The FULL Summary: When Syaoran Li was 19 he took over the Li companies. He shortly later married Cindy Letterman a 18 year old woman still in collage. He had his daughter Haruha (hah-roo-nah)Ann Li when he was 20. His wife, Cindy, died shortly after the birth of her daughter, Haruha.
Now Syaoran is 25 and still working at the Li companies. He plays with his daughter, Haruha, as much as possible but can't find time to take care of her fully. When he tries to give his daughter a good baby-sitter, Haruha doesn't accept the baby-sitters and complains about them every living second to Syaoran when he's home. The baby-sitters only last about a few days before they are fired by Syaoran in the request of Haruha.
What happens when Sakura, a 22 year old collage student is looking for a summer job and happens to find an, flyer for baby-sitting Haruha, in a very expensive clothes store? Does Sakura know what's in store for her?

At The 'Asian Rose Complexion' Store
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura's POV (it means point of view for all u people who doesn't know what it means)
I had no clue now Tomoyo dragged my into this store. The 'Asian Rose Complexion' was the most expensive and the most elegant store in the whole mall. When I say expensive I mean expensive. The last time I went there with Tomoyo I saw a really cute hot-pink tank-top with different sized light pink and white cherry blossoms that lined the waist. I tried it on. It looked really cute, but then when I saw the price-tag I put it back on the racks and dragged Tomoyo out the door. The pice-tag clearly read $24.99. I mean you could buy a cute pair of shorts with that money. And no it all went to just that one tank-top.
I got that same tank-top from that store for my birthday from Tomoyo along with other clothes that were from 'Asian Rose Complexion' for my birthday this year. Now Tomoyo was dragging me there again. I had other things to do other than wandering around that store, as in looking for a summer job to make more cash. So I of course refused to go but Tomoyo broke down in tears saying that she didn't want to go into the store alone. I, of course being the good friend I am, had to go with Tomoyo to make her stop crying. Now here I am looking though a rack of shorts with pice-tag clearly priced $49.99 - $119.99.
Just then Tomoyo grabbed the pair of shorts I was starring at for a long time. The price read $59.99. I was debating how long I would have to save to buy those pair of shorts with my allowance. She dragged me to the cashier counter. I was begging my head off to Tomoyo not to spend her money on me. Of course she didn't do anything so giving up I just let her buy it for me.
When we got to the counter I saw something that caught me eye. A flyer saying...

I grabbed a flyer before heading out of the store with Tomoyo to the food court.

Food Court With Sakura and Tomoyo
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
"Tomoyo what do you think about this as a summer job?" Sakura handed Tomoyo the flyer she had grabbed from the 'Asian Rose Complexion' before she and Tomoyo had headed out the store.
"I think it's a great job for you! You like to be around kids so a baby-sitter will be great. And also talk about a great pay! You don't have to work on Wednesdays or Saturdays!" exclaimed Tomoyo.
"You have a good point. I'll call later and see if the job is still available."
"You are so lucky to have found that. Now you can spend more time with me instead of looking for summer jobs."
*sakura sweat drops while Tomoyo is still grinning*

3 Days Later (Monday Tomoyo and Sakura were shopping on Friday so it's Monday)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura's POV
I had called the number on the paper. The person on the other line was called Syaoran Li. He sounded somewhat relieved when I called saying that I will be the baby-sitter of Haruha, but only for the summer.
Now I'm on the way to the Li residence. I dressed in the hot-pink tank-top from 'Asian Rose Complexion'. The same one I was looking at the first time I went to that store. You know the one with the pink and white cherry blossoms running across the waist. I was also wearing a dark blue pair of shorts with a white and pink cherry blossom on the bottom right of the right leg of the shorts, also from the 'ARC' (I'm going to call the 'Asian Rose Complexion' that from now on). I looked pretty good saying that I had to make a good impression on the child and the parent on my first day. I had found out that Haruha's mother had died after giving birth to Haruha.
I put my honey light brown hair up in two low pigtails. Having my hair grown 8 inches past my shoulders the low pigtails now no-longer looked childish.
So I started to walk toward the house in which I will be baby-sitting 5 year old Haruha.
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
In Front of The Li Residence
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes!!! I thought that the Li Residence would be a 3 story very elegant house but instead I now stood in-front of the gates of a 6 story MANSION! The house was very elegant and looked like it had several gardens and many ladies in waiting. I just wonder why Mr. Li needed my help for it seemed quite reasonable that the maids could have taken care of Haruha themselves.
So I proceeded to ring the doorbell...
Normal POV
Sakura with a shaking hand rang the doorbell of the huge Li Mansion. A voice suddenly sounded in the little intercom.
"Welcome to the Li Residence. How may I help you today?" said the voice.
"I'm here for the baby-sitting job. I'm supposed to baby-sit Haruha Ann Li today," replied Sakura rather surprising with a clam voice.
"Yes, you will see Mr. Li Syaoran and Miss. Li Haruha at the main lounge. A maid will lead you there from the front door. Have a nice day."
The gates opened wide and Sakura proceeded to walk across the long driveway.
A maid met Sakura at the door and proceeded to lead her to the main lounge. When Sakura entered the door she saw a man at least the age of 25 with messy chocolate brown hair and amber eyes dressed in a business suit. Beside him stood a little cute girl who was no other than Haruha Ann Li. She was dressed in a little yellow dress with a white ribbon tied across the waist. She had chocolate brown hair like the man that stood beside her but with light cheerful light blue eyes. She stared at Sakura with a no expression face...
Haruha's POV
My new baby-sitter seemed nice. I saw her wearing some clothes that I saw at the 'ARC' when daddy took me to the 'ARC' to shop for the dress I was wearing now. She looked pretty. Almost like my mother in the pictures, but mother had shoulder length hair, they were the same color but her hair was longer. Mom had blue eyes but she had emerald. I have to say that her eyes were prettier than mommy's but yet again I never knew my mommy in real life so I don't really know.
I knew that she wouldn't be one of those other annoying baby-sitters that were only there for the money and not the job. They sat there all day starring at the TV telling me to play with my dolls, get with homework, go to lessons, and play with my dolls again. But I could tell that my new baby-sitter was different. She looked like she was actually there for the job and not the money. I think she might actually play with me instead of facing the TV every living second of the day. I decided to show no expressions until I actually knew her.
Syaoran POV
I swore I was starring at Cindy herself. She was almost exactly like her except for her hair which was a little longer than Cindy's and she had emerald eyes instead of light blue. I swore I was actually looking at Cindy instead of the baby-sitter. This was going to be fun to see how Haruha likes her. This girl named Sakura, who was only here interested in a Summer Job.
Normal POV
Syaoran stepped up to Sakura.
"Hi, I'm Syaoran Li and this is Haruha Li right beside me. My daughter," said Syaoran.
"Very nice to meet you Syaoran and Haruha. You probley already know this but I'm Sakura Kinomoto," said Sakura. "I'll be looking forward to looking after Haruha." Sakura gave Haruha one of her rare smiles that say were-going-to-have-fun-together. Haruha couldn't help but smile at Sakura.
"I have to get going or else I'll miss the business meeting. I hope you have a good time with Haruha," Syaoran nodded at Sakura and turned to Haruha and kissed her on the cheek. Haruha returned the kiss and smiled at her dad.
"Good bye Daddy!!!" said Haruha.
"Good bye sweetheart. See you tonight," replied Syaoran as he left the room to his limo that was waiting outside.
"What do you say Haruha. Maybe you can show me around your house?" asked Sakura.
"Sure!" said Haruha with a huge smile. She couldn't wait to take Sakura to her room and her favorite garden. (A/N: This is not the end of it even though I would like to end it but I'm bored so I'll write more.)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura and Haruha
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
Haruha had shown Sakura all the rooms that she needed to know about so she wouldn't get lost. Haruha lastly lead her to the guest room.
The guest room was a beautiful pale pink. The room wallpaper had different sizes of a darker pink and white cherry blossoms. It had a beautiful oak closet and a full length mirror near the balcony. The balcony was in a half circle. It was of white marble. They went inside to Sakura's bathroom which connected to the guest room. The huge square bathtub was made with a special kind of white and pink swirled marble. So was the toilet and sink. The countertop was made with a darker pink and white swirled marble. The whole guest room was theme pink and white.
Haruha lastly showed Sakura her room. Haruha's room was right next to Sakura's guest room.
Haruha's room's wallpaper was a light cloud blue with different sizes of white and yellow stars all over the light cloud blue background. Haruha also had a connected bathroom except that the huge square bath tub was a light blue swirled a midnight blue marble as the same with the toilet and the sink. The countertop was of a midnight blue and white swirled marble. Haruha's balcony was also a half circle made of light cloud blue marble. Haruha's room was decorated with blue and white. That was clearly Haruha's favorite color.
"Your favorite color is blue right?" asked Sakura.
"Yes, it is. Like my eyes!" said Haruha's with a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Your room is very pretty. I love it," said Sakura smiling back at Haruha.
"Thank You! You want to go to the garden next? I'll show you my favorite garden made by daddy just for me!"
"Sure. I would love to see it!"
Haruha led Sakura out into the back yard and into a maze which Haruha passed with ease. They entered a beautiful clearing with Sakura Trees and Flowers. The Sakura Trees were somehow made to grow light blue and dark blue Sakura Blossoms instead of pink of white ones. There were also a few trees of white Sakura Blossoms. Sakura stared at awe at the scene before her. There were also flower beds of many different kinds or blue flowers. In the center was a pond with huge black, white, gold, and red goldfish, and near it was a midnight blue, light blue, and white swirled marble bench. The whole place was beautiful. Where the paths weren't grew grass as to have picnic on if you wanted to.
Sakura and Haruha spent the rest of the time after lunch chasing each other under the falling blue Sakura Blossoms. When they were tired they laid on the grass and looked at the clouds. Then when they were rested they chased each other once again and it just went on and on like that until Haruha fell asleep tired from all the playing. Sakura took Haruha back to her room.
Haruha and Sakura had a very nice dinner and sat on the couch together watching Disney movies together until Syaoran came home.
Syaoran POV
I came home to hear a bunch of laughs coming from the main living room. I went in to see Sakura and Haruha amusing themselves with watching Cinderella. It was the part where the mice when to get materials for Cinderella's dress for the ball but woke the cat up and the mice was trying to run away from the cat with the materials.
I looked up at the clock. It was 8:00 p.m. I had stayed 1 hour longer than usual. I saw a bunch of Disney video's on the table top. Most were open and still had tapes in them. I thought that they must have finished watching those. They had so far been though Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and now Cinderella (A/N: I know that in real life you wont be able to watch those all from 6:30 - 8:00 but please just go along with me cuz this is MY Fan-Fic). That finishes off all the Disney princess series. Haruha was for once enjoying herself to much to notice me there.
I didn't want to interrupt them but I wanted a kiss from my daughter so I had to.
Normal POV
"Haruha, I see you are enjoying yourself?" asked Syaoran with one of his rare smiles.
"DADDY!!!" yelled Haruha as she ran into Syaoran's arms and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Yes, I am daddy! You won't believe what Sakura and I did today!!! I showed her around the house and then I took her to my secret garden and we chased each other and watched the clouds together also!!! Then after dinner we sat down and watched movies!!! My favorite princess movies!!!"
"That's great Haruha. Can you please tell the maids to get my dinner ready?" asked Syaoran.
"Ok daddy!" said Haruha said Haruha as she ran to tell the kitchen maids to get her dad's dinner ready.
"I will leave now that you are back and after I say good-bye to Haruha," said Sakura.
"Sure," replied Syaoran
Haruha ran into the room and smiled at Sakura.
"I have to go now Haruha. I'll see you tomorrow ok?" said Sakura with a smile.
"Ok!!!" said Haruha as she turned toward her dad. "Daddy can I go shopping with Sakura tomorrow? I'll be good. I also promise to be back by 4:00! Please?"
"That's fine," replied Syaoran.
"Yeah!!! Well, go shopping tomorrow! See you tomorrow Sakura!" said Haruha.
"Bye Haruha. Good night," said Sakura.
"Bye!!!" said Haruha with a very huge smile.
Sakura left though the door and went home.

Haruha and Syaoran
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
Syaoran was sitting reading a newspaper on the couch after he just ate dinner. Haruha suddenly ran into the room.
"Can I talk to you daddy?" asked Haruha.
"Of course you can," replied Syaoran.
"Can we take Sakura with us to the Summer Ball at the 4 Seasons Hotel next month?"
"We can't invite anyone with us. You know that. They have to get an invitation in order to go. That ball is very high classed. I would like to but I can't. Sorry Haruha,"
"Can I also ask you something else to?"
"Yes, you can. What is it?"
"Doesn't you think that Sakura looks a lot like mommy?"
"You must have been looking though the photo albums I have you huh?"
"Yes, I have. I want to know doesn't she look a lot like mommy?"
"Yes, she does."
"Did mommy like Sakura Blossoms?"
"Yes, She did."
"That's nice. I like Sakura Blossoms too. Like mommy. Sakura also like Sakura Blossoms. She told me so. My favorite color is blue and Sakura's favorite color is pink. Mommy also likes pink. You told me so. Right?"
"Right."
They went on and on and on and on comparing Sakura and Haruha with Cindy (Haruha's mom) until Haruha finally fell asleep.

The Next Day Shopping With Sakura and Haruha
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
Sakura took Haruha into 'Gap Kids'. Syaoran had given Sakura a credit card this morning to put all the shopping expenses on. Syaoran had told Sakura that Haruha would be attending a ball the next month so she needed an elegant dress as long with some summer dresses.
Sakura took Haruha into the dress section. She took out a light blue spegetite strapped summer dress. It had a dark blue ribbon that went all around the waist and the dress reached just a little below the knees. Sakura also took out a forest green dress that went with a summer long scarf. Haruha loved them and so they purchased the summer dresses.
Sakura then took Haruha to 'Limted Too' and got a small jar of light blue glittery nail polish as long with hair glitter and light blue eyeshadow all for fun. Then Sakura and Haruha decided to buy the dark blue ankle bracelet which had little light blue and dark blue Sakura flower beads.
Sakura and Haruha decided to get some food for lunch so they went and got pizza in the food court (sorry not for mentioning this before but they are in a mall).
Lastly Sakura took Haruha to the 'ARC'. She brought Haruha to the Ball Wear Section for Kids. First Haruha tried on a light green gown with sleeves that were under she shoulders. Sakura didn't really like the color so they got the forrest green one but with the same style. That didn't work well either. After trying on LOADS of dresses they finally found one.
That one was a deep midnight blue. It had very tin straps. The waist had a see-though ribbon with small designs of white starts. The gown was of a heavy silk and had 8 layers of cloth starting down from the waist so the gown was slowly branching out in a form of a bell but not quite as much like a bell. The gown reached to the floor and hid Haruha's shoes. That one looked perfect on Haruha's little figure so they brought that. That dress alone cost $299.99.
They looked for shoes and came upon some midnight blue with mimi high-heals. It looked exactly like the color of the dress so they brought that for $89.99. They went to look at the mimi jewelry and decided to look though what Haruha had a home first and if they found non then they would ask Syaoran's permission first before buying any real jewelry.
With that they finished their shopping and headed back home to watch the new DVD that they also brought. 'Cinderella 2' and 'The Little Mermaid 2'.

The Next Day (Wednesday So Sakura Doesn't Have To Baby-sit)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
"HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Sakura as she checked her mail.
"What is it kauji (is that how u spell it?) Your waking the whole neighborhood," asked Touya.
"Read this," said Sakura as she shoved the letter under Touya's nose.
It said:
Dear Sakura Kinomoto:
Thank You for your registration at the 'Asian Rose Complexion'! You will be noticed when there are special balls hosted or special events or garden parties. You are going to be one of the lucky few who know and are invited to it. You will also be offered special offers. Thank You for your time once again. Here is the following message we would like to say:
Dear Sakura Kinomoto:
You are hear-by invited to the Summer Ball at the 4 Season Hotel on July 12th, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. Dinner will be served there also. Please show this invitation at the front doors to be able to gain access to the ball. YOU are the one invited. Please do not invite someone with you. This innovation only admits one person.
Dress Formal. Have a nice day and we hope you do come.
-4 Seasons Hotel Manager and Ball Arrangement Manager
"Gosh Sakura. Why did you get such high classed mail invitations," asked Touya as Sakura grabbed the invitation back.
"No time for talk. I need to go see Tomoyo about this. I know there is something up with this and it's related with Tomoyo. See you later Touya and tell dad I'm over at Tomoyo's!" yelled Sakura as she rushed out the door already dressed (don't ask how, I think she was already dressed before she opened the letter).
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
With Tomoyo and Sakura at Tomoyo's House
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura's POV
Oh how I was going to kill. I can't BELIEVE THAT TOMOYO SIGNED ME UP FOR AN 'ARC' MEMBERSHIP WITHOUT TELLING ME!!! I'LL LOOK LIKE A FREAK IF I DON'T ATTEND THEM!!! IT'LL DISGRACE MY FAMILY NAME!!! NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO EVERYONE OF THOSE STUPID BALLS AND GARDEN PARTIES AND ART FESTIVALS AND WHATEVER!!! Tomoyo DOESN'T know what she got us into.
Normal POV
Sakura arrived at Tomoyo's Mansion which was a 4 story mansion and it was HUGE!!! You could at least fit about 100 little tiny apartment rooms in just one story. It also had a total of 40 ponds, 100 fountains, 200 statues, and 80 gardens and 1 underground basketball court for cheerleading practice.
The mansion was painted a light lavender with white trimmings and borders.
Sakura, who was VERY (and I emphasize that by 1,000) mad, stomped up Tomoyo's driveway and rang the doorbell and demanded to see Tomoyo.
Tomoyo's POV
When Sakura walked into the room I saw the evil in her eyes. I did NOT know what was going on. I was just making appointments for Sakura and I at the hair parlor and beauty parlor. I got an invitation to the Summer Ball at the 4 seasons hotel from 'ARC'. It was one of the member benefits to be told if any rare parties are going on then we would be told and invited to it. So I decided to sign her up. I thought that she would be happy but she looks like she's going to kill. And I have an idea that it's me she might kill.
Normal POV
"TOMOYO!!! YOU BETTER EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON!!!" yelled Sakura looking VERY red at the moment. You just might be unlucky to cross her path.
"Um... I signed you up for the 'ARC' membership. I thought that you would like it. It also included in store discounts!!! I thought that you would be happy. But your not. Ne?" asked Tomoyo with an innocent face.
"NO!!! I'm not HAPPY!!! If I don't go I'll look like a fool!!!" yelled Sakura back.
"I never thought of that. Anyway. I just made some appointments for us. Knowing that we wouldn't get out of the situation. So yeah. We're going and I'M doing your hair and make-up. YOUR GOING!!!"
"I WILL NOT!!! YOU BETTER GET ME OUT OF THIS!!!"
"I got an invitation months ago. I'm going to be one of the guests of honor because of my mom's work. I NEED SOMEONE TO COME WITH ME!!! I DON'T WHAT TO BE ALL ALONE!!!" wailed Tomoyo as she put on her best puppy dog face and looked like she was about to cry.
"NO TOMOYO!!!"
Tomoyo started to cry and wail. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!! I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND!!! YOU WON'T EVEN COME TO A LITTLE SUMMER BALL WITH ME!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!"
"Tomoyo. STOP CRYING!!! OK? I'll go!!! Just DON'T cry!!!"
Tomoyo stopped crying and looked at Sakura with her biggest smile. "OK!!! Yeah!!! I have made appointments at the hair parlor at the mall and also the beauty parlor. 4:00 p.m. at the hair parlor. Meet me there the day of the ball. DON'T FORGET OR I'LL KICK YOUR BUTT!!!"
"Ok, ok, Tomoyo. Fine. BUT I DON'T EVEN HAVE A DRESS!!!" Sakura regretted saying that. I mean really regretted it.
"Ok then!!! Let's go shopping!!! Next Wednesday!!! Be here!!!"
Blah blah blah. Sakura ate breakfast at Tomoyo's house and then they went to the park and then out for lunch and then went bowling, swimming, and then lastly biking and then they both went back home for rest, dinner, sleep and so on and so forth.
(I don't want to stop there either so I'll just keep writing!!! This is going to be my record of 100 pages!!! Just Kidding. I just want to write more because I'm bored to DEATH!)

That Sunday (Sakura Doesn't Have To Baby-sit Haruha)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
There were shouts of joy from the Kinomoto house and though the windows you can see Touya and Aiden (Sakura's father) drinking Champaign and Sakura drinking apple cider. Let's take a closer look shall we?
"OH MY GOSH DAD!!! WERE RICH!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!" yelled Touya (rich is it? Hum...what's going on?)
"This is the luckiest day of our lives!!! First thing we should do is go buy A LOT of Sakura flowers for your mother and thank her for the luck, for watching over us, and also hoping that she still watches over us. Then we go to the temple and thank the gods. Then I think we should get a new house," Aiden.
"That sounds great. Cheers to father for our new fortune and luck," said Sakura. They clanged their glasses together and drank. "But you still haven't told us how you got the money though."
"Well, Let's just say that my shares of the stock market made a HUGE raise and will stay there for a while. I'm thinking of selling my company and then buy a modeling company, for your Mom this time (Sakura's mother was a model, don't forget that)," finished Aiden.
"That's great!" said Touya.
It just went on and on and on that night until midnight when suddenly everyone fell asleep from being to tired.

The Next Day
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
Sakura went to baby-sit Haruha. This time they got permission from Haruha's dad to go and buy some jewelry.
They went to 'ARC' and got some that matcher perfectly with Haruha's dress and shoes. They got a necklace the had a dyed blue crystal in a shape of a small rose with smaller roses around that one. It was on a small chain made of white gold (it's white gold not silver, silver is different from white gold). Then they got a matching tiara. It had dyed blue roses in places and were surrounded by little diamonds. It's base was made of white gold also.
After the day was over they went back to Haruha's house and watched Mulan (that movie is SOO....... good. Mulan reminds me of myself sortta. It sets a very good view of Asians mostly China. That's where I'm from. I'm Chinese/Japanese but mostly Chinese).
When Sakura went home they found out that her dad had already sold his company and brought a modeling company. She also found out that company is going to start in 2 months. Just enough to buy accessories, decorate, hire workers and models, and choose a goal. She also found out that, that Wednesday they were going to look for a new house. (A/N: Gosh. This chapter is 12 pages already!!! I've been writing for so...long. hey!!! I think I can Finnish this whole story in one chapter!!! Hehe. That'll be fun. The longest story in one chapter in the whole of fanficton.net. hehe. Should I?)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
That Wednesday (no baby-sitting for Sakura)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
They have received a letter saying that the whole of the Kinomoto family was invited to the 'Summer Ball at the 4 Season Hotel on July 12th, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. as special guest of the Ball'. Sakura got the same letter about a week ago but this time she was to go as the special guest. Of course Tomoyo found out and Tomoyo rambled and rambled about how she's going to make Sakura look so pretty that she'll be able to knock the boys at the ball off their feet.
By the end of the day they had found a mansion like Tomoyo's. It was 4 stores (like Tomoyo's) it was white with dark blue trimmings and borders around the roof, windows, doors, ect. They had also hired a few cooks, maids, drivers, and had brought 3 limo's (one of each member of the family just in-case they had to go in different directions all at once). They had brought a whole new furniture set.
Sakura got a HUGE room. It could fit 2 whole luxury hotel suites. The room was plain white with wood floors a first but they redid all that.
It now had a cute light pink wallpaper with Sakura flowers and stars (all sizes). Near the door all the way until it started getting close to the bed and wardrobe, it was a pretty polished light wood-board floor. That whole section (which was big) had a big TV with a glass table which held a setting of flowers and provided a place where you could do your homework.
The part where it wasn't covered in wood was placed with a pink and white swirled carpet. The bed was the one was a canopy and where you could pull the see-though curtains around the bed. The see-though curtains were a light pink and the sheets, pillows, and blankets were of different shades of pink. All had a designed of Sakura flowers.
There was a HUGE half circle marble balcony. The marble was a color changing kind. In the moonlight it was white but in the day under the sunlight it would turn pink. There Sakura put different kinds of pink flower plants between the jade plants (you know those Chinese bushes with the smooth waxy leaves) so it went pink flowers, jade plant, pink flowers, jade plant, and ect. It also had a little round table with one of those high umbrella's with cute (it was also pink as you should have guessed if not then your nuts. You know Sakura likes pink) little pink metal seats in which you can in on sunny days and sip tea or coffee of whatever you like.
Sakura also had a connecting bathroom from her room. The huge pink square tub/hot-tub was made of marble that was colored a light pink, hot pink, and white swirled together. That was also the same with the toilet, shower (that bathroom also had a shower), and sink. The bathroom counter was of a hot-pink and white swirled marble. The floor of the bathroom had a cute pattern of pink and white tile. The bathroom had small light high wall flowerboxes and in those were fake vines with green leaves that went all around the bathroom walls. The bathroom also had torch lights and main light on the ceiling.
That day Tomoyo and Sakura were looking around Sakura's room which Tomoyo approved of VERY much. Tomoyo and Sakura, for the rest of they day were making plans of a new garden that would be planted and built. Aiden had given one of the spaces to Sakura to plant whichever she liked.
So far they were looking into a huge metal gate that would lead into the garden. A brick wall will surround the front. Vines will grow onto the walls and in-front of the gates (or more like next to them) would be placed 2 beautiful statues of angels. When you enter you will be looking upon rows and rows of rose hedges. You will travel from the red roses, to white roses, to pink roses, then yellow, and lastly specially dyed blue roses. After that you will come to a huge black marble slant the is standing upright from one end (sideways)of the garden to the other. Water would be running down the marble sides (like one of those fountains I saw at the rose garden). Right in the middle would be a 200 feet space where you can walk though (so the marble fountain looks like 2 sperate ones, in which they are, lolz ^-^'). Then you will be entering the main part of the garden.
Beyond the roses and the marble fountains would be pebble pathways leading from one flowered to another. And at some places around the pebble pathways would be little path lights (the same ones I will describe on the pond).
The flowerbeds would hold flowers that were pink and white. Behind the flower beds would be Sakura trees. The trees would go in color arrangement. It would go, white, pink, green (color dyed special), green, pink, white, white, pink, green, and ect. Where the paths weren't would be grass.
They plan to have a well somewhere in the middle close to the big pond. The well would be made of pink and white brick and the little roof of it would be made of chestnut brown smooth wood. The well would have a few little cute pink and white buckets to draw water from the well from (don't know why they would do that. Probley just for fun).
The pond would hold gold, white, black, and red guppies and goldfish. The pond would be surrounded by huge rocks and a few garden lights (you know one of those light that are about 8 inches from the ground and they are supposed to light path but who cares, I'm putting then with the pond AND the pebble pathways. The way imagine it everything looks so...cute. But I'm imagining it at night with a full moon. Think of that. The whole garden would look like something that was not real and only be in a dream. Oh yeah and also pretend that the petals of the cherry blossom tress are also falling slowly. So fairy like). You can also cross the pond on a bridge (the Chinese stone style kind sortta like one of then in CCS and the first movie of CCS but most like the one in the beginning of Mulan) (the bridge was sideways, from west to east).
When they were finally finished with the plan and Tomoyo went home Sakura showed the plan to her father. Her father was quite pleased with the planning. The garden was to be finished in about 4 months (In real life it would take WAY much longer but hey this is MY story) (gosh this chapter is already.. what? 14 PAGES!!! Sorry people but I'm going to have to stop).

The FULL Summary: When Syaoran Li was 19 he took over the Li companies. He shortly later married Cindy Letterman a 18 year old woman still in collage. He had his daughter Haruha (hah-roo-nah)Ann Li when he was 20. His wife, Cindy, died shortly after the birth of her daughter, Haruha.
Now Syaoran is 25 and still working at the Li companies. He plays with his daughter, Haruha, as much as possible but can't find time to take care of her fully. When he tries to give his daughter a good baby-sitter, Haruha doesn't accept the baby-sitters and complains about them every living second to Syaoran when he's home. The baby-sitters only last about a few days before they are fired by Syaoran in the request of Haruha.
What happens when Sakura, a 22 year old collage student is looking for a summer job and happens to find an, flyer for baby-sitting Haruha, in a very expensive clothes store? Does Sakura know what's in store for her?

At The 'Asian Rose Complexion' Store
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura's POV (it means point of view for all u people who doesn't know what it means)
I had no clue now Tomoyo dragged my into this store. The 'Asian Rose Complexion' was the most expensive and the most elegant store in the whole mall. When I say expensive I mean expensive. The last time I went there with Tomoyo I saw a really cute hot-pink tank-top with different sized light pink and white cherry blossoms that lined the waist. I tried it on. It looked really cute, but then when I saw the price-tag I put it back on the racks and dragged Tomoyo out the door. The pice-tag clearly read $24.99. I mean you could buy a cute pair of shorts with that money. And no it all went to just that one tank-top.
I got that same tank-top from that store for my birthday from Tomoyo along with other clothes that were from 'Asian Rose Complexion' for my birthday this year. Now Tomoyo was dragging me there again. I had other things to do other than wandering around that store, as in looking for a summer job to make more cash. So I of course refused to go but Tomoyo broke down in tears saying that she didn't want to go into the store alone. I, of course being the good friend I am, had to go with Tomoyo to make her stop crying. Now here I am looking though a rack of shorts with pice-tag clearly priced $49.99 - $119.99.
Just then Tomoyo grabbed the pair of shorts I was starring at for a long time. The price read $59.99. I was debating how long I would have to save to buy those pair of shorts with my allowance. She dragged me to the cashier counter. I was begging my head off to Tomoyo not to spend her money on me. Of course she didn't do anything so giving up I just let her buy it for me.
When we got to the counter I saw something that caught me eye. A flyer saying...

I grabbed a flyer before heading out of the store with Tomoyo to the food court.

Food Court With Sakura and Tomoyo
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
"Tomoyo what do you think about this as a summer job?" Sakura handed Tomoyo the flyer she had grabbed from the 'Asian Rose Complexion' before she and Tomoyo had headed out the store.
"I think it's a great job for you! You like to be around kids so a baby-sitter will be great. And also talk about a great pay! You don't have to work on Wednesdays or Saturdays!" exclaimed Tomoyo.
"You have a good point. I'll call later and see if the job is still available."
"You are so lucky to have found that. Now you can spend more time with me instead of looking for summer jobs."
*sakura sweat drops while Tomoyo is still grinning*

3 Days Later (Monday Tomoyo and Sakura were shopping on Friday so it's Monday)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura's POV
I had called the number on the paper. The person on the other line was called Syaoran Li. He sounded somewhat relieved when I called saying that I will be the baby-sitter of Haruha, but only for the summer.
Now I'm on the way to the Li residence. I dressed in the hot-pink tank-top from 'Asian Rose Complexion'. The same one I was looking at the first time I went to that store. You know the one with the pink and white cherry blossoms running across the waist. I was also wearing a dark blue pair of shorts with a white and pink cherry blossom on the bottom right of the right leg of the shorts, also from the 'ARC' (I'm going to call the 'Asian Rose Complexion' that from now on). I looked pretty good saying that I had to make a good impression on the child and the parent on my first day. I had found out that Haruha's mother had died after giving birth to Haruha.
I put my honey light brown hair up in two low pigtails. Having my hair grown 8 inches past my shoulders the low pigtails now no-longer looked childish.
So I started to walk toward the house in which I will be baby-sitting 5 year old Haruha.
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
In Front of The Li Residence
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes!!! I thought that the Li Residence would be a 3 story very elegant house but instead I now stood in-front of the gates of a 6 story MANSION! The house was very elegant and looked like it had several gardens and many ladies in waiting. I just wonder why Mr. Li needed my help for it seemed quite reasonable that the maids could have taken care of Haruha themselves.
So I proceeded to ring the doorbell...
Normal POV
Sakura with a shaking hand rang the doorbell of the huge Li Mansion. A voice suddenly sounded in the little intercom.
"Welcome to the Li Residence. How may I help you today?" said the voice.
"I'm here for the baby-sitting job. I'm supposed to baby-sit Haruha Ann Li today," replied Sakura rather surprising with a clam voice.
"Yes, you will see Mr. Li Syaoran and Miss. Li Haruha at the main lounge. A maid will lead you there from the front door. Have a nice day."
The gates opened wide and Sakura proceeded to walk across the long driveway.
A maid met Sakura at the door and proceeded to lead her to the main lounge. When Sakura entered the door she saw a man at least the age of 25 with messy chocolate brown hair and amber eyes dressed in a business suit. Beside him stood a little cute girl who was no other than Haruha Ann Li. She was dressed in a little yellow dress with a white ribbon tied across the waist. She had chocolate brown hair like the man that stood beside her but with light cheerful light blue eyes. She stared at Sakura with a no expression face...
Haruha's POV
My new baby-sitter seemed nice. I saw her wearing some clothes that I saw at the 'ARC' when daddy took me to the 'ARC' to shop for the dress I was wearing now. She looked pretty. Almost like my mother in the pictures, but mother had shoulder length hair, they were the same color but her hair was longer. Mom had blue eyes but she had emerald. I have to say that her eyes were prettier than mommy's but yet again I never knew my mommy in real life so I don't really know.
I knew that she wouldn't be one of those other annoying baby-sitters that were only there for the money and not the job. They sat there all day starring at the TV telling me to play with my dolls, get with homework, go to lessons, and play with my dolls again. But I could tell that my new baby-sitter was different. She looked like she was actually there for the job and not the money. I think she might actually play with me instead of facing the TV every living second of the day. I decided to show no expressions until I actually knew her.
Syaoran POV
I swore I was starring at Cindy herself. She was almost exactly like her except for her hair which was a little longer than Cindy's and she had emerald eyes instead of light blue. I swore I was actually looking at Cindy instead of the baby-sitter. This was going to be fun to see how Haruha likes her. This girl named Sakura, who was only here interested in a Summer Job.
Normal POV
Syaoran stepped up to Sakura.
"Hi, I'm Syaoran Li and this is Haruha Li right beside me. My daughter," said Syaoran.
"Very nice to meet you Syaoran and Haruha. You probley already know this but I'm Sakura Kinomoto," said Sakura. "I'll be looking forward to looking after Haruha." Sakura gave Haruha one of her rare smiles that say were-going-to-have-fun-together. Haruha couldn't help but smile at Sakura.
"I have to get going or else I'll miss the business meeting. I hope you have a good time with Haruha," Syaoran nodded at Sakura and turned to Haruha and kissed her on the cheek. Haruha returned the kiss and smiled at her dad.
"Good bye Daddy!!!" said Haruha.
"Good bye sweetheart. See you tonight," replied Syaoran as he left the room to his limo that was waiting outside.
"What do you say Haruha. Maybe you can show me around your house?" asked Sakura.
"Sure!" said Haruha with a huge smile. She couldn't wait to take Sakura to her room and her favorite garden. (A/N: This is not the end of it even though I would like to end it but I'm bored so I'll write more.)

Sakura and Haruha
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
Haruha had shown Sakura all the rooms that she needed to know about so she wouldn't get lost. Haruha lastly lead her to the guest room.
The guest room was a beautiful pale pink. The room wallpaper had different sizes of a darker pink and white cherry blossoms. It had a beautiful oak closet and a full length mirror near the balcony. The balcony was in a half circle. It was of white marble. They went inside to Sakura's bathroom which connected to the guest room. The huge square bathtub was made with a special kind of white and pink swirled marble. So was the toilet and sink. The countertop was made with a darker pink and white swirled marble. The whole guest room was theme pink and white.
Haruha lastly showed Sakura her room. Haruha's room was right next to Sakura's guest room.
Haruha's room's wallpaper was a light cloud blue with different sizes of white and yellow stars all over the light cloud blue background. Haruha also had a connected bathroom except that the huge square bath tub was a light blue swirled a midnight blue marble as the same with the toilet and the sink. The countertop was of a midnight blue and white swirled marble. Haruha's balcony was also a half circle made of light cloud blue marble. Haruha's room was decorated with blue and white. That was clearly Haruha's favorite color.
"Your favorite color is blue right?" asked Sakura.
"Yes, it is. Like my eyes!" said Haruha's with a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Your room is very pretty. I love it," said Sakura smiling back at Haruha.
"Thank You! You want to go to the garden next? I'll show you my favorite garden made by daddy just for me!"
"Sure. I would love to see it!"
Haruha led Sakura out into the back yard and into a maze which Haruha passed with ease. They entered a beautiful clearing with Sakura Trees and Flowers. The Sakura Trees were somehow made to grow light blue and dark blue Sakura Blossoms instead of pink of white ones. There were also a few trees of white Sakura Blossoms. Sakura stared at awe at the scene before her. There were also flower beds of many different kinds or blue flowers. In the center was a pond with huge black, white, gold, and red goldfish, and near it was a midnight blue, light blue, and white swirled marble bench. The whole place was beautiful. Where the paths weren't grew grass as to have picnic on if you wanted to.
Sakura and Haruha spent the rest of the time after lunch chasing each other under the falling blue Sakura Blossoms. When they were tired they laid on the grass and looked at the clouds. Then when they were rested they chased each other once again and it just went on and on like that until Haruha fell asleep tired from all the playing. Sakura took Haruha back to her room.
Haruha and Sakura had a very nice dinner and sat on the couch together watching Disney movies together until Syaoran came home.
Syaoran POV
I came home to hear a bunch of laughs coming from the main living room. I went in to see Sakura and Haruha amusing themselves with watching Cinderella. It was the part where the mice when to get materials for Cinderella's dress for the ball but woke the cat up and the mice was trying to run away from the cat with the materials.
I looked up at the clock. It was 8:00 p.m. I had stayed 1 hour longer than usual. I saw a bunch of Disney video's on the table top. Most were open and still had tapes in them. I thought that they must have finished watching those. They had so far been though Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and now Cinderella (A/N: I know that in real life you wont be able to watch those all from 6:30 - 8:00 but please just go along with me cuz this is MY Fan-Fic). That finishes off all the Disney princess series. Haruha was for once enjoying herself to much to notice me there.
I didn't want to interrupt them but I wanted a kiss from my daughter so I had to.
Normal POV
"Haruha, I see you are enjoying yourself?" asked Syaoran with one of his rare smiles.
"DADDY!!!" yelled Haruha as she ran into Syaoran's arms and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Yes, I am daddy! You won't believe what Sakura and I did today!!! I showed her around the house and then I took her to my secret garden and we chased each other and watched the clouds together also!!! Then after dinner we sat down and watched movies!!! My favorite princess movies!!!"
"That's great Haruha. Can you please tell the maids to get my dinner ready?" asked Syaoran.
"Ok daddy!" said Haruha said Haruha as she ran to tell the kitchen maids to get her dad's dinner ready.
"I will leave now that you are back and after I say good-bye to Haruha," said Sakura.
"Sure," replied Syaoran
Haruha ran into the room and smiled at Sakura.
"I have to go now Haruha. I'll see you tomorrow ok?" said Sakura with a smile.
"Ok!!!" said Haruha as she turned toward her dad. "Daddy can I go shopping with Sakura tomorrow? I'll be good. I also promise to be back by 4:00! Please?"
"That's fine," replied Syaoran.
"Yeah!!! Well, go shopping tomorrow! See you tomorrow Sakura!" said Haruha.
"Bye Haruha. Good night," said Sakura.
"Bye!!!" said Haruha with a very huge smile.
Sakura left though the door and went home.

*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
Syaoran was sitting reading a newspaper on the couch after he just ate dinner. Haruha suddenly ran into the room.
"Can I talk to you daddy?" asked Haruha.
"Of course you can," replied Syaoran.
"Can we take Sakura with us to the Summer Ball at the 4 Seasons Hotel next month?"
"We can't invite anyone with us. You know that. They have to get an invitation in order to go. That ball is very high classed. I would like to but I can't. Sorry Haruha,"
"Can I also ask you something else to?"
"Yes, you can. What is it?"
"Doesn't you think that Sakura looks a lot like mommy?"
"You must have been looking though the photo albums I have you huh?"
"Yes, I have. I want to know doesn't she look a lot like mommy?"
"Yes, she does."
"Did mommy like Sakura Blossoms?"
"Yes, She did."
"That's nice. I like Sakura Blossoms too. Like mommy. Sakura also like Sakura Blossoms. She told me so. My favorite color is blue and Sakura's favorite color is pink. Mommy also likes pink. You told me so. Right?"
"Right."
They went on and on and on and on comparing Sakura and Haruha with Cindy (Haruha's mom) until Haruha finally fell asleep.

The Next Day Shopping With Sakura and Haruha
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
Sakura took Haruha into 'Gap Kids'. Syaoran had given Sakura a credit card this morning to put all the shopping expenses on. Syaoran had told Sakura that Haruha would be attending a ball the next month so she needed an elegant dress as long with some summer dresses.
Sakura took Haruha into the dress section. She took out a light blue spegetite strapped summer dress. It had a dark blue ribbon that went all around the waist and the dress reached just a little below the knees. Sakura also took out a forest green dress that went with a summer long scarf. Haruha loved them and so they purchased the summer dresses.
Sakura then took Haruha to 'Limted Too' and got a small jar of light blue glittery nail polish as long with hair glitter and light blue eyeshadow all for fun. Then Sakura and Haruha decided to buy the dark blue ankle bracelet which had little light blue and dark blue Sakura flower beads.
Sakura and Haruha decided to get some food for lunch so they went and got pizza in the food court (sorry not for mentioning this before but they are in a mall).
Lastly Sakura took Haruha to the 'ARC'. She brought Haruha to the Ball Wear Section for Kids. First Haruha tried on a light green gown with sleeves that were under she shoulders. Sakura didn't really like the color so they got the forrest green one but with the same style. That didn't work well either. After trying on LOADS of dresses they finally found one.
That one was a deep midnight blue. It had very tin straps. The waist had a see-though ribbon with small designs of white starts. The gown was of a heavy silk and had 8 layers of cloth starting down from the waist so the gown was slowly branching out in a form of a bell but not quite as much like a bell. The gown reached to the floor and hid Haruha's shoes. That one looked perfect on Haruha's little figure so they brought that. That dress alone cost $299.99.
They looked for shoes and came upon some midnight blue with mimi high-heals. It looked exactly like the color of the dress so they brought that for $89.99. They went to look at the mimi jewelry and decided to look though what Haruha had a home first and if they found non then they would ask Syaoran's permission first before buying any real jewelry.
With that they finished their shopping and headed back home to watch the new DVD that they also brought. 'Cinderella 2' and 'The Little Mermaid 2'.

Normal POV
"HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Sakura as she checked her mail.
"What is it kauji (is that how u spell it?) Your waking the whole neighborhood," asked Touya.
"Read this," said Sakura as she shoved the letter under Touya's nose.
It said:
Dear Sakura Kinomoto:
Thank You for your registration at the 'Asian Rose Complexion'! You will be noticed when there are special balls hosted or special events or garden parties. You are going to be one of the lucky few who know and are invited to it. You will also be offered special offers. Thank You for your time once again. Here is the following message we would like to say:
Dear Sakura Kinomoto:
You are hear-by invited to the Summer Ball at the 4 Season Hotel on July 12th, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. Dinner will be served there also. Please show this invitation at the front doors to be able to gain access to the ball. YOU are the one invited. Please do not invite someone with you. This innovation only admits one person.
Dress Formal. Have a nice day and we hope you do come.
-4 Seasons Hotel Manager and Ball Arrangement Manager
"Gosh Sakura. Why did you get such high classed mail invitations," asked Touya as Sakura grabbed the invitation back.
"No time for talk. I need to go see Tomoyo about this. I know there is something up with this and it's related with Tomoyo. See you later Touya and tell dad I'm over at Tomoyo's!" yelled Sakura as she rushed out the door already dressed (don't ask how, I think she was already dressed before she opened the letter).

With Tomoyo and Sakura at Tomoyo's House
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Sakura's POV
Oh how I was going to kill. I can't BELIEVE THAT TOMOYO SIGNED ME UP FOR AN 'ARC' MEMBERSHIP WITHOUT TELLING ME!!! I'LL LOOK LIKE A FREAK IF I DON'T ATTEND THEM!!! IT'LL DISGRACE MY FAMILY NAME!!! NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO EVERYONE OF THOSE STUPID BALLS AND GARDEN PARTIES AND ART FESTIVALS AND WHATEVER!!! Tomoyo DOESN'T know what she got us into.
Normal POV
Sakura arrived at Tomoyo's Mansion which was a 4 story mansion and it was HUGE!!! You could at least fit about 100 little tiny apartment rooms in just one story. It also had a total of 40 ponds, 100 fountains, 200 statues, and 80 gardens and 1 underground basketball court for cheerleading practice.
The mansion was painted a light lavender with white trimmings and borders.
Sakura, who was VERY (and I emphasize that by 1,000) mad, stomped up Tomoyo's driveway and rang the doorbell and demanded to see Tomoyo.
Tomoyo's POV
When Sakura walked into the room I saw the evil in her eyes. I did NOT know what was going on. I was just making appointments for Sakura and I at the hair parlor and beauty parlor. I got an invitation to the Summer Ball at the 4 seasons hotel from 'ARC'. It was one of the member benefits to be told if any rare parties are going on then we would be told and invited to it. So I decided to sign her up. I thought that she would be happy but she looks like she's going to kill. And I have an idea that it's me she might kill.
Normal POV
"TOMOYO!!! YOU BETTER EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON!!!" yelled Sakura looking VERY red at the moment. You just might be unlucky to cross her path.
"Um... I signed you up for the 'ARC' membership. I thought that you would like it. It also included in store discounts!!! I thought that you would be happy. But your not. Ne?" asked Tomoyo with an innocent face.
"NO!!! I'm not HAPPY!!! If I don't go I'll look like a fool!!!" yelled Sakura back.
"I never thought of that. Anyway. I just made some appointments for us. Knowing that we wouldn't get out of the situation. So yeah. We're going and I'M doing your hair and make-up. YOUR GOING!!!"
"I WILL NOT!!! YOU BETTER GET ME OUT OF THIS!!!"
"I got an invitation months ago. I'm going to be one of the guests of honor because of my mom's work. I NEED SOMEONE TO COME WITH ME!!! I DON'T WHAT TO BE ALL ALONE!!!" wailed Tomoyo as she put on her best puppy dog face and looked like she was about to cry.
"NO TOMOYO!!!"
Tomoyo started to cry and wail. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!! I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND!!! YOU WON'T EVEN COME TO A LITTLE SUMMER BALL WITH ME!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!"
"Tomoyo. STOP CRYING!!! OK? I'll go!!! Just DON'T cry!!!"
Tomoyo stopped crying and looked at Sakura with her biggest smile. "OK!!! Yeah!!! I have made appointments at the hair parlor at the mall and also the beauty parlor. 4:00 p.m. at the hair parlor. Meet me there the day of the ball. DON'T FORGET OR I'LL KICK YOUR BUTT!!!"
"Ok, ok, Tomoyo. Fine. BUT I DON'T EVEN HAVE A DRESS!!!" Sakura regretted saying that. I mean really regretted it.
"Ok then!!! Let's go shopping!!! Next Wednesday!!! Be here!!!"
Blah blah blah. Sakura ate breakfast at Tomoyo's house and then they went to the park and then out for lunch and then went bowling, swimming, and then lastly biking and then they both went back home for rest, dinner, sleep and so on and so forth.
(I don't want to stop there either so I'll just keep writing!!! This is going to be my record of 100 pages!!! Just Kidding. I just want to write more because I'm bored to DEATH!)

That Sunday (Sakura Doesn't Have To Baby-sit Haruha)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
There were shouts of joy from the Kinomoto house and though the windows you can see Touya and Aiden (Sakura's father) drinking Champaign and Sakura drinking apple cider. Let's take a closer look shall we?
"OH MY GOSH DAD!!! WERE RICH!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!" yelled Touya (rich is it? Hum...what's going on?)
"This is the luckiest day of our lives!!! First thing we should do is go buy A LOT of Sakura flowers for your mother and thank her for the luck, for watching over us, and also hoping that she still watches over us. Then we go to the temple and thank the gods. Then I think we should get a new house," Aiden.
"That sounds great. Cheers to father for our new fortune and luck," said Sakura. They clanged their glasses together and drank. "But you still haven't told us how you got the money though."
"Well, Let's just say that my shares of the stock market made a HUGE raise and will stay there for a while. I'm thinking of selling my company and then buy a modeling company, for your Mom this time (Sakura's mother was a model, don't forget that)," finished Aiden.
"That's great!" said Touya.
It just went on and on and on that night until midnight when suddenly everyone fell asleep from being to tired.

The Next Day
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
Normal POV
Sakura went to baby-sit Haruha. This time they got permission from Haruha's dad to go and buy some jewelry.
They went to 'ARC' and got some that matcher perfectly with Haruha's dress and shoes. They got a necklace the had a dyed blue crystal in a shape of a small rose with smaller roses around that one. It was on a small chain made of white gold (it's white gold not silver, silver is different from white gold). Then they got a matching tiara. It had dyed blue roses in places and were surrounded by little diamonds. It's base was made of white gold also.
After the day was over they went back to Haruha's house and watched Mulan (that movie is SOO....... good. Mulan reminds me of myself sortta. It sets a very good view of Asians mostly China. That's where I'm from. I'm Chinese/Japanese but mostly Chinese).
When Sakura went home they found out that her dad had already sold his company and brought a modeling company. She also found out that company is going to start in 2 months. Just enough to buy accessories, decorate, hire workers and models, and choose a goal. She also found out that, that Wednesday they were going to look for a new house. (A/N: Gosh. This chapter is 12 pages already!!! I've been writing for so...long. hey!!! I think I can Finnish this whole story in one chapter!!! Hehe. That'll be fun. The longest story in one chapter in the whole of fanficton.net. hehe. Should I?)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
That Wednesday (no baby-sitting for Sakura)
*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~*~:~*:~
They have received a letter saying that the whole of the Kinomoto family was invited to the 'Summer Ball at the 4 Season Hotel on July 12th, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. as special guest of the Ball'. Sakura got the same letter about a week ago but this time she was to go as the special guest. Of course Tomoyo found out and Tomoyo rambled and rambled about how she's going to make Sakura look so pretty that she'll be able to knock the boys at the ball off their feet.
By the end of the day they had found a mansion like Tomoyo's. It was 4 stores (like Tomoyo's) it was white with dark blue trimmings and borders around the roof, windows, doors, ect. They had also hired a few cooks, maids, drivers, and had brought 3 limo's (one of each member of the family just in-case they had to go in different directions all at once). They had brought a whole new furniture set.
Sakura got a HUGE room. It could fit 2 whole luxury hotel suites. The room was plain white with wood floors a first but they redid all that.
It now had a cute light pink wallpaper with Sakura flowers and stars (all sizes). Near the door all the way until it started getting close to the bed and wardrobe, it was a pretty polished light wood-board floor. That whole section (which was big) had a big TV with a glass table which held a setting of flowers and provided a place where you could do your homework.
The part where it wasn't covered in wood was placed with a pink and white swirled carpet. The bed was the one was a canopy and where you could pull the see-though curtains around the bed. The see-though curtains were a light pink and the sheets, pillows, and blankets were of different shades of pink. All had a designed of Sakura flowers.
There was a HUGE half circle marble balcony. The marble was a color changing kind. In the moonlight it was white but in the day under the sunlight it would turn pink. There Sakura put different kinds of pink flower plants between the jade plants (you know those Chinese bushes with the smooth waxy leaves) so it went pink flowers, jade plant, pink flowers, jade plant, and ect. It also had a little round table with one of those high umbrella's with cute (it was also pink as you should have guessed if not then your nuts. You know Sakura likes pink) little pink metal seats in which you can in on sunny days and sip tea or coffee of whatever you like.
Sakura also had a connecting bathroom from her room. The huge pink square tub/hot-tub was made of marble that was colored a light pink, hot pink, and white swirled together. That was also the same with the toilet, shower (that bathroom also had a shower), and sink. The bathroom counter was of a hot-pink and white swirled marble. The floor of the bathroom had a cute pattern of pink and white tile. The bathroom had small light high wall flowerboxes and in those were fake vines with green leaves that went all around the bathroom walls. The bathroom also had torch lights and main light on the ceiling.
That day Tomoyo and Sakura were looking around Sakura's room which Tomoyo approved of VERY much. Tomoyo and Sakura, for the rest of they day were making plans of a new garden that would be planted and built. Aiden had given one of the spaces to Sakura to plant whichever she liked.
So far they were looking into a huge metal gate that would lead into the garden. A brick wall will surround the front. Vines will grow onto the walls and in-front of the gates (or more like next to them) would be placed 2 beautiful statues of angels. When you enter you will be looking upon rows and rows of rose hedges. You will travel from the red roses, to white roses, to pink roses, then yellow, and lastly specially dyed blue roses. After that you will come to a huge black marble slant the is standing upright from one end (sideways)of the garden to the other. Water would be running down the marble sides (like one of those fountains I saw at the rose garden). Right in the middle would be a 200 feet space where you can walk though (so the marble fountain looks like 2 sperate ones, in which they are, lolz ^-^'). Then you will be entering the main part of the garden.
Beyond the roses and the marble fountains would be pebble pathways leading from one flowered to another. And at some places around the pebble pathways would be little path lights (the same ones I will describe on the pond).
The flowerbeds would hold flowers that were pink and white. Behind the flower beds would be Sakura trees. The trees would go in color arrangement. It would go, white, pink, green (color dyed special), green, pink, white, white, pink, green, and ect. Where the paths weren't would be grass.
They plan to have a well somewhere in the middle close to the big pond. The well would be made of pink and white brick and the little roof of it would be made of chestnut brown smooth wood. The well would have a few little cute pink and white buckets to draw water from the well from (don't know why they would do that. Probley just for fun).
The pond would hold gold, white, black, and red guppies and goldfish. The pond would be surrounded by huge rocks and a few garden lights (you know one of those light that are about 8 inches from the ground and they are supposed to light path but who cares, I'm putting then with the pond AND the pebble pathways. The way imagine it everything looks so...cute. But I'm imagining it at night with a full moon. Think of that. The whole garden would look like something that was not real and only be in a dream. Oh yeah and also pretend that the petals of the cherry blossom tress are also falling slowly. So fairy like). You can also cross the pond on a bridge (the Chinese stone style kind sortta like one of then in CCS and the first movie of CCS but most like the one in the beginning of Mulan) (the bridge was sideways, from west to east).
When they were finally finished with the plan and Tomoyo went home Sakura showed the plan to her father. Her father was quite pleased with the planning. The garden was to be finished in about 4 months (In real life it would take WAY much longer but hey this is MY story) (gosh this chapter is already.. what? 14 PAGES!!! Sorry people but I'm going to have to stop).
