Sing It!
Chapter Three: Mi
~*~*~
"We'll set up the stage here- hey, watch it with the lights! Then we'll put the band on the stage there- yo, kid! The cameras are supposed to be in the trailer! And the fans will be, of course, in front of the stage!" Mike explained to Meilin while shouting at his employees.
Meilin sweat dropped and said, "Yeah... okay Mike. Whatever you say."
Amelia suddenly came up from behind and saved Meilin, "What Meilin is trying to say, Mike, is to leave her alone until she gets her clothes!"
"Okay, okay! Chill!" Mike said, waving his hands around and then checked his watch, "You have to go now Mei or you'll miss your meeting with your stylist."
"Sure thing, boss!" Meilin exclaimed cheerfully and quickly climbed into the limo.
"Remember, eye-catching, flashy and lots and lost of sparkles," Mike reminded Meilin.
Amelia rolled her eyes and replied, "Don't worry. We won't forget about lots and lots of sparkles." Then she, too, went into the limo.
The driver drove them around for about thirty minutes until they stopped in front of a building. The two girls got out of the limo and were escorted inside. When Meilin got into the building she restrained herself from sighing, there were rows upon rows of clothes!
"Ah, Miss Rae!" came a female voice, "Welcome, welcome!"
Meilin turned her attention to the lady and almost choked to death be the sight of a familiar boy behind her. She softly said, "You're... you're..."
"Kasey Garden, at your service," the lady introduced and then turned to the man beside her, "And this is my new assistant Touya."
Meilin swallowed a scream and plastered her legs onto the ground, that man was Sakura's big brother!!! She looked up at him and realized that he recognized her too!
"Come, come, Miss Rae. This way!" and then Kasey led a very stiff Meilin into her office where many different clothes were piled.
"We're looking for something that will stand out at night," Amelia talked for her.
"Yes, well, perhaps red or yellow would do. It would go nicely with Meilin's hair," Kasey suggested as she took two outfits out.
"Maybe," Meilin whispered, afraid to meet anyone's eyes.
"Here, try this out," Kasey said.
Meilin nodded and went into the dressing room. When she came out she wore a sparkling red tang top that reached just above her navel and hip huggers to match. A little scarf made of the same material and colour was tied around her neck and she wore red boots to finish the outfit off.
"If we braid her hair with red strings, it would look a lot nicer," Amelia said.
"Well it does have lots and lots of sparkles," Meilin giggled.
Touya watched Meilin, remembering her as one of Sakura's friends. Plus, Sakura did mention the other day that one of her old friends was now a superstar. Burying a sigh, he then gave Kasey a yellow outfit she had requested.
Finally, after an hour of changing outfits, they decided to take a break. Meilin told them that she was going for walk around the building, not knowing that Touya was following her.
"So, Meilin, eh?" he asked.
She gasped and turned around to see him. Calming down again, she replied, "yeah."
"Weren't you the one who was obsessed over that Chinese kid?" Touya asked.
Meilin winced at the memory of herself clinging to Syaoran's arm. She had to admit, she was quite foolish before, "Maybe."
He nodded and asked, "Where you've been?"
"To different places," she said casually.
"Apparently you went to the right place because you're now a celebrity," he said.
"Yeah," Meilin said, not knowing what to do.
"Sakura's looking for you," he said bluntly.
"So?" she said.
"Aren't you going to look for her too?" Touya asked, confused.
"She was my past, this is my present and in my future there will not be anyone from my past," she said and then walked away, leaving Touya wondering about her.
She walked around, thinking to herself. Maybe being a singer wasn't the best decision in her life, besides, everyone knew her... everyone including the people of her past. Just then she sensed something was wrong when she felt the spirit of fire slowly eating away at the building. She quickly took off towards the stairway to see it being consumed with flames!
"Meilin!" she heard Touya's desperate call from below.
"Touya!" she screamed. For some unknown reason she felt alone and afraid. The fire reminded her of her encounter with Syaoran the other day and then the past memory of the burning building.
She was a mere child before, sitting on the floor while playing with her dolls. Then all of a sudden fire appeared in her room, burning the walls! She held onto her dolly as she screamed for help. The heat was insufferable, blinding her of her vision. She cried out over and over again until her throat became hoarse, but no one came...
Touya held onto Meilin's trembling form, knocking Meilin back into the present. She was taking deep breaths as she cried into his chest. Her fingers held tightly onto his shirt for her dear life while she spoke, "I'm afraid."
It was then that Touya realized that the once martial artist was now a full-grown woman that needed help. He soothingly whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Then Meilin realized what was happening. Why should she fear the fire when she had the ability to destroy it? Calming down she drew up her voice and sang softly, "Mi..."
Touya looked down at her head as he felt her energy reach out to the fire. He heard her cough and sang again, this time more demanding, "Mi."
He watched in amazement as droplets of water began to make contact with the fire. When the fire became small again, he came to his senses and took her hand. They quickly ran down the stairs and out into the open air.
Meilin breathed in the fresh air and then saw Mike running towards then asking, "Mei, are you okay? Are you hurt? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," she answered meekly.
Mike nodded, satisfied. Then he looked at Touya, "You! You saved her! Thank you so very much! Here..." He began to rummage through his pockets for something and drew out five concert tickets. Then he shoved them into Touya's hands, saying, "Take these. Hope you'll come."
Meilin was about to object but found herself being dragged into the limo by Amelia before the fans came running in. In the limo, she let out a sigh of relief; tired after everything that had happened.
Touya stared down at the tickets in his hands and let a smile grace his lips. There was no doubt about it; he was going to see Meilin's concert in a week! Of course, his stupid little sister would have to tag along too...
