Chapter one: Prior Field Trip Preparations

Eriol Hiiragizawa's class was going on a field trip tomorrow. He was not as excited as all the others were because he had already been to places like that in his past life. He and his eighth grade classmates were going camping. His fellow classmates couldn't believe their luck. Their class had been chosen in a drawing to be sponsored by a company to go on a camping field trip totally FREE. Other schools that wanted to go had to pay at least $100 dollars each student. Yamazaki was especially thrilled for he would be able to tell his stories. When they shared their stories sitting around a campfire, Chiharu wouldn't be able to glare at him each time he told a lie.

Eriol had all of his bags packed and ready for him to take to school. He had double checked his list and everything was correctly arranged. As he went to bed, he wondered what would happen during their trip. It was to last 5 days. The class was separated to groups of boys and girls. As usual, his group was the gang along with Yamazaki, Chiharu, Naoko and Rika. He was especially glad that Tomoyo had agreed to join their group, yet wherever Sakura went Tomoyo went, too. The group was to always stay with each other every time they did an activity. Otherwise, the guys slept with the rest of the boys in the class, and the girls the same.

As Eriol looked out his window, he noticed three butterflies flying by. That was odd; butterflies don't fly around at night. But Eriol didn't give that much thought because his mind was preoccupied by the thought of his two guardians. Eriol had made Spinel and Nakuru a list of chores that had to be done during the time he was gone. He had placed spells on everything that was valuable to him, protecting them from the clutches of his Guardians. He had told them to try to keep the noise down for if a neighbor called the police, there wouldn't be anyone sane enough to talk them out of trouble without landing them all in a mental hospital first.

Eriol smiled at the expression of him and Nakuru all strapped down in stretchers and Tomoyo visiting them and shaking her head. She would probably bring a book for Eriol to read or something if that would really happen. With that thought in his head, Eriol drifted off to sleep.

Tomoyo sat in her luxurious bed inspecting her list of things to pack. She was almost positive that she had everything, but she wanted to make sure. She was especially careful about the videotaping equipment that she was going to use to tape Sakura and everyone else. As she daydreamed (or night-dreamed) about the next 5 days, three butterflies flew by the window. She didn't notice them or the fact that butterflies aren't naturally active at night.

Tomoyo's birthday was during the field trip. Her mother would have preferred to have her share her birthday with her, but was okay with the fact that she would spend it with her best friends. She was especially happy with the fact that Eriol was going to be there. She was happy that Sakura was going to be there, too, of course but she was looking forward to seeing Eriol more. Tomoyo was thinking of Eriol until she fell asleep.

The three butterflies flew past Tomoyo's house and into a dark alley. They landed on several flowers and transformed into three females. All sorceresses. The first one wore a cloak that swept the floor and was the color of royal purple. The second one was dressed in rose red and the third clothed in indigo blue. The three were exhausted from their flight across the Pacific Ocean but refused to rest until they completed what they were to accomplish that night.

"Let's just put them on the island we past before we entered Japan." The girl fully clad in rose red suggested.

"Yeah, doubt that the Clow mistress would ever look there. But we need to make sure that neither the Clow mistress of the head of the Li clan gets any help from either of the other two. And we'd better block off Clow's magic, too." The teen in indigo blue added.

"Alright alright, but we better give them something to take with them or they won't be able to survive. It would be a shame if the Clow reincarnation starved to death. " The leader, the one dressed in royal purple approved. The three cackled.

Together, the three chanted a spell that teleported Eriol, Tomoyo, and their luggage to an island far off the coast of Japan.
