Chapter 8. We Meet Again
(Sakura's Room; USA; 7:00 AM)
Touya silently crept into his sister's room. He grabbed two pillows and silently walked over to the side of the bed. He looked at Madison and Sakura, held the pillow over his head and BAM! "AH!" Sakura and Madison yelled as they sat up. "You guys finally woke up." Touya said grinning. Madison and Sakura let out yawns. "What.. yawn.. time.. yawn.. is.. yawn .. it yawn?" Sakura asked in-between her yawns. "It's yawn 7 yawn you yawn better yawn get yawn ready yawn or yawn you'll miss yawn your plane yawnnnn" Touya said mimicking Sakura. Sakura grabbed a pillow and threw it at Touya.

Touya dodged it and ran out the door laughing. "AHGDAIDIOTIDHF" Sakura mumbled to herself. Madison looked at Sakura, "He's right. Lets get ready." Madison said as she grabbed a pair of jeans and a plain purple top. Sakura slowly got up and grabbed a pair of jeans and her plain pink top. When they were finally done getting dressed and loading their luggage, it was already 8:30 am. "HURRY UP GIRLS!" Mr. Kinomoto yelled from the car. He, Mrs. Daidouji and Touya were already in the car. After about 5 minutes passed, Sakura and Madison finally went outside. They looked at their houses and went inside the car.

They drove in silence for 2 hours. When they finally got to the airport it was already 10:35 am. Mr. Kinomoto and Touya grabbed their 5 bags of luggage (A/N: not including their two carry-on bags) and wheeled them inside. Mrs. Daidouji grabbed the two carry on bags. When they finally got their bags checked and boarded onto the plane, it was 10:50. Sakura and Madison dropped their purses and carry on luggage and embrace their families for the last time. They said their good byes and wiped their tears away as they picked up their purses and carry on bags and headed for the plane. Mrs. Daidouji, Mr. Kinomoto, and Touya watched them as they boarded the plane.

Mr. Kinomoto put a comforting arm around Mrs. Daidouji and put the other around Touya as they left the airport….

(3 Days Later; Tokyo; 12:00 PM)
"Uhg!", "Why did we have to pack so much?" Sakura said as she tried to roll two of the luggage bags while carrying her purse and carry on. "AH! Sakura! Wait for me!" Madison said as she walked over to Sakura. Madison put down the 3 bags of luggage, and her carry on bag near Sakura. "Wait here. I have an Idea." Madison said as she walked away. Sakura looked at her friend, she was clueless, after about 5 minutes had passed, Madison came back with two luggage carts. "These should help!" Madison said smiling as she helped Sakura put the luggage on the carts.

Sakura and Madison pushed the carts outside and rented a rental car. When they finally packed their things into the car, Madison slid into the passenger seat. She wasn't really a great driver… Sakura let out a sigh and went inside the car. She put the key into the keyhole. She checked the mirrors one last time and smiled at Madison. Madison smiled back. They drove to their new mansion in silence. When they finally got to their house/mansion, Madison jumped out of the car and opened the door. Sakura took the key out and followed Madison inside. They both stood in silence staring at their new house….

"MOMMMMM! GUESS WHAT!" Meiling said excitedly as she ran into the kitchen to find her mom. "Woah! Settle down hunny!" Her mom said as she sat Meiling down. Mrs. Li waited until Meiling had calmed down. "Ok, what's the big news hunny?" Mrs. Li said smiling at her daughter. "WE'VE GOT NEW NEIGHBORS!" Meiling said happily. Mrs. Li smiled, "Really?" She asked. "YUP! It's two girls…." Meiling's excited tone turned into a depressed tone. "What's wrong dear?" Mrs. Li asked, "What if they're crazy stalkers like Maiiko?" Meiling said with a depressed tone.

"We—" "Who's like Maiiko?" Syaoran said interrupting his mother. "Oh Syaoran! We've got new neighbors!" Mrs. Li said happily. Syaoran took a step back, "AND THEY'RE LIKE MAIIKO?" Syaoran said with an unhappy tone. "No! Its two girls." Mrs. Li said. "Uhg. TWO girls plus one Maiiko… Gahhh. I'm going to my room." Syaoran said as he went upstairs groaning. "Same here, so much for new neighb---" "YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE YOUNG LADY!" Mrs. Li said stopping Meiling. "You haven't even met the girls and you already hate them. You are going to stay here and help me bake cookies, then we will meet the new neighbors." Mrs. Li said in a serious tone.

Meiling nodded and helped her mom bake cookies. Sakura and Madison smiled at each other. "OH! THIS IS SO COOL!" Madison said in excitement as she looked around the house. "I know!" Sakura said following Madison. "Hm, which room do you want Sakura?" Madison asked as they walked upstairs. "Hm, I dunno." Sakura replied as she looked in each room. "I mean there's so many! 6 bedrooms! NOT including the master bedroom!" Sakura said excitedly. "Oh! I wan---" DING DONG! Sakura looked at Madison, "I'll race yeah to the door!" Sakura said as she ran downstairs. Madison ran after her giggling.

"HAH! I WIN!" Sakura said as she opened the door. "Only cause you---" "Hi!" A young girl with long black hair, and brown beautiful eyes said in a somewhat happy tone. "Hi!" Madison said in reply. Sakura smiled. The young girl felt her mother poke her side with her elbow. "Oh.. Uh, I'm Meiling Li, this is my mom." Meiling said introducing her and mom. "Hi, I'm Mrs. Li/ We live right next door." Mrs. Li said shaking Madison and Sakura's hands. "I'm Sakura Kinomoto, and this is my best friend Madison Daidouji . " Sakura said smiling. Meiling smiled, 'Maybe they aren't like Maiiko..' She thought as she held out the plate of cookies. "Oh! We made these for you. Their chocolate chip cookies." Meiling said handing them to Sakura, Madison held her hands out in front of Sakura's, "I LOVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!" Madison said smiling. Sakura sweat-dropped and thanked Meiling and Mrs. Li for the cookies as she led them inside.

They all sat down in the living room. "So, what brought two lovely ladies from America to Tokyo?" Mrs. Li said smiling. "Oh, well, Madison designed clothes for the both of us, she sent photos of us in her designs to Tokyo Model Inc. and we got job offers." Sakura said. "MODELS!" Meiling said excitedly. Madison and Sakura smiled and nodded. "That's so cool!" Meiling said. Mrs. Li nodded in agreement. "Mom.. Can we invite them for dinner!" Meiling said with a pleading tone. "Oh, of course!" Mrs. Li said. "Oh! Thank you!" Madison and Sakura said smiling. "Awesome!" Meiling said standing up. "Great! We'll see you girls at 7." Mrs. Li said standing up as well.

Madison and Sakura stood up and led them to the door. "Well, we better get dressed!" Madison said. "Yup!" Sakura said as she went outside. Madison looked at her with a 'what-the-heck' face. "Uh.. Sakura?" Madison said looking out the door. "You aren't going to get dressed out there are you?" Madison said in a worried tone. Sakura shot her a mean look, "YUCK! NO! I'm getting our luggage stupid. That's were our clothes, shampoo, and body wash is!" Sakura said. Madison sweat-dropped. "Oh yeah Ahaha" Madison laughed as she helped Sakura grabbed the luggage bag.

When they got inside, they each grabbed what they were going to wear, a towel and their shampoo and body wash. They both headed upstairs and took a shower and got dressed. (A/N: There house has 5 and a half bathrooms, they went to separate bathrooms!) Sakura wore a light cherry blossom pink halter and flared jeans. She had on matching pink shoes and a pretty heart necklace. Madison wore a beautiful purple tank top and caprice (A/N: I don't know how to spell ca-pree-s. I'm stupid . ). She also had matching purple slip ons. They both smiled at each other.

Sakura looked at the clock, it was 6:50 pm. "We better go." Sakura said. "Yeah." Madison said as she and Sakura headed to the door. Sakura opened the door. "OH WAIT! Our jackets!" Madison said as she grabbed her and Sakura's jackets. "Hey mom. What's with the big dinner?" Syaoran asked as he grabbed some orange juice from the fridge. "Meiling didn't tell you we had guest--- SYAORAN! WHAT ARE YOU WEARING!" Mrs. Li said looking at Syaoran. Syaoran looked down, then looked back up at his mother. "Um.. I'm wearing a muscle top and boxers?" Syaoran replied. "GET DRESSED! WE HAVE VISITORS!" Mrs. Li said pointing to the stairs. Syaoran fell (anime style) "WHAT!" Syaoran said covering his body with his hands as he ran upstairs to get changed.

DING DONG! "Oh! Good! Whoever that was didn't see Syaoran in his undies!" Mrs. Li said as she went to answer the door. "Hi Mrs. Li! I hope its ok that we're a bit early." Madison said. "Oh! Its ok! Here let me get your jackets." Mrs. Li said as she took Madison and Sakura's jackets. "SAKURA! MADISON!" Meiling said happily from behind the couch. Madison and Sakura stared at her, "Um, Meiling why are you under the couch?" Sakura asked with a small laugh. "I thought you guys were Maiiko." Meiling said standing up. "Maiiko?" Madison asked. "Yeah. She's our neighbor on the right side." Meiling said leading Sakura and Madison to the dining room. Mrs. Li went to the kitchen. "So what's wrong with Maiiko?" Sakura asked as she sat down. "Oh, well she has like been my older brother's stalker since we've moved here. She's 20." Meiling said sitting down in front of Sakura. "Ahaha a stalker? Aren't you just exaggerating a bit?" Madison said as she took a seat next to Sakura.

"Nope, I swear I'm not exaggerating!. Ask my mom and dad. They're like annoyed of her to. She's always door belling looking for her 'sweet Syaoran' YUCK!" Meiling said pretending to throw up. Madison and Sakura laughed. "How old are you Meiling?" Sakura asked. "I'm 17" Meiling said, "How old are you guys?" "We're 20" Madison said. "Where's my little brown-eyed-beauty?" A voice from the kitchen asked. "OVER HERE DADDY!" Meiling said getting out of her seat to greet her dad. Madison and Sakura smiled and turned around. "Oh! You must be the new neighbors! I'm Mr. Li" Mr. Li said as he shook Madison and Sakura's hands. "Hi, I'm Madison Daidouji and this is my friend Sakura Kinomoto." Madison said as she and Sakura shook Mr. Li's hand. Mr. Li sat down to the chair next to Madison.

"You guys are gonna love my wife's cooking!" Mr. Li said as he clapped his hands together. Sakura and Madison smiled and nodded. Mrs. Li and Meiling soon came out with chow mien, fish, and dumplings. "Ohh! My favorite foods!" Sakura said as she sniffed the air. Mrs. Li smiled as she took a seat in-between Mr. Li and Meiling. There was one empty chair in-between Sakura and Meiling. "Oh! Meiling can you please get you brother so that we can start eating?" Mrs. Li asked. "Sure mom." Meiling said as she stood up. "HEY SYAORAN! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE SO THAT WE CAN EAT!" Meiling said. Everyone sweat-dropped and fell anime-style. "Meiling, why did you yell?" Mrs. Li asked when Meiling sat back down. "Well, you told me to get Syaoran." Meiling said flashing her mom an innocent smile.

'Uhg.. Another dinner with neighbors…' Syaoran thought to himself as he slowly walked downstairs. 'My mom is going to regret this…' Syaoran thought to himself as he remembered when his mom invited Maiiko's family for dinner. 'Boy was that a disaster.' He thought to himself. He walked into the dining room with his head down. He took the last available seat, which was right in-between Meiling and Sakura. He pretended to unfold his napkin so he wouldn't have to look up. Sakura stuck her hand out in front of her and faced Syaoran. "Hi. I'm Sakura, and this is Madison." Sakura said smiling. Madison looked at him and smiled, 'Ok, rude much,' Madison thought to herself as she focused her attention back to Meiling. 'Huh? That voice…' He thought to himself as he slowly put his head up. He stared at Sakura for what seemed to be 2874648361 years. 'Oh man. How embarrassing.' Meiling thought to herself as she kicked Syaoran's shin under the table.

"OW!" Syaoran said shooting Meiling a dirty look. Meiling just smiled innocently. He glanced at Sakura, her hand was still out, "Oh, uh, I'm Syaoran" He said shaking Sakura's hand. 'I feel like I know her… but from where? She seems so familiar…' Syaoran thought to himself. 'Ok.. You can let go of my hand anytime now Syaoran.' Sakura thought to herself. Syaoran saw her facial expression and let go of her hand. "Um, Hi Madison." Syaoran said as he smiled at Madison. Madison smiled back. "Guess what daddy!" Meiling said excitedly. "What hunny?" Mr. Li asked as he ate his chow mien. "SAKURA AND MADISON ARE MODELS!" Meiling said. Sakura and Madison fell backwards. "Oh? Is that true!" Mr. Li said looking at Sakura and Madison.

Madison nodded. "That's great!" Mr. Li said. Sakura smiled. Syaoran felt a smile grow on his face.. 'What? Why am I smiling.. I only smile around my family, Eriol, and that girl from my memory….' He thought to himself as he tried to throw his smile. "What company do you work for?" Mrs. Li asked. "Oh, um Tokyo Model Inc." Sakura said smiling. Meiling dropped her fork, "TOKYO MODEL INC.?" She asked with her mouth open. Madison's stomach felt weird, "Uh, yeah." Madison said. "THAT'S LIKE THE BEST MODELING AGENCY EVER!" Meiling said. "Congratulations! When do you start?" Meiling said. "Oh we start next month, they're letting us take a month off so we can get used to Tokyo." Madison said smiling.

"Cool!" Meiling nodded. "Mmm! Mrs. Li I love your cooking!" Madison and Sakura said in unison. "Why thank you girls!" Mrs. Li said smiling. Madison glanced at the clock, "Oh! It's already 8:30!" Madison said standing up. "Oh my it's that late already?" Mrs. Li said standing up. "Heh, we better go." Sakura said as she stood up. Meiling led them to the door. "Thanks for dinner!" Sakura and Madison said as they put on their coats. "Bye!" They said as they walked home. When they got inside, Madison and Sakura jumped on the couch. "Whatta dinner eh?" Madison said. "Yeah." Sakura said as she turned on the TV. "Hm.. Syaoran is kinda cute isn't he?" Madison said as she blushed. Sakura looked at Madison. "Uh,.. I guess. But he kinda freaked me out. I mean like he wouldn't let go of my hand!" Sakura said rolling her eyes.

Madison and Sakura spent the whole night talking about Syaoran. They talked about his cuteness (well mostly Madison did), they talked about his weirdness (mostly Sakura did, they talked about how quiet he was. They talked about Syaoran until they fell asleep….
