"Heaven must be missing an angel. Missing one angel child, cause you're here with me right now."
I groaned as that song went off on Sakura's alarm clock. She seemed to agree as the groaned, reached over, and slammed her palm on the snooze button, falling back asleep. I smiled. She'll never change. I quickly gave her a tight squeeze before getting out of bed. I got ready, then went into the dinning room to eat breakfast… And to think…
… Okay, so, this isn't like all the other times when you've had girlfriends and you THOUGHT you loved them. You really love Sakura, which explains why you're always happy when you're around her, why you're so obsessive, why else would you NEVER be truly happy with your girlfriends?
"…Because they were never Sakura…" I answered my thoughts. Wow, I really must be going crazy. I'm talking to myself.
"Who was never Sakura?" My eyes literally popped out at that moment. I looked up to see the angel occupying my thoughts.
"Um… Roses. Roses are never going to be Sakuras."
She looked at me as if confused. "Yes, they never will…" She was about to walk into the kitchen, should I tell her?
"… I love you, Sakura." She paused at the entrance. Maybe I should have waited before I left? She continued to stare. Okay, state of emergency!! I began to fake laugh. "Ha! You should have seen the look on your face! I'm just messing around with you!"
She pouted. "That was mean!" and stormed into the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen I banged my head into my hands. I loath myself…
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
Sakura's P.O.V:
After the bell rang, Tomoyo ran to my side and literally dragged me out of the school, with Rika, Chiharu, Naoko, and Meiling behind us. She was overly excited, talking about how she made the perfect outfits for all of us to wear, and how she was going to do my hair and makeup to make me irresistible to Syaoran. I sweat dropped as she threw me into the backseat of her limo, the others piling in after. The whole 20 minute ride to her mansion was long, consisting of Tomoyo's eyes either filled with stars or closed, talking about how perfect everything will be, with the other girls squealing in delight. Why did I agree with this?
"Hoe…"
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
"And… Done!" Tomoyo exclaimed, finishing up my make up. "Take a look!" She turned me around to take a look in the vanity mirror. I'd have to say, she didn't make me look too bad.
She had my hair up in a high ponytail, and had curled the hair into tight and shiny ringlets falling over the back of my neck. My make up was light and simple, but was apparent I was wearing some. She had placed a swiss-chocolate colored eye shadow onto my eyelids, and some bronze colored eyeliner, with dark brown mascara. To complete the rest of the look she had applied light pink lip gloss onto my lips, making them shinier than ever.
Tomoyo had used a lot for her make up, but it was nicely done and elegant. She had used violet eye shadow swiped across her eyelid, with black eyeliner and mascara. Her lip gloss was clear and shiny and seemingly indestructible. She let her hair down, but had it in a half ponytail with a ponytail that had a fake violet on it.
Tomoyo had put Meiling's hair up in her trademark buns with ruby colored bands around the base. She had swiped red eyeshadow on her eyelids, making her amber colored eyes go vibrant and even more beautiful. She did black mascara and eyeliner, and with the eyeliner shaped her eyes in an Egyptian style. She had placed a ruby colored lip-gloss on her lips, with maroon lip liner, making them look larger than they are.
For Chiharu, Tomoyo did a bronze colored eye shadow, with bronze colored eyeliner, with black mascara. She had placed an orange tinted lip gloss with a peach colored lip liner to make her lips a vibrant orange. She let Rika's hair down in curls, but braided the two front areas of her hair and pulled it back, connecting it with a clip covered in Freesias.
For Rika, she did a maroon tinted lip gloss, and did her eyes in a nice maroon color with black eyeliner and mascara. For her hair she pulled one side back with a clip covered in red roses. And last, but not least, for Naoko Tomoyo went simple by just doing her eyes in a light white shade on her eyelids, with brown mascara. She left her hair the normal way she usually does, but she put a magnolia head-band into it.
All of our dresses are the same color, but in different designs. They're black with rhinestones all over, looking like starbursts. Tomoyo's went down to her knees but had a slit to her mid-thigh and thick straps on the top to hold up the dress. Meiling's dress was to her mid-thigh with two tiny slits, one on each side, and was a strapless. Rika's was a spaghetti strapped with straps criss-crossing on the back, and went down to her knees with two slits going up to her mid thigh. Chiharu's straps went off the shoulders and the skirt went down to her mid thigh, and was a v-neck on both sides of the dress. Naoko's was a long skirt that went to her ankles with slits on each side going to her mid thigh to give her easier access to walking, and it covered most of her chest with thick straps. And then comes mine. Mine was a little different from the other girl's, which made me a little uneasy, but it was nice none the less. It was a flowing skirt that went down to my knees, and was a halter. The back was cut in a V and finally ended at the base of my back.
"Great!" I smiled. Then we all sat in silence.
"What time is it?" Rika asked.
Meilin looked at her watch. "Five."
"One hour until the boys get here…" Naoko remarked.
Tomoyo snapped her fingers and got bright eyed. "I know! Lets go down to the basement and play pool!"
"OKAY!"
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
We all headed down to the plush basement containing a couch, entertainment center, complete with VCR, DVD, and numerous game consoles, along with a surround sound stereo. On the other side was a stage with a karaoke and microphone set. Tomoyo walked over to the surround sound stereo.
"What do you guys want to listen to?" She looked away from the stereo and looked at the five of us.
"What do you have?"
"I do have this one mix with Chicago, Tears For Fears, New Order, and others too."
"Sounds good!" Meiling exclaimed as she grabbed three sticks for her team, which consisted of her, Rika, and Naoko. "You're going down Kinomoto."
"Unlike your skirt Li."
I smiled as we teased each other. I grabbed a stick for Tomoyo, Chiharu, and myself. We all got into positions, taking a place at each hole, ready to hit the white ball. Fifteen minutes had gone by, and Tomoyo's CD was pretty awesome, and we started jamming to the songs, but being cautious with out hair that Tomoyo had worked so hard on. Then, track number six came on, and our eyes lit up.
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
Syaoran's P.O.V:
We all got to Tomoyo's house half an hour later, and decided to sneak up on all of them. But when we went to the basement, where one of Tomoyo's maids had informed us they were, we got a very funny yet scary scene performed in front of us.
Normal P.O.V:
"Pop." Chiharu grinned, clutching her stick in a movement.
"Six." Rika swished her hips while going down her stick.
"Squish." Naoko bent her knees with her stick between her legs.
"Uh-uh." Meiling moved her stick back and forth as if it were saying no.
"Cicero." Sakura tilted her stick to the side.
"Lipschitz." Tomoyo wrapped her arm around her stick and laid it against her neck.
While they were making these movements the boys began to watch in amusement. They watched as their girlfriends (except in Syaoran's case, best friend/ wishing was his girlfriend.) as they danced to the song from the soundtrack Chicago.
Suddenly, Chiharu climbed on top of the pool table, being cautious not to hit the chandelier. "You know how people have these little habits that get you down? Like Bernie. Bernie liked to chew gum. No, not chew. Pop. So I came home this one day, and I'm really irritated and I'm looking for a little bit of sympathy, and there's Bernie, lying on the couch, drinking a beer and chewing. No, not chewing, popping! So I said to him 'You pop that gum one more time…'" She sighed. "And he did. So I took the shotgun off the wall and I fired two warning shots…" She made a dramatic pause. "Into his head."
"He had it coming, He had it coming.
He only had himself to blame.
If you had been there, if you had seen it.
I bet you you would have done the same." Takashi had paled and was gaping at Rika as she continued dancing on the table. The guys were laughing, but Kenzo stopped laughing once Rika jumped onto the table and said her lines to the song. Then when the Chorus came back on Chiharu hopped back onto the table and they began to dance with each other on top, then laid across it as Naoko came on and did her thing.
Junichi, Takashi, and Kenzo stared, scared of their girlfriend's behavior. Unkei, Syaoran, and Eriol unfortunately had to wait to see how the women they love had in store for them. Naoko, Chiharu, and Rika carefully sprawled themselves in the front of the pool table as Meiling stepped up, and instead of speaking in Hungarian, like he original version, she spoke the words in Chinese, but instead of her character being innocent, Meiling made her guilty, but pulling out a red sash instead of a white one.
Only Syaoran, Uneki, and her will ever know what she had said. Then came Sakura, who had Velma Kelley's part. Syaoran stared at her dancing in the spotlight, and thought about how he had never seen her so beautiful before. Then Tomoyo did her part, they finished off the act, and began rolling on the ground laughing once seeing the guy's reaction. The song changed to track seven, and was completely different from the previous song the guys had wished never came on.
"I
wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But
traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape
my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And
gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this
much
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time"
All the couples got together and embraced, kissing and hugging; Except for one "couple". Sakura smiled at Syaoran, the light florescent light creating a halo around her, making him star-struck. He smiled a goofy smile right back at her. She truly looked like an angel.
"Hello Syaoran." She smiled again.
"Hi…" Syaoran picked up her hand and kissed it gentlemanly. "You look really beautiful tonight…"
"Thank you."
"Something
happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head
over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't
take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away"
"I love you…" Sakura thought as he stared into her eyes. It seemed as if he was leaning in to kiss her, but Tomoyo interrupted.
"Come on you guys! Let's go to the movie!"
&?&?&?&?&?&?&?&?
Syaoran's P.O.V:
I carried Sakura into her apartment for the second day in the row. This seemed to turn into a daily routine, not that I mind though. Aya never showed up that night, so Sakura and I were able to act a little freely, but just in case we held hands so that then if Aya popped out of no where. It's a shame to put Sakura to bed in this wonderful dress that Tomoyo made, but she assured me it wouldn't ruin the dress. I laid her down in bed and kissed her forehead. I wouldn't mind doing this every night for the rest of my life.
But, unfortunately, what Syaoran doesn't know is that this life of bliss won't last too long.
