I stepped into the darkness. It has been nighttime ever since Meilin busted in the room like that. She was a maniac woman, just changing their wedding date so suddenly. 'Whoa! Tomorrow!' 'What had made her so mad at the Fei house?'

"Well, the only way to find out is to get there." Li exclaimed after the mental mumblings.

A bright stream of light engulfed the sky. Soon afterwards rain started to pour down.

"Ah! Just great!" Li started to run through the streets. "I should have really got someone to drive me." With his clothes all soaked and muddy, he finally reached the gates of the Fei mansion. He ran the doorbell, and a monitor sudden turned on.

"Who goes there?" came a voice.

"Li family." replied Li. 'Can't they skip this?' The rain was heavy, and the wind didn't help much, instead it just blew dirt onto Li.

"Ah yes password confirmed." the voice came again. Li looked up to the monitor, He could see himself. 'Oh god, I look horrible.'

His clothes were stuck to his skin revealing the color of his flesh. His hair was drenched. The white shirt he was wearing changed into a tint of brown. His pants also clung to his legs. 'There is no way the Fei's are going to approve of his appearance. He started to walk towards the door to the mansion. Once he got there, the door opened quickly and Fei stood there in shock.

"Oh god! Look at you!" Fei started to lead Li in. "Bring in some clothes for him to change into." order Fei.

"Sit down please." He directed the exhausted Li to a chair.

"Here master! The clothes." The clothes were handed to Li and Li got up to change.

"Get some hot tea." Fei ordered the poor man again. "Yes sir" replied the man.

*******

With all the jumbles in the Fei house, Shawn decides to go and see what was going on.

*******

Li released a sigh of relief when he finally settled down. He took a seat across from Fei.

"So what brings you here tonight, Li?" questioned Fei. "My fiancée, came earlier today, and something had happened that made her come back quite mad. I came here to ask you why."

"Oh..you see..." Fei was cut off by a voice.

"Grandfather! What's going on?" Shawn boomed through the room. "Who's this?"

Shawn eyed the new guy sitting across from his grandfather. "Umm, Shawn, see well, uhh." Fei couldn't really them him for that if he did, Shawn would go off and attack Li. Shawn was really protective of Sakura.

"Grandfather? This must be Shawn!" Li exclaimed as he came into realization of which the person standing in front of him was. Yes, he was both an old friend and enemy. Before they both parted, they used to be best of friends and confided in each other. Afterwards, they went their separate ways but when they do meet each other again, they would continue their old friendship.

"Li?" Shawn wasn't as happy to see him. Even though they were good friends before, his attitude of him changed after what Sakura told him. Shawn looked at his grandfather and then kept his eyes back on Li. He didn't know what to expect. Part of him wanted to go and rejoice of their reunion, but then the other remember the whole situation with Sakura a few hours before.

To cut the tension between them, Fei started, "How have you been Li?" He purposely avoided the whole Meilin case. That worked, but not the way he wanted it to be.

"Shawn? Aren't you glad to see me?" Li got up and walked to his old buddy. Instead of receiving a warm returning welcome, Shawn just stood there. "What's wrong?" Li went on again. Still Shawn stood there.

'C'mon man, do something. Don't just stand there! He would know something is up.' Shawn looked up to Li and just smiled. Still standing he replied "Hi."

Fei couldn't take it anymore. He wanted things to get resolved. He didn't want anything going down at his house tonight. He needed to prepare for Meilin's wedding. He got up and led both Li and Shawn to the chairs and sat them down. "Talk, don't talk, I don't care. Just try to keep it down. I need to get everything ready for tomorrow." Fei turned around and headed towards the corridor.

"Oh yes, the wedding." Li mocked Fei sarcastically.

"Hey watch it!" Shawn came back.

"Well you are not the one who's being forced into a marriage!"

"That doesn't give you a right to mock my grandfather!"

"But..."

"KEEP IT DOWN!" Fei's voice echoed from the corridor.

"Ha!" Shawn smirked at Li.

"Why you...."

"Shawn!!!" A girl suddenly popped out of the doorway. She turned around and observed the person sitting across from Shawn.

"Li! Hi!" She flopped on top of Shawn. Shawn gave her a puzzled look. "I see that you have

met my boyfriend." "WHAT!" both Li and Shawn screamed at once.

Madison jumped off Shawn. "Yeah! Li, don't you remember me? Its me Madison." Madison then turned to meet Shawn's eyes. She gave him a wink that went unnoticeable to Li. With that he understood what was going on, but he didn't understand why.

"Hey! Look what a surprise!" Everybody turned their heads towards the voice.

"Sakura!" exclaimed Madison's happy voice.

"Sakura?" Li said in a lower voice.

"What are you doing here? questioned Li.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just here with Madison to enjoy our summer with Shawn."
