~*~ DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN CCS!!!...*runs away and stumbles sobbing like a four-year old* ~*~
~*~_Karaoke Nite!!!!_~*~
It was 7:15 in the morning, and Sakura was driving over to Tomoyo's house to pick up the outfit she had for her.
She finally arrived at the gigantic front gates of the "Daidouji Residence."
Sakura parked her car, and approached the gates. She pressed the buzzer.
*buzzzz*
A cheery voice came on the intercom, "Daidouji Residence"
"This is Kinomoto Sakura. I'm here to see Tomoyo."
"Sakura-chan!"
The golden gates swung open and Sakura made her way to the front door of the lavender mansion (and Tomoyo requested the mansion to be painted like that! Lol ^_^).
A amethyst-eyed girl with long, violet waist-length hair ran out of the mansion door and approached Sakura.
"Sakura-chan!"
"Tomoyo-chan!"
"Come in! Come in!"
Tomoyo hurried Sakura off into the mansion.
"Are you hungry? Would you like something to drink?"
"Tomyo, I'm fine!" Sakura sweat dropped.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure"
Tomoyo motioned for Sakura to follow her to her room.
Tomoyo opened the door to her room and went inside as Sakura followed.
"Okay, Tomoyo, where is this 'perfect out fit'?" Sakura asked as Tomoyo went through another door.
Tomoyo came back out with a huge stack of dresses and laid them in front of Sakura.
Sakura stared blankly at the stack of clothes, "Um, Tomoyo, did you mean outfit? Or outfits?"
"Well, I couldn't really decide, Sakura. Everything seems to look good on you, so...here we are." Tomoyo laughed.
Sakura sweat dropped.
"Try the first one, Saku."
Sakura shrugged, "Okay."
~*~*~*~*~*20 MINS. LATER~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura finished up the stack of dresses, only to find that they all were either too wrinkly, too fancy, too frilly, or too dreary.
Sakura sighed, "Well, I guess you were wrong, Tomoyo. Every dress in that pile stunk on me."
Tomoyo was in thought. She snapped as soon as she had an idea, "OoOOOooO Why don't we go to the mall?...YES! That's a GREAT idea!"
Tomoyo grabbed her keys and purse. She took Sakura by the wrists and practically dragged her out of the door, with Sakura sweat dropping behind her.
"SHOPPING SPREE, HERE WE COME!!!" Tomoyo beamed.
"Hoeeeeee...This is gonna be a long day..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo and Sakura finally arrived at the mall.
They were looking around for the perfect shop, until Sakura spotted this kawaii little shop. She quickly ran inside, like a five-year old in a candy shop.
"Sakura-chan! We have to find you a dress!" Tomoyo chased after Sakura, trying to keep up.
Sakura looked at all the displays and cute products.
She spotted a gorgeous cherry blossom barrette. Sakura searched in her purse for money to buy it. She finally found it and took it out. Sakura looked back up and found no barrette there! Sakura's eyes widened.
She saw an amber-eyed male purchasing it at the register.
Sakura stomped over to the man, as he took his receipt from the lady at the register.
"Excuse me, but _I_ was going to buy that," Sakura said in a not-so- friendly way.
"Well, too bad. I bought this as a gift for a friend of mine," The man replied in a rude way.
Sakura glared, "Why you little--"
"There you are! Come on! We've got to find you the perfect dress!"
Tomoyo grabbed Sakura and dragged her away from the man. Tomoyo gave the man an apologizing glance and hurried off.
The man stuck his tongue out at Sakura. Sakura was enraged, "Let me at 'em!"
Tomoyo dragged Sakura away faster.
They finally arrived at a small shop that Tomoyo dragged her into.
Tomoyo squealed as she picked out about a dozen different outfits and stacked them onto Sakura's arms. Then, Tomoyo hurried her off to the dressing rooms.
After 2 hours of searching for the perfect outfit, they finally found the perfect one (oh, and let me mention, that I won't reveal what it looks like until karaoke nite, k?). Tomoyo nodded in approval, as Sakura danced around in the dress in front of the mirror.
"Oh, Tomoyo, it's perfect!"
*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~
It was already 7:00 P.M. and Tomoyo and Sakura arrived at Chiharu's club.
Sakura was already changed into her cherry blossom pink dress. There was a shiny silk sash, decorated with tiny diamond-like sequins, that was wrapped around Sakura's tiny waist, showing off her curves. The dress was knee- length, which showed that it was a tad fancy, but casual. The dress came with a matching cherry blossom pink shawl, made of chiffon. The dress flowed behind her as she walked from place-to-place. She even had bubble gum pink strapped sandals to top it all off. Sakura's long, black locks were curled a bit, to show off the beauty of it all. She was radiant.
"And our next performer is, Miss Kinomoto Sakura, singing 'Wonderful Journey'."
A wave of applause sounded throughout the club. Sakura took a deep breath and walked onto the stage. She sat on the stool that was set on stage. She then adjusted the microphone and cleared her throat. She spotted Tomoyo with a camera in her hands and giving her a thumbs-up. Sakura nodded. She looked out at the audience and spotted a familiar figure walk into the club. He sat down on a barstool and stared back at her. He had the most familiar amber eyes.
Suddenly, the soft, tranquil music started playing and Sakura returned her glances to the rest of the audience. She took a breath and then started singing,
"~We were strangers starting out on a journey
Never dreamin' what we had to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standin' at the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected,
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start...~"
Sakura glanced over to the amber-eyed man. He was listening intently at the lyrics.
"~And life is a road
I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turnin'
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standin' at the beginning with you...~"
Tomoyo video-taped Sakura as she silently squealed behind her camera. "Whoo! Go Saku!" Tomoyo whispered to herself.
"~We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreamin' how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you...~"
Sakura sang the last word as she stood up and took the microphone off of the mic stand. Sakura started singing higher notes.
"~And life is a road
I wanna keep goin'~"
Tears rolled down Sakura's cheeks. This reminded Sakura of the Clow Card capturing days with Syaoran. She sang with such emotion, that people were crying with her. They could feel her soul roaming with the music.
"~Love is a river
I wanna keep flowin'
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey~"
More tears streamed down Sakura's eyes.
"~I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning...
...With you...~"
A storm of applause sounded throughout the club. And not a dry eye in the house. Sakura smiled, teary-eyed.
"Thanks everybody. And good night..."
She bowed one last time and walked off down the stage.
The amber-eyed stranger kept his gaze upon the girl. Her charm seemed so familiar to him. He could've sworn he felt a familiar aura somewhere.
Sakura came up to a teary-eyed Tomoyo. She hugged Sakura.
"My gosh, Saku...*sniff*...that was so...touching..."
They broke away from the hug.
Sakura smiled at Tomoyo, "Oh thank you, Tomoyo."
"You know what, Tomoyo? That song reminded me so much of Syaoran...I miss him so much..."
The amber-eyed man walked up to up to Sakura.
Sakura looked up.
The man gave a warm smile, "You were wonderful..."
Before Sakura could realize that it was the man at the mall, he had already left out the door.
