"Light and Dark cards!" Sakura called as the two appeared in front of me.

"Mistress…?" The two cards asked confused.

"Why was my son able to use the cards? He doesn't even know much magic… it seems impossible," Sakura asked.

"Well Mistress, since you have an unbreakable connection with him and always want him to be protected, you somehow allowed him to have access to the cards. He can summon up the cards whenever he wishes," The Light explained.

"And Mistress, you look beautiful," The Dark added.

"Thank-you you two, now please return to your card forms," Sakura asked sighing. She was just about to enter for the ball when she decided she would do this first. Sakura was dressed in a long forest green shimmering dress. It was sleeveless, so she had a shawl wrapped around her shoulders. Her hair was done up in a French twist, with a few glittering clips here and there.

"Are you ready to go Sakura?" Tomoyo asked as she came up to her younger sister. She was dressed in a navy blue gown that glittered whenever she moved and it too was sleeveless. She had matching gloves that went up to her elbows. Her hair was done up in an elegant bun and had a bunch of glitter in her dark hair to finish off the look.

"Come on you guys, everything's going to start now," Chiharu said walking towards her two older sisters. Chiharu was dressed in a pale red glimmering dress that clung to her at the top and loosened up from her waist. There were glittering flowers going from the bottom of the dress to her mid- stomach. Her hair was half up in an elegant bun, similar to Tomoyo's, while the rest was left down, having it drop curled.

"Are you ladies ready to go?" Eriol asked with a charming smile. All of the guys were dressed the same. All had messy hair and were dressed in a tux with a white shirt. The only thing different were their ties. Eriol had a navy blue one, Takashi had a red one, and Syaoran had a forest green one.

"And now please welcome the princesses and their escorts of the evening. They will be opening up this evening's dancing with a traditional ballroom dancing performance," they heard someone announce. They each walked in with their partners, got into position and waited for the orchestra to start up. Once it did they moved in perfect grace and unison, each looking in each other's eyes smiling. As the song slowly faded away, everyone clapped as Eriol, Syaoran and Takashi bowed to Tomoyo, Sakura and Chiharu. Just as everyone was about to start dancing again… they were interrupted.

"WAIT! I demand that all listen to me. Sakura is mine and I don't like the idea of her being engaged to the man she was previously engaged to! Along with her sisters as well," Chris shouted as he made his way through the crowd to the middle of the dance floor. (A/N: Remember him?) Everyone was in shock including the usual six. They had no idea this was going to happen again. They crowd started whisper about the disturbance.

"And what say do you have?" Sakura asked coldly. "It's my life and you have no say what so ever what happens in it. Now get out of my home."

"Sakura, Sakura… don't you remember our little conversation in the forest?" Chris asked with a smirk.

"Leave her alone. Fight me. Whoever comes out the winner gets Sakura," Syaoran spoke up.

"Fine by me. But only on one condition. No magic… for you that is," Chris said with another smirk.

"Syaoran don't agree. He's manipulating the situation to his favor," Sakura whispered to him with worried eyes.

"Don't worry Sakura… everything will be okay," Syaoran whispered back and kissed her on the cheek. Sakura looked in his eyes and leaned up to kiss him on the lips.

"I've made up my mind and you better win," Sakura said smiling. Tomoyo and Chiharu sighed seeing Sakura was finally happy again. Their looks drifted to Chris while their smiles changed to glares.

"I'm glad you came to that decision and how could you ever doubt me?" Syaoran said with a grin. An *ahem* was the only thing that interrupted their nice conversation.

"WHAT?!" Sakura and Syaoran both barked at the person.

"I'm still here being evil you know," Chris said with a sweat drop and glare as he tapped his foot impatiently.

"Oh yeah!" Sakura cried. Everyone fell down anime style at the couple.

"Well then, we'll do this tomorrow," Syaoran said looking directly at him.

"At noon," Chris said with a malicious smile before walking away. When he reached the door he suddenly halted. "Get ready to be my bride Sakura." And with those last words he walked out of the castle.

"Well… we'll make all preparations for this event tomorrow. I guess our announcement has already been made for us. Syaoran and Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol and Chiharu and Takashi will be engaged once more. On with the ball!" Fujitaka called with false merriness. Only the six could se through it as the kingdom erupted into cheers.

"Why does this always happen?" Sakura sighed as she and Syaoran were forced to resume dancing.

"I have no idea," Syaoran said as he planted a kiss on her lips. Everyone continued having a good time, trying to escape reality… even it was for just a night.
