~~~~~

Tomoyo watched them run out of sight from the window in their room and as soon as they were out of sight, she went to the phone and picked it up.  She got out her notepad and dialled the number written on it.

*Ring-ring…ring-ring*

"Hello?"

"Can I speak to Meilin please?"

~~~~~

Chapter 3

~~~The Next Day~~~

Sakura was out training with a few of her friends from the track team, they'd just left.

Tomoyo called Meilin and she came over quickly.

*Knock-knock*

Tomoyo rushed to the door and opened it.

It was Meilin; she rushed forward and gave Tomoyo a hug.

"I missed you," she said

"I missed you too, come inside" Tomoyo said, leading Meilin into the suite.

She sat down at the table where Tomoyo could see when Sakura came back.

Kero came out of Sakura's room where he'd been sleeping.  He yawned loudly. 

"Hey! What's she doing here?" he yelled

"Calm down Kero, she's here for a reason and you can't tell Sakura, it's a surprise for her" Tomoyo told him

"Hey stuffed animal" Meilin said

"Grrrrr" Kero growled and went back into Sakura's room to play video games.

"So, I understand that the engagement thing between you and Syaoran didn't work out" Tomoyo said

"Nah, it didn't, but I've found someone really great and he's nice to me" Meilin said

"Good," Tomoyo said, "Now I'll tell you my plan"

~~~What's Syaoran up to?~~~

Syaoran was at the park with Ryan.  They had nothing to do.

"Do you wanna go to the Arcade?" Ryan asked

"Why not?" Syaoran said, he never used to like video games but when he got back to Hong Kong, he found that he had a lot of time to spare so he had to do something to fill it up.  Then he met Ryan and he loved video games and he got Syaoran into it.  Syaoran was now one of the best players, he had high scores in every game and so did Ryan so they always were competing for the highest score.

They walked to the Arcade and Syaoran headed towards his favourite game, a sword fighting one.  He'd got the highest score but it was beaten just recently so he was working on getting the first place spot back.

He started playing but Ryan came over to him and looked over his shoulder and it put him off and he lost

"Ryan! I told you not to do that!" Syaoran yelled at him

"Oops, sorry" he apologised

"Let's go" Syaoran said, walking towards the door

"Hey, wait for me, you walk too fast!" Ryan yelled as he ran to catch up with Syaoran.

~~~Back to Tomoyo's plan~~~

"Does Syaoran still like Sakura?" Tomoyo asked

"As far as I know he still does but you know Syaoran, he never shares his feelings with anyone, he wouldn't even admit to me that he likes her" Meilin said

"Well, we all know he likes her so this is what I'm planning to do, the Athletics Championships are being held at your school aren't they?"

"Yeah, and Syaoran's on the 100m sprint team and the Soccer team"

"Sakura's on the 100m sprint team but they should be going at different times so it shouldn't be a problem but we'll just have to keep them away from each other, don't let Syaoran go near our school's group and try to make sure that he doesn't see Sakura or me."

"And make sure that Sakura doesn't see us."

Tomoyo spotted Sakura and her friends jogging down the road.

"Quick, she's coming, I'll ring you if anything changes, but otherwise, meet at the park, by the playground at 6:00 sharp, don't be late"

She saw Meilin to the door.

Meilin pressed the lift button and waved to Tomoyo.  The lift doors opened and she got in, the doors closed and just then, Sakura opened the door from the stairs.

"Oh, hi Tomoyo, what are you doing?" she said, looking really tired and sweaty

"I was waiting for you, how was your run?" Tomoyo said quickly

"Oh, it was fine, I'm going to have a shower, okay?"

"Yeah, sure go ahead, I'll do my crossword"

Sakura went in to the bathroom and Tomoyo got out her crossword and started doing it, but her thoughts kept on distracting her.

*Am I doing the right thing, interfering in Sakura and Syaoran's relationship, I'm sure if we let them, they'd find each other if they wanted, I know she still likes him but will she be mad at him, I'd understand if she is, she hasn't seen or heard from him for four years, but true love knows no distance, they'll get over it*

~~~What's Meilin going to do with Syaoran?~~~

"Syaorannnn, oh Syaoran, where are you" Meilin called up the hallway

Syaoran was in his room, he groaned when he heard her voice, *what does she want now?*

He just wanted some peace and quiet, but he better answer her

"What do you want Meilin?" he said kind of grumpily

"I want to take you out shopping" she said

"What for?"

"You know, the usual, and we haven't spent much time together recently so I want to go shopping with you"

"Can't we go to the Arcade or something like that?"

"No, shopping" she said firmly and grabbed his hand

"Ok, OK, I'm coming, just let me get my shoes and my money"

He grabbed his shoes and put them on as he hopped down the hallway, he grabbed his jacket from the front door and followed Meilin outside, their chauffeur was waiting for them already and they got in the car.

"Can you take us to the mall please" Meilin asked

"Certainly madam, right away" the chauffeur said as he drove off

~~~What's Tomoyo going to do with Sakura?~~~

Sakura emerged from the bathroom with a light blue long sleeved top with a picture of a star with wings outlined in sparkly silver and short cargo pants.  She had tied her long hair up in a plait because it was wet. 

"Grab your things, we're going out" Tomoyo told her

"But…" Sakura protested

"We're going to the mall," Tomoyo said forcefully

Sakura grabbed her bag and Tomoyo grabbed hers.  They went downstairs leaving Kero in the suite so he wouldn't be annoying, and walked outside and Tomoyo walked up to the taxi she had rung up for while Sakura was in the shower.

She told the driver the destination and he drove off.

They drove down the road and round a few corners and then he turned into the car park and dropped them off by the door.

"Thank you, how much will that be?" Tomoyo asked

"$5.70" the driver said

Tomoyo gave him the money and they girls climbed out of the taxi.

The driver tipped his cap at them and drove off.

They walked into the mall

"Wow, it's so big! You could get lost in here" Sakura exclaimed

"Come on" Tomoyo said, leading Sakura to a clothes shop where they went in and looked around.

Tomoyo chose a 3/4 skirt, a tight yellow tank top with a red heart in the middle, flared jeans and a purple top with a picture of an angel in the middle.

Sakura chose flared jeans the same as Tomoyo, a long sleeved white t-shirt, long cargo pants and a pink tank top with a red heart same as Tomoyo's.

They went and tried the clothes on in the changing rooms.  They really liked the clothes and they went to the counter to buy them.  Tomoyo paid for Sakura's things as well.

"Hey! I told you to stop paying for stuff for me Tomoyo!" Sakura protested

"Aren't I allowed to treat my best friend once in a while?" she asked, pouting a little "besides, I have my trusty credit card" and waved the card around in front of Sakura's face.

She gave her credit card to the saleswoman and she did the transaction and put their clothes in two bags for the girls.

"Have a good day," she said to them

They walked out of the store and went to a shoe store Tomoyo chose a pair of strappy sandals to go with her skirt and some sneakers to go with her jeans.

Sakura chose some sneakers to go with her jeans, the opposite colours to what Tomoyo chose and some new trainers for tomorrow when she had to do her run at the Championships.

It was the same story as in the last shop, Tomoyo handing over her trusty credit card and paying for her and Sakura's things,

"Mou, Tomoyo, stop it!" Sakura protested

Tomoyo ignored her protests and told the saleswoman to complete the transaction.

They went to a chemist and Tomoyo looked around for some makeup for Sakura

"It's time you started wearing makeup," she told her

Tomoyo chose some waterproof mascara, green eye shadow to highlight her green eyes, blusher, foundation and lipstick and a lip-gloss.

Tomoyo also brought her a cute new bag and a wallet.

After this Sakura said "Tomoyo stop! You're getting me too much stuff, I'm gonna turn into a spoilt gaki soon if you're not careful!"

"Hehehe" Tomoyo laughed

"Let's go have dinner," Sakura suggested, dragging Tomoyo towards the food court.

They ordered hamburgers and fries and a drink.

"Here, I'll pay" Sakura offered

This time Tomoyo started to protest "demo…"

"I said I'll pay, you've done too much for me already"

Tomoyo went to find a seat and in a few minutes, Sakura come over with the food.

They started eating. 

"Mmm, this is good" Tomoyo said

"Yeah" Sakura replied between mouthfuls of fries, hamburger and drink.

~~~How did Meilin get on with Syaoran at the mall?~~~

"Come on Syaoran!" Meilin yelled as she dragged Syaoran to another shop

"Can't we just go home now?" he protested

"Not until I get you some nice clothes," she said

"What's wrong with my clothes now?" he asked

"Nothing, you just need some new ones" she said, looking a blue t-shirt on the rack at the store "try this one on" she said, shoving it into his hands.

Syaoran sighed and grabbed the t-shirt.  They'd already been to lots of shops, he'd already got a green t-shirt, his favourite colour, and some new jeans and a jumper, and what's more, Meilin had paid for them all! Very unusual.

He decided to try the guilt thing "But you've already got me so much, you've been so good to me, let's go have some dinner"

"Okay then Syaoran, we'll come back later," Meilin said cheerfully

They went to the fast food place and ordered hamburgers, fries and drink.

Syaoran paid for them and Meilin went to find a seat for them.

Syaoran brought the tray over to the table and they sat down and ate the meal.
