Hello! Okay, I know the last chapter was really weird. I know. The whole
'pop' thing was because I thought they would go better with the story then
rap would. Personally I don't like pop either so I borrowed the music from
my friend. So now here is another pop song that went well with the story.
Well now that that's settled on with the story!

I stood to the side of the stage watching the act. Uneasiness swept through me. What if things don't go right? I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. I gasped in surprise.
"Sakura aren't you supposed to be in the audience?" I asked looking at my emerald-eyed friend.
"I guess I could, but I like the view from here better," she said smiling. I smiled back and looked back onstage to see Nozomi finishing her act up.
"Wow, that's going to be hard to beat," the principle said on the stage, " Now here is Tomoyo Daidouji. She will be singing Reflection."
Well here it goes. I walked onstage and looked out into the vast audience. Nervous I looked back at Sakura, she smiled and gave me a thumbs up. I gazed back out into the audience and saw Eriol and Syaoran right in front of me. As the music started I finally gathered the courage to sing.
"Look at me you may think you see who I really am But you'll never know me Everyday it's as if I play a part Now I see if I wear a mask I can fool the world But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me When will my reflection show who I am inside
I am now in a world where I have to harden my heart And what I believe in But somehow I will show the world what's inside my heart And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me Why is my reflection someone I don't know Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time When will my reflection show who I am inside
There's a heart that must be free to fly It burns with the need to know the reason why What must we all conceal what we think how we feel Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time When will my reflection show who I am inside
When will my reflection show who I am inside."
As the music faded away looked up at the audience. An explosion of noise erupted from them. I smiled, so maybe I really do have talent. When I walked off stage I heard the principle say, "That was great, now there will be a moments wait as the judges tally up the scores."
"You were great Tomoyo!" I turned around to see Sakura behind me, again.
"Sakura- chan you really have to stop creeping up on me like that," I sighed.
"Oops, sorry. But I would like to tell you that your fans left gifts," she said cheerfully.
"Gifts?" I had never received gifts before. Maybe a gift but not gifts.
"Yeah I'll show you!" Sakura pulled me into the dressing room. In there was a huge pile of flowers, letters, and chocolates. On it was a sign: TOMOYO DAIDOUJI"S
"One of the teachers put the sign on so you would know which pile was yours," Sakura said.
"Daidouji-san you better get onstage there're about to announce the results," a teacher hissed at us.
"Wish me luck," I said running towards the stage. "Good luck Tomoyo!" I heard Sakura yell after me.
"Now before the results I would like to say you all did a very good job and it was a very hard decision. Okay now the outcome. In third place, Meiling Li!" Meiling stepped up and received a bouquet of flowers and a certificate.
"Second place, Nozomi Ota!"
"And now the moment you've all been waiting for." I held my breath, this was the moment. "In first place, Tomoyo Daidouji!"
The crowd exploded in cheers as I stepped up and received a crown, roses, and a trophy. I couldn't believe it. I won? Tears of joy fell from my eyes.
Backstage friends and people I've never even seen before surrounded me. If I was still a geek only Sakura, Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko would be here. But that was then and this is now and I'm surrounded by tons of people.
Soon the crowd disappeared leaving my friends here with me.
"Look at the gifts Tomoyo it was even bigger then before!" Chiharu exclaimed.
"Wow your so lucky," Naoko said.
I nodded in agreement I was lucky. Just then Eriol and Syaoran came in.
"Great show Daidouji-san," I heard Eriol say.
"Glad you think so," I replied. He came up to where I was standing and placed some violets in my hair. I could tell he was trying too hard.
"That was spectacular." We all turned to the door to see a woman standing there. She was wearing a business suit so she wasn't a teacher, they always wear colorful attire. She looked to be about middle age, dark curly hair, and deep blue eyes.
"Thanks but who are you?" I asked.
(A/N I suck at making up Japanese names so it's gonna be English)
" I'm Erika Maleron. I'm a talent scout and I can see your have great potential Daidouji-san," she said. For an American she has great Japanese. (A/N This is Tomoyo's thought. I have nothing against Americans.)
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"What I mean is, is that you Tomoyo has the potential to become a world icon. With the proper decisions of course," Erika said
We all gaped at her. I had that much talent? Enough talent to become a world icon?
Erika smiled at us, "Surprised huh? Anyways when you make your decision call me." She handed me a small white card and walked away.
I turned back to my friends and asked, "So what do you think I should do?"
A/N: See I told you the talent show had a lot to do with this. Next chapter will be up soon.
