Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captors, but I may own some of the answers cos she totally stole my birthday and like my whole personality so yeah.
Now, in return for me updating this lovely fic, I would like you all to check out my under appreciated story More Than You Think You Are, which seems to me to be starving for attention. Once I reach about ten reviews on it, I will put up the next chapter of MTYTYA, which is of course the Sakura/Syaoran chapter which I'm sure you would be looking forward to if you only took the time to enjoy it.
With that said, I now begin the fic.
Not What You Think – Missed Meaning
TELL US ABOUT YOU
What time is it? 3.25pm, I really do love these flexible hours. It's like the only perk with owning your own business aside from the fact that you own your own business and get to boss others around.
Name: I'll never tell, I'll never tell.
Nicknames: don't have any, yup, none what-so-ever – glances at people nervously -
Parent's Names: Sinomi and Kojrou
Siblings: Don't have any but, me and Saku here are practically sisters if only we could convince our parents to let us adopt one another. We tried when we were twelve, didn't go too well.
Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake: 21, and unlike you I actually had 21 candles. Problem was some moron thought it would be funny to put trick candles instead. And just so you know Eriol, it's not.
Date that you regularly blow them out (birthday): that is just so un-economical; I mean why they don't just ask one simple question rather than splitting it into two. It's as if they're just trying to make this torture longer than it already is. Oh right my birthday. The correct answer would have to be September 3rd NOT the 17th - Eriol again.
Pets: Two Labrador's. One is a blonde named Pixie Caramel (Pixie for short) and the other is a Black Lab named Charcoal (Charmie for short). And I can't forget Larkspur, my rabbit even though she did run away a few weeks ago.
Height: 5'6" how sweet it is to be taller than Saku.
Eye colour: Two things, firstly Saku your eyes are Emerald just as mine are a delicate mixture of Sapphire and Amethyst. Secondly, monogamy should be a colour! It is the one and only true brown and I'll be damned if no one else recognizes it cos you know who makes up the colours? That's right, the fashion designers of this world . . . and Faber Castell.
Piercing: ears for now but I really am thinking about maybe getting my belly button pierced, or maybe a tattoo around there. I'll get back to you on that one.
HAVE YOU EVER...?
Had the drink Calypso Breeze? No
Been in love? Well there was Ashley and Ben and Michael and Phil . . . oh right the answer to this is supposed to be Eriol, isn't it?
Been toilet-papering? Not since the mishap with the shaving cream. I mean really, how was I to know the difference, I was only ten!
THE FUTURE:
School: just a couple more years here at CSM and I will never have to go to school again. Thank god.
Where You Want To Live: I almost want to stay here, I mean London can be so beautiful and the rest of this place is amazing but I just miss you all so much that I would give anything to be back in Tomeada with you all. This reminds me Saku. Eriol and I are coming to see you once our semesters over and I command you to have fun this time even if it means taking those books of yours hostage until you give in.
How Many Kids You Want: Two and half, an average sized family.
Girl names: Erie, Sapphire, Lisette, Anya, Emilie, Nícole, Melody, Scarlet and Rebecca. I really do worry if being in Europe is getting to me; there isn't a single Japanese name on my list of girl's names. Worse still there doesn't seem to be a Saku Junior on my list.
Boy names: Satoshi (finally something Japanese), Daniel, Ayden, Zachary, Elijah and Brighton
What Kind Of Job You Want: I have my dream job, I get to make clothes, dress Saku up in them and film her wearing them and I get paid for it. Then I get to dress other people up and film and photograph them and what not too. Could my job be any better?
You Want To Get Married: of course, but I guess we're all still waiting for something to happen.
WHO:
Makes you laugh The Most: That would have to be you Saku. There really is something ever so 'kawaii' about you sometimes my dear. Like a sort of jai ne se quoi air that follows you around, darling!
Do You Go To For Advice or to talk About Things: Saku of course.
Who Do You Hate: oh god, there is this bitch in almost all of my classes who I simply can't stand. It's almost as though she goes out of her way just to piss me off and the worst part is that she's so damn good at it.
Knows the Most about You: Saku
Is Your Best Friend: Saku again. And you said I had a lot of mention. Really.
Has It Easier, Guys or Girls: Girls, of course. I really wonder sometimes if it's fair that our sex was blessed with brains, beauty and talent all in one go where as they have to make do with one or less.
WHICH ONE?
Croutons or Bacon Bits: It's so hard to choose. I mean, I really do like croutons and can't seem to understand the benefit of having bacon bits in soup or salad, only I've been really mad at the pigs ever since I read 'Animal Farm', and eating them seems the only way to get back at them. They killed Boxer!
2 doors or 4 (on a car): I would have to say three doors. What can I say, I like to be different.
Mr. Pibb or Dr. Pepper: chi.
Coffee or Ice-cream: how about coffee flavoured ice-cream, is that an option here?
Shampoo or Conditioner: both of course. You think hair like this just comes naturally? Some people!
Bridges or Tunnels: Tunnels. I mean it's so obvious that everyone favours tunnels. Have you ever heard of the Bridge of love or Bridge vision? Sure someone wrote a song about it over troubled waters and Clay sang it ever so well but one song does not make you the favourite here. And neither do two even if the second one is a Westlife song.
One pillow or two: two unless it falls behind my bed and I'm too afraid to get it cos I think there's a spider living under there and Eriol won't kill it for me cos he says there's nothing there when the truth is he's just too scared to check the big pussy.
Adidas or Nike: Nike, I like the pants.
Nike or Reebok: Nike, like I said, I like the pants.
Adidas or Reebok: Adidas, now let's get back to Nike pants.
WORD ASSOCIATION (FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND)
Rock: Rock 'n' Roll, it's really making a come back.
Green: Green sleeves, how very British of me though it's probably more to do with the fact that I had to sing it at that recital years ago.
Wet: Wet Wet Wet, some band that sang some songs that I don't entirely remember. Might have been the one about the lemon tree. Probably wasn't but I do love that song.
Cry: Cry Me River, what we've all been doing since Justin went solo. No really, it's the only one that I like of his.
Peanut Butter: and Jelly. Self explanatory really.
FAVORITES:
Salad Dressing: I'm going to have to go with Saku on this one. French dressing, there really is no substitute
Colour of socks: black, white or navy blue. Quite frankly I don't care as long as their knee high or ankle and nothing in between.
Memory: ok it would have to be when I got my first video camera and I made my first Saku video. It was called 'Tomoyo's first documentation of Sakura-chan'.
And speaking of memories I just remembered what Wet Wet Wet sing. You know that song, I think it was in strictly ballroom but probably wasn't. Anyway it goes 'Love is all around you, da da da duh da does . . . I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes . . .' ok so maybe I don't know the words.
Toothpaste: the gel whitening stuff
Food: I would have to say dumplings, the Japanese sort of course. I don't know what is wrong with them but these British sorry-excuse-for-a-dumpling balls of dough sure do make me miss good old Japan.
Song at the moment: Something Westlife, which has got to be my favourite thing about England. They really are amazing. My favourite right now is one of their older hits 'More Than Words'.
TV show: Pop Idol. God that Simon Cowell really does crack me up.
Toothbrush: electric sort.
Subject in School: This answer was a lot easier when we were in high school and we only choose two subjects. I really do love all my classes.
Flower: Sakura of course. Then there's Larkspur and Forget-me-not's and Lilies and Violets and Daisies and . . .
Colour: Violet, Lilac, Indigo, Mauve, Lavender, Plum, Wine, Amethyst, Maroon, Burgundy, Claret, and Sapphire. If you didn't realize it already, I'm kind of into the colour purple.
NON-ALOHOLIC DRINK: A vodka cruiser, minus the vodka. Actually it would have to an iced chocolate, or a mocha chino, or a frappe. Actually, make that anything Starbucks.
Sport to Watch: I'd have to say football, I mean some of these English players aren't all that bad looking, specially the Liverpool chap, number ten I think (A/N: reference to Michael Owen here, I would change it to New Castle, but I don't know if he's kept his number and I guess I just like to think of him in the red even though I was born and raised Evertonian). Now that is what I call a striker.
Country Song: Japan's duh!
Sesame Street Character: Cookie Monster
Disney Character: Simba and Nala from the Lion King, or maybe Aladdin and Princess Jasmine.
Warner Brothers: Wile E. Coyote, the Genius.
RANDOM QUESTIONS
When was your last hospital check in: had one just before I left Japan, I've heard bad things about some of these English doctors bedside manner.
Do You Drink: a glass of wine on special occasions, and a cocktail when we go out but other than that not really, I'm just a social drinker really.
How many times did you fail your permit and Drivers License Test: I failed five times and I am not ashamed to admit that. It didn't help that my teacher sat beside me throughout my lessons gripping the door handle till his knuckles were white (make that whiter than usual considering who we're all talking about) and praying that he wouldn't be injured. Some teacher you are Eriol.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years: ten years older than I am now.
Who is the last person that you got mail from before this one? Pop Idol official news letter. Can you believe the scandal that's going on? I swear if I hadn't read it with my own eyes I wouldn't have been convinced.
Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Not convicted per say.
Which single store would you choose to max your credit card? There's this wonderful store that I simply adore, it's called 'New Look' and it has some of the most fantastic clothes ever. I got the cutest little skirt with this lacy bit and some great tops to match.
What type of car you drive now? I'm living in London, what moron drives a car in London? It would take me longer just to get onto the road than it would for me to simply catch a train to wherever I want. The British transport system really is a gift from god compared to the state of some countries.
What do you do most often when you are bored? Draw, write music, songs, stories; you name it.
Name the person that you are friends with that lives the farthest away from you: Meilin, especially now that everyone is so much further away than usual.
Are You in A Gang or Club: Ok, I admit it. I'm a Claymate. Are you happy now?
What Is Your Favourite Kind Of Clothes: mine of course. And New Look, that place really is amazing.
Are you Close Minded: I guess when it comes to certain things I can be, but I've always been a little stubborn.
Are You Open Minded: Most of the time.
Are You A Player: Don't you think it's interesting that a guys a player and girls a slut? I mean, this is a very open minded question considering that the odds of the question being answered favour women. I find it almost liberating that it makes no distinction between the male and female in this question.
Can u be in love with 2 people at the same time? No, love is the sort of thing that only happens to you once unless you're really lucky and let's face it, most of us aren't and take what we can get.
Humiliating Moment: Not telling, I really don't want to subject myself to this kind of torture by reliving it.
Who do you think will respond to this fastest? Naoko, you're all we have left.
Who is the person you sent this to that is least likely to send back? Everyone but Naoko.
what time is it now: 4:00pm
who's most likely not going to read this: Meilin because she said she doesn't need to because she already knows everything there is to know about us.
goals for this year: to get to Japan more often and figure out who sings the lemon tree song. It's simply unbelievable, we all know the words but nobody knows who wrote it.
Sakura giggled as she finished reading her best friends answers to the wonderful quiz she had sent about a day ago. She had laughed so hard at points she was actually considering forgiving her for calling her Saku so many times in the one quiz.
Actually, she was quite thankful that it hadn't been longer or that would have been really annoying.
She sighed as she leaned back in her chair as she scrolled through her Messenger contact list to see if anyone interesting was online. There didn't seem to be any names that she actually recognized online and some of the peoples names scared her off.
Kero yelped happily at her feet striving for her attention as he pulled on her pant leg.
"Let me guess," she sighed looking at the puppy, "you want to go for a walk?"
Kero barked excitedly at the sound of his absolute favourite four letter word, well next to ball of course, and maybe food but he wasn't particularly partial to any of the three words.
"Ok Kero," she told him as she grabbed his lead and headed to the door. "Walkies it is."
She hooked Kero onto his leash and strode out the door too soon to hear a voice echoing through the apartment.
"You've got mail."
to be continued
Bet you're all dying to know who it's from right? Although I'm sure you all figured it out by now.
Anyways, please review else I will feel under appreciated and nobody wants that.
Right . . .
