MAGIC ARTS

CC LILLITH: I got this idea when my sister got into a Fine Arts School. So n e ways I don't own n e of the characters they belong to CLAMP. On with the story! Oh and Kero-chan I didn't forget this time. Oh and I'm using their English version names because this doesn't take place in Japan or China for most of the story.

KERO: Ya you didn't forget this once.

CC LILLITH sticks tongue out.

KERO: How immature and your supposed to be 17 hah!

CC LILLITH: You stupid stuffed animal why I oughta! * blinks * Never mind. here's a few important notes.

Sakura and Li have never met.

Eli and Li already go to the Fine Arts School

Madison got in a year before

Tori works in Tokyo

Sakura's father was in a car accident and is now in the hospital, he'll be out in a few weeks.

Sakura is interested in many different forms of fine arts.

Meilin isn't in my story, instead Li's cousin is a guy named Brendan.

CHAPTER ONE: I GOT IN I GOT IN

16 year old Sakura Avalon woke up late as usual, "Hooooeeeeeee! Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

Kero jumped up awoken by her scream, "NO NOT THE PUDDING!"

"What pudding Kero?" Sakura asked hopping on one foot as she struggled to get her work uniform on. She rushed through brushing her now waist long hair and putting on her makeup.

"Never mind," Kero said shaking his head, "why did you take the early shift anyway Sakura you know you hate getting up early and it's the middle of Summer!"

"I had to get a job with Dad in the hospital both me and Tori have to work, especially if I even hope to get into the English Art School. I hope to get into the one in England rather than the one in America, I've heardso many stories about the cities in America." (Hey you guys no offence to Americans! She's afraid of all the cars!) Kero sighed, "I know, I know. Are you going to visit your dad after work?"

Sakura's face turned from apprehensive to sad, "Ya, I'm going to make breakfast if you sort through the mail for me I'll make waffles."

Kero grinned brightly and drooled, "Waffles... yummy! OK!!!!"

"Alright," Sakura laughed, "lets get to it!"

Sakura cooked the waffles quickly and when the table was set and she and Kero were eating she finally asked about the mail.

"Oh ya there is a letter for you Sakura, It's a little wet though..." Kero glared at her, "I was hungry ok!"

Sakura laughed taking the letter, "Yea, yea, yea. OH MY GOD! This is from the Arts School in England!"

Kero jumped up, "Really? Lemme see! Lemme see!"

She ripped it open, "Dear Ms. Avalon, We have reviewed your work and have found it quite excellent. Your knowledge of our language is also very good we are pleased to inform you that you have achieved a place in our school if you wish to accept it. We await your reply. School starts on September the third. After your reply is made you will receive your book list, equipment list, class list, schedule, and travel package. Your travel package will contain plane tickets, train tickets, and a student passport, ID, Dormitory passes, and student coupons. You will be fitted for a uniform upon your arrival. Welcome to England Fine Arts. Miss Riley O'Connor Headmistress! OH MY GOD! I GOT IN! I GOT IN!"

"Sakura," Kero exclaimed, "You're going to be late for work!"

"Ok! Ok! Just let me give the school a call!" Sakura quickly dialed and told the headmistress her positive reply. Then she grabbed her keys and raced off to work.

'This is going to rule!' Sakura thought, 'I'll finally see Madison again and I'll get to do what I always wanted.

**A Few Weeks later - September the 2nd**

"Bye guys I'll miss you!" She hugged her father first happy he was finally out of the hospital, "Take care father and don't get hurt again. Are you sure its ok that I'm leaving?"

Aiden Avalon smiled warmly, "I'll be good, you go follow your dreams we'll all be ok."

"Bye, Rita, I'll miss you and Nicky (that's her name right?) and Chelsea too." She hugged her friends.

Chelsea and Rita and Nicky smile teary eyed, "Go get 'em gurl!"

Lastly Sakura came to her brother, "Don't worry it's only a year I'll be back for summer. But I'll miss you." By the time Sakura released her brother there were tears streaming down her cheeks.

"You'll do ok squirt, you'll do ok." Tori ruffled her hair, "Don't be messin around with no boys though. And you'd better write!"

"I will, tell Julian I said good bye!" Sakura then turned and boarded her plane, she never looked back because she knew she wouldn't be able to leave if she did, 'It's time for me to follow my dreams, where ever they will lead me.' CC LILLITH: So whatcha think is it good? Bad? I'll make the next on longer but I thought I'd end this one on a dramatic note. ^-^ hehehe. R+R Pleez!
