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! 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!!

"Go!"
"But—"
"No 'but's, I want to clean the house!" Syaoran bristled, as he shoved Meilin out of the apartment, not even Wei lifted a finger to protest. Meilin felt tears prickle her red eyes, not only had Sakura and Tomoyo been busy, Syaotang refused to come out of his 'meditations', Eriol and his family of guardians were off somewhere unreachable, and Yukito-Bella regretfully shrugged and had said that she had to get some things done around her own house. Meilin sighed and picked up Mockery, "They've forgotten . . ." She murmured into his soft fur, she closed her eyes and pulled out her key, calling forward the Butterfly card to fly her to the park where she could walk Mockery, "I can't believe they forgot. . ." Meilin sniffled, "It's my birthday . . ."

Trust in me,
What have we got to lose? Oh, what the hell!
Come on, let's go!
Come on! With me . . .
Cardcaptor Meilin!
"Master?"
Eriol Mark Two glanced up from his evil tea. "Yes, my dearest Suppilita?"
Spinellita frowned, "My name's---"
"I know, I know . . . but I do like to make sure everyone gets in their quota of catchphrases . . ."
"Ahem," The small blue cat-alita sighed and shook her head, "Start again?"
Eriol Mark Two supped his evil tea, "Please."
"Master?"
Eriol Mark Two glanced up from his evil tea. "Yes, my dearest Spinellita?"
"What will be your plan today? That girl, Meilin is growing stronger . . . and you haven't even dyed Eriol's hair pink!"
"That is unfortunately true . . ." Eriol Mark Two frowned, and nodded, "Well . . . I've got a plan that could change that . . ."
"And then Eriol?"
"I was talking about Eriol actually . . ." Eriol Mark Two resumed his sewing, and shrugged, "As for Meilin . . ." He shrugged again, Ehhhh . . . something'll come up . . . in fact, it'll come bounding through the door any minute now . . .
The door burst open, and in a strangely familiar and repeated way, Rubix Luna . . . evil double of Ruby Moon . . . bounded in, in his false form. I think I'll enjoy pretending to be a teenager . . . Rubix's eyes narrowed, as he pressed a finger against his cheek, I got to go to the mall with Christie and Christie was just like 'Did you hear about Mary?!' and I was like, 'No!' and Christie was like, 'Oh My God, you didn't hear about Mary?!' and then I was like, 'Noooo!!' and then Christie was like, 'Oh my god, I can't believe you haven't heard about Mary!!' and I was like, 'I know, I'm like *soooooo* left out of the loop!' and then Christie was like, 'Well, yeah!! So anyway . . . I went to the mall with Mary and Mary was like, "Did you hear about Betty?" and then I was like, "No" and then Mary was like, "Oh my God, you didn't hear about Betty?!" and I was like, "Nooo!!" and then . . ."
Nukara trailed off as he blinked and found that Eriol Mark Two and his sister had left the room. The air headed guardian pouted and flipped open his mobile, the speed dial connected him almost instantly to the other line, "Oh my god!! Relena? That was like *one* *whole* ring, what were you doing so far away from your phone?! . . . really? Oh my god, well you'll have to dish the dirt later, let me tell what I heard today! Yeah well, I heard it from Christie and Christie heard it from Mary and Mary heard it from Betty and Betty heard it from you so it like *has* to be true!"
Part Sixteen:
Happy Birthday, Meilin, and Many Happy Returns!
"SUUUUUUUUR-PRIIIISSSSEEE!!!!!"
Meilin jumped ten feet in the air . . . literally, the girl was still using her Bounce card . . . she came back to earth with a bump, and gapped in shock at the scene, as Mockery barked and yapped excitedly as a shower of ticker-tape and balloons floated down around them. Sakura and Tomoyo grinned from behind their cameras, Syaotang looked at her in that weird, 'I'm-a-little-worried-but-I-don't-want-you-to-know' look of his, before blushing slightly. Kero-ette grinned and helped her mistress to her feet.
"Oh come on . . . you didn't think we'd forget your birthday, did you?"
The black haired girl, still recovering from her heart attack nodded numbly. Kero-ette frown, her short gold and red, off duty form's hair tossing violently as she chuckled, "Meilin, you're our star, the sun and Moon to me and Yue-Bella!!" She glomped her favourite mistress, "Like we'd forget such a thing . . . besides. . ." She ran off quickly, "It's a brilliant excuse to have junk food around the place—"
"-- Let someone else feel their age –" Yue grumbled, his last birthday had been a farce with Kero and Sakura conspiring with Touya to give him the seemingly most random birthday party of the year, they'd even come up with a Theme Name for the decorations . . . Hip-hip-Yue!! //Oh yeah . . .// Yue thought sarcastically, //Left me on a complete happily happy little Cloud Nine . . .//
"-- Give you a complete new make over for the birthday, because birthday girls neeeeeeed new costumes . . . –" Sakura and Tomoyo clasped hands and sighed happily.
"-- Find dark little corners and make out with your favourite little gold sunbear –" Spinel muttered into Kero-ette's ear, making the gold eye girl giggle.
"--Gossip like there's no tomorrow with old friends over new drinks –" Ruby grinned and linked arms with Touya and Yue and Yue-Bella, dragging them over a table.
Eriol beamed happily, as he linked arms with both his favourite little relatives, "Not to mention it's always a good time to play pranks on---"
"--On your favourite little reincarnations . . ." Eriol Mark Two beamed from the doorway, Meilin spun to find the blue haired boy Mark two grinning with Nukara. He smiled patronisingly as Eriol started to growl at him, and Sakura narrowed her eyes, moving closer to Syaoran. He looked randomly mused as he hum, "Whaaaat?" He shrugged, "I just came to ask for a cup of milk. . ."
Eriol huffed as soon as the door slid shut, "I hate him, I hate him, IhatehimIhatehimIhatehim, I HATE HIM!"
The others giggled slightly despite the fact Eriol Mark Two was a creepy little bugger, Tomoyo grabbed Eriol's arm and dragged him towards the punch bowl to cheer him up, Sakura grabbed Meilin's arm insisting that:
"It's time to change into your birthday costume!!" Sakura turned to Meilin with stars in her eye, "You never know. . . you might have an exciting adventure, like having to transform a card or something!!"
Syaoran shook his head, and sat by the couch as Syaotang sat. They stared at each other, content just to glare like there was no tomorrow, each having their own little inner monologue. Kero-ette grinned as she bounced in from the kitchen, thanking Wei on her way out. The man just beamed at her, and turned back to his own doppelganger, to continue discussing their theories of saving world peace . . . or how to cook pie. . . I forget.
Suppi smiled as the sunbeam of his life bounced into his arms, their off duty forms fitting together perfectly, "I hope you didn't eat too many sweets, my sweet, I don't want to not be able to kiss you. . ."
Kero gagged, "Please give it a rest. . . just for half an hour. . ."
"No."
"Why not?!"
Suppi grinned, "I have to make up for every time you pissed me off. . ." He glanced at his pocket watch, "And let see. . . that will take about. . . two, three. . ."
"Two, three. . . hours?" Kero asked hopefully.
Suppi's deadpan expression took on a happy glint, "Centuries."
"ARGGGGHHHH!!!"
Yue shook his head as he reclined into Touya's warm embrace; they were stood on the balcony, just staring out at the rapidly fading light. They had all decided it would be best if they held the party in the evening because if something funky, and let's face it, WHEN something funky went down. . . they would have the cover of darkness to help them conceal their magical thinigyimabobbies.
Touya kissed the shell of Yue's ear lightly and hummed, "I love you."
The angel blinked at this rather surprising show of affection, "I love you too. . ." He murmured back without a second's hesitation, "What's brought this on though?"
"Just a sudden inexplicable urge to love you."
The white haired angel blushed, and leant back, pressing his slim back against the warm hardness of Touya's chest, he closed his eyes and smirked lovingly, "Just to say 'I love you', koibito?"
"Iie. . ." The deep baritone hummed into his ear again, "Not just to say it. . ."
A soft chuckle issued from Yue's lips, as Touya started to nibble down his ear to his throat. The sapphire eyes drifted shut as Yue's throaty purrs filled the air, Touya smiled into his sweet kisses, and started to turn the angel around, to trap him against the balcony's rail and his own body. He could feel the desire coil up in him as Yue hungrily returned his kisses, amethyst eyes hot with passion and sweet promises. A flash of amber before the lusting eyes slid shut told Touya he was in for quite a night, the stoic boy chuckled deeply, not that he was complaining of course. . .
Yue moaned slightly as he felt Touya slid his hands down his sides with well trained, but loving hands, soft caress, and quiet murmured promises made him increase his returning affections.
"To-ya. . ."
Touya opened his eyes as Yue breathed his name, a pink tongue darting out to wet silver lips. Touya groaned, didn't Yue know how seductive that was?!
"Oh, Yue. . . Yue, Yue, Yue. . ." Touya moaned back, as he pressed his body against his unearthly lover's.
"Ah-hem!!"
The two turned their heads to find a rather disgruntled Ruby Moon, and scowling Yue-Bella standing beside them. "What?!" Yue growled, his voice still passion heavy, "What do you want?!"
"This is Cardcaptor *Meilin* . . ." Ruby growled, "Card. Captor. Meilin. NOT Cardcaptor Sakura." She raised her fist to them and shook it threateningly, "You two had three whole seasons, two movies, countless OVAs, billions of fanfics, thousands of fanart pictures, and quadrillions of websites dedicated to your relationship. . . and I'm the bitch in everything single one of them. . . for crying-freaking-out-loud Damnit, this is MY turn to get it on with the Unearthly Lover, MY turn to smile into sweet kisses and to turn the angel around, Damnit!! Get lost and let me get my thingy on!!"
Touya growl, annoyed by this sudden explosion, and started to rant back. The two angels, now out of The Mood, shrugged and milled back into the apartment, "Well. . ." Yue sighed, "That was nice . . ."
Yue-Bella nodded, "Want popcorn?"
Yue grinned, "Got milk?"
A little later. . .
With Ruby still ranting outside to Touya about how he got to ride Yue billions of times, but when it came to her. . . Yue-Bella sighed and slipped out of the party to Meilin's darkened room. She froze as she saw someone by the window, but quickly relaxed when she realised it was her own sister. "You too, eh?"
Kero-ette nodded, "I can't stop thinking about it . . ." She sighed, "We've been through so much . . . why can't Clow just leave well alone . . ."
Yue-Bella nodded and sat beside her sister, "Meilin will need us more than ever now . . ." She glanced out, hating herself for even suggesting it, but knew it was necessary to the plot . . . I mean, necessary to at least consider . . .
"Meilin might not be strong enough to face this by herself . . ."
Kero-ette raised an eyebrow, and glared at her sister, "Sheesh . . . do we have too?"
The angel-girl shrugged once, "Every bad dub's gotta have a flashback episode, it's mandatory, and in our contract . . ." She nodded, "Anyway, Meilin might not be strong enough to face this new threat by herself . . . I have my doubts about her abilities . . . she did, after all, fail the judgement . . ."
There was a quiet snort from Yue-Bella, "Which makes you even more dumber . . . if you had read the back of the book . . ." She glared at Meilin coldly, and sighed sharply, "Very well, you must use all the cards . . ." She flicked out her hand, and the cards spun away from Meilin and surrounded her, as the angel continued, "These cards to your advantage, and defeat me . . . got that?" Meilin nodded, and Yue-Bella sighed again, "Good. Well . . ." she eyed Meilin, "what are you waiting for?"
Meilin nodded again, sparing only one glance at Syaotang. He smiled at her, "Go for it, Meilin. Try your hardest!"
"Meilin-chan!!" Sakura and Tomoyo yelled up, "Do your best, don't give up!!"
"I will!!" She nodded down at them, then turned her attention back on Yue-Bella, "Butterfly!!" Her wings sprouted from her back quickly, and she took off. "All right, let's do this!!" She threw out her hand, "What If!"
"Not that one!!" Kero-ette growled, Syaotang snapped his head to her.
"Why not?!"
"It's under Yue-Bella's influence!!" Kero-ette shouted up at Meilin, "Meilin!! Not that one!!"
Meilin didn't hear her as she cast the spell, "What If I won this without hurting Yue-Bella? Release and misspell!!"
Yue-Bella folded her arms and glared at the What If card as she swooped to the Moon angel-girl, the Moon angel-girl waited right until the What If was just in front of her. "You think that will defeat me?" She sighed, "I knew you would fail . . . What If I turned the What If against you?"
Meilin gasped as the What If twisted around suddenly and swooped down on her, "NANI?!" As the card wrapped around her and tightened it's grip like vines . . . not that the Author is borrowing heavily from the final judgment episode . . . the angel-Bella landed lightly. "If you weren't as stupid as Clow reed, you would have know that you cannot defeat me with the What If . . ."
Meilin hung her head, "What's the consequence?"
"Consequence?" Yue-Bella cocked an eyebrow, "There wasn't a consequence, I was just gonna make you feel really small and laugh at you . . . but now you mention it," She folded her arms again, "It's probably a good idea . . . very well, the consequence is . . ." she nodded, "Heck, my job's not to make this stuff up, so you can be lumped with what ever happened to the other Cardcaptor . . ."
"What happened?" Meilin murmured fearfully, as Kero-ette and Syaotang landed nearby.
The lion-ette glanced up at Yue-Bella, and sighed sadly, "That you forget everything . . . and all the love is taken away from the people closest to you . . ." She looked around, "Clow did it to stop anyone from being sad when you failed . . ." she looked up at Meilin and padded closer, leaning on her back legs as she lapped at Meilin's face, "I'm sorry Meilin . . ." she sighed, "I'll miss you, I won't remember any of this but I'm sure somewhere we'll all miss you, Meilin . . ."
Kero-ette shook her head, "But that's because she didn't know any better, it's not like she knows precisely which cards are under your influence and which are under mine, hell . . . WE don't even know for sure . . ."
"That's not the point, as the Cardcaptor . . ." Yue-Bella got up, and folded her arms thoughtfully, "As the Cardcaptor she should have known instinctively which cards are mine and which are yours . . ."
"That's true but . . ." Kero-ette frowned, then countered, "Meilin's got other strengths . . . like the reliability of her friends . . ."
"*They* don't even believe she's a Cardcaptor . . . they don't have faith in her . . ."
"That's not true . . . there's her best friends, Sakura and Tomoyo . . ."
"That's good work, girls!" Yukie-sensei shouted, "Okay! You can break off now!" Meilin and Sakura ran over to the washing sink and washed the sweat off their faces, Tomoyo ran over quickly, "Both of you are so beautiful!"
Meilin and Sakura blinked, and blushed, "Uh . . . Arigato, Tomoyo-chan . . ."
Tomoyo sighed and stars began to shine in her eyes, "And to think, you're both the magic girls of the city . . . destined to protect and serve . . ." Meilin and Sakura cringed as Tomoyo's daydream suddenly took shape, Meilin and Sakura both looked astoundingly brilliant, wearing beautiful costumes and standing over the earth as if to protect it . . . there was even a sun glare, and the appropriate *Ting!* To go with it. . .
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura whisper urgently, "Shhh . . ."
Yamazaki followed Chiharu, Rika and Naoho as they came to wash their faces, "What's this about magic girls?"
Sakura clamped her hand over Tomoyo's mouth as Meilin quickly shrugged it off, "Ah ha ha ha!! It's just the RPG that we've been playing . . . Me and Sakura are . . . magic girls . . . with special powers . . ."
Yamazaki raised the finger of truth instantly, "Did you know?" All eyes turned to him instantly, as he continued, "There once was a great magician called Clow Reed and he apparently created a set of special cards that were very rowdy, so . . . he created a book which he sealed all these cards in . . . He called these cards the Clow cards after himself . . ."
Chiharu lifted her fist, "Lies again . . ."
Rika chuckled politely as she watched Naoho hang off Yamazaki's every deceitful word, "And then what?"
"He created two guardians, one that would guard the seal, this one was a large lion with wings but he was always very sleepy, and another, which was a tall angel with flowing white hair and beautiful wings that would take on a false form and would eventually judge--"
"Hai! Hai!!" Chiharu bonked him on the head, "Enough of your lies!!"
Tomoyo smiled, "Yamazaki-kun and Chiharu-chan are such a cute couple, but of course they don't even begin to compete with the cuteness of Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun . . ."
"There is that . . . but I . . ."
Kero-ette slapped her sister's arm, "You just don't want to give up without a fight, face it, Meilin's won every single battle."
"Not everyone . . . Meilin has lost a few, remember the Interrupt card?"
"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!!"
"Meilin had that one in the bag!! It was just a fluke, Damnit!" Kero-ette cried passionately, "If there was a ref, I woulda demanded a recount!!"
Yue-Bella rolled her eyes, "Meilin doesn't have what it takes to be a true Cardcaptor . . . she might fail . . ."
"And she might have hidden strengths that you are trying to deny . . . sure, Meilin doesn't have the same earth shattering power as Clow Reed, but . . ." Kero-ette sighed, "She has something else . . ." She looked at her sister, "Something else that we can't put a name to just yet . . ."
Yue-Bella looked at her for a quiet moment.
". . . Like that time we we're fighting the Hole card . . . don't you remember, how she put her all into capturing that last card?"
"That's it!" She thought back to her dream, the black lights swallowing each other up, and then the largest black light was split in half! "We need to cut them in half!"
"We tried that!" Madison yelled, "It just created more of them!"
"No! We need to lead them all together so they all stick together, then we just need to slice the biggest hole in half so it isn't a whole anymore! "
"That . . ." Madison blinked, ". . .is an awful pun! "
"But it's the right one!" Kero-ette sprung up, "Let's get to it!!"
The now massive whole throbbed and wobbled in front of them, the hour had been exhausting but they had finally got all of the stupid holes to suck each other up. "Is that all of them?" Eriol yelled down.
"I think so!" Syaotang yelled from the roof, he glanced about, "No, wait! Meilin! There's one just beneath you!"
The tiny runaway started to try and pull away from the huge gravitational pull from the large black hole, Meilin bit her lip, and Kero-ette wouldn't be about to catch it in time.
"What are you doing?!" Kero-ette roared as Meilin suddenly leapt off her back.
The black haired girl fell just outside of the pull of the big hole, but managed to snag the little hole with her staff and yank it toward the large hole. She continued to fall as the hole stabilized into it's more visible form. "Yes!" Meilin shouted as she pulled out her Swiss army knife card. Her feet firmly planted on her magic circle, Meilin's descent was stopped. "Swiss army knife! Become a sword and cut the hole in half!" Magic wrapped around her staff and became a silver and Ruby sword, "Release and misspell!!" She hollered and stuck the appalling wisecrack with avengeance.
The new Whoops card floated in to her hand easily, she glanced up, "Now see . . . that was a challenge!" Kero-ette and Yue-Bella took one look at each other and dashed downwards to their mistress.
Meilin glanced down at her feet; the magic circle was beginning to fade from existence! "Oh no. . ." She murmured, she looked up; Yue-Bella and Kero-ette were still too far away.
"She almost got herself killed!" Yue-Bella turned from the window, and put her hands on her hips, "That's hardly the mark of a good magic girl."
"You and I both know Meilin's a sharp girl, she's smarter than many give her credit for, and you know that." Kero-ette glowed slightly, and the new Meilin Book hovered closer, the cards spilling out in a fantastic glowing circle. Kero-ette plucked the Butterfly card out of the air, and held it up. "Meilin made this, we didn't need to tell her, she just made it . . . she's got it Yue-Bella, she's got what it takes . . ."
"Maybe."
"Why do you need to be so stubborn, sister . . . you know it's the way this fic' gonna go, why fight it?"
Yue-Bella glanced at the clock, "Because if I don't, there will be at least another fifteen minutes of this program with just Eriol telling knock-knock jokes . . ."
Eriol beamed as he wrapped his arm around Tomoyo, "Darling?"
"Hmm?"
"Knock-knock . . ."
Kero-ette shivered, "Point taken . . . okay, so what do you need to know . . . Meilin's overcome her rival . . ."
"What do you want from me?"
Li Syaotang's eyes narrowed, and he pulled out a circular board that was just like Syaoran's compass, //Oh, no . . .// thought Meilin, //He's the Whoops card's answer to Syaoran!!//
"Fork's know my plate! Release the Salad!
"What?!" Meilin cried as the board began to glow, "What the hell do you mean 'Release the Salad'?!"
As the compass' light beam struck her, Syaotang ignored her and leapt backward, "You have the Whoops cards in your possession," His amber eyes narrowed, "Hand them over!!"
Li Syaotang was a worthy rival, and he did put Meilin through her paces. . . Yue-Bella nodded, this much I concede, but. . .
But nothing. Meilin's our girl, our lucky number, she'll do it Yue-Bella, we just gotta keep up with her . . . Kero-ette glanced to the door, Meilin's birthday party going in full swing now. You remember how hard it was with Clow . . . remember how stubborn he was when it came to doing things he didn't want to . . .
Clow's spectacles clattered to the ground, as the mage folded his arms and turned away from his guardians.
"No. I don't wanna."
"But Clow. . ."
"No."
"Clow . . ." Kero sighed, "You have to."
"I don't have to do anything. Damnit Kero. . . family reunions are bloody boring."
"Clow."
"Don't start Yue."
"Clow, you have to go."
"Yue, we could stay in bed all day."
"Yue, don't even go there. Clow, you have to go. . . your mother ordered you to go. You've got to go. . ."
"Kero, shut up, I don't wanna and that's final, I wanna stay in bed all day with Yue."
Two sighs filled the room, as the stubborn magician sat in his Chair, signalling that the conversation, all three minutes of it, was over.
"Well, it's gonna be easier because Meilin, even though she complains, wants this." Kero-ette smiled warmly, "She wants this . . . and us . . ." Yue-Bella sat beside her sister as Kero-ette leant towards her, "I know it's not something you've wanted to accept . . . having a new mistress and all . . ."
Everyone turned to Eriol, who cocked his head disapprovingly, "Don't look at me . . . the whole reason I got rid of those cards is because *none* of them make any sense!"
"And now she has to retrieve them . . . or something really *stinky* will happen and I'm *not* gonna clear it up . . ."
The group spun and gasped at the strange new voice. There stood a person that looked strangely like Yue!!
Yue rolled his eyes and pointed them in the right direction. "Ahem!"
The group spun and gasped at the strange new voice. There stood a person that looked strangely like Yue . . . except she was wearing the same clothes as Ruby . . . only those clothes were tasteful . . . and in the same colours and tones as Yue's. The Moon angel girl stared back at them coolly, her lilac coloured eyes fell on Kero-ette, "Keroberos-ette . . . It's been a long time . . ." she said quietly.
Kero-ette nodded solemnly, "Indeed it has . . ."
"Where's my pizza?"
"I ate it." Kero-ette nodded again solemnly.
"Oh . . ." Her lilac coloured eyes flickered back to the group, "So . . . which of you were *stupid* enough to break the seal?"

". . . But life moves on and all of that crap." Kero-ette nudged her sister, "Besides it's not like you didn't get a good cut out of the deal . . . may I remind you . . . about a certain Ruby Moon?"
"Ruby-chan! You had me worried about you!"
The pair stumbled slightly as Yuki-Bella wrapped her arms around the startled Moon guardian, Ruby blushed slightly and wrapped her arms around Yuki-Bella's waist, "Gratify facilitate me . . . construct this impede." She rested her chin on Yuki-Bella's head, "I accurately tenderness you . . ."
"Nani?" Yuki-Bella raised her head to look at the slightly saddened Ruby.
Ruby smiled ruefully and muttered. "Nonentity."
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 . . ."
"Okay . . . are you ready?" Ruby Moon squealed from the bathroom. Yue blinked and paused before he pushed the door open, Ruby and Yue-Bella had towels secured about their persons, their hair up in high ponytails and their legs up on the rim on the bath's rim. Yue's mouth fell open with shock as they . . .
*shhhhhhHHHHHHRRRRRIIPPPP!!!*
. . .pulled wax strips off their legs. Yue's eyes boggled, "What are you doing?!"
Ruby glanced at him, "What does it . . ."
*shhhhhhHHHHHHRRRRRIIIIIPPPP!!!*
". . . look like?" She finished, and rubbed the leg quickly with moisturiser. Yue-Bella smiled, as she started to apply even more of the hot waxy stuff to her pale legs. "Don't worry, brother . . . we'll clear up when we're done . . ."
"That's not what I'm angry about!" Yue stormed in and picked up the tub of wax, and squinted at the label.
"Then what's got your luna balls in a knot?" Ruby smiled as she took the wax scalpel shaped thingy from Yue-Bella and quickly dipped it into the tub of wax. Yue growled at her and took the tub out of their reach, "I'll have you know---!!"
*shhhhhhHHHHHHRRRRRIIIIIPPPP!!!*
"There's something oddly satisfying about that . . ." Ruby nudged Yue-Bella with her bare shoulder. The Moon angel-girl smiled and nodded. Yue cleared his throat, "As I was saying . . . I'm angry because this is MY leg wax!"
Ruby dropped the leg waxy scalpel thingy in her shock and Yue-Bella raised an impressed eyebrow, as Yue continued sulkily, "And it would have been nice if you waited for me first . . ."
"Okay, so I've gotten a nice girlfriend . . . boyfriend . . . erm. . ." Yue-Bella chuckled helplessly, "*it*friend . . . you got a boyfriend out of it as well . . ."
"Indeed, I love Spinel with all my sun-guardian heart, but . . ." Kero-ette giggled, "It doesn't help that I have a brother who looks exactly like me around . . . remember the Random card?"
"Who could forget?"
Spinel rubbed his poor bruised tush, and wondered if the roses he got his sweet heart were actually thorn-free like he had asked Ruby to get. "Oowwww . . ." he moaned quietly, and fluttered up to Sakura's bedroom window. //Perfect!// he thought as he saw Keroberos-ette playing alone in Sakura's room. Well, he assumed it was Keroberos-ette because she was playing with her game controller . . . even though she wasn't wearing anything . . .
"Hmm . . ." Spinel smirked as he pawed the window open and silently changed into his true form, he had a very good idea . . .
Kero began to purr as he felt a gently placed kiss on his wing joint, he tried not to giggle, thinking it might be some errant Whoops card at work. His purring got deeper as the kissing started to go up his back, and then he started to hear a really sexy deep voice purr, "Oh, my darling . . . I've waited sooooo long to have you like this . . ."
He felt silly, but Kero let out a high-pitched girlish giggle, it felt so nice to have someone doing this to him . . .
"I thought Spinel would spend years coughing up hairballs!!" Kero-ette crowed, she clapped happily, "But at least . . ." She sighed happily; "I really do love him . . ."
"Just like I really love Ruby . . ." Yue-Bella smiled gently, as she turned to look out the window. "And I sense we aren't the only ones who will find love here . . ."
"You mean Meilin and that Yank?"
Yue-Bella frowned at her sister, "You know just as well as I do . . . there's no fighting the inevitable . . . Sakura fell for her rival, and now Meilin's falling for hers . . . just like the Clow/Sakura cards thing . . ."
Kero-ette pouted, "Not everything's the same as the Clow/Sakura cards . . . what about Madison?" She plucked the Clow Reed's Really Annoying Card out of the circle of cards, "In the Clow/Sakura cards, Meilin left and went to China . . . in this Madison was actually a Whoops card . . ."
"And what are you going to do about it, Meilin?!" Madison sneered, "huh! Not much, is there?"
Syaotang flinched and started to move between the two girls when Meilin suddenly turned to Madison, she was clutching her staff very hard, "You know what I wish?" She said very quietly, Syaoran gulped and moved behind Sakura quickly, Meilin was speaking in her 'I'm gonna kill anything that moves' voice, "I wish . . . I wish . . ."
"You wish you had a boyfriend that didn't fall for the other girl . . .?" Madison smirked, "That you weren't the eternal reject?"
Even Yue-Bella's mouth fell open and she felt herself and her sister move a step forward, Meilin still didn't break her eye contact with Madison, but she held up her hand to stop them. She pointed her staff at Madison, "I wish . . ." She said loudly, "I wish . . ."
"What's wrong . . ." Madison's centimetre thick lipstick undulated, ". . . Reject?"
Meilin's head snapped up at this, real fire burning in her eyes, "I WISH . . ." She hollered as she raised the staff above her head and brought it crashing down on Madison's, "I WISH I HAD SOME WAY OF RETURNING YOU TO YOUR MISTAKE'S CONFINE!!!"
Meilin's magic circle glowed brightly, and Madison's eyes widened with shock and dismay, "No fair . . . you . . ." Her voice trailed off as she was sucked into a card.
Meilin blinked as the card, that was once Madison, lay on the grass silently. Syaotang stepped forward his sword drawn, he poked the card before he picked it up and stared at the name.
The Clow Reed's Really Annoying Card.
"No way . . . Madison was a card . . .?" He said quietly, "All this time Madison was a card . . .? Wait a minute . . . wait a minute! I almost married one of Clow's stupid cards?!"
Eriol slapped his head, "I *knew* there was something I had forgotten to tell Meilin!!"
Everyone stared at him.
He shrugged, "I meant to tell Meilin to read the back of the book . . ." He beamed happily, "I put *instructions* in this one . . ."
As Yue and Kero, Spinel and Ruby, Yue-Bella and Kero-ette went crashing to the ground and twitched, Meilin pulled the book out of her bag and stared at the back cover, sure enough, there was a small panel of Clow's handwriting. She peered at it, and read aloud:
Warning:
One card could not be sealed inside book.
Am too lazy.
Please keep eye out for girl named Madison Rae – is Whoops card.
Seal on sight.
As Yue and Kero, Spinel and Ruby, Yue-Bella and Kero-ette went crashing to the ground and twitched *again*, Syaoran and Syaotang quickly following suit, Meilin's mouth fell open and she glanced at Eriol, "Anything else I need to know?"
". . . there are differences, for all we know. . ." Kero-ette sighed gently, "For all we know . . . Syaotang could suddenly have a change of heart and end up with Eriol Mark Two . . . give in to the smug git's advances and leave our girl in the dust . . ."
Yue-Bella shook her head, "I don't want that to happen . . . Meilin's a good girl . . . she keeps trying hard, all the time, even when things get tough . . ."
Kero-ette and Yue-Bella fell silent for a few moments, thinking about what had been said, and what had been mercilessly cut up to make a flashback episode.
"No matter what." Kero-ette announced, as she grabbed her sister's hand, "No matter what, we've got to stay by Meilin's side, she's gonna do this, and I wanna be right there when we pound that smug git's face into the ground."
Yue-Bella smirked, and held up her little finger. "Saiko-exciting?"
Kero-ette linked her small finger around her sister's and grinned, "Guardian Stylin'!!"
They exchanged a confident nod, and stood, rejoining the party together. They were gonna do it, and Meilin would become the card mistress . . . Eriol Mark Two, or no Eriol Mark Two . . .
"You know . . ."
He smirked darkly, as he listen to the partygoers from the roof, "You've just given me a dastardly good plan . . ." He straightened and looked up at the Moon as it hung above him, "Time to make things *really* interesting . . ."
The next day . . .
Yukito-Bella yawned slightly as she carried the rubbish to the bins. The party last night had been fun, even after Yue and Yue-Bella had gone to bed, Yukito and Yukito-Bella were given the chance to finish all the party food, which they did, but they were sadden to learn there was no main course . . .
She chuckled as she looked around the other school's playground, hoping for a chance to see Meilin. She had yet had a chance to give Meilin a birthday hug.
He stepped out, and walked straight up to the fence, raising his hands and clutching the crisscrossed wire.
Yukito-Bella blinked, and tilted her head as she stared at the strange boy, "Who . . . who are you?"
"Clow Reed." The answer came, calmly and without hesitation.
Yukito-Bella gasped for a second before Yue-Bella transformed instantly, "Clow?! What are you doing here? In that form . . . *again*?!"
"You know me . . . I never like to miss a family reunion," Eriol Mark Two grinned up, as he stepped away from the fence. The angel-Bella flew easily over the divide and glared at him, "You won't stop her . . ."
"I have no intention."
"Then what . . .?"
"Yue-Bella, off." He smiled as he held up a hand, flicking it as if he was flicking a light switch; Yue-Bella fell to the ground in a dead faint. Eriol Mark two grinned . . . he could have a lot of fun doing this . . .
"Yue-Bella, on."
The angel girl sat up and continued her speech as if nothing had happened, ". . . are you . . .?"
"Yue-Bella, off."
She fell back, completely out. Eriol Mark Two sniggered, and was tempted to do it again, but decided that he needed to get this vital, and important scene of the story done now, before anyone started to realise that Yukito-Bella was taking too long with the rubbish. "Well, what can I say . . . it would be very troublesome for me, if you remembered that you've seen me, so . . . you can forget that . . . erm, you can also forget that there's a clause in your contract that says you're allowed to call me an idiot every episode . . . and that twenty I owe you . . ." He chuckled gently, as he smoothed back the hair on her head, "You too, can be as stubborn as me . . . so to make this interesting, and to make the fanfic at least *try* to follow some form of cannon, and mostly because it's boring without the whole 'Meilin's gotta catch the cards' thing . . . I cast this spell on thee . . . I'm sorry it will be so painful, but it must be done. . . Meilin's gotta learn that this is actually really serious . . ."
Nakuru sighed as she ducked Nukara's 'sneak' attack again, "Where is she?"
"Who?" Yukito murmured as he, Touya and Nakuru walked out of the main building, the afternoon was warm and lovely, he hoisted his and his sister's lunch box up again, preventing it from slipping for his hands, but also meaning he now couldn't see over it anymore.
"Yukito-Bella . . . it shouldn't take that long to take the rubbish out . . ." Nakuru sighed and started to jog towards the bins, "Back in a second . . . I have a nasty feeling about this . . ."
Touya glanced at Yukito, and sighed, "Oh, I get it . . ." He took the snow rabbit's lunch box off him, so he could see where he was going again, "It's the whole 'freaky Eriol, Yue and freaky-ness by the fence' thingy . . ."
"What was that?" Yukito frowned, "I don't remember anything like that . . . "
Touya shook his head as he lead the grey haired boy to their favourite tree, "Of course not . . . probably because he wiped your memory like Eriol Mark Two is doing to Yue-Bella right . . ." He glanced at his watch ". . . now."
Yuki-Bella blinked sleepily, "Urgh . . ."
"Are you okay?" A sweet quiet voice asked worriedly, she glanced up to see a boy with long blue bangs stare down at her with concern, "Yes I am . . . I . . . I must have . . ."
"I just got here . . ." The boy murmured, "And I found you sleeping right here . . ."
"Really?"
He nodded, "Of course . . . it's not like I'm trying to cover up the fact I just cast a horrid spell on you and then wiped your memory . . ." He grinned, "By the way . . . do I owe you any money?"
Yukito-Bella frowned; she'd only met this boy, just now. ". . . Erm . . . no?"
He grinned even more, "Good."
"Yuki-Bella!!!" Nakuru's voice rang out across the concrete as she ran up, "Yuki-Bella, are you okay?!"
The snow-rabbit-girl vaulted over the fence, and greeted her girlfriend happily, "I'm fine . . ." she yawned widely, "I just fell asleep . . . silly me!"
Nakuru's eyes narrowed and flashed pink, "You did, did you?"
"Un." Yukito-Bella yawned, and waved at Eriol Mark Two, "Thank you!!"
You're welcome . . . he called back and walked away mysteriously, not once looking back. Nakuru growled quietly at him, //I know it's you Clow Reed, I just know it . . .//
Another yawn drew her attention to Yuki-Bella, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't get a lot of sleep after the party . . ." The grey haired girl smiled gently and linked her arm with Nakuru's, "Let's go get something to eat okay?"
"Sure . . ." Nakuru frowned worriedly as Yuki-Bella yawned again, she glanced where Eriol Mark Two had been, the blue haired boy was now gone.
//Clow Reed . . . why have you come back . . . again?//
He smirked darkly, "Because every good comedy . . . needs a good dose of tragedy every once in a while . . ." He laughed quietly and started to sing as he walked away again, "Tragedy . . . when the love is gone, and you can't go on . . . it's tragedy!!"
