Tomoyo and Eriol's date
"Why did you come back here in Japan?" Tomoyo asked while eating her ice cream.
"Why are you asking me? Don't you want me here?" Eriol asked in a teasing way.
"Yes… I mean no!" Tomoyo replied, "I was just wondering."
"First reason is you," Eriol answered," Then I miss Japan and I felt that there will be happening here."
"You know what," Tomoyo said while blushing.
"…"
"This is our first date since you said to me those sweet words," Tomoyo said.
"Then I'll say it again," Eriol replied, "I love you…"
"And Eriol," Tomoyo added.
"What," Eriol said.
"Mother and I will be moving to England next month," Tomoyo said.
Eriol smiled and said, "Then I will come after you when you go to England."
Tomoyo smiled and replied, "That's why I love you so much."

Kinomoto Residence
"First, you must stand and walk with five books on your head," Meilin said as she stood up.
"But father doesn't know that I have a fiancée," Sakura said while waving her hands like crazy.
"He will know in three, two, one…"
*Ring, ring*
"I'll get it," Fujitaka shouted. He answered the phone and…
"A what?!" Fujitaka exclaimed, "I understand… okay."
"Please don't scold me, please don't scold me, please, please," Sakura muttered while her fingers are crossed.
Fujitaka approached them and said, "Do you really love him?"
Sakura nodded.
"Then you could be his fiancée," Fujitaka said with a smile and left the room.
Meilin smiled and said, "Now balance five books on your head."
"For what," Sakura said.
"For posture," Meilin replied.
Sakura balanced five books on her head and she did it without a sweat.
Meilin clapped her hands and said, "You're good! Next you must know how to talk with the elders properly."
"That's easy!" Sakura said, "Like this…" She bowed down and said, "I glad to meet you oh high one…"
Sweat drops appeared on Meilin's forehead and she said, "G-good but one thing you must not do when the elders are there is to not shout because they will punish you."
Sakura's expression turned into a scared one and she said, "Wh-what ki-kind of punishment?"
"Scary things I remembered when I was punished… the locked me in room full of snakes," Meilin said in a depressed way, "I tell you, being punished by the elders is a bloodcurdling experience."
"I don't want to meet those elders!" Sakura shouted.
"That's why I'm teaching you how to impress them and not to make them livid," Meilin said, "Never pig out in the table."
Sakura nodded. "Always wear decent and clean dresses," Meilin explained, "And here's one important thing."
"What is it?" Sakura asked.
"Is to love Xiao-Lang with all your heart and never break his heart," Meilin replied with a smile.
"I promise to never break Syaoran's heart but I will love him more than anything," Sakura said as she reached out for her tiny finger.
Meilin's little finger shook Sakura's finger and she said, "If you did… I myself will kill you. If you excuse me… I'll go make a phone call. By the way, you can call him Xiao-Lang."

Hong Kong
*Ring, ring*
"I'll get it," Syaoran said as he answered the phone, "Nihao, Li mansion, Li Xiao-Lang speaking."
"It's me, Meilin. I want to talk to Yelan."
"Wait," Syaoran said, "Mother, it's for you! It's Meilin!"
Yelan got the phone and said, "Hello Meilin, any news?"
"Yes," Meilin said, "Sakura's ready. We could go to Hong Kong tomorrow."
"Very well, that's what I expect in a Card Mistress," Yelan said with a smile, "I'll phone the airport and get you a ticket tomorrow morning and all the preparations in the ceremony will be done."
"Thanks," Meilin said, "Maybe my lovesick cousin wants to talk to Ying Fa?"
"He'll be happy to," Yelan said as she gave the phone to Syaoran.
"Hello," Sakura said.
"Sakura," Syaoan said in a caring voice, "How were Meilin's lectures?"
Sakura giggled and said, "It's not so bad. I already learn everything."
Syaoran smiled and said, "Then see you tomorrow my fair Ying Fa. Bye then."
"Bye," Sakura said as she hung up.

Eriol and Tomoyo (5:00 pm)
They sat down near a tree and Eriol said, "Close your eyes."
Tomoyo had her suspicions but after a while she closed her eyes. She felt that something metal was wraped around her neck then Eriol said, "You can open them."
Tomoyo opened her eyes and looked at the necklace around her neck. It had a heart-shaped pendant with a small amethyst stone in the middle. Tomoyo looked at the back and it says:
Tomoyo
Nothing will keep us apart. I love you…
Eriol…
Tomoyo smiled, hugged him and said, "Thank you Eriol!"
Eriol hugged her tightly and said, "You know what makes me happy?"
Tomoyo stopped hugging Eriol and said, "What is it?"
"You," Eriol said with a smile. Their faces got closer. They could feel each other breath when suddenly…
*Beep, beep*
Tomoyo looked at the opposite direction and said, "It mine." She received a text and it says:
It's me, Sakura. Meilin and our family will go to Hong Kong. Don't worry Touya gave me a blessing so don't worry.
Tomoyo smiled and replied back:
Please have your visit taped for me. Good luck!
Tomoyo pressed the send button and she looked at Eriol who is looking at the sky. "Sorry Eriol," Tomoyo said while blushing.
"It's okay," Eriol said, "It's getting late. I'll walk you home."
Tomoyo nodded and they got up.
"Tomoyo," Eriol said while blushing.
"Yes," Tomoyo said.
"Who was that?" Eriol said as he blushed even redder.
"Are you jealous?" Tomoyo said with a mischievous grin. Eriol nodded and Tomoyo said, "It was Sakura."
Eriol stopped blushing and said, "What did she said?"
"She said that she will go to Hong Kong tomorrow," Tomoyo said.
"Then we should wade her goodbye and good luck," Eriol said and Tomoyo nodded.
They arrived at the Daidouji mansion and Eriol said, "See you tomorrow."
Tomoyo nodded and gave Eriol a kiss on his cheek and said, "Be careful."
Eriol smiled and touched his cheek. "I will," Eriol said as he walked away from the mansion gates.
