A/N : Well, here it is! Chapter two! I decided to continue it since I had received reviews. I also wanted to see how this story would turn out as I write it. Ahahahahaha!

Thank you very very much to those who had reviewed. YOU! Gave me motivation to write more. You see what reviews can do to the writer?- - [x] - -
" It's been two weeks since I stood in front of the grave of, Miyuri Otsukata, my grandmother. "
" Tomoyo chan, you'll be alright. I know you will. Before you know it, you'll be talking about Eriol again. " Sakura said as she tried to cheer up her depressed best friend.
" Uh, Sakura chan, thanks. "
" Anyways, Tomoyo chan, your birthday is coming soon, do you plan on having a party? "
" I don't know, do you think I should? "
" Oh yes, of course! " Sakura clasped her hands in glee. " You're turning eighteen! " She reasoned in a sing-song voice.
" Eighteen huh? " She asked in an unexcited tone laying flat on her bed.
" Yes! So..hm..wait..let me get paper. " Sakura glanced around Tomoyo's room for any scrap of paper laying around as Tomoyo stared blankly out her window.
" Hm..What about this? Can I use this? " Sakura held out a lavender envelope towards her best friend. " Sure, it's an envelope, but it's the only paper laying around here. Your room is so neat and clean! " She friendly commented.
Tomoyo averted her gaze from outside and to Sakura and then to the envelope that was in her hand.
" Oh..n..no! That's a gift from my grandma. " Tomoyo raised her voice and quickly snatched the envelope from Sakura.
" Oh.O-Okay... Will you tell me about it? "
" She gave me this as a gift and simply told me to open it on my birthday. "
" Why don't you just open it now? I would. " Sakura suggested an option.
" Weren't you listening, Sakura chan? "
" I'm sorry. "
" Nah! Don't be. So let's start with the invites. "
" Okay! Syaoran kun! Chiharu chan! Naoko chan! Meiling chan! Rika chan! Yamazaki kun! Onii chan! Yukito san! "
" Your dad, my mom. " Tomoyo continued on with her birthday invites.
" Mmhmm..everyone at our school! "
" Everyone? " Tomoyo surprisingly squeaked.
" Why not? You're rich ne? "
" Sakura.. " Tomoyo narrowed her eyes. " Is that all? "
" Tomoyo Daidouji! We're best friends! You know that's not what I want from you! " Sakura mumbled as she stomped her foot against the lavender-fuzzed carpet.
" I know.. " Tomoyo softly replied with tiny tears streaming down her pale face. " I know.. "
" Aw, Tomoyo chan, your grandmother wouldn't want you to be this way, especially on your birthday. You'd probably break her heart. " Sakura said as she put an arm around Tomoyo's shoulder.
" I promise you'll be alright, I'm here. " Sakura slightly teared, but immediately tried to conceal it by putting on a smile.

Tomoyo's POV

I simply gazed at the decorations. Shades of lavender and pink everywhere. The streamers, the heart-shaped balloons imprinted with my name, the gift table, the banner, the cherry blossom confetti, the pink and red roses..they were all there..I truly loved it! But, will this make me happy now that my grandmother is gone?
" Tomoyo chan!! " I recognize the voice and especially the squeals of Sakura Kinomoto. " Happy Birthday!! " She squealed again and I turn around to thank her.
" Li kun. " I merely said as he and Sakura approached me.
" Oh! Of course, he's here! He wouldn't forget your birthday! " Sakura exclaimed as she elbowed her boyfriend.
" Happy Birthday Daidouji. " He greeted me in his calm, collected tone and handed me a green gift-wrapped box with a light green ribbon on top.
" Arigato Li kun. " I stared at him as I politely took his gift, amber-eyed, chestnut brown hair, a fair complexion. I wouldn't say we were really close, maybe just friends, I guess.
" Here's my gift. "
" Arigato Sakura chan. " I hugged her and walked over to the gift table and setted Sakura and Li's gift.
I then spotted Chiharu, Naoko, Yamazaki and Rika walking in one after the other. Where's Meiling?
" There's the birthday girl! " I heard Yamazaki kun yell and he smiled as he began walking closer.
" Happy Birthday Tomoyo chan! " Naoko, Chiharu and Rika said in unison.
" Thanks you guys! " I embraced them in one-big hug.
I ended up talking with Sakura and the others and I saw Touya kun and Yukito san walking over to our table.
" Happy Birthday, Tomoyo chan. " Touya kun and Yukito san greeted and handed me their gifts. I said thanks and resumed talking while Yukito san rushed over to the food section.
" Tomoyo chan. "
I turned to the voice who was calling me. " What is it Sakura? "
" Your grandmother's gift. " She stated. " Are you going to open it now? "
" Maybe later. "
" Tomoyo chan, later, it'll be midnight and tomorrow. I suggest you do it now. " She stared at me disapprovingly.
" Then, I'd have to open everything else. " I argued with slight attitude. Not that I want to open everything at once...and now.
" Nah, just your grandmother's. "
I smiled. Not a forced one. And I ran into my room upstairs and following me was...Sakura..of course! I carefully held it in my hands and whispered a thanks to my grandma. I opened it ever so delicately and inside the envelope revealed a small pink paper, written on it was only...
" Happy Birthday Tomoyo Daidouji! "
and a bunch of sapphire and amethyst glitter. The glitter then flew out the window as the wind blew. Sakura and I continued to gaze at the sparkling glitter in awe as it flew out and scattered into the dark blue starry sky.
" Tomoyo chan! Someone is here to see you! " My mother ordered me to resume downstairs and to my party.
" I wonder who that is. " Sakura turned to me and grabbed my wrist.
