Unwanted Spotlight Chapter 3
Friday night drove her crazy, her tea was the only thing that soothed her. She had to check EVERYTHING. From lights, sounds and costumes, it was stressful. Concerts always made her tired.
"Umm... Kinomoto-san, there's a problem.." Yui Hamesha, the one in charge of costumes told her. Sakura sighed.
"What's wrong?" She asked trying to stay calm.
"Sakura!!! The lights are too bright! What do we do????"
"Problem!!! We need more back up singers!!!"
"One of the dancers broke her leg!"
Sakura's inside panicked as she rushed to every problem... Everyone was at a rush but not as much as Sakura. Her insides felt as if they were about to burst. (Pardon me while I burst in to flames... Hehehe)
Five minutes before eight, everything was done and fixed. Now all she had to was to go to the superstar's dressing room. Tired, she walked to the dressing room with very little left energy. She knocked but no one answered.
"Hey Cherry, are you ready?" She called out. She waited but no reply came. Sakura sighed for the umpteenth time tonight and knocked again. After two minutes she panicked. She started banging on the door.
"CHERRY! Are you alright?!" She yelled. Sakura heard nothing so she got out her keys and opened the door.
'Hell with privacy and hell with me for keeping it for her...' she thought cursing consistently. She searched to large room quickly calling out the star's name. And guess what? She didn't find her...
'F***, where is she?' she thought already panicking. The people were already waiting outside, how was she to tell them they wasted their money for nothing?
She punched numbers on her phone, correct that phones apparently five of her closest friends with her in the business and told them five all the same thing:
"People, look for CHERRY!!! NOW!!! And don't tell anyone!" kept all the mobiles and ran outside... She searched for her everywhere until they all met up in a room all failed to find the missing.
"Anyone see her?" She asked, already at a desperate pace. They all sadly shook their heads and said no. She took out her phone again and dialed another set of numbers.
"Hey Li, where the hell is your f****** girlfriend? She asked rather rudely. Syaoran, who was at the other end, was taken back at the use of language.
"Why are you asking me? Doesn't she have a concert tonight?" He replied in monotone. Sakura cried out in frustration (which isn't really like her) and lost all her ability to calm down.
"She's not here! She's missing!" She whined almost at tears. This was too much for her to handle. She was too tired and stressed for all of this, and she was at the verge of a break down.
Syaoran's chest ached for her. He knew she'll be the one answering to this if ever this got out. He sympathized for her.
"Relax, stay calm... Put an assistant on the phone and let me talk to him or her while you calm down." He said in a voice with quite a sincere tone but she didn't notice. She refused to argue so she just handed the phone to Suo her trusted assistant. She took breaths in as she listened to Suo say his 'uh-huhs', 'right' and 'okays'. A concluding sentence finished the phone call.
"Okay, thanks we'll do it." He said to him before pressing the end call button. He threw the phone back to Sakura and started giving orders.
Sakura had an ignored puzzled look on her face as everyone followed and started taking her somewhere.
"I know you'll hate me for this but there is no other choice. We have to do what Li says." The blue haired boy said to her. Sakura rose an eyebrow.
"and that is to?" She asked. Suo took a breath in.
"We'll turn you to Cherry." He said. Sakura gave a silly smile.
"You're a genius. I hate the idea but it's all we've got. Eck... Just tell me when to stop... It's going to be.... Scary..." She replied in a lighter mood which is quite unexpected. Suo smiled back.
Once they reached the make up room, people started bustling around her like bees. They were all confused of the yelling made by Suo but they fixed her up real quick and they had since the crowd outside has already started yelling.
Seconds after that, Sakura wore a simple red sleeveless shirt and a black skirt. She looked amazing, an exact replica of Cherry, well with more clothes on. Her red colored lips, her crimson eye shadow and her twisted hair made her look more.... Girly and 'sexy'. She was nervous as hell but she was also ready. Sakura hugged Suo and he wished her luck. Then she stepped out and there was the blinding light she's secretly been wanting to see....
She took a breath in and yelled:
"ARE YOU READY TOKYO?!!!!"
The crowd cheered. She smiled.
"This first song is dedicated to all of you!"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Two hours later, she realized how much she envied Cherry... How her singing made everyone happy or how her songs touched them. Now she was seated on a high chair singing a new song. A song she just made...
I've seen a lot of trouble Mishaps and mess I've been through all of them I have shed more tears than happiness.
But then you came, At first I didn't believe I refused to see But you took me by the hand And led me to the lighted way And opened my eyes
All hope was lost I was caught in a labyrinth And then you came and showed me the way Who knew? Who knew an angel would come as you
Try and picture this, It was dark I was cold And a ray of warmth passed me by I looked up And guess what? It was you...
All hope was lost I was caught in a labyrinth And then you came and showed me the way Who knew? Who knew an angel would come as you
I continue to fall and stumble You pick me up and carry me along the way Your smile, drives away the fear You're like no one I've ever known
All hope was lost I was caught in a labyrinth And then you came and showed me the way Who knew? Who knew an angel would come as you
Take my world and added color, Not anymore just black and blue It's better and brighter And It's because of you....
All hope was lost I was caught in a labyrinth And then you came and showed me the way Who knew? Who knew an angel would come as you
She closed her eyes at the last chorus and tried very hard not to cry. Yes, it's quite dramatic but she couldn't help it. But at the last and final 'you' she smiled for she could already hear the happy fans that were screaming their heads off. She opened her eyes and walked to the stage and in her hand were five CD cases with Cherry's newest, not yet released CDs. She grinned at them.
"As you can see, I have five CDs of Che- my new CD! And their signed and ready for fans to listen to them. So what do you guys say that I throw these CDs?" She asked with her lopsided grin. Everyone screamed with excitement as they all raised their arms to grab the prize. Sakura saw how much people wanted them so she decided to do something. It was unfair that the people at the back couldn't get any.
"Hold on okay? I'll be right back!" She yelled at them before going back stage and grabbing more CDs and a couple more stuff. She signed the CDs and placed all the goods in a big bag... She grinned and went out.
"So... Are you ready? RAISE THOSE ARMS!!!!" She happily yelled at them. They all jumped with anticipation. Sakura signaled to the back and they brought out a pretty weird looking canon...
"I can see people at the back couldn't get anything at my past concerts so, we have the new dream cannon to fulfill your dreams of getting at least something. I placed them in cute pink bags, all the stuff I mean and make sure you get something okay?" She said making them all happier. She brought out the first goody bag and stuffed it in the cannon. And it shot out and it went way back.
"Hope you enjoy the new shirt!!! It's a Cherry label!" She yelled. She liked it... She finished all the things and almost all of them got CDs, cute mailman bags, pictures, shirts and Cherry's stuff. As cheesy as it sounds, she was pretty satisfied.
"Awee... You guys know what time it is? It's already time for me to leave...." She said to them sadly. They all awed in disappointment.
"Thank you for going to my concert and I hope I'll see you again! You were all very beautiful!" (A/N: the 'you were beautiful' part, Brandon Boyd said that at his concert... Hehehe)
"BYE!!!!!" She said waving to them. The lights turned off and she stared at the crowd for a while. With a smile of content she went backstage once again.
A crowd of her five closest co-workers greeted her with happy smiles.
"Sakura you were amazing! It was awesome! I loved that last song!" They all complimented her and this made her bright pink. She wasn't really expecting this but then she came to her senses.
"Everyone, thank you so much and you guys were so great. They actually believed I was Cherry! And, I would like to compliment and praise all of you for doing a great job. It wouldn't have been a success with out you guys! But... we have to get serious. We need to find Cherry." She felt her energy getting lower by the second. She was able to finish what she meant to say but by timing only then she fainted. A strong pair of arms was able to catch and break her fall. Syaoran lifted Sakura as she peacefully slept.
"Hey everyone, that was a great job you did out there. And I would like you guys to keep this extremely a secret. Any of you five spreads the word of the star's disappearance this could be a great scandal so I advise to keep all your mouths shut. I have already told the make up artists that Sakura was sick from stress and Cherry came from my house so no need to worry about that. So no one knows expect the seven of us and a couple more friends of mine who'll help us. So please shut up about this until we figure out something." He told them but still in his same monotone. They all nodded with approval and all agreed. Yui, Suo, Ayumi, Hana, and Tateishi had to keep completely silent....
This wasn't going to be easy.
