April 22, 20xx

This morning, I woke up got refreshed, took a morning shower and got dressed. I descended the staircase and approached the kitchen, and I greeted the chefs and maids as I passed by. I sat down and someone brought me my morning coffee and breakfast; just as I was about to take a bit out of my sandwich, I heard an ear piercing scream. It seems like Tomoyo just woke up… if she does not hurry we are going to be late for classes again.

*PAUSE*

Something you should know about Tomoyo and I is that we are not you normal spoiled, rich, cry baby princesses; that are completely helpless when caught. In fact, we are the complete opposite. Tomoyo and I know how to fight. Also, something you should know is that we both have strong magic; but this was a secret that only the residents inside the castle know, and they are all trust worthy people.

I could control elemental powers fairly well. However, I also possessed other types of magic. Tomoyo on the other hand can control wind and water. She lacks the concentration to firmly control fire and earth.

One more thing, people who possessed strong magic tend to control or possess guardian beasts. The stronger one is the more guardian beast they possess.

I personally control four guardians currently: a panther; Minx, a wolf; Ace, a phoenix; Cherry, and a dragon; Sapphire.

Tomoyo only controls three guardian beasts: a panther; Crystal, a phoenix; Amethyst, and a dragon; Ruby.

*AWYWAYS ON WITH THE STORY*

Now, we were running swiftly down the long halls of the palace. I just remembered we needed to change, we can't fight in our dresses; it is already hard enough to move in them. Just great, we won't have enough time to change at this rate.

"Asa ma changeo". Our dresses glowed yellowish for a second and poof it turned into garbs that allowed us a lot of freedom.

All right, almost there… we'll just have to cover the last bit of the ground from here till we reach the room in less than a minute flat.

Great! We made it just on time. Tomoyo is totally out of breath and I'm just a little tired from dragging Tomoyo all the way here. That doesn't really matter… from here on out things are going to get a lot rougher.

"Good morning Toya, hope we did not make you wait too long." I greeted as someone stepped in quietly.

"Actually Princess Sakura you are just on time."

"Good, I guess we will start off with our normal warm-up. Just send someone to get us when you are ready."

"Yes Princess. May you please excuse me. I have to go now to make sure all the soldiers are up."

Once Toya left Tomoyo and I stretched and jogged. We started trading blows for about fifteen minutes, and then we trained with our magic for half an hour. We took a break… looks like Toya's soldiers is a bit late… I guess we could spear with each other until they arrive. The time just flew by because right after our spearing match ended we heard clapping. I guess Yue and Kero are here. Well, I did sense the two of them step in; but I ignored them. :P

"Hello, Yue! Hello, Kero! I'm guessing that the soldiers are all awake, showered and ready for warm-up since Toya sent you."

"Well shall we get going, Sakura", Tomoyo asked.

"Sure!"

"All the soldiers are up and two are in the infirmary due to injuries from the previous training session" Yue said.

"Okay, thank you Yue for the update."

Soon after we arrived at the courtyard and all the soldiers have already done their stretches Tomoyo and I did some warm-up with them which consisted of a few laps around the castle grounds and spearing.

It was dirty and tiring. However, it was fun in a way. Also, this way I got to know the people staying in the castle better.

After a long refreshing shower I got my maid, Lucy to help me dress and fix my hair.

Just, then I had a bad feeling, that something was going to happen that will change my life forever. For better or for worse I didn't know. I guess I would just have to wait and see.

A few seconds after this thought another maid came and knock at my door, and gave me a message that my parents and Tomoyo's parents were waiting for the both of us in the throne room. This couldn't be good, if the both of us were being called to the throne room at such an early time of day.

Once we got there, the guards and maids were asked to leave the room. I greeted my parents' and Tomoyo's parents once i entered the room.

"So father for what reason did you request our audience today?" I asked.

"Well, Sakura the thing is that you are now officially… in an arranged marriage." My mother replied.

… I blanked out a second there…

"Excuse me, could you please repeat that? I think I might have misheard something."

"No dare, you did not. You are officially engaged to Syaoran Li the prince of China and Tomoyo is also engaged to his best friend Eriol H. the prince of England.

From the shock of the news I think I almost fainted… Wait a minute… let me restate what I just wrote. I did faint from the shock of news I got because the next thing I knew I woke up in my room surrounded by everyone.

"Dare, are you feeling unwell? You scared me back there. If so you should not have been up and about. Do you want me to call a doctor?" My mother questioned.

"No mother, I am just fine. I think I fainted from the shock due to your sudden announcement about Tomoyo and my engagement. We do not even know them." I tried to protest.

"Sakura, sweaty. Don't' worry about the engagement, it can be broken if it really does not work out. It will only work if the both of you agree that is… but it can only be broken after a certain amount of time that is. Put, darling promise me you would at least try this out. He's the son of a friend of mine." My father spoke.

"Fine!" I stated unhappily.

"Good, Tomoyo and you will be staying as guest at their kingdom. You can bring a friend with you if you want." My mother stated.

That was basically the highlight of my day, and to think just a few days ago I was a free bird scaring away all my suitors who were just after my status and money.

I have a feeling that life from now on is going to just great…" -_-

Love,

Sakura
