Authoress's Note-The entire CCS crew are older now, in their last year of high school, and there will be no Meiling or Kaho in this story. Meiling never even existed in the first place in the original manga which I view as more accurate and more interesting than the anime series. Say Kaho died, broke up eith Eriol and moved to Greenland, or broke up with Eriol and is happily married to some unknown man in some tiny, forgotten corner of the world.
Sakura and Li have been engaged for almost a year and both have been staying in Hong Kong for the last six months. Touya and Yukito have shacked up together and are thinking of adopting a child. Kero has been residing with Tomoyo until Yelan (I think that's how you spell Li's mother's name) allows his return. Last time he was there, the Li clan had been literally eaten out of house and home. Eriol had moved back to Read Manor in England.

Surprise!
The Plan
Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
England, Read Manor-
"Eriol-sama!"
Eriol put down his current read, folded his hands in his lap, and waited. As expected, the study's door flew open with a bang, hitting the wall with a solid thump and knocking several freestanding objects down. A red whirlwind known as Akizuki Nakuru flew in to land at her master's feet.
"Eriol-sama!"
"Yes, Ruby Moon--I heard you quite clearly the first time--what is it?"
Excitedly, the Guardian clapped her hands and startled to dance around the room in dizzying circles. "Oh, Maaaaaaaaaster! Sakura-chan called! She's going to invite aaaaaaaaaall of us to Hong Kong for Syaoran's birthday! And it's all going to be a surprise!!! Isn't Li-kun going to be sooooooooo shocked?!"
The azure-eyed boy smirked slightly. If he knew his cute little descendent well enough, "shocked" would be too mild a word. "When is the party?"
Nakuru giggled, "It's in two weeks! Sakura-chan's notifying all the attendees a week ahead of the flight! We'll stay in a hotel until the day of the party. After that, we'll stay with Sakura-chan herself! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!"
A creature that resembled a cross between a dragon fly and a tiny panther floated through the open door. Warily, Spinel Sun looked at the hyper Nakuru for a long second before cautiously flying to his creator's side, careful to avoid the dancing girl. "Did she overdose on the sugar and candy again, Master?"
"No, Spinal Sun. She's just unusually happy. For, as you know, she adores Sakura-san and it seems my esteemed successor has invited us all for a 'surprise party' on her fiancee's behalf."
Spinel Sun nodded his little head wisely. "Ah, yes. The baka still tortures Touya-kun even though he is already taken."
Eriol looked thoughtfully into the flickering fire. "I wonder who else is invited?"

Japan, Tomoeda-
Sonomi Daidouji, CEO of the world's largest and most famous toy company flipped through the stack of mail in her perfectly manicured hands.
Junk . . . Junk . . . Bills . . . Bills . . . Business letter . . . Business letter . . . More Junk . . .Another Bill . . . A small, square, pink envelope . . . Junk again . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Sonomi froze, her mind mentally rewinding itself to what she had seen. A small, square, PINK envelope? SAKURA-CHAN!!!
Tossing the rest of the mail to the floor, Sonomi raced up the grand staircase, waving the small envelope like a banner. "TOMOYO-CHAN!!! TOMOOOOOYO!!! LETTER FROM SAKURA-CHAN!!!"
Tomoyo Daidouji, president of the student council, star chorus singer, and voted the most beautiful by Seijo High, walked out of her room and met her mother halfway down the stairs before the elder Daidouji could injure herself in her hurried rush to reach her daughter. "Yes, Mother? Why don't I read it to you?" Taking the cherry blossom scented envelope from Sonomi, Tomoyo neatly slit open the paper and took out a creamy white card with "To: Tomoyo" scrawled in Sakura's unique handwriting on it.
Opening the card, Tomoyo had to smile at the small sketch of a wolf with a cherry blossom tucked under one ear. On the other side, Sakura had written a brief message. "Hi, Tomoyo-chan! Syaoran-chan's birthday is coming up and I'm planning to surprise him with a party! Please come, I'd love to see you and Kero-chan. I'll be sending you the plane tickets in a week, okay? Love, Sakura-chan."
Sonomi was in transports of happiness. She was going to see Nadesiko's daughter again! Tomoyo watched her mother with amusement, Sonomi was acting like a child who had just received a present. Now her mother had pulled out her phone and calling her secretary to cancel any meetings or business she had elsewhere at the time and rescheduling the ones planned for Hong Kong.
Turning around, Tomoyo reentered her large and plushly furnished room to be met by a small, winged, yellow cat. "Hello Kero-chan."
Blinking his tiny, black, shoe-button eyes, Kero asked, "Why is Daidouji-sama so happy?"
Tomoyo smiled, "Would you believe me if I told you Nadesiko had come back to life?"
Kero sat down in mid air with his legs and arms crossed, forwning in thought, "Hmph. It's possible, but not likely." The golden Guardian gave Tomoyo a steely glare that didn't faze the girl at all. "Okay, Tomoyo-san, tell me the truth! Come on. I'm waaaaaaaaiting!"
Walking over the her bed, Tomoyo sat down and cuddled Kero, giggling. "No, I didn't think you'd believe that. In actuallity, we received a letter from your Mistress."
"Oooooooooooooooooooh!!!! Really?!" His eyes going starry, the tiny creature leapt from Tomoyo's lap and started twirling around the room, singing at the top of his lungs. Luckily, Tomoyo's room had thick, sound-proofed walls, so none of the maids came up to inquire about the noise. Elsewise, there would have been a lot of questions to be answered.
Patiently, Tomoyo waited for the happy Guardian to calm down. "Kero, you don't even know what was written in it. What if it contained news that someone we knew had died or that she had split up with Li-kun?"
"I don't care! Sakuraaaaaaaa! She hasn't forgotten about me!!! Pudding, pudding, pudding!"
Tomoyo sweatdropped. What did pudding have to do with a letter from Sakura-chan? "Kero, would you like something to eat?"
Sakura was totally forgotten as Kero started a whole new song and dance routine starring pudding. "I wuuuuuuv pudding! Pudding is my love! I love pudding!"
Still sweatdropping, Tomoyo slowly backed out of her room, and quietly closing the door behind her. Smiling, she headed toward the kitchen to prepare a bit of pudding for her crazy "guest".

Well, what do you think? If it's good, please tell me so-my self esteem could use it. If it's bad, tell me and I'll make the necessary changes.
