Recap of Chapter one
He turned around and tried to smile friendly at her, which didn't turn out so good because he wasn't exactly a friendly person.
"Would you like some coffee Miko?"
She looked at him with an angry expression, "My name's Mina."
Damn…
Chapter 2: The Meeting
A few days after Syaoran found out about his new role on When Stars go Blue, he thought he might do some research on the show. He knew there was probably websites on some of the cast and when he checked the TV guide, he found out that the show was on tonight as well.
First he decided to go on the net. Sato had told him he would be playing opposite to an actress on the show named Sakura Kinomoto. He went to google and typed in her name into the search bar. When the results came up, he saw that there were many websites dedicated to her. Mostly with names like: sakurakinomotoonline, weluvsakura, ect… He couldn't believe that people would make so many websites for her. He didn't expect her to be THAT popular.
He decided to go with sakurakinomotoonline. There were pictures of her all over the place, message boards of people saying how talented she was and how hot, lists of things she acted in, appearances she made, her age, a biography, all that stuff you'd find on a fan page.
He then clicked on photos and saw pictures of her that he guessed were from off the show, movie premiers, teen choice awards, and a couple movies she was in. He took his time to look at her face.
"She's pretty easy on the eyes…" he mumbled to himself. He had to admit, she was pretty, and he wouldn't mind having to play her boyfriend, but he couldn't see them going any further then being co-stars.
He thought about looking at her biography, but thought against it. Why should he care that some obsessed fan decided to find out her entire life's story so far? The information was probably wrong anyways.
He did though; look at her character in the show. He now knew that her characters name was Yoshe Tatsua.
"Well," he sighed to himself exiting the page. "That's all I really needed to know." And he got up from the computer chair to go and meet some friends.

Sakura was walking around a mall with Tomoyo Daidouji. They had never really been friends even though they were friends on set. They shared the occasional greeting now and then, but weren't really the best of friends.
None of the girls were actually really close. They just worked together, that was it. The way Sakura saw it was, Tomoyo was the one to call when you were bored and wanted to go to the mall 'mostly because she knew all the good stores', Naoko was the one to talk to if you liked to talk about a good book or movie 'because she and Naoko were really the only cast members that actually read and watched lots of movies', Rika was the one to go out to parties with 'cause she was the one who seemed to know where all the hottest spots were', and Chiharu was just one to sit and talk with during scenes. She only hung out with TV friends when she needed something to do. Naoko and Chiharu were probably the only ones that were actually really close in real life.
Tomoyo was now dragging her all around the mall trying to find good boutiques and talking about a guy she met a few weeks ago. Sakura could careless, but being the nice person she was, listened to everything she was saying.
"He's really cute and I invited him over tonight but he's bringing his best friend along because he wants me to know some of his friends but I don't want to be all alone when he brings him…" Tomoyo trailed off.
"So tell him not to bring him." Sakura said flatly.
"Oh I couldn't do that. That would be rude!" Tomoyo exclaimed. Clearly outraged at Sakura's idea.
"Then just deal with it then," Sakura told her getting annoyed with the conversation.
"Actually, I had a different idea…" Tomoyo said unfazed by Sakura's tone.
"Really?" Sakura asked raising an eyebrow.
"I was thinking that maybe someone could come over and help me by keeping his friend company?" Tomoyo asked looking at Sakura expectantly.
"Me?" Sakura asked confusedly and unconsciously pointed to herself.
"Well now that you're offering…" Tomoyo grinned, "Sure! You can help me!"
"What? Tomoyo, I wasn't offering! And why me!" Sakura yelled.
"Well you're here right now, and you're always up for doing favours, and out of all the girls on cast, I like you the best…"
"What about your other friends? Ones that aren't on the show," Sakura asked desperately trying to find a way out.
"I asked them and they're all busy tonight. And other's I just wouldn't trust for this sort of thing. Please?" Tomoyo asked begging now.
"But-but-what FINE!" Sakura said giving in.
"Thank you!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "You have no idea how much this means to me Sakura!"
"Whatever…" Sakura groaned. "You owe me big time."
"Okay, so come to my apartment around 6:00, they're coming around 7:00, okay?"
"Okay…" Sakura mumbled. Tomoyo smiled as they continued to walk around the mall.

Syaoran was now back at his apartment at 6:00. His best friend had roped him into coming with him to his new chicks house. He had no idea why he would want him to go, but he had tricked him and he now had no choice.
"I guess I won't be seeing that show tonight," he mumbled knowing that he would probably be out at this girl's house when it was on. "Oh well, there's always next week…"
Just then there was a knock at his door. He sighed knowing who it was. His friend was here to bring him to that girl's house. He still didn't even know her name. He never said who she was. He had said it was a surprise for when he got there. Like he cared.
He opened the door and there was his best friend Eriol Hiirigazawa standing there.
"Ready to go?" he asked smiling. That was the problem with Eriol… he was always smiling.
"Yup, let's go." Syaoran said grabbing the stuff he needed. Shoes, jacket, and money…in case he had to leave because he couldn't stand it there and have to get a cab.
"We'll probably be early, but that'll be okay," Eriol said trying to keep a conversation.
"Great," Syaoran said not really caring as long as they could get this thing over with.
"Alright, so let's get there then…"
"Yeah, let's."

Sakura had gotten to Tomoyo's at 6:00 on the dot. She wasn't usually punctual, but since she didn't want to do this she thought, the earlier I come, the earlier I leave.
She knocked on the door and Tomoyo answered almost right away.
"SAKURA! There you are!" she exclaimed pulling Sakura into the apartment.
Sakura looked around and saw that the apartment was a mess. "Whoa…Tomoyo, it looks like a tornado hit here…"
"I know… I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to clean! Please help me clean?"
"Tomoyo…you've had all day to clean…"
"Well you see…I started to clean, but I had the TV on and this TV movie came on… and well… I really wanted to watch it and I kinda got addicted."
Sakura stared at her for a minute before finally speaking, "I see…"
"Now you've got to help me! I can't have people think I live in this!" Tomoyo said gesturing to the mess in the room.
"Technically you do live in it." Sakura pointed out.
"But they don't need to know that!" Tomoyo shouted.
"Okay, okay, let's get this over with." Sakura sighed. They then started to clean.
After about half an hour they were done. Sakura thought she now needed a shower.
"Phew, thanks Sakura. It looks so much better now." Tomoyo sighed.
"No problem, Umm…Tomoyo could I take a shower? I feel kinda gross after all that cleaning."
"Oh, yeah, sure. You know where it is. I was thinking about having one too, maybe I'll just change into something else."
"Oh Tomoyo, you don't have to do that, you can take the shower instead." Sakura offered.
"No, it's okay. You weren't even supposed to be cleaning." Tomoyo reassured her.
"Okay…" Sakura said, still a bit unsure. She then walked towards the bathroom making sure there were some towels in there first.
Right after the water to the shower turned off; there was a knock on the door. Tomoyo knew who it was and ran to the door.
There standing in the doorway was a man with black hair that looked blue in the right light with thin wire glasses and sapphire coloured eyes standing next to another man with messy chestnut coloured hair and amber eyes.
"Eriol!" she said excitedly wrapping her arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Hey Tomoyo," Eriol said once she pulled away. "This is my best friend Syaoran Li, Syaoran, this is Tomoyo Daidouji" Eriol said gesturing over to Syaoran.
"Nice to meet you," Tomoyo said looking over at Syaoran.
"Likewise," Syaoran said half-heartedly.
"Well come in." Tomoyo moved out of the way to let them in. "My friend just got out of the shower so she'll be joining us soon."
The guys nodded. A few seconds later there was a loud scream coming from the bathroom.
Tomoyo went running to the door and started shouting, "Sakura! What's going on? Why are you screaming?"
The door came bursting open as Sakura came running out in a towel. "There's a spider in there! I hate spiders!" Sakura started screaming.
"What? A spider!" Tomoyo yelled just as scared. "Eriol! Go and get rid of it!"
Eriol sighed and mumbled something under his breath before he went to go and get rid of the spider while Syaoran stared at the girl standing there in a towel.
When Tomoyo said Eriol, Sakura immediately looked over to where she was yelling and was horrified to find out that two guys were standing in the living room and were looking at her in a towel. All she could do was stand there while the one she figured was Eriol walked past her into the bathroom followed by Tomoyo.
Sakura and Syaoran were now standing in the room together. Sakura still standing there horrified and Syaoran smirking at her. "Nice outfit." He said while his eyes traveled up and down at her.
Sakura's mouth dropped open and took a little while to say a comeback. To bad she couldn't think of any at the moment. "Jerk!"
"How am I a jerk? I simply complimented on what you're wearing." Syaoran still continued to smirk.
"We-well at least turn away!" Sakura said embarrassed.
"Now why would I want to do that?" Syaoran asked innocently. "I don't have a problem with what I'm looking at."
"Well I have a problem that you're looking at me."
"Well I guess it's too bad for you then huh?" Syaoran continued to bother her.
Just then Tomoyo and Eriol came out of the bathroom. "We got it." Tomoyo said relieved.
"What was the big deal? It was just a little thing," Eriol questioned.
Sakura glared at Syaoran before she turned to Eriol and Tomoyo and said stubbornly. "I'm deathly afraid of spiders." And walked back into the bathroom to get changed. When she came back out she stormed over to the door and shouted, "I'm leaving! Nice to meet you guys, see you later Tomoyo." She said through gritted teeth and walked out the door.
"What did you say to her?" Tomoyo questioned Syaoran after a few moments of silence.
Syaoran got up and headed for the door to leave as well. "She just couldn't take a bit of teasing. It was nice to meet you, but I think I should be going. Don't worry Eriol, I'll catch a cab." And with that, he walked out the door. Where Sakura was long gone.
"Bye…" Eriol and Tomoyo said at the same time.

Syaoran paid the cab and got back to his apartment. He thought he would be able to catch a glimpse of that show tonight after all. That Sakura girl that was at Tomoyo's place really didn't seem to like him that much. She really couldn't take being teased. He found it really funny.
He switched the TV and flipped it too the channel where When Stars go Blue was on. He got there right when the opening theme came on. He listened as the song When the Stars go Blue, by Tyler Hilton and Bethany Joy Lenz started playing as the names started to flash across the screen. He froze at first when he saw Tomoyo's name and face show up. "She's on that show?"
He then watched further until he saw the name and face of Sakura Kinomoto go across.
"That was towel girl…" he whispered to himself.
Why hadn't he noticed it before? Tomoyo had called her Sakura, and he had seen her in pictures earlier that day. He just hadn't recognized her when she was wet and had no make-up on.
"It's going to be interesting when we start filming…" he thought to himself.
