Kyaaa! I completely abandoned my stories. / I haven't exactly checked my mailbox for quite a while now. So many things happened this year. The major thing was me letting my whole family down…But it's alright now. I have a summer job now, just a little sorry for my family and what I put them through this year…I guess you can say, this chapter is mostly dedicated to my family and of course, my fellow readers who still haven't given up on me…yet P

RECAP

"Sakura-chan, I know exactly what's wrong! That air-headed Eriol Hiirigizawa gave me the most disgusting milk I have ever tasted in my life last night! And just to think, I thought he was actually such a gentleman to personally give me a glass of milk just before I went to sleep! He has got to be the most conceited man I have ever dealt with in my whole entire life! No! Not even a man! He's a boy! A conceited damn boy!"

"Tomo! Tomo! Calm down! Yelling about him when he's not present at this time won't do you any good. We need to start planning again! We've just got to drive them all away before this week even ends, and we'll have the rest of this month to ourselves!"

Tomoyo sighed.

"I hope you're right. I just hope stupid Prince Eriol won't be as hard-headed as he is now or else he won't leave and Prince Syaoran won't leave either!"

"I don't get it. Why would Prince Syaoran stay with Prince Eriol in the kingdom? It's not like he can't leave himself!"

"He can't. Saku, remember! Prince Eriol and Prince Syaoran are cousins! So if Prince Eriol doesn't want to leave, Prince Syaoran has to stay with him until both of them agree to leave us alone!"

"Ohhh…just great! More to add to our problems!"

ALL IT TAKES IS ONE PIGEON
CHAPTER FIVE

--weekend—

"Jesus Christ! I'm so glad three of our 'beloved' princes finally left us alone!"

"Hahaha Saku, I've got to admit, I agree!"

"But, those two arrogant airheaded princes still aren't leaving! Have we not done enough to get them off our tails! Tomo! What are we gonna do!"

"To tell you the truth, I think we should call it a truce. And before you say anything, think about it. I mean, we've done all that we can! Every single trick in our books! I'm afraid there's nothing left."

Sakura sighed, understanding their current difficult situation. "Are you sure there's really nothing else we can do? Perhaps we can bribe them with money?"

"Saku, have you forgotten they're princes? Besides, Uncle Kinomoto would immediately know about it."

--in another room—

"We can replace their pillows with pig heads!"

"No, no. We've done that already."

"Blindfold them and dump them in the woods!"

"Tried that and got caught."

"Aha! Skin them alive!"

Eriol looked at him weirdly. "Do you really think we'll even be alive to do that?"

"Ugh! I'm out. What do you suggest?"

"Ehehe. I'm glad you finally asked." At this, Syaoran glared at his cousin. Eriol, of course, ignored him. "I say we call it a truce." Quickly, he plugged his ears to avoid the screaming and yelling of Syaoran.

"Sure."

Eriol blinked. Once. Twice. "What!"

"I said sure Eriol. I mean, we've practically done everything we can. King Fujitaka doesn't even despise me! And that brat of a devil sure isn't giving up. Calling it a truce will be better for us to spend the rest of the month. Fujitaka-san is never gonna let us leave until the end of this month, seeing as the other princes left us here."

"I'm not daydreaming, am I? Wow! Li Syaoran. First time reasoning! I'm in heaven!"

"Shut up Eriol."

A couple of hours later, the enemies currently living under the same roof met in the dining room, Princesses sitting on the left of the table, and Princes sitting on the right. On the table, four contracts were seen along with four fancy fountain pens. Butlers and maids took in the scene before them as they saw, somewhat, a slight bolt of electricity go from one to another. No, make that two.

"So, fellow princesses, prince, butlers and maids. We're gathered here at this table today-" Eriol started.

"Cut the small talk," Syaoran interrupted.

"Yeah, just sum it up already."

"Basically, we're all calling a truce. The end."

A moment of silence passed.

"Okay…so…read over the contract in front of you and sign when you're done."

Another moment of silence passed by again. Finally, everyone took their fancy fountain pen and signed above the line where it said 'prince's/princess' signature'.

Slowly, they all stood up and regrettably shook on the deal.

--dinner time—

Fujitaka, Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Eriol all ate their food quietly. The only sounds heard were the crunching of food and the chairs shifting every now and then. Finally, it was Fujitaka whom broke the silence.

"Everyone, we've been invited to the Xie's ball to celebrate the King's and Queen's first baby being born."

Sakura and Tomoyo both squealed in delight seeing their best friends from childhood have their first baby.

"Yatta! When is it being held!" Sakura asked eagerly.

Fujitaka smiled slightly. "It's this coming Friday at the Xie's castle, 7 o'clock sharp."

"Six days left to get ready Saku! I can dress you up again!"

"Hoe…doesn't matter. The princes won't be there!" Sakura whispered to Tomoyo alone.

"And Prince Li and Prince Hiirigizawa are invited as well."

Sakura and Tomoyo dropped their jaws all the way to the floor.

--that evening—

"I can't believe it! Just when I thought those poor excuses for a prince weren't gonna come, they just have to!"

"Saku, it's not that bad. We already ended it with a truce, remember? Nothing's bad gonna happen. It's not like they'll make a fool out of themselves just to see us get embarrassed."

Sakura sighed. "I guess…"

"Come on, cheer up! I get to dress us up for the ball! I'm gonna make you the most beautiful princess!"

"Haha! Tomo, don't say that! Our Queen of the Xie castle isn't gonna like that."

After a few seconds of both not saying anything, they burst out laughing.

--Syaoran's room—

"Dude, there's some pigeon pecking at the window."

"Let it in!"

Eriol raised an eyebrow at this, but let the pigeon in anyway.

Syaoran quickly took Kero and detached the letter from it. Opening it, he finished reading the contents, took a clean sheet of paper, wrote on it, rolled it up, and place it in the container attached to Kero.

Eriol watched him and saw the pigeon fly away.

"Freedom letters! How smart and creative! Someone's gonna finally come and save us!"

Gomen ne. I know this chappie should be a lot longer than it is rite now, but I just can't concentrate. While writing this, I got pulled to make muffins by my sisters. And then two hours later, I come back to finish it up and forget what I was gonna write. After about half an hour, I finally remembered, but then my dad starts talking to me about studying math 'cause I'm skipping a grade for SATURDAY school. NOT dayschool, but SATURDAY school. Grrr! So now, I've lost my train of thoughts that I don't even feel like writing anymore for this chappie. Hopefully, the next one will come out sooner than I hope. But I can't guarantee anything. I'm not good at promises.
