Epilogue
Sakura and Syaoran walked hand in hand through the large cemetery. They then stopped when they came up to a large maple tree. Under the tree were two tombstones, one lying next to the other. Sakura saw some fresh flowers were already next to them and she allowed herself a small smile.
'I guess Meiling came before us'
She then laid down the freshly picked flowers that she and Syaoran had brought for their friends. She then read the writing on Stacey's Tombstone: Stacy Ann Almer, 1983-2001 a friend to us all. Stacy was truly an angel sent from above whom sacrificed her life in order to see others happy. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and will you now be forever happy with the one you truly love. Sakura then stood up with tears present in her eyes. Syaoran embraced her in a tight hug. They then said a quick prayer to Stacy and Andrew.
"Thank you for everything Stacy"
Sakura said as she wiped a tear from her eye.
"I'm glad you're happy again"
Li added. They then stayed for a few more minutes and then headed back towards the mansion.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Five days later*
It was a Saturday afternoon and Sakura and Tomoyo were now at the airport along with Syaoran and his entire family. Kero had gone on ahead flying a few days ago complaining on how he didn't want to be stuffed into a knapsack again. The couple of five days had been great. Sakura and Syaoran went out on numerous dates and watched more sunrises together. They tried to make up for the time lost.
"Last call for flight number 3112 going to Tokyo, Japan, please start boarding at gate 10" came a voice through the intercom.
"That's our flight"
Tomoyo said as she picked up her camcorder equipment bag (SN: of course though her camcorder was out, seeing if she could catch a cute S+S moment ^. ^)
The two girls then said a teary good-bye to Syaoran's sisters and mom. Tomoyo then turned to Meiling.
"Well, this is it! I'm gonna miss you so much!"
she then gave Meiling a good bye hug.
"Don't worry, I'll go visit you guys someday soon"
She then winked at Tomoyo
"and as soon as Syaoran finishes business here in Hong Kong, I'll drag his cute lil'butt to Japan so you can catch more cute moments!"
"Although, I don't think you'll have to force him, he himself would hope on the first flight heading to Japan!"
they then laughed once more. Next to Sakura, Meiling was Tomoyo's best friend.
"I'm gonna miss ya!"
Sakura said as she came up to Meiling and gave her a hug. Meiling smiled
"me too, take care Sakura and don't forget about us!"
"I won't, I'll write and call you as much as I can. Meiling could you please…"
"watch over Syaoran for you? Sure Sakura! Anything for one of my closest friends ever!" Meiling said while smiling. Sakura's face brightened up automatically
"really! You'll do that for me! Thank you so much Meiling"
while Sakura and Meiling continued to say good-bye, Tomoyo and Syaoran were also saying their good-bye too.
"Good-bye Tomoyo, take care of Sakura for me"
Syaoran said as he gave her one last hug.
"I will, but I still don't think it's fair that you can't go back with us to Japan"
"I'm sorry but I swear that as soon as I finish here, I'll go back to Japan"
Tomoyo then saw Sakura approaching them. She smiled and said to Syaoran
"someone's here to say bye"
she then moved out of the way so the couple could be together. Sakura then automatically ran into Syaoran's arms and he held her close.
"Oh Syaoran! I don't want to leave!!"
he gently caressed her hair
"but you have to, your family, and school are waiting for you"
he then lifted up her chin and said
"I promise that as soon as I finish business here, I'll come back to you. Until then, how about I call you every afternoon?"
Sakura's eyes lightened up
"you promise?"
"I swear"
their lips then met into one final kiss (SN: at least for now ^_~)
"how Kawaii!!!!!"
Tomoyo squealed from behind her camera. They then turned to look at Tomoyo and smiled.
"uh-oh, you two better get going or you're gonna miss your flight!"
Lil said.
"good"
Sakura mumbled
"oh crap! And all my clothes are already in! Sakura, we gotta go!!"
Tomoyo said as she grabbed her duffel bag in one hand and tried to pull Sakura away from Syaoran with the other.
"bye!"
they both yelled out once more before they disappeared into the tunnel…
*A few minutes later*
Syaoran watched as the plane carrying his sweet cherry blossom flew into the air. How he wished he was with her at the moment. Yelan looked at her son. She felt bad, because it was his family that was holding him away from his one true love. She then turned towards her daughters and niece, and they all nodded in approval. The knew what their mother was about to do (SN: bet ya know too!) she then went up to her son's side and said
"you know, a person shouldn't be far from the one they love"
Syaoran then turned to look at his mother. Was she saying was he thought she was? She then gave him a warm hug
"go to her"
she whispered into his ear. A small smile crept onto Li's face, this was the best thing that could happen! But then his smile faded.
"but what about the elders? What will they say?"
"don't worry, Mandy will take your place as leader until you return, but…"
Li frowned, he knew he was gonna have a condition put on him. there was no way the elders were gonna let him off the hook that easily.
"you can't take up your position as leader until you make Sakura you wife"
'is that all?'
he thought. He then hugged his mother back
"thanks mom…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Monday morning*
"Sakura…Sakura….SAKURA WAKE UP!!"
Kero yelled at the top of his lungs.
"go away!!"
Sakura said as she tried to swap Kero away with her hands in an effort to shut him up. "don't get mad at me just cuz the brat didn't call you yesterday afternoon like he promised"
Sakura groaned as she sat up in bed. She was having a weird dream until Kero had to bring her crashing back into reality.
"well it's about time, it's 7:00am already!"
Sakura seemed to turn into a human tornado upon hearing that.
"KERO!! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP EARLIER!!"
Kero gave a sigh 'some things never change' he thought. Meanwhile Sakura was trying to brush her hair, put on her uniform, put on her make-up, and stuff all of her books inside her book bag all at once (SN: that's just like me in the mornings ^_^; except minus the uniform. No way would I be caught dead in one!)
"bye Kero!"
she called out as she as she ran out of her room. She then ran into the kitchen where her brother and father were having breakfast. Touya looked up at his sister and said
"well, well, well, it seems like the squirt finally decided to grace us with her presence" Sakura glared at her brother as she grabbed a piece of toast in one hand and her car keys in the other.
"bye dad, bye annoying brother!"
Sakura said as she dashed out of her house…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Please don't ring, please don't ring"
Sakura thought as she made her way throughout the now almost empty hallway. She immediately ran into her classroom and took a seat. She gave out a sigh of relief. At least she made it on time.
"just in time as usual?" Tomoyo asked while smiling at Sakura.
"yeah!"
Sakura said as she smiled back.
"Hey Sakura, how was spring break?"
Sakura looked forward to see Jeremy at his desk facing back to look at her.
"oh I had a great time!"
Sakura said happily as an image of Syaoran popped into her mind.
"that's good to hear, so I was wondering, would you like to go out with me sometime this week? We could get some dinner, catch a movie, I dunno whatever you want"
"Jeremy I…"
RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!
(SN: Hehehehe…haven't done that since chapter 1) Jeremy just smiled at Sakura and said "tell me after school alright? I'll be trying out for soccer this afternoon and you got chearleading practice, so I'll see you after that"
(SN: I know, I know, soccer is a fall sport ^_^; but hey! Like I said, my fic, my rules!) he then turned to face the front and before Sakura could say anything else, the teacher began…
"May I have your attention class, I have a surprise for you all"
"great…another pop quiz to bring my math grade crashing down faster than the speed of light"
Sakura mumbled to Tomoyo. Tomoyo tried to cover her laughter
"I don't see what you're laughing at, if you are in the same situation as I am"
Sakura said as she raised an eyebrow.
That was it, Tomoyo burst out laughing
"would you two girls like to share what's so humorous with the rest of the class?"
the teacher asked while eyeing both girls.
"no!"
both Sakura and Tomoyo said abruptly.
"oh but I insist, humor us" (SN: I hate it when teachers do that!)
"Well, ummm…I told Tomoyo that your surprise is probably some sort of pop quiz"
"and you find that hilarious Ms. Daidouji?"
the teacher said while eyeing Tomoyo. Tomoyo just stayed quiet, not saying anything. "well anyway, no. although it's a good idea, my surprise is not a pop quiz"
the whole class let out a sigh of relief.
"please welcome the following students. Some of you might know them from back in fifth grade. Syaoran Li, Eriol Hiiragazawa (SN: Damn! Dude's got a long last name!) you can come in."
Syaoran walked in first with a scowl on his face and was glaring at Eriol. Eriol just walked in with his usual smile. Sakura and Tomoyo just stood there in shock. "d...d…did you know about this?"
Sakura asked Tomoyo. Tomoyo and Eriol had kept a long-distance relationship for a couple of years now.
"no"
She answered equally surprised. She couldn't take her eyes off Eriol and Eriol couldn't take his eyes off of her. After Syaoran finished scowling at Eriol he took a look around the classroom and his eyes rested on a certain girl with auburn hair and deep emerald eyes. She was sitting in the last row, second seat from the back. He smiled at her and mouthed out the word 'surprise.' Sakura smiled back at him, clearly happy with the surprise.
'so that's why he didn't call me yesterday afternoon'
"well, why don't you two go ahead and take a seat in those empty chairs at the back"
the teacher told Eriol and Syaoran. Eriol than took a seat behind Madison and Syaoran took a seat behind Sakura
"just like old times"
he whispered into her ears. Sakura giggled softly. All of a sudden, math didn't seem so bad after all.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~*Lunch time*~
Sakura was looking around in hopes of spotting Syaoran. She didn't even bother looking for Tomoyo cuz she knew she was probably somewhere with Eriol. (SN: hehehehe…I wonder what they were doing *snicker*) Finally, she spotted him……along with a bunch of other girls that seemed to be following his every move. (SN: *snicker* that's kinda like my friend Marco. I feel so sorry for him ^_^; he's got all these little freshman girls who seem to be stalking him) "Hi Syaoran!"
Sakura called out as she ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck
"hey"
he said as he bend his head forward and gave her a kiss on the lips. The 'admirers' looked at the couple, gave Sakura a few death glares, and finally walked away.
"I'm sorry I can't have lunch with you today Sakura. I have to go and settle some things at the main office, plus I'm gonna go sign up for soccer"
Sakura just smiled
"It's OK! As long as you promise me to take me out tonight!"
Syaoran smiled back
"I promise"
they kissed one last time before they separated.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*After School*~
Chearleading practice was over. Sakura was now heading towards the soccer field when all of a sudden she saw Jeremy coming her way. He had a like a somewhat disappointed look on his face.
"hey Sakura"
"hi Jeremy, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, it's just that they named that new kid Captain and now since he's captain, I'm CO-captain of the soccer team now."
"really! Ohmigosh Syaoran got named Captain! I knew he could do it, he's the best! You know he lead his team back in Hong Kong to championship 3 years in a row! And—oh no! I'm so sorry Jeremy"
she didn't want to make him feel any worse than he already was, it's just that those words kinda just slipped. Jeremy though just smiled at her
"It's OK, just as long as he's good for the team and we can win. By the way, how do you know so much about him? isn't he new?"
"oh no! Syaoran came to Tomoeda seven years ago. He stayed here though for only two years. We became really close friends in that short period of time. As a matter a fact, this spring break, Tomoyo and I wen to visit him in Hong Kong. He's a really special person to me. we've gone through a lot together as kids…and even now!"
Sakura said remembering Stacy.
"well anywayz, about that date I was asking you in math class"
Jeremy said in an attempt to change the subject
"how about tonight?" Sakura gave a sigh. She knew what she had to do.
"actually Jeremy, when I went to visit Syaoran during spring break we ummmm…started dating. Syaoran's my boyfriend"
"oh really? Well, ummm…that's great Sakura. I didn't know that. well, he's a lucky guy! Anywayz, I hope you're happy with him"
Sakura gave Jeremy a smile. He was a true friend indeed.
"thanks for understanding"
Sakura said as she gave him a friendly hug. She then let go and continued on her way to meet up with Syaoran.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*That Night*~
Sakura and Syaoran were standing together near a cliff that overlooked the entire city. They watched the star-filled sky and the beautiful lights of the city that was brightly lit below them. Syaoran then turned to look at Sakura and pulled something out of his pocket.
"Sakura, I want you to have this"
he than held out a velvet box which held a beautiful gold ring with a single pink-diamond at the center. The stone was shaped sort of like a cherry blossom. Sakura gasped in awe. The ring was absolutely beautiful.
"is this a…"
Syaoran shook his head
"no, it's not an engagement ring"
Sakura's happy expression changed to a disappointed one.
"It's a promise ring. A promise that someday I will give you a true engagement ring and ask you to be my wife"
Sakura's eyes automatically lit up.
"plus, if I gave you an engagement ring right now, your brother would come after me and kill me."
Syaoran added jokingly. Sakura punched him lightly
"silly"
She said while smiling. Syaoran than slipped the ring into her finger…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*13 years later*~
Sakura sat in the car, her husband sitting by her side and her children in the back seat. She was in a state of tranquillity
"Mommy, Daddy! Andrew is bothering me again!"
Sakura opened her eyes and started to feel weird. It was like déjà vu. She than remembered that weird dream she always had when she was seventeen.
'weird'
She thought she then turned to look at the back seat and saw her daughter pouting. She giggled softly. The girl had auburn hair like her mother and deep amber eyes like her fathers. Although she had her father's eyes, she had that special glint in her eyes that was clearly Sakura's.
"Are we there yet?"
asked an impatient 10 year-old. He was sitting next to his sister and had a bored expression on his face. He had his father's hair and his mother's eyes. Yet they held the seriousness that his father had.
"Andrew, stop bothering your sister and we'll be there soon."
He gave a deep sigh upon hearing his father's response and slouched back in his chair. "Hey pip squeak, stop moving so much"
he complained.
"Andrew, what did I say about name calling"
Sakura told her son in a warning voice.
"Well you and Touya do it all the time" Syaoran pointed out playfully. Sakura gave him her 'death glare', which she had perfected over the years and poked him playfully "you're not helping!"
She then turned back to her kids, only to find them glaring at each other. She gave out a deep sigh. Both kids had been blessed with their fathers glaring skills.
'This could take hours!'
"Stacy, Andrew. Stop it with the glaring contest."
"But daddy and uncle Touya do it all the time!"
Stacy answered back, not taking her glare off her brother. Sakura turned her attention to her husband.
"I thought you said you two stopped that."
"Well, I don't think you brother sees it that way."
Sakura gave a sigh as she leaned back on her seat. This had been an exhausting trip. Syaoran had to come back to Hong Kong to take care of some clan business. They then decided to make it a family vacation since the kids wanted to visit their grandmother and aunts. After a few more minutes they finally reached the mansion. The kids got out of the car happy.
"you think Tomoyo and Eriol already got here already?"
Sakura asked Syaoran as they made their way hand in hand towards the door. He looked around the parking lot.
"Yeah, there's their car."
Suddenly the door of the Mansion opened and Meiling, her husband, Eriol and Tomoyo along with their kids came outdoors.
"Annie! Karla!"
Stacy called as she ran to her two best friends. Meanwhile, Andrew was busy showing off his latest magic abilities to his cousins.
"long trip?"
Tomoyo asked as she came up to Sakura and Syaoran.
"too long"
Syaoran said while rolling his eyes. Sakura just laughed.
"well, it was mostly your idea to bring the kids so now you deal with it"
"remind me next time to leave them with Touya"
Syaoran said while giving an evil smile. Last time Stacy and Andrew stayed with Touya they had made his life a living hell and all because Syaoran asked them to.
"Syaoran"
Sakura said as she gave him her leave-my-brother-alone tone.
"what?"
he asked back innocently. He than gave her his best smiles which made Sakura go weak at the knees, even now.
"will you two ever stop?"
Eriol said as he came up to them.
"hey, don't mess with me or I'll turn my Andrew against you……again"
Syaoran said in a jokingly voice. Andrew had terrorized poor Eriol a couple of times that Eriol would now run away as soon as he saw a sword and elemental cards in Andrews hands. "not funny…your kid almost burned me down to a crisp last time, Tomoyo was the only one who could stop him" Eriol muttered back.
"Let's go inside, you mom and sisters are waiting for us,"
Meiling said as she came up to the two couples. They all then walked inside the house with their kids that followed close by…

After Syaoran finished scowling at Eriol he took a look around the classroom and his eyes rested on a certain girl with auburn hair and deep emerald eyes. She was sitting in the last row, second seat from the back. He smiled at her and mouthed out the word 'surprise.' Sakura smiled back at him, clearly happy with the surprise.
'so that's why he didn't call me yesterday afternoon'
"well, why don't you two go ahead and take a seat in those empty chairs at the back"
the teacher told Eriol and Syaoran. Eriol than took a seat behind Madison and Syaoran took a seat behind Sakura
"just like old times"
he whispered into her ears. Sakura giggled softly. All of a sudden, math didn't seem so bad after all.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~*Lunch time*~
Sakura was looking around in hopes of spotting Syaoran. She didn't even bother looking for Tomoyo cuz she knew she was probably somewhere with Eriol. (SN: hehehehe…I wonder what they were doing *snicker*) Finally, she spotted him……along with a bunch of other girls that seemed to be following his every move. (SN: *snicker* that's kinda like my friend Marco. I feel so sorry for him ^_^; he's got all these little freshman girls who seem to be stalking him) "Hi Syaoran!"
Sakura called out as she ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck
"hey"
he said as he bend his head forward and gave her a kiss on the lips. The 'admirers' looked at the couple, gave Sakura a few death glares, and finally walked away.
"I'm sorry I can't have lunch with you today Sakura. I have to go and settle some things at the main office, plus I'm gonna go sign up for soccer"
Sakura just smiled
"It's OK! As long as you promise me to take me out tonight!"
Syaoran smiled back
"I promise"
they kissed one last time before they separated.

~*After School*~
Chearleading practice was over. Sakura was now heading towards the soccer field when all of a sudden she saw Jeremy coming her way. He had a like a somewhat disappointed look on his face.
"hey Sakura"
"hi Jeremy, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, it's just that they named that new kid Captain and now since he's captain, I'm CO-captain of the soccer team now."
"really! Ohmigosh Syaoran got named Captain! I knew he could do it, he's the best! You know he lead his team back in Hong Kong to championship 3 years in a row! And—oh no! I'm so sorry Jeremy"
she didn't want to make him feel any worse than he already was, it's just that those words kinda just slipped. Jeremy though just smiled at her
"It's OK, just as long as he's good for the team and we can win. By the way, how do you know so much about him? isn't he new?"
"oh no! Syaoran came to Tomoeda seven years ago. He stayed here though for only two years. We became really close friends in that short period of time. As a matter a fact, this spring break, Tomoyo and I wen to visit him in Hong Kong. He's a really special person to me. we've gone through a lot together as kids…and even now!"
Sakura said remembering Stacy.
"well anywayz, about that date I was asking you in math class"
Jeremy said in an attempt to change the subject
"how about tonight?" Sakura gave a sigh. She knew what she had to do.
"actually Jeremy, when I went to visit Syaoran during spring break we ummmm…started dating. Syaoran's my boyfriend"
"oh really? Well, ummm…that's great Sakura. I didn't know that. well, he's a lucky guy! Anywayz, I hope you're happy with him"
Sakura gave Jeremy a smile. He was a true friend indeed.
"thanks for understanding"
Sakura said as she gave him a friendly hug. She then let go and continued on her way to meet up with Syaoran.

~*That Night*~
Sakura and Syaoran were standing together near a cliff that overlooked the entire city. They watched the star-filled sky and the beautiful lights of the city that was brightly lit below them. Syaoran then turned to look at Sakura and pulled something out of his pocket.
"Sakura, I want you to have this"
he than held out a velvet box which held a beautiful gold ring with a single pink-diamond at the center. The stone was shaped sort of like a cherry blossom. Sakura gasped in awe. The ring was absolutely beautiful.
"is this a…"
Syaoran shook his head
"no, it's not an engagement ring"
Sakura's happy expression changed to a disappointed one.
"It's a promise ring. A promise that someday I will give you a true engagement ring and ask you to be my wife"
Sakura's eyes automatically lit up.
"plus, if I gave you an engagement ring right now, your brother would come after me and kill me."
Syaoran added jokingly. Sakura punched him lightly
"silly"
She said while smiling. Syaoran than slipped the ring into her finger…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*13 years later*~
Sakura sat in the car, her husband sitting by her side and her children in the back seat. She was in a state of tranquillity
"Mommy, Daddy! Andrew is bothering me again!"
Sakura opened her eyes and started to feel weird. It was like déjà vu. She than remembered that weird dream she always had when she was seventeen.
'weird'
She thought she then turned to look at the back seat and saw her daughter pouting. She giggled softly. The girl had auburn hair like her mother and deep amber eyes like her fathers. Although she had her father's eyes, she had that special glint in her eyes that was clearly Sakura's.
"Are we there yet?"
asked an impatient 10 year-old. He was sitting next to his sister and had a bored expression on his face. He had his father's hair and his mother's eyes. Yet they held the seriousness that his father had.
"Andrew, stop bothering your sister and we'll be there soon."
He gave a deep sigh upon hearing his father's response and slouched back in his chair. "Hey pip squeak, stop moving so much"
he complained.
"Andrew, what did I say about name calling"
Sakura told her son in a warning voice.
"Well you and Touya do it all the time" Syaoran pointed out playfully. Sakura gave him her 'death glare', which she had perfected over the years and poked him playfully "you're not helping!"
She then turned back to her kids, only to find them glaring at each other. She gave out a deep sigh. Both kids had been blessed with their fathers glaring skills.
'This could take hours!'
"Stacy, Andrew. Stop it with the glaring contest."
"But daddy and uncle Touya do it all the time!"
Stacy answered back, not taking her glare off her brother. Sakura turned her attention to her husband.
"I thought you said you two stopped that."
"Well, I don't think you brother sees it that way."
Sakura gave a sigh as she leaned back on her seat. This had been an exhausting trip. Syaoran had to come back to Hong Kong to take care of some clan business. They then decided to make it a family vacation since the kids wanted to visit their grandmother and aunts. After a few more minutes they finally reached the mansion. The kids got out of the car happy.
"you think Tomoyo and Eriol already got here already?"
Sakura asked Syaoran as they made their way hand in hand towards the door. He looked around the parking lot.
"Yeah, there's their car."
Suddenly the door of the Mansion opened and Meiling, her husband, Eriol and Tomoyo along with their kids came outdoors.
"Annie! Karla!"
Stacy called as she ran to her two best friends. Meanwhile, Andrew was busy showing off his latest magic abilities to his cousins.
"long trip?"
Tomoyo asked as she came up to Sakura and Syaoran.
"too long"
Syaoran said while rolling his eyes. Sakura just laughed.
"well, it was mostly your idea to bring the kids so now you deal with it"
"remind me next time to leave them with Touya"
Syaoran said while giving an evil smile. Last time Stacy and Andrew stayed with Touya they had made his life a living hell and all because Syaoran asked them to.
"Syaoran"
Sakura said as she gave him her leave-my-brother-alone tone.
"what?"
he asked back innocently. He than gave her his best smiles which made Sakura go weak at the knees, even now.
"will you two ever stop?"
Eriol said as he came up to them.
"hey, don't mess with me or I'll turn my Andrew against you……again"
Syaoran said in a jokingly voice. Andrew had terrorized poor Eriol a couple of times that Eriol would now run away as soon as he saw a sword and elemental cards in Andrews hands. "not funny…your kid almost burned me down to a crisp last time, Tomoyo was the only one who could stop him" Eriol muttered back.
"Let's go inside, you mom and sisters are waiting for us,"
Meiling said as she came up to the two couples. They all then walked inside the house with their kids that followed close by…
