So, there I stood, spilling my confessions to the wide-eyed, shocked, white faces of Tomoyo and Li-kun.

I told them I was no harm, just an average girl—or so I think—and just trying to help out.

After all, I know I can help.

Slowly, I ease in as a friend and they begin to trust me more.

Except for Li-kun.

I don't blame him. Wouldn't you be angry if your love was being held captive? And this random spy knows where she is… not you?

I try to be friendly… but he just won't accept me.

Tomoyo picks up her purse with no hurry, her eyes a little blank, her mind still full of thoughts about my speech.

Li-kun gives me odd glances, still uneasy around me. And I'm still uneasy around him. He looks so cute and nice when he's around Sakura… but I guess he is a bit scary when he's like that. Probably like when Sakura first met him.

Tomoyo drifts away. Leaving me with Li-kun, glaring at me. He gives me shivers.

He snarls, "I don't know who you are, where you come from… but why have you been watching Sakura?"

I stared at him with wide eyes, I didn't know how to respond to his question.

"Mika-chan! Mika-chan! Suyama Mika-chan!" Tomoyo calls, flailing her arms to show an emergency.

I run over to her, feeling relieved to be able to escape the threatening Li-kun.
Tomoyo smiles at me, "May I call you Mika-chan?"

I nod, smiling.

"Hmph." Li-kun turns away with crossed arms and a weird pout. Kind of like how he acted with Sakura, before she warmed his heart. I guess he is trying to protect Sakura, I know he can be nice. Maybe just not nice with me.

Tomoyo leads me to her vast house… or rather mansion.

There, we begin a quest to a whole new world… and new friendships….

There are things in life that people can't erase. Things in life you just can't lock up. Things in life you can never forget. They are what people see. What people did.

It's too impossible to forget about the first time you tied up your shoelaces by yourself. Or when you did something bad. There are happy memories you want to live over again. There are regrets. But there are some different kinds of things. Like when you witnessed something. Something so unimaginable you just can't forget. Like me.

How can I forget the first time I saw anyone flying in the air… on a baton? The silhouette of a young girl, flying on a baton, across the glowering moon. To see someone chant words and create a staff in her palm. Watch as they throw up a card and magic is released. Watch as they change a card. Watch as people are falling in love, watch as people are stirring problems behind their back. It's just something no one can forget. It's something I saw and something I'll never forget. And I'll never forget that feeling, that sensation tingling in my stomach, as I believed. Believing in magic was a child's thing. Something you thought about when you watched TV, thought about unicorns and fairies. Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. But those soon die in your head when you grow up, and you can't believe anymore. But there I was, standing in the midst of magic. Believing. And now I see how much I wanted to be there. For me to be the one standing beyond where I was. To be standing in the middle of magic, to be holding that stick in my hand and chanting out words. To have that guy of my dreams and the greatest best friend. To have people watching over you, people loving you. How much I wanted to be there. How much I wanted to be Card Captor Sakura.
