Well, hello! And Welcome to My Little World of Weirdness!

I state for the record that, despite the fact I really, really wish I did, I don't own any of the characters that will grace this story; it's all CLAMP's! Always has been, always will be!

Also I don't pretend to have any Mastery over the language of Japanese or any clue as to correct grammatical structure. I put it in and hope it gets across the point I'm trying to make! Nor do I [regretfully] own The Gumi 'Catch You, Catch Me' theme tune, but I do own the Cardcaptor of the Whoops lyrics to this fic!! And Yue-Bella, and Kero-ette, and Li Syaotang, and Madison Rae and Carl Hodover, and several other characters, but I don't want to spoil the surprise yet!! All other songs I don't own, but I do own the made up lyrics!! Every line except from the last line from catch 'em, That way . . . I mention it purely because my beta reader, who I have never heard swear and once read one email with a serious swear word in it [I'm still in therapy for that one, the shock, the shock!] anyway, she who never swears almost gave me a heart attack when she suggested it . . .

Whoops! Didn't Mean To Do That . . .

Series Zero.Two

By Dr Megalomania.

[Cue Magic Girl Type Music and Meilin:]

Meilin: OHAYO! I'm Meilin Li! I'm the brand new Cardcaptor!! My birthday is on March the 25, I'm fifteen, and my blood type is B! That means I'm extremely energetic and genki! My favourite colour is Crimson, which is why my Magic circle is also this colour! My favourite classes are P.E and Music because I'm extra good at those! But I don't like Japanese! Why can't everyone just learn Chinese? Anyway, like I was saying, I'm the new Cardcaptor . . . It's my job to capture Clow's worst mistakes, but with Kero-ette, Yue-Bella and Syaotang by my side I'm sure I can succeed . . . although . . . Madison might make it even harder for me!!

[Cue 'Catch You, Catch Me' and Meilin Singing:]

I can't believe it, but I gotta!

I'm the Cardcaptor of the Whoops!

Clow was such an idiot,

And now I *must* clean up all his mess!

But still . . . but still . . .

'Least I get to be the magic girl!

With Yue-Bella and Kero-ette,

I'll surely succeed!

So now, catch 'em, catch 'em, that way, that way, Hoo-boy!

Remind me who's fault this was!

And now, Syaotang's after 'em and Madison's crazy! Help me!!

Surely there must be some other, other, other, OTHER way!!

I'm in such deep sh--------

A thousand crimson red lotus petals rain down on her . . .

She turns, the clock tower again . . .

"This dream . . . who is it? Who calls to me?"

A flick of her head and she sees Kero-ette hovering beside her, gazing solemnly at the clock tower, "Meilin-sama . . . it . . . is time . . ." Meilin blinked, as she feels her hand being squeezed, Syaotang gazes at the clock tower too. "Do your best . . . and we will surely succeed . . ."

The clock tower bathes in a rainbow of lights, and the streams of Scarlet lotus petals . . .

A ringing . . . insistent and annoying . . . a man with long green hair . . . Carho, he knows Ruby Moon somehow . . .

Meilin looks back at the clock tower, the ringing still sounding . . . crimson ribbons swirling everywhere, as the lotus petals turns into the---

"Who is it . . .?"

She looks up and find herself on the stage of Tomoeda School, she spins at the sound of the voice of a boy, "and then they say E equals see are squared . . ."

"Yamazaki?" Meilin calls into the darkness, Yamazaki is talking and then he is suddenly cut off.

"Hai, hai!" Chiharu shouts as per usual. "You and your prophetic dream talk again . . . stop giving away important plot points!!" Meilin frowns; a card she was about to encounter is going to involve them?

[Cue Senselessly Dramatic Music]

Part Seven: Meilin, Yamazaki and the interru---

"E equals see are squared . . . what can it mean?" She looked up at the sky, spring felt so warm it almost felt like summer, she smiled but fell very thoughtful again, she had asked Kero-ette about the strange equation, but the little guardian beast-ette didn't know about anything that would happen after Yue-Bella's final judgement . . . Meilin sighed, and had asked what state Clow had been in when he decided not to plan any further. Kero-ette laughed and shook her head, "You're getting to know Clow a lot better . . . He was lazy and bored . . ."

Meilin skated slowly to school; she glanced at her cousin as he skated too. Despite her heavy thoughts that morning . . . //Why would the card involve Chiharu and Yamazaki?// . . . Meilin smiled in amusement, as she stared at his dark green skates and safety caps. "Now who's taking the carbon copy of Sakura thing too far?"

Syaoran shrugged as he clasped his hands behind his back and skated backwards, "I didn't bring my bike to Japan . . . besides if it means I can keep up with you then---"

"Ohayo!" Yuki-Bella interrupted, as she and her brother rode up to them, "How are you?"

Meilin blushed happily at Yukito-Bella and then shook herself out of it, //Am not falling for my Moon guardian, Am not! Am not! Am not! No matter how much she's . . .// She felt her knees go all weak, // Hanyaaaaaannnn!!// Meilin tried not to giggle and rolled her eyes. She focused on Yuki-Bella's riding companion, "Yukito-san? What are you doing here?"

Yukito smiled, "I stayed over at my sister's last night . . . we had a midnight feast together but of course we started early, at around four in the afternoon . . ." He glanced at her and sighed, "Oshii!"

Syaoran rolled his eyes and shook his head as Yukito-Bella and Yuki entered into a dream sequence filled with all the usually magic girl glowing orbs and stars, "We had lots and lots of oshii food . . . and we ate as much as we wanted!!" The two sighed happily, "We're truly brother and sister . . . we have the same appetite . . ." They smiled at each other, stars and hearts literally blooming around them, "It's so nice . . . Hayaannn!"

Syaoran and Meilin face faulted at each other as the two started to swoon about the gravy they had made for their roast beef on their seventh course . . .

Yamazaki yawned and stretched before opening his curtains, he smiled as he leant out, today was such a beautiful day . . . he looked at his finger and stretched it, "Ready for a work out my friend?" The Finger 'nodded', and Yamazaki smiled, kissing the finger lightly, "I love you my Finger Of Truth . . ." His finger blushed slightly, and silently told Yamazaki that it loved him too . . . but that they had time for this later, first he need to get dressed ready for school, then find some hapless . . . most likely Syaotang, or maybe the most dense . . . probably Sakura . . . or the most gullible . . . the best, Syaoran . . . and put the Finger Of Truth to its daily workout.

He got dressed hurriedly, had a large breakfast and ran to the meeting place, Chiharu always met him there. His mind started to awaken, and started to process //. . . What lies to begin today?// He still had that one from last week, the one about the trains in England being so great that the train companies did away with time itself to make the passengers think that the trains were late, but he hadn't used yet, then there was the ice cream monsters but he hadn't had a chance to start it . . .

As he thought, Chiharu came running up, she panted as she came to a stop, "Gomen nasai!" She panted, "Am I late?"

"Hai. . ." Yamazaki said very gravely, "So late in fact. . ." the Finger Of Truth sprung up instantly, "The school has used the special machine they keep in the base---"

"Hai, hai!" She pushed him along, "Enough of your lies!! Let's get to school!"

Touya looked at his watch as he sat on his bike, "Five . . ." He counted, "Four . . . three . . . two . . ."

"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Sakura screamed from her room, "I'M GOING TO BE LATE!!"

Touya nodded, "One second early . . . being the card mistress has improved things . . ."

Fujitaka laughed as he shook his head, "You treat her so harshly, Touya-san . . ." he smiled as he held up a bento box for the white and blue dash on roller skates that was his daughter, "Have a nice day at school!!" He called after his children.

"HAAAAAIIIIII!!"

Yamazaki smiled as he walked with his long time girlfriend, "Chiharu, so how was your holiday?"

"Holiday?"

"You've been away for two months . . . I assume you went on holiday . . ."

"Must be . . ." Chiharu nodded, "Well, I enjoyed it, we went to Europe with Naoko . . . they say there were lots of scary old castles there . . ."

"That's very true!" Yamazaki held the Finger Of Truth up, "They say that if you say Blooming Margaret three times you must drink the blood of an orange . . . now, not many people know that oranges bleed so. . ."

Chiharu stamped on his foot before he could say another word, "Hai, hai!"

"Ohayo!" Meilin beamed as Tomoyo entered the room, the violet haired girl smiled back. "Are you ready for tonight?"

Tomoyo nodded, "I will try my hardest," she leant over her desk to grab Meilin's hands, she sighed, "Especially since you and Sakura-chan are sure to be in the audience!"

Meilin sweat-dropped and smiled, "You are very strange Tomoyo-chan. . ." She shook her head, "Yukito and Yuki-Bella-chan will be there too!" Meilin grinned, "They heard about the free buffet and decided that they couldn't wait to hear you sweet voice while chomping down on as many breadsticks they could carry!" Meilin blinked, "Oh . . ." she gasped; "I left my lunch in the corridor!" She jumped up, "I'll be back in a minute!!"

Meilin smiled as she made her way back to her locker, she was going to the choir's recital with Yuki-Bella. She spun happily, "Yuki-Bella-chan!! I can't wait . . . I'll be with Yuki-Bella-chan all evening! And then---"

"You're gonna get out of my way right?" Meilin stopped spinning and came face to face with Madison, the purple haired American girl glowered at her.

"Nani?"

The neon blue eyes narrowed as the crazy American girl stepped forward, "You think you'll win . . ." Syaotang looked up from his shoes to see Madison growling at Meilin again, he sighed and walked up behind them, Madison continued, "But you won't because Syaotang is the real Cardcaptor!"

Syaotang slapped his forehead as Meilin swallowed, "But I was the one. . ."

"You cheated!" Madison tipped her head back and stared at her challengingly.

"How?" Meilin put her fist on her hips, "How could I cheat?"

"You cheated by ---" but Madison didn't finish as something landed and smashed heavily on her head, the neon blue eyes crossed and rolled back in her head, as Madison fell back onto Syaotang . . . who stepped out of the way and let her fall heavily to the ground! Meilin blinked at Syaotang as he started to snigger to himself quietly.

Eriol strolled up to the school's gates with Nakuru, "Are you going to the recital tonight?"

"Yes, I am . . ." Nakuru sighed, "But as the help . . . Touya roped me into one of his stupid part time jobs again!"

Eriol laughed and shook his head, "What about Yukito-Bella?"

"She's not going . . ." Nakuru's shoulders slumped, "She's staying over Yukito's house again . . . she sighed heavily, master . . .?"

"Hmmm?"

Nakuru paused outside Eriol's school, "Master, how do I tell her that I ---"

The blare of an ambulance interrupted them as it squealed past into Eriol's school.

"What in the hell hit me?" Madison moaned as she sat up.

"A ceiling tile . . ." Syaotang spun and growled as he found Carho standing behind him, once again the janitor had managed to get right behind them and not be noticed. The janitor smiled at him and leant over, he spoke quietly so only the little tango could hear him, "You should not be so paranoid, Little Tango . . . you'll give yourself a hernia . . ."

Syaotang's eyes narrowed as the green haired janitor straightened again, he smiled at Nakuru, "Hello Nakuru, are you well?"

Nakuru's eyes crimped slightly, "Yes . . . I'm fine thank you . . . you?"

Carho smiled kindly, then turned his attention back to Meilin, "She was hit but a ceiling tile . . ."

Meilin blinked as she fought the urge to murmur Hayaannn again. Carho had that effect on her, just like Yuki-Bella did; she shook her head, and focused, "A ceiling tile . . . why did it fall?"

Carho smiled again, and brushed his tight green ponytail back over his shoulder. He leant by Madison and checked the purple haired girl's head, "You'll be fine . . ." he murmured and straighten, he started to walk away before turning and looking back at Meilin, "Be careful of what you hear today . . ."

Meilin blinked, "what do you---"

The school bell rang and Carho smiled at her, "Time for class . . ." Smiling once more for effect, Carho ducked around a corner, with the goal of disappearing mysteriously. However a bucket didn't agree with that assessment . . . "WHOOOA!!"

"And then he said . . . be careful of what you hear today . . ."

Syaotang chewed slowly on his sandwich, the group was gathered under a tree in the park. The school had let everyone out early for preparation for the school's choir recital, Madison was fine, and would be out of hospital in no time. Syaotang shivered, despite the warm temperature, he had tried asking the hospital to keep her in over night for observation but unfortunately the doctors had been totally clinical and come to the profession diagnosis that Madison was . . . simply too annoying to be kept safely in reach of the nurses and the whole horde of pain-reducing drugs . . . the drugs were, after all, meant for the patients, not the medical staff.

"What do you think Syaotang?" Syaotang continued to chew, gazing distractedly at Meilin as she waved a hand in front of his face, "Hello? Heeello?"

Tomoyo nudged Sakura who was happily filming Meilin again, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"That this new FFX-series six digital camera is perfect for capturing Meilin's eyes even in this bright Sunlight?"

Tomoyo smiled, "Yes, that too . . . I was thinking more along the lines of how Syaotang is staring at Meilin-chan . . ."

Unknown to Chiharu and Yamazaki, they were being watched very carefully. The small winged sprite giggled as closed eyed boy began another lie, he entertained it, and he spoke so much that the sprite began to gather it's energy; it was about to interrupt him when the girl got there first. The sprite folded it's arms and pouted, it was going to interrupt the boy, not her!

The sprite watched them very carefully, and waited until the boy left the bi-pony tailed girl to fetch something else to eat, it giggled and looked around for something to get rid of her with. It's pupil-less eyes fell on a large branch above her, a smirk passed over it's mischievous blue face as the girl began to sing quietly to herself, "#Running up and down the stairs, As she used to, I've been searching for your face, in a pair of platform boots . . .#" the sprite's grin grew as it saw it's chance approaching, "#I may stumble . . . Oh what a pain---#"

The sprite did a victory dance as the branch made contact with Chiharu's head. As Yamazaki approached the sprite leapt down from the treetop and dragged Chiharu into the bushes. Because his eyes were closed, Yamazaki didn't see the bright flash of light and the new Chiharu leapt back into place. "It will be soon time for us to leave for the café so we can meet the---"

"Hai, hai!" Chiharu chirped, "I have some errands to run . . . please go without me!!"

Yamazaki, if he ever opened his eyes, would have blinked as Chiharu grinned, spun on her heel and ran off.

Eriol snickered as he swung his legs from the tree branch he and Syaoran were resting on above the others, Syaoran didn't even bother to look up from his lunch, "What new evil are you reeking upon this hapless universe oh most evil one from the depths of reincarnated hell, sent by Satan himself to bring misery and most certainly punishment to those who have done no wrong in their life except perhaps for being born under your blood lineage?"

Eriol paused in his snickering long enough to turn his most saddest innocent schoolboy look on Syaoran; "You think I'm evil?"

Syaoran looked up, and while still maintaining a perfectly deadpan expression and eye contact with Eriol, chewed six times, then swallowed, he took a sip from his carton of juice. Then he answered Eriol's question, "Yes."

Eriol turned to his cute little descendant, with bright stars in his eyes, "Do you really mean that?" He eyed him suspiciously, "You're not just saying that to make me feel special are you?"

"You are the most evil person I have ever met . . . your supremacy in the dark side is only surpassed by Tomoyo. . ."

Eriol hissed through his teeth, "Ah. . . you got me there. . ." he grinned, "You really think I'm evil though?"

"Yes, Eriol, you are very evil." Syaoran sighed, "Now what was it you were very evilly laughing over?"

Eriol beamed, "Him . . ." he pointed down at Syaotang who was now very flustered trying to explain his lack of concentration on thinking very hard about the morning's events and not on the beauty of Meilin's features.

"What about him?" Syaoran expertly chopped sticked himself an egg roll.

Eriol cocked an eyebrow, "You mean you haven't noticed?"

Syaoran raised an eyebrow as he swallowed, and chopped sticked himself another egg roll, "Noticed what?"

"He's in love with her. . ."

"Who is in love with whom?"

"Syaotang . . ." Eriol raised one hand and wiggled a finger, "Is in love . . ." he raised his other hand, and wiggled a finger on that one too, " . . . with Meilin. . ."

Syaoran's eyes bugged, and then he started to beat on his chest as that egg roll took a wrong turn . . .

While Eriol tried to rescue his distant relative from impending egg roll doom . . .

"Yuki-Bella. . ." Nakuru murmured quietly, "I . . . I . . . love you . . . and I don't know how you feel, but. . ."

Touya started to laugh from his vantage point in the branches above, "It would help if she was awake Nakuru!"

Nakuru looked up at the branch above her, Touya and Yukito were intertwined, the snow rabbit, like his sister was snoring quietly. The two Moon guardians were tired from a late capture the night before, Nakuru sighed and pressed her back against the trunk of the tree, she looked down at the grey mop of hair that rested on her chest, "I can't help it if every time I pluck up the guts to tell her, she's either asleep or out cold. . ."

Touya laughed again, careful not to disturb Yukito too much, "Have you tried Yue-Bella?"

Nakuru rolled her eyes, "Have you ever told Yue you love him?"

 The dark haired boy shook his head, "Not in so many words . . . but he does know I love him . . ." he stated very quickly, he shrugged, "Maybe you should write her a love letter . . ."

Nakuru grimaced, "You're enjoying this aren't you?"

Touya sniggered, "Let's just say I'm just . . ." he squeezed his fingers together, "*This* far from swinging out of trees and jumping through windows. . ."

Nakuru rolled her eyes, "Point taken . . ."

Yuki-Bella's stomach growled, followed closely by Yukito's. The two sat up almost immediately. Touya smiled and pressed his hand against Yuki's cheek gently, "Good nap?"

Yuki smiled and nodded, "I'm hungry though . . ." Touya laughed as he slid Yuki's glasses back into place.

Yuki-Bella smiled as she took her glasses from Nakuru, "Arigato . . ." she blinked, and cocked her head slightly, her face blanked and her eyes crossed slightly. Nakuru glanced up to see if Yukito was doing the same thing, he wasn't . . . he and Touya were smooching away.

"Did you say something?"

Nakuru blinked, "Pardon me?"

Yuki-Bella smiled and picked up her hand, "Did you say something . . .? Yue-Bella says she was awake enough to hear you mention my name . . ."

"Well, I . . ." Nakuru glanced up, "I wanted to tell you something . . ." she squeezed Yuki-Bella's hand slightly, "I . . . I . . . love . . ."

"WHOOOOAA!!" Nakuru and Yuki-Bella's heads snapped up as Touya and Yukito unbalanced and fell out of the tree. There were two sharp blue glows and a purple one as the three Moon guardians changed at once. Touya open his eyes to see the park in glorious upside down Technicolor, he sighed in relief and glanced over to see if Yuki was all right.

"I didn't need saving!" Yue growled up, he too was swinging upside down; he flapped his wings in an effort to right himself. "Especially by you!" He groused at Ruby, as she let go of his feet, she smirked at him, as he started to brush himself down, and right his hair, "*From* you maybe . . . but never *by* you!"

Once he and Touya were safely back on the branch, Yue-Bella turned to Ruby, "You love what?"

Ruby paused in her smirking at the irate Yue, "Pardon me?"

Yue-Bella folded her arms and her wings into non-existence, "I . . . I . . . love . . . what?"

Ruby blushed and looked away, "I love the smell of your hair . . ." she grinned nervously, "What do you use?"

Yue-Bella rolled her eyes, "C.R. Moonlight for Moon Guardians . . . because we're created for it. . . what else? "

The cherry haired girl smiled, "I thought so . . . um . . ." Ruby paused, "That's not really what I meant . . . uh," she blushed even more as Yue smirked at her, and Touya tried to hide his laughter, she scowled at them, and turned to Yue-Bella. Clearing her throat, she spoke quietly, "What I really said was I love---"

But that was as far as she got . . . mainly because the tree they were in fell over with a loud crash. "ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!"

As three Moon guardians and one big brother tried to detangle themselves from each other and the tree, the evil Chiharu leapt back into her hiding place, a wicked smile forming over her lips. "And now . . . for the others . . ."

Spinel Sun wouldn't normally be doing this.

Normally, he would be locked away in the master's library, content in his pursuit of knowledge. Normally, he would be flicking through his sixth book by now but . . . he made a right turn and fluttered into the park, he dipped and picked a sweet smelling rose . . . but today was different, the Sun was shining at it's optimum, the birds were chirping in d minor, the sky was sky blue as per usual determined by the atmosphere, and there was love, or at least large quantities of oxygen, in the air. He smiled, as he neared his goal.

Kero-ette sat up and looked at her brother, both were in their large forms, and the Sun was shining. They were on the roof of Meilin's apartment block, Sunning themselves. "Why did I invite you over?"

"Because you love me . . . and because you have the better Sunning spot . . ." Kero crack open an eye, "Besides . . . I'm your older brother . . ."

"We're twins!" Kero-ette protested, she and Kero launched into an argument so fierce they didn't notice that the evil [and I guess you've guessed by now] Whoops card version of Chiharu somehow magically appeared and hide behind the chimney.

"Oniichan!" Keroberos yelled, he was right . . . in a manner, but Kero-ette had always refused to accept the idea of having Keroberos in any sort of power over her.

The stubborn guardian beast-ette growled louder, "Twins!"

"Onni---"

"Ohayo!" A deep voice interrupted them, Kero-ette looked up, Spinel Sun was hovering just above them. She smiled, as the large blue panther dropped a small bouquet of flowers into her lap. "I thought I might find you out on such a beautiful day!"

Kero rolled his eyes, Suppi had a crush on his identical twin //. . . little sister// he mentally corrected, Suppi fancied her, even though she was just him . . . only female . . . it made no sense, but then . . . he looked at his sister, who invited Suppi to land by her, she was the Sun guardian of the Whoops cards . . . he sighed as Spinel leant towards her.

"Keroberos-ette-san . . ." he began politely.

Kero-ette waved her paws, "Spinel-chan. . . We have been acquainted for over two months, please call me Kero-ette-chan. . ."

Spinel caught her paw in his, and smiled, "My dear . . . that name doesn't do you justice . . . in fact, the name Kero makes you sound like a frog . . . please allow me to respect y---" he glared at Kero, who had started to make gagging sounds, "What?"

Kero stopped suddenly, and patted his breastplate; he tried to look innocent, "I'm sorry I was just clearing my throat there . . ."

The evil Chiharu smiled as an evil idea began to form in her evil little mind; she waved her hands at Keroberos, sprinkling bright blue pixie dust on his nose. Spinel Sun pursed his lips and then smiled charmingly at Kero-ette, "As I was saying, before we were so *rudely* interrupted . . . my darling Keroberos-ette . . . I want you to know that I ---"

Keroberos sneezed loudly. "What?" He shrugged as both Spinel and Kero-ette glared at him

Kero-ette slapped him with her tail quickly, "Shush!" She smiled at Spinel, "you were saying . . .?"

"Yes, my dear . . . I have to confess that I---"

"EEERRRGHH!" Kero shouted as he spat a sweet into his paw, he peered at it, "What is this?!"

Kero-ette glanced at it, "Syaoran refuses to let me get as addicted to pudding as you . . . so he insists on giving me sugar free sweets."

Kero's mouth fell open; "There is such a thing as sugar free?" He pouted, "Isn't that illegal in some countries?"

"Yes, there is and no, it isn't . . ." she slapped him again, "Now shush . . ."

Kero rolled his eyes and turned over onto his front, his sister turned back to Spinel, she stared lovingly into his midnight blue orbs. Spinel stared back, "My dearest Keroberos-ette . . ." he said breathlessly, "I *must* confess something . . ."

"Yes, my darling Spinel Sun?" Kero-ette leant towards him, Keroberos' stomach threatened to mutiny, there was too much sugar in the air and not enough in the sweets, there was something seriously wrong with that . . .

"Your eyes. . ." Spinel took a deep breath, "Your blazing golden eyes . . . they haunt m---"

"They haunt me, my darling!!" Keroberos rolled onto his back and started to wiggle like a dead cockroach,

Kero-ette growled at her brother, "Don't you have something better to do?"

Keroberos rolled onto his front, "I would have . . . if your sweets didn't suck . . ."

Spinel shook his head, "They are good for you . . ." he turned his attention back on Keroberos-ette. "My darling Keroberos-ette . . . I . . ." Kero lifted his head, the strange feeling of impending doom rolled down his spine. The evil Chiharu frowned as she realised her little attack on them had been noticed, she looked for something to interrupt them. Kero looked at Kero-ette to see if she felt it too. She nodded at him, "I feel a Whoops card at wo—"

There was a bright flash of light as something fell between them, Kero-ette screamed and Keroberos and Spinel leapt up. There, imbedded in the roof, was a smouldering piece of the MIR satellite. . . Spinel looked up, "But the MIR came down years ago . . . what the hell--?"

Kero-ette shook her head, "Let's find Meilin . . . it's a Whoo—"

"A Whoops card, of course!" Keroberos yelled as he took off, "But which one?!"

Yamazaki looked around, the audience was primed . . . the lighting was perfect . . . his three favourite targets were in sight, Sakura, Syaoran and now, Syaotang were all gathered in one place . . . the Finger Of Truth was itching to be raised . . .

The café fell silent as Yamazaki started to walk towards the little cache of people at the back. There was a great intake of breath as Yamazaki smiled at Eriol, who smiled back and pushed back his chair in preparation. Meilin frowned and looked under the table as the music card began to hum the slow motion Olympics music. She looked up, and watched as Yamazaki started to raise the Finger Of Truth . . .

The sudden urge to go: 'NOOOOOOOoooooooo!' In a really slow way hit Meilin, she began to wave her arms and was about to start saying 'NOOOOOOO!!' But was grabbed from behind by Eriol who clamped his hand over her mouth . . .

The Finger Of Truth was poised; the lips of falsehood quirked into a smile then began to open . . . the dreaded words forming on the tongue of deceit.

"Did you know?"

Syaoran, Sakura and Syaotang yelped in surprise as Yamazaki suddenly popped out of nowhere, "ARRRGHHH!!"

Keroberos-ette flew as fast as her false form's wings could take her; she had to get to Meilin fast! There was a Whoops card at work, and it was a dangerous one . . . especially if it was strong enough to pull down space debris! She glanced at her companions as they flew desperately for their master, Keroberos and Spinel looked back at her, "Which card is it?" Spinel cried out.

"The Interrupt!" Called Yue-Bella as she and the Moon guardians pulled up with them, Yue was holding up Touya. He looked at Keroberos quickly, and then flew above him. Keroberos fell slightly, and groaned as Yue dumped Touya on his back, but as the angel explained, "I can't fly right with people!"

"You liar!" Roared Keroberos, "I used to see you flying with---KEPLLLLLAAAAAGHHH!!!" A flock of ducks flew straight into Kero's way, he and Touya came out coughing, Keroberos spat out some feathers, "I think I swallowed one!!" He called out weakly.

Ruby flew closer to Yue-Bella, "Is that what it does?"

"Yeah!" Yue-Bella called back, "It just refuses to let you finish a sentence . . . Clow created it as payback to Keroberos . . ."

Touya slapped the back of Kero's head, "What did you do?"

Keroberos growled, "Don't hit me . . . or I might feel like dropping off some dead---ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!" Another flock of ducks flew by, Keroberos went distinctly green in the face, "Okay, I definitely swallowed one that time!"

As Keroberos gasped for air, Yue folded his arms and shook his head, "You and your big mouth, Keroberos. . . it's always getting you into----WHHAAAAAARRRGGGHH!!!" Yet another flock of ducks flew by, and Yue was left rubbing his head, "That's it!" He growled, "That bitch of a card goes down!!"

Yue-Bella nodded at Ruby, who flew up quietly behind the irate Yue and plucked a struggling duck out of his hair. She patted it gently on the head and whispered, "Fly free, my feather friend!!"

Sakura stared at her ice cream, as did Syaoran and Syaotang, she looked at them, "Do you think it's true?"

"Of course it's not true!!" Madison said loudly, she took the ice cream from Syaotang and took a lick from it, "See!!"

Eriol snickered behind his hand and offered his arm to Tomoyo as they walked behind the troubled threesome, Meilin sighed and shook her head, Yamazaki had come up with a right gem. //Ice cream devils that eat you tongue indeed!// She skated behind them, and turned away to look back at the school, the clock tower was the only thing she could see, but still it was the thing that interested her. "Eriol-kun?"

"Hmmm?" Eriol hummed distractedly, "Yes, Meilin-chan?"

"What does E equals see are squared mean?"

Eriol frowned and paused, "It sounds familiar. . . have you ask the guardians?"

Meilin turned around and shook her head silently; "Yue-Bella and Kero-ette didn't know either." She sighed; "I guess I'm going to have to wait until the judgement . . ."

"MEILLLLLLLIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!" Keroberos-ette roared as she and the guardians dived toward them quickly. "WEEEEEEE GOOOOOOT MEGAAAAAAAA TRRRRROOOOOUUUUBBBBBBBLLLLEEEE!!!!" They all seemed out of breath and slightly bruised, Yue and Yue-Bella were glowering as they pulled three ducks and a robin from their hair. "What is this?!" Yue-Bella shook the helpless robin by it's feet, "What the hell?! Robins don't even fly at that altitude!!" Ruby wrapped her arms around Spinel, who whimpered and clamped his paws to his head. "Suppi?! Suppi, talk to me!!"

The smile disappeared from Eriol's face as he ran over to his Sun guardian. "What happened?!"

"He got hit by a---" Kero looked up quickly and stepped out of the way of a dead eagle, he stared at the ex-eagle and then roared up, "AH HA! You missed me!" He turned back to Eriol, "He got hit by a light aircraft's win---OWWW!! My tail!!"

Keroberos growled at Touya as the dark haired boy picked up his foot, Sakura ran over to Yue, "Are you all right?"

Yue took a deep breath and pulled an egg from his mouth, he glare at it, and growled, "The card goes down . . . it goes this far!!" He held up the egg and shook it in her face, ". . . And NO further!!"

Meilin looked at Yue-Bella, who was now calmly brushing herself down, "Are you okay?"

Yue-Bella paused to look at her, and then resumed her brushing. Keroberos-ette winced and motioned Meilin to look round the back of Yue-Bella. Meilin shrugged, and whispered to Kero-ette, "What?"

Kero-ette blanched as Yue-Bella peered at them over her shoulder coldly, and resumed her cleaning. "Uh . . . the card um . . . it uh . . ." she nodded, and whispered, "It put a propeller blade to Yue-Bella's hair . . ."

"But she still has all of it . . ."

Kero-ette winced again, as Yue-Bella spun on her heel and knelt by her mistress. She was trembling slightly with pure uncontained rage as she pulled up the end of her long pony tail, she showed the it to her mistress as she spoke quietly, "It cut off approximately one centimetre of hair . . ." She took a cleansing breath, "Mistress, I advise you to capture that card quickly . . . because if I get there first, you won't have a card to capture . . ."

Yue-Bella looked up as her brother put his hand on her shoulder, "Not if I get there first, sister . . . not if I get there first . . ."

Meilin looked at Sakura, her costume was also fairly simple. They complimented each other, both had light blues and pastel purples, Meilin smiled at least the magic girl card had taste. She tugged at the thigh high purple socks, glanced at the light blue shoes, and tightened the straps of the short skirt. Tomoyo helped Sakura on with her costume's hat, "Good thing I always have the costume truck trailing us huh?"

"Un!" Sakura beamed, "Meilin-chan, are you ready?"

"Hai!" Meilin showed herself to Tomoyo, "What do you think?"

"It looks . . ." Tomoyo frowned, "Unfinished . . ." Which was true, as the costume didn't have the usually fancy hat, or cape, or ribbons, or anything else that made it look really like a normal magic girl costume . . .

Kero-ette straightened her tail's bow, "That's because it's the Interrupt card . . . Meilin! We gotta come up with a plan!"

Eriol grinned at his cute little descendants as the girls climbed out of the truck, Tomoyo, helpful as always, had also brought along his and his descendant's costumes, "Now we are ready!" He clapped and rubbed his hands together, "What's the plan?"

Yue-Bella sat up, "We blast it all the way into next month and when next month arrives we blow it all the way back to the beginning of time, and then we invent a time machine and go back in time to the beginning of time and then we kick it all the way into the future then we jump on the Delorian and go back to the future . . ." She started to pant slightly as she raised her fist into the air, "And then we BOMB IT INTO THE STONE AGE!"

There was silence as Yue was the first to stand up, he clapped and rubbed his hands together, "I'm all for it!" He said brightly, "Let's go!" 

"Um. . ." Ruby massaged Yue-Bella's shoulders, and Touya did the same, "Yue-Bella. . ." Ruby began to rock the irate Moon guardian slowly, she motioned Touya to copy her, "Deep cleansing breaths. . . think of the full Moon. . ." Yue and Yue-Bella's frowns began to ease as their eyes slid closed and Ruby continued her chants, "OHMMMM . . . you will save your bombing into the stone age for your Sun guardian . . . ohmmmm . . . save it for your Sun guardian . . . ohmmm . . . wait until they least suspect it . . . ohmmm . . . then pounce on them with a ton of sugar or I guess in your cases, a dozen sugar-free diet regimes . . . ohmmm . . ."

As soon as Yue and Yue-Bella had Sunk to the ground crossed legged and chanting softly to themselves, Ruby murmured calmly, "I think we'll need a better plan than that . . . tell you what . . ." she looked up at Meilin, "I've got an idea . . ."

There was silence . . . somewhere in the distance, the clock tower's bell tolled.

"I do get ideas from time to time . . ." Ruby growled, "Don't worry . . . this'll be the last one for a while." She glared as Syaotang, Syaoran, Spinel and Keroberos breathed a sigh of relief, she tossed her head, and looked at Meilin, "What about the recital tonight?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the Interrupt card likes to interrupt things right?"

"That would be because it's the Interrupt card, dearest . . ." Eriol smiled.

Ruby ignored him, "Well; surely it couldn't resist interrupting the recital right? And when it does . . ." she drove a fist into her hand, "BAM!"

"WE BOMB IT INTO THE STONE AGE!!" Yue and Yue-Bella roared, leapt to their feet and shook their fists in the air, "And then REVENGE!!!"

Kero-ette nodded, "That's all well and good but we gotta be able to trick it somehow!"

Meilin looked at her Sun guardian, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, the card will have taken the form of someone who likes to interrupt others . . . if we can find that one person and manage to get him or her to fail to interrupt then the card should sho---"

"Then what?!" Interrupted Madison, which made Meilin bang her hard on the head. "OW!! What did you that's for?!"

"Just checking. . ." Meilin answered sheepishly.

Evil Chiharu watched the group as Syaotang grabbed Meilin's staff and hit Madison on the head again; he smiled unrepentantly as he pretended that he was just checking. The evil Chiharu's eyes narrowed, they were on to her . . . and she knew she would be foolish to go to this recital they spoke of but . . .

Yamazaki smiled as he greeted everyone, "Konbanwa! Are you looking forward to the recital?" If he would ever open his eyes, he would have blinked at the two strange people who were accompanying Meilin and her friends. The two very pale, very longhaired people raised an eyebrow from behind their Sunglasses. He smiled at them, "I don't think we've met . . ."

The two looked at each other and straightened their ties, "We're with the FBI . . ." the male tipped his head towards his partner, "This is agent Diner Scullery . . ."

The female agent tipped her head to wards her male partner in the same manner, "And this is Wolf Moody. . ." they leant down and looked at his closely as the said very clearly, "We're with the FBI. . ."

Yamazaki's eyes widened. . . well, the eyelids fluttered slightly, "Ah, konbanwa!"

The two FBI agents straightened and moved away with Sakura's brother and Eriol's . . . Yamazaki frowned and looked at Eriol, "Eriol-kun?"

"If this is about my choice of clothing or indeed anyone's choice of clothing . . ." Eriol explained quickly, "I have to say I'm very sentimental about recitals . . . I like to come dressed up."

"Um, no, I was going to ask about that girl who you are always with, is she . . .?"

"She's my---"

"Hai, hai!" Chiharu grinned as she interrupted the small group, "Takashi-kun! It's time for us to get ready . . ." she smiled at Tomoyo, "You too!"

As everyone moved away to get ready for the recital, Meilin blinked and stared at Chiharu. Her magic senses were getting stronger, and she could see that Chiharu was the one!

Tomoyo took a deep breath before stepping out on to the stage. While maintaining her usual 'Nothing fazes me . . . period' expression, her eyes darted nervously to the large assembled audience, her best friends were all in the middle rows. The two Moon guardians glowed slightly because of the whole Moon-reflecting-light thingy they had going on, Yue and Yue-Bella wanted to be present through the entire thing so they could bomb the card into the stone age, as promised. She sighed as she took her place centre stage.

Leaning forward, she spoke clearly into the microphone in front of her, "Konnichiwa . . . and welcome to the Tomoeda School Choir's Annual Recital . . ." she smiled as Eriol waved, " . . . we hope you enjoy your evening with us, my name is Daidouji Tomoyo. I will be leading our choir in---"

There was a loud bang, and a scream as the curtain suddenly fell!

"Tomoyo-chan!!" Screamed Sakura and Meilin as they leapt up from their seats, Tomoyo looked up as the curtain rapidly fell towards her. . .

[Commercial Break]

DrM: Hi . . . I'm Doctor Megalomania . . . I'm here to ask you, the ever patient reader, to join me in a campaign against annoying commercial breaks. I mean we can all tell that they are just there to add to the tension of a story and to make a few more bucks for the Author, when in actual fact they just annoy the hell out of the reader, and waste time . . . so I'm asking you, no! Pleading with you! Join me, Dr Megalomania, in my fight against annoying commercial breaks . . . [Points finger] This Fanfic Needs You! [Sits back in chair] That said, we now return you to your quality reading, please enjoy the rest of this chapter, and remember, no smoking in the auditorium.

[And now it's back to Cardcaptor Meilin]

"TOMOYO!!!"

Meilin pulled out her rubber ducky staff the same instant Sakura released the Sleep card on everyone around them. "O, key that hides the power of the Whoops . . . reveal the blunder . . . under our bathly bond . . . I, Li Meilin, command thee . . . Release!!"

Sakura put her hand on Meilin's arm, "Don't worry I can handle it!" She smiled, and quickly pulled out a card, "Windy. . ." she started but was interrupted by Yamazaki who for some unknown reason suddenly stood and flipped out of his chair on to her. She screamed, as the windy card was knocked out of her hand, "Tomoyo-chan! Move!"

But Tomoyo couldn't hear . . . mostly because she was fast asleep. Meilin looked up, the curtain was snagged on something, and was slowly inching it's way free. As Syaoran and Eriol dropped to their knees to find the lost Sakura card with Sakura, Meilin pulled out her cards, "Which would help Tomoyo?"

"Tomoyo-chan . . ." Meilin whispered as she glanced up at the curtain, if she didn't do anything . . . the curtain took a sickening lurch further down. It was just a curtain, and normally such a thing wouldn't kill anyone, but this was a very heavy and very dusty curtain and the fact it's railing was also coming loose wasn't helping the matter!

"Ano . . . ano . . ."

"Come on Cardcaptor Meilin!" Kero-ette fluttered out of Meilin's bag, "Stop ano-ing, and get ano move on!"

Meilin was about to retort when Madison suddenly grabbed her shoulder, "Hey! Stop talking to that mop doll and do . . . aw, forget it!" She pulled out her sword, "Fork's know my plate . . . release the---" But she too was suddenly interrupted, inexplicably by a tile from the roof . . .

As Syaotang lowered the comatose Madison to the ground, he looked up at her, "Use the What If card!" He glanced at Madison, "I'll take care of her . . ."

Meilin blinked and quickly pulled out the What If card, "Please work . . ."

There was a loud groan from the ceiling rail . . . it wasn't going to hold out much longer!!

"What if Tomoyo had fallen and rolled into the . . . the . . ." Meilin faltered, "Um . . . into the . . . the bit where the orchestra are!!" She suddenly blurted. "What If card, Release and misspell!"

The curtain and the raining suddenly broke loose and began to fall; it landed a loud thud, throwing up lots of dust and years of school-ness. "Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura cried as she leapt to her feet, "Tomoyo-chan!!"

Syaoran leapt to his feet, "Sakura! Meilin! The sleep card is wearing off . . . your staffs!"

Meilin and Sakura quickly changed their staffs back into keys and scrambled past the awakening audience. "Tomoyo-chan!!" Sakura screamed, "Tomoyo-chan!!"

"Are you sure you are okay?"

Eriol wrapped his arms around Tomoyo and held her up, as they waited for the ambulance. He smiled down on her; she had landed rather ungraciously in a bass drum, but otherwise was unharmed. "Hai!" She smiled at Sakura, who was all but trembling.

"Gomen nasai!" Sakura apologised again, "I don't know why the windy card didn't just stay in my hand . . . and it didn't return to me when it fell . . ."

Tomoyo reached out and took Sakura's hand again, "I said I was fine . . ." she smiled, "It is a good thing you and Meilin are both Cardcaptors . . . demo. . ." She sighed unhappily, "It's a great pity that we were unable to film both of you acts of your bravery . . ."

"Don't worry!" Nakuru beamed, "We got it all!"

Meilin and the others gasped as they turned to find, Touya and Nakuru smiling besides Yue and Yue-Bella who looked around for the card, Touya waved his camera, "What did you make me promise you, kaijuu?"

Sakura jumped up and rushed over to her brother, "Oh! Arigato, Oniichan!!" She moved back to Tomoyo's side and leant towards her friend's ear, in a dark, slightly evil voice she murmured, "I told him to tape Meilin if either of us couldn't . . ."

"Excellent!" Tomoyo murmured back in the same voice. The two laughed in a distinctly evil manner.

"Hey . . ." Syaotang spoke up, "Did anyone just notice that?"

"What?" Syaoran asked distractedly.

Syaotang held his hand up to illustrate his point, "The way the light sorta slanted . . . you know in that really something's-evil's-goin'-down-sorta-anime manner?"

"What do you mean---?" Eriol started but was interrupted by Madison's groan, she was the one they had phoned the ambulance for. She sat up and rubbed her head.

"What in the hell hit me again?" She moaned.

Meilin stood, "A ceiling tile . . ." She answered distractively, Kero-ette sat up and stared at Meilin as the girl climbed on to the stage. The hall was empty now, as everyone was out waiting for the ambulance and were making their way home. 

"What do you feel?"

"A Whoops card!" Meilin answered, "Let me get this straight . . ." There was a loud bang, but she ignored it and continued, "Clow created a card that ---" there was an even louder bang as the card got closer, Meilin smiled slightly as she started to get an idea, "--interrupts people . . . he did this because?"

Yue-Bella climbed on to the stage as well, followed by the rest of the group, Eriol stayed with Tomoyo and Touya with Madison, Kero-ette fluttered up, "I guess it was payback . . ."

"For what?" Asked Sakura, as there was another loud bang, she grasped her staff tightly.

Kero grimaced, "Well, it was because I had this little---" Yue scoffed loudly, Keroberos hung his head, "This little habit of . . . interrupting Clow and Yue . . ."

Syaotang looked around, as there was a loud rumble, he looked up to check if there were any more curtains to come down. "So what?"

Keroberos glanced at Yue, "When they were---" he stepped out of the way as a sand bag came crashing down, "When they were at *it*!"

Yue slapped the back of Kero's head, "So Clow created a card that would interrupt Kero's interruption . . . until he learnt not to do it . . . but then . . ."

Meilin nodded her head, "He learnt his lesson so the card was useless again . . . Clow didn't plan anything very well, did he?"

Syaotang drew his sword out; "You're only just figuring this out?"

Meilin shrugged, she looked up and said quietly to him, "We need to find Chiharu!"

"Why?" Syaoran called as he pulled Sakura out of the way of another falling sand bag, Meilin pressed her fingers against her lips, and pulled out a card.

"Butterfly, release and misspell!" She tapped it with the staff. As the staff grew wings, she held her hands out Syaotang, "I'll need your help!" He nodded and jumped on the back of her staff, she looked at Sakura and Syaoran, go find Yamazaki and bring him here!

"Return to your mistake's confine!" Meilin shouted, "Interrupt card!!"

The evil version of Chiharu's eyes widened as Meilin's staff swung into place, she couldn't believe that she had been foiled just like the late card. Only this time the card had put up a bit of a battle, but ultimately Meilin's idea of having Yamazaki tell a lie right to the end without being interrupted had worked. The card sighed as it became a card, but it chuckled mischievously as it ducked out of Meilin's way. Even though it had been Meilin's idea, Syaotang was the one who had grabbed Chiharu before she could interrupt Yamazaki. Thus defeated, the card landed in Syaotang's hand.

Madison made a big deal of it of course, "In your face Meilin! Look at that!" She threw her arms around Syaotang's neck, "Syaotang baby, you rule!!"

"Maybe next time, Meilin," Sakura put her hand on Meilin's shoulder, "You'll win it for sure!"

"Syaotang rules! Meilin sucks!!" Madison cheered, she tugged at Syaotang's arm, "Come on Syaotang!! Let's go celebrate!!"

Syaotang stayed where he was, he bit his lip and glanced at Meilin, as the red eyed girl sighed heavily and went to tend to Chiharu who suddenly appeared as the card was being seal. He turned to Madison and said, "You go ahead . . . I wanna rub it in a little bit more . . ."

Madison beamed and ran off, her stupid bright purple hair streaming behind her, Syaotang stepped towards Meilin but Syaoran, who had over heard jumped in front of him, "Go away!" he barked, "You've got your prize, now leave!"

Syaotang looked at him pained, "Please I need to talk to her."

Eriol put his hand on Syaoran's shoulder, "Come on Little Wolf, Meilin can fight her own battles."

Meilin looked at Syaotang as he lead her behind the stage, "What do you want?"

"I just want to tell you something . . ." He said quietly, he stopped when he thought they were far away enough. Taking her hand, he pulled out the Interrupt card, "You had a brilliant capture today . . . I was very impressed . . ." he smiled as he pressed the card into her hand, "Here . . . I want you to have this . . ."

Meilin blinked and looked at him, "Why are you doing this?"

Syaotang smiled, "Because I love---"

"SYAAOOOOOOOOOTAAAAAAANNNNNGGGG!!!" Madison's god-awful voice rang through the rafters, "WHEEEERRRRREEE AREEEEE YOUUUUUU?! COOMMMMMEEE ONNNNNN!!!"

Syaotang sighed, even with the Interrupt card sealed, Madison still butted in. "Can I borrow your staff?" He asked quickly, as she nodded and handed him the rubber ducky staff, Syaotang ran after Madison.

"OW! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!"

Meilin sweat dropped as Syaotang yelled back, "JUST CHECKING WE SEALED THE CARD!"
