The Video

" Syaaaaaaaaaooooooran!!!!"

Syaoran winced. Couldn't she leave him alone for ONE second??

Sakura came leaping down the stairs , three steps at a time and jumped beside him , grabbing his hand and looking up at him pleadingly.

" Syaoran , the video shoot is today!!"

Syaoran rolled his eyes. " No , really!"

Sakura blinked at him and then shook her head. She let go of his hand and started to pace in front of him , her hands clasped behind her.

" So , you'll be going , right? And you will be taking Tomoyo's car , right?"

Syaoran's eyes narrowed. " Yes...."

Sakura whirled around and poked him in his chest , making him stumble back. " You'll be taking me."

Syaoran stared at her and then let out a snort. " What? I'll be taking you? No way!"

Sakura went down on her knees. " Please? I need you to take me somewhere important before we go to the video shoot...please?"

Syaoran smirked as she folded her hands together in a begging position. " I don't have to take you ANYWHERE! You get your own ride! You can borrow one of Sonomi's cars..."

Sakura gulped. " That's the thing.."

Syaoran's eyebrows rose. " Huh?"

Sakura laughed , nervously. " I...uh don't know how to drive...."

Syaoran stared at her. " You? Don't know how to drive?"

Sakura glared at him. " I tried for my G1 but I never passed..."

Syaoran tried not to laugh. " How many times did you try?"

Sakura shrugged , indifferently. " A couple of....times."

Syaoran was now struggling to keep from laughing. " How many?"

Sakura glared. " Only about three.....tens....and five...ones..."

Syaoran eyes widened. " YOU FAILED THIRTY FIVE TIMES???"


Sakura groaned. " Not that loud..."

Syaoran however did not hear this plea. " HAHA! You didn't pass! Thirty five? HAHA! Not even my friend failed that many times!"

Sakura growled low in her throat and Syaoran coughed. " Right then. Fine you can come along , as long as you shut up."

Sakura smiled , happily. " Yea!"

Syaoran groaned as she ran off to the door, but instead , ran right into the glass door. Syaoran broke into loud laughter as Sakura picked herself up , her face red with embarrassment.

" Lets go , then , shall we?"

~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~

Tomoyo and Sonomi were almost done organizing the video shoot. There were tents everywhere for the make up and costume people , and everything was almost done. The model's variety of clothes were laid out and the video camera crew were ready after a few pointers from Tomoyo.

" Are they here , yet?" Sonomi sighed.

Tomoyo smiled. " They're coming , just wait!"

A car engine soon interrupted their conversation and Tomoyo jumped up , excitedly. They were here! As the sleek blue sports car revved up to the camp site , the two walked out of the car , glaring at each other from the corner of their eyes.

" Ready, mother?" Tomoyo asked , mischievously.

" Ready!" Sonomi said , her tone equalling Tomoyo's.

They started to pace around each other , as Sakura and Syaoran neared them , at certain times , emitting a groan or two.

Sakura ran up to them . " What's wrong?"

Tomoyo cried out , " Sakura! Your here!"

She quickly ran to Sakura and grabbed her hands desperately. " Something terrible has happened!"

Sakura's face grew worried as Syaoran came up to them as well. " What?"

Tomoyo paced one more time , her hands on her heads in mock frustration and helplessness. " The models...they cancelled! They can't be here! One of them has a soap opera , one of them is busy , we can't do anything!"

Sonomi walked up to them , her face in a grimace. " Sorry , kids. We're going to have to cancel the video shoot...I don't think we can do this , ever!"

Sakura cried out , " Why? Why not? Are there not replacements?"

Sonomi shrugged , helplessly. " There are no one who fit the role....we need a boy and a girl in their teenage years...."

Sakura's shoulders slumped. " Great. Just great. Maybe we can call Chiharu and Yamazaki..."

Tomoyo quickly butted in , " No! We've tried that , none of them can come!"

Sakura whined , " This can't happen? Who else are there?"

Sonomi pretended to think " I think.....I think I have the two perfect people!"

Sakura asked , excitedly , " Who? Who? I'll call them right now!"

Sonomi smiled. " They're right here!" With that she pointed at Sakura and Syaoran , who jumped in surprise.

" WHAAAAAT????"

Sonomi nodded and Sakura and Syaoran stared in horror at each other.

" I won't do anything with HIM!"

" I won't do anything with HER!"

Tomoyo pleaded , " Please , you guys! We need you! For me , Sakura?"

Sakura groaned , and stamped her foot. " FINE! I will...."

Syaoran just shook his head and Tomoyo and Sakura looked at each other. Double Team...

" Syaoran...." they whined , sidling up to him. Syaoran looked at both of them in horror and then cried out , " Alright , Alright! I'll do it!"

Tomoyo and Sakura jumped excitedly.

" Lets get this video on the roll!"

~~~~~~~~****~~~~

" Tomoyo-I-Have-Never-Worn-This-Much-Make-Up-In-My-Life!" Sakura mumbled through gritted teeth.

Tomoyo groaned. " I only put some eyeliner , eye shadow , lipstick , lip gloss , lip liner , blush and foundation. Nothing big."

Sakura glared at her. " Really. I don't think I've ever worn foundation in my life!"

Tomoyo just rolled her eyes and clapped her hands. " Alright , people. You know your lines. Get ready!"

Sakura groaned and picked herself off the chair and went outside the tent , positioning herself on the hill where it was the best view of the mountains and river.

Syaoran also dragged himself over and Sakura's eyebrows shot up into her forehead. Wow. Syaoran was wearing black jeans and a tight black shirt with a white button up over it.

Very fashionable.

That means Syaoran was probably physically forced into those clothes.

Sakura snickered quite loudly and Syaoran glared at her.

" It's not like I want to do this , Kinomoto! I'm a photographer! Not a model!" Syaoran growled , his face flushing.

Sakura laughed , loud. "You are now Tomoyo's model. And if I know her , you'll be through more...cough....revealing clothes later on..."

She could not help but burst out with more bouts of giggles at Syaoran's expression. He looked absolutely livid....but that was quite small compared to the fear that covered his face.

" Alright , kids , get together! Start the music on the third count , alright! One , two , three!"

The camera whirled on them , and the music started.

Sakura leapt up , spreading her arms out wide. " We're two people-" she started , but Tomoyo interrupted her.

" CUT!"

Sakura grew dot eyes. " What , what? Did I do something wrong?"

Tomoyo clapped a hand to her forehead. " Well , there is only one person now , isn't there!"

Sakura bunched her eyebrows together in confusion and turned towards Syaoran. Surprise , surprise , Syaoran was smack on his back on the grass , looking knocked out. Sakura let out a yelp.

" Who hit him??" Sakura demanded.

Tomoyo snickered. " You!"

Sakura sweat dropped. " Hehehe..."

After Syaoran was revived , the music started again , this time with Syaoran standing as far away from Sakura as possible.

" One , Two , Three , Go!" Tomoyo yelled , and the camera rolled again. Syaoran got up and started to sing.

" We're two people , here all by ourselves. Wishing for a- "

" CUT!"

" What , what's wrong now??" Syaoran growled , nearly out of his mind with frustration.

Tomoyo groaned. " Your singing the FEMALE PART!"

Syaoran heard the music and sagged a bit. It was a girl singing and there , smirking at him was Sakura. " Haha!" Sakura said , laughing. " I'm not the only one who makes mistakes!"

Syaoran glared back at her and Tomoyo rolled her eyes. Tomoyo looked back desperately at her mother , and Sonomi just tapped her watch and pointed her finger at the script. Tomoyo nodded , understanding.

" Alright , peeps! We'll be going on to the next scene , the dancing one. Everyone in your places! Sakura , remember , run into Syaoran's arms." Tomoyo wiggled her eyebrows at her and Sakura flushed. But not as badly as Syaoran was. He now looked ready to strangle Tomoyo.

The music started once more and Tomoyo yelled , " One , Two , Three , Go!"

Sakura put on a happy face and yelled , " I'm coming!" She ran towards Syaoran who reluctantly put his hands out to receive her.

Unfortunately , Sakura was running a bit too fast and Syaoran's face turned to one of horror as Sakura leapt on him and he fell back from the force and they both went tumbling.

" CUT!" Tomoyo yelled , her voice weary. " How about you two take a break! We'll be back on set in five minutes!"

Sakura looked at Tomoyo's tired face and felt tears rising to her eyes. She was the reason for this , all because Sakura couldn't model for beans.

She felt a tear flow down her cheek and she flounced off to a bench far off from the rest of the set. She saw at once that Syaoran was already sitting there and she groaned.

Syaoran looked up and saw Sakura. He groaned as well. " Can't you leave me alone for a minute?" Syaoran asked , his eyes narrowing.

Sakura just let out another tear and she collapsed on the bench. " T-Tomoyo's going to hate me n-now..."

Syaoran grew dot eyed. Ooookay.

" Uh....why are you ....uh...crying?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura let out another bout of tears. " I'm so lousy at this and Tomoyo needs me to model for her. I'm ruining it all! Why am I so bad at this?? I swear , I've got two left feet , I can't dance and I'm bad at modeling and I look outrageous in these clothing that the other model would have looked gorgeous in....Tomoyo's probably tired of me now."

Syaoran felt a little bit of pity for the girl. Only a miniscule trickle of pity. Not more than that.

" Look , Sakura , all of us have our faults. I mean , just because you may be a little bad at catching on to this , you will. You'll learn to do this better than any model can."

Sakura stopped crying and looked at Syaoran , wide eyed. " You mean , you have faults too??"

Syaoran's eyes narrowed. " Very little , not many. My faults are very microscopic they practically don't exist..."

Sakura crossed her arms. " You know , now that you mention it , your hair is a bit too long."

Syaoran drew back and touched his hair gently. " Huh?"

" And you have a very pointy chin. You have a long nose...and you look like your thirty but now your okay , cause you wearing teenager clothes."

" Look , Kinomoto , that may be going a bit too far...." Syaoran yelled.

Sakura giggled. " And your eyes-"

Syaoran burst out , " What? Are they too bulgy , small , large , what?"

Sakura giggled again. " Your eyes are absolutely perfect."

Syaoran opened his mouth to retort and then took a minute to think about it. Sakura giggled again and Syaoran let out a hint of a smile.

Kinomoto may not be so bad after all....

~~~~~~****~~~~~

Eriol paced back and forth in the Li Parlour , trying to rid his mind of all his straggling thoughts.

He was no longer going to be a bachelor.

Oh , the horror!

Eriol groaned. How did he get himself into this mess again? Oh yeah , with that girl....that girl who totally ratted him out! She was sure going to getting a present in her dinner tonight!

Oh yeah. He can't use magic anymore.

Grr....

Eriol paced the room once more before he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. He stopped abrubtly and smiled as Nadeshiko made her way down the stairs.

" Nadeshiko , I was thinking. I'm only nineteen , why would I need a wife? I'm planning to get married at twenty seven , or so. That's like-" Eriol took a moment to count on his fingers and then sad , " eight years from now!"

Nadeshiko smiled kindly. " You won't get married now! The girl Xiolang has found is only seventeen. You'll be engaged until she has completed school and is ready to marry you."

Eriol's shoulders sagged. " Does that mean....I can't go out...with other girls?"

Nadeshiko nodded , solemnly. " Yes , Eriol. That's what it means."

Eriol groaned and stamped his feet. " Great. Just great."

Nadehsiko patted his shoulder. " Don't worry , the girl Xiolang has found is a great girl! You'll be very happy with her."

Eriol burst out, " I don't even know her , her name , how she looks like-"

Nadeshiko interrupted him. " Here's a picture of her."

Eriol , out of pure curiousity , took the picture from his mother. He stared at the small picture for a long time. It was of a girl with short auburn hair and sparkling emerald eyes. She looked carefree and in that photo , she looked very beautiful.

" Wow." Eriol said , raising his eyebrows. " Syoaran has taste!"

Nadeshiko smiled. " Her name-"

Eriol nodded , eagerly. " What's her name? I really want to know!"

Nadeshiko shook her head , laughing. " Well , she has a very pretty name. It's Sakura....Sakura Kinomoto."
