"Tomoyo?!" I screamed, she was the last person i had expected to see! " Why ar'nt you at the ball?". I said looking at her and her long dark blue dress wtih a white collar." Because Sahnnon," she said as she kneeled next to me. " I can't possibly have fun at the ball with out my best friend. And it was obvious that you wern't coming when your stepmom and stepsisters passed my house without you." But why wouldn't you want to go to the ball?" i couldn't help but ask. She gave me a strange look, " Of course i'm going to the ball, just not without you.
" But.. look at me."
" I won't take no for an answer! and besides i can fix you up and you can put on the dress i made you."
" But my step mother and sisters expect me to be here with food for them when they come back at 1:00."
" So! you'll just have to get back at 12:00 so you can get some food and change into your other clothes."
" But...But..."
" You are going to the ball wether you LIKE it or NOT!" and with that she dragged me to my room and cleaned me up. She brushed my hair and got me into her dress while she did a few finishing touches. ' Umm.. Tomoyo?" "Yea?"Thanks." i said and before i lost my courage i said." I know you got a necklace and everything, but is it ok if i where my own?" and i showed her the golden necklace i was found with. " Its its.... BEAUTIFUL!!" she screamed while having a starry look in her eyes. " It looks way better with the gown the my own! You HAVE to wear it!!!" she screamed. " ok.... so now that i'm ready, exactly HOW are we going to get to the ball!?" " Oh don't worry about that." she said as she lead me out side." I brought a carriage."

~~~~(prince)Syoaran's P.O.V~~~~~~
I had been dreading this moment. And wasn't the fact that the ball by tradition was supposed to be for his lost daughter, and the fact that she had dissapered on this didn't help. But it ever since he found out who the ball was going to be for instead.
Flash Back
i read the paper that suggested that the ball should be held to celebrate the Li Clan's heir 16th birthday, where he would have to choose a fiance if he could take over the clan. It looked good so far, i mean we had to pick someone to celebrate the ball for, or else the people of the kingdom would......(A/N: Ok.. i don't know WHAT the people would do and i'm too lazy to think of something, so heres a nice interupption.)
WHAAA?!!!!!!!! i read the name over again just to make i didn't make a mistake." Oh no....." was the only thing i could manage as every one else cracked up ( except for the king who was glaring wiht a smile on his face). I couldn't ignore it, why oh why name your child......
" They said they wanted to name it after one of the famouse people here at Clow." Yukito explained with the ever persistent smile on his face, that seemed a little bigger then usual. " And when they saw how the baby looked, they couldn't help but name him............
..... Shoaran Li." And with that every one exploded with laughter, even Touya! " Oh great..."
End Flash Back
When we announced whose birthdays we were celebrating everyone laughed! I think i even heard snorting from three weirdly blonde woman. At least our old friends Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona were here to attend. it might help the embaressment a little. Well, at least it seems people have started to dance and forget the whole thing. i thought. But then i heard the king shouting. " GREAT!! JUST GREAT!! Now theres two of them!! I mean the kid even LOOKS like him!!!!" " Why don't you just shout up!!!" shouted the so called ' guest of honor ' in his formal suit ( A/N; ok this also looks like the suit Li wore in the CCs second movie during the play.) and a striking pose as well as a glaring contest with the king. " Fine whatever!" said Touya as he walked away to talk to yukito, the high preist.
Kurogane, mokona, and Fai then approached me. " whyuuuuu.... Looks alot like you syoaran-kun. hehe" said the mage. along with a response from Mokona." Just like someone else we know!!" And with that he got hit by Kurogane who gae him a casty look. Someone else? Those three did look like they were keeping a secret.....
" Tomoyo-hime!!" shouted kurogane as he headed for a young girl wiht long dak hair. " Its probably not the same person he knows, but knowing Kurogane he won't care. i'm a little jealous, hehehe." Fai sasid as he and Mokona raced off to another part of the room. What is up with them? i thought.
~~~~Shannon's P.O.V ~~~~~
I couldn't stand the huge crowd in the ballroom so i just sat out side on the balcony on a bench behind a waterfall near the castle while Tomoyo went in. But not too near. It was so quite and peacefull out here, also there was a huge clock so i could tell when it was time to go. I was lost in thought when i heared footsteps coming towards me. Then out of no where a brown haired boy ran around the corner and his in the shadows of the fountian, looking around to see that no one had saw him. " Phew.. i lost those crazy girls."Then he turned around and saw that he was not the only person here. Amber eyes met amber eyes and we were silent for a moment. then he said " Your'e not one of those crazy girls, are you?" " No..... and why were you running away any way?"
" Oh good, i was running away from some crazy girls. why are you here?"
" I like the peacefullness here."
" Yea... its nice. So whats your name? Mines Shoaran Li?"
" Oh.. mine is Shannon. Nice to meet you Shoaran."
i think he just blushed a little, but then he replied " oh.. nice nice to met you too shannon."
I don't know how it happened but he started to tell me every thing about his life. How he was pressured, trained, how he hated all the atention, everything!! Even that he had to choose a fiance at the ball tonight. and looking into his eyes i couldn't help but tell him everything too, how i was found, how my family treated me, about tomoyo, all i knew about my past, and finnaly the nacklace. it just felt so great to let everything out and to be with him, i didn't what i was feeling.When i showed it to him he gasped. " But.. But... thats the insegnia of the Princess and prince of Clow on it! Only some one from their family is allowed to have it!! You could actually be their daughter!! it all makes sense, the ady you were found, everything!!"
i couldn't believe what i had just heard. Then tomoyo with that freaky guy i saw early.. kurogane i think with her. When she noticed i noticed she sweatdropped and said. " i'll explain later, Who is that person who was with you?" I turned around and found that she was right, that the guy HAD left, and in what looked like a hurry. Then Tomoyo looked up at the clock above us. " Oh no!! its 12:00 we have to get you home!! What!!!!? how long had me and Shoaran been talking, but that didn't matter! i had to get home in time!!!
