Author's Note: Ok, I've decided to work on this story because I want to finish it! There's about…3 chapters left (estimate from my outline). So, I think I'll try and finish this story before I go back to school! W00t! OH! One more thing! Download: Stay close, don't go – by Secondhand Serenade and Listen to your heart – by DHT.

Disclaimer: I do not, -sigh-, own Cardcaptor Sakura, or She's All That (1999), but I do own the idea of putting the two together!


Recap from last chapter…

Syaoran's POV

"Syaoran betted that he could turn you into prom queen; he figured he'd give a little make over, and by hanging out with you, your popularity would rise." Takeo explained to Sakura, and then turned to me, "People have feelings, leave her alone."

"Is this true?" Sakura asked me.

I really didn't want to answer her.

"Is this true?! Was I, a FUCKING BET?!" she screamed.

"Yes…" I meekly answered trying not to look at her face.

The next thing I saw was Sakura running out the gym with Takeo following her.

What the hell have I done?

"Pick me tomorrow night at 7 sharp baby." Meilin whispered into my ear.


Chapter 11 – Realizations

.: The next day, after school, Li Mansion – Syaoran's POV :.

Today was the worst day of my life.

After yesterday's…incident, I couldn't forgive what my pride had done to Sakura. I was just as terrible as Takeo.

Sakura didn't show up today at school. I really hit the sore spot didn't I? And to make matters worse, our problems were left unresolved, PLUS, the prom was in less than an hour.

I took out some college acceptance forms that I didn't sign yet.

Flashback

"Well, as my mother would day, 'no matter how much snow there is, it will always melt into Spring'."

End

BRRRIIING BRRRRIING

I wonder who that is...

"Hello?" I said.

"SYAORAN YOU JACK-ASS!"

"Eriol?!"

"BECAUSE OF YOU, TOMOYO IS MAD AT ME!"

"Oh…I'm sorry…"

"God, you may be a genius, but it doesn't take a genius to ruin relationships! Jeez! ARGH!"

BEEP

-Insert Song: Stay Close, Don't go-

Oh crap. Now Eriol's mad at me. Great...what do I do now? Only a few hours left 'till the prom...

What if...I call her?

-I'm staring at the glass in front of me,
is it half empty of our wins or of all you've given me?-

Why am I so worried about Sakura anyway...it's not as if she were any different from other girls...

No. That be a mistake to say that...

Do I...like her? I mean, her presence sooths me sometimes, and I love her sarcasm, and...she's pretty cute too.

I finally realized…I love her. I fell in love, with one of the best friends I've ever had.

-I know I've been selfish,
I know I've been foolish,-

I picked up the phone and dialed her number.

-but look through that
and you will see,-

BRIING BRIING...BRIING BRIING

"Hello?"

It was Touya.

"Hey Touya, can I speak to your sis-"

"Go away you asshole, and don't call back!"

BEEP

-I'll do better, I know,
Baby, I can do better.-

Oh great…

-If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone,-

I've really messed up haven't I?

-Don't tell me I will make it on my own,-

I got up and fixed up my tux.

-Don't leave me tonight,

this heart of stone will sing till it dies

if you leave me tonight. –

"Hey Feimei!"

I called out my sister. She came in wearing a simple halter top white diamond encrusted dress that dragged along the floor.

"I'm ready little brother. Now the question is, are YOU ready?"

I had explained my situation earlier to my sister before, and since I really didn't want to go with Meilin, I asked her knowing now that Sakura hated my guts.

-Sometimes I stare at you while you are sleeping,
I listen to your breathing,
amazed how I somehow managed to
sweep you off your feet girl,-

"Yeah." I said while exhaling.

"Then let's go."

-your perfect little feet girl
I took for granted what you do.-

"M'kay."

-But I'll do better, I know
Baby, I can do better.-

"Don't worry little brother, I'm sure she'll be there, you can fix it out if you really do love her."

-If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone,
don't tell me I will make it on my own,-

"I…I hope so…"

-don't leave me tonight,
this heart of stone will sing till it dies
if you leave me tonight.-

-End of song-

.: Kinomoto Residence – Sakura's POV :.

Ahhh...nothing like starting a new painting...

I skipped school today. I don't know why. I felt…afraid? Something along those lines…and I also decided to skip the prom tonight. I really didn't want to go, and I was still in my pyjamas.

CREAK

I turned around to see who was making the noise.

"Oh…hi dad."

"Hey there Sakura."

"I did the laundry, and I'll be up in 5 minutes to dry it. I also prepared dinner, I ate already, so you can just go ahead and warm up the soup and eat it with Touya."

"Uh…that's great little cherry blossom, but um…I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Well, I think its time I realized that you need…a little fun in your life. Right now I find you're taking on too many responsibilities which are supposed to be mine."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, one thing for sure is you're taking care of Touya and I, but it should be me that's taking care of you kids."

"…"

"You need a little fun in your life. I want you to be a teenager for once and not an adult. Take the time to enjoy life. I think your mother would want that for you as well."

"…"

"Don't you have a prom or something to go to?"

"Oh…yea..."

"Well then what are you waiting for?"

"I…don't have a date."

"A date huh?"

"Yeah, it's bad if you don't go with a date."

"Hmm…but then who's the handsome young man upstairs?"

Huh?

I looked at my father with a puzzled expression and he smirked at me.

"Have fun for yourself little cherry blossom, not for me."

I ran up the basement stairs.

Could it be? Is it...Syao-

I got upstairs to find…Takeo…standing there in a black tux with a metallic blue tie.

"Oh…hi." I said.

"Hey."

"um…"

"Look, I came here on the chance that you would say yes. I really would like to take you to the prom, but if you don't want to go with me, I understand."

Well I guess I really don't have a choice do I?

"Hold on one second." I said as I went upstairs to change into what Tomoyo had given me to wear.

.: Prom – Narrator's POV :.

-Insert song: Listen to your heart-

The gym was packed with couples dancing, mingling, and drinking.

Eriol and Tomoyo were standing could be seen fighting at a table in one corner of the gym and Syaoran along with his sister could be seen entering the gym.

-I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.-

"You go find her. I'm going to get a drink." Feimei said as she left Syaoran's side.

"Okay."

-You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.-

Syaoran seemed to be searching for a certain green eyed girl.

He found her dancing…with Takeo.

-Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.-

She was wearing a black dress with spaghetti straps accessorize with black high heels and an emerald necklace. The dress had a v cut along the neckline and slits were made on the side that reached up until about 2 inches above her knee. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun and her lips seemed to shimmer under the light.

-Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.-

Syaoran stared at her…awed by her beauty, but he was filled with grief and regret.

Sakura...

He stayed like that until she caught him staring at her and then quickly looked away.

-I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.-

"There you are!" squeaked a high-pitched voice.

"Get off me Meilin!" Syaoran replied.

-Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.-

"Where were you? You didn't pick me up! Whatever, I forgive you once again, now let's dance!"

-They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.-

Meilin pulled Syaoran to the dance floor and put her hands around his neck.

I can't make a fool of myself right now…

Unknown to him Sakura saw the two dancing.

-Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.-

-End of Song-

.: Men's Bathroom – Narrator's POV :.

"Haha Yuuhi! Tonight I'm gonna score big time!"

"You ARE the man Takeo!"

"Check this out." Takeo pulled out a key.

"Ouuuuu! Shiny!"

"You idiot! This is the key for room 409 which will become a land mark."

"Hehehe."

"This will be one sweet night in bed."

The two young men smiled at each other and walk out of the bathroom after fixing there ties and washing there hands.

Unknown to them, Eriol popped out of the stall.

.: Back in the gym – Narrator's POV :.

"Hey! Tomoyo! Pssst!"

"Eriol? I'm still mad at you."

"No no! This is important!"

"Yeah right." Tomoyo replied as she flicked her wrists giving Eriol a sign to leave.

"I swear! I overheard Takeo in the bathroom; he's planning to take her to a love hotel!"

"WHAT?! Oh my God! Hurry! We have to find Sakura!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she dragged Eriol around the gym.

"Attention everyone! Gather around the stage please." The headmaster was up on the built stage which was in the center of the gym holding two boxes in each hand. "It's time to announce the prom king and queen of 2007!" he continued.

"Eriol! I don't see Sakura!" Tomoyo said in a panic.

"You look for her, I'll warn Syaoran." Eriol replied as he dashed off to find him.

"Ok no surprise here! The prom king of 2007 is…Li Syaoran!"

CLAP CLAP CLAP

"We love you Li!!" yelled out a group of girls and pushed Sakura aside, who was standing next to Takeo.

"and now," continued the headmaster, "the prom queen of 2007, which was a very tight race, 49 to 51, the winner is…Vaughn Meilin!"

"Oh my, thank you, thank you! I love you all!" Meilin said as she got up on stage.

"Hey Sakura."

"Yeah Takeo?"

"If it makes you feel any better I voted for you."

"Thanks, but I think the right person won the 'award'."

"Do you wanna leave?"

"Sure."

Takeo escorted Sakura out of the gym grinning.

"Uh so, It a great year and all," started Syaoran as he was given the microphone, "and I've learned a great deal."

Meilin was looking at Syaoran impatiently and grabbed the mic from him.

"Ok so, yeah, I'm happy I get to be the prom queen and all, you know, it is in my blood and I AM a model, but like, whoever didn't vote for me, like what were you thinking?!"

Meilin just kept talking and talking.

Eriol, on the other hand, was trying to get Syaoran's attention.

"Syaoran! Pssst!"

"Eriol?"

"Sakura's in trouble! Takeo's gonna take her to a love hotel, room 409."

Then Tomoyo ran in and added.

"They're gone! I spotted the two leaving, but I was too far for her to hear me!"

"Oh crap." Syaoran whispered as he ran out of the gym to his car.

.: In Syaoran's car - Syaoran's POV :.

If she gets hurt, it'll be all my fault. Shit!

I picked up my phone while driving and called every hotel I knew.

"Yes, this is Li Syaoran, I would like to know if there's a Takeo Ryuuga registered in room 409. No? Ok thanks."

I kept calling and calling and driving around trying to spot Takeo's car.

Sakura...Where are you?
