Chapter 1
'He have returned!' Sakura's mind cries as she hugs her lover. She was on her way to school when she had notice him. He was standing there, the teddy bear she had given him held in his arms. Syaoran strokes Sakura's hair and gently pulls away from the hug. "I think we better get going now. You don't want to be late at school, ne?" Syaoran's voice says. Sakura nods and they both head to school, hand in hand, unaware of the surprise they'll find.

Tomoe Hotaru's eyes open wide as she arrives to her new school, in Tomoeda (Sorry if the name of the city is wrong o.o; I only know the namo in French heh). As she is about to enter, she hears giggling sounds. She turns her head and sees two teens, about her age. 'Are they who I think they are?' she asks herself silently. Hotaru waits that the kids, who are obliviously Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran, enter the school to follow them to their class.
In the class, Tomoyo runs to meet her friends, and is rather happy to videotape such a kawaii couple which Sakura and Syaoran make. When the teacher, Takuchi-sensei, enters the room, everyone goes at their seat, except Syaoran and Hotaru who wait for the teacher to present them at the class. "Hello Class!" Takuchi-sensei's happy voice says. "Today, we have the pleasure to meet three new classmates." At the same moment, the door of the class opens up, to reveal a black haired boy with glasses. He walks next to Hotaru and waits for the teacher to speak up. "Class, please meet Li Syaoran," she designates the brow haired boy, "Tomoe Hotaru," she points out at the black/ dark purple haired girl, " And Hiragizawa Eriol," she looks at the black haired boy. Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo look at Eriol and he gestures with his lips the words 'Talk to you at lunchtime.' The teacher's voice breaks the silence. "Syaoran, you go sit behind Sakura, Eriol beside Syaoran and Hotaru beside Eriol." The teacher finishes her sentence with a smile as the students head for their seats.

At lunchtime, the four friends gather under a tree and eat. Tomoyo is the first to break the silence. "Why are you back, Eriol-san?" Sakura and Syaoran nod, wanting to know too. "Well," starts Eriol, "I've been having a strange dream lately, and I just knew I had to come back here." Sakura jumps up. "I've had a dream too! It was very weird." "Me too, I had one," says Syaoran. "What was it?" asks Tomoyo. Sakura decides to tell her dream first.
~ Sakura's Dream ~
It's the night, and a dark figure runs in the streets of Tomoeda. The person is being run after by six shadows. They all stop and the dark figure pulls out a glaive from nowhere. One of the six shadows steps out and is illuminated by the moonlights. A woman with strange looking hair- vines- is there and prepares to attack the glaived figure…
~ End of dream ~
Syaoran and Eriol look at each other. "I had the same dream," answers both of them. "That's strange," says Tomoyo, "We better tell this to Kero-chan." Everyone nods and soon, lunchtime is over and they are obliged to go back in class.

Back in class, they all talk about the new project the teacher promised them. Takuchi-sensei waits that everyone is at his or her seat. "We are going to do a play, based on a legend." Tomoyo and Sakura smile. They remember their last play. Syaoran frowns. He just hates plays. "The play will be in two months, so we have time to prepare ourselves. But first of all, I'll tell you the legend… of Saturn!" says the teacher playfully. When she's sure to have all the students' attention, she starts to say the legend.
" In a past life, all the planets were inhabited, even the moon. All planets had their princesses, queens and princes. And each princess protected the moon princess." Hotaru closes her eyes to listen at the legend of her homeplanet. " Saturn was the most beautiful planet. The queen, named Dosei, and her two daughters ruled over their kingdom perfectly. There was two species on Saturn; Saturnians and Draconians."
" The Draconians were only a few on Saturn. Most of them obeyed to the queen except six of them. They were called the Elemental Ones. They each held strong power within. Earth, Thunder, Wind, Fire, Water, Ice, each were powerful. When they rebel against their queen, the princess of Saturn, ruler of the silence realm, shattered them into gems with the help of her silence glaive. To make sure they'll stay together, she made them emerge in her, adding another gem: The Healing."
" Eventually, all princesses fall in love. So did Princess Saturn. They were in perfect harmony until something bad happen: Saturn's lover rebelled against her to get the gems. The princess was obliged to kill her beloved. After doing some job on the Moon, Princess Saturn returned on her home planet and killed herself. Her sister, Princess Yami, ruler of the Dark realm, couldn't live with the fact that her sister was dead, so she killed herself also. End of legend"
The bell rings when the teacher says the last words. Hotaru is lost in memories and doesn't hear that the others are going outside for the small recess. Eriol bends down near Hotaru and shakes her lightly. No response. He shakes her more. Nothing again. Eriol is about to shake her more when he notices the necklace around her neck. He gently picks the necklace in his hand and inspects it. The necklace's chain is made out of pure silver and it represents a glaive. 'Strange,' thinks Eriol. He whispers in her ear. "Hey Firefly… It's recess time." Hotaru's eyes flash open as she jumps up. "You want me to have a heart attack, Smarthead?" quickly asks Hotaru. Eriol blinks. "Smarthead? Why would you call me that?" Hotaru blushes slightly. She curses her to quick response. "For nothing, for nothing," answers Tomoe as she stands up and head toward the door of the class. 'Strange,' thinks Eriol.

The rest of the day passes quickly. The little gang talks about the play, wondering how the teacher will do to choose who will play whom. "There are the principal characters: The Queen, The two princesses, The prince and the six rebelled Draconians. It would be so kawaii if Sakura and Syaoran would be the lovers," exclaims Tomoyo. "But who will do Princess Yami, then?" courteously asks Eriol. Tomoyo fakes her thinking for a moment. "Me of course! And you could be the queen, Eriol-san!" Everyone bursts out laughing, even Eriol.
Hotaru blinks slightly. She's just behind them, but a little withdraw. Soon, the little group arrives near the Penguin Park. " So, Li-kun, how is Meilin? I haven't seen her since a long time!" asks Sakura. Syaoran stops right in his tracks. "What do you mean? Meilin was in Tokyo this summer, haven't you seen her?" But before Sakura can answer, the ground starts to shake and huge vines break through it, wrapping themselves around Tomoyo and lifting her off the ground.
" TOMOYO!!!!!!!!!"
