"Welcome to my party!" Sallie announced over the microphone as she stood on the red stage of her Kimosos mansion. Hundreds of Shades students gathered in the hall, chatting and laughing while sipping on the drinks and munching on the delicious food.

Everybody immediately turned to Sallie as her voice came through the hi-fi system. The hall turned silent as all eyes focused on the beautiful girl tonight. Sallie sneaked her glance across the hall and spotted the raven-haired Tomoyo Daidouji at the corner, quietly staring out of the window. Sakura was beside her bbut didn't pay much attention as she was busily whispering sweet-nothings to her boyfriend, Li Syaoran.

"Everybody, I thank you for taking time off to celebrate my 18th birthday! I am very grateful for that so I'll make sure all of you have a splendid time today! I'm sure all of you have partners with you so feel free to dance along with this song I've chosen, Dance With Me."

Loud cheers filled the hall as the all-time famous song hit the hi-fi system as couples immediately began their dance on the floor. Sallie stepped down the stage and headed towards Tomoyo. Syaoran had pulled Sakura to the dance floor, leaving the quiet raven-haired girl staring out of the window, mind full of thoughts.

"Hey there, Tomoyo!" Sallie called out to the silent girl as she turned around. Tomoyo glanced up at Sallie before breaking into her usual warm smile, "Hello, Sallie."

To think I'm already going to plot revenge against her and she's still so full of courtesy…Wait till she tries me!

"So what are you doing?" Sallie asked, handing her a glass of wine. Violet eyes stared down at the glass before shaking her head, "Gomen ne, but I do not drink wine." Sallie shrugged before nodding, "That's ok."

Plot no.1 starts now!

Sallie held out another glass out to Tomoyo, "Here, I know you like fruit juice." Tomoyo looked down at the glass before slowly taking it, "Thank you." Sallie's eyes lit with mischief.

Hehe…wait till she finds out it isn't 100% fruit juice!

"Hey Tomoyo!" Sakura called out from the dance floor as she held on to Syaoran, "Wanna join us?" Tomoyo shook her head, smiling, "No, thanks. I'm into pop dances." Sakura smiled, "That's ok! Can you help take me a drink?" Tomoyo looked down at the glass of fruit juice before holding it out, "Here, you can take this."

No,no,no,no!!!!!!!!!! Sallie's mind chanted as she watched Sakura took the glass of fruit juice.

"Hey Sakura, I thought you told me you got sick of fruit juice? Remember we drank almost a gallon on Yamazaki's party!" Syaoran teased. Sakura looked down at the glass fruit juice before giggling, "Yeah, I just remembered! Here, Tomoyo, take it back!"

Tomoyo smiled before shaking her head, "Just leave it on the table then. Drink it when you're thirsty. I don't really need a drink." Sallie silently groaned in dismay as Sakura placed the glass drink down on the table before walking off to the dance floor with Syaoran.

Tomoyo looked at Sallie with a smile, "I'll go get some food. Is that ok?" Sallie bit down a frown, "Oh sure."

Damn it! What a close shot!

Sallie's face suddenly turned into horror when she realized that someone had took the glass drink.

SHIT!

Not even a second later, there was a scream.

"SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Whoever left the glass drink there is an idiot! Baka! Bastard!" Yamazaki cursed as he held a frightened Chiharu in his arms. She had swallowed a few gulps of the drink when she spotted the dead spider floating in the liquid. In shock and horror, the glass drink slipped from her hand and shattered to the floor.

"I hate this!" Chiharu cried out as she sat in a vacant room in the mansion with Yamazaki, Syaoran, Sakura and Tomoyo gathered together. "I'm humiliated in front of so many people!" Chiharu shouted as she frowned angrily.

"Hey, calm down, Chiharu. I'm sure the person who left the drink there didn't know that there was a spider in it either. You should have been more careful." Syaoran said.

It wasn't long before Yamazaki finally got Chiharu to calm down and brought her home. Sakura and Syaoran continued their unfinished dance, only leaving a puzzled Tomoyo behind, pondering over the issue that took place a while ago.

Something was definitely amiss.

"Tomoyo! There you are!" A voice called out from behind as Sallie Kimosos ran up to the girl sitting alone on the bar table. Sallie smiled as she settled beside her, "So how's my party so far?" Tomoyo gave a smile, "It's fine." Sallie nodded as both sat in silence. Tomoyo sipped slowly on her grape juice drink as Sallie's mind plotted busily with the next plan.

Then her eyes lit up with an idea.

Her right hand suddenly flew up to the table and hit over the grape drink, letting the glass shattered to the floor and the grape juice flowing down onto the table.

Tomoyo stood up with shock as she looked at Sallie whose pink dress was covered with the spilled liquid. A look of horror crossed Sallie's features.

"Tomoyo! How can you do this!?" Sallie cried out.

Tomoyo took a step back, "I'm so sorry, Sallie!" She watched on with utter shock and dismay as Sallie's dress was cloaked in purple liquid. Sallie let out a groan of dismay, "That is my latest dress, Tomoyo! It took me so long to find it! How can you do this?"

"I really didn't mean it!" Tomoyo said anxiously as she leant forward to grab several tissues. Sallie stepped back, face showered with fury, "Don't explain any longer. Everybody knew you did it on purpose." Tomoyo's eyes went huge, "But I didn't do anything!"

"I know you hate me but you don't have to resort to this kind of action!" Sallie cried out. Tomoyo shook her head, "You really have to believe me, Sallie! I didn't do it on purpose! I don't even know how things ended up this way!"

"Oh shut up. I know you're still angry that I managed to get him and you don't! You jolly well know that he loves me, not you!" Sallie declared. By this time, everybody had stopped dancing to watch the commotion. Even the DJ had stopped the pop music over the hi-fi system. All eyes were focused on the two of them.

"B-But--" Tomoyo started but was paused by Sallie's glare.

"Give it up, Tomoyo. You know he will never like you." With that, she turned around and was about to strut up the stairs to her room to change when the door bell rang.

Smithers ran to get it, revealing a familiar figure.

Gasps filled the whole place as the dark azure-haired boy stepped in, eyes cold and crystalline.

Sallie began to smirk.

Great timing.

Sallie suddenly started to cry, "Eriol! You came just in time! Look what your friend did to me!" Eriol's gaze landed on Tomoyo as the whole hall turned ghostly silent.

The usual twinkle in her amethyst eyes was no longer there. Instead, a worried and anxious expression flickered on her features.

Nobody spoke for a long time.

Eriol's eyes scanned the surroundings and those dark orbs landed on Sallie's stained dress. His eyes then drifted back to Tomoyo and with a cold icy tone, he spoke.

"Tomoyo, come with me."
