Chapter 2: Life in the 30th Century
After breakfast, Nadi took Sakura on a tour of the town. Sakura noticed that it looked like her own town with a few exceptions. There were huge gardens in each yard, of either fruit or vegetables. No one drove cars or motorcycles. Most likely because they were too hard to maintain. People got places by walking. Everything was hand made right down to the shoes everyone wore. Nadi told Sakura she had to get some groceries so, the two of them were carrying two huge baskets of corn, baked goods, homemade dresses, and hand sewn quilts. Once at the grocery, items were exchanged and the two girls headed for home. They took a shortcut through the park, Sakura guessed it used to be King Penguin Park, and found the gardener. He was in charge of the nearby flower shop and making the parks look beautiful. Nadi stopped to talk to him and gave him some new linens in exchange for fresh flowers to fill the house. The two girls got home in time for supper and helped Suki get supper ready. (They had stopped for lunch at a local café) After supper, Nadi gave Sakura a tour of the house and insisted on putting the cherry blossoms, the gardener had given her, in Sakura's room. Soon it was time for bed and Sakura decided to read some in the diary she found.
Dear Diary, I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to write in you. Lately I feel like I don't know if I'm coming or going. We had a funeral for Sakura, not long after I wrote last, and it was unbearable. A few weeks later her brother married his best friend Yukito (no big surprise) and her father sold the house, moving to a smaller house in a different city. Yukito and Touya are thinking of moving to America. Eriol and I decided to go to the same college not far from home. Yesterday was the last day of school and Eriol asked me to go out with him. Of course I said yes.
Syaorans been writing me everyday. He became leader of the Li clan and met a wonderful girl named Shu Lin. From what he says about her she seems nice. Meilin told me that he still isn't over Sakura, but is trying to move on. Meilin also found a guy named Alan. He's an exchange student from America. They are thinking of going to college in America. I just found out today that I got excepted into Tomoeda University. I'm going to study Fashion Design and maybe Music. Eriol also got in and he's planning on studying English Lit. He's really good at it. Mom said she would have to move to Tokyo so she'd be closer to her new job. She said I could keep the house if I wanted and I do. Eriol's already agreed to live with me so the house won't seem so empty. We will have separate rooms on either side of the house to keep temptations at bay. Neither one of us is ready to take the relationship to the next level anyway. I keep fresh cherry blossoms everywhere so I can remember my dear Sakura. I even made a shrine to her. Well, it's time for supper and I don't want to keep Eriol waiting.
Yours Truly, Daidouji Tomoyo
P.S. Kero lives with me as well. He gets all the pudding he wants.
Dear Diary,
I got a letter from Meilin today. She's getting married! Can you believe it? I think she's a little young, but that's just my opinion. She married a nice Chinese man (It didn't end up working out with Alan) and they plan on going to college in America. Something that surprised me, was she warned me that Syaoran may not be himself when he writes his next letter. She said he's gotten very moody and depressed lately. Frankly I understand. Eriol had to help me get over a major bout of depression too. I just can't say it enough. I really miss Sakura-chan. Eriol said that after awhile, Kero's magical energy will drain off and he will die. It's something none of us really wants to think about. We still can't seem to find the Clow book with the Clow cards. Eriol seems to think they were passed on to whoever is next to be the cardcaptor.
I'm doing really well in school and all the teachers love my designs. I sing in the choir after school and everyone thinks I have the best voice. Eriol is doing well in school too. He really loves his major and everyone enjoys hearing his stories. (He's a lot better at them than Yamazaki) Speaking of Yamazaki, Chiharu and he got married last week. It was a really beautiful wedding. Chiharu told me that if Sakura were still alive, she would be Chiharu's maid of honor. It made all of us cry. Rika and Mr. Terada aren't planing on getting married until Rika finishes College. I think that's smart because Rika is too young to start a family. I really can't think of anything else to say so, I'll leave it at that.
Yours Truly, Tomoyo
Sakura knew that she would be finding out how events lead up to the present in this 'diary'. She just wasn't sure if she could take it. She put the book down and drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
The next day Sakura woke bright and early. Today she was making breakfast and she couldn't afford to be late. After breakfast she helped Nadi harvest the corn. When that was done, she helped clean the house. She loved to clean so, it was no problem making the house sparkle. After supper, Nadi and Sakura went for a walk. Sakura had to admit there was something special about doing things a much simpler way.
Authors Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. A word about the chapters, I'm sorry that they are short. For a while I got in my head that each scene or whatever had to be separated by a chapter. I tried to fix it in my editing, but I liked it the way it was. I promise my next story will have longer chapters ;)
