Chapter 10- Star's Confession
The next day, Ling and Syaoran seemed to have reached an unspoken agreement to not talk about what happened the previous night. Syaoran didn't know what was wrong with him. He loved Sakura with all of his heart, but he felt something for Ling. He felt guilty for leaving her hanging. He tried to apologize but she just wouldn't listen. Confused, he went back to his room to think about it. When he arrived to his room, he found a ghostly figure sitting on his bed. 'No, it can't be a ghost. They don't exist! It looks like… an angel!" he thought.
"Hi!" it said happily.
"AHHHH!!!" screamed Syaoran.
Eriol, Tomoyo, Ling and Sakura (Meiling was still resting) came running to his room.
"Boy, you scream like a girl!" commented Eriol.
"Shut up!" snapped Syaoran.
"I see you have met Star (everyone looked puzzled, especially Syaoran). You know… the guardian to my book?" said Ling.
"Oh! I remember you mentioning her before! She's pretty!" said Tomoyo.
"Miss, I've got to talk to you. It's important." Said Star, she sounded serious.
"Ok, let's talk in my room." Ling told Star.
They went to Ling's room.
"I know you haven't encountered any of your element cards, and I know why. I've got a confession to make. I kept the cards. I've got them. That's why you haven't seen them at all." Star said.
Ling was screaming with joy. "Woohoo! Yay! Tell me how you managed to keep them." Said Ling, looking like she had to hear the story then and there.
"I snuck them out of the deck the night before you sealed the cards in the book. They've been with my through everything, like your wedding. I kept all 4 cards because I knew that if they escaped, they'd be the most dangerous of all. Back then, you magic was as mature, that's why your cards weren't going into the book. But now, your powers have grown stronger and you have learned to harness them. Here are the cards." Said Star. She handed the cards over to Ling.
"I feel the power! Thanks a bunch! I really don't think that I could have captured those cards." Ling said. Ling felt a lot better than she did before.
"Ling, may I ask you a question?" Star asked.
"You just did! Hehe! Anyways, sure! Go ahead!" Ling said cheerfully.
"Well, I noticed that you have a fancy to that Syaoran kid! Isn't he with the Clow Mistress?" Star asked.
A smile came across Ling's face. "Well, ya. Don't worry! It's just a silly crush!" she lied.
"Oh, ok! That's all I wanted know!".
When Ling left her room, she found all of her friends standing there, waiting for her.
"We heard you screaming, so we came to see what the good news was!" said Tomoyo.
"Well…" Ling began. She noticed that Eriol and Tomoyo were unusually close (he had his around her shoulders). Ling continued to talk, but now with a sad expression on her face. "Um… Star had 4 of my cards! Isn't that great?" She finished in a false tone of happiness. Ling thought, ' Hmm… how come everyone had found love but me? I've found a new love, but he's taken. He's with Sakura. Eriol's with Tomoyo… well, not yet at least! I miss Ping! Oh, I feel depressed.'
Ling excused herself and went back into her room. She spent the rest of the day making another card, a card that would make her feel better. By the next morning, she had created 1 more card, making her total up to 21 cards. Her new card was the Happy Card.
