Recap of Chapter 2…
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.
Chapter 3: Girl From Mars
It was now time to start filming the third season and Sakura was just getting out of her car. She was curious to who the guy who was joining the cast was. She had gotten a call from Masahiro about a week ago telling her his name was Syaoran Li, but that was all she knew.
She saw Tomoyo getting out of her car in the parking lot and decided to say hi. They hadn't talked much since the whole apartment incident. She walked over to Tomoyo and greeted her.
"Hey Tomoyo," she said with a smile.
"Hey Sakura," Tomoyo greeted back. The two then started to walk into the building together. "How have you been?"
"Alright I guess, how about you?" Sakura answered. She wanted to ask her if she was still seeing that guy but she couldn't remember his name. "Are you still seeing that Egg Roll guy?"
Tomoyo gave her a look before answering, "His name is Eriol Sakura, and yes I am."
Sakura looked down sheepishly, "Sorry, you know I'm bad with names."
"I know," Tomoyo rolled her eyes, "You gave him a name of a food instead of the name of a human."
"Well doesn't his name sound close to that? I mean listen: Eriooool Egg Rooooooll," Sakura tried to reason. "See! Sounds similar!"
"Well I guess you have done worse right?" Tomoyo asked hopefully.
"Oh yeah, when I first moved to a new town when I was fourteen I kept forgetting all my new friends names and called everyone Andrew even though most of them were girls."
"Nice…" was the only thing Tomoyo could say at the moment.
"I know," Sakura smiled.

Syaoran had gotten to work early that day. He was pretty excited to be starting work today. He wasn't interested in making a bunch of friends but he was excited to start earning his paycheck. When he had gotten there, Masahiro had told him that he was going to be sharing a trailer with another one of the shows stars. Some guy named Akira Obayashi, he was supposed to play Taro or some other character.
Masahiro was showing him around telling him where everything was. To tell the truth, he was getting pretty bored.
"And here was have the Break Room," Masahiro showed him a room with worn couches, a coffee maker, and a big screen TV. He could tell that they didn't really care much for the room.
"I see," was all he said. It was pretty much the only thing he had said during the whole tour.
"Yup," was all Masahiro said. "Now I'll show you the Trailers and that will be it."
"What a shame," was Syaoran's reply.
"I know, I've been enjoying myself. If I hadn't become a director I would have become a Tour Guide," Masahiro told him seriously.
"Wouldn't the paycheck be a lot smaller then?" Syaoran asked him looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Well yeah…" Masahiro said after awhile.
"Be pretty hard to make a living off a job like that," Syaoran told him while they started to walk over to the trailers.
"I guess… good thing I did become a director then!" Masahiro said happily.
Syaoran just looked at the older man and rolled his eyes. They were now by the trailers.
"Okay now here are the trailers, as I already told you, you will be sharing one with Akira Obayashi, he plays Taro Saito," Masahiro stopped to listen to a reply.
"I remembered," Syaoran, told him hopping this would be over soon.
"Anyways, the first trailer is Kaho Mizuki's, she plays Kaori Nakamura. Just so if you don't know, she's the older woman with the red hair."
"Mentally noted."
"And next we have Yukito Tsukshiro, he plays Botan Nakamura. He's married to Kaho in the show."
"The last name could have helped."
"Anyays here we have Tomoyo Daidouji's, she plays Azami Nakamura. She's the girl with th-"
"I already know Tomoyo."
"Oh really? Well over here we have Sakura Kinomoto's, she plays Yoshe Tatsua. She's the one you're going to play opposite of."
"That's nice."
And the tour continued like that.

The cast was all gathered in the Break Room waiting for filming to start. They were all in a deep conversation about what the 'New Guy' was like.
"I heard he was on some show on Broadway," Naoko told them.
"So what? Does that mean he does like singing and dancing then?" Chiharu asked.
"Well he's not going to be doing that on this show." Kaho stated.
"I know nothing about this guy," Yukito told them all.
"All I know is his name is Syaoran Li," Sakura told them all.
"How do you know that?" Rika asked her.
"Masahiro called me and told me his name, said he was pretty talented."
"Makes sense."
"Hey Sakura," Tomoyo spoke as the name rung a bell in her head. "That's the name of Eri-"
"Meet your new cast member!" Masahiro yelled interrupting Tomoyo. Everyone's attention turned to him at the entrance of the room. "Everyone this is Syaoran Li. He's going to be playing Niito Tanaka."
Everyone was staring at Masahiro where a young male stood beside him with messy chestnut hair and amber eyes. They all said their greetings not getting up from their seats. All except Sakura who was staring at the familiar face standing next to her boss. All that was running through her mind was 'I'm stuck playing opposite of him!'
"Okay everyone! It's time to start setting up for filming, you've all studied your lines right?" Masahiro asked.
"Yes!" everyone chorused together. They were used to this, Masahiro asked it everyday while they were filming.
"Good, and I see you have all already gotten your clothes and makeup done so we can get started," Masahiro said happily.
Everyone started moving around the room doing their own business getting ready for the filming when Sakura finally decided to go up and talk to Syaoran. She approached him while he wasn't even looking at her. He was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed because he had nothing better to do.
"Why is that out of all the possible people that auditioned YOU are the one I'm stuck playing opposite with?" she said the minute she walked up in front of him.
"Small world isn't it?" Syaoran said sarcastically.
"Don't give me the small world crap! I can't believe you have to play my potential boyfriend," Sakura said bitterly.
"Like I said, small world Towel Girl," Syaoran smirked when he saw the angry expression on her face when he called her that.
"The name is Sakura Kinomoto," she said before turning around and walking away.
Syaoran shrugged, he could careless about what she thought of him. It wasn't his fault the first day he met her she was wearing nothing but a towel.

Sakura was sitting in the Break Room sitting with Chiharu. They both weren't in the next few scenes so they decided to let themselves get into a conversation. Rika was sitting with them also but she was in the next scene so she wouldn't be there for long. Syaoran was standing on the other side of the room ignoring everybody.
(A/N I thought I should warn you first…this is a real conversation that happened between me and one of my best friends Brannan… it works like this the things Sakura says are what I said and the same thing with Chiharu and Brannan…and instead of Rika it was Tiffany) "Hey Sakura," Chiharu started off. "Do you think it would be a good idea to mate Rika with a bunny?" she asked out of nowhere making Rika look at her like she was crazy.
Right when Sakura was about to respond Rika spoke up, "No way!"
Chiharu sighed and looked at Sakura depressed, "Never mind. She rejected the idea."
"Awe," Sakura whined, "I was hoping we could call the babies Rinnies!" Rika looked at them like they were nuts before she stood up and headed to her next scene. Syaoran rolled his eyes at what some of the people he worked with now talked about.
"Yeah, I know!" Chiharu agreed.
"You know what that makes me think about?" Sakura asked.
"What? Explain it to me," Chiharu urged her on.
"If you mated a bulldog and a shitzu together, would it be called a bullshit?"
"Hey that's a good idea!" Chiharu looked at her like she was a genius. "We should try that some time!"
"I'll get the bulldog!" Sakura shouted right away.
"Then I guess I'll get the shitzu," Chiharu nodded her head.
"I'll name the bulldog Pugsly!" Sakura decided.
"And I'll name the shitzu…" Chiharu trailed off, "Spike?"
"But then they'd both be males!" Sakura shouted outraged.
"Ewh!" Chiharu realized what she just said. "How about Spikette?"
"Better!" Sakura clapped her hands to show she approved.
"Hey! We should try and mate our dogs Kero and Spinel!" Chiharu said.
Sakura made a face and shouted, "GROSS! They're both boys!"
"I was just kidding you idiot!" Chiharu said laughing at Sakura's expression.
"Phew…I thought you were serious for a minute," Sakura said relieved.
"Hehe nope," Chiharu smiled.
"And anyways it wouldn't work, Kero's fixed," Sakura told her.
"Yeah… same with Spinel," Chiharu nodded.
"You know what that makes me think about?" Sakura said now thinking about a different topic.
"Hmm?" Chiharu looked at her.
"Why do they call it getting your dog fixed when technically it doesn't work anymore?" Syaoran felt like hitting himself on the head listening to this conversation. These girls, one who he was playing opposite of on the show now, were idiots!
"That's so true!" Chiharu started laughing. "Instead of saying Spinel's fixed, I should be saying Spinel's broken."
Sakura laughed and nodded her head, "I know! Same with Kero. He's broken!"
Right when they were about to continue Masahiro came into the room and called over to them, "Sakura! Syaoran! It's your scene!"
"Okay! Bye Chiharu!" Sakura said when she stood up and headed out the door. Chiharu yelled bye to her back while Syaoran followed her out wordlessly.

Scene
Yoshe was sitting at her desk in the back of the classroom bored out of her mind. She was playing with her pencil, just twirling it around in her fingers when the teacher announced they had a new student. She looked at the front of the class and took a look at the guy. He was nothing special. Looked like the quiet type, but he wasn't bad looking. She shook her head and continued twirling her pencil.
She completely ignored her teacher introducing the guy and focused on the pencil. She started spinning it faster and faster. She was having trouble keeping it between her fingers, when all of a sudden it slipped out between them and flew up and hit her right in the head. (A/N actually happened to me…)
"You should watch where you're firing that thing, you can take out an eye," a voice all of a sudden spoke to her.
She looked to her right and saw the new guy now sitting beside her smiling, "Who are you?" she asked ignoring his comment from earlier.
"Niito Tanaka, I'm new here."
"Of course you are."
"So what's your name?" Niito asked trying to make conversation.
"Yoshe Tatsua," she said in a monotone.
"Well I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other this year huh?" he asked.
"Yeah… looks like it Bambi," she told him sarcastically.
"Excuse me?" he asked her confused.
"Don't think to much about it, I call lots of people Bambi… mostly those who look really innocent."
"Oh well I kind of should take that seriously because I lost my mother close to the same way Bambi lost his," Niito told her sadly.
"Oh my god! Are you serious? I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to say something like that to you! I didn't know!" Yoshe went on apologizing.
Then Niito started to chuckle at her, "You actually believed me? I was kidding!"
Yoshe took in a deep breath, "So you mean your mother-"
"Is still alive, she's a doctor."
"You really had me going there for a minute."
"Well I've always considered myself a good actor," Niito smiled at her.
"Hahaha," was the only thing Yoshe could say in return.

Sakura had decided to stop by the local music store on her way home. She was good friends with the owner because he was like a music encyclopaedia. Whenever she needed a band he knew exactly what she was looking for. She started looking through the racks and found exactly what she was looking for
She picked it up off the rack and turned around when she found herself bumping into someone. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" when she saw who she bumped into she stopped. "Oh, it's just you."
"Why Miss Kinomoto, I'm hurt! You were the one who bump into me!" Syaoran exclaimed sarcastically.
"Look, all I want is to pay for this CD, so just get out of my way," Sakura said through clenched teeth.
Syaoran moved his head so he could see the CD she had in her hand, "You listen to The Clash?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
Sakura held onto the CD protectively and replied, "Of course, they're only one of the best punk bands ever!"
"I wasn't saying they weren't," Syaoran answered back. "I listen to them too. They're actually one of my favourites."
"Hmm, you don't say," Sakura, said as she walked around him to go and pay for her CD.
Syaoran continued to look through the CDs when he heard Sakura say from the counter while her CD was being put in a bag, "Girl From Mars."
"What?" he asked her confused.
"The song... whose it by?" she asked.
He looked at her and smirked, "Ash." His smirk got bigger when he saw the shocked look on her face before she turned away and walked out of the store. 'She is a "Girl From Mars" herself.' He thought to himself once she walked out the door. He then found himself mumbling the words to the classic song by Ash.
"Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars?
I don't know if you knew that
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards
Henri Winterman Cigars
Though she never told me her name
I still love you, Girl From Mars"
TBC
A/N Hey I just edited the chapter and I had to mention the song Girl From Mars in here cause yeah... I like that song. I know some of you might not like Ash, but this song is one of the best from the older Ash days. A total classic. Anyways remember to Read and Review! Ciao!
