Chapter 1: Engagement

Sakura Kinomoto and Li Syaoran were holding hands in the park, dating. Sakura wore her cute blue sundress and straw hat with yellow shoes. Syaoran wore his red polo shirt Sakura gave him and denim pants and black shoes. Sakura was looking sweetly at Syaoran as he looks sweetly back at her.

"I really adore you." Sakura said.

"I really love you" Syaoran said as they walked further.

There are other couples in the park also. Tomoyo and Eriol were together in the park too having a picnic with Chiharu and Yamazaki.

"Hi!" Sakura and Syaoran said.

"Hello!" Tomoyo said. "Why don't you join us?"

"Well," Sakura looked at Syaoran. "What do you think?"

Syaoran answered, "Sorry but maybe next time." He smiled and Sakura waved as they continue walking hand in hand.

That night, Sakura and Syaoran went to dinner at their favorite restaurant, McDonalds. It was only a few blocks from where they live. Syaoran usually orders and pays. They would order hot fudge sundae and share it. They would also order Twister Fries and Diet Pepsi (Sakura's on a diet).

When the cashier asked for their payment, Syaoran looked for his wallet. "Uh-oh." He said with a tone of uncertainty.

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked worryingly.

Syaoran answered with astonishment: "I don't have my wallet. I must have left it at home."

Sakura laughed. Syaoran looked at her and sweat-dropped. "Don't worry." She said. "I'll pay for it tonight." Syaoran sighed with relief.

They sat near the window on the second floor and look at the city. Sakura likes the view there. Syaoran likes to see Sakura happy.

"Isn't the view wonderful? I know it's not breath-taking but to see a city with people and cars and buildings with lights… it feels like I'm in Paris." Sakura exclaimed.

Syaoran nodded and picked a piece of Twister fries to feed to Sakura. Sakura bit it gently. Syaoran likes it when Sakura moves gently. In fact, Syaoran likes everything about Sakura. They became a couple ever since sixth grade. 'It's been a long time…' Syaoran said. 'Since I met this angel, my life felt complete. I just hope my plan works.'

They left after an hour and rode off in Syaoran's green convertible to a cliff over looking the city. Syaoran placed his arm over Sakura's shoulder.

"Now, this view is really breath-taking." Syaoran looked into her eyes and kissed her.

After a few minutes of over looking the city, Syaoran would bring her to her apartment next to his. After all those years, they still don't live together. He even gave her a rose from the plant they grew together after graduating high school.

That night was different though. Syaoran gave her a large box, which was already inside her house.

He just said, "Just open it and you'll see." Syaoran gave Sakura a kiss on the cheek, which was pretty unusual and left.

Sakura opened the box but there was another box inside another box until there was 10 boxes in her apartment in different sizes. The last box was a small one. She opened it and found a silver ring with a very beautiful star diamond. Engraved under the ring was "Sakura, will u marry me?" The letters were small so it was hard to read. Then, someone knocked at her door. Dressed in a tuxedo and with a bouquet of cherry blossoms in one hand.

He kneeled on one knee and said, "Sakura, I love you so much. I hope you agree with me that it's time that we get married because I really don't want to lose you."

Sakura was crying happily and said, "Of course I will." Sakura kissed his lips and hugged each other.

The next day, Sakura told Tomoyo about the engagement. "Oh, Sakura, I'm so happy for you. Promise me that you'll never let anyone make your wedding dress but me." Tomoyo said in such excitement. "I have to get ready soon. So when is the big day?"

Sakura smiled at her best friend. "We don't know just yet. I haven't told Touya and Dad about it yet. Touya's with Kaho and their family now. Dad's on a trip so we really are not certain when is the big day just yet." Sakura looked at Tomoyo. "How about you and Eriol? Isn't he proposing yet?"

Tomoyo looked sad. "Well, Eriol's the reincarnation of Clow Reed, right? Did Clow Reed marry someone? Because I'm worried that he might be just like his reincarnation."

Sakura answered, "I don't know. I'll ask Yue and Kero. They might know. Don't give up yet, Tomoyo. You never know. Maybe we'll have a double wedding, you and Eriol, also me and Syaoran." The girls giggled to themselves at the thought of getting married together.
