~~~from the last chapter~~~
The table bursted into cheers applause and a chorus of Kawaii. Yelan calmed the table down. She waved a servant over and whispered in her ear before she hurried off. "I am going to announce tonight at a ball in all of your honor. It will be for congratulations, and a ball to see you off. Some of you will be receiving something from the elders and I. Nakaru, Femei, Furran, Seifa, and Frutie please arrange the press, and set up the ballroom. Tomoyo please use this to make gowns for you, the girls and the guys. Just think about them all and drop the ball and they will appear after that you all go out for the afternoon but be back by 6:00 the ball is to start at 7:00," she said Everyone got up and went their separate ways.
~~~on with chapter~~~
After the announcement Yelan and her daughters went to do their jobs. Tomoyo, Melin and Sakura wanted to change first. Tomoyo had given them a ball before lunch so they could change after lunch. The three girls threw up the balls. "Release," they yelled. As they spun around in a cloud of red, purple and pink smoke once the smoke cleared the three were fully dressed.
Tomoyo wore a pair of purple capris and a midnight blue three-quarter length shirt with white tennis shoes with purple shoe strings on one and midnight blue shoe strings on the other. Her hair was in a half ponytail held there with a white hair band.
Melin wore a long red skirt with a spaghetti strapped orange shirt. She wore white zip up tennis shoes. Her hair was in its traditional pigtails but now each ponytail had a red or orange ribbon flowing down the length of the pigtail.
Sakura wore a simple green sundress with pink cherry blossoms. The dress reached knee high and the sleeves were scooped. She wore white tennis shoes with pink shoelaces. Her hair was in a single high ponytail with a pink ribbon tying it together.
The guys looked down at themselves, before tugging up to their rooms. "Well, we do like to be prepared don't we?" said Tomoyo. The other two girls nodded as they followed Tomoyo to her room. Tomoyo still had the ball in her hand. I know exactly what we will wear," she said. As she took out three large sheets of blank white paper.
On the first sheet she made a long off the shoulder dress the top looked to be made of something different then the bottom because it was shaded slightly darker then the rest . The top came down in a arrow at the stomach. Then the bottom came all the way to the ankles and had slits to the knee. Next to the dress she drew a suite. It was a four-piece suite. The vest, jacket, and pants must have been white because she didn't shade them at all. The shirt she shaded darkly. In the pocket of the suite jacket the drew three cherry blossoms.
On the next piece of paper she drew a spaghetti strapped dress that reached the floor and had two slits that went up to the knee. It was shaded dark as well but not as dark a the wrapper that went with the dress. Next to the dress she drew a three-piece suite. The jacket and pants weren't shaded but was white. The shirt was shaded. In the pocket of the suite jacket was three roses.
On the last piece of paper she drew a dress with looked to have thick straps for sleeves the rest of the dress was shaded the same. But connected to the straps were what looked to strips of sheer cloth according to the way Tomoyo shaded them. At the strips of cloth was pulled together by buy a bracelet that was at the bottom of each strip. Next to the dress she drew a three-piece suite. The vest and pants were shaded dark while the shirt remained white in the vest pocket was three violets.
Tomoyo then took them and used a hanger to hang them on the walls. Sakura and Melin looked at this strangely. The Tomoyo took her pencil and wrote names on each sheet of paper. Sakura and Syaoran's was the first sheet of paper. Melin and Ling's was the second sheet of paper. Tomoyo and Eriol's was the last sheet. She then stood back and dropped the ball, the whole room was filled with a bright light. Once the light dimmed the dresses and suites were done and each on a hanger. Sakura dress was pink the top a shade darker then the bottom, which was the shade of her aura. The darkly shaded places on Syaoran's suite were the same shade of his aura. Melin's dress was her aura shade red and the wrapper a shade darker. Ling's suite was white with an orange shirt underneath. Tomoyo dress was the color of her aura but the sleeves were made of clear strips of cloth, which were a shade darker. Eriol's suite was the color of his aura with a white shirt.
"Oh my goodness Tomoyo," gasped Melin. "I don't know how you came up with the idea so fast," said Sakura. "I had been thinking about this idea for a long time. I just need the right occasion," she said. "Well, you found it," said a voice from behind them. The girls looked to see Syaoran, Eriol, and Ling. "Yea what can be better then our engagement and going away party," said Ling. "You did great," Eriol said to his fiancée leading her out of the room and downstairs to the garden. Ling and Melin made their way to the Li dojo. Syaoran and Sakura stopped at their rooms to get a jacket and keys before heading out the door.
Tomoyo and Eriol were in the garden. "Do you think the outfits will be good enough for the ball tonight?" she asked ringing her hands. Eriol smiled. "Tomoyo, they will be perfect," he assured her leading her over to a bench sitting her down. She looked up to him. "What would I have done without you?" she asked. "I believe you would have been just fine but the real question would be what would I have done without you?" he asked. Tomoyo was at a lose of words. "Tomoyo when I came to Japan I was just a lonely kid who was too strange to have friends. Then just like what Sakura did with Syaoran you did for me. You were kind to me just as you were with any other classmate even more because I was a friend of Sakura who could make friends with anyone. When I found out I love you I gave up knowing I was too strange for a person of your gracefulness, kindness, and generosity. Tomoyo smiled. "I fell in love with you because of your kindness, generosity, and your strangeness, and Eriol that will never change. Eriol smiled and bent down to kiss her but stopped. "You got that right because of this," he said as he raised her engagement ring up to their face. "I will always be your," he said as he closed the gap between them with a silent kiss.
Melin and Ling were on the balcony of the Li dojo. Everyone at the moment were getting ready for the big ball later on that night even though no one but Yelan, the Elders, and the Li sister knew who all would be going on the journey and they just thought that the elder just matched Syaoran up with another one of his cousin. So they had the dojo to themselves. "Thank you Ling?" said Melin as they looked out unto the Li Garden. "For what Melin?" he asked running his fingers through her hair. "For everything. Entering the contest, confessing you loved me, helping me with fighting, training, and now for proposing. I want to thank you for coming into my life, because if you didn't I wouldn't know where I would be," she said turning to look into his eyes. Ling smiled. "I thank you for all of those things as well, and neither of us know where we would be, but I think we agree that it is better to be here then anywhere else," he said. Melin smiled. "You got that right," she said kissing him. ' I can never get tired of her kisses,' Ling thought to himself before deepening the kiss.
Sakura and Syaoran were on their way to the door to go to the park when Touya stopped them. Sakura and Syaroan both sighed. *Here it comes,* Syaoran thought to Sakura. *Yea,* Sakura thought back. Touya looked angry alright but what he said shocked them both. "Sakura if I hadn't lived with this gaki for a year I would never be able to accept that he was one day going to be part of our family," he started. Sakura and Syaoran's chins hit the floor. Touya stuck out his hand. Syaoran shook it knowing that this was his way of giving his blessing. *This means a lot to me Touya,* he thought to the older boy who just nodded in return, knowing that he had done the right thing he turned and left. Sakura smiled. "Well, it just goes to show you that you never know a person until you have to purpose to their little sister," she said. Syaoran nodded as he took her hand and led her to the park. (a.n.// i know it was mean for me not to let him kiss her but so what :) ///)
By 5:30 everything was ready. The cooks had finished the most delicious buffet ever of course with a mini one for Kero. All of the major press was invited for questions before the dinner started and the top paying stations were allowed to stay during dinner. All of the other Clans were on there way or already there getting ready. The decorations were done wonderfully in pink for Sakura, green for Syaoran, midnight blue for Eriol, purple for Tomoyo, red for Melin, orange for Ling, silver for Yukito, yellow for Touya, hot pink for Nakaru, gold for Kero, and between the settings was the sash that represented the Li Clan.
The groups were also getting ready. Tomoyo decided that the girls would meet in her room after they took showers to get ready. The guys just decided to get ready and they would all meet up like the planner said when the ball began. Until then the whole group was to hide their auras to give the ball more of a surprise to the elder to see how much Syaoran, Ling, Melin, and Eriol had improved and to keep Tomoyo, Sakura, Touya, Yukito, and Kero's presense a secret.
The girls were all ready except Sakura still needed her hair done. Tomoyo agreed to do it sense Sakura had done hers. Melin took her pigtails down and let her hair flow to her waist and curled the ends under it was simple but looked great as it flowed over the wrapper. Sakura had put Tomoyo's hair in a bun in the back with a part of hair framing each side of her face. The bun was secured with amethyst pins. Tomoyo finally decided to put her hair in a ponytail of ringlets she left two curls to frame her face. They stood in front of the mirror and squealed. "We look great," then they began to laugh. "Yes, you girls do look great," said Yelan from the door. "Thank you," they said as they curtsied. "Alright you will be announced after my daughters and I as guest of the Li Clan then after that there will be some minor conversation for a few minutes as I address the elder then questions will start. The time before the questions you must stay away from the guys," she explained. All of the girls paled. "Now I know it makes you all very popular but it will be over just as quick as it started," she said. The girls only nodded. Yelan smiled. "You know the boys looked the same Syaoran even sent me a small glare before I explained," she said. The girls smiled and followed her out.
