Maple's Wisdom: And along came Herman the Worm....oh hi! Yup! Stupid person flamed me *cough* AGAIN. If you're even bothering to read this, let's just say...
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE COUPLES DON'T READ MY STORY!!!!!!!!!!
What did I do? Unfortunately, you may have ruined S+S E+T for me entirely. I hope you're happy.
To the non-signed reviewer whose review I deleted...gomen! I was just annoyed that the above reviewer keeps flaming me...so I was annoyed that you said that when I acknowledged that in the last chapter, indicating that Eriol-kun is one of Tomoyo's ancestors, too! Actually, that was quite reasonable, I was just really frustrated with ff.net being down and the STUPID FLAMER!!!
Eheheh...um...anyways, I got the idea for Operation Scarlet Monkey from Madame Flutterby's fanfic, Project Elephant Shoes! It's S+S E+T, but hasn't been updated in *forever*.
Maple's Motto:
Don't like,
Don't flame,
Don't read.
Gee, why do I even bother to post this? It's not like anyone mean enough to flame ever reads these notes...oh well! It's a cool slogan!
Maple's Disclaimer:
Don't own,
Don't sue,
Me broke.
*worships CLAMP*
Flames will be used as an excuse to sing cheesy songs.

So, here we were, playing Truth Or Dare. It had been a very, very confusing day, even for me, and I always know what's going on.
*Flashback*
"Eriol! Want to get some ice-cream?" Tomoyo proposed.
"Uhh, sure. I have some in my freezer.."
"Let's go to the parlour!"
"Why?"
"Cause uhh...I want chocolate ice cream!"
"I have chocolate ice cream."
"Wait uhh..I want rainbow cocktail ice cream with neopolitian ripples!"
"Well, okay Tomoyo..."
*
Tomoyo smiled at me cheerfully.
I smiled back uneasily. Tomoyo was acting very strange...
Then she kissed me. French kissed.
Huh? I was not expecting that. And when I broke away, there was Meiling, my adorable descendant, right beside Syaoran.
Uh-oh.
Why there?
Why then?
Baka, baka Tomoyo.
Don't get me wrong, I cherish Tomoyo dearly...as a friend and nothing more. At one time, it was a little more, but that has been over and done with.
Syaoran spun the bottle. It landed on me.
"Truth or Dare, my dear ancestor?" he asked in a sugary-sweet voice.
I cloaked my uneasyness with an annoying smile. "Dare, my cute descendant."
"I dare you to....lock yourself in the smallest closet in this house with Meiling."
"WHAT?!?" I shrieked. "I mean...no thank you." I took off my sock and spun the bottle.
"Meiling, Truth or Dare?"
"Truth."
"Why did you kiss me?"
Tomoyo and Syaoran stared, then looked at each other, seemingly delighted.
Meiling took a deep, shuddering breath. "Who should I kiss?"
I frowned. The only person I wanted her to kiss was me, but I didn't want to seem ridiculous.
Syaoran stood up abruptly. "I er....ano nature calls!" he said and rushed out of the room.
"I should probably get some refreshments." said Tomoyo, in a calm lie.
The two left me alone with the strikingly beautiful Meiling...
I took of my glasses and blew dust off them, pretending not to notice we were alone.
I dared a quick glance at Meiling. She smiled. Then she leaned over and kissed me.
At that point, Tomoyo and my cute descendant returned. Meiling spun the bottle.
"Truth or Dare, Daidouji?" asked Meiling coldly.
Tomoyo smiled peacefully. "Dare."
"Do not speak or get anyone's attention in any way for one hour."
Tomoyo smiled and spun the bottle. Me.
"Dare."
"Meiling-I must tell my dare. I dare you to...lock yourself in the crawl space with Meiling for thirty minutes."
I took it in thoughtfully. "Come on, Meiling."
*
Why, oh why did I agree to this?
The crawl space is barely enough room for me and an infant, therefore Meiling and I are cheek to cheek. Mine is the colour of the strawberry ice cream in the neopolitian ripple.
I sighed. "How much elapsed time?" I asked Meiling.
"Two minutes."
Great. Just great. I try to sit down...
...But I slip.
And Meiling and I have locked lips.
It was rather nice, actually.
We came out for air and realized what we had done.
"How much time elapsed?" I queried.
"Seven minutes."
I took her face in my hands. "You're very beautiful." I said. She smiled, blushing slightly.
"In England, the rose is believed to be the most beautiful thing in the world, but I believe I've found someone whose beauty easily surpasses the rose." Ugh, I was babbling.
"You are my flower. Aishiteru, Meiling Li."
Her pale, delicate, lovely face smiled, blooming. "Aishiteru, Eriol Hiiragizawa."
And this time, we didn't slip.
*
BEEP BEEP.
"Time's up!" shrieked Tomoyo, opening the door to reveal us, having "slipped".
I stepped out as if she had not seen that and offered my arm to Meiling.
We spent the rest of the night, attached at the hip (except when we were sleeping), me feeling like I was in a dream.
I sensed a Sakura card somewhere, I thought as I drove home the next morning. Sakura Kinomoto. She was the one that joined us all together, right? She did not exist, yet that was her role. Tomoyo had the Erase card...
...Would she really do it?
I suppose so, because it looks like she already has.
*
We were all at the aquarium, the four of us, Tomoyo with her staf out, Meiling, my flower, with a lightweight camcorder around her neck. (I volunteered to hold it, but she said that it wasn't necessary.) I pulled my cute descendant up on the rooftop, even though we wanted to use his effectless ofudas to help.
A beautiful woman was standing in front of the girls. We didn't know what card it was, but Tomoyo's didn't affect her.
Then it hit me. "Tomoyo! It's the LIBRA card!"
Tomoyo looked up at me. "That's great, Eriol. But how do I *catch* it?"
"You have to tell us three true things that we don't already know, and they all have to be important."
Tomoyo nodded.
Taking a deep breath, she begun. "I...erased part of all our memories. Sakura Kinomoto, my best friend, Meiling's "rival", Syaoran's love, and Eriol's half-daughter. I will fix that now." She told Erase to undo the process. And it did. That dense girl who always said "Hoe".
{AN: I'm not sure if you can unerase that, but it's my fic~! Nyah Nyah!}
"Second," Tomoyo paused. "I only kissed Eriol to make Meiling jealous."
I saw Meiling look at me, to confirm this. I mouthed that that was probably a logical solution.
"And third," "Aishiteru, Syaoran."
The Libra card turned into its true form, and Tomoyo sealed it, scrawling her name on the card, then leaving.

Charisma's Critique: It's not too long, I know...but I just *had* to end there. This is either the last chapter (there will be an epilogue) or the second last (there won't be an epilogue). I'll also start a sequel to this story, when I'm done, Card Captor Tomoyo. :). Don't expect me to update my fics as much, now that September's coming. I think I'm going to do an epilogue.
Charisma's Motto:
Read and review make Maple and Charisma happy little rabid Meowths.

Bai~!
