A/N: Told ya I would update soon. ^_^ Actually, I was gonna update sooner, but my computer kinda erased this the first time, so I had to write it again. Neways, here's the second chapter of Card Captor Meimi. I'm gonna stop calling Meimi's parents otousan and okaasan 'cause it's getting kinda annoying to write all the time. Gomen! Don't forget to review! Please!!! ^_^
Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura, or any related characters. Made up characters (Meimi, etc) are mine. Enjoy.
Card Captor Meimi
"What do you mean they were acting weird?" Midori-chan asked me. I was talking to Midori-chan on the phone, telling her
about what had happened before dinner. After the conversation with my parents, they seemed to be acting normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
"I mean they were asking me if I felt anything, sensed something strange. Then, when I told them that I didn't, they seemed kind of sad."
"That is weird. I'll ask my mother, maybe she knows. Your mom and mine are, like, best friends. I think they've been since they were in school together. Hey, do you want to come to my house tomorrow? Mom wants you to come to a tea party. It would be fun. She invited your Mom, too. Ask her if she wants to come."
"Hai, that sounds great. I'll ask her. See you tomorrow, Midori-chan."
"Oyasumi, Meimi-chan." Wai! I get to go to Midori-chan's huge mansion! Mom told me that we could've had a house that big, that Father was no stranger to money. She said something about money back in China, but I can't remember the rest. But I do know that Mom liked life simple. She saw no need to have a huge house, rather than a comfortably sized one. I, personally, want a house I could get lost in. Oh well.
::knocking::
"Hai?"
"Meimi-chan, it's me. Can I come in?" It was Mom.
"Yeah, just a moment." I walked over to the door and opened it. There was my mom, with what looked like a key in her hands.
"Here, Meimi-chan, keep this. You might need it." She opened my palm and put the key inside it. She kissed my forehead, like she does every night.
"Oyasumi nasai, Meimi-chan. Your father will come in a few minutes. Keep that safe, and don't ever lose it." She smiled and walked out of the room.
I closed the door and walked back to my bed. Hmm, what is this? Huh?
It is a key, like I thought, but it's the strangest looking key I've ever seen!
It was a star with a wing on each side. What was this supposed to be for?
::thud::
"Huh?"
::thud::
"What's that?"
"Meimi-san, daijoubu desu ka?" Father poked his head through the door.
"Uh, hai, daijoubu desu. Do you know what this is? Mom gave it to me," I asked, holding up the key to my Father. He smiled knowingly at me, then took it from my hands.
"It's a key."
::sweatdrop::
"I knew that! I mean, what's it for? Why is it so special to Mom?"
He looked serious for a moment. Like how he looks when reliving memories. He then gave me back the key.
"It's a key to a whole new world. The world of Clow-san."
"Nani?"
"You'll understand soon enough. It's time for bed anyway. Oyasumi nasai, Meimi-san. Don't lose that key. If I'm right, you'll need it very soon." He smiled at me, then left.
What's going on here!?!?! Who is Clow-san? And why do I have this stupid key? Too many questions!!! And what was that noise? Ugh, I need to sleep. I turned out the light, and closed my eyes, everything going black.
"Soon enough, Meimi. Soon enough."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So Meimi-chan, where are you going?" Mom asked me, while watering some plants.
"Over to Midori-chan's house. Her Mom invited me to a tea party. She invited you, too."
"Honto? Sugoi, I can see Tomoyo-chan again! You go on ahead, I need to finish this," she stated, motioning to the plants.
"Hai."
I went over and put on my shoes. I didn't need to skate because Midori-chan lives just down the street.
"I'm going then. Ja!" I called before opening the door and leaving.
Wai! I'm sooo happy. Midori-chan's mother is really nice. Actually, her Father is too. I know that my parents and her parents were all friends at school, so they're very close. Father was never very close to Midori-chan's father, though. I wonder why? Oh, I'm here. I walked up the steps and rang the bell. A maid with black hair and reddish eyes opened the door. I recognized her from the last time I was here. If I recall correctly, she was Tanaka Keiko.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Li-sama. Midori-sama is in her room. Follow me, I'll show you there."
I followed the maid up a flight of stairs, and turned left. The second door we got to, she knocked on.
"Midori-sama, Li-sama is here." A girl with long, dark blue hair and violet eyes opened the door. Midori-chan!
"Meimi-chan, ohayo gozaimasu! Come in. Arigatou gozaimasu, Keiko-san.
"Do itashimashite, Midori-sama," she replied before bowing and leaving.
"Ohayo, Midori-chan. My mother said she would be coming soon."
"Good. Ne, I found some of Mother's old things and she said we could look at them. Come over here."
I followed her over to a huge wooden chest. She opened it, and inside was row after row of video tapes.
"Videos?" I asked her. Why so many video tapes?
"Mother had this thing for taping your mother when they were younger. She said that we could look at the ones marked with a blue square. The others, as odd as this sounds, we aren't yet ready to see. Want to watch them?" We aren't ready to see? She sounds like my parents. They all seem to know something will happen soon. How?
"Meimi-chan?"
"Huh? Oh, right. Hai, let's watch some." We went over to her theater (yes, she has her own theater!) and she put the first tape in. It was Mom being taped wearing a cat fuku. A cat fuku?
"Why is Mom dressed up like that?" I asked Midori-chan.
"My Mom's early creations, I guess. They're a lot different from the ones she makes now, ne?" she responded, smiling.
"Yeah, I guess so. Are all the tapes of my Mom modeling her clothes?"
"I think so. I've seen a few of these before, and they're all like this one. Oh, what's that noise?"
"What noise?" I asked, confused.
"Shh, listen." I did as she said and then I too heard the "noise", if you could call it that.
::SAKURA-CHAN!!!:: Man, how could I miss it?
"I think Mom's here. Let's go down to meet them."
She smiled, responding, "Hai!"
