LAVENDER SHADOW
Little Wings - Hey, I'm back, sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I'm at my dad's so I won't be able to post as much. Probably a chapter a week or less.

"Breaking up, starting up and taking the stage"
Tomoyo lay on her sleeping bag, looking at Sakura, Syaoran and..Eriol. They had all stayed over that night and neither were awake yet. Except for her. She sighed and looked around the room, trying to find something to pass time. Maybe making out with Eriol if he was awake.
'No, you have a boyfriend. You're such a cheat'
RING RING!
Tomoyo snatched up the phone. "Moshi Moshi?"
"Hey Tomoyo, it's Kei" her boyfriend said.
"Oh, hey Kei" Tomoyo replied.
"Have you got everything set for tomorrow?" He asked.
"Uh-huh, song is confidential, of course, even for you" She told him.
"Aw" Kei groaned.
"Too bad!" Tomoyo teased.
"Ok then. Sorry to make this phone call short but I have to go, love you" Kei said.
Tomoyo felt a pang of guilt about the previous night and thought. "Ok, bye"
She slammed down the phone infrustration. Then bit her lip. She'd enjoyed kissing Eriol more than Kei and she shouldn't feel like that. Worse still, she wanted to do it again.
'I'm a bad girlfriend' Tomoyo thought.
~No, you're not. Being in love isn't a crime~
'But I'm not in love with Kei'
~Eriol you idiot~
'Oh. Don't call me an idiot'
~So you finally admit you have fallen for the blue-haired boy?~
'No'
~Liar. You can't hide from your own conscience, dolt~
'I can and I will. So there'
~Face it Tomoyo. You've got it bad for him and he for you in return. Get your act together and stop moping around~
Tomoyo frowned and got up to make breakfast, thinking about that damn conscience and the phone call.
She got out the pancake mix and absent-mindedly tossed it all in. Tomoyo thought about the music festival the next day and bit her lip. It was true, she'd done one performance on assembly in America but that was 500 kids. Not 5,000 people. Tomoyo had gotten her outfit sent over from Jordyn.
"Hey! Breakfast is ready!" She yelled.
Three pairs of footsteps came into the kitchen. Each grabbed a plate and staring to eat. Tomoyo sat down. Eriol, Sakura and Syaoran exchanged glances and stopped chewing. The three of them forced the food down their throats and put their cutlery down.
"What?" Tomoyo asked.
"Uh..Sorry Tomoyo, I'm not really hungry" Eriol coughed.
"Sorry Tomo, my appetite's gone. You know how it just comes and goes!" Sakura said in a fake bright voice.
Syaoran cleared his throat and glanced at the other two. "They're great. You try them. I didn't know you could cook so well"
"Thanks" Tomoyo grinned and shoved a forkful of pancake in her mouth.
She almost immediately spat in out, to the amusement of her three other friends, who cracked up laughing.
"Ew. Syaoran!" Tomoyo whined.
"Not my fault you suck at cooking!" he gasped in between laughs.
"Oh shutup" She huffed.
(#)(#)(#)(#)(#)(#)(#)(#)(#)(#)(#)
"Daidouji, Tomoyo" Tomoyo said to the security guard.
"Fifth door on the left" he said in a gruff voice
Tomoyo headed toward the dressing room where she was meant to get ready. She found her name and opened the door to find a full length mirror, a stool in front of a make-up table and another mirror, a couch and a mini fridge. She put her costume down and sat herself down in front of the make- up table and started applying her eye make-up.
A knock sounded on the wooden door of Tomoyo's room. She got up and opened the door.
It was Kei. With roses.
"K-Kei" she stammered.
"Hey gorgeous, just thought I'd wish you good luck" he kissed her lips quickly.
"Um..thanks for the roses, but, oh my god" Tomoyo put her hands on her hair.
"What is it?" Kei frowned.
"Listen, I really, really like you, ok? I really do and you'll make a great boyfriend for a great girl. That girl just isn't me. I'm sorry" Tomoyo said sympathetically.
He looked shocked for a second but then to her surprise, he smiled.
"That's cool. I always thought I was a bit old for you. I guess I'll see you round. No hard feelings?" Kei asked.
"Sure" Tomoyo gave him a friendly hug before shoving him playfully out the door.
When Kei was out and the door was closed, Tomoyo got out a straightener and straightened the bottom of her hair, so the curls were now straight. Her shiny black hair hung straight down to her mid-back.
Her outfit consisted of light-wash flared jeans and a white V-necked halter top. Tomoyo's black ankle boots were completely covered by her long jeans. A silver necklace that looked like barbed wire hung around her neck. Clear lipgloss shone on her lips and eyeliner and mascara decorated her eyes. She fit her headpiece on around her hair.
"Hey, you're on in ten minutes, Christina then The Black Eyed Peas and then you and afterward Good Charlotte. You'll only have a keyboard I'm sorry" A woman in her late twenties ducked in her door to tell her.
"That's ok" Tomoyo replied.
One of her favourite bands was there! She grabbed her polaroid camera and shoved it in her bag. Tomoyo crept out of her room and searched the names on the doors. There it was! Good Charlotte. She opened and went straight in.
The band stared at her quizzically.
"Oh! I'm sorry, wrong room!" Tomoyo's hand flew to her chest. 'Perfect' she thought.
"Nothin on it" Billy said. "I like your necklace"
"Really? Thanks. While I'm here, do you mind if I get some photos? It's not every day you get to meet Good Charlotte" Tomoyo asked.
"Sure. Are you one of the three undiscovered acts?" Benji said.
"Um, yeah, I am.. I write my own stuff and play the piano" She replied.
Tomoyo had a lot of fun taking photos with the boys and got the dressing room assistant to take a few so she was with all of them. They were having the time of their lives in their little photography session until Tomoyo looked at the clock.
"Uh-oh, I'm on in two minutes!" she said said frantically and rushing to backstage, where she found the manager.
"Where've you been?" she hissed.
"Sorry" Tomoyo apologized.
"..And now! Our first undiscovered act is Tomoyo Daidouji!" A voice announced.
Tomoyo put on a grin and strutted on stage. She sat down at the key board.
"Hey everyone, I'm Tomoyo and the song I'll be singing is called 'Lost without you' and it's dedicated to Eriol" she said.
Tomoyo's fingers went over the keys of the piano, playing the introduction and she started to sing.

"Thank-you" | | | |The crowd errupted in whistles, screams and applause. Sakura, | |Syaoran and Eriol standing out the most of them all. Especially | |Eriol. Tomoyo stood up and gave the crowd on last grin before | |walking to the wings of the stage to watch Good Charlotte's | |performance. | | | |"That was great, Tomoyo. Now here's Good Charlotte with the | |Anthem!" the host said. | | | |"It's a new day, but it all feels old | |It's a good life, that's what I'm told | |But everything, it all just feels the same | | | |And my high school, it felt more to me | |Like a jail cell, a penitentiary | |My time spent there, it only made me see | | | |That I don't ever wanna be like you | |I don't wanna do the things you do | |I'm never gonna hear the words you say | |'Cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be | | | |You...don't wanna be just like you | |What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, | |you, don't wanna be you | | | |"Go to college, a university, get a real job," | |That's what they said to me | |But I could never live the way they want | |I'm gonna get by and just do my time, out of step while they all | |get in line I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind | | | |Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another | |trend?

Joel called. | | | |Tomoyo's jaw dropped.

Paul smiled. | | | |"Yeah" she smiled back. | | | |"We gotta go, be sure to save us your album, Tomoyo!" Joel waved.| | | | | |"If it gets that far" Tomoyo giggled and turned around. Eriol was| |facing her. | | | |"Eriol, I-" her explaination was silenced with a kiss. Tomoyo was| |shocked at first then twisted her arms around Eriol's neck, | |deepening it. | | | |"I love you" she whispered in his ear. | | | |"I love you too" he said back. | | | |@&@&@&@&@&@ | | | |Little Wings - There goes another chapter and Tomoyo's | |performance!
