Author's Note:
I must be doing something right, you're reading chapter five. I'm Xiao and I'll be the
author, obviously. Another Syaoran + Meiling romance scene, anyone who loves the Sakura +
Syaoran thing I suggest you don't read, because this is anti S+S. The duet monologue doesn't
belong to me, obviously, so don't sue. I also don't own CardCaptor Sakura, blah blah. Please
R+R.
------------------------------------
"For our next three weeks of drama, we will be putting on a two person act. You will be
aloud to choose your own partner, and you may choose your own script from anything at all, it
may be humor, dramatic, serious, and even romance. You may also make up your own script but
the your act will need to be atleast four minutes in length, and it should be under eight minutes."
Quickly the hand of a girl sitting in the front shot up in an instant. "May we work alone?"
The teacher shook his head in response to her question, and slowly her hand went back to resting
on the desk. The teacher then continued his talk on acting.
Meiling pulled out a small sheet from her notebook and wrote in neat handwriting a letter,
addressed to Syaoran, then quietly folded it and passed it to him. They were lucky that they sat in
the back of the classroom because if they were sitting in the front, they would of instantly got
caught passing notes and would of been forced to serve an hour in detention after school.
Syaoran opened the note, which read, 'You will be my partner for this, right?' Syaoran
looked at her and waited for her to look at him, and when she did, he nodded and went back to
listening to the teacher's talk.
Meiling, on the other hand, set her head down on her desk and set her left hand infront of
her, examing the ring which Syaoran had given her as an engagement ring. She loved it, not
because it was so expensive and beautiful, but because Syaoran had given it to her and asked her
to marry him, which she was more then happy to do. Although, she did love it even more because
it was so beautiful. Silver. Sterling silver, with a small ruby heart in the center, it wasn't sticking
out, it was deep inside the silver, so much that if you ran your fingers over it, you wouldn't even
know that ruby, in the shape of a heart, was even there. It was beautiful, and it seemed to fit her
personality very well. She just loved it.
And she loved him, too.
------------------------------------
"I'm still dying to know what Syaoran's plan was," Tomoyo said as she sat on one of the
swings at the park, in between Sakura and Eriol. Sakura smiled and looked at her, it seemed like
she was thinking the exact same thing.
"Well, I'm still completely clueless on what you two are talking about. What about
Syaoran, and what plan?" Unlike himself, Eriol seemed to be completely lost about Tomoyo and
Sakura's chatter of Syaoran's so called 'plan'.
"Syaoran," Sakura looked at Eriol. "said that he had a plan to tell Meiling that he loved
her! It's kawaii, I know," Sakura's smile seemed to grow slightly.
"My kawaii decendant? He told Meiling he loved her?" Eriol smiled one of his 'smiles'.
Sakura and Tomoyo nodded. "Well, finally he decides to do that. I'm glad." Sakura seemed to be
confused when Eriol said 'finally he decided to do that,' but she smiled anyway.
"I feel bad that we didn't call Meiling on her birthday, I hope she wasn't upset about it."
"Well, we should call her tonight then and apologize and wish her a happy belated
birthday. Besides, I think it was better that we didn't call because it let her focus all of her
attention on Syaoran!" Sakura exclaimed, giggling a bit.
"Ohohoho!" Tomoyo giggled as well. "You're so right, Sakura!" Tomoyo nodded in
agreement.
"Well, I think we should call now, it'd be a nice thing for me to talk to them both, I'd like
to see when they were coming down to visit, so I could come back here as well to say 'hi' to
them both!" Eriol grinned, and his eye's shined with happiness from behind his spectacles.
"Well, okay," Sakura said, looking down at her watch. It wasn't that late and she was
sixteen, so she could afford being out a little later.
"Great!" Tomoyo and Eriol exclaimed in unison.
------------------------------------
"So, what kind of act are we going to do for the class?" Meiling asked. She had been
sitting on the corner of Syaoran's bed, her legs folded to where she sat Indian style, and she had a
few books piled around her, currently flipping through one.
"I don't know," Syaoran said, sighing.
"I think that we should make our own, on our own lives." Meiling suggested, still looking
through the books that were piled around her. Syaoran stayed silent as if he didn't hear a word
that Meiling said. She ignored him and continued onto a different idea.
"Too bad we can't sing, though, Xiao," she said sighing. "singing would be so much
easier then acting." Syaoran nodded very softly. "Maybe we should ask the teacher if we could do
sort of an act and a singing duet in one."
"Maybe he'll let us," Syaoran replied softly, and Meiling knew what that ment, he didn't
really want to sing and act.
"A romance, Xiao, I want to do a romance act!" Meiling smiled and turned, to look at
him. Syaoran blushed deeply.
"A-a-a-a romance, Mei?" Syaoran asked quietly, looking down at his book, trying to hide
his face, which was shaded into a light red. Meiling nodded once again, and turned and
practically dived onto him, laying her head in his lap, so she could look straight up at him. He
blushed darker then red.
"A romance, Xiao," she sighed and slowly closed her eyes while her own cheeks flushed
slightly pink. "I think that we should do something like sleeping beauty, you would be the prince
and I would be the princess who is sleeping and then slowly the prince leans in a gently presses
his lips against hers and her eyes slowly open.
Or like beauty and the beast," she paused. "I would be the young girl and you would be..
well, no not a beast, maybe we should do something else.
Maybe we could look in Shakespeare and do Romeo and Juliet!" Syaoran was amazed by
how much Meiling knew about all this romance scenes, but then again, she was a girl after all.
"We could do the scene, the one where Romeo is speaking to Juliet from the ground and Juliet
enters above.
Or maybe, the tragic scene where Romeo is dead, laying there with a cup in his hand!
Then Juliet awakes," Meiling seemed like she could go on and on and on and on forever until the
end of time with all the romance scene's she knew. "and she finds her Romeo, dead, laying
there!" She sat up, which seemed to be both to Syaoran's relief and displeasure, he wasn't
completely sure if he liked her where was or if he didn't. "Juliet kisses him, then takes his dagger
and holds it to her chest," she acted all of this out. She pretended that she was holding a dagger in
her hands, and almost about to stab herself right through the heart. "and she says 'oh happy
dagger! This is thy seath, there rust, and let me die!" Meiling then forced the pretend dagger into
her chest and began to fall, but what she didn't expect, was that when she was falling, she feel off
the bed instead of onto Syaoran's lap. She hit with a loud thud, leaving Syaoran wanting to laugh.
The phone then rang, and Syaoran stepped over Meiling's body and picked up the phone.
"Moshi moshi, Syaoran-- I mean, Li Xiaolang speaking." He looked down at Meiling who was
whining, and slowly sitting up.
"Moshi moshi, Syaoran, may I talk to Meiling?" The girl seemed to be holding back
giggles. Syaoran shrugged and handed the phone to Meiling, who quickly recovered from her
fall.
"Moshi moshi, Li Meiling here."
"Meiling!"
"Well, hey," she wanted to say the persons name in return but then realized she didn't
have a clue who she was talking to. "wait, who exactly am I talking to?"
"Sakura--"
"Tomoyo--"
"Eriol." Meiling looked at Syaoran, when she had heard the names of the two girls and
one boy who had called her.
"Oh, hey," Meiling was so tempted to ask 'why did you call me'? To tell the truth, she
was having so much fun when she was putting on her little act of how she could be Juliet, in the
play 'Romeo and Juliet'.
"We wanted to wish you a happy belated birthday, Meiling! I'm sorry we didn't call on
the twenty fifth, I hope you'll forgive us." Tomoyo wondered if she should tell Meiling, that all
along, she was aware of Syaoran's 'plan', just not exactly how his plan would work and what he
would do in it.
"Thanks." She replied simply.
"You're welcome." Eriol said cheerfully, then changing the subject. "I was wondering if
you and Syaoran would be coming back down to Tomoeda to visit us anytime soon? I'd like to
see you guys again!"
Meiling looked at Syaoran, "I'll ask him, one second." She pressed the hold button so she
could talk to Syaoran in private.
"Kinomoto, Tomoyo," she paused as Syaoran looked at her. "and Eriol want us to come
and visit as soon as we can, and they want to know a date so Hiiragizawa would be able to come
down to see us sometime soon. Syaoran was silent for a long time, and he looked at the door.
"I'll go ask." He didn't wait for a reply, he just got up and left the room. Meiling then
pressed hold again so she would be able to talk to the three once again.
"Syaoran is going to go ask," she said, she could feel herself smiling. Since Syaoran was
now with here, Sakura just didn't seem to be so much of a threat. "I hope we can come down and
visit you all very soon!" Meiling could hear the three slightly chuckling.
Syaoran came back into the bedroom and sat down next to Meiling, whispering slightly
into her ear. "She doesn't know a certain date yet, but she said we could be able to come down
for a week sometime soon. She also said that once she got a date that we should write them a
letter or give them a call." It seemed that Tomoyo, Sakura, and Eriol heard Syaoran's whisper to
Meiling because they had seemed to be extremely happy, shouting 'yay' in unison. Meiling and
Syaoran smiled slightly, atleast they knew that they still had friends back in their old home of
Tomoeda.
"Well, sorry everyone, but Mei has to leave now, because she has to find something for a
school assignment! Nice talking to you, we'll keep you all posted! Call back as soon as you can,
and here is Syaoran!" Meiling said, handing the phone to Syaoran.
"H-hello." He said very simply, and was replied with tons of hello's, hey's, and hi's back
in response. It was such a nice, warm, welcoming. Kind of weird in a way, though.
"So," Sakura said innocently. Syaoran seemed to be dreading this conversation, he knew
what was coming at him. What was his plan for Meiling anyway? "What was your 'plan,
Syaoran?" Syaoran felt himself blush, once again. He didn't want to tell her now, Meiling was
sitting atleast five feet from him! It would have to wait, if he was ever going to tell them, it was
going to have to wait. Not now, no way was he telling them now.
"Um, sorry, I," he began to stutter again," I-- I-- got to go now! Sorry, I'll write! Bye!" He
hung up without any response from the trio of teenagers. He sighed in relief, and looked at
Meiling, who was now starring at him with deep concern.
"You know," she paused and looked back down at her book. "If I can stand talking to
Kinomoto and everyone else for atleast five minutes, why can't you?" Syaoran forced a fake
laugh.
"Well, you know, Mei, I," he blushed to an even darker shaded red, if it was at all
possible. "I think I'm going to go cook something!" He rushed out of the bedroom, leaving
Meiling starring at the empty room.
"I guess I'll find our act myself," Meiling mumbled.
------------------------------------
"Xiao! I found something! Let's do something from Romeo and Juliet," Meiling smiled,
waving the book of Romeo and Juliet infront of him. He blushed deeply, while Meiling pulled
the book to her and began to read aloud, but paused again.
"I cut out a lot of the mindless babble which Romeo says." she pointed at him. "You'll be
Romeo, by the way, and I'll be Juliet." She then looked at her book once again and began to
speak in a more boy-ish tone. "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east,
and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with
grief, that thou her maid art far more fair than she." She couldn't help but giggled very slightly.
"Isn't this the cutest thing you have ever heard?!" she squealed, then continued. "Well,
then there is a bunch of lines and then Juliet is like: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou
Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll
no longer be a Capulet." She smiled.
"All right, Princess Capulet, time for bed," Syaoran sighed, "Prince Montague has to
sleep now, good night." He smiled, got up and walked off to his bedroom's door. He then caught
her attention and mouthed 'I love you.'
"But Xiao! It's only seven thirty!" Meiling moaned and plopped herself down onto the
couch and began to read her Romeo and Juliet book once again. She sighed and whispered, 'I
love you, too' back to him.
I must be doing something right, you're reading chapter five. I'm Xiao and I'll be the
author, obviously. Another Syaoran + Meiling romance scene, anyone who loves the Sakura +
Syaoran thing I suggest you don't read, because this is anti S+S. The duet monologue doesn't
belong to me, obviously, so don't sue. I also don't own CardCaptor Sakura, blah blah. Please

Quickly the hand of a girl sitting in the front shot up in an instant. "May we work alone?"
