Chapter 15. All
Girls Lunch
"Uh.. Yeah?" Sakura said with a confused
tone. Sakura and Madison could hear Touya and Mr. Kinomoto whispering
loudly in the background, "Uh, Heh. How are you doing girls?" Ms.
Daidoji said nervously trying to cover up the whispering. Ms. Daidoji
knew about the Li's. Ms. Daidoji recapped on the information; Mr.
Kinomoto filled her in on what happened when they first moved next
door. The Li's were a close neighbor and friend to the Kinomoto's.
The Li's had two kids, one boy and one girl. And that one boy was
Sakura's childhood sweetheart. That boy supposedly lived
right next door to them now! But right after Syaoran left Sakura for
Tokyo 13 years ago, Sakura got into a terrible accident, remembering
everything but the Li's…
"Uh… Mom? Is everything ok?" Madison asked suspiciously. Sakura looked at Madison with a "what-the-heck" face. Madison replied with a shrug, "UH YES." Ms. Daidoji said loudly. But it wasn't loud enough to cover the whispers… "…. Dad! They live…" "I know… should we…"? "Tell?" "No… yes…should we?" "No. Won't it make…. Worse?" "No… But doesn't she have a right?" "No… Yes… no?" "UH. HOWS THE MODELING CAREER GOING?" Ms. Daidoji said shushing the two men in the background. "Uh… Mom? Why are you yelling?" Madison asked, "Yeah, and why are they whispering?" Sakura asked. "Uh… Huh? Me yelling? Oh, whispering? Uh, Hm… No yelling or WHISPERING here!" Ms. Daidoji said glancing at the two men, Mr. Kinomoto and Touya stopped whispering and sweat-dropped, "Uh, yeah. You guys are probably just hearing things!" Touya said nervously.
"Ok…" Madison said. "Um, so what's the big deal about the Li's Touya?" Sakura asked suspiciously. 'Did we know the Li's before or something?' Sakura thought to herself waiting for Touya to answer on the other line, "Huh? The Li's, uh…" Touya looked at his dad for an answer. "Do I tell her? Do I not tell her?" Touya mouthed as he looked at Ms. Daidoji and his dad. Mr. Kinomoto shrugged; Ms. Daidoji nodded the 'yes' way. "If you were 7 years old, and your best friend/ boyfriend moved to Tokyo, then after you said good bye to each other, got hit by a truck, remembered everything but him, then moved to Tokyo 13 years later, and end up living right next to the guy, wouldn't you want someone to tell you?" Ms. Daidoji said with her hands on her hips facing Mr. Kinomoto. Mr. Kinomoto fell back anime style, "Uh… yes? No? Maybe?" Mr. Kinomoto said backing away from Ms. Daidoji. "Uh? Hello?" Sakura said, the phone was getting static-y. "YES" The three, said in unison, "Um, the phone card is running out of minutes…" Madison said warning them, "We need to----" Click. "Please hang up and try again" the operator said.
Madison let out a loud sigh and hung up the phone. Sakura looked
troubled, "What's wrong Sakura?" Madison said putting the phone
back on the receiver. "Huh? Oh well, didn't you notice how they
reacted when we told them about the Li's? I mean the mad
whispering… Your mom yelling trying to cover it up?" Sakura
paused, "Doesn't it seem kind of weird? And suspicious?" Sakura
asked. Madison sat down and rubbed her chin thinking back, "Yeah.
Your right! It was weird, and suspicious! What do you think they were
covering up?" Madison asked. "Hm, I don't know. But it was
about one of us." Sakura said pointing to her and Madison. "What?"
Madison asked with a questioned look, "Well, didn't you hear my
dad and Touya?" Madison nodded, "Yeah… I think… wait what?"
Madison said unsure of what she heard was right or wrong, Sakura let
out a loud sigh, "Ok, there whisper conversation went like
this:
Touya: Dad! They live….
Dad: I know… should
we…?
Touya: Tell?
Dad: No… yes…should we?
Touya: No.
Won't it make…. Worse?
Dad: No… But doesn't she have a
right?
Touya: No… Yes… no? " Sakura said acting out the
weird whisper conversation.
"Who do you suppose they were talking about? And what wouldn't they tell us?" Madison asked, "I don't know which one of us they were talking about… And what about the Li's that they didn't want to tell us? And why would things get worse if they did?" Sakura asked. They both let out a confused sad sigh. "There are so many things they are hiding from us Sakura… So many things we don't know!" Madison said frustrated. "It's not that many things we don't know…" Sakura said trying to calm Madison down, "Yes there are Sakura! 1, that locket of yours, 2, that strange Syaoran-look-alike boy IN the locket, 3, your flashbacks, 4, our parents and Touya are hiding something form us, and 5, I don't know what 5 is, but I bet there's going to be one!" Madison said flailing her arms in the air. Sakura stayed quiet, "What a way to start a day!" Madison said going into the living room.
Sakura stayed were she was, again, Madison WAS right. 'There are A LOT of things we don't know… Where did this locket come from? Who is the guy in the locket? Why am I getting flashbacks? What are our parents and Touya hiding from us?' Sakura thought to herself as she stood up and did the dishes. While she was washing the dishes, she kept replaying the conversation is her head. "Sakura Kinomoto is a sucky detective." Sakura said to herself as she washed her hands and went to join Madison in the living room. Madison seemed "ok" now, "Hm, lets make our outfits!" Madison said happily getting her outfit making supplies, Sakura smiled and nodded. "What outfits will the great Madison Daidoji make for our first day?" Sakura asked looking at Madison's sketches. "Well, if you must know," Madison smiled, "I will be making you a strapless cherry blossom pink gown, that will end halfway down your legs, it will be lacey, ribbon-y, and all around pretty!" Madison said clapping her hands together.
Sakura smiled, all the dresses Madison made her were drop-dead gorgeous! "And you will be wearing?" Sakura asked, "I will be wearing a dark purple strapless gown with a light blue interior, which will also be lacey, ribbon-y, and of course, pretty!" Madison said as she put thread in a needle as she began to work. Sakura watched, she wasn't much of a "dress-maker" but if Madison needed her to get something she'd be there to do it. "Oh Sakura could you hand me the piece of thread?" Madison asked without looking up from the sewing machine, "Yeah, sure!" Sakura said handing Madison the thread. "I can't wait to see what this dress looks like Madison!" Sakura said anxiously. Madison smiled. After about 3 hours, yes, Madison is a fast dressmaker; Madison stood up and grabbed the two gowns, "TA DA!" Madison said showing the gowns to Sakura. Sakura's mouth opened in awe, "MADISON! They are gorgeous!" Sakura said grabbing her's and spinning around in circles. "LETS TRY EM ON!" Madison said happy that Sakura liked her dress.
Sakura nodded and ran into the bathroom, Madison ran into the other bathroom, after about 5 minutes, the two girls went back into the living room, Sakura, even with her hair in a ponytail was gorgeous, pink strapless gown with lace below the neck and at the end of the gown, the ribbons in a perfect spot. "You are gorgeous!" Madison said gaping at Sakura's beauty. Madison was wearing a strapless dark purple gown with blue thread lining below her neck, her purplish, blackish hair on one side, "Me? Gorgeous? Look at You!" Sakura said gesturing to the mirror. Madison was drop dead gorgeous! They both were. They smiled at each other. DING DONG! "Huh? Did you expect anyone Sakura?" Madison asked walking towards the door, "Um, no?" Sakura asked following Madison, Madison twisted the door-know and opened the door.
"Hi, Sa--- Ma---?" Meiling stared awing at them, Madison and Sakura blushed with embarrassment, "Uh, sorry, I think I got the wrong house…" Meiling said turning around. Madison grabbed her shoulder and giggled, "Its us Meiling!" Madison said walking Meiling inside the house, Sakura smiled, "Yup, it me and Madison." Sakura said clearing the couch so that Meiling could have a seat, "You guys look so beautiful!" Meiling said. The two girls giggled, "Thanks! Hey, wait here a sec, we'll change!" Madison said as she and Sakura went into their bathrooms to change. Once they finished changing they went back into the living room with there gowns in their hands, Sakura and Madison were both wearing shorts, Sakura wore a big blue shirt, and Madison wore a big black shirt, they hung their gowns inside the empty closet downstairs, "What's up Meiling?" Sakura asked finding a spot to sit, "Huh?" Meiling said, 'Why did I come here again? Oh! Curse my short term memory!' Meiling cursed herself in her mind, "Uh, I forgot ahah…" Meiling said. Sakura and Madison sweat-dropped.
"Heh, oh well, since your here, would you like to join us for some lunch?" Sakura asked standing up, Meiling nodded, "Sure! It beats havin' lunch with the two boneheads at home. Their cooking is HORRIBLE!" Meiling said pretending to throw up. Sakura and Madison laughed as they all headed into the kitchen. "Hm, what shall we eat today?" Madison asked as she looked inside the refrigerator, "Thanks for having me for lunch, its kind of my first time having lunch with us girls only…" Meiling said shyly as she sat down, "Really!" Sakura asked in shock, "Yeah, I'm always stuck eating with my brother and Eriol, who is kind of like my second brother, which totally sucks cause they suck at cooking and they always tease me." Meiling let out a sigh, "But they're ok I guess… they aren't that big of a bonehead." Meiling said smiling up at Sakura. "Well, what about your other neighbors? The one on the other side of your house… Uh… what's her name again?" Sakura asked trying to think, "Mai? Ko? Maiiko?" Sakura said, "Yeah! Maii---" "EW!" Meiling said with a disgusted tone, "What?" Madison asked looking at them, "LUNCH WITH MAIIKO?" Meiling looked disgusted, Sakura and Madison nodded nervously.
"I rather eat Syaoran and Eriol's Sunday surprise than have lunch with her!" Meiling said, Sakura laughed, "She is kind of snobby, but I bet she isn't that bad." Sakura said. Madison let out a disgusted sigh, "She ALWAYS tries to find the best in people, even if she totally hates them, she'll stick up for 'em." Madison said. Sakura rolled her eyes, Meiling laughed, "You have no clue what she is like! I bet if you met her you'd take back everything you said about her being nice." Meiling said poking Sakura's forehead teasingly. Sakura grinned, "Ok, ok, what is she like?" Sakura asked getting plates from the dishwasher, "She is mean, snobby, SYAORAN OBSSESED, ugly, pushy, SYAORAN OBSESSED, weird, and did I mention SYAORAN OBSESSED?" Meiling said, "Yeah, I think you mentioned Syaoran obsessed once or twice…" Madison said picking up the phone.
Sakura laughed, "Hey, who you calling?" Sakura asked, Madison grinned, "Hey Meiling, I know this is your first time like eating with out your two brothers home cooking, but would you mind if I order Chinese? We're all out of food." Madison asked, Meiling giggled, "Sure!" Madison dialed the number and ordered chow mien, egg rolls, and all that good stuff. When the order finally came, they dug in, "This is great!" Meiling said, "Finally, no guys to tease me and pick on me while I eat!" Meiling smiled, "You guys are the best!" Meiling said, "Thanks!" Sakura and Madison said in unison, "Your like our little sister, those guys can't pick on you with us around!" Madison said pointing her fork at Meiling, Meiling smiled. DING DONG! "Oh, I'll get it, maybe we didn't pay the guy enough money…" Madison said as she opened the door, "Hey, is my wonderful sister Meiling here?" someone said, "Uh, sorry but the only sisters Meiling has are me and Sakura." Madison said protectively, "Oh what? No! I'm her one and only sister that's been by her side for 13 years!" someone shot back, "Oh yeah?" Madison said, "HEY MEILING!" Madison shouted, Meiling walked to the door, "EW! What are you doing here?" Meiling said pointing at Maiiko.
"Is that how you treat your friend / sister?" Maiiko said sweetly, "No. But I treat people that I despise that way." Meiling said. "Oh, come on Meiling, I need you to get inside your house so that I can see Syaoran!" Maiiko said with an annoyed tone and she grabbed Meiling hand, Sakura went to the door to see what all the commotion was about, "Uh, excuse me, let go of her or else." Madison said grabbing Meiling's other hand. "Or else what?" Maiiko said, Sakura grabbed the cordless phone and pretended to dial Meiling's house number, "Hello? SYAORAN?" Sakura emphasized his name, "Yeah, um Maiiko is here trying to kidnap you----" Maiiko let go of Meiling and ran away. The three went inside and began eating again, "Did you really call Syaoran?" Meiling asked, "No. But I knew it would make Maiiko go away!" Sakura said winking. Meiling smiled. DING DONG! "Uhg, not again!" Sakura said as she got up to answer the door, "Hey Meiling! Its your brother!" Sakura said looking through the hole, "What?" Meiling said as she and Madison went to the door, Sakura opened it. And there stood Prince Charming, and Super Strong Syaoran, in their cute little PJ's. "I like your shining armor my Prince." Madison said grinning. Eriol in Pajamas with a little bunny on his shirt, how cute!
Eriol blushed,
"Hey! That's not why we're here!" Eriol said covering the
bunny, "Oh what is it then?" Sakura asked grinning, "We came
for Meiling, we thought she ran away. We just woke up, but it turns
out she was here all along." Syaoran said eyeing his sister,
Meiling smiled innocently, "They invited me for lunch." Meiling
said, Eriol's eyes lit up, "An ALL GIRLS ONLY lunch." Meiling
smiled an innocent smile. She knew Eriol loved Madison, Sakura
and Madison laughed, "Yup, well, she'll see you later! Bye bye
now!" Madison said as she closed the door.
