The summer came upon the nations of Latin Byzantines and Kurona as Anne and Alexandra had gone back home. What Alexandra and Lee did not know was that in some time they would get to meet their foreign friends once again. Anne Thatcher convinced her parents, with the assistance of William, to go to Kurona for a summer vacation. They packed up what they wanted and needed and got on the airport, after booking a room or two in one of Kurona's most expensive and best hotels. When they landed, Anne and Will thought about Alexandra and Lee while the others simply wanted to explore the nation of Kurona.

They later got to the hotel (you may contribute a name) and made themselves at home in their near extravagant rooms. Later on in the day, Anne decided to go for a walk, she had known much about the town to go by herself (though her mother was a bit reluctant). As she walked through the town, she noticed a tennis court. She decided to go play tennis for a while, not knowing that in some time a royal patron would come along......

At the Hotel Somomi Plaza one of the finest in Kurona people from miles around came. Even Tomoyo took many types of activites there. Swimming, exercise, and this tennis. Tomoyo was wearing athletic clothes so it was hard for anyone to recognize her. She was seldom seen out of her royal attire. "Hello." She said to Anne. "Is this court taken, or can I join?"

(Maybe the press could find Anne and Tomoyo together and Lee could see them on TV?)

Anne smiled at Tomoyo and began to reply. "You can join. If you'd like, perhaps we could have a game of tennis together?" Anne was dressed in athletic clothing too, which made her look like a younger version of your average tennis pro.

Tomoyo agreed and they began to play tennis matches together. Anne always seemed to defeat Tomoyo, who did not notice as the time flew by quite fast that journalists and other members of the press began to notice something about her.....they soon would swarm on her like locusts on a farm.

Tomoyo was panting. "Whew you are quite the athlet."

"There she is, Tomoyo, your highness."

"Oh darn!"

The press was frenzeily snapping photos of her with her guests. "Who is this you are playing with?"

"This is Anne. "

"Hi Anne!" The press exclaimed.

They snapped her picture. Further out west Lee grabbed the paper from the stand. "What in the? Oh my!" He darted home. "Mom dad you have to see this!"

"Son what is it?"

"It's Anne. With Tomoyo! Our Princess Tomoyo!"

"Son you must be...It is Anne!"

"Can I please..."

"Go."

Lee ran and told everyone the news. Then hopped onto a horse to Sonomi.

Tomoyo was panting. "Whew you are quite the athlet."

"There she is, Tomoyo, your highness."

"Go."

Lee ran and told everyone the news. Then hopped onto a horse to Sonomi.

Anne gave some responses to the press before the congregation of journalists disbanded and left Anne and Tomoyo alone. Anne thanked Tomoyo for the compliment and several matches before going back home. As she walked back home, Lee rode in the streets. When he saw Anne walking, he told the horse to ride quickly to her, he soon found himself intercepting her......

"Anne, it's you!" Lee called out. "It's me Lee, rember?!"

"Anne, it's you!" Lee called out. "It's me Lee, rember?!"

Anne was amazed to see Lee, who ran towards her and then stopped just inches from her face. "Lee, is it really you?" Anne asked as they looked into each other's eyes for a brief moment.

"Yeah it's me! Oh I've missed you so much!" He hugged her. "We have all. Though a lot has happend since you left. What are you doing here, and how did you come to be with Her Royal Highness?!" He asked excitedly.

"Yeah it's me! Oh I've missed you so much!" He hugged her. "We have all. Though a lot has happend since you left. What are you doing here, and how did you come to be with Her Royal Highness?!" He asked excitedly.

Anne returned Lee’s embrace as she talked to him. “What has happened since I’ve left? I came here with my family for a vacation and as for being with…..Her Royal Highness? The lady who came up to me as I was at the tennis court and who I seemed to defeat in every game of tennis we had was royalty?”

"Yeah, that was Tomoyo, our Princess Our ruler our leader. I can't belive this you mean to tell me you beat Her Majesty Tomoyo Mikanu in a game? Wow!" He laughed.

"Yeah, that was Tomoyo, our Princess Our ruler our leader. I can't belive this you mean to tell me you beat Her Majesty Tomoyo Mikanu in a game? Wow!" He laughed.

As they talked, they began to walk together. Anne explained how she beat Tomoyo in every game they played against each other before they reached the hotel. "My family and I are staying here, you know." Anne said as she was about to go through the hotel entrance.

"Wow, your family is staying in the most expenisve hotel in Kurona? Whew, Alex wasn't kidding you really are wealthy. Well, hey tomorrow if you want, I can bring you back to my farm for the day. You get to see Margaret the rest of the family you stayed with, and well meet some of our new neighbors. And your brother would be able to see Alex again as well."

"You have a farm? That would be nice to see. It would be good to see Margaret and all of them again. Perhaps I may meet Alex too, and also perhaps my family could meet Margaret's family and yours too."

"Yeah we sure do. Strange I figured you knew it when you came here. Yeah why not. See you tomorrow morning then?"

"Yeah we sure do. Strange I figured you knew it when you came here. Yeah why not. See you tomorrow morning then?"

"My mind went weird for a bit there. Anywho, sure I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Great, see you tomorrow." As night passed on into day, he was back again. This time with a full cart to pull them. He had learned the summer that Anne left to drive the horse cart (ooc: Really Kuronan's only means of transportation)

"Hey Anne, good morning. Your charriot awaits." He joked. The cart certianly was anything BUT A charriot. "I take it you are Anne's parents. Pleased to meet you, I'm Lee." He shook their hands.

"Good morning to you too, Lee."

Anne's parents were glad to meet Lee and so was Anne's siblings. They got onto the house cart which began to go through the streets of the city towards the farm. Will was thinking about Alexandra as he studied the buildings he saw. "How long till we arrive?" Anne asked Lee.

"Just another half-hour and we'll be there. I'm still learning to drive this, so I'm a little slow." He chuckled. "I must tell you, Anne really adjusted well when she came her. It's hard for some people to adapt to Kuronan life. "


Meanwhile Margaret, Alex, Tommy Hannah, their neighbors Misuzu and Rena. Misuzu and Rena's famlies were new. Having moved there the summer of Anne's departure. Margararet anxiously looked out as well as Alex. "See anything?"

"No."

Rena was also impatient. "When are we going to meet this freind of y'alls?"

Though Misuzu seemd to be the most patient. She sat and read from The Book of Mormon and occasionally cross refrencing to her Bible.

"You know if you sat and read," Misuzu said "You wouldn't be so impatient. That goes for all of you?"

"Aren't you hot in that Kimono?" Asked Rena, who was wearing nothing but her overalls.

"Not at all. As long as it keeps me modest in my dress, what does it matter? Maybe you should consider it Rena."

"Cool it. Hey here they come!" Margaret shouted.

They pulled up. "Here we are Lee said."

"William!" Alex exclaimed. She ran and embraced him.

"Anne, how's it going?" Margaret asked. "We've missed you. Are you her parents? I'm Margaret, her surrogate sister."

"I'm Hannah, her other sister!"

"She means other surogate, and I'm Tommy her surgoate brother."

"Just another half-hour and we'll be there. I'm still learning to drive this, so I'm a little slow." He chuckled. "I must tell you, Anne really adjusted well when she came her. It's hard for some people to adapt to Kuronan life. "

They pulled up. "Here we are Lee said."

"William!" Alex exclaimed. She ran and embraced him.

"Anne, how's it going?" Margaret asked. "We've missed you. Are you her parents? I'm Margaret, her surrogate sister."

"I'm Hannah, her other sister!"

"She means other surogate, and I'm Tommy her surgoate brother."

William and Alex embraced each other a bit tightly as Margaret and the others talked to Anne, who introduced them to her family (her parents and sister). Everyone soon went into the house and were having a great time enjoying everyone's company. During this, Lee tried to get next to Anne, he wanted to go out with her again. Alexandra also wanted to be with William. Margaret talked to Anne's sister while the parents of Anne talked to Lee's (or Margaret's?) parents.

At long last Margaret's parents along with Lee's parents came back. For days now they had been tending to levees around the country to prevent flooding. "Woah looks like a party here."

"Mama papa!" They embraced their parents. "Hey, we missed you." Lillian said "Aha Anne, your back!" Lillian swept her into an embrace. "You must be her mother and father. I'm Lillian this my husband James, it's great to meat you at last."

"Oh goodness, where are our manners? Anne these are our new neighbors and freinds. Rena and Misuzu. Sorry."

"It's okay."

"It's okay."

Anne's parents were pleased to meet Margaret's parents and they began to talk and have a good conversation, enjoying each other's company. It seemed everyone was having a good time.

Anne smiled and greeted Rena and Misuzu. They began to talk about how Anne and Lee survived the tornado and helped Margaret when they found her in the rubble.

"Amazing!" Misuzu said. "And I thought a small earthquake was a big deal when I moved here, but I've never been through a tornado like that."

"It was a close one, but we all surivived."

"Far out!" Rena said. "You ever had an F5?"

"No," Lee said. "To be honest that was the worst we've had. Though I guess it's the worst disaster Anne has ever experienced."
