Hi everybody! My friend is typing the last chapter to my GIVING IT UP story. I feel so special! ^_^ I will be able to write this story now, but I don't know what to title it! Oh well. If I think of something then I'll come back and title it. For now... here I go!
Syaoran: "How come every time I always seem to be the victim here?!? I mean, MELTING OF THE STONE HEART?!? OoOoh, I wonder who THAT is." Crosses his arms and glares at Sapphire Midnight.
Sapphire Midnight: "Heh heh, heh... well, you just happen to be the easiest person to make as the... well... victim as you call it. Besides...(grins)... It's SO much fun!"
Syaoran: "I don't think so," he grumbles mainly to himself.
Sapphire Midnight: "Well, at least it The MELTING Of The Stone Heart. I could have made you a mean, lowly, little..."
Syaoran: "WHY do you always do this to me? You always try to get me to realize that it could have been worse... and that I should be happy the way it is. Will you at LEAST tell me the ending?!?"
Sapphire Midnight: "No," I said simply, grinning evily. "I LOVE to torcher you Syaoran. It's so EASY! It's what I LIVE for!"
Syaoran: "Then you live for a pretty dumb reason," he mumbled.
Sapphire Midnight: Narrows eyes at him. "I heard that, and besides... that was kind of mean to yourself too."
Syaoran: "Whatever."
Sapphire Midnight: "Can I start the story now or what?"
Syaoran: "..."
Sapphire Midnight: Getting angry. "Well?!?"
Syaoran: "..."
Sapphire Midnight: "FINE! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! I'M TYPING THIS OUT WHETHER YOU WANT ME TO OR NOT!"
Syaoran: "I didn't say I didn't want you to."
Sapphire Midnight: "YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!"
Syaoran: "Well, go ahead and write it then. I don't really care. Don't let me stop you."
Sapphire Midnight: "I WON'T!"
Syaoran: "Jeesh! SOMEONE has a problem."
Sapphire Midnight: humming and ignoring Syaoran.
Syaoran: `-_-
Sapphire Midnight: "Alrighty then! I feel better! On with the third chapter!"
Syaoran: "Talk about mood swings."

*****Sakura*****
Tomoyo and I walked to the castle garden, admiring all of the beautiful flowers and cherry blossom trees. It was a beautiful day out and all of the birds were singing their lovely songs as butterflies fluttered by. The sun's rays were streaming down on our faces as I smiled, enjoying Tomoyo's company.
"Maybe it will not be so bad after all," I said, speaking my thoughts out loud.
"Hum?" Tomoyo asked, and I blushed the tiniest shade of crimson.
"I really did not want to come. For some reason I felt like it would be better if I stayed at home in our summer palace. My parents talked me into going really. I thought it would be boring, and then I found out that you would be here. That's why I came."
"Well, I'm glad you did. I thought I would be the only one here who would not try to wed the Prince. Now I will have someone to talk to."
"Wait a second," I said, freezing on the spot. "What do you mean by saying something about wedding the Prince?" I asked, suddenly turning very pale.
"Didn't you know? That is one of the main resons why everyone is here."
"I think my parents left out that little detail," I growled.
Tomoyo giggled. "Oh, Sakura, it won't be that bad. We will have eachother to talk to."
"Thank goodness for THAT," I said, mad at my parents more than ever. Whet were they trying to do? Wed me off?!? I will marry for love thank you very much. I clenched my fists uncontiously.
"There are three main reasons why everyone came," Tomoyo continued. "First of all, Queen Yelan wants to marry her youngest son off because he is the heir to the throne. Second, it's sort of like a get together so all of the Princes and Princesses can meet eachother and become friends so hopefully there will not be any future misshaps. Third, everyone here is to learn about the oter Kingdoms and land and all about... everything. It should be very interesting. I think there is a leagend or something. That's what we will be learning.
"Well, at least my parents told me SOME truth. But why would it be so important for me to come here?" I asked, getting frusterated.
"Maybe they just wanted you to be happy," Tomoyo suggested.
`How would they know I would be happy?` I thought to myself.
"Anyway," Tomoyo was saying as we neared the cherry blossom trees, "How have you been for the last three years?"
I could hear the sorrow and hurt in her voice. I looked at her and then she looked at me, giving a little smile that seemed so sad.
"I'm sorry, Tomoyo. I would have visited, but it just wasn't safe!" We sat down under a cherry blossom tree and I tried to explain.
*****Syaoran*****
I was sitting on a fairly high branch when I saw two girls approaching. `They better not see me,` I thought to myself. I held my breath when they started walking straight towards the tree I was sitting on. `Great,` I thought sarcastacly. `It looks like I'll be up here for a while.`
"Maybe they just wanted you to be happy," said the girl with dark long hair.
The other girl didn't look too convinced. She had red-brown hair that hung down to her mid back. She had the most amazing emerald green eyes I have ever seen. It seemed to give away all of her emotions and thoughts. I shook my head as if to clear it. What was I thinking? She's just an average annoying girl who's hear for my mothers stupid get together. And when I say get together I mean her idea of, LETS SEE WHO IS THE PRETTIES AND NICEST AND WHO CAN WIN SYAORAN'S HEART. `Well, sorry to tell you mother, but I'm not planning on marrying any time soon.` I thougt bitterly to myself.
The two girls sat down under MY tree. Out of all the trees they could have chosen it HAD to be this one. Just great!
"Anyway, how have you been for the last three years?" The girl with lavendar eyes asked. [AN: No, he can't see their eyes right now, but he noticed them earlier when he was GAZING DREAMILY into Sakura's. Of course, Sakura and Tomoyo do not know thet he is there. ^-^ he he he.]
"I'm sorry, Tomoyo." There was a lot of remorse in her voice. "I would have visited but it just wasn't safe!"
`So,` I thought to myself. `The girl with lavendar eyes is Princess Tomoyo. I've heard of her before. They both must be really close if they do not title eachothers names.` My thoughts were interupted by their talking again.
"If I left the palace and tried to go through the streets to your Kingdom, well, I don't know if I would have made it out of there alive!" Tears were forming in her eyes.
"Is it really that bad?" Princess Tomoyo asked. She reached out and gave the other girl a hug. The other Princess sniffed, wiping away her tears.
`It's bad to eavsdrop. It's not right,` I told myself over and over. My curiosity got the better of me and soon I was leaning over to hear better.
"Yes," she said sadly. "But it is getting better. The people are no longer against us. We found out that Tokurashi was leading them on all along! He changed their points of veiw and made them turn against us! I don't know everything that happened, but some how my parents settled everything. When I asked my mother what happened, she said it was all just a missunderstanding. That's all she would tell me." She sighed, plainly worroed.
"But your here now. No one ambushed you or anything. Won't Tokurashi just give up now that he doesn't have all of those people following him?"
"I don't know Tomoyo. I just don't know."
"Well, we can always talk about something else. A more happy subject," Tomoyo said, seemingly sly.
The other girl giggled and I could tell that she was a normally cheerful person. What ever was going on at her Kingdom must be very serious to get her worried.
"Alright, what do you want to know?" The girl asked, trying to keep the laughture out of her voice.
"Everything!" Princess Tomoyo said excitedly. She reminded me of a little kid who was begging for sweets from the kitchen lady. Not that I've ever done that before. ^-^
"I've captured all of them except Thunder, Firey,[AN: Please don't get mad at me for spelling it this way. For those of you that like Fiery better... well, I just typed it so be happy. ^_^] and Fight."
I stared down at the top of her head. She couldn't possibly mean... could she? Of course not! I mean...
"That's great!" Princess Tomoyo exclaimed. "Will you have to do the final judgement?"
The other girl shook her head. "I don't think so. Kero and Yue already except me. It's because of my mother. They serve both of us. When Kero becomes Keroberos, then it will be like nothing has changed. He will still be my friend and give me advice when I need it. He will always protect me."
"And Yue?"
"He is... also my friend. We have become closer than we were, but I don't know if he trusts me completely. He's with my mother at the moment. I think he... also suspects something."
"what do you mean by that?" Princess Tomoyo asked.
The other princess shook her end, ending the discussion. Princess Tomoyo knew better than to pry.
Then the bells started ringing, signaling the start for dinner in the dining hall. The two Princesses slowly rose to their feet and walked towards the castle, talking about other, more happy topics. I didn't move a muscel. What I just heard made all the sense in the world, yet no sense at all. I couldn't believe my ears.
`So, the princess with the green eyes not only had a very powerful aurora, but she happened to be the Cardcaptor. She's going through a crisis at home, and she still has to capture three more cards. Did I leave anything out?!?` My head was spinning with all of this information. `SHE'S CARDCAPTOR!!!` kept running through my head. `SHE is CARDCAPTOR?!?`
I sat there, dumbfounded. All my life I had drempt of being Cardcaptor. I never really thought it would come true. Now I knew it wouldn't. I never thought I would ever get to meet the Cardcaptor, and here she sat right below my tree. I didn't know if I was mad, jealous, or in awe. I now knew who the Cardcaptor was. Yet... I never got her name.
I jumped off of the branch and made my way to the Palace. I had a few questions that needed to be answered. That meant skipping dinner and finding mother. I wasn't planning on eating with the rest of the new comers anyway. I probably wouldn't be able to get one bite of food in my mouth none-the-less. I didn't want to be swarmed around a myriad Princesses OR get glared at from all of the Princes. I simply wanted some peace and quiet. Is that too much to ask?
Okay everyone. My computer is acting up on me again so I'm going to stop here. It's a good place to stop anyway. Well... what did you think? Is it easier to understand now? I sure hope so! As always... PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT when you review! I feel so SPECIAL! Thanks for waiting patiently! I have to hurry and upload this now so I think I'll stop blabbering. R&R!!! ^_^
