I'm really sorry that I haven't updated soon enough, it's just that I suffered from severe writer's block. I mean it! I didn't know where to get my inspiration anymore! I mean, I'm not in love with anyone, I don't even admire anyone! I have no source of inspiration whatsoever! And the fact that I write romance stories makes me sound weird. Hahaha…

Animeflower – Thank you for the compliment!

Cloverluck11 – Arigato!

Cristal-shian – I always imagine him as a cute child!

Czakali – The prince of amber doesn't know how the princesses look like because he ran away before he got to meet them. Is this really the first story where Kero is portrayed as a child? I swear I read a story where he was a child… or maybe not…

Ikot-Ikot – Wow! Kababayan ko! Hehehe… Mabuhay tayong mga Noypi! Hehehe!

Littlelonewolf – They're going to meet somewhere out there… Hehehe…

EmeraldStar - Thank you! I would never write a story without any E&T action! Unfortunately Sakura is not the Card Mistress even though she has guardians… She's just a princess from another galaxy (an alien… coughs) but I could make some minor alterations…

Rinoa-H8er – Not necessarily copied… I modified the plot a bit… Kazuki? Nah… I promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn't use characters from other anime (except if I was making a crossover) If you really wanted to know… That guy from the first part was actually Syaoran!

"What do you think will Tomoyo get inside from her house/mansion?"

Most of you got this right! Hands you all chocolate chip cookies. Tomoyo did get her camcorder! As promised, I'll try not to eat your crayons… ok? XD

Chapter II: The Prince of Amber?

"Tomoyo… what's that?"

"Oh… this?"

Sakura peered closer at the strange contraption in Tomoyo's hand.

"It's a video camera!"

"A video camera?"

Sakura turned to Yukito and Kero.

"Yukito, Kaho-sensei never taught me what a video camera is…"

Yukito shrugged. "A video camera is an earthling's device Sakura-chan"

"Does that mean we're considered as aliens?"

Kero jumped up and down. "Enough about that! What does a video camera do!"

"I'll show you!"

Tomoyo smiled as she pressed the record button on her video camera and pointed it at Yukito and Kero. Sakura looked closely at the little screen protruding from the main device and saw Yukito and Kero smiling. She gasped in surprise.

"Why is Yukito-kun and Kero-chan in the screen? Is that some form of magic Tomoyo-chan?"

Tomoyo laughed and stopped recording them. She motioned Yukito, Kero and Sakura to gaze at the screen. She pressed the play button and the others stared at the screen with awe.

Kero laughed. "That's us!"

"What are we doing there?" asked Yukito with wonder.

"It's magic! Isn't it Tomoyo?" smiled Sakura. "I wonder how you use star dust with that…"

Tomoyo looked lost for a minute before she looked through her bag and brought out an average-sized map. "Ready to go?"

"Hai!"

"First stop, Twin Bells!"

"Twin Bells?"

Twin Bells…

"Here we are!"

Yukito, Sakura and Kero observed the surroundings.

Yukito scratched his head before fixing his glasses. "A store?"

Tomoyo nodded soundlessly as she fixed her video camera on the three.

Sakura and Kero squealed as they jammed their faces to the glass window.

"Wow! The things here are so cute!"

"Can we go in?"

"Of course! Follow me!"

As the group entered the store, they separated.

Sakura who was lost in a dream amongst all the cute stuffed toys, bumped into someone.

"Oh! I'm so sorry" she apologized to a head of brown hair that was sprawled on the floor.

"No it's ok, help me up will you?" the voice said with much strain.

Sakura laughed nervously as she held out her hand which the person gladly took.

"I'm really sorry about that"

"No it's ok"

Sakura gazed at the person before her and smiled. The girl had fairly long brown hair that was tied into two ponytails at each side of her head. Her brown eyes held a fair amount of star light. She was holding a cute golden bear with a red ribbon around its neck.

"I'm really sorry about that… Miss…"

"I'm Chiharu Mihara"

"Sakura Kinomoto"

"I've never seen you before… Are you new here?"

Before Sakura got a chance to reply, Tomoyo cut in, her video camera in hand.

"Oh yes! In fact, she's my cousin and she'll be living with us for quite a while"

"Hey Tomoyo" she smiled at Tomoyo then waved at the camera.

"Chiharu here is the head cheerleader for our school"

Sakura was lost. "What's a cheerleader?"

Chiharu laughed joyously differing to Tomoyo's nervous laugh.

"Come on! Everyone knows what a cheerleader is!"

Sakura looked more lost than before. "I don't…"

Chiharu looked at her weirdly. "Have you been living under a rock?" she said jokingly to Sakura.

Sakura frowned a bit. "Actually I've been living in a castle with the stars"

Tomoyo cleared her throat before letting out a laugh. "Hahaha! Sakura is such a joker, isn't she! Hahaha… That's Sakura… She's a born jester!"

Chiharu looked at her indifferently before joining in. Sakura just looked at them like a lost puppy.

"I mean… Everyone knows that a cheerleader is a person who leads cheers for a team!"

Sakura nodded her head in understanding. "But how do they lead cheers for a team?"

Chiharu looked at her for a minute before laughing again. After a round of laughter, she looked at her watch before smiling sheepishly while hugging the bear closer.

"As much as I had fun talking to you two, I'm late for a meeting"

Sakura smiled and nodded but Tomoyo smirked as she eyed the bear in Chiharu's grasp.

"What's that bear for Chiharu?"

Chiharu flushed and glared at Tomoyo.

"Nothing!"

"Let me rephrase my question… Who's that bear for Chiharu?"

Chiharu blushed.

"No one!"

Tomoyo just gave her that unnerving smirk. She was mighty glad that she brought along her video camera at what Chiharu said next.

"Even if I do like Takashi, he doesn't like me back ok! I was hoping that he'll understand what I feel when I give him this"

A moment of silence.

"Who's Takashi?" asked the ever-so-adorable Sakura.

Tomoyo laughed her infamous laugh, Chiharu flushed even more and Sakura tried to find where in Kami-sama's name were Yukito and Kero…

Tomoyo raised her eyebrows suggestively as she motioned to her camera, which only meant one thing. She has a plan and it involves a certain someone and blackmail.

"I got to go now…" Chiharu said before running off. "And don't even think about it Daidouji!"

Yukito and Kero magically appeared beside them both.

"What was that about?"

"Nothing much Yukito-san"

Interrupting the conversation was a tall, pale-looking woman with long black hair who tripped.

"Maki, are you okay?"

Maki smiled as she straightened herself up. "I'm fine Tomoyo, who are your friends?"

"Oh, these are my cousins!"

"Hello there, I'm Maki Matsumoto, the owner of Twin Bells"

Sakura looked at the woman's eyes and smiled inside. A lot of starlight shone in her black eyes.

"I'm Yukito Tsukishiro, this is my little brother Kero"

"I'm Sakura Kinomoto, nice to meet you Matsumoto-san!"

"Please, no need for formalities, call me Maki"

"Then you can call me Sakura!"

"Pleased to meet you all but I better go now; I have to do some unpacking but please feel free to look around, if you need some help just ring the bell and I'll come as fast as I can"

All of them nodded.

"Where are we off to next?"

Yukito sighed. "I'm worn out!"

It was already 4:00 in the afternoon and everyone could die of exhaustion.

"You said it onii-chan" yawned Kero as he rubbed his eyes. "My feet are killing me!"

Sakura groaned. "Are we there yet?"

Tomoyo smiled a bit. "Just one more spot and we're finished!"

"That's what you said 4 spots ago, Tomoyo-nee-san"

"But you don't understand Kero! We haven't yet visited the most prestigious place in Tomoeda!"

"Where's that?"

"The ocean!"

Sakura perked up. "I've never seen an ocean before"

"Well then, you should! It's beautiful! When the sun shines on the water, it turns into a beautiful shade of emerald green. It's like an underwater rainbow with all the vibrant fishes and corals… When you hold the fine sand, it feels like water running through your hands!"

Sakura smiled at Tomoyo's dreamy expression. "Let's go!"

Yukito and Kero looked at each other. "We think we'll pass" they chorused.

"Oh… Okay then… You know your way back home right?"

Yukito nodded as he carried Kero on his back as a classic piggy-back ride. "Don't be home late"

"You can trust us Yuki!"

"Come on Sakura-chan!"

"Wow Tomoyo… it's so beautiful…"

"Isn't it just?"

They both gazed at the deep emerald ocean from a huge balcony above. They relaxed with the sounds of the waves crashing on the sandy shore along with the occasional laughs of the other people present.

"It reminds me of the star garden back home"

"Star Garden?"

"The star garden in the Emerald Kingdom is painted a deep emerald, bright star orbs floats around that unending room. It is exclusive for royalty but it seems that I'm the only one who goes there regularly…"

"I wish I could visit the Emerald Kingdom again…"

"You went to the kingdom before?"

Tomoyo nodded with a sad smile on her face.

"It was before… Before my mom was dethroned"

"But why was she dethroned? I never knew the reason…"

"Didn't anyone tell you?"

Sakura shook her head.

"The reason why mom was dethroned and sent to live on earth was because she married my Father…"

"Uncle Makoto?"

"The elders said that the princesses or princes from the star kingdoms can never fall in love with mere earthlings… But mom defied their order and went to earth… Then my parents had me…"

Sakura patted Tomoyo on the back as she heard her sniff.

"When I was about 5 years old, my Mom and I went back to the Kingdom to explain everything… But the elders dethroned her about a week after we got there and gave the throne to Aunt Nadeshiko who was bringing up her 9-year old son and 3-year old daughter with Uncle Fujitaka…"

"I was still a baby back then… That's why I never knew… But when I grew up, mom kept telling me stories about her big sister… And that I had a cousin that was living on earth… Then every night before I slept she would tell me all the things that her onee-san told her about earth…"

"You were so cute when we were kids, we always played together and Touya would always guard us when no one was there to protect or play with us… He even tried to beat up anyone who pinched our cheeks… That poor old man… I never saw someone so traumatized in my whole life… Anyway… a week after we arrived, my mom said that we could never go back… That we can only live on earth…"

"Since then I've always wanted to visit Earth…"

"Since then I've always wanted to return to the Kingdom"

They looked at each other and laughed.

"Want to go down?"

Sakura nodded and smiled as she walked hand in hand with Tomoyo as they went down the stairs from the balcony to the sandy plains below.

"Hey Moyo…"

"Yeah?"

"Isn't that Chiharu?"

Tomoyo snapped her head to where Sakura pointed and smiled evilly.

"Who's that person she's talking to?"

"I'll ask Chiharu personally so we wouldn't jump to conclusions, you can look around if you want Sakura, just be careful"

"I will Tomoyo"

Tomoyo waved a goodbye before she walked towards Chiharu and set up her video camera.

Sakura smiled as she walked towards the waves. As she came near the shore, she gasped as the waves drenched her whole body, leaving her cold and shivering.

"You idiot"

Sakura turned to the source of the voice and felt her heart skip a beat. She flushed, but wasn't sure if it was because she was embarrassed or if it was because of the guy that called her an idiot. Her train of thought was interrupted when a dry material landed on her head.

"Dry yourself up before you get a cold"

"Thank you" she smiled.

The guy looked at her for a moment before turning away, a streak of pink on his face. The pink was gravely contrasting with his black swimming suit with neon green outlines.

"Whatever…" he mumbled.

'This idiot is drenched to the bones and I could see her… her… this really sucks'

"I'm Sakura Kinomoto"

The guy didn't budge. "I don't care"

Sakura stared at him with her mouth agape. "Aren't you going to tell me your name?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"Why should I tell you anyway?"

"Because I told you mine!" she huffed.

"I never asked for your name in the first place you idiot"

"I am not an idiot… You… You… You stupid jerk!"

"Look who's talking!"

Sakura stood up and threw the towel back at him.

"Thanks for the towel!" she said sarcastically.

"Oh wow! I could really feel the gratitude!" he stood up as well.

"I was just trying to be friendly!"

"I don't need your friendship!"

"You know what? Neither do I!" she exclaimed as she took a couple of steps closer to him.

She gazed at his face and noticed that his eyes… His eyes were a beautiful shade of amber… They shone with inexplicable starlight…

"Are you the Prince of Amber?"

He looked at her with bewilderment. "What are you babbling about now!"

"Just answer the question…" she pleaded.

"I am not a prince you idiot!"

She huffed before turning away.

"It's so obvious anyway… You are a cold-hearted and rude jerk; you could never be a prince"

"If it was that obvious then why did you even have to ask?"

"I just wanted to make sure…" she shrugged.

He scowled and walked away in the opposite direction. "Whatever"

Sakura turned around to yell at him but was hit in the face with the towel.

She flushed as she glared at his back.

"You're still dripping wet!" he yelled as he faced her.

She gaped at him but he turned away. "I don't want to be the reason you catch a cold!"

"Not like I care or anything!" he sneered. "It's just that idiots like you can't take care of themselves!"

"I have a name you jerk!"

"I know! I'm not an idiot like you!" he said as he turned to the opposite direction.

He stood motionless for a second… He sighed… then turned to face her again.

"My name's Syaoran Li" he shrugged before walking away.

She smiled… 'He told me his name…'

"Thank you!"

He continued to walk away.

She sighed as she held the towel to her chest… she caught a whiff of sandal wood and smiled.

"Are you the prince of amber?" she whispered, gazing at his retreating back…
