Author's Notes: I decided to take a break from "Song of Blood" and try another romantic epic to add to the Dreamscape legacy. Enjoy!!

Preservers of the Dreamscape - The Trigger
Every once in a while, a mishap occurs in a parallel world and the love and innocence of that world would slowly diminish. It is up to the Preservers of the Dreamscape to preserve the love and innocence to some degree. This is the tale of one particular Preserver and an emerald-eyed girl.
Once again, the Dreamscape was buzzing with Preservers and an overworked Crothus. "For crying out loud, give me a hand here!!!" The Defender did not reply. His mind was too busy, observing the events unfolding in the alternate world. "This is it."
The Clow cards have been behaving rather bizarre recently. It was discovered that Sakura had to give them more power as their original powers Clow reed granted for them are running out. The cards are being changed to Sakura cards.
Who would have thought that the Clow cards could run out of power? It's because of them that Eriol, reincarnation of Clow Reed, had to come to Readington and keep an eye out for the Clow mistress and her friends.
The Chinese boy continued to attack the punching bag. Every time Eriol flashed one of his friendly smiles at Sakura, a pang of jealousy would run in Li's blood. 'What's happening to me? Have I grown attached to her?' Drops of sweat fell from his forehead.
He had confided in Kero about his suspicions about Eriol. The guardian beast also felt something but it appeared to be too weak to be any type of magic. Perhaps his emotions are getting to him. Emotions that he tried to suppress. Crothus told all the Preservers that they must not let emotions get in the way of their missions. The Dreamscape is a massive place and needed constant attention. There are missions that had to be carried out.
The boy dressed in a gray outfit and went outside to clear his head. Ever since he met Sakura, she gave him back his emotions. That's why he watches her from the shadows. These emotions have made him feel uncomfortable.
Yet at the same time, he felt something that he never felt before. All that happens only when she's near. "Sakura...I can't." Julian's voice echoed through the park. Li overheard a conversation not too far from where he was.
"...what?" Her voice is filled with fear. Li gave a start. Her aura is becoming unstable. "I do love you but not that way. You're more of a little sister to me. I'm sure you should be able to understand."
Small sobs could be heard from behind the bush. When Li came around the bush, Julian had already left. He saw Sakura, who had curled her body close to the tree. "Sakura?" She looked up with tear stained eyes. "Why don't you go after him? Maybe you'll have better luck," she spoke bitterly.
He knelt by the trunk. "The emotions I felt for him have already dissipated. The only reason I even felt an attraction was because of Yue's sleeping power." Sakura placed her head on his shoulder. 'Her aura is still destabilizing.'
He let her cry for a few minutes before speaking. "When you look at it, Julian is correct. His age is about the same as your brother's." She looked at him. "So you're saying I should be looking for someone my age?" Li gave a shrug. "I suppose."
"And you're volunteering to be that someone?" He turned slightly red at that remark. "I do feel something towards you, Sakura. Perhaps it's because you helped me release the emotions I suppressed years ago. If I hadn't experienced these emotions, then I would never be able to fulfill the empty void in my heart. You saved me from that, Sakura and I'm not sure if I can repay that debt. But I will try by helping you get through this."
The crystal ball glowed red, reflecting the anger of its user. "A Preserver...he's attempting to change the flow to create another alternate world with me as a happy sack of sugar. It's a shame. I would have really liked another playmate." The girl stood up and waited as the ball started to calculate the coordinates of the new world being created. A haunting smile came to her lips. "Time to play."
Please review. I really need your opinion about the corniness of this segment. I swear, I will try to improve this. The next installment should be the last part of this little romance package because I can't write romance, period. There will be more stories with the Dreamscape so keep an eye out!!! Later!!!
