Syaoran Li and Sakura Kinomoto could be seen together in a fancy restraunt sitting at the same table. Li's elbows are on the table, while his hands are both holding on to another

pair of hands. "Syaoran, I can't believe we've been married for 8 years now!" said Sakura. "Me neither. I'm so happy that I'm with you Sakura." Suddenly, a familiar-looking waiter

came up to their table. "May I take your orders, brat and kaijuu?" Sakura looked at Touya madly. "What in the world are you doing here Onii-chan? And I 'm not a Kaijuu!"

"Whatever you say Sakura. Anyways brat... this is for you." said Touya with an evil grin, handing Li a letter inside an envelope. "What? for me?" The letter read, Dear Syaoran, I

hope you come back from your business trip soon! So far, I've been waiting for 8 years for you to return so we could finally get married! Love, Meilin. Sakura who

noticed that the letter was addressed from Meilin, snatched it from Li to read it herself. "OH MY GOSH! YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD HER?" Sakura looked at Li angrily. "I

can't believe that our love was too embarassing for you! That's it! This relationship is off!" Li was in shock. "What! But what about our anniversary today? What about our 2 kids?

Our vacation next week? Our second honeymoon in the beach resort?" said Li. "I don't care! Because obviously you don't love me at all!" Sakura ran away from the restraunt.

"Sakura! Come back! Sakura!" Li looked toward Touya. "Damn it! This is all your fault." Touya smiled at Li. "Nope. It's actually all yours." Suddenly Li found himself inside his

room, on top of the bed, sitting straight, sweating and panting. 'I don't believe it. Another dream concerning her...why am I continuing to having all these dreams, almost every night

now?' Li glanced over to his closet which was open. He smiled when he saw Cherry sleeping peacefully on a tiny pillow Li used to sleep on when he was little. Li then glanced over

to his alarm clock. The clock read 3 in the morning. 'That's it. I have to tellat least tell Meilin about hertoday, so I can eventually tell Sakura...No matter what happens, I have to." Li

went back to sleep.

6:00 AM at Li's apartment...

"RINGGGGG!" Li got up from his bed and started getting ready for school.He brushed his teeth, took a shower, and changed clothes. He then went back inside his roomto tell his

guardian something."Now Cherry, stay inside the closet no matter what. I'll at least open a little crack so you don't suffocate... Oh, and if I see my pictures touched, It's back to the

bird cage for you!" "Syaoran who in the world are you talking to?" Li jumped. He turned around to see that the source ofthe voice was Meilin. He quickly shut the closet and leaned

on it with his back so Meilin wouldn't find out about Cherry. "No one! I'm not talking to anyone! There is no such thing as talking! Speechis just a myth!" Meilin looked at the crazy-

like Li confusingly. "Iguess you aren't much of a morning person are you? Anyways, come out when you're ready. Breakfast is ready!" Li continued to guard the closet until Meilin

left his room. Then Li let out another big sigh."And Cherry it's also important you keep quiet in the closet too when people are near. Understand?" "Okay Mr. Li-kun!" Li smiled

and left the room while carrying his backpack. Li went inside the dinner table, where he saw all sorts of familiar chinese food. "I'm sure you missed some Chinese Syaoran! So I

made some for you this morning!" Suddenly Meilin's eyes turned all sparkly. "Sigh... I really can't wait when I get to cook for you everyday..." Li after hearing Meilin's comment,

looked down onto the table gloomy-like. "Listen Meilin... I want you to walk to school with me... I need to tell you something important..." Meilin being clueless blushed at what that

important something may be. "Um... sure Syaoran. I was going to make you walk with me anyways..." Soon breakfast was over and Li and Meilin started walking toward school.

While they were walking, Meilin clinged on to Li's arm without Li's consent. "So um what did you want to talk with me about?" Li suddenly stopped walking and looked down upon

the ground. "Remember that promise we made when we were little?" asked Li. "How could I forget the happiest day of my life?" That made Li hesitant for a while. 'No... I can't

keep lying to her like this...' "The promise was that I would marry you if unless one of us found someone else, right?" "Yes. That is right." "Well... um..." Right when Li was about to

tell Meilin something, a distant voice called out to him. "Hey!" Li glanced over to find out it was Naoko, Rika, Chiharu, and Yamazaki. Meilin also recgonized them."Hey you guys!

Over here!"The 4 friends ran toward Li and Meilin. "Ohayu Meilin-chan! Long time no see! Oh, ohayu Li-kun!""Ohayu! Long time no see guys!"said Meilin. "Come on Meilin-

chan! I'm sure everyone will want to know that you came back to Tomoeda!" Meilin nodded. "Sorry Syaoran. Can you tell me whatever it was later? I want to meet all of my old

classmates!" Li sighed. "Alright then..." Everyone started heading for school.

At the schol entrance...

The 6 friends were in the entrance of the school. Meilin was clinging on to Li's arm while talking to her old friends Naoko, Rika, and Chiharu while Yamazaki just kept on telling

stories even though no one listened. After walking for a while, the gang noticed Sakura waving to them on the few stairs leading to the front door. "Kinomoto-san! Over here!"yelled

Meilin. Sakura dashed off to where everyone was. Li turned his head back while blushing. "Ohayu you guys!" said Sakura. "Ohayu!" replied everone. "Ohayu Meilin! Long time no

see!" "Ohayu Kinomoto-san! It's been way too long." Sakura then turned toward. "Ohayu Syaoran-kun..." said Sakura blushing slightly. Li tilted his head a little toward Sakura's

direction."Ohayu Sakura..." said Li still blushing. Suddenly Sakura noticed how Meilin was just clinging on to Li's arm. For some reason she couldn't help but glare at where arm

met arm. "Is everything alright Kinomoto-san?" asked Meilin. Sakura quickly smiled nervously back to Meilin. "Of course!... Ano... See! I'm perfectly fine! Meilinlooked at Li and

Sakura sadly. Then she shook her head. "Is there something wrong with you Meilin?" Meilin smiled and replied. "I'm fine too! Thanks for asking Kinomoto. Come on you guys,

we're going to be late..." Everybody hurried on to the classroom.

Inside the classroom...

"Hello class!" Everyone replied "Good morning Sensei!" "Now class,we have a new student here today. I'm sure most of you already know her. Meilin Li, would yoube so kindas

to stand up?" Meilin, who was sitting right behind Li with a desk from another classroom, did as she was told. "Hello everyone! It's really good to be back!" After Meilin's little

welcome, the teacher continued on with his lesson. "So an Isoceles triangle is a triangle that has..." "RINGGGGGG!" "Looks likeit's lunch time. Class will resume after an hour."

"Hai!" Everyone stood up to go somewhere and eat their lunch. "Come on Syaoran! I made all of your favorites! Let's go eat lunch together!" Out of nowhere, Sakura interrupted,

causing Li to turn the other way to hide his blush. "But... um... I was thinking that... Syaoran-kun was probably more accustumed to Japenese by now... so that... we could eat

together." Hearing this deepened Li's blush. "What's gotten into you Kinomoto? Making lunch for Syaoran and everything." Sakura blushed slightly. "Ano... well... I thought that...

since Syaoran really helped me outa lot... and he was also nice to me... I could thank him as my friend." Suddenly Tomoyo interrupted out of nowhere as well. "But Sakura-chan,

you already gave Li a lunch yesterday, remember?" Suddenly Meilin started to look at Sakura carefully. 'Wait a minute... that blush, the nervous way of talking, and calling him by

his first name,' Meilin glared at Sakura. "Um please excuse us Syaoran... us girls need to talk in private..." Syaoran nodded and left the classroom. "I see what you're trying to do!

Well you realize this means war!" "Hoe?..." "Looks like we'll be rivals for the time being Kinomoto. May the best girl win!" After saying this, Meilin burst open the classroom door

and ran to Li. "Syaoran, I'm sure you're hungry. Sorry to keep you waiting fi-an-cee!" Sakura glared at Meilin who put on an evil grin on her face. Sakura also ran up to where Li

was. "Like I said, I'm sure Syaoran-kun is more accustumed to Japenese food now! Right Syaoran-kun?" Li blushed after hearing this. 'As much as I want to go with Sakura, I can't

miss such an opportunity to finally tell Meilin, so I can eventually tell her... Besides I'm sure she just wanted repay me again for helping her...' "I'm sorry Sakura... but I have to sort

of eat with Meilin today." Sakura frowned and looked down on the ground. "Oh... alright." Sakura walked back to Tomoyo sadly, and it pained Li to see Sakura like this. 'Alright!

Score one for me!' thought Meilin.As Li and Meilin walked outside to a shady spot in the grass, Sakura and Tomoyo were spying on them on top of a tree. "I can't believe he

decided to eat with HER! I don't care what the reason was, I mean, who would want to eat that? Oh wait, I guess I would... But still! How could he... Grr!" Tomoyo smiled at

Sakura. "Are you actually jealous for once Sakura?" Sakura blushed. "No...Wait! It's not... like that! I just...worked hard forthe lunchand I'm disappointed no one will eat it that's

all..." Tomoyo laughed quietly to herself. "Here Sakura-chan! You can hear what they're saying with this!" said Tomoyo while handing Sakura a toy which looks like a small military

radar. "Arigato Tomoyo!... Wait, why in the world would you have something like this at school?" Tomoyo simply smiled. "That's a secret!" "Hoe..." Sakurasweatdropped.Sakura

put on the headset and pointed the radar to Li and Meilin. "Listen Meilin... I only had lunch with you because I need to tell you something important." Li looked grimly down on the

ground. "Meilin, I love..." Although Li was about to finish with Sakura, Sakura had a different word starting with a y in mind. Li saw Sakura running away from school and crying.

"Sakura! what's wrong?" Just as Li stood up to go after Sakura, Melin pulled him back down. "Wait, Syaoran, do you really love me?" "What! No, what I meant to say was that I

love Sa..." Before Li had a chance to finish, everything around him simply froze. There was no movement in sight, not even in Sakura, who her and her tears were frozen in space.

"Damn...it's Time..., this can't possibly be happening to me..." Li drew his sword. "Show yourself card!" Right after he spoke, a figure of an old man holding an hourglass appeared

in front of Li. Suddenly, Li shocked to see the Time speaking. "Young master of magic, why do you try so hard to reunite us?" Li thought for a while, and blushed slightly. "That's...

none of... your business." said Li. "Libra! Come to my aid!" Now another card appeared right next to Time. "Libra please help me to uncover the truth of my former master's

intentions!" Libra nodded, and cast it's effect on Li. "Now, why do you try so hard to reunite us?" Li blushed once again, but this time he smiled. "I love Sakura Kinomoto more that

anything in this world. I'm very happy I got to be her friend, and I want to make sure nothing ever changes that. I mean, imagine if she actually found out about my accident after

working so hard to get and transform all the cards. Not even the Sakura I know wouldn't be angry at me for doing something so terrible. So no matter what happens, I have to

recapture all the cards before she founds out." Libra took her spell off Li. "See I told you former master's intentions were pure. You guyswere crazy with the, he wants more power,

or he wants to take over the world nonsense." said Time. Suddenly all the cards Li used to own when he and Sakura were competing for clow appeared right next to Time. "I don't

know what time's talking about. I always knew former master was a kind person at heart..." said Freeze. "I do not understand... than why did you read stopping evil mad magicians

for dummies?" said Thunder. "I always knew someone as cute as former master Li-kun could never be evil." said Cloud. "Alright that's enough." said Time. "Former master Li, we

were confused by your previous actions, and we wish your forgiveness for accusing you of trying to get our Mistress's cards for yourself." Suddenly Time bent his knees and looked

like he was in great pain. "Even I can't hold time for long with the Mistress's great magic power. Please seal all of us once more and useus inwhatever means to capture the

remaining cards." Li nodded. "Arigatou, you guys. Return to the guises you were meant to be in, Sakura cards." Li holded the Sakura's wand high as all of the Sakura Cards turned

back into cardboard mode." As soon as Timewas sealed, everything around Li was in motion again, including Meilin. 'Thanks for not forgetting me you guys. Now that leaves me

with just 5 more cards...' Li turned toward Meilin who was confused because to her, it looked like Li just suddenly stopped talking for no reason. "Um Syaoran, are you okay?" Li

let out a big sigh. "Listen Meilin, but I'm afraid you didn't let me finish. I didn't try to say I love you... I was trying to say I love Sakura. I'm really sorry, but I promised to tell you if I

did find someone." Meilin was very shocked and sad to hear what Li had just said. "I... understand..." Meilin ran away as fast as she could. "Meilin..." "You'll have to worry about

her later Mr. Li-kun! Right now, there's something wrong with miss Sakura!" Li nodded. "Right... hey wait a minute..." Li took a close look inside his backpack, only to find Cherry

trying to hide her face. "CHERRY I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE FOLLOWED ME TO MY SCHOOL!" yelled Li. "Well I can't help it if your closet got really boring after I

finished your diary. "I guess... hey wait a minute... YOU LOOKED INTO THAT THING?" again, yelled Li. "Um Mr Li-kun? Now's not the best time for this." Li sadly agreed.

"You're right. I have to go see what was wrong with Sakura. Li quickly ran in the same direction Sakura sped off to.
