A/N: well now I am going to update… and ummm yeah too bad bout the review thingy! Grrr and I really hope that it will actually split the scenes like I always do but it never works GRRR
Tomoyo Sighed as she remembered her horrible past in high school, she sat down on her queen sized bed, which had a baby bluish cover, she looked out the window of her long island home, she was staring at her back yard, she looked to her left and looked at the red and white roses, they she looked to the right where there was white lilies, she looked in the middle at the cherry blossoms which reminded her of home and her best friend Sakura, she hasn't see her or anybody from Tomoeda in seven long years, she was planning on going back sometime this week so she could get started on planning Sakura's wedding like she promised her when they last talked on the phone. She tucked her raven hair behind her ear and looked down at the sketch book she was scribbling her dresses on for her job and for Sakura's bride's maid dresses, she got up and went downstairs in her light purple robe.
"Good morning Tomoyo," a lady in her mid fifties with white hair in a bun said as Tomoyo sat down on the chair she normally sat on every morning.
"Good morning Nana" She replied as she drank her juice.
"Hello Tomoyo," a little seven year old boy said as he looked at Tomoyo, Mathew who has straight hair, with same dark blue highlights and midnight blue eyes that went perfectly with its porcelain like skin, and he was also VERY energetic.
"Mathew I am your mother," Tomoyo said as she stared at the little boy in front of her.
"So," He answered in a shrug.
"So that mean you should have more respect and call her mom, because she can take you out of this world the same way she brought into this world," a nine year old girl, who had raven hair and emerald eyes said as she looked at her brother.
"I'd say more like she is a smarty mouth," Nana exclaimed smiling.
"I heard that, but I forgive you," the little girl said pointing at Nana.
"Melanie you are a doo doo head." Mathew said annoyed.
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not times infinity, times one million and the universe," Melanie said sticking her tongue out at her brother.
"Is it just me or do they sometimes act like they are not related?" Tomoyo asked as she looked at nana.
"Well, I am just going to sit here and pretend like I understand everything she says," Nana said as she scratched her head.
"You do that, and I am going to go and get ready for work, David said there is someone important I have to meet and is going to give us millions," Tomoyo said as she got up and walked upstairs.
"Mr. Hiragiizawa, I am really glad that you chose our company to do those designs for you," David a tall brown headed guy with light brown eyes, who was wearing a black business suit, said as he shook the guy's hand.
"Just show me that you deserve this job David," Eriol Hiragiizawa said with a smile.
"Well I have the right person for the job and I know that she is not going to disappoint you, she should be here any minute now," David replied as he served some coffee in a mug.
"Good idea, I just have to go and make a phone call real fast I'll be right back," Eriol said as he got up from the comfy lather couch and walked towards the door.
"Hey Tomoyo I have something for you," a blonde lady in her late twenties who occupied the secretary's desk in front of the office said as Tomoyo was about to open the door to the office, Tomoyo turned around and walked to the desk a few inches always from the door, Eriol came out just seconds after and walked towards the elevator.
"Hannah, I don't have time, David is going to kill me, I am already late," Tomoyo prodded her friend as she looked at her.
"I know, I know, look," Hannah said as she took out a magazine and handed it to Tomoyo, "This is the hot guy I was talking to you about."
"The second richest man in the world, Eriol Hiragiizawa has donated money to one of the refugee camps in Africa, and some say that he is planning on building a home for those that have nothing, and he is giving people with no jobs a job in his factory," Tomoyo read out loud, "Wow, he is actually generous and thinks about others," Tomoyo said silently.
"What?"
"Nothing, you know, I think is the ugliest man in the world," Tomoyo replied as she stuck her finger in her finger, pretending like she was about to puke, and handed the newspaper back to Hannah, "Now I have to go before I die."
"But-Buh…" Hannah started but it was too late, Tomoyo had already entered the office.
"David," Tomoyo said as she walked in.
"You are late," David replied as he pointed at his watch.
"I know, but I have a perfectly good excuse for it too," Tomoyo assured him as she smiled.
"Oh yeah, and what's that?" David asked laughing.
"The guy at Star buck gave me the wrong order and he wouldn't change it, he was such a jerk," Tomoyo answered smiling.
"Pathetic," David said laughing.
"You still Love me, so don't start with me," Tomoyo exclaimed.
"TOMOYO, my friend we are going to keep getting richer and richer, I just got us a great deal," David burst out happily.
"Uh…Mr. rich guy, your deal is going to have to wait, because my best friend is getting married and I am planning everything, so I am going to be away fro three months or so, and these things take a lot of t-" Tomoyo started but was interrupted by David.
"Tomoyo, this is a deal we can't turn down," David whined.
"And I am going to Japan so great day," Tomoyo replied as she got up.
"Maybe you didn't hear me, THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!" David shouted really loud.
"Of course I heard you," Tomoyo said as she looked at him smiling.
"And?" David asked as he made a puppy face.
"And I am going to Japan," Tomoyo said as she walked towards the door.
"You can't do this, what am I suppose to tell this guy?" David Complained.
"Tell him to wait three months," Tomoyo shrugged.
"And if he says no," David gasped.
"Work you magic David you know how to handle these things," Tomoyo replied as she smiled, she walked out of the office and towards Hannah's desk to ask her something, just as Eriol was getting out of the elevator and walked towards the office.
"David bad news, I have to go on away a friend of mine is getting married, and I was wondering if this could wait three months or so," Eriol said as he looked at David.
"Um there is no problem Mr. Hiragiizawa," David replied.
"Great, I'll call you when I get back," Eriol said as he left.
"Mummy, Mummy I can't find...what's my doggie's name again?" Mathew asked as he walked into his mom's room.
"Rex," Tomoyo said laughing at her four year old son.
"Ooh I knew that," Mathew said going back outsides Tomoyo's room.
"Anyway mummy, mummy I can't find Rex anywhere," he said running to Tomoyo's room again.
"Honey he is probably outside," Tomoyo told him sweetly.
"Ooh," he said with a big O on his mouth, and then there was a big pause.
"Mummy, why are you packing?"
"I told you a hundred times, honey we are going to Japan," Tomoyo said laughing.
"Ooh," Mathew said trying to get on his mother's bed
"What's Japan?" Tomoyo fell (anime stile)
"Honey Japan is the country that mommy is from," she said folding a shirt.
"Ooh," Mathew said "what's a country?"
"Honey go pack your things" Tomoyo replied laughing.
"Ok," he said leaving her room, five minutes later he came back "mummy, what am I suppose to pack?"
"Anything" she answered.
"Oh ok," he said going back to his room, but just in case Tomoyo followed him, "Oh Rex there you are," Mathew said putting the Crocker Spaniel puppy in his suit case.
"What are you doing?" Tomoyo asked surprised as she walked up to her son and took the puppy out of the suitcase.
"You said I can pack anything," he answered with an adorable baby face, Tomoyo just stared at him and started laughing.
"Mom, I am not going," Melanie said as she walked into the room.
"What do you mean?" Tomoyo asked as she looked at her daughter.
"I am not going to Japan I am staying here," Melanie replied as she sat on her brother's bed.
"Um, no you are going, even if I have to drag you over there you are going," Tomoyo demanded.
"Fine," Melanie replied as she rolled her eyes and walked to her room and started packing.
Sakura was excited she was at the airport, with Sonomi Tomoyo's mom waiting for Tomoyo to come, it has been seven years since they've seen each other, Tomoyo's plane came four minutes later Sakura noticed a raven haired woman come out of gate C.
"THERE SHE IS," sakura shouted as she started to wave and to jump up and down, Tomoyo saw a honey haired woman next to a woman with brown hair waving and jumping at her.
"SAKURA, MOM!" she said as she ran up to them.
"Tomoyo, it's been a long time," sakura said crying as she hugged her best friend.
"I know," Tomoyo answered hugging her friend back.
"Tomoyo," Sonomi said crying as she hugged her daughter.
"Mom," Tomoyo said crying and hugging her mom.
"Women always crying over anything," Mathew said popping out of nowhere and shaking his head.
"WHO IS THAT?" Sakura asked surprised.
"Mummy, who is that?" Mathew asked.
"Hey I asked first," sakura whined as she looked at the little boy.
"So she is my mummy," Mathew said, when Sonomi heard this she fainted Tomoyo got down and held her mom before she hit the ground, and taking some alcohol that she kept in he bag for emergency, and put it on her mom's nose, Sonomi woke up she was in shock that she couldn't say anything.
"Don't worry, sakura, I'll explain everything on the way home," Tomoyo said When they got to the car Mathew and sakura were arguing over who gets to sit on the window.
"I am getting the window," Mathew said.
"Oh no you, don't I am getting the window," sakura said looking down at Mathew who was looking up at her.
"Nope, me getting the window," Mathew said.
"Why do you have to get the window?" sakura complained.
"Because I am small, and I am cuter," Mathew said "why do you have to get the window?"
"Because I am big and I can" sakura said.
"Well I have an idea, none of you are getting the window I am," Tomoyo said getting in the car the two people that were arguing looked at Tomoyo with puppy eyes.
"Hey wait a minute, I can still sit by the window I ca sit on my mummy's lap," Mathew said happy and getting on his mom's lap.
"I wanted the window," sakura mumbled folding her arms.
"Okay, this, this is just pathetic fighting over who gets a window, come on people I have things to do," Melanie burst out as she got in the car.
"Sakura there is another window over there," Tomoyo said pointing to the other window.
"Oh yeah I knew that," Sakura said, sticking her tongue at Mathew, all the way home Tomoyo explained to her mom and sakura everything
When they got to Sakura's house sakura and Mathew were arguing once again "No you get the milk and I get the soda," Mathew said trying to get the soda from sakura.
"No you have the milk and I have the soda besides I think that's too much sugar gets you hyper" Sakura said sticking her tongue out.
"You big fat meanie," Mathew said also sticking out his tongue.
"I am not a meanie, you are" sakura said.
"NO I am not, I am very cute and adorable, and you are an ugly kajin," Mathew said.
"Don't call me that," sakura whined as she looked at him.
"Sakura please don't tell me that you are having an argument with a seven year old" Syaron said as sakura sat on the chair.
"But he started it," sakura said pointing at the small boy.
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Did not."
"Sakura please stop it and who is he anyways?" Syaron asked pointing to the small boy.
"Me Mathew, Mathew," Mathew said proudly pointing to himself.
"Hey, you are the dude from the picture in my mom's room," he said pointing to Syaron.
"Mathew it's not polite to point," Tomoyo said to her son.
"Sowie mummy" he said looking down.
"MOMMY!" yelled Syaron
"You better sit down Syaron it's a LONG story" sakura said to her fiancé.
"Mom, can we go to the fair?" Melanie asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"Honey not now maybe later," Tomoyo answered as she looked at her daughter.
"Okay wait I understand about him where he came from, but where does she get the mom from?" Sakura asked as she pointed at the nine year old girl.
"Don't worry about it Sakura," Tomoyo said as she sipped some of her coffee.
