"Talking"

(Me Talking)

Meilin walked down the dark streets with her headphones blaring music from each end as her shadow appeared every time she past a streetlight. It acted as if it was too dancing to the music, and playing with the flickering light that hit it.

She did a step back moving the rhyme of one of her favorite songs. The change in her pocket clanged together, as if they were trying to keep up with her movements.

She finally made it towards the train station, where the crowds pushed her as they hurried towards the entrance.

Meilin took her time; she had no one to go in a hurry any ways…

~Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world. She took the midnight train goin' anywhere. Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit. He took the midnight train goin' anywhere. ~
 
She bounced her head softly to the music noticing an intense stare from a young male around her age with dazzling gray eyes, and dark brown hair that fell in front of his face.
 
She smiled softly towards him as she noticed his headphones blaring as loud as hers were. They got annoyed looks from some of the other passengers, but they simply ignored them… this was a public train after all, and they were not breaking any laws.
 
~A singer in a smoky room. The smell of wine and cheap perfume. For a smile they can share the night, it goes on and on and on and on… ~
 
The train came to a stop, and Meilin decided that she would make this her stop, pretending that she meant to come here all along… that was the joy of the train… you never knew where you would end up, but you always knew you would end up far from where you began.
 
She stretched her legs, and got off the train slowly as she looked at her surroundings, "Well, it seems I've ended up on a boulevard. What fun."
 
She pushed her black locks out of her eyes, and travel down the streets once again as she wandered past streetlights with her shadow trying to keep up.
 
She looked around and saw a young girl with long blonde hair listening to a song with her headphones on blaring… just as the boy's were on the train. She smiled to her self.
 
The world is full of surprises.
 
~Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard. Their shadows searching in the night. Streetlight people, living just to find emotion hiding, somewhere in the night~
 
She watched the people pass her by their shadows danced with her own for a few moments before moving on.
 
She looked up to the night sky, and smiled. What could be better than a midnight stroll? 
 
The moon smiled down at her as it greeted each star for a few moments before turning away.
 
She walked back to the train station not even pondering about where she would end up now… it was like an adventure. You were on a quest, sometimes unknown to you, and all you knew is that you had to keep traveling until you reached a place that made you stay.
 
~Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill. Payin' anything to roll the dice, just one more time. Some will win, some will lose. Some were born to sing the blues. Oh, the movie never ends, it goes on and on and on and on. ~
Meilin saw many others with their headphones on trying to block the world around them, and it seemed as if a smile was permanently plastered on her face.
 
She looked out the train window as things whizzed by with the colors swirling together. The song that pounded into her ears was still playing the well-known beat she knew by heart.
 
She absentmindedly started to move to the rhythm, and noticed that the tension was broken, and many forgot about the people around them as they started to dance to the rhythm that blasted into their own ears.
 
It didn't matter if they were all strangers; they were all on the train around midnight for the same reasons… to get away from life. To just ride the train knowing you wouldn't know where your going to end up… to live moment to moment… yes, indeed they were all strangers, but they had more in common than they knew.
 
~Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard. Their shadows searching in the night. Streetlight people, living just to find emotion. Hiding, somewhere in the night. ~
 
As the train stopped Meilin got up in a nonchalant way, and walked past the people dancing to their own tones. She sauntered past the crowd, and welcomed the new faces as she walked down another dark street knowing that she would end up back at the train station sooner or later. None of this mattered to Meilin though… nothing really mattered at the moment except for the music, and the beautiful sky accepting her own happy gaze.
 
She welcomed the dim lights of the streetlights once again as her shadow welcomed her, following as if it was afraid to lose her again.
 
She spun in a circle, floating on the night sky's air.
 
~Don't stop believin' hold on to that feelin' streetlight people. Don't stop believin' hold on streetlight people. 
Don't stop believin' hold on to that feelin' streetlight people. ~
 
She watched the moon start to fade away saying good-bye to the world below it, and the song started to fade away with it.
 
This didn't sadden Meilin at all, for she realized that they were many more nights were she could dance the night away from train to train with the new strangers greeting her…
 
There would be more headphones blaring, and more people like her…
 
No, Meilin wasn't sad one bit.
 
"Meilin-chan, finally you are home. I thought you would never arrive. What are you waiting for? Syaoran, and Sakura have been worried sick."
"There was no reason to be worried, Tomoyo-chan. I just felt like taking a midnight stroll traveling from train to train as the music guided me."
 
Tomoyo smiled, "Don't we all… don't we all."
