From...
The...
Start... ?!
"STUPID VOICES!!" Cherry yelled in frustration. "I can't bear it anymore. I'm going for a DNA test!"
"Cherry?! Cherry, are you alright?" A familiar voice sounded in Cherry's ears, and she realized it to be Tomoyo.
"Yo..." Cherry smiled, "Sup?"
"Cherry, you're mumbling in your sleep!" Tomoyo said worriedly. "We were friends from when I found you lying on the ground after that plane accident, and gave you refuge, but never have you mumbled in your sleep before!?"
"Ugh," Cherry whispered, annoyed, "Tomoyo, just 'cause I live with you doesn't mean I can't mumble."
"I know, I'm sorry." Tomoyo apologized.
"No, no, I'm the one that should be sorry. Lately, I'm just really bothered by Syaoran and Sakura Kinomoto and everything. I really think that I am Sakura." Cherry sighed.
"Really? In what ways?" Tomoyo asked concernedly.
"Well, in a lot of ways," Cherry paused, "such as remembering her past and standing up to bullies—things like that."
Tomoyo nodded. "So, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know..." Cherry said in confusion, can you tell the teacher I'm sick today while I go for a DNA check?"
"Sure," Tomoyo smiled, "you comin' to the dance tonight?"
"Yeah," Cherry gestured, "I'm not so worried about that... Just that I don't have a dress..."
"No need to worry!" Tomoyo laughed secretly as she approached Cherry's closet and opened it- "Ta da! Your prommy dressie!!"
"WOW!!!" Cherry widened her eyes as she observed a pink spaghetti- strapped cocktail dress with hot pink roses framed around the trims. "It's soooo beautiful!!"
"Not to worry, Sakura, my princess, I've got everything ready to go for you!" Tomoyo grinned.
"OOH I LOVE YOU TOMMY!!" Cherry gasped as she hugged Tomoyo tight and strode down stairs. "See you tonight!"
"Yeah, see you!" Tomoyo called after. What if she is Sakura Kinomoto?

"Well? Who am I?" Cherry asked impatiently as a tall blonde doctor came into the room.
"WELL?!"
"Miss Kura, from our results-and we have tested this three times to make sure that it is correct, you are—"

Syaoran looked around nervously in his black tuxedo, and entered the dance hall alone. Everyone was there—girls, boys, pairs, jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, geeks, punks, Goths—you name it—everyone except Cherry Kura. Syaoran scanned across the hall in anxiety while all eyes locked in him, wondering who would be going with the hottest guy in school.Syaoran searched high and low for a shadow of Cherry, but found nothing. As he saw Tomoyo coming in with his best friend Eriol (who didn't tell him that he's going with Tomoyo), he strode up directly to her, and asked, "Where the hell is Kura?"
"Cherry?" Tomoyo widened her eyes, "she should be here! I mean, today she went to the doctor-"
"Doctor? What doctor? Is she sick or something?" Syaoran asked concernedly.
"No, as in a DNA doctor?" Tomoyo said obviously. "That's why she wasn't at school today. I have no idea where she is now."
Syaoran nodded, and walked away. Where is—
"I'M HERE!!!" A loud voice called from the entrance. Cherry Kura stood in the grand staircase smiling at Syaoran, wearing her pink dress with a diamond necklace and earrings, and walked down the stairs gracefully, looking ever as beautiful. The whole school turned to her, gasping, and whispering, "Wasn't that the girl that criticized Li's way with women? Why's she clinging onto him now?"
As Cherry walked towards Syaoran, he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Cherry smiled, and led him onto the dance floor.
"I've been waiting for you," Syaoran said smiling.
"I've been crying." Cherry sighed.
"Why? Is everything alright?" Syaoran asked concernedly.
Cherry shook her head. She was in a whirl state of serious confusion, and she rested her head on Syaoran's shoulder. "I'm sorry I didn't love you before, Syaoran," she started.
"Oh, that's okay. Before I was a real jerk to girls—hold on—you love me?!!" Syaoran gasped.
"I'm sorry I didn't love you when we were small... I thought I did, you were my best friend, I couldn't love you—all I could do was to kiss you and cherish you in my heart—even though you loved me... The feeling, the cherish in my heart, was to never go away... and it didn't. For a while, I couldn't remember the past, but now I do. I love you now, Syaoran." Cherry whispered.
"What? What nonsense are you babbling about?!" Syaoran asked in confusion.
"I'm sorry that I forgot about you for ten years. It wasn't supposed to happen. We were supposed to be together, to be forever, to never be forgotten-" Syaoran placed his hand on Cherry's lips.
"You are Sakura Kinomoto, right?" Syaoran asked gently.
Cherry gazed into his eyes.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM?!!!" A voice cut in as it pushed Cherry aside, making her fall onto the ground.
Syaoran went to help Cherry, and said angrily, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT TO HER?!!" As his flashing eyes met the other, he gasped.
A black-haired, ruby-eyed girl with a red top and jean shorts stood in his way, smirking proudly. "Surprise, Syaoran..."
"Meiling..."
A/N: Yeah, evil I AM! Dun worry, it won't ruin the plot! But he'll have to deal w/ her 1st!! yay!! Yeah... well... it's a lil confusin but send ur questions anywayz!
