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!! And I can't spell, let alone in foreign languages . . . so um, yeah, if anyone wants to correct me in Mexican spellings . . . please do so . . . oh, and . . .

Whoops! Didn't Mean To Do That . . .
Series Zero.Two
By Dr Megalomania.
[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--------
Meilin stared out the window blankly, it was raining so hard!
She growled to herself and looked at her maths book, they wouldn't be doing maths if it weren't raining. She looked up at the board as Carho chalked up some more problems. He was taking the class since Terada had gotten sick suddenly, without any reason. Meilin blinked, that what happened to their janitor. He just had gone on this inexplicable long-term sick leave. Meilin sighed as she glanced at Tomoyo.
The purple haired girl had finished her maths problems and taking part in one of her favourite past times, namely, staring at Sakura. Sakura was sweating a little at the prospect of her maths problems. Meilin sighed and shook her head; Syaoran was at it too, staring. Although, he wasn't staring at Sakura as usual, he was glaring at . . . Meilin turned and looked at Eriol, who smiled charmingly at her, "It's so wonderful weather!" He gushed happily.
Meilin rolled her eyes, "They're crazy, these British . . ." She turned, Eriol wasn't the one Syaoran was growling at . . . she blinked as she looked at Syaotang, he was resting his chin in his hand and smiling at her distractedly. He smiled and waved his hand dopily.
Meilin blinked and did the same. //His smile . . .//
"This dream . . . Who is it? Who calls to me?"
"Meilin-sama . . . it . . . is time . . ." Meilin blinked, as she feels her hand being squeezed, Syaotang gazes at the clock tower too. He smiles as he feels her gaze on him, he trusts her . . . "Do your best . . . and we will surely succeed . . ."
The clock tower bathes in a rainbow of lights, and the streams of Scarlet lotus petals . . . "E equals see are squared . . ."
Syaotang appeared to snap out of what he was doing instantly, and blushed furiously. Meilin smiled a little nervously, //They're crazy these Americans// She titled her head slightly, "Nani?"
Syaotang growled suddenly as he stared past her. Meilin turned to find Carho leant over her maths book. He smiled, "You're doing fine Meilin-chan . . ." Meilin blushed as he patted her hand gently, "But you must keep up the good work . . ." He leant closer, "And don't be fooled by all the good weather we have been having . . . or things might become a little harder for you . . ."
[Cue Senselessly Dramatic Music]
Part Ten: Watch Out Meilin! There's Not A Cloud In The Sky!
"I feel so at home!" Eriol gushed as they made their way home, he held his hands out to catch the pelting raindrops, "It's so nice!!" Syaotang rolled his eyes and shook his head, "What did that Janitor say to you again?"
"He said . . . don't be fooled by all the good weather we have been having . . . or things might become a little harder for you . . ." Meilin skated behind her cousin as he and Sakura skated together, she turned to face Syaotang, "What do you think it means?"
"I think it means we have another job for our brilliant Cardcaptor!"
Meilin stumbled slightly, "Madison . . ."
"Hai?"
"What happened to make you . . . so nice to me?"
"Isn't it a good thing?"
"Um, well yes . . ." Meilin began, but stopped as the rain suddenly stopped. "Finally!"
Tomoyo looked up from under her umbrella and sighed, "Gomen ni, Eriol-kun, but I think I like the rain to stay on that plain in Spain."
Eriol stuffed his hands into his pockets, "Awwww . . ."
A few minutes later. . .~~~
"Now this is heat!"
Sakura crowed happily as she pulled off her rain jacket, the sun beat down on the small group. Meilin smiled as she too pulled off her raincoat, amazingly, the rain clouds had cleared almost as instantly, and the sun was shining warmly. She looked up, it was all so beautiful! The park seemed to turn into summer, as the flowers all suddenly bloomed. Meilin skated ahead of the group to her favourite bridge and looked down at all the water lilies. She looked up as she felt two warm auras zoom towards them. Kero and Spinel sun grinned as they approached their masters, well; Kero did . . . Spinel followed at a more sedate pace. "Isn't it brilliant!!" Kero crowed, "It's so warm!!"
"Huh?" Spinel looked around, "Isn't Kero-ette here?"
"Iie." Eriol opened his arms and let his sun guardian land, "Why?"
"I tried to call her . . . she didn't answer . . ." Spinel sighed, "And I wanted to spend the day with her . . ."
Meilin smiled as she saw Syaotang's reflection near her own, Meilin laughed, "It's so very pretty . . . I hope it's a Whoops card at work . . ."
He smiled, "I hope not . . . I kinda want a day off . . ." He looked at their reflections, "Meilin-chan . . . I . . . you . . ."
"Huh?"
He dug into his pocket, and pulled out a flower, "This is . . . for you . . . Meilin . . ." He blushed but straighten, "I love---"
***WHOOOOOOOOOOSHHH!!***
"WHOA!!"
Meilin leant over the bridge's railing to rescue the Lotus as it floated in the air. She looked down as Syaotang and his assassin struggled in the water, she giggled slightly as Syaoran sat up suddenly. Syaotang's head snapped towards him as the little wolf calmly pulled a water lily off his head. A frog croaked as it jumped off Syaotang's head, "You did that on purpose!"
Syaoran calmly eyed the little tango, "Oh, my! . . . I appeared . . . to have fallen in the water . . . Whoopsies. . ."
Eriol sniggered as he and the rest of the group caught up, "Syaoran-kun . . . have we got a cousin compl---" He paused as he looked up, a snowflake drifted past his nose. "Snow?"
"Get out of the water!" Sakura shivered as she pulled her coat back on, "Brrrr . . . Syaoran-kun! Syaotang-kun! Before you freeze!!" Syaotang and Syaoran scrabbled out of the water, alternatively pushing and pulling the other so he fell back in again. Meilin shook her head and looked up, snow clouds were gathering quickly . . .
About five minutes later . . .~~~
"Okay, this is stupid now . . ." Meilin held on to Syaotang as he and everyone held onto each other tightly. It was so foggy, no one could see. They were stumbling around trying to find their way, Syaoran, Madison and Syaotang's compasses didn't work, Sakura couldn't see well enough to activate her key and neither could Meilin. She growled as she stumbled and fell into Syaotang's soggy, cold arms again, "I can't see anything!"
"Meilin? Is that you?!" Nakuru's voice called.
Eriol looked up, "Hai . . . Nakuru, where are you? I can feel you . . . demo . . ."
"Hang on a minute!" Above them, there was a bright red glow. "How's this?"
"Brilliant!" Eriol pulled Tomoyo and the group back a bit, "Can you jump down?"
Ruby and Yue descended slowly, Yue holding up Touya. The three landed, and Yue and Ruby glowed as much as they could to allow the group to gather around. Touya looked around, "Yuki-Bella isn't with you?"
"Iie . . ." Meilin looked up at him, "why?"
Ruby knelt by her, "We were just coming out of class when Yukito-Bella just took off . . . we thought she might have been with you!"
Meilin frowned and pulled out her phone, she pressed the Kero-ette shaped button, "Kero-ette?"
"Konnichiwa! You have reached cute guardian beast-ette of the seal's answering machine . . . please leave a message and you know I'll get back to you!"
Meilin blinked, "Her phone's off!" She pressed the moon symbol of Yue-Bella, "Yue-Bella?"
"What do I do with this thing again?"
Kero-ette's voice sounded faintly in the back, "You ask them to leave a message!"
"Oh . . . um . . . I am Yue-Bella, moon guardian of the Whoops . . . I am not available at the moment. You *will* leave a message."
Kero-ette sighed, "You really don't get modcons do you?"
Meilin frowned, "Yue-Bella's phone's off too!"
Yue suddenly spread his wings, "The fog's getting worst!!"
Ruby gasped and rushed over to her master's side, "What's happening?!"
There was a weird twinkly sound, and Yue growled, his eye twitching violently, "This sound again!!"
"You wouldn't have this problem if you hadn't stolen my bell!" Eriol folded his arms, "It would have gone to me!"
"And then Ruby and Spinel would have had to suffer?" Yue pressed his hands over his ears, "Wait! Oh . . ." He stamped his foot childishly, "DAMNIT!"
Wherever Carho was, he was doing the trick. The fog lessened slightly, and allowed the group to make their way home again.
By the time they arrived at Meilin's and Syaoran's home, they had been through a hailstorm, a snowstorm, a hurricane, a drought, three types of rain, a fog, a mist, and four nights. Meilin looked up as the sun and moon sat contentedly opposite each other, happily unaware that they had cast Tomoeda in half night and half day!
Syaotang called across the hall, "Hang on a moment!" He rang his doorbell, "I'm just going to get changed and then we'll figure this out together!"
"Hai!" Meilin called back. Syaotang's door opened, and a tall . . . grey haired . . . hang on a minute . . .
"WEI-SAN?!"
Madison and Syaotang jerked in surprise as Meilin and Syaoran face faulted, Eriol smiled broadly, and rushed over to shake the man's hand, "Please tell me you're their butler!!"
The man smiled broadly, and shook Eriol's hand, "Ci! Hola! I am Way!"
Eriol looked like he could barely contain himself, "You're Mexican?" Way nodded, "And you're name is Way?" Way nodded, and Eriol spun quickly, so way couldn't see him smile happily, he mouthed to everyone while waving his hands quickly, 'Mexican wave!' He turned again, and Way smiled, "Would you all like to come in? We have lotsa milk and cookies . . . " He spread his arms welcomingly, and announced cheerfully, "I have lotsa milk!"
Eriol's lips trembled, as he stepped into Syaotang's apartment, he looked like he was about to cry with the sheer happiness, he looked up at way. "Can I call you Milky Way?" His eyes lit up, and went all puppy doggy like, "Pwetty please?!"
"Ci, sénor! Come in, come in!"
Syaoran grabbed Eriol's sleeve and dragged him away from way as they left to go to Meilin's and Syaoran's apartment, the reincarnation was having far too much fun with Way, "Can I come back later?!" Eriol called out, "I have so many more puns to make!!" Meilin shook her head and glanced at Syaotang who was changed and at Madison, who smiled warmly and waved at her politely. Meilin shuddered, it was getting eerie and annoying now . . . she stepped in and looked around, "Kero-ette-chan? Yue-Bella-san?"
"We're in here!" Kero-ette called back, "Welcome back!!"
Meilin stepped into her living room and was greeted by the smell of popcorn and drying nail varnish. She looked around; the television was on, showing a programme she never even heard of. The commentator was ecstatic as he announced, "And next on MWWWF, Magic World Wide Wrestling Federation, Snape verse Thor! It's the Cold Lecturer Verses the Hammer! And it' a S.W.G's match . . ."
There was a squeal from the sofa, "Oh My Sun!! An' then what happened?!"
"By the moon, I have never seen such a mess in my life . . ." There was a quick giggle, "And I was just like . . . oh no, you didn't! You did not just touch my hair . . ."
Meilin stared at the two strange women sitting on her sofa, "Excuse me?"
The two paused in their gossiping, and nail painting, and roller curling long enough to look up at her. There was one with short bright gold hair with fire red tips; she beamed, her bright gold eyes twinkling. "Meilin-chan!!" She suddenly sprung up, revealing she was wearing a rather flimsy scarlet red nightie, she padded over quickly in her fluffy red slippers and wrapped her arms around Meilin, "Welcome home!!"
Meilin blinked and looked at the other woman, she had long blue hair with purple roots; it was looped just like the fight card's hair, and had silver ribbons holding it all in place. She smiled as she stood, she had deep blue eyes that were as wide as Yukito-Bella, she righted her glasses and smoothed out her chic silk blue Chinese style nightgown. "Welcome back, Meilin . . ."
Ruby and Yue exchanged looks, as did Kero and Spinel, and Sakura and Tomoyo and the rest of the gang all came to the same realisation at the same time as Meilin.
"YUE-BELLA AND KERO-ETTE?!
"It's our day off . . ."
"Your what?!"
Kero-ette looked at her sister, Yue-Bella sighed and explained it once more. "It's our day off . . ." she picked up a bottle of purple nail varnish and started to paint her toenails, "We have sick days and we have off days . . . today is our time to paint nails, watch T.V and stuff ourselves with popcorn and gossip until we puke . . ."
Meilin blinked and turned to Kero-ette, "And you have a human form because . . .?"
"One of Clow's more brighter ideas . . ." Kero-ette snapped her gum, and twirled a finger in her springy hair, she grinned at Spinel, "So I can move around and do what I want on my days off . . ."
Syaotang rubbed his temples tiredly, "But he didn't give you this power on your working days because . . ."
Keroberos-ette and Yue-Bella raised their perfectly plucked eyebrows in unison, and Meilin slapped her forehead, "Of course because he's Clow Reed . . ." Keroberos-ette and Yue-Bella nodded exaggeratedly, Meilin folded her arms and shook her head, "The idiot . . ."
"Hey!" Eriol folded his arms, "I'm not that bad!" Now Meilin stared at him and raised an eyebrow, he sulked, well, "It's true . . ."
"Whatever!" Kero-ette giggled, as she bounced on her heels, she picked up Spinel Sun, "What do you think?"
"I think Clow Reed was an idiot . . ." Spinel balled up a paw, and rested his chin on it, "I mean, he created Kero didn't he?"
Kero-ette giggled, "No silly, I mean me!"
Ruby sat next to Yue-Bella, "So what happens to Yukito-Bella?"
"Actually . . ." Yue-Bella picked up her bowl of toffee popcorn, "We merge on our off days . . . hence our appearance . . . so . . ." she smiled sweetly, "I guess you can call me YukiYue-Bella . . ."
Ruby smiled, "All right then . . . I will!"
Yue sat beside his brother, "Have we used any of our off days?"
"I don't think so . . . no wait . . ." Kero closed an eye and thought about it, he grinned, "Yeah, we did in the sixties some time . . ."
Sakura sat forward, "You have days off too?"
Kero and Yue nodded, "In fact . . ." Kero sat up, "I think we should call in a couple of days!"
"I agree!"
Ruby and Spinel looked at each other, "Do we even have off days?"
Spinel shook his head, "I dunno . . ."
The four guardians stood, "We want our Day Off now!"
As soon as the words were spoken the room went into this rather expensive looking special effect, with stars twinkling above and Clow Reed's huge magic circle glowed brightly below. Sakura and Eriol gasped as their magic keys suddenly floated up and away. The keys transformed into staffs, Sakura's taking on it's ultimate form and growing to the same length as Eriol's. Her staff pointed from Yue to Kero, and Eriol's crossed with the Sakura staff to point at Eriol's guardians. The four guardians stood at the north and south, east and west points, and their eyes were forced closed. Kero and Spinel were lifted off their feet, and Yue and Ruby's heads fell back, their arms falling loosely at their sides. The supernatural storm began to blow their hair around gently, and ruffled their wings.
Meilin gasped, "Can anyone hear that?"
The Music card broke loose and Sakura's mouth fell open as the Voice card forced it's way out, the Music began a rather fast beat magical tune as the Voice card started to whisper in beautiful repeating echoes, "My guardians . . . guardians . . . This is your day off . . . day off . . . knock yourselves out . . . out . . . until midnight tonight . . . tonight . . . Release . . . RELEASE!!"
"That's Clow Reed's voice!" Sakura stood; she looked around as the magic circle began to rotate. The moon orbited around and sparked a bright red as it stopped under Ruby. Magic engulfed her and span away from her. She dropped to one knee, and stood slowly. She looked at her hands, and turned.
"Ooooohhhh . . ." Eriol wow-ed as Ruby's day off form was revealed, Ruby moon and Nakuru were now melded, creating a athletic looking girl with wine coloured, short, spiky hair. She looked stunning in her deep scarlet combat gear, shiny black army boots, and a deep wine coloured choker with bright silver spikes on it, it matched the deep wine coloured bracelets with silver spikes around her wrists. She smiled, and tossed her head back to reveal sharp red eyes, and a confident smile.
The magic circle rotated again, sparking bright yellow as it stopped under Keroberos. The same thing happened again, and as soon as the magic snapped away from Kero's day off form, a tall, gold and red haired man stood and beamed, his bright amber eyes sparkling happily under gold tinted sunglasses. He laughed gently, and held up his hand in the peace sign.
"Ahhhhh . . ." Sakura clapped and grinned as the circle moved around to Spinel, he turned into a taller version of Eriol, without the glasses. His deep midnight blue hair was held in a tight long plait, it contrasted nicely with his pale cream and white Chinese style clothes and his wooden Chinese style shoes. He too tossed his head, to reveal deep blue eyes; he nodded confidently, raised an impressed eyebrow and looked towards Yue.
"Oooooohhhh . . ." Eriol cooed, and joined the others, as they waited for Yue.
The angel dropped down easily, and he turned, his long shiny blue hair waving in the magical wind. "Mmmmmmm . . ." Touya hummed appreciatively, Yue's day off form was slightly shorter than Keroberos', with long, blue, and in some lights, purple hair that swung about his waist, he was just as pale as Yukito, and had his smile, but Yue's seriousness shone through the wide, purple-blue eyes.
Clow's voice whispered again, in the same magical, giving-you-a-tingly-Goosebumps-feeling echoes, "My guardians . . . You are free from your pledges . . . Until midnight . . . drink beer . . . make out . . . watch gratuitous amounts of television . . . but most of all . . . Rock on, dudes . . . Rock on . . ."
The entire group gasped in awe, as the magic circle began to float off the floor. The guardians swirled their hands in the magic lines of the circle. The magic falling off their hands like fine filtered sand. They all tilted their heads back as the circle started to rotate slowly above their heads, spinning fast and glowing brighter . . . it glowed until the glare became to bright to handle, Clow's voice echoed again, "Now . . . Wasn't that cool? Huh? Huh?! Who's the best special effects magician in the world? I am just the man!"
As the glare faded away, Ruby moon looked around as her off-day form and the other's were revealed, "What's that smell?"
Spinel shrugged, "I dunno . . ." He looked around and face-faulted as he came face to face with Yue and Kero's off-day forms . . . which were now caked head to toe in mud, "What the hell . . .?!"
Kero grinned, "We kinda forgot to get changed since the last time we used these forms . . ."
Yue beamed as Ruby poked at his face, an centimetre's worth of dried mud cracked and fell off, he grinned even more causing more mud to flake off, "But the concert was worth it . . ."
Sakura stared incredulously, "What concert?"
Keroberos and Yue glanced at each other, and held up the victory sign, "Woodstock!"
Ruby grinned as she laced her hands behind her head, and sat back, she was happy to discover that her day off form was a bit of a tomboy, she shuffled up as Yue's now clean day off form, YukiYue, sat beside her and put his bare feet up on the table. He tutted and kicked Ruby's heavy boots off, "Manners!"
"Screw 'em!!" YukiYue-Bella jumped over the back of the sofa, and landed between them, the three put their feet up and shared a bowl of popcorn as they watched the Triple Threat Match between Merlin, The Wicked Witch of the West and the Tooth Fairy. "Narrrrrraaaaaa!!!" The three moon guardians roared, "Go Merlin! Go Merlin!!" They raised large foam hands in the air and swayed, "We will, we will zap you! Zap you! All the, all the way to Nevernever land!!"
Kero-ette rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the 3-D chessboard, Keroberos had just made a rather risky move, that had left his king up for attack, but if Spinel made the wrong move, and put his pawn in the wrong place, Keroberos would be able to achieve checkmate in approximately three moves. She shook her head and said warningly, "Spinel Sun . . ."
"Iie!" Spinel patted her hand, "Let me try something radical!"
Keroberos gasped as Spinel put his bishop in front of his knight, "That's a rather unorthodox move, Spinel!"
Sakura's left eye twitched slightly as she stared at the sun guardians, then at the moon guardians who were now singing to the Blackadder Theme tune, "Clow Reed, Clow reeeeed! He's such a complete weed! Clow Reed, Clow reeeeeed! Oh no, we're all screwEEEEEDDD!!!"
"What the hell . . .?!" Syaoran grabbed Eriol's collar, "What is wrong with your past life?! What in the seventh circle of hell?!"
Touya sighed, "And Clow didn't give them this power to have this every day because . . .?"
Syaotang sighed, "Clow Reed and idiot springs to mind as possible reasons." He looked at YukiYue and Keroberos, YukiYue was still dressed in his hippy gear from when he and Keroberos . . . who incidentally was dressed sunflower yellow hippie gear in stark contrast to Yue's deep wavy purple . . . they had been wearing it to Woodstock on their last off day and sorta forgot to take them off. YukiYue ran an exasperated hand through his long wavy hair as he explained, "We forgot, okay? . . . And before anyone says anything. . . me and Kero consider the layer of dirt to be protective!"
Ruby and Spinel were delighted to discover their off day forms, Spinel took a look in the mirror and exclaimed, "I look like Eriol?!" Keroberos had draped an arm around him and peered over his sunglasses, "You look like Eriol . . . dude!"
Spinel looked at him, "You and Yue look like Kero-ette and Yue-Bella's off day forms . . ."
Kero-ette came up beside Kero, "That would be because we're twins . . ."
"I'm her older brother." Kero smiled brightly.
"Twin." Kero-ette corrected with a smile.
Kero's smile became forced, "Oniichan!"
"Twin!" Kero-ette's took on a distinctly hard edge.
"O-nii-chaannn!" He growled through his grin.
"Tw-in-NA!" Kero-ette sniffed and put her hand on her hips, "Besides . . ." She motioned down her body, "Who's got the better curves baby?" She turned to get more popcorn, swishing her hips in that oh, so provocative way. Kero smiled good naturally, his sister could be so mean sometimes . . . he turned to find Spinel leaning to one side, his head cocked to get a better view of Kero-ette, purring appreciably. "All the curves in allllll the right places . . ."
Kero grabbed Spinel's collar, "If you value your life . . ." he growled, "You won't even think that about my sister . . ."
A few hours later . . . ~~~
Meilin stared out the window; it was still sunny and moony outside, she sighed, "So what do we do about this Whoops card?"
Keroberos-ette looked up at her, "Nothing . . ."
"Nothing?!" The new Cardcaptor face faulted.
"Nothing . . ." Kero-ette nodded and wrapped her arms around Spinel, she grinned as piggy backed her over to the kitchen, she yelled behind her before she disappeared, ". . . until tomorrow!!"
"What?!" Meilin shouted, she looked over at Eriol, who was engrossed in a poker game with the lads. Touya nodded to him, and passed the reincarnation another bottle of coke, he cracked it open, "We can deal with it tomorrow . . . it's not like it's gonna go anywhere . . ."
Meilin blinked as she marched over, "What happened to a great disaster will befall the world if I don't catch them all?!"
Eriol smiled, "Yeah . . . but I always say that . . ." He waved his drink, "I mean one time . . . heh heh heh . . . Yue went into this huge strop 'cause I wouldn't buy him the latest in moon guardian fashion . . . which incidentally was a plushie version of the sun guardian. I told him he could have Kero . . . but he wanted the stupid plushie so I said, I can't get you that plushie because a great evil will befall the world . . . he asked me what but I didn't tell him, and he never asked for the stupid plushie ever again . . ."
Meilin blinked, "I can't remember what I asked you before you told me that but now I wish I hadn't . . ." She sighed and looked around, "What are we going to do about that card out there?!"
YukiYue-Bella turned and sat on her heels, "Tell you what Meilin . . . even though this is against MGU regulations . . . how about I give you a hand . . .?"
"Brilliant, and the cards?"
". . . after the match okay?" YukiYue-Bella smiled, "It's MWWWF celebrity deathmatch!!"
Meilin sighed heavily and sat next to her moon guardian, "Who's on?" She asked as Yuki-Yue budged up and handed Meilin a large foam hand. "It's Hiirawagizawa Eriol verses Harry Potter for the right to wear glasses and having that hairstyle!!" YukiYue shouted excitedly, Eriol leapt up and ran over, "Really?! I'm so honoured!!" He gushed and swung himself over the seat, he materialised a large foam hand for himself and started to chant, "Go me! Go me! Beat the stuffin' outta Harry!!"
About ten minutes later . . . ~~~~
"Heh, heh, heh!"
"Shut up!" Eriol folded his arms and pouted, "I woulda won if Sirius Black hadn't come along and distracted Yue . . ."
Syaoran laughed again as the reincarnation pouted about his loss, "Awwww . . . are we experiencing a bit of clay-miniature-of-Eriol-comple--"
**SOCK**
Eriol waved his bruised hand as Syaoran lay sprawled out on the floor unconscious, he shrugged at everyone's shocked stares, "What?"
As Sakura tried to wake Syaoran, and Tomoyo scolded Eriol for punching him, Syaotang sat beside Meilin, he pulled another flower out of his pocket, a light purple lotus, "Uh Meilin?"
Meilin smiled as she accepted the delicate flower, "Is this for--" Keroberos-ette suddenly stumbled and puked all over the poor flower. "Meilin-sama . . .?" She groaned, "I don't feel too well . . ." the guardian beast-ette groaned again and passed out. A series of other groans led to Meilin to the dinning table, Spinel sat face down in a large bowl of ice cream, chocolate sauce and pretzels, Ruby burped loudly, before her eyes crossed and she fell off her seat, Touya looked distinctly green, and Keroberos looked like he was going to follow his sister into the icky underworld of puking. His cheeks puffed up one . . . twice . . . third time had him clamp a hand over his mouth and make a dash for the bathroom. Meilin looked at YukiYue and YukiYue-Bella.
The two moon guardians were eating away happily, pausing only to slowly pour themselves another drink, gulp that down quickly and then resumed their quick shovelling of food. Touya looked at them, his eyes struggling to focus, "Aren't either of you feeling the slightest bit sick?"
YukiYue and YukiYue-Bella opened their eyes to look at him, then each other, then the pair shrugged and closed their eyes again, all the time they were shovelling food into their mouth rapidly.
Meilin blinked, "Isn't anyone going to help me catch this card?"
"I'll help you!" Madison piped up.
Meilin stared at her for a few seconds before speaking again, ". . . Anyone at all?"
"Okay . . . so here's the plan . . ." Syaoran ran his hand through his hair, "We pounce on Eriol and tie him up and then Sakura flies him to the moon and then we leave him there to be abducted by aliens and if the aliens come back we tell them that Earth is actually the seventh planet in the solar system . . . and then if Eriol objects, we tell the aliens that he's a Earthman, and that Earth men are always so jealous of our planet which we will call for the time being Syaoran World because Earth is such a cold horrid place . . ."
"Okay . . ." Meilin butted in, "Anyone got a good idea . . .?" Several hands went up, " . . . That doesn't involve Eriol getting killed, maimed, and/or even crippled in some painful way, and then laughing in his pain stricken face, stamping on his outstretched pleading hand, then burying him in a satanic ritual intended to make sure he stays dead and then dancing merrily and singing, 'The witch is dead, the wicked old witch is dead' over his grave in any way . . ." Three hands went down, ". . . Or sewing YukiYue's and YukiYue-Bella's mouths shut . . ." Four more hands went down, ". . . Or filming me in infinitely Kawaii clothing . . ." Two more hands went down, ". . . Or getting more Take Out delivered . . ." Two spoons lowered sadly, ". . . Or being creepily and frankly annoyingly helpful to me . . ." One bright neon blue nail polished hand went down regretfully, ". . .Or indeed ordering a rematch between a certain clay version of a certain reincarnation and a certain lightning shaped scarred individual from Hogwarts . . ." One hand stayed up persistently, ". . .Or indeed a certain three headed dog verses a certain clay version of a certain reincarnation's favourite cute little descendant for revengeful and pure sadistically evil entertainment purposes. . ." Eriol lowered his hand slowly, and sighed unhappily. Meilin groaned, "So no ideas . . . at all?" She threw her hands up in the air, and groaned, "What if I had caught the card last night . . . before any of this happened?"
Eyes widened as Meilin's magic circle suddenly appeared under her feet. YukiYue-Bella scrambled to her feet, "Meilin!! The elementaries cards don't take holidays!!"
Meilin gasped in horror as her vision was obscured by magic . . .
~~~~It's just a jump to the left and then a step to the riiiii--iiiight, put your hands on your hips, and bring your knees in tight, but it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insaay-ay-ay-ay-aane . . . LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAAIN!!***
. . . the Tomoeda bell rang loudly. Meilin groaned and opened her eyes, "Midnight . . .?" She looked at her bedside clock, it was actually eleven . . . she frowned, why was the clock tower chiming for midnight when it was eleven? She closed her eyes and tried to fall back asleep, when she heard two familiar voices whisper urgently to each other.
"Think we should tell her?"
"About what?"
"About the fact we have our day off tomorrow?"
"Nah . . . She'll understand and I bet there won't be a card attack anyway . . . you know the Whoops cards . . . they love their off hours . . ." Meilin's eyes snapped open, as she felt the end of her bed dip as the large lioness jumped up, Keroberos-ette padded up to her, and pulled the blanket up a little high on her, "Besides Meilin will enjoy getting to spend a little time with us instead of continually running around the place after some stupid card . . ."
"Kero-ette?" The voices stopped as Meilin rolled over, and spoke again, "What happened?"
The two guardians looked at each other before Keroberos-ette answered, "When?"
Meilin shook her head and glanced out the window, "There's a Whoops card at work . . ." She slid out of bed quickly and pulled on her dressing gown. Yue-Bella stood, her long white hair falling to the ground graciously, "What do you feel? Maybe we should wait 'til daybreak . . ."
"No . . ." Meilin shook her head, "I've already been through tomorrow . . . and frankly it was too hard . . ."
"What happened?"
"The weather went nuts and we couldn't do anything about it because it was your day off, and then no one would do anything because they wanted to leave it to the next day . . ."
Keroberos-ette sat up, "That sounds like the work of the Mild Weather card . . ."
"The what?"
"The Mild Weather, it's a card Clow created to make mild weather which is perfect for flying conditions . . . but it went nuts one day when Yue and Keroberos were arguing over what exactly is perfect flying weather . . . which by the way . . ." She looked up at her sister and growled, ". . .is a warm late summer afternoon, when it's really hot and the insects are buzzing and the black berries are ripe for the picking . . ."
Yue-Bella frowned, "It's an early morning in winter, when the snow has fallen during the night and there is a perfect silence . . ."
"Summer!"
"Winter!"
"SUM-MER!"
"WIN-TER!"
"SU--MM—EEEER!!"
"WII--NN—TEEEER!!"
"Hai, hai!!" Meilin hushed them and opened the window, "Let's just go find it . . ."
Meilin flew to the school with her still bickering guardians; she stared up into the night sky. It was utterly clear, and the stars shone down all sparkly like . . . Meilin held her staff close to her chest and closed her eyes . . .
A thousand crimson red lotus petals filled her vision . . . she tapped the side of her head knowingly, "Butterfly . . ."
She felt herself take off from the roof, and look to the side, Syaotang waved at her and blew her a kiss good luck, she smiled as she looked to her side, she stared into her own eyes . . ." E equals see are squared . . ."
"Meilin?!" Meilin's eyes snapped open as she felt Yue-Bella jog her out of her dream, "Meilin-chan?"
She looked around, Keroberos-ette was carrying her, "Are you okay?! . . . You just sorta dropped out of the skies!"
Meilin nodded, "I'm fine . . . I just had that dream again . . ."
Yue-Bella squeezed her shoulder slightly, "Try to remember it . . . it may come in handy . . ."
"Hai!" Meilin nodded again, she pointed ahead, "In the meantime . . . let's capture that card!!"
Keroberos-ette roared her agreement as they all dived towards the roof, Meilin jumped off and shivered. She looked around she could feel *two* Whoops cards at work!!
"Cards! Show yourselves!!"
There was a bright light as lightening cracked, a Whoops card sailing in to the air. Meilin blinked and looked around for the source of the lightning, Madison came running up, "I felt a card!!"
"Me too!" Meilin nodded, "Come on!" She jumped off the roof and gripped her staff tightly as the small jester like girl bobbed on her small thundercloud. Keroberos-ette snarled as the card made a dash for the right, "Sister!"
Yue-Bella nodded and flew up behind the card while Keroberos-ette took the front, Meilin looked around, "If only we could find some way---!"
"Madison! Meilin!!" Eriol shouted up, "What are you doing here?"
"We're sealing a card!" Meilin looked down to find Sakura Eriol, Ruby moon and Syaotang all standing below, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm your rival!" Syaotang shouted, he pointed at her, "Meilin!!"
Meilin fluttered out of the way as the card made a dive at her; it missed her but ploughed straight into Yue-Bella's back. The angel-girl was caught off guard and she began to spiral out of control! Ruby instantly took off and caught her, "You okay?"
Yue-Bella nodded, and looked up at her mistress, "Meilin! You must seal this card before it gains enough strength to control the weather . . ." She glanced at the clock, "And before midnight!!"
Eriol levitated himself up to Meilin's level and Sakura followed quickly, "Anything we can do?"
"Sure!" Meilin pointed at the diving card, "Get outta the way!!"
The threesome ducked out of the way; as the card dashed towards Keroberos-ette, the lion-ette snarled at it threateningly, "Bring it on!"
The card gritted it's teeth and flew faster, Keroberos-ette tensed and prepared to jump up at it when . . .
"LEAVE HER ALOOOOOONNNNNEEEE!!! GRRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
**SHA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM***
The card twitched and smoked as it slowly slid down the wall, leaving behind a clean silhouette of it in the blackened wall. Keroberos-ette looked to the other side, and saw Spinel Sun fly wonkierly towards her, "Kero-ette-chan," He wailed drunkenly, "My love . . . hic! . . . Did that nasty –hic- Whoops card . . . HIC!" A beam of Ruby light shot out of his mouth again, and hit the Whoops card just as it staggered to it's feet.
"Ouchie . . ." The card gasped before keeling over.
Keroberos-ette smiled and bounded over to the very drunk Spinel sun, "Spinel-chan! You saved me!!"
Spinel smiled happily, "I'm so glad to be of service my love . . ." He bowed gracefully and promptly fell over. Eriol, Sakura and Meilin landed on the roof quickly and Madison and Syaotang ran over, "Seal it now!" Syaotang shouted.
Meilin nodded, and jumped in front of the card, "Whoops card, return to your . . ." She paused as the card sniggered at her. "Nani?!"
Ruby landed and put Yue-Bella on her feet gently, the moon guardian flashed her a grateful smile before shouting out, "Meilin! The cards don't respect a 'captor in their pyjamas!"
Meilin frowned at the card, "Make fun of my sleeping attire, eh?" She pulled out the Magic Girl card, "Let's see how you like this!! Magic girl, give me something to teach this card a lesson!!" The crimson magic circle spun around her quickly as she threw the card out, "Release and misspell!!"
Meilin opened her eyes and gave herself the once over, she frowned, "I'm still wearing the same thing!!"
"No, you're not!" Kero-ette piped up, "There are differences . . . just they are only visual to the card . . ."
Which, Meilin turned and found, was true . . . the card had stopped it's sniggering and stared at her fearfully, Meilin grinned, "Okay . . . you've had you're fun, now let me have mine . . ." She jumped up and drew her staff back in the air, "Whoops card, return to your mistake's confine . . ." The rubber ducky staff hit the invisible card point and magic streamed away, "Mild Weather card!!"
The card's eyes widened as it was sealed, it frowned and sighed and gave in easily. Meilin fell back to the ground and caught the card happily, "This is one day off you won't be spoiling . . ."
"HOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Meilin spun to find Sakura sobbing uncontrollably on Eriol's shoulder, "Sakura-chan?!"
"I forgot my videotape and Tomoyo-chan isn't here . . . I missed a card capture!" Meilin crashed down to the ground as Sakura sobbed even louder. Yue-Bella looked up at the clock, and smiled, she tapped Kero-ette's back, "Ten minutes . . ." Kero-ette smiled knowingly and nodded back. Meilin jumped to her feet, "Sakura-chan . . . There will be other captures, I mean come on . . . Clow Reed was an idiot . . . trust me, there *will* be other captures . . ." Sakura shook her head and ran over to Meilin, she grabbed Meilin's hands and held them close. "And you'll let me tape all over them?" Meilin nodded woodenly, as Sakura cheered, "Waiii!"
There was a sudden glow as magic suddenly wrapped around Yue-Bella and Kero-ette. Ruby Moon and Spinel stumbled away "What's going on?!"
Meilin smiled, "They're transforming . . ."
Magic burst away from the pair, leaving Yue-Bella and Kero-ette's off day forms standing on the cold roof top in their silken Blue and red nighties . . .
As Ruby and Spinel went gaga over Yue-Bella and Kero-ette's off day forms . . .
Meilin sighed as she sat down for a rest, "That was a nice job you did there Meilin-chan . . ." She looked up to find Carho standing beside her, //Hayaannn!!// She blushed, and blushed sum'more as the green haired man sat beside her, "Ar-arigato . . ."
Carho smiled, "I suspect you will face many other challenges . . . please try to keep your guard up . . ."
"I will!"
Carho smiled and looked over at her guardians, "I suggest that you also get your guardians home . . . they look a little cold . . ."
Meilin turned to see what he meant, true, YukiYue-Bella was shivering and allowing Ruby moon to wrap herself around the cold guardian, and Kero-ette draped herself over Spinel sun. Meilin nodded, "That's a good idea . . ." She turned to find the space behind her empty again, "Carho-san . . .?"
She blinked and tensed as she felt that second Whoops card again . . .
It's eyes narrowed as it stared at the Cardcaptor . . .
"Indeed Cardcaptor . . . many challenges . . . many, many challenges . . ." It smirked, "Or my name isn't . . ." It trailed off, and looked around. Deciding it wasn't safe to speak it's name out aloud here, the Whoops card leapt off the roof and ran all the way home . . .
