I'm so sorry for not updating for...quite a while. Hehehe...I got really lazy. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reviewing! You don't know how happy I was when I got your reviews! I thought I wasn't even going to get any!

So thanks a lot to:

SweetCherryBlossom- Thank you so much for being my first reviewer! Yes, I do agree that my title's a bit unimaginative, but I thought since everything's going to be started with singing and being picked, that I'd just make it the title!

Kura-chan- Thank you for being my second reviewer! Your review made me smile!

heheangel kisses- Yay! I updated! Aren't you happy? I sure hope you'll think this chapter's interesting too!

Thank you so, so much! Without you I wouldn't have even tried to update at all!

Recap

Everyone clapped and cheered Sakura except for Syaoran who just leaned back on his chair with his arms crossed. But even though he didn't show it, he's got to admit, he was impressed. She was the best out of the others he heard so far. She had brought out the excitement of the song and made it fun for herself and the audience to watch. And to top things off, she sang live without any recordings of her singing the main part while doing the almost impossible--singing, dancing, and keeping eye contact with the audience every once in a while.

Syaoran watched as she bowed, left the stage approaching Ikkio to get her cd back, and went down the stage stairs to, he guessed, her friend. He could see the violet-haired girl pat her on the back with a 'You were great!', and they both sat back down to hear the rest. He turned his head back to face the next contestant and finding Eriol smirking at him. He just shook his head and listened to the girl on the stage start to sing.

Picked
Chapter two

--Sakura's home--

"Tomo, I felt so nervous when I got onto the stage! What if, what if..."

"Don't worry about it Saku! You did great! It was marvelous, spectacular, breathtaking, attractive, enchanting, beautiful, intriguing, mighty, intense, irresistible, powerf-"

"Okay, okay! I get it!" interrupted Sakura.

"Good! I was beginning to run out of words."

"Ahahaha! Thanks Tomoyo. You really are a best friend."

"Anything for you my dear Saku. Just promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Promise me that I will be able to make your clothes!" Tomoyo exclaimed while holding Sakura's two hands with her own.

"..."

"Onegai! Onegai!"

And then there it was the irresistibly funny-looking attempt of her puppy eyes.

"Fine!"

Tomoyo grinned.

--Where Syaoran and Eriol are--

"So what do you think?" asked Eriol.

"I don't know. What did you think?" replied Syaoran.

"Well, I thought all of them were great. But I also happen to know that one of them stood out a lot more than the others."

"Yeah, she did. Her name was Kinomoto Sakura right?"

"Yeah. I noticed that you remembered her name. It is quite hard to not remember it though, considering the staring you gave her."

"Did not."

"Whatever. So are you going to pick her or not?"

"..."

"Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, to-"

"Okay! Okay! Shut up with that! I'm going to pick her, 'kay?"

"Ha! I knew you would! I knew you would!" Eriol chanted in a sing-song way.

"Ugh..." managed Syaoran.

--Sunday (three days after the competition was held) at the Kinomoto's Residence--

"Kaijiu! Kaijiu!" shouted Touya as he went upstairs to Sakura's bedroom. "Kaij- ITAI!!!!!"

"Oni-chan, what seems to be the problem?" questioned Sakura with an innocent look.

"Since when do you put a mousetrap at the doorway?!" he cried as he tried to pry off the device.

"Since you started to call me a kaijiu downstairs when I'm not! Anyway, what'd you want?"

"You got a letter in the mailbox," he stated trying to pull off the mousetrap while pointing at the letter which fell on the floor.

Sakura went to pick up the letter and opened it. She took the piece of paper out and started to read it.

"Which is surprising 'cause I thought a kaijiu like you would never get one," continued Touya. But he never got a stomp on his foot which he got ready for this time. "Kaijiu? You there? Kaijiu?"

All of a sudden, a squeal came out of Sakura's mouth and she tightly hugged her brother screaming about something she got. Then she went downstairs to where her otou-san was and tightly hugged him too.

"Otou-san! Otou-san! I got it! I got it! I won!" she exclaimed.

"Eh? Sakura-chan, what did you win?" Fujitaka asked.

"Do you remember that singing contest they held in Carol Crystals that I told you about?"

"I do remember, but you never told me. I just heard a commercial about it on T.V."

"Oops. Well, anyway," she said as she got excited again, "I won! I can get my own record deal!"

"Don't forget you have to sing with that gaki too," interrupted Touya.

"Touya, you don't even know him in person. And Sakura, I'm glad you won, and am very proud of you. I'm sure your mother is too."

"Arigato otou-san!" thanked Sakura. Then she turned around to go back upstairs and softly whispered, "and arigato...okaa-san."

--Next day at school--

"Saku! I knew you'd win! I just knew it!"

"Hoe! Tomo, how'd you know so soon? I just got the mail yesterday!"

"Dear Saku-chan, it was all over the news yesterday! Everyone's just talking about you!"

"Hoeee..."

Just a split second after that, a black limo pulled up at the open gates of Tomoeda High. The limo door opened to reveal Eriol. After he got out was Syaoran. Now the whole school of girls headed their way, but luckily, the bodyguards could hold them off. Eriol scanned the area to find a specific girl. It wasn't supposed to be hard to spot considering almost everyone weren't near her, but with the girls surrounding them, it was quite difficult to even see the view beyond them. Finally, his eyes landed on a girl with auburn hair who had her uniform on. However, his eyes quickly moved to the girl beside her. She had long violet hair that was tied up in a high ponytail and also had a uniform on. He guessed it was the school's uniform that they had to wear.

"Eriol, did you find her?" asked Syaoran who shook Eriol away from his trance.

"Huh? Uh...yeah. She's over there," he replied with his finger pointing at where the girls were.

The girls around them, thinking that he pointed at them, immediately squealed and started to climb over the other girls in front of them. (talk about crazy lol)

Syaoran and Eriol quickly walked over to Sakura and Tomoyo with the bodyguards still trying to get rid of the crazy girls.

"Ohayo ladies. I am Hiirigizawa Eriol and this is Li Syaoran." Syaoran nodded to them. "As you might know already, we were the judges of the singing competition at the Carol Crystals and we personally come to inform Kinomoto Sakura that she has won the contest. I assume you have received a letter already?"

"Hai Hiirigizawa-san. I just got it yesterday." Sakura smiled.

"Yes, that's great. Well, we invite you to our household to discuss more information on this. A limo will come to this very same place at the end of your day at school to pick you up and bring you there."

"Can my best friend, Daidouji Tomoyo, come as well?"

"Yes, she can."

"Arigato Hiirigizawa-san!" exclaimed Tomoyo.

"Call me Eriol. Same for you Kinomoto-san."

"Then call me Sakura and my friend Tomoyo."

"Alright then. Syaoran and I better leave. We don't want to get trampled by them --looks at the girls surrounding them-- and we certainly don't want you girls to be late for your classes," Eriol said with a sincere smile. "We'll see each other again after school. Ja!"

"Ja!"

"When the limo left, everyone went to Sakura to congratulate her and say how lucky she was to be able to see Syaoran. Sakura just sweatdropped and thanked them while walking away with Tomoyo for their first class.

--After school at the mansion--

"Sugoi! Look at this place Tomo! It's enormously gigantically huge!"

Tomoyo had to agree with Sakura on that too. Even though she lived in a mansion, it wasn't at all as big as this.

"Good afternoon ladies," greeted Wei, the butler.

"Good afternoon!"

"Li-sama and Hiirigizawa-sama are in the living room waiting for you. Just go down the hall then turn left and the second room you reach on the right is it."

"Arigato Wei-sama!"

Sakura and Tomoyo followed the directions they were given and finally reached the living room. Even though the directions were so simple, it was a great amount of distance that they had to walk.

"Saku, I think we should knock first."

Knock, knock.

"Come in, please," came Eriol's voice from inside.

"Konnichiwa!"

"Ah, Sakura, Tomoyo, we've been waiting for you."

"Hehe...sorry for taking so long to get here. It took us almost ten minutes just to get here! It's huge here!" exclaimed Sakura.

Eriol chuckled. "Why don't you join us on the couch? We have plenty to talk about."

"Okay!"

Konnichiwa Sakura. Konnichiwa Tomoyo," greeted Syaoran.

Konnichiwa Syaoran!" Sakura and Tomoyo greeted back.

"Okay, okay! Enough with these konnichiwa's! It's getting really boring!" (hahaha...thanks Eriol. I'm getting bored just typing 'konnichiwa' over and over again!)

Syaoran decided to speak since he hadn't really spoken much with Eriol doing all the talking for him.

"Sakura, you know how the flyer said you're getting your own record deal and singing with me?"

Sakura nodded.

"Well, this will come as quite a surprise for you as it did to me. My mother had called earlier, and we had told her that you had won the contest. Then she just came up with an idea saying that you'll be able to gain the experience and I'll be able to learn the importance cooperating."

"So what are you trying to say?" asked a clearly confused Sakura.

"What I'm trying to say is that, you'll have to go on a tour with me and Eriol."

"A tour?! But what about my schooling? What about my dad and my brother? What about Tomoyo-chan?"

"Yes, a tour. Your schooling will be done with me and Eriol. We have a personal teacher. We have called your dad and he's okay with it. However, your brother seemed to disagree since I heard him yelling in the background. And Tomoyo can come along with you. That is if all this is okay with you."

"I can come along too? This is great! I can make more clothes for you, Saku-chan! I can make clothes for Syaoran too! And more for Eriol! Oh! This is just great! My mom will definitely agree!"

"Eheheheh...? Umm, if my dad's okay with it and Tomoyo can come too, then, I agree!"

"That's great! You'll have to start packing once you get home though. We'll be leaving tomorrow at 7:30pm for our first tour that's two months from next week, so tomorrow's going to be both of your last days at school."

"Okay then! We have to leave now Saku! We have lots of packing in front of us! Ja Syaoran and Eriol!" yelled Tomoyo as she dragged Sakura out for home.

--At school the next day--

"Class, today's going to be Kinomoto-san and Daidouji-san's last day here at Tomoeda High. They will be going on a tour with the famous Li Syaoran."

"Aww...Sakura-chan, you're so lucky!"

"How long are you going for?"

"When are you leaving?"

"Ohh...you're so lucky Sakura..." every single girl except for Sakura and Tomoyo said with a dreamy sigh all at once. Even the teacher. (Don't worry, the teacher's just in her early twenties. =) )

Both of the girls sweat dropped while the guys were all sad that the two hottest girls in the school were leaving.

Yay! Another chapter finished! Sorry it took so long...but I just got really, really lazy! I promise it won't happen again! School's starting in about two weeks so updates may not be as soon as I wish. Probably it's going to be one chapter every two weeks? Maybe two if I'm lucky and don't have much homework! Please review! Ja!
