My Friend

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS…..or its characters. But I do own some of the characters in this story. I did NOT copy and paste this from another story….please don't think that! I AM NOT PLAGERIZING! But I did get this idea from a movie I once saw called "Mujse Dosti Caroge"…it's an Indian movie. I know…I should have mentioned it in my last disclaimer…but I didn't…I'm sorry! I changed the story a little though because all Indian movies have stupid things in them…heh… --
Sorry guys, I've decided to stop this fic. There were some complaints on this site and a lot on Media Miner; I just want to make it clear...I DID NOT PLAGIARIZE! I simply based the story on the movie called "Mujse Doste Karoge". sigh Anyway, the main reason why I'm stopping is because I've lost interest...and I've come up with another idea. It's more of my 'own' idea. Well...bye! Oh yeah, I've changed my name...to Flame Alchmst!
Alright, in this story Syaoran has a father and a mother…..I don't know what to call his father though. I can't make up a name for him, so I'll just call him Li. And Sakura has both her parents as well.
I wanted to update this chapter and make it longer...so here it is!
Chapter 1: Goodbye
The train let out a huge sound indicating that it would be leaving soon.
"I still don't understand why you're going to London, Li. With all the money you already have, why do you need to go and make more?"
"He's not going for the money Sonomi! Haven't you heard of all the fine babes in London?"
Everyone gave Fujitaka a look. "What?" He asked, "They're hot."
His wife elbowed him. "Oh, stop your joking dear, they're going for a long time. Try to be serious!"
"Listen, we are only going there because London is the city where we can make our business grow worldwide," Li said laughing, "Otherwise, why would I be leaving all of you?"
"Don't worry. We'll definitely come back," Yelan promised. "Oh, I'm going to miss you guys!" She walked over to Sonomi and Nadeshiko and gave them huge bear hugs. Their eyes started filling with tears.
"Alright, alright….please don't start crying ladies! We'll see each other again!" Fujitaka said laughing. Li rolled his eyes and said his farewells to the others.
"SYAORAN! THE TRAIN IS ABOUT TO LEAVE!" Yelan called out to her son.
The three children stood about 8 yards from the grownups.
"Bye Tomoyo, I'll miss you." Syaoran said winking.
She just rolled her eyes and waved her hand at him, "Yeah, yeah, just go already."
"Bye Syaoran," Sakura wore a slight frown on her face. Her best friend was leaving her. But Syaoran didn't seem to notice.
"Yeah, bye Sakura," He said, still not taking his eyes off Tomoyo. He finally turned his gaze to Sakura and smiled, "Don't forget me."
"Yeah, yeah, we won't….now leave already!" Tomoyo said giggling.
"I'll send you an email everyday Tomoyo. You will write back, won't you?" Syaoran looked at Tomoyo dreamily.
"But I don't even have a computer…." Tomoyo said nonchalantly.
"Oh yeah….that's true…." Syaoran said frowning.
"But I have one," Sakura offered, "She can reply on my computer. Just send me the emails then."
"Hey," Syaoran said getting excited, "That's right! Sakura has one…so you can use her computer. Thanks Sakura, you're such a good friend."
"It's no problem," Sakura replied, smiling.
"So then you'll email me Tomoyo?" Syaoran asked, his eyes twinkling.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll do it." She replied looking around.
"Well, I better go, mom's getting impatient. Bye Sakura, bye Tomoyo." He quickly gave Tomoyo another peck and ran off to the train.
"Bye Syaoron…I'll miss you…." Sakura said under her breath.
"Dear Tomoyo, how are you doing? We've just arrived in London and mom made sure that we had a beautiful house waiting for us to live in. I wish you were here, it's gorgeous! The house is huge! I rushed to the……." Tomoyo opened her mouth wide and yawned loudly. "Man…I'm tired of reading….and this Syaoran has gotten so boring…" She got up from the computer and sat on Sakura's bed.
Sakura sat down at the computer and continued reading,
"…computer moment we got here to email you. You see, I didn't break my promise. (Sakura smiled big at this. Syaoron was always true on his word. He never broke a promise.) I already miss you…I don't know how I'll be able to live here when your all the way over there. But we'll keep in touch all the time through email. So…do you miss me? I'll be waiting for a reply. Loving you always, Syaoran" She turned to look at Tomoyo, "Well?"
"Well what? Oh, c'mon…..you don't expect me to reply to it do you?" Tomoyo said putting nail polish on her nails.
"TOMOYO! You said at the train station, 'yeah, yeah, I'll write'." Sakura said upset.
"I might have said it…." Tomoyo said closing the nail polish bottle.
"Oh, c'mon, Syaoran is always so sweet to you and you're always making him miserable." Sakura said, trying to reason with her.
"Listen, if you want his letter to be replied so badly…just do it yourself." Tomoyo got up and walked out of the room.
'Well Sakura…what now?' She asked herself. She thought about it for a while, and then replied:
Dear Syaoran,
I'm doing fine, how are you? How's the family? I'm so glad you emailed me! I've been waiting ever since you left for London. Today we ate alu parata and I remembered you…it's your favorite. Do they have it there? Wow, I wish I was there with you. Of course I miss you! Don't worry…we'll keep emailing each other. I'll email you everyday. I promise! Tell me about everything there. Hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Sakura
Sakura read it over until she was satisfied with it. Then she realized it. She hesitated, and then changed it:
Love,
Tomoyo
There…she thought, perfect. Now he won't be disappointed that Tomoyo didn't reply. She clicked 'send' and logged off.
Syaoran received Sakura's email and was very happy. Of course, he thought it was from Tomoyo. He replied:
Dear Tomoyo,
Glad you replied! I knew you'd keep your promise! Life here seems pretty good. London is a huge city! You should see it…it's beautiful. Today we went to a really nice restaurant. The grownups ordered cow brain…nasty! I had rice with vegetables. All the waitresses dress so weird there. But the place is really nice. If you ever come to London…I'll definitely take you there. Well…mom tries to make alu parata but it doesn't taste as great as over there. Nadeshiko makes it the best! I miss it… :( I started school today! It's great….I've met a new friend. His name is Yamazaki. He's really nice. Well…..Reply back, bye!
Love,
Syaoran
And so it went on. They continued to email each other, Sakura, pretending to be Tomoyo. Through emails they learned so much about each other. Syaoran told her all the places that he went to and how each day of school went. Sakura told him about everything that happened with her life. They knew everything about each other, and a new kind of love grew between them.
Here are a few important things in the emails they sent each other that you'll need to know for the story….
Syaoran:
Can you believe it? I made the basketball team! I have to admit….I am pretty good at it.
Sakura:
Wow…that's awesome. Yeah, you are good at basketball….I knew you'd make the team! Guess what? I came out one of the top students in my class!
Syaoran:
Really? Congratulations, I didn't know you were like Sakura….she's always acing everything. Anyway, today…when I went into church…this weird tune came into my head. I'll send it to you.
11 years later….again, bits of writing from the emails they sent each other:
Sakura:
It's become a habit of mine to hum your tune every Sunday when I go to church.
Syaoran:
You are my habit….I can't go to sleep unless I've told you everything about my day. You know….the only picture I have of you is a childhood one. It's with us and Sakura sitting by the lake.
Sakura:
If I can't go to sleep…I usually start reading, 'Love Story'. It's a beautiful book.
Syaoran:
Yes, I've read that one before. It's one of my favorites. Listen, I have some good news….I'm coming back to visit. Mom has already phoned your mom and the others about our flight and arrival time. You don't have to send a picture…I'll know you the moment I see you.
Sakura:
Liar
Syaoran:
We'll see who the liar is when I return. Let's make a promise...we'll be able to recognize each other the moment we see each other. Ok? We'll recognize each other's hearts…I'll pick you out of the crowd...and you'll be the most beautiful one like always Tomoyo…
Sakura read this over, tears filling her eyes. "I'm not who you think I am Syaoran." She said out loud. "It's someone else….it's someone else…"
She was so happy that he was returning…but it was also a disaster. He'll expect Tomoyo to know everything and anything about him, and he'll expect to know everything about her as well. 'But Tomoyo and I are complete opposites.' She logged off and lay down on her bed, thinking of a plan.
Replying to reviews:
Yukimi the Ice Goddess - thanks! I'll use "Syaoran" from now on then…yeah, I didn't stretch it out that much…but I don't think it's that necessary. Thanks for the advice though!
galaxy gaurdian – yeah…Tomoyo is supposed to be snotty in this story. Thanks for the review!
Illusioner – my reply to you is in the disclaimer…
Yukyungtang – you have? Ok…could you please tell me the title of it so I can check it out?
