The Pretty Card

Chapter 6: The Test of Fate

"Pre-Sa-Pre-Sa-Pre-Sa-Pre-" Li was trying to make up his mind.
Glassy eyes, normal eyes, glassy, normal, glassy, normal, glassy-
Li won over. "I think Sakura's way more beautiful!" he said very loudly and triumphantly. The three girls (Madison, Meilin, and Sakura) grinned at him, Sakura going particularly red. When he saw their facial expressions, he paled and sweat dropped, knowing his secret admiration for Sakura was now not so secret.

"Pretty Card,
Return to your power confined!
Pretty!"

A violent gust of wind sucked the crying card back into its Clow card. The card was crushed knowing that even under her power, Li believed another girl could not even close to a worthy opponent for the card, let alone beat her, was more beautiful.
The Clow card floated down into Sakura's hand. "Yes!" she cried, jumping into the air, "I got it!"
Remembering what Li had done, she turned around to face him. He was a deep shade of pink.
Sakura bounded over to him, and planted a big kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you," she whispered into his ear before skipping off.
Li went from pink to bright red. He touched his cheek, stunned, while Meilin and Madison looked on, silently laughing.
