Thirdly I hope you can check it out and can have a chance to check out this last chapter in this story line. Hope you enjoy, Thanks.



*****Note: I don't own Cardcaptors or the characters, just the plot and one card. The following is my interpretation of everyone's reaction to the news that Syaoran and Sakura are getting married. I like all Cardcaptor characters and I tried to be as honest as I could.****



It was a wintery New Years Eve and everyone was gathered at Madison Taylor's house for the ultimate New Years party. Most of the Christmas decorations were still up and with the added New Years decorations the house looked dazzlingly beautiful as always. Almost everyone was there and they were only waiting for Sakura, Melin and Syaoran to get there from China soon. The weather had been bad that day and their flight had been delayed for a while though they should arrive anytime. All of Madison and Sakura's friends had come to the party from all over in a reunion of a sorts. Nikki, Rika, Chelsea, Zachary and all the others had all managed to come and Madison couldn't be happier. And if her best friend would only get here everything would be perfect.



"I hope they get here soon." Madison said looking at her slim gold watch. She looked stunning in her black sheath and as always looked ready for Cinderella's ball. She'd been looking at her watch a lot lately.

"They'll be here soon Madison." Eriol said pulling her closer to his side. Happy to be there Madison leaned back against him and tried not to worry. Sakura had sounded so excited when she'd called and Madison was just on pins and needles to find out what the big surprise was. She knew that Sakura had been really nervous about something before she'd left and something told her that Sakura would have an announcement to make. Which is why I've set up video cameras everywhere so I won't miss a thing Madison thought with a smile.

"So any word on when they'll get here Madison?" Chelsea asked as she walked over to join them. She was wearing a daring gold dress and Zachary had come close to ending up in several collisions thanks to it low back. They were such a cute couple Madison thought with a huge smile for her friend.

"No, they said that all they know is that they'll do there best to get here before midnight." Madison said with a shrug.

"It'll be good to see Li and Melin again." Chelsea said with a smile as she watched people whirl around the dance floor. "I bet Li was really surprised when she showed up on Christmas Day." She added with a mischievous look.

"Ohhh ya." Madison said with a similar smile. "He'd been trying to get a hold of her for hours before she got there and was really getting frantic. I can't wait till they get here."

"Awwwwwwweeee. They are such a cute couple." Chelsea said with a dreamy look. "I wonder if he'll ever get up the nerve to ask her to marry him?"



"If the Brat's asked her to marry him while she was in China I'll have him shipped to Australia." Tori announced taking a sip of champagne. "In pieces."

"Aw come on Tori, he's not that bad. You should be happy for Sakura." Julian said as he mowed his way through his plate of goodies. "He loves Sakura a lot you know."

"The Monster's not marrying him and that's final." Tori said threateningly as he refused to agree with his best friend. "She'll marry him over my dead body." He added thinking mentally how much he'd enjoy doing it too. What his sister saw in the kid was behind him but he wasn't about to let her ruin her life by permanently joining up with the Brat. It was his responsibility as her older brother to look after her.

"I think Sakura would have something to say about it." Julian said with a grin. Thanks to having two heads instead of only one figuratively he knew from Yue that if Syaoran didn't hurry up and purpose Sakura was going to do it for him.

"She's only a kid, what does she know." Tori huffed as he bit into a gingerbread man. "And besides, my sister wouldn't want to become part of the Brat's family, who would. His sisters are psycho and that cousin of his is the biggest pain in the asse. She's even worse then the Brat!"

"Whatever you say Tori." Julian said with a grin. "Whatever you say."



"So when is Sakura arriving?" Madison's mother asked Sakura's father Aiden as they stood side by side as they watched the dancers spin and shake. Though they weren't good friends their daughters had managed to bring them into each others company enough that they'd learned to get along fairly well.

"They could get here at any time. I hope they make it soon, it would be a shame for them to miss this party, Madison's really outdone herself this time. You must be really proud." He said as he smiled at the way Julian was packing it in. What a bottomless stomach he thought fondly.

"I am. She does know how to throw a party, doesn't she." Madison's mother said with a smile as she returned the wave of one of Madison's friends. The house was packed and Madison's mom was glad she'd been able to convince her investors that a board meeting on New Years Eve was out of the question.

"Our girls sure grew up quickly." Adien said watching Tori talk to Julian. Probably trying to in list his aid in doing away with Syaoran. Well I think your sister will have something to say about that son he thought with a smile. Sakura intended to be Syaoran's for keeps. The boy had already asked his permission and unless he missed his guess, his baby girl might be coming back wearing a ring on her left hand.

"Yeah, they did. I only wish Natasha could see them now." Madison's mother said with a sigh of regret. She and Natasha had dreamed of this and yet she wasn't here to see it.

"Maybe she is. She was an angel on earth, why wouldn't she be one in heaven." Adien said with a smile. No matter how silly it sounded he had a feeling that not even God himself could stop his Natasha if she decided to come down and check on them every once and a while.

"Maybe she is." Madison's mother agreed with a smile. "I hope so."



"Aaawwwwwww come on Spinner. I know you know something about what Sakura made Syaoran for Christmas, come on, spill." Kero said with a pleading look.

"You know there's a reason she wouldn't tell you anything Kero. She knew you'd spill the beans. Besides, I don't know everything either. Just more then you." Spinner couldn't help adding with a smirk. They were sitting underneath the buffet table and as usual Kero was surrounded with empty wrappers and napkins and plates filled with either crumbs or food. Shaking his head Spinner helped himself to another oatmeal cookie from his single plate.

"Shut up Suppi baby." Kero said using the hated nickname before he shoved an entire chocolate cupcake into his mouth with a smirk. "So what do you know about it then?"

"I'm not telling you anything. So when are they suppose to arrive anyway?" Spinner said before he broke down and told Kero exactly what he had to look forward to.

"Anytime. Its too bad she had to bring the Brats with her." Kero said licking his face to get all the crumbs. "Oh well it could be worse I guess. At least he's not bringing his sisters." He added shivering at the thought. Whenever they went to visit the Li kid he always gave the terrible four a wide berth. They were scarier then anything Kero had ever come against.

"Good point Keroberos. So I guess you'd better enjoy it well you still can. Soon you'll have to get use to having those sisters around." Spinner said with a smirk as he smiled to himself. He couldn't wait to see Kero's face when he found out Syaoran was planning on asking Sakura to marry him. He'd overheard Li and Eriol talking about it and Spinner knew that she'd say yes.

"What are you talking about Spinner?" Kero said slowly putting down the cookie he'd been about to shove into his mouth. Something was going on and he had a feeling that he wasn't going to like it one little bit.

"Just saying that if you thought Tori's bad you haven't seen nothing yet. In fact maybe you ended up with Tori to help prepare you for Li's sisters."

"You tell me what you mean by that comment NOW!!!" Kero said dropping the cookie to stare at Spinner like he knew the secrets of the universe. Something bad was going to happen to him and Spinner knew about it.

"You'll see." Spinner said with a smile.



"So how hard do you think her brother's going to hit the roof?" Melin whispered to her cousin as they walked up the steps to Madison's house.

"Quiet Melin." Syaoran hissed not even wanting to think of how Tori was going to react. Or Kero for that matter. Smiling a little at the thought Syaoran sighed. Well he and Kero were going to have to learn to live with each other, literally. Shuddering a bit at the thought Syaoran had only to look beside him to know why he didn't kind that idea a fate worse then death. Because Sakura will be there too and nothing could possible be better, even if the stupid guardian came with her.

"He won't be that bad, he wouldn't dare." Sakura said as she snuggled into Syaoran's side. "Or else." She added with a sinister look.

"Everything will be fine Sakura." Melin said patting her friend on the shoulder. "I'll take care of him if it comes to that."

"Thanks Melin." Sakura said with a laugh. "He doesn't stand a chance against you."

"Who can." Syaoran said with a smirk as they were lead to the ballroom type room where they could already hear the sounds of serious partying going on.

"Why don't I see how things are going on in there and you two go freshen up. Sakura your hair loos like its coming out a bit." Melin said with a sweet smile. It wasn't but she wanted to have a little talk with Tori before he found out about the engagement.

"Sounds like a good idea." Syaoran said sending Melin a thankful look. Grabbing Sakura's hand he led her off to fix her hair.



"Psst Julian."

Julian turned his head to see Melin half hidden in the shadows motioning him over. Telling Tori he'd be right back Julian made his way over to her.

"Hi Melin. Where's Sakura and Syaoran?" Julian said looking around for them. "Why are you hiding?" He added looking at her with a puzzled look. "Tori didn't mean it when he said he'd like to send you to the Arctic you know."

"I'm not hiding from him. As if I ever would be." Melin said looking slightly insulted. "'I need to ask you a question about Tori. If he were to hear that Sakura and Syaoran were getting married how would he react?"

"About as well as if you told him he was going to marry Ruby Moon." Julian said with a smile and wink. "I take it from your question that Tori is going to hear about an engagement tonight?"

"Damn, I figured that's how he would react. They're planning on announcing it tonight and I won't let that dufus ruin it." Melin said with a glare in Tori's direction.

"Well then I guess we'll have to make sure he doesn't." Julian said with a smile as he leaned up against the wall.

"I guess we will." Melin said with a similar grin. "I guess we will."



"Well, here we go." Syaoran said bringing her hand to his lips. "Ready to face the mob of well wishers?"

"Lets do it." Sakura said with a brave smile as she squeezed his hand. "And if Tori goes for your throat I'll change his body with Kero's."

"Now that I'd pay to see." Syaoran said with a smirk as he squeezed her hand back. Opening the door they walked in together.

"Sakura!" Madison cried as she ran over to envelope her best friend in a tight embrace. "You finally made it."

"Happy New Year Madison." Sakura said with a smile as she hugged her friend back tightly. She'd really missed Madison.

"Hi Syaoran." Madison said looking over Sakura's shoulder. 'How was your flight? Where's Melin?" She added looking around.

"She's around here somewhere Madison." Sakura said drawing back. "I think I see her over there with Julian and Tori." She added motioning with her left hand.

"Sakura!" Madison yelped grabbing hold of Sakura's left hand. "Your wearing a ring on your left ring finger."

"That's generally where engagement rings go Madison." Syaoran said wrapping his arms around Sakura's waist. Practically squealing in delight Madison hugged them both several times before dragging them both over to where Eriol stood talking to Nikki and Rika.

"Rika, Eriol, Nikki." Sakura called pulling away from Madison and Syaoran to run over and hug her friends happily.

"Sakura you look great." Rika said with a huge smile.

"Ditto." Nikki chimed in as she admired the beautiful green Chinese styled dress. "But the you always look good."

"And check out her left hand." Madison chimed in with a huge grin. Instantly all eyes were on her hand and she had two more screaming girls to hug her and Syaoran and give them their congratulations. Eriol congratulated them as well and soon it had gone through the crowd that Sakura Avelon had come back from China with a ring on her finger. And everyone came forth to offer their congratulations, except for Tori but then Julian and Melin had such a god grip on him that he couldn't move, much less tear Syaoran to pieces.
