Chapter 1: Here We Go
"That's perfect Sakura. You'll ready for the competition this weekend," her figure skating coach declared.

Yes, eight years later, Sakura is now a professional figure skater. She had found that with all the practice from cheerleading that she was a natural at figureskating. She had already won several local and national competitions and now she was going to the Worlds in China.

"I guess that enough practice for today. Go home a rest yourself before this weekend. You'll get some practice time before you compete."

"Alright," Sakura said while skating over to the door to exit the ice rink. Sitting down in the bleacher she bent over to untie her skates when a locket fell out from under shirt. She stopped to look at it while it dangled from her neck. "Maybe I'll see you soon." She thought. Tears began to form as she thought about all the letters she had written to Syaoran and how many she had gotten back; None.

She wiped away the tears. "Don't think about that Sakura, he probably just didn't have time with all his training." She forced out a small smile as she stood to leave. "Goodbye."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Her bouncing around the house was beginning to annoy him. "Four more days till Worlds, Four more days till Worlds!"

"Chii! Stop it will you. I'm trying to finish writing this document and your not helping!" Syaoran turned to look at his younger sister Chii. She was normally a good 8 year old, though always bubbly, but she had been counting down the days to the World Skating Competition for the past three months.

"Sorry," Chii said, still smiling her head off while rocking back and forth on her feet. She had been figure skating since she was 3 and there was nothing that made her more excited.

"It's ok, you can share your joy with Meilin once she gets here. Isn't it cool that your future sister-in-law will be competing." Syaoran smiled a forced smile at his sister.

"No, she's too stuffy and you know she only skates to win. She doesn't have any fun doing it at all," Chii said as she frowned.

Chii ran out of the room as Syaoran turned back to his work. Yes, he totally agreed with her, but it didn't change things. He needed to marry someone for when he took over as clan leader. All the other girls he had met obviously only wanted him for his money, but Meilin had wanted to marry him since they were kids. It was the best he could do.

Suddenly he got a weird feeling that went up his spine. He always got this feeling whenever he thought about his female problems. Almost as if he was forgetting something. He shook his head trying to shake the feeling and it quickly subsided. He had been getting these feelings forever but it was obviously nothing since he had never remembered what it was.

He turned back to his papers. It was going to be a long day.

"Sakura! Wait up!" Sakura turned around to see Tomoyo running trying to catch up with her. She stopped walking and Tomoyo quickly caught up with her. "How's it going? How was practice yesterday?" Tomoyo asked.

"Practice went the same as usual. I had the routine down a couple weeks ago so it was basically perfecting it. Though there's a slight problem." Sakura said looking down.

Tomoyo looked a little worried. "Why what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Ari, my coach, called me this morning. Her brother had an accident and she has to go out of town because she's the only one who can take care of him. There's no other family and his wife has to work in order to pay the hospital bills. She can't come with me to the World's, but if I don't have someone who knows the routine and can be, well, a "leader" I can't compete.

"Oh no! That's terrible! Wait." Tomoyo suddenly got this devilish look on her face.

"How old does this "leader" have to be?"

Sakura looked a little stunned. "19 or over……why?"

Tomoyo pulled out her cellphone and dialed. "Hold on a sec," she said, holding up a finger. "Hello? Yes, hi. Yeah its Tomoyo. Hey, can you do me a favour?"

Five minutes later…..

"Yes…yes….thank you so very much! Just email me all the information. Thanks again. Buh Bye!" Tomoyo pressed the end button and gave Sakura a huge smile.

"Ummm…..What did you just do?"

Tomoyo looked as if she was going to burst. "Well, I called a friend of mine who works in the International Figure Skating Association who just so happened to owe me a favour. Say hello to your new coach!"

Sakura's mouth dropped. "Are you serious?" When Tomoyo nodded Sakura started squealing which, in turn, caused Tomoyo to start squealing also before they hugged and began jumping up and down.

Once they had calmed down and began to catch their breath, Sakura said, "I can't believe it. This is going to be great! We'll have so much fun."

"Well, what are friends for? There's no way I'd let you miss out on competing this weekend."

Sakura gave her another bear hug. "Thanks."

Tomoyo gave her a small hug back, then stepped away to hold Sakura at arms length. "What are we standing around for? We both have to pack before tomorrow. Let's go!"
