"Those girls were… uh, well, they're crazy about Sam and they say Sayau as a nick name. They think it's cool! Tee hee." Laughed Meilin nervously. "Meilin…" started Li. "It's the truth." Interrupted Madison. "Li, there's scratches in your new car!" screamed Sakura.
"Wha…?" yelled Li turning around. He quickly ran over to his car. "Aw man. My new car! Well, I better get it fixed professionally. I'm never driving that car to school again. I better get it scratch proof while I'm at It." Sighed Li scratching his head. Meilin patted his back, "Well, now you've learned your lesson." Smiled Meilin.
Just then Sayau came running back. "I think… *gasp * I lost *gasp * them." Sayau breathed heavily. "You're getting exercise." Smiled Madison. "I get enough playing sports, *gasp * thank you * gasp * very much. Having to run around the school *gasp *every morning is not fun." Said Sayau trying to catch his breathe.
"Well you better get ready to run, because here they come again." Sakura pointed. Meilin laughed. "Aw man." Sayau started sprinting again. "Speaking of that, Li, you better run as well. Follow Sam, he has a secret way of losing them." Smiled Madison. And not long after she said that, the girls were screaming, "Ooh another cute guy, he's mine!" and things like that. Li ran for his life after Sayau.
Meilin laughed. "Well, it'll be over in ten… nine, eight, seven… six, five, four, three, two… one… zero." Said Madison. Ding Dong. Went the bell. There was a sudden rush of students running into the school. Meilin laughed, "It happens every morning Sakura." This was the first time Sakura was actually early for school, so she never knew that every morning Sayau got exercises by running away from girls. "Hoe?" Madison laughed.
"Oh, now I know what Sayau meant when I asked him where he gets all the exercises." Smiled Sakura. "Let's go now, before we're late for class." Smiled Meilin.
When they got into their classroom, everyone was verily noisy. Some kids were throwing paper airplanes at each other while some were spitting spitballs. When the teacher came into the classroom, everyone settled down.
"Class, today we have a new student here. His name Syaoran Li. Please introduce yourself." Said the sensei as Li walked into the now silent class. All the girls had a star struck look in their eyes.
"Hi, my name is Syaoran Li. It's a pleasure." Said Li sternly until he bumped into Sakura warm felt eyes. Li blushed slightly. All they girls in the classroom shifted their gazes to where Li was starring and then shot death glares at Sakura. While most of the guys in the class stared at Li in way that said 'Don't even think of making a move on Sakura.' Of course, Li couldn't see that anyway.
"Thank you Li. You may now take your sit behind Ms. Kinomoto." Said the sensei. Li stopped by Sakura's desk for a split second before continuing on to his sit. Madison sighed in happiness while Meilin smirked at all the other girls in the class.
The first thing the had was a pop quiz on the math unit that they had just finished. The sensei had told Li that he needn't take it since he was new in the class and was behind in the class, but Li insisted on taking the test. Lots of girls in the class were now starring at him dreamily because they admired his stubbornness.
When the math quizzes were all handed out, everyone started scribbling on their math quizzes and fast, but Li was the first one to finish. "You're done already? Are you sure you don't need to preview it, to make sure you got it all right?" asked the sensei. "No thank you sensei, I already did that." Answered Li.
Everyone was amazed at the speed of his skills. Soon everyone was finished their quizzes and handed it to the sensei. "You've done pretty well class," said the sensei, "But there is one student among all of you that has done an outstanding achievement." Smiled the sensei. Meilin and Madison knew right away who it was. "That student is Syaoran Li, though he is new at this school, he's got a perfect mark one his quiz. Congratulation Li. And Sayau has done very well too. He has gotten 991/2%, he probably would have done better if he hadn't been trying to beat Li at speed." Smiled the sensei. Everyone was looking at Li now. "Wow Li, that's great. I didn't know you were so good in math. I mean I knew you were good, but high school stuff is so much harder." Said Sakura in awe. Li blushed, "If you need help on anything… I could… help." Suggested Li. "If she needs any help, she can get it from me." Smiled Sayau. "Thanks you guys. Li, Sam has been helping me with math ever since high school started." Smiled Sakura.
Li glared at Sam in jealousy while Sam just smiled at him in a triumph sort of way. "O.K. Ms. Kinomoto, will you please face the front of the classroom. You can show your affection outside class." Said the sensei. Li and Sakura blushed. "Gomen sensei." Said Sakura bowing her head. "O.K. now let's get going with our class." Said the sensei as he turned to face the board and started writing a math equation.
Lots of girls and boys were snickering at them but most were just jealous. Meilin and Madison were giggling. Sayau just sat there, he didn't know how he was suppose to react.
After class they had a short break so Li decided to try to talk to Sakura alone, but Meilin had other plans. "Hey Sakura! I was wondering, would you help me with something?" asked Sayau as he walked up to Sakura. "Sure Sam. What do you need help on?" asked Sakura. "Well, you see… it's kind of embarrassing. Can I talk to you alone?" asked Sayau glancing up at Li. "Oh uh… sure." Answered Sakura. "Uh… Li would you excuse me?" smiled Sakura as she walked away with Sayau.
Meilin was smiling as she gave Madison the cue to go help Sayau out. Meilin ran over to Li before the other girls could reach him. "Hey Li! Li can you help me get up onto that tree. I need to talk to you alone." Smiled Meilin. Li growled as he turned away from the sight he hated so much. Sam with Sakura. "Whatever Meilin." Said Li as he grabbed her by the waist and jumped onto a tree branch.
"Why did you want to talk up here Meilin?" asked Li. "Because Li. You see those girls over there? The big group of girls looking around like they're searching for something? Well, those girls have a habit of always chasing the cute guys at school around. Right now they're trying to find you and Say… Sam." Said Meilin. "O.K… so what did you want to tell me Meilin?" asked Li in confusion. "Well, it's about Sakura. As you already should know, Sam has been after Sakura in a long time. As you know, Sakura doesn't notice this and well, Sam is Sakura's best friend that's a guy. Well anyways, there's a dance coming up and Sam told me himself that this will be his chance. He'd ask Sakura to go to the dance with him. What are you going to do Li?" asked Meilin acting as if she was worried.
"Why are you asking me?" asked Li irritated, but quite worried. "Well, Li. Sam is going to ask Sakura. Aren't you going to stop him or something?" asked Meilin. "And why would I do that?" asked Li. "Because you love her you baka." Said Meilin in annoyance. "What are you talking about?" said Li blushing slightly but trying to control it.
"Everyone already knows that Li. You can't hide it you know?" said Meilin. "What!? I don't know what you're talking about Meilin." Said Li, as he was about to jump out of the tree. Meilin quickly grabbed him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. One thing there are still wild girls down there that will destroy you, another, you're a chicken Li. You can't just run away from your problems. And I thought you were great at everything. You can't even face your emotions. Sakura deserves to know how you really feel about her." Said Meilin.
Li closed his eyes. "Well what do you expect me to do Meilin?" said Li as he snapped his eyes open. "Tell her the truth and ask her to the dance. I thought you would have thought of that sooner." Said Meilin. "No Meilin. I can't. She's probably moved on already. I don't deserve her." Said Li. "Excuse me! You don't deserve her! You're pathetic Syaoran Li! After everything with the clow cards, you saving her life all the time and all. You don't deserve her! If you don't deserve her, no one else does. Li, can't you see that you're the only one for her?" yelled Meilin in disbelief. Li looked at Meilin in shock.
There was silence between them as Li thought it through. While with Sakura and Sayau. "What is it Sam?" asked Sakura. "Nothing really. I just needed to get you away from Li for a while, that's all." Said Sayau as he stopped. Sakura looked at him confused. "What Sam meant was that uh… Meilin wanted to catch up on some stuff with Li. You know, since they're cousins and all." Said Madison. "Oh." Said Sakura. "By the way Sakura, if I act weird around you during these two weeks, don't worry about it. I'm just being ordered… I mean dared to do stuff." Smiled Sayau nervously. "O.K." smiled Sakura. "Hey Sakura. I just designed another dress for you. It's for the dance that's coming up in two weeks." Said Madison. "Madison…" said Sakura with a sweat drop. Sayau smiled. "Please Sakura. You just have to wear it. You look so Kawaii. Please, for me." Said Madison with puppy eyes. Sakura looked at her best friend and sighed. "Oh, alright Madison." Said Sakura. "Yeah!" yelled Madison really loudly.
When Meilin heard the yell she quickly jumped out of the tree. "Where are you going Meilin?" asked Li. "Uh… nowhere in particular. I just remembered I needed to do something. Just think through what I told you." Answered Meilin as she waved goodbye and ran over to where Madison was.
"See ya Sakura!" waved Madison as she ran toward Meilin. "Hoe?" asked Sakura. "Don't worry about it." Smiled Sayau. Sayau saw Li coming toward them and took a deep breath. "Hey Sakura? Can you teach me to dance?" asked Sayau although he already knew how to dance. "I'm not a very good teacher." Said Sakura nervously. "It doesn't matter." Smiled Sayau as he grabbed her up close and started to dance with her. Sakura was surprised by the sudden grab but relaxed a bit. When Li got into view of Sam and Sakura the first thing he saw was Sam and Sakura dancing. "What the point?" said Li to himself. "Sakura deserves better than what I can give her. She seems so happy with Sam anyways." Said Li as he turned the other way and walked away depressingly.
"Meilin? Do you think we did the right thing?" asked Madison. "I was pretty sure about it before, but I didn't know Li was such a coward. He's a complete idiot when it comes to Sakura." Said Meilin. "I guess you'll really need to help him out." Said Madison. "Ya." Said Meilin sadly.
Just then, the mad girls spotted Li and started running toward him. "It's him!" they yelled. Sayau, seeing that Li didn't even hear the wild girls heading his way, broke up the dancing he was doing with Sakura and ran over to Li's side. "Hey girls!" smiled Sayau. Some of the girls fainted while the others just kept running toward them. Sayau grabbed Li's arm and dragged him out of the way. "What the?" asked Li as he snapped back to reality. " What's going on?" asked Li as he was being dragged by Sam. "Girls, crazy girls. They're right behind us. You better start running." Said Sayau. "Why are you helping me Sam?" asked Li. Sayau looked at Li confused but then remembered what he was supposed to be doing.
"Oh uh… if I let you die like this, how will I … uh… get any competition fun?" laughed Sayau nervously. Li growled at him. "What was that you said?" asked Sam. "N…nothing." Answered Li. Madison and Meilin laughed at the sight.
That night, when everyone was at home sleeping. Meilin slipped out of the house. She quickly ran toward the park where she was supposed to meet Sayau. When she got there she saw Sayau sitting on a bench. She approached him and then sat next to him.
"Hey Sayau." She said. "Hey Meilin." Replied Sayau. Meilin rested her head on his shoulder as Sayau snaked his arm around Meilin. "How long have you been waiting?" asked Meilin barely above a whisper. "An hour. It seemed like forever." Said Sayau. Meilin smiled, "Why's that?" she asked. "I've missed you Meilin." Said Sayau. "You just saw me today." Said Meilin. "I know, but it just wasn't the same. All day I neither chased by girls, being glared at by Li or else having to flirt with Sakura for no apparent reason. Meilin, I want you, not Sakura." Said Sayau sadly. Meilin smiled. "That's so sweet." Said Meilin as she gave him a kiss.
"Hey. If that's what I get for doing that, I'll do that more often." Joked Sayau. Meilin glared at him but then started laughing. "Well, there's still school tomorrow. We better get some sleep." Said Meilin. "I guess." Said Sayau sadly. "I'll walk you home." Said Sayau. "No, that's O.K. We can't risk Li catching you." Said Meilin. Sayau sighed sadly. "Great! Now I can't even walk my girlfriend home." He groaned.
Meilin looked at him sadly and went closer to him. They kissed one more time then Meilin headed back home. "Bye Sayau." She said. "Bye Meilin." Said Sayau as he sat back down and stared at the darkened sky. And soon he fell asleep on the bench by accident.
The next day in Li's residence. Li breathed out and inhaled, concentrating on his moves and mind and nothing else. 'Who does that guy think he is anyways?' thought Li. (A/N: Then again, maybe he wasn't concentrating very well.)
Li gave up and slumped down onto the couch. Then an image of Sakura and Sam passed through his head. "Urgh…" Li messed up his hair. Not that it wasn't already messed up.
"Master, there's a phone call for you." Said Wei as he entered the room. "Tell whoever it is I'm busy." Said Li letting his sword drop to the ground. "Master, it's that girl, uh… what was her name, oh right. Sakura." Said Wei. Li quickly scrabbled to his feet blushing like mad. "Hello?" asked Li.
* Hey Li! I knew you'd be awake. I was
Wondering if you'd like to walk to school together or something. *
"Huh? Oh, sure Sakura, when?"
* I was thinking around ten minutes or so. *
"Be right there."
* Great! See you then! Bye! *
"Uh, Bye." Said Li as he hung up. "Whew…" he left out his breath.
Meilin was giggling from upstairs. "MEILIN!!!" yelled Li. "Yes Li?" asked Meilin trying to act innocent. "How many times do I have to tell you not to listen in on my phone calls?" asked Li. "This is actually your first. You told me never to listen in on your important phone calls, but I'm sure that was important." Meilin joked around. "Meilin!" groaned Li. "What can I sat Li, Sakura's waiting for you, you better get ready. You've got exactly 20 minutes." Smiled Meilin, as she was about to leave.
"Huh? What do you mean 20 minutes? Sakura said 10, now there's only 8." Said Li. "Sakura always late remember. Now hurry up, you'd want to look your best wouldn't you?" asked Meilin playfully as she went back to her room to get dressed. 'Not to mention give something for the girls at school to chase after besides poor Sayau.' Meilin snickered when she got into her room.
Li sweat dropped. He decided he would take his car, but not the newer one.
While at Sakura's house. "Tori! Stop calling me that!" yelled Sakura. "Well isn't this the first. The squirt actually woke up early." Laughed Tori. "Tori!" yelled Sakura as she kicked her brother's foot from under the table. "Ouch!" yelled Tori as he glared at Sakura. Sakura stuck out her tongue. "Serves you right." Said Sakura as she ran back to her room with pancakes.
"Oh no!" yelled Sakura when she looked at the clock by her bed. "What is it Sakura?" asked Kero as he slowly flew out of the drawer. "I was suppose to meet Li 10 minutes ago!" yelled Sakura as she quickly grabbed her bag and ran down the stairs. When she got out the door, Li had just arrived.
"Hey Li! You got here right on time! How'd you know?" asked Sakura as she got into he car. "Let's just say Meilin's got a mind of her own." Said Li as he pulled out of the driveway. Sakura sweat dropped. "Uh… huh." "You better take good care of my sister!" yelled Tori as he watched them drive away.
When they got to school, it was still early so there weren't much people around. "Hey Sakura!" waved Sayau. "Hey Sam!" smiled Sakura. Li glared at him. Meilin followed Sayau from behind. "Meilin…" Li groaned. "Hey Li!" Meilin smiled evilly at him. Li stared at her. "What do you have on your mind Meilin?" asked Li. "Nothing." Said Meilin closing her eyes.
"Three... Two… One!" said Madison as she walked up to them. "Huh?" Li and Sayau said at the same time. Then they heard a sudden noise like a stampede. "NOT AGAIN!!!" yelled Sayau as he ran for it and Li followed. "WAIT UP CUTIES!!!" yelled the stampede.
Madison and Meilin laughed. Sakura sweat dropped. "Hey Madison! How's it going?" asked Bryan, as he got closer to Madison. "Oh hey Sayau. I'm fine." Madison smiled. Bryan blushed a bit, "Hey you know that dance coming up soon? Well… I was wondering, well… maybe you and I could… you know, go together." Said Bryan scratching the back of his head with one hand.
Madison looked at him sadly as he looked down on the floor. Meilin looked at him and Madison and then shook her head. "Well, Sayau… I'd really love to go with you…" started Madison but Bryan interrupted. "Great! Thanks Madison. I'll pick you up at 8 sharp." Said Bryan quickly as he ran off.
"Oh no." said Madison sadly. Meilin and Sakura went up to her and patted her back gently. "It's O.K. Madison. We'll think of something." Said Sakura. "Eriol would understand, besides…" said Meilin but she didn't know how to continue. Madison started to cry.
Just then, Li and Sayau were running by but when they saw Madison they ran backwards and stopped by her. "What's wrong Madison?" asked Sayau. Meilin went up to him, "Sayau asked her to the dance with him." Whispered Meilin so that Li wouldn't hear. "Sayau…" started Sakura but Meilin interrupted. "Sayau couldn't go to the dance and Madison doesn't have anyone that's a guy to go with her. Not a friend anyways." Said Meilin. Sakura looked at Meilin as Madison nodded.
"By the way, aren't you guys a bit busy?" asked Meilin pointing at the mob of girls after them. Sayau and Li nodded sadly and ran for their lives again.
One week later, and two days away from the dance. (Lots of guys asked Meilin, Madison, and Sakura to go to the dance with them, but they all refused.) It was after school and the sun was just starting to set.
Sayau walks up to Sakura and was about to pop the question but Li ran toward Sakura and tried to stop him.
Hey! Sakura, I was wondering if …" started Sayau. "If you want to go to the dance with me!" yelled Li quickly. Sakura and Sayau stared at him as Li blushed when he realized what he did. Sakura smiles sweetly at him and says "Sure Li." Li blushed even more as he blew a sigh of relief. "You will?" he asked in disbelief. "Of course!" said Sakura excitedly as she hugged him. Li glared at Sayau, waiting for him to glare back. But to his surprise, Meilin walks up to Sayau and kissed him on the cheek, as Sayau put his arm around her waist. "Huh?" asked Li.
"Great work Sayau." Said Meilin with a sweet smile. "It's finally over." Sighed Sayau in happiness. "What's going on?" asked Li glaring at Meilin.
"We all knew you wouldn't ask Sakura at all unless we did something, so everyday we mad Sayau get closer to Sakura to make you jealous. And it worked." Smiled Meilin. "Meilin!" groaned Li. "Hey, I didn't know that." Said Sakura. Madison smiled sadly as she walked away. "Wait up Madison, what is it?" asked Sakura. "Bryan asked me to the dance remember?" sighed Madison.
"O.K. whoever you are, explain." Said Li tapping his foot on the floor. "I'm Sayau. I guess we haven't been properly introduced. The other guy playing as me is Bryan." Smiled Sayau. "You mean you guys were playing around with me?!" yelled Li.
"And you should be grateful. Poor Sayau here had to suffer." Said Meilin making a puppy face. Li looked at Sayau untrustingly. "He was with Sakura and he was suffering?" said Li in disbelief. Sayau and Meilin laughed. "Whatever." Grumbled Li as he got into his car. Meilin waved good-bye to Sayau and got in with him.
"Now let's see. I'm thinking something formal, but not too formal to make to look too high classed. Something that shows a bit of your muscles." Started Meilin. "Meilin!" Li groaned as Meilin smiled evilly. "You've got to be prepared right?"
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I'll update ASAP! Please review! ^-^

"I get enough playing sports, *gasp * thank you * gasp * very much. Having to run around the school *gasp *every morning is not fun." Said Sayau trying to catch his breathe.

I need to talk to you alone." Smiled Meilin. Li growled as he turned away from the sight he hated so much. Sam with Sakura. "Whatever Meilin." Said Li as he grabbed her by the waist and jumped onto a tree branch.
"Why did you want to talk up here Meilin?" asked Li. "Because Li. You see those girls over there? The big group of girls looking around like they're searching for something?

When Li got into view of Sam and Sakura the first thing he saw was Sam and Sakura dancing. "What the point?" said Li to himself. "Sakura deserves better than what I can give her. She seems so happy with Sam anyways." Said Li as he turned the other way and walked away depressingly.
"Meilin? Do you think we did the right thing?" asked Madison. "I was pretty sure about it before, but I didn't know Li was such a coward. He's a complete idiot when it comes to Sakura." Said Meilin. "I guess you'll really need to help him out." Said Madison. "Ya." Said Meilin sadly.
Just then, the mad girls spotted Li and started running toward him. "It's him!" they yelled. Sayau, seeing that Li didn't even hear the wild girls heading his way, broke up the dancing he was doing with Sakura and ran over to Li's side. "Hey girls!" smiled Sayau. Some of the girls fainted while the others just kept running toward them. Sayau grabbed Li's arm and dragged him out of the way. "What the?" asked Li as he snapped back to reality. " What's going on?" asked Li as he was being dragged by Sam. "Girls, crazy girls. They're right behind us. You better start running." Said Sayau. "Why are you helping me Sam?" asked Li. Sayau looked at Li confused but then remembered what he was supposed to be doing.
"Oh uh… if I let you die like this, how will I … uh… get any competition fun?" laughed Sayau nervously. Li growled at him. "What was that you said?" asked Sam. "N…nothing." Answered Li. Madison and Meilin laughed at the sight.
That night, when everyone was at home sleeping. Meilin slipped out of the house. She quickly ran toward the park where she was supposed to meet Sayau. When she got there she saw Sayau sitting on a bench. She approached him and then sat next to him.
"Hey Sayau." She said. "Hey Meilin." Replied Sayau. Meilin rested her head on his shoulder as Sayau snaked his arm around Meilin. "How long have you been waiting?" asked Meilin barely above a whisper. "An hour. It seemed like forever." Said Sayau. Meilin smiled, "Why's that?" she asked. "I've missed you Meilin." Said Sayau. "You just saw me today." Said Meilin. "I know, but it just wasn't the same. All day I neither chased by girls, being glared at by Li or else having to flirt with Sakura for no apparent reason. Meilin, I want you, not Sakura." Said Sayau sadly. Meilin smiled. "That's so sweet." Said Meilin as she gave him a kiss.
"Hey. If that's what I get for doing that, I'll do that more often." Joked Sayau. Meilin glared at him but then started laughing. "Well, there's still school tomorrow. We better get some sleep." Said Meilin. "I guess." Said Sayau sadly. "I'll walk you home." Said Sayau. "No, that's O.K. We can't risk Li catching you." Said Meilin. Sayau sighed sadly. "Great! Now I can't even walk my girlfriend home." He groaned.
Meilin looked at him sadly and went closer to him. They kissed one more time then Meilin headed back home. "Bye Sayau." She said. "Bye Meilin." Said Sayau as he sat back down and stared at the darkened sky. And soon he fell asleep on the bench by accident.
The next day in Li's residence. Li breathed out and inhaled, concentrating on his moves and mind and nothing else. 'Who does that guy think he is anyways?' thought Li. (A/N: Then again, maybe he wasn't concentrating very well.)
Li gave up and slumped down onto the couch. Then an image of Sakura and Sam passed through his head. "Urgh…" Li messed up his hair. Not that it wasn't already messed up.
"Master, there's a phone call for you." Said Wei as he entered the room. "Tell whoever it is I'm busy." Said Li letting his sword drop to the ground. "Master, it's that girl, uh… what was her name, oh right. Sakura." Said Wei. Li quickly scrabbled to his feet blushing like mad. "Hello?" asked Li.
* Hey Li! I knew you'd be awake. I was
Wondering if you'd like to walk to school together or something. *
"Huh? Oh, sure Sakura, when?"
* I was thinking around ten minutes or so. *
"Be right there."
* Great! See you then! Bye! *
"Uh, Bye." Said Li as he hung up. "Whew…" he left out his breath.
Meilin was giggling from upstairs. "MEILIN!!!" yelled Li. "Yes Li?" asked Meilin trying to act innocent. "How many times do I have to tell you not to listen in on my phone calls?" asked Li. "This is actually your first. You told me never to listen in on your important phone calls, but I'm sure that was important." Meilin joked around. "Meilin!" groaned Li. "What can I sat Li, Sakura's waiting for you, you better get ready. You've got exactly 20 minutes." Smiled Meilin, as she was about to leave.
"Huh? What do you mean 20 minutes? Sakura said 10, now there's only 8." Said Li. "Sakura always late remember. Now hurry up, you'd want to look your best wouldn't you?" asked Meilin playfully as she went back to her room to get dressed. 'Not to mention give something for the girls at school to chase after besides poor Sayau.' Meilin snickered when she got into her room.
Li sweat dropped. He decided he would take his car, but not the newer one.
While at Sakura's house. "Tori! Stop calling me that!" yelled Sakura. "Well isn't this the first. The squirt actually woke up early." Laughed Tori. "Tori!" yelled Sakura as she kicked her brother's foot from under the table. "Ouch!" yelled Tori as he glared at Sakura. Sakura stuck out her tongue. "Serves you right." Said Sakura as she ran back to her room with pancakes.
"Oh no!" yelled Sakura when she looked at the clock by her bed. "What is it Sakura?" asked Kero as he slowly flew out of the drawer. "I was suppose to meet Li 10 minutes ago!" yelled Sakura as she quickly grabbed her bag and ran down the stairs. When she got out the door, Li had just arrived.
"Hey Li! You got here right on time! How'd you know?" asked Sakura as she got into he car. "Let's just say Meilin's got a mind of her own." Said Li as he pulled out of the driveway. Sakura sweat dropped. "Uh… huh." "You better take good care of my sister!" yelled Tori as he watched them drive away.
When they got to school, it was still early so there weren't much people around. "Hey Sakura!" waved Sayau. "Hey Sam!" smiled Sakura. Li glared at him. Meilin followed Sayau from behind. "Meilin…" Li groaned. "Hey Li!" Meilin smiled evilly at him. Li stared at her. "What do you have on your mind Meilin?" asked Li. "Nothing." Said Meilin closing her eyes.
"Three... Two… One!" said Madison as she walked up to them. "Huh?" Li and Sayau said at the same time. Then they heard a sudden noise like a stampede. "NOT AGAIN!!!" yelled Sayau as he ran for it and Li followed. "WAIT UP CUTIES!!!" yelled the stampede.
Madison and Meilin laughed. Sakura sweat dropped. "Hey Madison! How's it going?" asked Bryan, as he got closer to Madison. "Oh hey Sayau. I'm fine." Madison smiled. Bryan blushed a bit, "Hey you know that dance coming up soon? Well… I was wondering, well… maybe you and I could… you know, go together." Said Bryan scratching the back of his head with one hand.
Madison looked at him sadly as he looked down on the floor. Meilin looked at him and Madison and then shook her head. "Well, Sayau… I'd really love to go with you…" started Madison but Bryan interrupted. "Great! Thanks Madison. I'll pick you up at 8 sharp." Said Bryan quickly as he ran off.
"Oh no." said Madison sadly. Meilin and Sakura went up to her and patted her back gently. "It's O.K. Madison. We'll think of something." Said Sakura. "Eriol would understand, besides…" said Meilin but she didn't know how to continue. Madison started to cry.
Just then, Li and Sayau were running by but when they saw Madison they ran backwards and stopped by her. "What's wrong Madison?" asked Sayau. Meilin went up to him, "Sayau asked her to the dance with him." Whispered Meilin so that Li wouldn't hear. "Sayau…" started Sakura but Meilin interrupted. "Sayau couldn't go to the dance and Madison doesn't have anyone that's a guy to go with her. Not a friend anyways." Said Meilin. Sakura looked at Meilin as Madison nodded.
"By the way, aren't you guys a bit busy?" asked Meilin pointing at the mob of girls after them. Sayau and Li nodded sadly and ran for their lives again.
One week later, and two days away from the dance. (Lots of guys asked Meilin, Madison, and Sakura to go to the dance with them, but they all refused.) It was after school and the sun was just starting to set.
Sayau walks up to Sakura and was about to pop the question but Li ran toward Sakura and tried to stop him.
Hey! Sakura, I was wondering if …" started Sayau. "If you want to go to the dance with me!" yelled Li quickly. Sakura and Sayau stared at him as Li blushed when he realized what he did. Sakura smiles sweetly at him and says "Sure Li." Li blushed even more as he blew a sigh of relief. "You will?" he asked in disbelief. "Of course!" said Sakura excitedly as she hugged him. Li glared at Sayau, waiting for him to glare back. But to his surprise, Meilin walks up to Sayau and kissed him on the cheek, as Sayau put his arm around her waist. "Huh?" asked Li.
"Great work Sayau." Said Meilin with a sweet smile. "It's finally over." Sighed Sayau in happiness. "What's going on?" asked Li glaring at Meilin.
"We all knew you wouldn't ask Sakura at all unless we did something, so everyday we mad Sayau get closer to Sakura to make you jealous. And it worked." Smiled Meilin. "Meilin!" groaned Li. "Hey, I didn't know that." Said Sakura. Madison smiled sadly as she walked away. "Wait up Madison, what is it?" asked Sakura. "Bryan asked me to the dance remember?" sighed Madison.
"O.K. whoever you are, explain." Said Li tapping his foot on the floor. "I'm Sayau. I guess we haven't been properly introduced. The other guy playing as me is Bryan." Smiled Sayau. "You mean you guys were playing around with me?!" yelled Li.
"And you should be grateful. Poor Sayau here had to suffer." Said Meilin making a puppy face. Li looked at Sayau untrustingly. "He was with Sakura and he was suffering?" said Li in disbelief. Sayau and Meilin laughed. "Whatever." Grumbled Li as he got into his car. Meilin waved good-bye to Sayau and got in with him.
"Now let's see. I'm thinking something formal, but not too formal to make to look too high classed. Something that shows a bit of your muscles." Started Meilin. "Meilin!" Li groaned as Meilin smiled evilly. "You've got to be prepared right?"
