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.

[Warnings for language in this one. This is one huge giant excuse to be really immature although I have censored it a little to keep my PG-13 label, and I dedicate this to my Beta-reader, Bluegoo . . . who will probably kill me for saying *POP!*]

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

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--------

//I . . . am . . . so . . . BORED!!//

Syaotang stared at the blackboard, open-mouthed. Flecks of dust had long since gotten bored of playing chicken with each other because during the last hour they had realised that the boy's mouth wasn't going to snap close at any second. Syaotang sighed and tilted his head so he could stare at Meilin, she was slouched back in her chair; head leant back on the top of the seat. Her long black hair draped back, and the tip of her beautiful nose was just visible. He imagined she had her eyes closed, and was probably sleeping. He looked at that scary Sakura girl, she was defiantly fast asleep, the teacher cocked an eyebrow as he stared at her. He leant over her desk, and murmured quietly, "Kinomoto-san?"

That scary Sakura girl murmured quietly to herself, "But Kero-chan . . . it's not time yet . . ."

Syaotang winced and started to kick the back of Meilin's chair, quietly so not to be heard but enough to wake her up. Her head tilted forward, and she brought a hand up to rub her sleep filled eyes, Sakura and Meilin had been out very late last night, not capturing a card for once, but chasing after Spinel sun with Eriol. Keroberos had finally gotten sick of his flirting with Kero-ette, and had dumped three bags of icing sugar down the midnight blue cat's throat. Syaotang looked at Eriol briefly, the half reincarnation smiled brightly and waved at him. //Some people should be shot for being so happy in the morning . . .// A glimpse at Syaoran and a mutual nod, confirmed his inner musings. He turned his attention back to Meilin, the black haired girl turned in her seat and winked at him, mouthing, "Arigato!" quickly. He blushed and shook his head.

"Kinomoto-san. . . wake up!" The teacher shook her slightly, annoyance becoming evident in his voice, he sighed sharply, "Kinomoto-san. . . wake up!"

Sakura raised her head slightly, and blinked as the teacher's face swam into view, her face filled with fear as she drew a quick breath, "Oh . . . FUC---"

The whole class gasped, some actually screamed and clutched their ears . . . well, they would have done that even if Sakura had had a chance to finish the profanity . . . but she didn't since she DISAPPEARED IN A PUFF OF SMOKE!

Tomoyo leapt to her feet and screamed in horror, "SAKURA-CHAN!!"

[Cue Senselessly Dramatic Music]

Part Nine: Meilin, Sakura And A Very Naughty Gho—HOOOOOEEEEE!!!

Touya ran across the field chasing after Nakuru, the agile false form had just been added to the boys' football club, mostly because she was brilliant at it . . . and because she wanted to impress Yukito-Bella. Touya gritted his teeth, as she weaved to avoid his more direct tackles, he ran faster in order to draw level with her. Nakuru glanced at him as she smirked and head to the goal, "What's wrong, To-ya? Snow Bunny keep you up last night?!"

Touya smirked, "At least my snow bunny keeps me company at night!"

Nakuru laughed and winked at him quickly, "Oh, did I mention me and my Yuki-Bella have started our . . . "study nights" . . ."

Touya cracked at that and chuckled, "Oh really . . . and have you got to the 'let's not ruin this study night by doing any studying' stage yet?"

Nakuru blushed, "Not yet . . ."

He grinned at her, "Ha! Then I win!"

She shook her head and growled quietly, "If I were in my full form . . .!"

"KEEP IT UP!!" Nakuru blushed as she and Touya ran past Yuki and Yuki-Bella, the two waved at them happily, "YOU CAN DO IT!!"

Nakuru and Touya looked at each other and growled, there had been this growing . . . competitiveness between them . . . it was oddly familiar. . .

Yukito sweat dropped as he recognised Touya and Nakuru's sudden speed up. Yukito-Bella blinked and tugged gently at his sleeve, "Why are they doing that?"

"Because they are falling under the influence of the Whoops cards . . ."

"Eh?"

"When I first met Syaoran . . . he ran away from me at high speeds, and soon after that . . . he started to compete Sakura for my attention . . ." he pointed at Touya and Nakuru as they battled fiercely for the ball, leaving all the other players standing on the side watching them, head moved from left to right as if they were at a tennis match. "Sorta like that really. . ."

Yukito-Bella's eyes turned into small dots, "And now they are competing for our attention too . . ." she blinked, "Why?"

Yukito's eyes did the same, "I'm not entirely sure . . ."

They looked at each other and slid to the ground, sighed deep white clouds of sigh. "Aiyaaaa . . ."

**KAH-POOOFF!!**

"O KEY WHICH HIDES THE POWERS OF THE STARS . . ." Yukito and Yukito-Bella looked up in time to see Sakura suddenly appear high their heads, "REVEAL THY TRUE FORM BEFORE ME!!" Yuki smiled as he felt Yue transform quickly, //Catch her, Yue! What do you think I'm going to do?! Play football?!//

"I, SAKURA, COMMAND THEE UNDER OUR CONTRACT!! RELEASE!!" Sakura grabbed her staff, and breathed a sigh of relief as she felt her moon guardian grab her quickly, "Arigato Yue-sama!" She pulled out a card quickly, "Sleep card!!" She tapped the card, "Keep everyone from seeing us! Release!!"

Kero looked over his cards at his sister, she was smug . . . too darn smug for his good . . . he looked at Suppi, the blue cat's ears were flat down, level with his skull . . . damn, he was good too . . . Kero looked at his cards, he could go with the run on his hearts or the nice simple trio of aces . . . he looked at his sister as she slyly raised an eyebrow at Suppi's poker face. That Suppi was damn good . . . better even than . . . she shook her head, even better than her . . . Kero-ette swallowed quietly, //damn Suppi was good . . .//

Spinel sun looked at his cards dejectedly, //What the hell is going on?// he thought as he shuffled one card to the other side, but since it messed up his system of red card, black card, red card, black card, he moved the card back again. //Nope . . .// he closed his eyes as he realised that that messed up his system too. He tutted regretfully and put the card down.

Kero tried not to show his shock as Suppi laid down the ace of hearts, his beady little eyes narrowed as they took in Suppi, //He's either insane . . . or he's a genius . . . or maybe he's an insane genius . . . no, that can't be . . . he must be a clever maniac! Of course . . . that would explain his attraction to my sister . . . // Kero looked at his sister again, she was cleverly hiding her expression behind her cards.

Kero-ette on the other hand was thinking . . . //He's either insane . . . or he's a genius . . . or maybe he's a clever maniac . . . no, that can't be . . . he must be an insane genius! Of course . . . that would explain his dislike of my Brother . . . //

"Ano . . . ano . . ."

The teacher stared at Sakura, the class stared at Sakura, her friends stared at Sakura, the Whoops card that was giggling insanely to itself . . . didn't stare at Sakura 'cause it was laughing too hard. 

"Ano . . . ano . . ." Sakura hummed again as she stood at the front of the class trying to explain exactly why she had disappeared in a puff of smoke, "Ano . . ."

Meilin sighed as she watched Sakura, she really couldn't just leave Sakura standing there . . . the glow of Sakura's blush was beginning to eradiate the classroom. Meilin quickly thought about what had happened, //One . . . Sakura was sleeping. // A chibi version of Sakura popped up in Meilin's imagination and waved sweetly. //Okay . . . two . . . Sakura gets woken up . . .//

The chibi-Sakura was happily dozing until a chibi-teacher poked her with a stick. Chibi-Sakura jumped up with lots of flashing red exclamation marks.

Meilin nodded, //So far so good then . . . Sakura disappeared in a puff of smoke . . .//

**KAH-POOOFF!!**

The chibi -Sakura disappeared with an appropriate ball of smoke, leaving a very confused chibi-Meilin sitting at her desk surrounded with big blue question marks.

Meilin frowned, and rewound that entire daydream, //Sakura sleeping . . . Sakura wakes . . . Sakura disappears in a big puff of smoke . . .// Meilin shook her head, "No . . . That wasn't exactly what happened . . ."

Chibi-Sakura reappeared and promptly fell asleep at her desk, the chibi-teacher came back again and started to poke chibi-Sakura with a pointy stick, chibi-Sakura woke up and screamed, "HOOOEEEE!!!"

//That wasn't what she said . . .//Meilin shook her head, she looked back into her memory one more time, and smiled as she got the answer. "AH!! That's right!!" The class turned their attention off Sakura's almost beetroot red face as Meilin suddenly jumped to her feet shouting, "she said FUC---"

**KAH-POOOFF!!**

Meilin opened her eyes, and frowned . . . the sky was moving extraordinarily fast . . . she sighed as she realised that she was the one who was moving extraordinarily fast . . . "Awwww cra---"

**KAH-POOOFF!!**

She blinked as she opened her eyes again, she was back where she started . . . well . . . she was back at the same point where she had been transported to . . . Meilin pulled out the scarlet 'phone Sakura and Tomoyo had given her for emergencies like this . . . she stared at it, she had an idea!

"And it's fuc---"

**KAH-POOOFF!!**

She disappeared again, and reappeared.

**KAH-POOOFF!!**

"--King brilliant!" Meilin grinned as she realised what she could do . . .

"Someone's in danger!"

Spinel exclaimed as he looked up from his cards, Kero and Kero-ette looked at him. Kero sniggered slightly, "Would you call that your, uh, Spinel sense?"

Spinel who had never seen Spiderman, didn't get it, "Um. . . yes I would. . ."

Kero waved a paw at him, "Ah; you're just like Yue!"

**RING!! RING!!**

Spinel, Kero and Kero-ette instantly reached for their 'phones, "Hai?" There was a moment before Kero-ette spoke up, "Uh, that's me there, guys . . . gimme a moment . . ." She got up quickly and paced away slightly, "Hai Meilin-chan? . . . could you stop screaming at me? It's kinda hard to make out what you're saying . . . oh, oh? . . . okay, well, yeah. . . hmmm. . .? Yes . . . I should think that it is a Whoops card . . ." Kero started to lift the corner of Kero-ette's cards only to be slapped away by Spinel. Kero-ette picked up a crisp and crunched on it, "Up in the air you say? . . . only activated by swearing . . . ah that would make it the swear card . . . well, it's designed to stop foul language like that young lady! Where could you be to make you swear like a . . . falling to your death you say? . . . as we speak?! Oh my . . . that's . . . I quite agreed . . . well, have you got ten minutes? I'll be able to get to you in . . ." Kero-ette looked at Spinel and Kero, and put her paw over the handset, "when do you think we'll be finis---nisssss—ssssss . . ." Kero-ette's face went blank as she realised what Meilin had actually just said . . .

"NAAAAAAANNNNNNNNIIIII?!?!?!?!?!" She screamed, "Meilin?! MEILIN?!! . . .Meilin? Meilin-sama . . .?" She looked up, "The 'phone just went dead . . ."

Kero and Spinel jumped to their feet, as Kero-ette started to freak out. She threw herself to the ground and started to beat her tiny paws on the ground, sobbing her tiny little guardian beast-ette of the seal heart out . . . "Oh, I failed her! My first mistress since being released and I failed her!!" Spinel and Kero exchanged a look; they weren't exactly sure how to comfort her. Spinel made the first move and wrapped his stubbly paws around her shoulder, "It's okay . . ."

"No!" Kero-ette screamed, "It's not okay . . . I'm such a bad guardian beast-ette!! Now, I know why Clow chose Kero over me . . . I just got my mistress killed!! Oh Clow! Why did this happen? WHY?! WHHHHY?!"

**RING!! RING!!**

Kero-ette sniffed as she punched the 'phone, "I am in the deepest pit of despair on the bluest of blue planets, planet depression . . . please leave a message and if I haven't hung myself I'll try to get back to you . . ."

"Good thing my false form's a human teenager, isn't it sister?"

"Yue-Bella?!"

"Hai!" The dry voice sounded, "And for your information Meilin . . . thankfully . . . is currently resting easily in my arms . . ."

"So . . . what happened exactly?" Syaotang asked quite concerned, Kero-ette paused in her comfort eating long enough to look up at her mistress. Madison sat up, "Maybe it was a ghost . . ."

"A gho . . ." Sakura murmured, "A gho-gho-GHOST?!? HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Meilin winced as Sakura paused long enough in her filming to scream loudly. She fainted of course . . . Touya sighed and picked her up, and tried to wake her. Syaotang took the opportunity, while Syaoran was distracted enough, to move closer to Meilin. He sat beside her and picked up her hand, he tried not to blush as she squeezed back gently.

Syaoran scowled at Syaotang as the little tango pressed his hand on Meilin's. Eriol sat a little way off and sniggered, until Yukito suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, the reincarnation tilted his head so he could show that he was listening but kept his eyes on Syaoran.

"You should be stopping him right now . . ."

Eriol blinked, "Nani?"

"When Touya looked like he was about to kill Syaoran I always had to stop him . . . and since you and Syaoran are now the Whoops card version of us . . ."

Eriol pointed a finger at Syaoran, "I'm not kissing him . . . no matter how far this Whoops card thingy goes . . ."

Yukito chuckled, "No, that's Nakuru and Yuki-Bella's thing . . . you're supposed to be the sweet but honest best frie . . ." Yukito blinked and fell silent.

Eriol took his eyes off Syaoran to look at the snow rabbit, "Nani?"

Yukito blinked and shook his head, he put a hand to his forehead to steady himself, "I just called you sweet and honest . . ."

Lavender grey eyes widened . . . in fact tears actually started to form . . . Eriol's bottom lip actually started to tremble and his eyebrows almost disappeared under his hairline, "You think I'm sweet . . . and honest?!" He threw back his head, sucked in a deep breath and screamed, "WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Sakura, Syaoran, Meilin, Syaotang, Keroberos, Kero-ette, Spinel, Touya, Tomoyo and Madison all jumped as Eriol suddenly let out a wail of complete despair. "Nani?!" Nakuru ran in from the balcony, closely followed by Yukito-Bella.

"What is it? What happened?!" Tomoyo rushed over to Eriol's side and grabbed his shoulders; he threw himself at her and sobbed healthily into her shoulder.

Eriol threw his hand out and pointed blindly at Yukito, who was smiling nervously, "He thinks I'm sweet and honest!!" Eriol wailed, "I've never been so insulted in my life . . ." he blubbered as he sank to the ground, "I'm losing my touch, aren't I? Sweet and honest . . . why is this happening to me?! I've never done an inch of good in my life . . . why me?!" Spinel fluttered over to his master and patted his back rather stiffly, Nakuru shrugged and gathered him up into her arms like a baby.

She cooed, "Don't worry, I'm sure if you put your mind to it you'll be really evil again . . ."

"YOU MEAN I ALREADY LOST MY TOUCH?!"

After Eriol had been sufficiently assure of his most evilness in the department of evil . . .

"Okay, so that's the plan . . . we steal into the school at night and then we seal the card . . . that's great . . ." Yue-Bella nodded and wrote it all down.

Meilin blinked, "Why are you writing this all down?"

Yue-Bella looked at her strangely, then stood. "I'll be back in a minute . . ."

A couple of minutes later . . .

Meilin started to twiddle her thumbs, she looked around; Kero, Suppi and Kero-ette had resumed their poker game. Sakura and Tomoyo were sighing happily over her last capture, Syaoran and Syaotang were growling ominously at each other, Madison was ranting to herself, (well, actually she was ranting at Meilin, but Meilin had developed this super power when it came to Madison so that she could see her lips moving but couldn't actually hear a word she was saying) Yue and Touya were making out on the couch and ruby and Eriol were . . . Meilin looked back at Yue and Touya, "Oi! Get a room!"

Yue pouted, "But I almost never get to play . . ."

"I said get a room!"

"You're not my mistress!" Yue folded his arms and nodded, "Yeah, think about it!"

She face faulted, he had a point . . . //demo!//Meilin thought cunningly, //demo Sakura . . .// Meilin turned to Sakura and put on her saddest lost kitty look ever, "Sakura-chan . . . Please can you ask Yue to get a room please?" Sakura looked at her moon guardian who folded his arms and took on his 'I am the all powerful Yue' look, which looked pretty impressive even when he was balanced on Touya's lap. Meilin pouted slightly, and said sadly, " . . . or I may have to give up card capturing forever . . ."

Sakura's mouth fell open with her horror, "Yue! Get a room!"

"But she's faking it!" Yue growled as his sister flapped through the balcony window, she landed and started to brush herself off. Keroberos-ette raised an eyebrow, and moved one card to another position in her hand, "So . . . are we gonna go with it?"

"Um . . . no . . ."

"Damn!"

Meilin sat up, "What exactly did you just do?"

Yue-Bella raised her hand and waved the sheet of paper, "I just showed this to some random five year old . . . she said our plan had intricate design flaws . . . she says that it lacks . . . Zing."

Madison stood up suddenly, and Meilin winced, expecting a sudden outburst of 'Leave things to Syaotang baby!' instead, Madison smiled calmly, "I've got an idea, what about Meilin goes to the school, and asks the What If card to capture the card for her?"

Even Syaotang frowned with confusion, "Uh . . . Madison? Aren't you supposed to say . . ."

"I know . . ." Madison started to stroke her chin, and said in an indescribably evilly deep voice, "But I have get on the Cardcaptor's good side, and fool her into believing I am actually who I say I am when in actual fact I'm really Clow Reed's re. . ." she looked up suddenly, and pressed her hands into her hips, "HEY!! I'm giving away vital . . . life changing . . . plot twists here!" Madison pouted, "You could at least have the good grace to listen!"

Syaoran waved her quiet, "Shhh!" He and the rest of the group peered into the other room; "We're just about to discover if the Hair is actually real or not!"

Yue's head snapped around, "YOU PERVS!! FEC---"

**KAH-POOOFF!!**

A few moments later, Yue came flapping back through the window; he glared at each of them, before sitting down calmly on the sofa. Kero started to edge out of the room, muttering, "He's going to explode . . . back away, back away slooooowly . . . sloooooooooooowly . . ."

"MAGIC GIRL CARD, RELEASE AND MISSPELL!!" 

Tomoyo and Sakura leant forward eagerly to see what new costume the Magic Girl had produced. Meilin blinked as the Magic Girl card waved her little staff and disappeared back into her mistake's confine. The first thing she looked at were her gloves, well, half gloves, there were no fingers. They were blue and they had a very familiar deep blue jewel on the back of the hand, surrounded by a gold lining. She frowned as her eyes travelled up the tight white sleeves; on one shoulder she had a long white shawl. She looked down at her chest and poked at the deep blue gem that lay on her chest. She stepped back slightly and pulled at the rich yellow waistcoat, and the pale purple sash, she sighed as she looked down the long white coat tails, and the deep blue stones that hung off the ends. She lifted a foot into the air and stared at the deep blue stirrups.

"I'm Yue?!"

The Magic Girl card nodded enthusiastically. Meilin twitched slightly, and then went crashing to the ground. She quickly jumped to her feet, "What's this all about Yue?!"

Sakura stepped forward, and sighed, "It's even given you little angel wings!!" Meilin looked over her shoulder, yes, indeed, the magic girl card had given her little chibi-Yue-wings. "It's so . . . kawaaaaaaaiiiii!!!" Sakura sang happily.

Meilin's left eye twitched as Sakura danced singing a little song about cute little wings . . . she glanced at Syaotang who as usual was decked out in his grotesque orange uniform, and Madison who still looked like something out of the eighties. Meilin shook her head, and turned to Eriol and his guardians, "Why do I look like Yue?"

Eriol smiled, and looked at Keroberos. "Do you remember when you two were . . ." he closed one eye and tried to work it out, "When you were . . . one month old . . . and the ink incident?"

Keroberos glanced up at Yue, whose face suddenly went a deep, deep maroon, he hung his head, and his shoulders twitched a little. A dark light fell over Kero as he grinned evilly, "Do I ever!!" He turned to Meilin, "The Swear card . . . for once . . . is all Yue's fault . . . Clow created it because Yue . . . well, I had a nasty habit of throwing things at Yue . . . and Yue had a even nastier habit of . . ."

Syaotang grabbed one of his magic papers and slapped it over Madison's mouth before she could complain about the flashback sequence effects. Keroberos smiled, "Arigato . . . yes indeed, I remember as it were yesterday . . . the sun was shining, the summer was just ending and Yue and I were playing in Clow's study when it all went so wrong, so very wrong . . . so very horribly wrong . . . so very horribly . . ."

Yue slapped the back of his head, "Shut up!" He sighed and turned to Meilin, "What happened was . . ."

~~

"Ow!"

"You . . . pillock!"

Yue slapped the back of Keroberos' head, "Ow!"

" You . . . bastard . . ." Yue growled again, "You complete and utter bloody ingrate!"

"Look, I said I was –OW!- sorry!"

"You . . . Bastard!"

"I said –Ow!-  I said I was sorry! Ow!"

"You . . . twat, you're a complete and utter bastard!"

"Sorry!" Keroberos ducked Yue's hand, "S.o.r.r.i! –Ow! OW!- I said I –OW!-  was sorry!"

Clow watched this rather amusing display from behind his desk; Yue was red faced and repeating the same insults for the last hour now. "You . . ." Yue raised his hand to strike Keroberos' head again.

"That's enough Yue!"

Yue blushed and fell silent. Keroberos sat up, and rubbed his head, "Thank you, master Clow!"

Clow shook his head, "Yue . . . since when did you have such potty mouth?"

Keroberos snorted, "He said potty!"

Clow shook his head, Yue and Keroberos were only one month old, but still . . . Keroberos was still very immature and Yue was . . .

"You bastard!"

. . . swearing like a rummed up pirate from the south seas, Clow tried to contain his laughter as he realised that despite his outwardly elegant appearance, Yue could be as coarse as. . .

"You complete and utter pillock!"

. . . yes, as coarse as that. . . Clow smiled as he stood, and walked around his desk. Keroberos and Yue had been playing in Clow's study and. . .

"OW!"

. . . and Keroberos, who had developed this rather annoying habit of throwing things at Yue, picked up a bottle of Clow's favourite purple ink and. . .

"Bastard!"

"Ow!"

"Oh, did I forget something?" Yue pressed a finger against his lips thoughtfully, "Oh yeah, BASTARD!"

"OW!!!" Keroberos ran behind Clow, "Master . . . make him stop it!"

Clow glanced down the lion, then back up at Yue. Yue's irritation began with the fact he now had a large splodge of purple hair plastered to his forehead. "Yue, sweetie . . ." Clow held out his arms and swayed from side to side, ". . . moonlight of my life . . . come to Clow-y. . ."

"The bloody bastard pillock ruined my fecking hair with his fecking ink bottle and now the stupid motherfecking son of a bitch won't say sorry for bloody throwing the fecking damn bottle of inky shite at my fecking haaaaaaaiiiiiirrr. . ." Yue wailed as he dived into Clow's embrace. Clow's eyes widened then shrank to the size of tiny, icky dots, as he pulled back to look at Yue.

"Where did you learn such language?" Clow blinked in confusion.

"What the hell do you mean?"

"Do you even know you're swearing?" Clow shook his head, "What if I had a card that could make you stop swearing? What would you do then?"

~~

". . . and that's why the Swear card was created. . ."

Meilin shook her head, "At least Clow wasn't being stupid this time . . ." Meilin smiled, her usual determined Meilin look came over herself and she held up her staff eagerly, "Anyway, I want to get this over and done with now!"

Madison patted her on the shoulder, "And I'm with you!"

Meilin sweatdropped, "Uh . . . Madison . . . you're . . ."

"On your side as always, Meilin!"

"No . . ." Meilin's sweatdrop grew larger, "You're . . ."

"With you until the end!" Madison raised her fist in a patriotic wave.

The size of the sweat drop was now so large; Meilin fell to the ground with the weight of it. She quickly scrambled to her feet. "No, I mean you're supporting me?"

Madison wrapped her arms around Meilin, and hugged her briefly. As Meilin stiffened at the unexpected, and frankly completely out of character affection, Madison grinned evilly in the knowledge her face was hidden from everyone else.

Spinel looked up suddenly, "I sense evil being done!"

Madison's evil smirked dropped instantly as Kero laughed, "is that your Spinel sense again?"

"Why, um . . . yes . . ."

Kero waved his paw at Spinel, "Ah, you're just like Yue!"

"Fork's know my plate, release the salad!"! Syaotang called as he sped after Meilin, the bright green glow of his board struck out, "Meilin, it's that way!"

"Now, Yue!!" Meilin called out, grasping her staff quickly. Yue nodded and, like the perfect bait he was and the deep foul mood he was in, turned and ran down the corridor, yelling his head off.

Meilin grinned as she bounce down the corridor after the card, the tweed-wearing, brief case carrying, fox network, Nelvana censor ran after Yue who was screaming a string of profanities at the top of his lungs. Their plan was working! All they had to do was round one more corner . . . and then the rest of the group carefully hidden, ready to pounce on the card and wrestle it to the ground. Meilin smiled, it had been Madison's idea and this made Meilin hopeful. Maybe it meant that Madison had stopped hating—

The card suddenly stopped in its Armani suede shoes and spun the other way. It chuckled evilly as the hidden Cardcaptors pounced on the wrong person. Yue screamed an even longer string of profanities as Meilin spun on her foot.

"IIE!!" She yelled, "YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!!"

The Swear card smirked at her, almost daring her to try and stop it. Meilin came to a stop as it disappeared again; it's true form hiding away again. Syaotang jogged up behind her, "Meilin?"

"It knew what our plan was! Grrr!" Meilin held her staff tighter, "I'm going to catch this card . . . I've been at this card capturing lark for too long now . . . I'm going to catch this card!" She sank to the floor and took out what cards she had; she set them out in front of her. Meilin's eyebrows knotted as she thought hard about what she could use, "Right, it's time for Meilin-chan to attack. . ." she muttered encouragingly to herself, "I've got to do my best. . ."

"We don't have time for a card reading, Meilin!"

"I am going to catch this card," She looked up at him, "Even if it takes all night, I am catching it now!"

Syaotang's amber eyes widened then softened, he sank to his knee beside her and picked up her hand, he blushed slightly, "I know you will, Meilin-chan . . ." he blinked and pulled of his hideous orange hat modestly, "I . . . love . . ."

***WHOOOOOOOOOOSHHH!!***

Meilin blinked as Syaotang suddenly disappeared from sight and Eriol came staggering past her, clutching his stomach, as he nearly laughed himself sick. "Syaoran-kun!" He called; Meilin turned her head to find Syaoran holding Syaotang down. Eriol crouched down beside the growling tango and wolf, "Okay, okay . . . oooookay . . . Syaoran let him go . . ." Eriol sniggered, "And let him say what he was going to say to Meilin . . . then . . . " he made a sweeping motion with his hand, "You can do it again because I don't think I caught it on videotape!"

Another sweatdrop threatened to tip Meilin over, //Syaoran-kun really doesn't like Syaotang-kun . . . I wonder why?// Meilin shook her head and returned to her cards, she had the What If, the Butterfly, the Magic Girl, the Hole, the Lost, the . . . she looked back at the Lost . . . and then at the Hole . . . //maybe . . .// she thought //. . . just maybe . . . //

Meilin stood and picked up her cards, "Come on cards, you might not be the brightest of the bunch . . . but . . ." she held them closer, "You're gonna be my cards . . ."

"Meilin-chan?" Sakura jogged up to her, "Meilin-chan! Do you have an idea now?"

Meilin's eyes narrowed as she tapped Sakura on the nose with her cards, "Of course . . ." she said coyly, "Li Meilin always has good ideas . . ." she winked, and folded her arms behind her back, "Come on Sakura-chan . . ." leaning forward, she whispered, "Let's capture that card!!"

SoMeTiMe LaTeR ~~~~

Syaotang took one last sweeping look around the school, he sighed and tugged his sword away. Meilin had caught the card using a surprisingly brilliant manoeuvre, she had cast a special spell which made the stupid Swear card work itself into such a lather it keeled over and lay on the floor twitching. He sighed as he remembered the look of triumph on her face as she brought her staff of righteousness down on the mischievous--- 

He turned his head slowly as he heard the deep whirr of a camera at work. "Don't you ever stop?!"

Sakura looked from behind her camera, "I thought we already had this conversation . . ."

"I know . . . but you continually amaze me . . ." he sighed and looked around again. Meilin and everyone else had left to get some well deserved rest, including Madison . . . who rather shockingly and distinctly out of character, offered to walk Meilin home . . . although, Syaotang grimaced he was sure he had heard her mutter, "You fools!" Before she broke into a sustained five minute long, "OH HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO!!!"

Sakura smiled, "So you almost told her . . ."

"I was going to say, Meilin I love your determined spirit . . . I dunno what you think I was going to say . . ."

Sakura shook her head, "If you don't tell her, she'll never know . . . or at least that's what happened between me and Syaoran . . ."

Syaotang growled, "This isn't the Clow card saga . . . this whole Whoops card business is an entirely different thing!"

"Sure it is . . ."

"It is!" He insisted, "Just because there are some minor similarities . . ."

"Is that including or excluding Kero-ette . . . and Yue-Bella . . . and the Whoops book . . . oh, and Carho . . . and Meilin being the tricked Cardcaptor . . . and you, the little tango who's the clan head . . . and . . ."

"I've got your point, and that's all coinkidinks!" He shook his head, "We're completely different!"

Sakura nodded knowingly, "Sure it is."

He grabbed his head, "Stop saying that!"

"Why not?"

"Because it's not true!"

"Sure it isn't . . ."

"ARRRGGGGHHH!!!" He spun on his foot and ran off. Sakura sighed happily as she caught it all on tape, he was being so cute about being in love with her dear friend Meilin-chan.

Meilin blinked as she watched Syaotang run off at high speeds, she glanced over her shoulder, "What do you think happened?"

Tomoyo sighed happily, she knew what they had said . . . mostly because of the hours she had spent taping Sakura through windows, Tomoyo had become an expert lip-reader. //I think I'll call this Kawaii Sakura-chan Makes MatchMaker!// "Oh ho ho ho ho!"

"Huh?" Meilin blinked again as Tomoyo laughed quietly, "Nani?"

"Nothing."

"Demo . . ." Meilin sighed sharply, "You are a strange girl . . ." she tightened her grip on her staff as they fluttered up and down slightly, she gazed after Syaotang, as she thought about the day, //Just like that Madison girl . . . I wonder what was wrong with her today . . . why was she being so . . . nice?//

Syaotang came to a stop. It was like someone had dropped ice cubes down his back, "Brrrr!!" He shivered, "I sense . . ." he pulled out his Rasiban board, it glowed deeply, "I'm right . . . there's a Whoops card nearby!"

He gasped as a hand touched him on the shoulder, "Kinda jumpy, ain't ya?"

He looked up, Carho smiled down at him, "It's okay . . . I'm sorry I missed the main event . . . I'm sure Meilin was fine . . ."

"What do you want?"

"So suspicious Little Tango . . ." Carho smiled that maddening smile again, "I just wanted to tell you . . ." he leant down, green hair falling over his shoulder, "You're right . . ." Carho winked, "There is a Whoops card at work nearby . . ."

Syaotang opened his mouth to answer when someone did it for him, "Well, there's no need to worry then!"

Madison stepped out and held up her own Rasiban board. It too was glowing brightly, "Because me and Syaotang are here . . . and we'll be catching all the card for ourselves!"

Syaotang blinked, and then nodded, "That's right, we'll be standing side by side with Meilin . . . together we'll take on every card . . . and win!"

Carho smiled and nodded, "Then there is no need to worry . . ." he smiled, then stepped to the side quickly. Sakura was filming away happily, "Unless you count this disturbed little girl . . ." he pointed out the window, "And her other disturbed little friend . . ."

Syaotang and Madison jerked in surprise, Carho waved at Meilin, who went into full Hayaannn mode. Sakura Hayaannned herself to the moon, as she captured Meilin's Kawaii Hayaannn face, and Tomoyo did the same thing as she captured Sakura's Hayaannn face. Meilin squeaked and almost fell off her staff as she realised Sakura was almost falling out the window, leaning out to get the best possible shot.

"Sa-Sakura-chan!" Meilin blushed, "Stop it!!"

Syaotang watched all of this and thought, //Strange crazy girls . . . except Meilin, but Meilin's adorable . . . // his eye twitched, //I didn't just think that, even if it's true!// he shook his head and looked down, the Rasiban stopped glowing. He sighed, and looked around. Madison was halfway down the corridor, her Rasiban had also stopped glowing, but . . . he squinted; that would be because she had taken out the batteries . . . he shrugged, she had always had had problems with her Rasiban.

He turned and looked down the corridor, Carho was sweeping slowly and was about half way down the corridor. Syaotang's eyes narrowed, Carho was far too a suspicious character . . . maybe *HE* was the Whoops card Syaotang's Rasiban board went A.W.O.L. about . . .
