Ch. 1 – "Is everything ready?"

*~*~*~* Sage's POV:

"Diov! Why didn't you remind me about this earlier?!" I was starting to panic, "And where in the world is Rhun?!"

"Rhun is out playing with her friends. And I thought you had remembered. Don't worry, you still got the rest of today and tomorrow morning to get things all set up." Diov was just sitting there, reclining.

"Yeah! I only got today and tomorrow morning! Now get off your lazy butt and help me, please!" I rushed out of the room. 'Everything has to be perfect for this! I can't believe I forgot all about it!'

When I reached the kitchen, I told the staff to make only what was going to be needed for today, but otherwise make only what was going to be needed for the party.

"Don't worry mi'lady." The head cook came up to me after she got the rest of the kitchen staff calmed back down, "We've been working on the party food for the last few days, like you asked us to at the start of the month."

"I'm sorry, I forgot! Thanks you all for not forgetting like I did!" I almost shouted, then ran off to make sure the next item on the list was being taken care of.

As soon as I got to the end of the hall, Diov stopped me, "Sage! Calm down! I've been making sure everything goes according to plan for the last few days! So don't worry, everything's being taken care of!"

"Am I the only one who forgot?" I looked at him questioningly, "How could I?"

"You were busy with other things, dear. Come with me." He started to pull me along.

"Why?" I resisted his pull.

"Your parents want to talk to you."

"Oh, dear." I followed Diov to the door to my parents' room, "Mother? Father?" I bowed to each of them respectfully.

"Close the door, please, Diov." My mother smiled slightly.

"You wished to speak with me?" I asked shakily.

"Yes, dear." My father smiled. But before he could say any more, we all heard an explosion from outside.

*~*~*~* Tomoyo's POV:

"Is everything almost ready? And where are those two guardians?!" I asked impatiently for the fifth time.

"One more second…" Eriol paused, pulling hard on a rope, "They're outside waiting. There! Got it! Ok, ready."

"Wait! Where's my camera?!" I couldn't believe I had almost forgot about my camera.

"Don't worry! It's right here!" Eriol held up my camera.

"Thanks!" I ran over to him, snatching the camera from his hands and continuing on to the door.

Catching up to me, Eriol grabbed my arm and spun me around, "Calm down! We don't leave for another three hours." He then pulled me into a long, deep kiss.

When we broke apart I immediately pulled away from him with a teasing smile and ran out the door and down the hall to our son's room. But before I could even reach for the handle to the door, out burst Arnor.

"Mommy!" He cried out in surprise.

"Are you ready to go yet?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. He was only three years old, and even though he was to have already taken a bath, he was covered from head to toe in mud, "Now Arnor, why are you not clean yet?" I knelt down to look straight at him.

"Me sowwy mommy!" He gave me his most innocent look, "Me took bath, like you said, and my fwends called me to pway and I got ditty ag'in!"

"Then lets go get you all washed up again." I smiled gently and led him back to his washtub. As I was washing Arnor, I heard a loud blast from somewhere nearby.

*~*~*~* Third Person POV:

"What are you doing here?!" Ispep glowered at the lowly creature who had so suddenly burst into the room.

"Y-yes, m-my l-lord!" It stammered, "My master wishes to speak to you!" It finished quickly and ran out.

"Hmmm…so Roloc wishes to speak to me? Why not?" Ispep decided to answer the summons, "Not like he'll keep me there too long. He wants me gone as much as I'd like to be gone." He headed out, stopping only to lock his door. But before he had locked it, the sound of something blowing up drew his attention away, "Hmmm…good."

*~*~*~* Arianllyn's POV:

"Efil?" I called, "It's almost time to go!"

"Just a sec, Ary!" He yelled back, "I'm dressing Ados!"

A few minutes later Ados and Efil walked through the door. Both wore loose fitting white shirts and brown breeches tucked into their boots.

"So you two ready to go now?" I looked each of them up and down.

"Yep!" Efil smiled, "Where's Loire and Arukas?" He asked about the fairies that are impossible to live with if they are left behind.

"I thought they were with you." I decided that I wanted my hair up and started putting it up.

"If they don't show up soon, then we're not going to have any choice but to leave them." Efil sighed.

"You mean leave the fairies?!" Ados demanded, a stricken look shadowing his face, "We can't leave the fairies!" He had become attached to Loire and Arukas the day he was born.

"Don't worry Ados." Efil chuckled, "We won't leave them!"

"Is everyone ready to go?" Loire zipped into the room with Arukas right behind.

"Of course everyone is!" Arukas hit Loire over the head with something, "You're the one who takes the longest to get ready!"

"Ouch! That hurt!" Loire rubbed the top of his head, "And I am not the slowest! You are!" He said before darting behind Ados, using the giggling child as a shield.

"Chicken!" Arukas called after him, "What have I told you about hiding behind Ados?!"

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" Ados laughed and began pulling Efil towards the door.

"Arianllyn! Can you take him so that I can grab the bags?"

After giving Efil a quick kiss, I took our son and walked him out to the carriage. As we were sitting in the carriage waiting for Efil, Loire and Arukas decided to blow up the front gate again.

*~*~*~* Sakura's POV:

"You want to go see Rhun, Kyra?" I asked my three-year-old.

"Yeah!" Her face lit up as a smile a mile wide spread across her childish features, "Me see Rhun! Me see Rhun!" She repeated, dancing around in circles.

"If you want to go see Rhun, you have to get dressed first." I smiled at her, "Come on!" I led her towards her dressing screen.

"Sakura? You in here?" I heard Syaoran's voice.

"Over here! I'm helping Kyra get dressed." I answered him.

"Don't be too long. We need to get going."

"Are Kero and Yue ready?" I called out to him.

"They are always ready to go anywhere!" He replied.

"Just a sec then! She's almost ready!"

"Are you ready to go?" He called back.

"Yes!" I replied dryly, "I've been ready! There we go." I said to Kyra as I pulled her shirt down completely, "Now let's go see Rhun!"

"Yay! Me see Rhun! Me see Rhun!" She began dancing in circles again before bolting toward Syaoran, "Daddy! Me see Rhun!"

"Yes, yes, dear. We will all get to see Rhun as soon as we get over there." He laughed as he picked her up and spun her around.

When we walked outside, we saw smoked spiraling into the sky from the direction of the stables.
