In couple of hours later it was sundown. King Fujitaka, Queen Nadeshiko, Prince Touya ,his wife Kaho, Tomoyo and everyone else were waiting for Sakura. On the hallway Sakura heading to the ballroom when suddenly a mermen with dark black hair and Sapphire eyes who was around Sakura age appeared.
"Happy birthday your highness" said the merman as he bowed down to Sakura.
"Thank you" said Sakura as she smiled a friendly smile.
"Are you going to the royal dinning room?" asked Sakura.
"Yes, Maybe we can go to the royal dinning room together?" asked the merman.
"Okay, that so nice of you" said Sakura
They were swimming on their way to the royal dinning room without saying a word to each other until Sakura decided to start up a conversation.
"So, can I asked your name since you know mines?" asked Sakura politely.
"Sure Princess, my name is Daisuke" answered the merman calmly.
"How old are you Daisuke?" asked Sakura trying to follow up with questions.
"I just turned 18 about 2 months ago" answered Daisuke.
"I see, so you know my father since you here?" asked Sakura.
"I meet King Fujitaka and Queen Nadeshiko a few weeks ago and they personally invented me to your 16th birthday party" said Daisuke with a small smile on his face.
"I see" said Sakura with a surprise look on her face.
"Why is that?" asked Daisuke with a little confuse look on his face.
"My father never invented anyone to my birthday parties unless there are my closest friends or some very important merperson" said Sakura with a friendly smile.
"Yeah?" said Daisuke calmly to Sakura
"So you must be someone very important" said Sakura with a happier smile on her face which made Daisuke blush.

"I like to say thank you everyone for coming today. It means a lot to Sakura for her friends to come on a special day that Sakura is officially sixteen and is the age to marry" said King Fujitaka as he continued to talk.
"I wonder why he use the word marry?" thought Sakura as she was snap back to realty by Tomoyo who was sitting next to her.

" Yes, I'm alright I am just thinking about the word "marry" whispered Sakura that Daisuke who was cross from the table can hear her talking with Tomoyo.
"What about the word "marry" Sakura?" asked Tomoyo
"I just, that Father used the word "marry" while he could have use another word" whispered Sakura.
"Do you think it has to do with the person you are going to meet tonight?" asked Tomoyo.
"I don't know" answered Sakura with a sad look on her face.
"A toast to my daughter Sakura for coming of age and I wish her the best of luck!!" said King Fujitaka.

After Everyone finished eating, they all went to the ballroom where there was playing romantic music and mermaid and merman were dancing while other was talking with each other. Sakura was seeing a couple dancing together, and were so close that they kissed passionately which made Sakura sighed thinking about Prince Syaoran.
"Your not enjoying the ball are you?" asked Tomoyo with a censored look.
