 Dear Fanren-chan,

 	I'm dreadfully sorry that it has taken me so long to reply to your

 beautiful letter, but things have been very hectic here as of late.

 I'm writing this in the limousine on the way to work. Sakura-chan

 feel back to sleep with her head on my lap. You really should see

 her. She looks so adorable. We were up late last night, so neither of

 us were eager to get out of bed. I know that I should probably wake

 her up because she's just messing up her gorgeous auburn hair, but I

 can't bring myself to take her from the land of dreams. Mother gave

 her a job at Daidouji Toys, so Sakura's been very busy trying to

 learn how things work at the business. It was a little difficult for

 her at first, but Sakura-chan really has an endless amount of

 determination inside of her. You can see it burning inside when you

 gaze into her emerald eyes. So even with the difficulty it's posed

 for her, Sakura-chan has been throwing her all into it. She looks

 very cute in business suits. Mother keeps joking that with Sakura-

 chan here she could retire and leave the company with me but then I'd

 never get any work done because my mind would always been on Sakura-

 chan. But that's just silly. My mind is always on Sakura-chan as it

 is. 

 	Mother wanted me to thank you for your kind words about her

 dancing. She really is a wonderful dancer. I know that she enjoyed it

 quite a bit when she was younger and still does when she has a

 chance, though she's very particular about her dance partner. She's

 waiting for one dance in particular. But I think her partner won't

 mind if she dances with me or Sakura once or twice until then. You

 were an extremely good dancer yourself. For some reason I had thought

 as much. Ieran-sama must have raised you for such things, but I think

 a lot of it was your own giddy spirit shining through. It was a

 wonderful night of dancing. I feel bad for keeping Sakura-chan mostly

 to myself, but I was far too intoxicated by her presence to let go of

 her. It was a lovely night and if you're ever in Tomoeda again, I

 would love to go and experience it all again. 

 	We were both very happy to have you here. The house was always very

 quiet with just mother and myself, so we're both so happy to get an

 exuberant burst of energy to liven up the house. I was very happy to

 see you again. Thank you so much for coming. You were such a great

 help during my stay in Hong Kong and your letters helped me

 tremondously. It was a pleasure to be the subject of Li Fanren's

 attention, even if for such a short period of time. I can't thank you

 enough for your friendship throughout all of this. Thank you very

 much. I hope that you one day find someone that will fill up your

 heart with the unending joy that Sakura-chan grants me. I really do

 love her with all my heart and she makes me so incredibly happy. I

 hope one day you can have that as well. But with how loving you are,

 I'm certain that that day isn't far off. 

 	I'm very glad that Meiling-chan finally has Li-kun. I could always

 tell that she loved him dearly. I felt sorry for her when Sakura-chan

 got with Li-kun, because she and I were both in very similar

 positions, but I guess neither of us have to worry about that

 anymore. I bet their wedding will be a very beautiful one indeed.

 I'll have to give Meiling-chan all my best hopes for her happy wedded

 future. I think she'll do well with Li-kun. From what I had seen and

 what Sakura tells me, he can be stubborn at times, but that shouldn't

 be a problem for Meiling-chan. It's nice to know that they'll have

 their happy ending as well. I know I'm enjoying mine immensely.

 Knowing Li-kun has found his prince will delight Sakura-chan, I'm

 sure. 

 	Sakura-chan and I are looking for our own place now, though I know

 mother wouldn't mind if we keep staying with her indefinitely.

 Sometimes I think she adores Sakura's presence as much as I do.

 Wherver we go, we'll definitely need to have plenty of space. It

 turns out that Sakura brought a shimmering gift with her from Hong

 Kong. We just found out several days ago when Sakura woke up and

 wasn't feeling very well. It took us a while to find out why, but we

 were both thrilled when we found out. It almost looked like Sakura-

 chan was going to faint at first so I held onto her as tightly as I

 can, though I couldn't quite keep from shaking myself. Sakura is

 pregnant, Fanren-chan. We were both so surprised at first, but we're

 overjoyed at the prospect of a little child to raise. I'm sure she'll

 look just like her mother. Don't worry at all about the baby. I'm

 going to try to pamper Sakura as much as possible throughout her

 pregnancy and I want to do the same to the baby as soon as she comes

 to join us. Looking at my poor sleeping Sakura-chan like this, you'd

 never know she was pregnant. But it fills my heart with joy to know

 that she has a little life growing inside of her. Sakura says that if

 it's a girl, she's going to name her after me. I teased her that it

 isn't fair that she gets to name a child after me but I only got to

 name a teddy bear after her. If our daughter is chibiTomoyo, then I'm

 going to have to let her sleep with Sakura Bear in her crib, so that

 our little Sakura and Tomoyo can have wonderful dreams together. 

 	I once said that I would be happiest as long as the one I loved was

 happy. But I learned that my lonely heart longed for Sakura's genki

 warmth to soothe it. I can't begin to describe how happy my new

 auburn haired wife has made me. The wedding was very likely the

 single greatest day of my life, surpassing even the treasured day

 when I first met her. To join our hearts like that, to have

 everything fall into place so perfectly, to see everyone there for us

 as we pledged our love... It was all hanyaan. I hope Sakura-chan

 doesn't mind me stealing her word, but it really is the only thing

 that fits how I feel even now as I look back on it. I'm surprised she

 hasn't gotten tired of me watching the wedding video yet. Thank you

 so much for videotaping it for me. The angles were all perfect and

 when Sakura-chan steps into the frame my heart begins to melt. My

 sweetest dreams pale in comparison to actually standing there with

 Sakura in wedding gowns, gazing into her eyes and knowing that we'll

 never be alone again. If these days never end, I know I have found

 heaven. 

 	My lovely Sakura-chan sleeps so peacefully even as we near work, as

 if such trivial things are of no consequence to my dreaming angel. I

 love her so much, Fanren-chan. With all my heart and soul. With all

 that I am. And this love for her grows with every passing day, just

 as it always has. It has become a thrilling ache throughout me as I

 spend my days and nights with the Mistress of the Cards, and bask in

 her energetic and kawaii presence. This delicious ache always grows

 stronger, almost painfully so, but I would never wish to be without

 it. I used to watch every little adventure she had through the lens

 of my camcorder. Now everyday is an adventure, but rather than

 watching it, Sakura pulls me into it, giving me a taste of the

 wondrous things life has to offer. Raising a daughter, finding a

 house, and wherever else this delightful path takes us, I will be

 more than happy to follow as long as my beautiful bride is there to

 light up my world.

 	The limousine has stopped. I'll have to wake Sakura-chan up soon.

 But I hope no one ever wakes me up from this dream. I want it to go

 on forever. 

 

 Your friends in Japan,

 Tomoyo and Sakura Daidouji
