"I need to what?!" a certain ruby eyed girl shouted as she heard Syaoran and Sakura's story.

"Meilin, you need to do this," Yelan explained to the girl.

"Your telling me to teach someone how to be a fiancée," she said in her careless tone, "…Like I care!!!"

Syaoran gave Meilin a death glare and sweat drops appeared on Meilin's forehead. "Alright! Alright! I'll do it! Just don't look at me like that! When will I go back there?"

"Today," Yelan said in a monotone way.

"Bu-but… I have a date tonight!" Meilin insisted, "Could it be tomorrow?"

Yelan shook her head and said, "Sorry Meilin."

Japan (flower shop)

The flower shop was full of beautiful roses. Different colors, sizes, beauty and a certain girl admires at the flowers with content. "I wish Eriol will give me flowers like these," the girl said.

Without her knowing a boy with navy blue hair and eyes heard what the girl said. "You want roses… I'll give you some," the boy thought and a bouquet of roses appeared on his arms. He approached the girl and said, "Am I late my fair Tomoyo?"

Tomoyo's eyes glittered and said, "What beautiful roses! Where did you have them?"

"It doesn't matter where I got them my beautiful Tomoyo. I, Eriol Hiiragisawa, think that you are more beautiful than these flowers," Eriol said as he gave her the flowers.

Tomoyo blushed and said, "Stop it!"

"Then let's go my fair lady," Eriol said as he offered Tomoyo his hand.

"Where do you want to go?" Tomoyo asked Eriol.

"Anywhere you like," Eriol replied with a smile.

"Then let's just… ouch!"

Tomoyo was going to fell down but Eriol caught her in time. "Tomoyo, are you alright?" Eriol asked.

Tomoyo nodded and said, "I'm so sorry." She handed her hand and the girl with long black hair and Chinese clothes. Tomoyo saw the girl and said, "Meilin…"

"Daidouji…" Meilin replied, "Have you seen Sakura?"

"Yes… she's at her house… why?" Tomoyo replied.

"Yelan send me here. Would you accompany me to her house? I seem to forgot where it is," Meilin said while scratching her forehead.

"Tomoyo, maybe we'll have our date later," Eriol politely said.

"No, you may come with us," Meilin said, "Daidouji, you didn't told me that you already have a boyfriend."

Tomoyo blushed and said, "He's Eriol Hiiragisawa. Eriol, this is Meilin Li."

"Mother, don't you think it's too early… to… be… um… Sakura's… um… fiancée?" Syaoran said while blushing so hard.

Yelan shook her head and said, "No… she already took the test and there's no turning back now."

"When will she be here at Hong Kong?" Syaoran asked while being measured for the ceremonial engagement.

"After Meilin thought her everything," Yelan said.

While walking to get to Sakura's home

"Daidouji, how was Sakura's test?" Meilin asked with a smile.

"She did have a hard time to know who's the real Syaoran," Tomoyo said and let out a giggle.

"That girl is so slow. I tell you that it's not comfortable being in that bubble," Meilin said in a proud way.

Eriol remained silent because he didn't know what to say. "Eriol, you've been quiet," Tomoyo said.

"It's just… I don't know what to say," Eriol said.

"Lighten up!" Meilin exclaimed, "You're acting like an old man!"

Silence occurred between the three and it was broken by Meilin, "So… you're the incarnation of Clow Reed…"

Eriol nodded and they arrived at Sakura's house.

"Sakura! It's me Tomoyo," Tomoyo said as she knocked the door, "Someone's looking for you!"

An auburn haired girl opened the door and said, "Hello Tomoyo… who looking for… Meilin!"

"No need to shout… Kinomoto," Meilin said in a careless way.

"Come in," Sakura said.

"Thank you," the three said in chorus.

They went in the living room and Sakura asked while filling Meilin's cup with tea, "What brings you here?"

Meilin drank the tea and replied, "Yelan send me to teach you how to be a Li fiancée."

"A what?!" Sakura replied while filling Tomoyo's cup with tea.

"Let me explain," Meilin said in a serious way, "You pass the test… right?"

Sakura nodded and stopped filling Eriol's cup. "Then Xiao-Lang will be your airen in the future. In the Li clan…"

"You must attend a ceremonial engagement," Eriol continued.

"How did you know?" Meilin asked.

"Clow Reed's mother was a Li," Eriol answered.

"Well anyway… Yelan asked me to teach you on how you will act, dress and especially," Meilin said, "on how to impress the elders."

"So you're telling me that you will be teaching me how to be his fiancée," Sakura said while rubbing her chin.

"Exactly! Hey… you're not so slow after all!" Meilin said with a huge smile.

"Huh?" Sakura replied.

"Sakura, Meilin… Eriol and I will be going," Tomoyo said as they got up.

"Sure… be careful," Sakura said.

"We will," Eriol replied.
