Anyways, THANK YOU!!!!
Mistique: THANKS FOR REVIEWING!!! It'll get much better and longer. . . I promise!
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR REVIEWING!!!! I get all giddy when someone reviewed- especially since this is just my first fic. I hope to get a total of 10 reviews altogether (including Chapter 1 and 2's reviews). KEEP REVIEWING!!!! Thanx!
DISCLAIMER: Must I really say it? All right: I don't own CCS, although I wish I did. Wishing doesn't do anything- because CCS belongs to *sob* CLAMP. . .
SUMMARY: Syaoran and Sakura are strangers in each other's worlds. They have had no previous contact or friendship. Syaoran falls for the wrong person (aka NOT Sakura), but Sakura doesn't care, because they are strangers to each other. Destiny pulls them together, but the plan goes awry and turns disastrous. The plan turns friends onto friends and ruins any chance of a relationship between Sakura and Syaoran. Somehow, though, the pieces fix themselves between friends, but the bond between love is broken- perhaps forever.

Chapter Three- Crossing Paths With the Wrong Person
On earth, in Tomoeda, Japan:
Sakura blew her nose miserably. "I feel terrible!" She wailed. And she looked terrible too. What- with her nose so red that she could've pulled Santa's sleigh, used tissues all around her on the couch, and her eyes dull and uninteresting- you couldn't tell that she was Japan's famous model.
"What are we going to do? The ball's in three days! I heard that it takes FIVE days to get over a cold! What are we going to do???" Tomoyo wailed, even louder and sadder than Sakura. *She won't find her soul mate and fall in love! And I won't be able to design her wedding dress!*
"Why are you so anxious about the ball anyway? It's not like YOU'RE the on with the cold!" Sakura asked suspiciously, for once not being so dense.
"Umm. . ." Tomoyo panicked. "We should go to the ball together- like friends instead of alone, right?"
"I guess you're right," Sakura said, becoming naïve and unsuspecting once more. Tomoyo chuckled nervously. *Whew! That was a close call! She could've found out my, er, Destiny's plan!* Tomoyo thought and secretly congratulated herself for pulling a fast one out of that web.
"Ah, AH, AH. . . CHOO!!!!" *But she STILL has a cold, though. . .* Tomoyo groaned inwardly as Sakura blew her nose.
In Heaven:
"It's going all WRONG!" Destiny wailed, even louder and sadder than Tomoyo (if that was possible). A/N: What is this? International Wail Day?
"Aw. . ." Cupid patted Destiny's back reassuringly. "I bet everything will turn out OK, right?"
"WWWWWAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!" Destiny bawled, tears streaming down her cheeks. "IT'S NEVER GONE THIS WRONG BEFORE!!!!!!!!"
"Sorry, Destiny, but you don't have a mommy- you're immortal." This only made Destiny cry harder.
On earth, in Korea:
*How many times did I have to pry all those girls off me??? I told them I wasn't interested! Jerks! They're so clingy! Maybe I should just be a confirmed bachelor all my life!* Syaoran thought. *At least there's still Japan. I'm attending the ball there. Maybe I'll find a nice girl there. . .*
"Prepare for takeoff to Tokyo, Japan. . ." Syaoran groaned and covered his ears- he was tired of hearing that message over and over again.
Some days later on earth, in Tokyo:
Sakura sniffled slightly. "Remind me why I'm here wearing a dress and going to a ball even though I still have a cold?"
"Your cold is getting better and I didn't want to go to the ball alone," Tomoyo said. "Hey- look at that building! That's a store that sells the entire 'Midnight' line!"
Sakura shivered. "Can we just get to the ballroom where it's nice and warm? I'm freezing! Why couldn't I have brought my shawl?"
"Because your shawl would throw off the whole redness of the dress! The shawl is multi-colored, and if you really wanted a shawl it should be white."
Sakura sweatdropped. "Look! There's the place where the ball is held! Let's go!" Sakura grabbed Tomoyo's hand and started to run towards the hotel.
Inside, where it was "nice and warm," Sakura sighed in relief. Tomoyo glanced at her watch. 4:23, it read.
"Hey, Sakura, let's go down to the ball room, okay?" Tomoyo sort of commanded Sakura. *Yes! Three minutes until they meet!*
Sakura smiled faintly. "Okay, Tomoyo. . ." And Sakura closed her eyes and fainted.
"Sakura, what's wrong? Wake up, Sakura!" Tomoyo caught Sakura and started shaking her. Sakura's eyes fluttered open.
"I'm okay, just let me sit here a while."
"Okay. . . I'll go down to the ballroom to get some punch for us," Tomoyo said hurriedly. *Well, if Sakura can't go to her soul mate than I'll bring her soul mate to her!* With that Tomoyo looked around her and walked downstairs. *I'll pretend to be Sakura and when I bump into someone I'll take that someone to meet Sakura!* CRASH! Someone bumped into Tomoyo and knocked her down.
"I'm sorry. Here, let me help you up." A hand reached down and pulled Tomoyo up to gaze into two amber eyes.
Syaoran let go of Tomoyo's hand hastily. *What's this aura I sense? I feel like we were meant to be. She seems so familiar, like my soul mate.*
*So this is Sakura's soul mate. . . Cute, for sure, but not my type. Wait- how come he's looking at me like that? Has. . . has Sakura's aura rubbed off on me when I was near her and now this guy thinks that I'm his one and only????* Tomoyo thought as shock swept over her.
"What's your name?" The amber-eyed stranger asked her.
"Tomoyo. Tomoyo Daidouji."
"Tomoyo, I may not know you, but I feel as if we're meant to be," Syaoran said. *If I marry her, and she does feel like my soul mate, then I won't have to marry Meiling!* "So," Syaoran got down on one knee, right there on the stairs. "Tomoyo Daidouji, will you marry me?"
"NANI????"
Hehe. cliffhanger! That's the twist I was talking about. Syaoran seems sortta evil using Tomoyo to get out of marrying Meiling, doesn't he? Anyways, you know I won't make Tomoyo marry Syaoran, right? But if she says no Syaoran will just leave and he'll never meet Sakura. . . That's just a preview of the next chapter! And now the story finally picks up some pace! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!! I WANT TO GET AT LEAST THREE REVIEWS FOR THIS CHAPTER!!!!!
Always the evil one, MoonlightMist
Happy Thanksgiving and see ya next time!
