During the "final judgment" Li confessed his feelings to Sakura. And as faith would have it, Li needed to return home to China. Even though they weren't together for a long period of time, the split up still had profound affected on both parties. Life goes on, so eventually they have to move on. When the series ended (anime), I believe they were 11 years old. This story takes place five years after the series and four years after the movie; making them 16 years old. I also want the readers to keep in mind that, this story is going to written in a non formal manner. Meaning it's a combination between a play/movie script meets a novel/story format. The dialogue may contain slang terms or not always be a complete sentence structure because my goal is as real as possible. As we all know, most people don't speak proper English at all times. Depending on the environment you're in or were raised in. If you have any questions please let me know. :: = actions

Chapter 1: Perspective.

This story begins at the Syaoran residents. Mei lin or cock blocker as, I like to call her, drops by to pay Li a visit; unexpected and unwanted like usual. After, entering the complex she headed for Li's sleeping quarters aka his bedroom and when she got there to her surprised his wasn't there. Being that she knew him so well, she put two and two together and walked out to the back of the house where she found him lying in a hammock, with one foot hanging of the side as, it rocked back and forth. She called out to him but no answer came. So in frustration, she walked over to the hammock and flipped him out of it and onto the floor

[Mei lin] Hey Li. How you doing?

[Li]:: signs before picking himself up off the floor:: What are you doing here? Better yet, just leave.

[Mei lin] Look, how many times do I gotta tell you before you understand that I don't like you that way. :: she then started to speak in a mocking type voice:: But, why are back here moping? Summer vacation just started, you should be out having fun.

[Li] Mei lin go away, come back tomorrow and bother me. Not, like you weren't planning on it anyway.

[Mei lin] Oh, I understand now. :: she sat down on the hammock next to him::

[Li] :: Huh. What are you talking about? :: Turned his head and looks at her in total confusion ::

[Mei lin] So have you heard from your girlfriend or her sidekick lately?

[Li] I don't have a girlfriend, so I don't know who you're talking about.

[Mei lin]You know exactly who I'm talking about? Sakura? :: she said in condescending tone :: Remember her.

Mei lin came at the wrong time as usual. And not only was he annoyed by her presence but seemed like she was going out of her way to annoy him. Mei lin knew Li better then he would like to admit. So, she could just look at him and tell what was wrong. If she knew he was thinking about Sakura, why would she talk about her? Was she purposely trying to add onto his pain or maybe she was making fun of him. Nah, she wouldn't do that to him, she understood how he felt better than anyone. She knew what it was like to love someone that you could never be with, how it felt to be rejected by the one you loved. Poor Li, he's as confused as ever.

[Li] Of course, I haven't talked to her. Why would I want too? :: he said with obvious irrational in his voice as he spoke :: Why do you even care?

[Mei lin] Liar, Man up and admit the fact that you like her. :: she looks at him :: You've known me, all our lives and you still can't trust me. Haven't we been through enough together already?

[Li] Alright… Damn, I still like her. Are you happy now? :: the enraged look on his face changed into embarrassed yet sadly expression ::

[Mei lin] Why don't you go and call her? It will help you feel a lot better. Besides, If it was me, I would want to know. So, go call her a call?

[Li] That's not gonna happen, regardless how bad I want to. So, just leave me alone and go home. :: he turned his attention to the pond that was located directly in front of them ::

[Mei lin] Why are you being so damn stubborn? Just here me out and let me help you.

[Li] You're calling me stubborn. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? You never mind your business, that's why. :: He lets out a long sigh :: If I corporate, will you promise to go away.

[Mei lin] Today must be my lucky day. :: she responded happily but quickly mellowed down :: Yeah, you bet.

[Li] I tried calling her already and had no luck. I sent her a letter on more than one occasion. I left message after message. But nothing; She must hate me. And you know what I don't blame her. :: he had an intense look of sadness and as he spoke his eyes drifted towards the ground. ::

[Mei lin] And I though, she was a nice person. I guess I was wrong. :: She paused:: I have an idea.

[Li] Why do I get the feeling that I'm not going to like this idea.

[Mei Lin] Why not go see her and personally?

[Li] I'll pass. But didn't we just make a deal? So beat it. :: Looks at her and then back to the pond ::

[Mei lin] Since,you wanna be stubborn. I'm make you listen the only way, I know how. :: she pushed him on the floor, grabbed him by his shirt collar and started to smacking him across the face; followed by his body being shaken up:: Just go see her and tell her how you feel. You can curse her out for all I care but you gotta do something. :: she stopped shaking him and dragged him over to the pond and shoved his face into the water::

Li was shocked but in all honesty, he was more than shocked dumbfounded was more like it. He wasn't expecting that to happen. Mei lin was high sprung but she never was this way with him. She was annoying but gentle and could be very over protective, at times to say the least. He was hurting but wasn't this anything he couldn't take. But he finally understood, just the dose he need to pull himself back together. But still, was dumping his head in the pond really necessary?

[Li] Alright, I got your point. :: he wiped the mud off his face and then shook and the clumps off of his hands:: But, was dumping my face in the pond really necessary?

[Mei lin] No, but that's the fastest way I could think of getting results. :: she gives a boastful smirk and then a smile, that shined of victory::

[Li] I'll go see her and sort these things out. :: he stands up while he's holding his cheek :: Never though, I'd ever say this. But, Thank You Mei lin.

[Mei Lin] Don't think me just yet.

[Li] Huh? Why not?

[Mei Lin] Your flight leaves tonight. :: she hands him a airplane ticket. All you need to do is, go pack. :: she stood up and left Li where he was sitting::

Mei ling already made plan and he played right into her little game. Kinda fucked up if you asked me but she did it with good intention. But to be honest, it really wasn't that much of a shock because Mei lin does everything with reason. So, she must be benefiting from it some home.

I only made minor changes to this chapter. If you enjoyed or didn't, I would still like hear from you.
