~~~ Man i hate myself, i went back on my promise to make a new chapter each day : kicks self :! Ok.... i will try to finish up the story in the next few days, cause i really want to start a new story( and don't worry it will not be another disney based one, unless someone asks for another which i highly doubt). So here is next chapter. Ok unless CLAMP suddenly dies
( We certanitly hope not!) and leaves me The tsubasa and CCS characters in their will, even though we have never met and i live FAR away from them, i do not : sob : own them OK?
( except Shannon! ^^)

~ land of Clow ~
As Shannon walked on the empty road back to the home where she and her and her adoptive family had rented for their sudden trip to Clow, she could not help thinking about the confusing event that just happened.
FlashBack
I was a little uncomftorable in tomoyo's pajamas( which i had borrowed) untop of her silk bed by Tomoyo. " Are you sure its ok? i mean i don't know if my mother will let me sleep over." I spoke up. " oh don't worry about that! My mom already sent a messenger to ask --" She was cut off as her mom, who i learned was sonomi a famous Trader, jumped on her.
" Yessssssssss!!!!!! You'r cute new friend Shanon can sleep over!! Her mom said so!!!!!" screamed the mom followed by squeals of happiness from Tomoyo.
" Wait... Whaaaa!?" I could only manage. Since WHEN di my Stepmother let me have fun!? Some thing was up. But my train of thought was interuppted by a scream from Tomoyo. " This is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just HAVE to make your gown for the upcoming event!" she went all starry eyed after that. " What Event?" i asked, but i was already being dragged away by tomoyo to be measured for the the dress.
End Flash back
After that i could not get a straight answer after that. But i had a feeling that the event and the sudden trip to Land of Clow. I was sure that they had mentioned it once before, but i had been day dreaming about the possibilities of who i waas every since i had learned that i was from Clow. I would just ask Granny when i got home.
" Oh.." I looked up and i was already home. I walked in expecting the rush of commands telling what i should do next and how late i was. It never came. Instead i was greeted with by none other that my step mother, who was smiling! " Welcome home dear, did you have a fun time?" she asked in such a nice voice that it was all i could was say." Yes....."
after the strange encounter with the usually grump step mom i headed up to the room i shared with my Granny. When i got there she was already waiting. " How was the sleep over?" she asked paitently. ' Great! i think i finnaly have made a friend!" I said excitingly. " she may act a little weird... but she is really friendly!" " i'm glad to here that sweetie." she responded.
" Oh and before i forget.." i said as calm as i could " why exactly did we come to the land of Clow again?" " Shannon! You should pay more attention when people are talking!" she looked at me dissaprovinly, and then smiled." We came to attend a ball that the royalty of Clow are holding for another royal family." aqnd with that she left the room leaving me with a suprised look on my face.
The rest of the week was spent between visits to tomoyo's house ( which my mother was suprisingly letting me go to) and being treated like a normal person instead of a maid at my house. Even though my adopted family's strange behavior was unsettling i ignored it. Soon i had forgotten all about it, and was wrapped up in tomoyo's obsession of making me a gown for the upcoming ball.
~ at the Daidouji mansion ~
" Shannon! you just HAVE to see the improvements i did on your dress, its finnally finished!" tomoyo screamed. She then asked some servants to get the dress for her. " Are you sure its ok for you to make this dress? i mean i don't even know if i'm going. I don't thinl my mother would let me." " You just HAVE to go!!!! Just think how Kawaii you'll look in my dress!" :Tomoyo goes all starry eyed, while Shannon sweat drops: "Besides I'm going and why wouldn't your mom let you go?" She asked. i stayed silent, but she went off the topic when the servants came in. " Close your eyes Hsannon, we'll put the dress on you." I did as she said until.." Ok! look in the mirror!" I walked up to the mirror and looked in.
And to my suprise i didn't see just some abandoned girl treated as a slave by her own family. I saw a beautifull girl wearin a beutiful pink dress ( A/N: just imagine it as a longer version of the dress Sakura wore in the Second movie without wings.) " Tomoyo..... its beautifull! You even have a necklace that matches it!" " Really! Shannon thinks my dress looks beautiful! You have to take and wear it to the ball thats in two days!!" Tomoyo saidas i changed back into my clothes and carfully placed it into my bag. " Are you sure?" " YES!!! Plz wear it to the ball!" And with that i was escorted out of the mansion. I headed home that night, hiding the dress just as i had been hiding that beautiful golden necklace that i hadn't taken off every since my Granny gave it to me. But heading back home, little di i know that the next day would change my life forever.
