Sing It!

Chapter One: Do

~*~*~

Meilin Li, a seemingly typical fourteen year old with long ebony hair and ruby eyes, had left everything behind for something she always wanted to do, something she always dreamed of and for something she loved to be.

She left the Li Clan, a family that never loved her. She left her name, a thing that everyone shuddered over when they heard it. And above all, she left... Syaoran. He was her once best friend, her once cousin and... her once fiancée.

She had discovered her want, dream and love just when the Li Clan discovered their terror, nightmare and hate. She had discovered that she wanted to be a singer just when the Li Clan discovered her... a girl without magic... no... a Li without magic!

However, her rejection was saved when they decided that Syaoran, the heir to the Li Clan, would wed her in the future. Her family respected her for that... until that faithful day when the great Clow Cards had escaped. Her beloved husband-to-be was taken away by the charms of the Mistress of the Clow Cards.

The Li Clan was disappointed when they heard that Syaoran would no longer wed Meilin, but instead was dating the Clow Mistress. So they did the one thing they thought they'd never regret... they disowned her, tossed her in an orphanage in Canada and left her... all alone at the age of eleven.

By the age of eleven, hormones were reacting... God gave her something that would save her; that would keep her alive and give her love. Her voice was changed, what was once only a rose bud was now a full blossom rose, her voice was beautiful.

At the age of fourteen, a record company discovered her when she was walking along while singing. What luck! By then, she grew independent, she had no mother, no father and no family and that did not matter.

Now, still fourteen, she broke all of North America's selling records, earning her a lot of money and love from her fans. She was currently Meilin Rae, a fourteen-year-old pop star, a very successful girl and a girl with more confidence. She was currently sitting on a plane flying to England, hoping to spread her fame internationally.

"Miss Rae, do you need anything?" her assistant, Amelia, asked.

Meilin pulled off her headphones and asked, "Pardon Amelia? I couldn't hear you, sorry."

"Do you need anything?" she repeated her question while staring at the passing clouds.

"Oh, nothing at all, thank you," Meilin replied with a smile and then got back to her music.

Amelia sighed with a smile while shaking her head. She walked towards Meilin's manager and asked, "Mike, how did you ever find a star that's not like a bitch?"

Mike shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I just saw and heard her and knew that she'd be the next Canadian Star."

Amelia could only smile as she turned her attention to Meilin, who was drumming her fingers on her armrest to the beat in the music. She saw that the Chinese was truly one in a million. First of all, she was very enthusiastic in her work. Secondly, she's great to work with. And finally, she had a great voice that reminds you of angels.

Meilin was deep in thought as she relived her life. Everything had happened so fast! Not only was she happy, but also she got to meet new people and go to new places! England was going to be so much fun!

It was then that she sensed a gust of wind blowing towards them, one that could knock them off course and send everything sprawling everywhere. The plane shook slightly, telling her that she was indeed right about the wind, but it was only the beginning.

She quickly closed her eyes, forcing her energy to overcome Amelia's screams as she clung to a seat. Meilin then hit a nerve in her heart and sung a note in a mere whisper, "Do..."

The wind immediately disappeared, and it was fortunate for them since the wind would have done quite a lot of damage. Meilin opened her eyes to see that Mike was holding onto his seat with Amelia breathing in and out. Her bodyguards were stabling themselves as she retrieved her MP3 player from under the seat.

"Wow, that was some turbulence, eh?" Amelia voiced out.

"Yeah," Meilin agreed, "Good thing the wind died down."

"I totally agree Mei," Mike said with a vigorous nod.

"So... when will we arrive in England?" Meilin asked as she smiled.

"In an hour, I think," Mike told her, "Drink?"

"Yes, please," said Meilin, "I hope we get to go shopping first."

"Sure, Amelia will take you," Mike said as he passed her a Sprite.

"Okay!" exclaimed Amelia. Amelia was a big fan of shopping.

Meilin took the drink gratefully and drank it slowly. An hour was what she needed to calm down. Besides, it wasn't everyday a girl like her got a chance to hit England big, right?
