Too Late By ms. evil

2 years later

I put the key into the door and turned. When I walked I could tell no one noticed. I walked over to my best friend and tapped her shoulder.

"Hey Sakura."

She turned around and her eyes widened in surprise. "TOMOYO!" she screamed pulling me into a huge hug. I knew she meant well but she was really hurting me.

"Sakura, I -can't-breathe!" I managed to spit out these words. She let go.

"Tomoyo what are you doing here?" she asked.

I smiled, "Aren't you happy I'm back?"

"Of course I am. But I thought you'd be off making a new album or movie."

I shook my head, "I asked that the movie be put off for a few months." Just then I heard people coming down the stairs."

"Hey Sakura who are you- TOMOYO-CHAN!" And once again I was grabbed into a death grip hug.

"Nice to see you too Chiharu," I said.

"Hey Rika, Naoko! Tomoyo's back!" After Chiharu said that even more running was heard and I was once again in more hugs.

After hugs and greeting we all sat down for a chat.

"You know I should really thank you," I said looking at my best friends.

"Why what did we do to make you a world icon, movie star, and a singing sensation in only two years?" Rika asked.

"Well if you hadn't given me that makeover when we were fourteen I would've never done the talent show and thus never had become a singer," I replied. It was so wonderful to see their smiling faces again.

Sakura's eyes glittered with happiness she was still the same old Sakura that I knew only her hair was waist length like mine.

Rika was still elegant and beautiful, the guys must love her.

Chiharu still had her usual pushiness, but I guess that comes from being with Yamazaki-kun for too long.

Naoko, well what's changed? She still wears glasses, she still has shoulder length hair. I must have been the one to change.

"Sorry I never called, e-mailed, or wrote after the second year I was gone," I said.

"Oh we understand, the business can be pretty busy," Sakura said drinking her coke.

Chiharu nudged me, "Hey did you know the second year you were gone Sakura had gotten a boyfriend," she whispered, but Sakura heard and blushed.

"Who? How?" I asked , now this was something worth hearing.

Sakura whispered something but I didn't hear, "Sorry Sakura I didn't catch that please repeat," I said leaning on the table.

"Li Syaoran," she said blushing even more.

"You know I was wondering when you two would get together," I said sitting back in the chair and crossing my arms.

"Everyone looked at me, "You did?" Rika asked.

"Yeah. Isn't it obvious how they always give each other such 'special' looks. And how Sakura became a cheerleader right after Li-kun got onto the soccer team," I said in a matter-a-factly voice.

"Tomoyo!" Sakura screamed, her face turning ten shades of pink.

"Always the observant one," Naoko said shaking her head.

"Anyways, how about you guys? Any love in you r life?" I asked clearly seeing how uncomfortable with the earlier subject. Naoko stayed the same but Chiharu and Rika's faces turned a deep red. It was Sakura's turn to smile.

"Rika is with Terada- sensei and Chiharu is going out with Yamazaki-kun," Naoko said.

"And you?" I asked, come on Naoko had to have someone.

"Well there was Eriol-kun but we broke up."

And that's when it happened, all the memories came flooding back with that one statement. I hadn't thought of Eriol in a year. Actually I had completely forgotten about him.

"A-and how is he now?" I asked.

Sakura thought for a moment, "Well he's a lot nicer then when you were here."

"Or selfish."

"Or snobby."

"Or flirtatious," Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko added.

"So basically his personality has completely changed since I left," said. This was definitely a surprise. An Eriol that wasn't snobby, flirtatious, selfish, or cruel.

A confused look on Chiharu's face came up. "Is that it?" she said looking at me.

I was confused too, "What do you mean?"

"Well I thought that you absolutely adored him during grade school, middle school, and high school," Chiharu answered. I was still confused.

"So," I replied.

"So, wouldn't you be all like 'Eriol! Eriol where?'" Chiharu said.

Oh yeah I used to love him huh? "Actually to tell the truth, I completely forgot about him," I said taking a sip of my drink. My friend's mouths dropped in horror.

"You?" Chiharu said.

"Forget-" Rika added.

"About-" Naoko said.

"Eriol?" Sakura finished.

"The love of your life?" Naoko said. My friends were still stunned.

"Well more like a childhood infatuation," I said.

"You have definitely changed," Rika said.

I guess I had. I was still rich, but I was different. I had a huge, and I mean huge, walk in closet filled with clothes when before I couldn't care less. I went to the hair salon every month to get a hair cut when before all I did was let it grow out.

"Well anyways, Tomoyo you wanna go take a walk around Tomoeda?" Sakura said standing up.

"Sure," I said standing up too.

"Well then lets go," we all looked at Chiharu who was already at the door. We all laughed and started our walk.

"Oh look, see three new stores," Sakura said pointing to the left side of the street.

"And look the had a new park put in!" Chiharu said pulling at me to look her way. When I finally did Naoko pulled at me to look at something else.

'Hey some on you guys I'm not a stretch toy," I said sweatdropping.

Suddenly something rammed into me and I felt a huge amount of weight on me.

"Sorry," I said rubbing my head and looked up.

"It's okay." I glanced at the person I had run into and stared into a pair of the most beautiful sapphire blue eyes.
