Chapter 2
"Damn, I lost. Now I have to be stuck with Eriol." Sakura pouted, unhappily.
"That's too bad. Aw, but now I'm stuck with Syaoran." Tomoyo pouted as well.
"HEY!" both of the guys yelled.
The girls just laughed and got into whichever car they were supposed to go on.
Syaoran and Tomoyo drove near the west side of the city, while Eriol and Sakura drove on the east side.
As Syaoran drove, he saw a sign that said "Help needed". He noticed that the building was a music company, and, well, he kind of liked music, so he decided to apply for a job there. He parked the car and both he and Tomoyo came out of the car. They walked into the building and towards the counter.
Tomoyo, thinking that Syaoran would make a bad first impression, spoke to the lady. "Hey. Me and my friend, here, are looking for a job. Could you please tell me what kind of jobs are offered here?" she said with a bright smile.
"We're looking for a person to control the sound system, since the guy who used to work here got fired, and we need a make-up artist." the lady replied.
"Is there a job for like a fashion designer or something?" Tomoyo asked, hoping there was.
"Sorry, there is a job like that, but it's already taken. Perhaps you might want to apply for the make-up artist." the lady answered politely.
"No thanks." Tomoyo told the lady, slightly unhappy.
"I'll take the job as the sound system dude." Syaoran spoke for the first time since they had arrived at the building.
"Do you know how to work it? Have you had any experience with this kind of technology?" the lady questioned.
"No, but I'm a fast learner. Just give me the damn job." he spoke impatiently.
"Absolutely." the lady consented, a little afraid of Syaoran.

At the same time, Eriol was being hired as a salesperson for a sports company. His job is to sell sport products to different stores. He had a choice of being a secretary or salesman, so, naturally, he chose the salesperson. He had enough common sense to realize that a secretary is usually a woman's job. He asked Sakura if she wanted the job as a secretary, but, she, knowing that she's still a bit clumsy and quite messy, instantly declined the offer.
They left the building and drove all the way to the west side. They were at the east side at first. They drove to a building. The parked and walked into the building since there was a sign that said they needed help. Sakura and Eriol walked to the counter.
"Excuse me, could you tell me what jobs are available here?" Sakura asked the person behind the counter.
"There's only one more job available: a make-up artist. We need someone to get the singer prepared before he/she performs. Seeing the way you have applied you make-up, you could be a perfect make-up artist." the lady answered.
"Thanks. Sure, I'll take the job." Sakura accepted happily.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Just a little while before Eriol and Sakura arrived at the music company, Syaoran and Tomoyo left. They drove to the east and arrived at a sports building. Syaoran parked the car and went in with Tomoyo so she could apply for a job.
"Are there any jobs here that I could apply for?" Tomoyo asked the guy at the counter.
"Secretary." the guy answered simply.
Tomoyo thought for a while, "Umm..." Then, thinking that there probably wasn't gonna be another job to apply for, she said, "I'll apply for that."
"Okay." he replied simply again.
Tomoyo filled in the application form and left. Syaoran drove back and arrived at about the same time as Eriol and Sakura. Syaoran stepped out of the car, and, naturally, checked the car over for scratches before going inside. Eriol, on the other hand, didn't care about the car at all, and just went inside, even though there was a huge scratch on the side that he got when he almost crashed. The car got scratched by a tree. He ALMOST crashed into a tree, but was lucky enough to swerve to the left, right before it hit, but got the car scratched.
They watched TV once they got inside; since there was nothing else better to do. Besides, none of them start work until tomorrow. Sakura turned on the TV and watched the news since it was there. They knew that a big argument would break out if one of them changed the channels. They would start an argument over the remote control and none of them felt like arguing so they didn't bother changing the channels.
"Today, on Obaida Everyday New...Yesterday, an old lady found at the airport died of shock." the newsperson said as a picture appeared on the corner of the screen. (T/N: it was lylac's idea to have the lady die of shock)
"Hey! That looks like the lady that gave us directions." Tomoyo observed.
"It does." Eriol and Sakura said together. Syaoran didn't care at all so he didn't say anything.
"We have no apparent clue on what shocked the lady to death, but it must have been quite breath-taking." the guy reporting the news said.
"Ya know, she did look pretty shocked when you told her you knew THE Hizoru Hiiragizawa." Tomoyo commented to Eriol.
"Ya. But she didn't faint or anything. The news said she died at around 11:30. We already left by the time she got shocked, so it couldn't have been us." Eriol reasoned. (T/N: oh, but what they don't remember is that they left at about 11:27 or so)
"Hmmm...I guess you're right. Who knows what shocked her so badly." Tomoyo stated.
"Ya, who knows," Sakura agreed.
"And who cares?" Syaoran said coldly.
"Be nice, Syaoran." Sakura ordered.
"Whatever. This is boring. I'm going to my room."
Everyone else went to their room too, since they all thought the news was boring. Tomoyo turned off the TV and went upstairs to Sakura's room. She and Sakura were just gonna talk to pass time, since they had nothing else better to do. Tomoyo knocked on the door.
"Come in." Sakura yelled from inside her room.
"Hey Sakura!" Tomoyo greeted.
"Oh, hey Tomoyo."
"So...What do you wanna talk about?"
"I dunno, anything to keep me away from boredom."
"Umm...So...What kind of job did you apply for?"
"A make-up artist."
"Really! Where?"
"At this music company on the west side."
"Are you serious?"
"Ya. Why'd you ask?"
"Cause Syaoran's gonna work there too. He applied as a sound system person. This is gonna be great!"
"Huh? Why is it so great?"
"You know why, Sakura. You just won't admit it."
"Whatever. Anyways, what job did you apply for?"
"A secretary."
"Whoa! I thought I'd never see the day Tomoyo Daidouji work for someone. It was always people working for you."
"Shut up. People can change."
"Ya, anyways, where do you work?"
"At some sports company on the east side."
"Really! Oh my God! Eriol's working there as a salesperson. Aren't you so glad?"
"What! Why would I be glad?"
"Tomoyo...Tomoyo...Tomoyo...You know why, you just won't admit it. You like Eriol."
"No, I don't." Tomoyo said sheepishly.
"Whatever."
"Ya, I think I'm gonna go eat dinner."
"Same. Wait for me."
They both went downstairs to eat dinner. A little while after, Syaoran and Eriol came down as well. They had a peaceful dinner. Then, they all went upstairs and slept a couple hours later.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Okay. Now where are we all going to work?" Sakura asked, since the guys didn't know where the girl's worked.
"On the east side." Eriol and Tomoyo said in unison.
"Okay then, you two will take one car while Syaoran and I will take his car. You work in the west side, right, Syaoran?"
"Ya." he simply replied, blushing slightly at the fact that he and Sakura will be in the same car, but no one noticed him blushing.
They drove to work, or rather Syaoran drove himself and Sakura to work while Eriol drove Tomoyo and himself to work.
"So, uh, where exactly do you work?" Syaoran asked Sakura while driving.
"I don't know the name of the company but I remember what the place looks like, so I'll tell you when I see the place."
"Whatever."
They drove for a while. As the building was getting into view, Sakura said, "That one right there."
"Aw man, do you seriously work there?"
"Ya."
"Damn, I work there too." Syaoran said. Sakura just ignored his remark. Then Syaoran thought, 'Now I'm gonna be stuck with her. Shit! I might make a fool of myself in front of her. Damn, damn, damn, damn!'
Syaoran drove to the building and parked in the underground parking lot. He had to have his Ferrari in a safer place than the parking lot outside. He got out of the car when Sakura stepped out of the car. They walked into the building and asked the lady where they go to start work.
"You need to go to the second floor and just turn left. Then go in the room closest to your left." the lady said to Sakura. Then, to Syaoran, she said, "You will need to come with me and I'll introduce you to the manager and someone else who will teach you how to use the sound system."
So, Syaoran followed the old lady to an office somewhere on the main floor. He didn't really pay attention to where he was going, so he really had no clue where this office was. The lady opened the door.
"Good morning, Mr. Ishida. He has arrived. Mr. Ishida, meet Syaoran Li." the lady introduced.
"Hey man. Nice to meetcha." Syaoran said coolly.
"You may leave, Natashi." the guy known as Ishida said. "So you're the new sound system controller. And you say you're a fast learner." (T/N: I could never really imagine him speaking like this so let's say he's just pretending to sound "professional" since he's the manager and all)
"Ya huh."
"I see. Anyways, the name's Yamato." then Yamato pressed a button on the phone on the desk and said, "Send Koushiro in here."
"So, Mr. Ishida" Syaoran started but was cut off.
"I hate it when people go all formal on me. Just call me Matt."
"Matt!"
"Ya, it's short for Yamato."
"I see. So, uh, where exactly do I go to work on the sound system?"
"Koushiro will show you. He knows everything about the latest technology."
"What exactly is taking that dude so long?"
"Oh, he works on the tenth floor and our elevator is broken, so he'll have to go down, like, ten flights of stairs."
"Haha." Syaoran laughed.
"What's so funny?" a voice said.
"Hey Izzy." Matt said.
"Izzy!" Syaoran asked, and kinda, exclaimed.
"Oh ya, his Japanese name is Koushiro, but he doesn't like friends calling him that, so we call him Izzy, his English name." Matt explained.
"Oh."
"Well, what... (pant)...did you... (pant)call me (pant) for?" Koushiro asked in between pants.
"Ya know, for a guy who's supposed to know everything about the latest technology, you sure aren't very smart, because you should be able to fix the elevator." Syaoran commented.
"Be quiet. It's harder than you think." Izzy stated.
"Hey Izzy, I want you to take Syaoran here to the fourth floor and teach him how to use the sound system." Matt ordered.
"Okay. Follow me." Izzy instructed Syaoran.
"Whatever." Syaoran simply replied and followed Izzy out the door with his hands in his pocket.
'Hmm...I like his attitude. It's just like mine. Maybe he could join our not-yet-made band.' Matt thought after they left his office.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As Izzy was teaching Syaoran how to use the sound system, Sakura was roaming the hallways. Yes, she was lost. Then, she saw a figure coming her way. The figure had a slim body and elbow length hair. Sakura, seeing the body figure, knew it was a girl. As the girl got closer, Sakura could see her face more clearly.
"Hey! My name's Mimi. Mimi Tachikawa. Who are you?" the girl introduced when she saw Sakura.
"Hi! I'm Sakura. I'm new here and I kind of got lost."
"Sakura! You mean Sakura Kinomoto?"
"Ya. How'd you know?"
"Natashi told me. You're supposed to me working with me."
"Oh! Who's Natashi?"
"She's the lady at the counter. Ya know, the secretary."
"Oh."
"Follow me. I'll show you where you work."
"Okay."
Sakura followed Mimi to a room near the stairs.
"You'll be working with me in this room. You're the make-up artist, right?" Mimi asked.
"Ya."
"So all you have to do is apply make-up onto the person while I get an outfit ready for them."
"Okay."
They just cleaned up the room since no one was there. Sakura found out there was a huge closet filled with clothes. When someone came, she started to work on whatever she was supposed to.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Eriol had just met his boss Taichi Yagami. Eriol calls him Tai, though, since Tai hates being called Taichi. To him, it sounds more like an exercise than a name. (T/N: for those of you who don't know, tai chi is actually an exercise. it originated from china. Chinese ppl do it to exercise their mind and body. I know this for a fact because I'm Chinese.) Somehow, Eriol and Tai became good friends instantly. They practically think the same and do everything the same way. It was pretty natural that they become friends, since they have so much in common, including their stupidity.
Eriol also found out that Tomoyo worked in the same building he did. He smirked and did a little dance when he found out. (L/N: lol)
Tomoyo is having a little trouble being a secretary, but she's doing pretty good.
"Hey Syaoran!" Matt yelled out.
"Hey dude! Sup?" Syaoran greeted.
"Not much. So, how'd it go with the sound stuff?"
"Managed."
"I see. I have a question to ask you."
"What?"
"Do you play any instruments and, if you do, do you wanna join my band?"
"That's two questions."
"Whatever."
"Well, I can play the bass guitar, the electric guitar, the acoustic guitar, and the drums. And, in case you're wondering, I can sing too. As for your offer of joining your band, gimme some time to decide."
"Take as long as you need. By the way, nice car, a red Ferrari 360 Spider. Sweet."
"Thanks. If ya wanna go for a ride, gimme a call and I just might be nice enough to let you take her for a drive."
"Eh, dude, I don't have your phone number."
"Oh right. Give it to ya some other time. See ya."
"Later."
Both Matt and Syaoran got into their own cars and drove away, heading home. Syaoran started driving to Eriol's uncle's house.
"OH SHIT!" Syaoran swore, suddenly.
Instead of saying something, I'm gonna type down a conversation me (Tashina) and lylac had when we were at her house and when I was writing this chapter. we didn't even have the conversation out loud. she stole the scribbler from me and started writing so I wrote back to her and so on. now u can all read the conversation...
