A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews! *gobbles them up* I live off them! For those of you who've only watched the dub:
Tomoyo Daidouji = Madison Taylor
Xiaolan = Li
Eriol Hiirigazawa = Eli Moon
Nakuru = Ruby
I think that's it. If I'm missing anyone, please let me know.

"Tomoyo Daidouji. You are allowed to live once more."
"Really? Wow!"
"You'll be sent down to Earth soon. Sakura and Xiaolan are still there."
"Great!"
Tomoyo looked through a gap in the clouds. Such a long distance to the ground! But, she flew down, amethyst hair sparkling with the sunlight.
"T-T-Tomoyo?!"
"I thought you-"
"They let me live again!!"
"Wow! Everyone else will think you're finally back from that trip!"
Tomoyo smiled at Sakura.
"I'm so happy... I wonder what else might happen..."
***
"Eriol Hiirigazawa."
"Yes?"
"You are allowed to live again."
"P-pardon?!"
"I do not know why."
"..."
"You can go up now."
"All right."
Eriol winked.
"I'll be back!"
"Ha. I'll be expecting you."
Eriol flew up, night wings flapping silently. The flames licked at his dark hair and pale face. Tortured souls stopped their moaning to stare blankly at Eriol, wishing they were him. Their torture went on, but his stopped, if only for a while.
"Eriol!"
Eriol turned to the voice, Sakura.
"You're finally back! I thought Nakuru-san said you moved for good!"
"Eh, well, I decided Tokyo was better," he lied.
"This is so odd... first Tomoyo comes back from her trip, and now you!"
"Tomoyo? Who's she?"
"Oh, I haven't introduced you yet, have I? Just a second... TOMOYO!!"
"YES, SAKURA-CHAN?!"
"COME MEET ERIOL-SAN!!"
"COMING!!"
Tomoyo ran up, giggling.
"Hello, Eriol-san!!"
"Eriol, this is Tomoyo. Tomoyo, you've probably figured out, this is Eriol!"
"Good day, Tomoyo."
"Nice to meet you!"
"You have to meet Xiaolan, too, Eriol! XIAOLAN!!"
"WHAT?!"
"COME MEET ERIOL!!"
"Coming... no need to yell!"
Li grumbled as he walked up to Sakura.
"What?"
"Don't be like that, Xiaolan. Anyway, this is Eriol. Eriol, this is Xiaolan!"
"Hmph."
"Translation: ditto," Sakura said, smiling.
"Ah, I should get going. Wei and Meiling will be mad if I get home late. Bye."
"Bye," Sakura said, waving. "That reminds me, I have to get something sweet for Kero."
"Who's Kero?"
"Eh... a friend."
"Oh. I see. I'd like to meet him sometime!"
"Uh... all right, I guess. Gotta go now! Ja ne!"
"Ja, Sakura!!" Tomoyo said.
"Do you have to go anywhere?" Eriol asked Tomoyo.
"Not right now. It's been five years since I was last here... I want to take a walk around," she replied.
"I'll go with you."
Tomoyo and Eriol walked through the neighborhood, sakura petals raining down upon them.
"The sakura is my favorite flower," Eriol said.
"Mine, too!"
"Tomoyo?"
"Yes?"
"What was it like, the place you visited?"
"Oh... It was beautiful, it was paradise, it was heaven."
"Ah. It must have been great if you stayed there for five years."
"It was, it was... where did you move to?"
"It wasn't a very good place. I was considered fortunate, since nothing happened to me there. It was Hell for everyone."
"Oh... poor you..."
A complete sakura flower fell from a tree and landed on Tomoyo's ponytail.
"Tomoyo, you have a sakura in your ponytail. Wait, don't take it off."
Tomoyo stopped with her arm raised.
"You look very nice with it," Eriol said. Tomoyo lowered her arm.
"Thanks," she said, smiling. There was a brief silence.
"I don't know what made me come back, I mean, the place where I was wasn't really too bad... Maybe it was fate. Maybe something's supposed to happen here."
"Maybe... but let's just enjoy our return first."
"Yes."
Eriol and Tomoyo walked along beside each other, blending in among the sakura petals.
