The rest of the day went great. Tomoyo was a little disappointed at the fact that Tomo's mother was going to make Tomo and Meiling's costumes, but she cheered up when they promised her she could make their next costumes.
While walking to their apartment after school Syaoran noticed Meiling was acting different. Much like a child would when he or she would receive a toy that they have always wanted. She skipped most of the way there and even sang a small tune.
As they entered the apartment, Wei greeted them.
"Hello Master Li, Ms. Meiling. Did you both a good day?" he asked.
"Yup." Meiling answered dreamily.
"That's good, I'll fix you two your snacks then." Wei said.
"No need to Wei. I'll be leaving soon." Meiling said as she walked to her room to change out of her school uniform.
"Would you like a snack Master Li?"
"Sure." Syaoran answered. Wei went to the kitchen and started making a snack. Syaoran, exhausted, went to sit on the couch. "When are you coming home?" he asked Meiling.
"Don't worry Syaoran, I promise I'll be back by 8. O.k.?" she said as she walked out of her room. She had on a Chinese style red T-shirt and a red skirt complete with a pair of Chinese shoes.
Syaoran smiled. He could always trust Meiling. "O.k." he said as he watched her pace around the room and look out the window for a few seconds before she went back to pacing. "Just be patient. He'll be here."
"I know, but I can't!" Meiling said after looking out the window again and starting her pacing. She stopped at the window again. "Syaoran..."
"Huh?" he looked up at her.
"Nothing." she looked out the window. "HE'S HERE!" she said while walking quickly to the door. "Bye Syaoran! Bye Wei!" she quickly said while walking out the door.
"It seems Ms. Meiling has a crush on somebody, right Master Li?" Wei said handing him his snack.
"Yes, it does seem that..." Syaoran said.

"Hello, it's nice to finally meet you." A woman said in the driver's seat as Meiling came into the car. She had long flowing, dark blue hair and the same dark eyes as Tomo's. She was pale, but not the chalk or sickly pale, but an indescribable pale. She was more beautiful than her aunt. But like her aunt, she too, looked very young for her age.
"Hello, you must be Tomo's mom." she said astonished.
"Yes I am."
"Arigato Yang-Chan for taking me to your house."
"It's no problem."
"Were you waiting for me long?" Tomo whispered in Meiling's ear.
"No." she whispered back, smiling. As she looked into his eyes, though, she couldn't help but start to fall in love with him. It's as if the more I stare into his eyes, the more and more my love grows for him. I didn't even really like him when I first saw him at the airport, and when I saw him at lunch today, is when I started to like him for who he was... she thought.
Our plan is working perfectly... Yang-Chan thought as she saw Meiling's eyes go misty through the rear-view mirror. Just wait Meiling, you'll soon be one of us...and nothing will stop us...
