~I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura~

Shaoran x Tomoyo

Thanks soo much to Serenity Blossom, who's reviewed every chapter! (You've inspired me to continue the fic ^^)

~~~~~Chapter 7: Bird of Paradise~~~~~

Meilin's POV

...I can't believe it!

First Shaoran calls and says he's desperately in love with Tomoyo... *Shaoran*, who was supposed to be head-over-heels in love with Kinomoto the past ten years! Then, Tomoyo calls, only to tell me she's fallen for Shaoran! So cute!

And, hey, who knew Shaoran could be so gallant? Saving damsels in distress and all that! Well, of course, *I* always knew how great he was. But, seriously! Wow! And, letting that 'gorgeous' comment slip? Definitely not like him. He's got it bad.

This is gonna be so much fun!

I wish he'd stop with all that damn 'family' stuff though, I mean, *really*! Of course the family's important, and he should consider it when he makes decisions... but if he spends his whole damn life going on about the family, he's gonna regret it when he's old, and dying, and going 'damn, I should have asked Tomoyo out instead of sulking the past 60 years'. Well, maybe that's a little extreme. But anyway.

Not that she's not much better! She's so freaking afraid to hurt anyone that she's hurting herself! Damnit, does that girl care about herself at *all*!? That's just not healthy! Now that I think of it, has Tomoyo ever even had a boyfriend? Doesn't she think she deserves to be happy for once in her life?!

Guess I'd better plan a trip to Tomoeda, and *soon*! I wanna see the budding romance first hand! I wonder what Kinomoto thinks about this? Wait, does she even know?! Shaoran better have told her! I mean, she's right there, and great to ask advice from! After all, she *is* Tomoyo's best friend, isn't she?! She can tell him exactly what to do to win her heart! And then everything will end happily ever after!

Damn, I wish my love life looked this promising! Maybe, after the two love-birds get together, Kinomoto and I can hang out and pick up guys or something. Then it'll *really* be a happily ever after. It's been too damn long since I've had a boyfriend... but enough about me!

I wonder how Tomoyo will react when Shaoran confesses? I wonder how he'll react when he finds out that she loves him, too?! I definitely have to get to Tomoeda, and *fast*! Can't miss this!

Wait. Shaoran didn't say he *would* tell her, did he. No... he said he'd *think* about it! Didn't he? Damn it, Shaoran! Why do you have to be so freaking weak when it comes to love? How long did it take him to confess to Sakura?! He'd better not decide against saying anything... he'd better not... ugh! If he doesn't say anything, they're going to be like this forever! Pining for each other, and completely blind to the reality of it all! What a pair of idiots! Damn it! I know him! He isn't going to say anything, is he!?

Shaoran had *so* better confess like I told him to! He'd better. Or else.

Or else the two of them won't ever know how the other one feels...

I'm not letting that happen! They both swore me to secrecy but... if he doesn't tell her by the time I go to visit them... I'll... I'll...

I'll think of *something*!

~~~~~Bird of paradise (yeah, it's a flower) means 'strange and wonderful things are going to happen'.

sorry this chapter was so short and... well, pointless. I'll make the next one better! Promise!
