Hi my name is Sakura Kinomoto, and I'm in the ninth grade so that makes me fifteen. Over the past few months I have been writing to my friend Meiling who is the same age as me. She lives in the big city of Tokyo, while I live here with my mom and brother Touya. This morning I woke up to a breakfast full of my favorite foods. Uh oh, my mom must want me to do something. She only goes to this extent when she wants me to do a favor that she thinks I won't like at all.

"Hey mom what's up with the great smelling food?" By the look on her face she apparently doesn't want to tell me the 'excellent' news.

"Well honey your brother and I would like to tell you something." She explained nervously. "Hey don't drag me into this I don't want to be killed when I'm not looking, by the monsters wrath.

"Hey back off Touya! Obviously this has something to do with you because mom would never cook this awesome breakfast unless she wants to tell me something and not get me mad." When I was finished my brother and I were shooting death stares at each other.

"Oh I guess you figured it out that I want to tell you something. I should have known." She looked down a little sheepishly.

"Just tell me its not like I can't handle the news."

"Well ok then, your brother and I won a contest for a vacation for a year." Touya got an evil look on his face as if expecting what was going to happen. "Mom that's great I've been wanting to go on vacation this summer."

"No honey I think you might have miss understood, its just going to be your brother an I who go." As she finished saying her last word it finally sank in. How could they do this to me? I mean Touya yeah sure but mom, no way. "So if you're leaving then I'm going to have the whole house to myself?" There might be a plus side to this.

"Oh honey of course not you are going to be staying with Grandma Pearl." Wait did she just say what I think she did? "Grandma Pearl? Are you serious, she's like 100 years old and smells like old fish sticks." I couldn't believe what I was hearing until I had the greatest idea.

"Hey, how about I talk to my pen pal Meiling and see if I can stay there. We've been meaning to get together." My mother seemed to be thinking about it. "Hmm I don't see a problem with that, sure go ahead."

Touya looked disappointed by her reply. Obviously he was looking forward to me staying a Grandma Pearls. I stuck my tongue out at him, and left to e-mail my friend.

When I got upstairs I was happy to see that Meiling was online so I requested a video chat with her.

"Hey what's up Sakura?"

"Actually I have a favor to ask you. I know it's a lot to ask but my mother and Touya are going on vacation for a year and I was wondering…" she cut me off before I got a chance to finish.

"Of course you can stay here silly. That is what you were going to ask right?"

"Haha yeah you know me too well." There was a knock at Meiling's door that frightened me a little.

"Yes who's there?" she asked. "Its me Shaoran, I was wondering what you wanted to order for dinner."

"Oh anything is fine, you choose." "Ok" was all he replied and walked away.

"Who was that?" I asked out of curiosity. "Oh that was just my cousin Shaoran, I live here with him and my Aunt. And before you ask, yes I am positive you can stay here."

"Well if your sure, I'm really thankful. They were trying to get me to stay at my Grandma Pearl's. I'm gonna go tell my mom its alright and start packing, talk to you later. "

When I was finished talking to Meiling I told my mom the good news and so started my yearlong adventure.
