Summer's here! Sakura breathed in heavily. She stopped by a curve in the
sidewalk. Panting, she spun around.
"Hmm. That's strange. I could have sworn someone was following me." She
stared at an alleyway. She was about to move in to investigate, when Tomoyo drove
by her in a long, black limousine. Tomoyo's rich, doncha know.
"Hey! Wanna go to the ice cream parlor? On me!" Tomoyo waited anxiously for an
answer.
"Sure." Sakura turned for one last look. Nothing happened. She entered the car.
She was unaware of the hand gesture that Tomoyo waved to the darkened alley.
"Whew. Close one." Meilin appeared from out of the shadows in the alley.
Clutching an envelope close, Meilin dashed towards Sakura's house. Looking about
nervously, she slipped the envelope into the mailbox.
"You, Shaoran, just don't know how to show your true feelings to the one you
most desperately love. This'll help you." Meilin grinned inwardly and ran off to catch
her plane back to Hong Kong with Shaoran.
"Good-bye! Thanks for the ice-cream!" Sakura walked up the steps to her house.
Upon entering, she noticed Touya stuffing an envelope into the trash. Once he
spotted her, he made to block the trashcan from her view.
"Oh, uh, hey there you squirt. How was your last day of school?" Touya smiled
falsely.
Sakura made a mental note to herself to check the trashcan later. "Not much.
Gonna go change now." She could see relief flash across his face. Silently, Cero
floated above the stairway watching Sakura as she trundled up.
"What's bothering you?" Sakura jumped in surprise. "Oh, you. Well, I'm fine. Tell
me when Touya leaves for work."
Cero scratched his head. "What reason does she have for waiting 'til he's gone?
Does she want to rummage in the kitchen with me? I'm sure she's not that hungry at
this time..." Still scratching his head, Cero headed back towards Sakura's room.
Sakura was unpacking her school supplies when she heard Cero whoop. "Yeah!
He's gone! Time for that delicious sandwich I saw him hide in the cupboard."
The girl, with amazing speed, beat him to the kitchen. She reached into the
trashcan and pulled out a crumpled envelope. Cero looked over her shoulder.
To Miss Sakura Avalon... From Li Shaoran! With crumbs bulging out of his stuffed
mouth, Cero exclaimed, "Why, he has the nerve!"
Sakura brushed his crumbs from her envelope. "Don't disturb me please. I'm going
to read this."
"No problem! This package of chips will last me awhile..."
Sakura made her way back up to her room. She felt strangely excited to read what
Shaoran might have written. Sitting down on her bed, she tore open the envelope.
The first thing that caught her eyes was an airplane ticket to Hong Kong. Puzzled,
Sakura looked to the letter. It said:
Cardcaptor Mistress,
Have you ever been to visit my home country? I wish you would come spend the
summer with me here in Hong Kong. I would gladly show you around. Besides, Meilin
is not fun company. She will meet you at the airport, though. See you soon.
Shaoran
Sakura readily agreed to the idea of visiting Shaoran in Hong Kong. What fun!
"You think Sakura's going to promise him?" Meilin asked Tomoyo on the phone.
Meilin was back in Hong Kong.
"Don't know. Perhaps. But without her here, I'll have a boring summer."
"You can come along. Besides, then we can spy on then together. I mean, you had
the money to afford her plane ticket."
"That's right! But I'll probably have to come later. Oh, I'm going to see how
Sakura's doing now. Call you back soon."
Meilin leaned back and smiled. This would be an exciting summer. She never
thought she'd be a matchmaker, but she was definitely going to enjoy it.
