Anyways, thank you for all your support and I'm so sorry that I haven't updated for this fanfic in so long. Okay some of you are wondering, "Wait didn't I see this fanfic up here before?" And the answer is yes, you did. What happened was that my story got deleted around chapter 10 or something and so I had to create the story on again. So, yeah I hope that clears up all your questions. Darn, I was so angry when all my reviews for this fanfic got erased! All 117 of them! Darn, I have to start over again, haha!

If you guys didn't notice, I've been updating my other fanfic, "Why I'm Me Is Cause Of You" like made crazy these days. I guess I really favor that fanfic more, but I know I shouldn't. xD Oh well, let's get on to business! Here's chapter 12, enjoy everyone!
"Tomoyo!" Meilin exclaimed, "You shouldn't have!"
She ran to Tomoyo and engulfed her in a big hug, "I love it! Thank you so much!"
Tomoyo had sewed Meilin a purple gown as a birthday present.
"No need to thank me." Tomoyo smiled, "I'm just so glad that you're here."
Meilin smiled, she had been living with Tomoyo for about a month and a half already and she never felt better. She'd forgotten all about Syaoran and all her troubles in the past, she was finally happy living with Tomoyo, her best friend.
"I'm so glad that Sakura's brother is okay." Meilin said sitting down next to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo nodded, "But, what about her father."
Meilin cupped her hand into Tomoyo's, "Let's not think about that for now."
Tomoyo nodded again, "Yes, today should be a happy day. It is your birthday after all."
Meilin stood up, determined, "That's right! Let's go grab Sakura and party!"
Tomoyo laughed, "That's a good idea, but I think it's a little too late for that."
Meilin glanced at the clock and then back again, "Aw, your right. It's way too late to hit the mall."
Tomoyo chuckled, "It's okay we'll go tomorrow, right in the morning promise."
Meilin smiled and hugged her friend, how she adored Tomoyo and the way she always thought of the positives, making sure she never worried about the "what ifs". And as they embraced, Meilin had an urge to smell the scent in her hair, to feel the softness of her skin, to press her body tightly against hers, but she stopped before she did anything.
Scarred and confused Meilin bid Tomoyo goodnight and headed for her own room.
"What was I thinking?" Meilin asked as she laid her bed, "This is way too weird."
In the next morning Tomoyo and Meilin had gotten up extra early and ate breakfast together after they each took a bath, then they were headed for Sakura's house. They had called before hand, so everything was set.
When they arrived in Sakura's driveway the driver beeped the horn and Sakura raced through the doors and jumped into the limousine.
"Hey guys!" She jumped into both of their arms, "I missed you!"
Meilin laughed, "We missed you too."
Tomoyo smiled and instructed the driver, "To the mall downtown please."
When they got to the mall they shopped until they dropped! They went into over ten stores and after each one they all had dozens of bags, then they got hungry and Sakura suggested they go eat some ice cream at the parlor in the square.
"Wow, this is so good!" Meilin squealed, "Japanese ice cream is so much better than Chinese."
Sakura smiled, "I know, this is my favorite ice cream shop."
Tomoyo took big spoonfuls and then swallowed hard, "So, anything new happen with you Sakura?"
"That's right!" Meilin agreed, "I haven't talked to you in ages! So tell me what's up!"
Sakura laughed, "Well, my brother just got home the other day."
"Oh, we know that." Meilin smiled, "We mean your love life."
Sakura blushed, "My love life?"
Tomoyo nodded and smiled, "Tell us."
Sakura took a deep breath, "Well, I saw someone I really liked yesterday."
Tomoyo and Meilin squealed together, "Really?"
Sakura shyly nodded.
Meilin rested her chin on her hands, "Tell me who he is."
Sakura blushed even harder and shook her head violently, "No way."
Tomoyo blinked, "Why not? Come on Sakura! Tell us!"
Sakura twiddled with her fingers for a moment, "Promise you won't tell."
Meilin raised her right hand, "Promise, cross my heart and hope to die."
"Or I'll stick a thousand needles up her eye." Tomoyo teased.
Sakura laughed, "Okay. Well," She continued to blush, "It's Syaoran."
Tomoyo and Meilin almost jumped out of their seats, "WHAT?"
A/N: Well, guess the secret's out. Wait until you see Tomoyo and Meilin's reactions in the next chapter, it might lead to the cold hard secret Tomoyo's been keeping locked away. Don't miss it! Send your reviews! Byex3
