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!!

Cardcaptor Meilin!
"Master?"
Eriol Mark Two glanced up from his evil book reading. "Yes, my dearest Suppilita?"
Spinellita frowned, "My name's---"
"I know, I know . . . but I temporarily channelled the spirit of Rubix Luna . . ."
"Ahem," the small blue cat-alita sighed and shook her head, "Start again?"
Eriol Mark Two resumed his evil sewing, "Please."
"Master?"
Eriol Mark Two glanced up from his evil book reading. "Yes, my dearest Spinellita?"
"What will be your plan? That girl, Meilin is growing stronger . . . and you haven't even mocked Touya yet!"
"Typical, one always just seems to slip right through the net!" Eriol Mark Two pouted, and nodded, "Well . . . I've got a plan that could change that . . ."
"And then the boy?"
"I was talking about the boy actually . . ." Eriol Mark Two resumed his book reading, and shrugged, "As for Meilin . . ." he shrugged against, "Ehhhh . . . something'll come up. . . in fact, it'll come bounding through the door any minute now . . ."
The door burst open, and in yet another 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, "Which reminds me! Can we go to the valentine's day ball?!"
"Valentine's day ball?!" Spinellita's eyes bugged, "But it's the middle of winter!!" She paused, and glanced at her master, "unless . . ."
Eriol Mark Two smiled and closed his evil book, "Unless a certain evil, brilliant, and not to mention handsome reincarnation of a certain brilliant, and not to mention handsome Magician just happens to fix things so Tomoeda County Council, in what they perceive as a brilliant move to entertain the Christmas visitor, suddenly and inexplicably decide to hold Valentine celebrations in the middle of winter . . ."
"Master . . ." Spinellita hummed in appreciation, "You have the best ideas!"
Eriol Mark Two smiled indulgently, "I know . . ."
"Yeah, but . . ." Rubix frowned, "Where are we going to find this certain evil, brilliant, and not to mention handsome reincarnation of a certain brilliant, and not to mention handsome Magician who can just happen to fix things so Tomoeda County Council, in what they perceive as a brilliant move to entertain the Christmas visitor, suddenly and inexplicably decide to hold Valentine celebrations in the middle of winter, conveniently at my high school?"
Eriol Mark Two pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation, and Spinellita shook her head veeeeeeeery slowly.
Part Eighteen:
Meilin and Syaotang's Unnecessarily Romantic Episode!
"KAAAAAWWAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII!!!!"
Meilin jumped three feet in the air as Sakura squealed her head off. The green-eyed card mistress sighed happily, and held up her camera, " I'm ready to capture all of your Kawaii actions today at this festival of love, Meilin-chan! Ganbatte!"
Meilin blushed, "We're just going to meet a few friends, ne?"
Tomoyo smiled as they walked up to the Tomoeda Valentine Ball's Fair, "Of course . . . Eriol-kun, Syaoran-kun and of course . . . *Syaotang-kun* . . ."
//Syaotang-kun?// Meilin's imagination echoed quietly and decided to raise a couple of sweet memories for her.
"Return to your mistake's confine!" Meilin shouted, "Interrupt card!!"
The evil version of Chiharu's eyes widened as Meilin's staff swung into place, she couldn't believe that she had been foiled just like the late card. Only this time the card had put up a bit of a battle, but ultimately Meilin's idea of having Yamazaki tell a lie right to the end without being interrupted had worked. The card sighed as it became a card, but it chuckled mischievously as it ducked out of Meilin's way. Even though it had been Meilin's idea, Syaotang was the one who had grabbed Chiharu before she could interrupt Yamazaki. Thus defeated, the card landed in Syaotang's hand.
Madison made a big deal of it of course, "In your face Meilin! Look at that!" She threw her arms around Syaotang's neck, "Syaotang baby, you rule!!"
"Maybe next time, Meilin," Sakura put her hand on Meilin's shoulder, "You'll win it for sure!"
"Syaotang rules! Meilin sucks!!" Madison cheered, she tugged at Syaotang's arm, "Come on Syaotang!! Let's go celebrate!!"
Syaotang stayed where he was, he bit his lip and glanced at Meilin, as the red eyed girl sighed heavily and went to tend to Chiharu who suddenly appeared as the card was being seal. He turned to Madison and said, "You go ahead . . . I wanna rub it in a little bit more . . ."
Meilin frowned. That wasn't a happy memory for her!!
She sighed and tuned back into the conversation that Tomoyo and Sakura were having. ". . . and then when he proclaims his love for you Meilin . . ." Meilin blinked as Sakura grabbed her arm and giggle happily, "And then you MUST smile at the camera, I want to capture your look of happy-love-love!!"
Meilin went bright red, "I don't know if he's in love with me!!"
"Nonsense!!" Tomoyo clasped her chest, "Every magic girl series has such a romantic plot, and the magic girl always gets her rival!!"
Meilin raised and eyebrow, and cocked her head, "That doesn't happen in every magic girl series, only in Cardcaptor Sakura. . ."
"There's other magic girl series?" Tomoyo asked, honest disbelief in her face. She shook her head, "Anyway . . . it's important that you smile at the camera, and say yes!! It's important, very important, because that will make Sakura-chan happy, and then I can catch her bravery as she struggles to capture Meilin-chan's struggles to find love in this world!!"
"Hoeeeee. . ." Meilin muttered as they came up to the park, she covered her eyes and shook her head, "Why me?"
"Why me?"
Syaotang muttered glumly, "If it's not one thing it's another . . . now we have this freak Eriol Mark---" he paused as Eriol started to growl darkly, "Um, maaarkUS . . ." he emphasised the 'Usss' to cover the fact he was about to refer to the Evil One . . . Mark Two, as Eriol's double. "Anyway, are we still going to the park to meet the girls, and then on to the mysterious fair which has been put on for valentines even though it's the middle of winter, and absolutely reeks of evil and more evil magical doings of Clow's re-reincarnation?"
Syaoran shoved his hands into his pockets and nodded, "Who knows he might just decide to stay home today?"
"But that's so boring!" Eriol Mark Two's English accent floated from behind them, and three boys spun to find the Evil One Mark Two jogging up behind them in the exact same outfit as Eriol. The only visible difference between them was Eriol Mark Two's ponytail, and the bright shade that Eriol was going.
Eriol Mark Two grinned charmingly, as he sidled up to Syaoran, "How you doin'?" he murmured sensually. Syaoran blinked in surprise, and then started to edge away from the Evil One Mark Two.
"Welcome to the Tomoeda Valentine Ball!!!"
The announcer smiled despite the fact he was bundled up against the cold, "It might be the middle of winter . . ." he enthused, "But our hearts are always warm with love, and hot with passion!!"
The audience murmured quietly, not really feeling up to partying and the like. Tomoyo sighed, "This festival isn't very festive, is it?"
"What can you expect?" Syaoran grumbled, as he hugged himself tightly, "It's too cold . . ." he glanced around, "Where's that creep gone?"
Eriol blinked, "I'm here. . ."
Syaoran snorted as Syaotang shook his head, "We meant the other English creep . . ."
"What?" Eriol growled, "All because he comes over from England and casts a menacing shadow over the future of Meilin as a magic girl, *I'm* no longer important enough to worry about my whereabouts anymore?!"
As Eriol steamed about the fact he was no longer a scary influence, Sakura shivered, and moved her camera's focus back on to Meilin, "Meilin-chan, remember to try your hardest, ne?"
"Hai . . ." Meilin shook her head, she looked around at all the people, and their downcast faces, "But it's going to be hard to look genki-happy when it's so cold around here . . ."
"Sooooo . . ." Kero-ette suddenly popped out of Meilin's backpack, "Make it warmer already!"
"ARRRRRGGGHHH!!" Meilin shrieked, and then blushed furiously, as several older people turned to look at her. She grabbed her bag, and ran around to a safe hidden corner, all her friends in tow. As soon as they were hidden from public view, Meilin steamed at her little sun guardian, "I thought you were going to stay at home!!"
"Who can stay at home when there's food for the taking . . ." Kero-ette grinned happily, she clasped her hands together and sang sweetly, "And you have to remember that the Happy card's just completely under my sign, and where there's love, there's happiness, and where there's happiness and love, there's me . . ." The tiny female version of Keroberos patted Meilin's hand charmingly, "It's the natural order of things, try not to question them . . ."
Meilin smirked, as she pointed an accusing finger at the small being, "You really just came for the food didn't you?"
Kero-ette folded her arms, "Hey . . . it's freezing cold, what do you think?!"
Sakura sighed, "I wish there was something I could do about it . . . but it's laundry day for the cards, their spring cleaning . . ."
Meilin's eye twitched, "Your cards are spring cleaning?!"
"Yeah . . ." Sakura sighed, "I didn't find out until I took them outside with me, and the cards requested that I leave them indoors for their spring cleaning . . . and you know what the strange thing is?" The others shrugged, and she continued, "Kero took one look outside and said he'd help them!"
"That's because he doesn't like the cold . . ." Yue's cool voice floated to the group making them. They all turned to find Yuki and Yuki-Bella, Touya and Nakuru standing nearby, Yue and Yue-Bella's distinctive eye colour shone through the snow rabbits' eyes as they huddled together. "And I have to admit," Yue's calm tones continued through Yukito's voice, "While it casts me in a particularly good light, what with my dazzling white hair and pristine clothes and all . . . but it's too cool to look cool . . ." he glared at Sakura, "Do something about it."
"What?" Sakura shrugged, "I don't have my key, because Meilin's supposed to be the magic girl now . . . she's the one who'll save the day for us all. . ."
Meilin nodded slowly, "Thanks . . . I think . . ."
Yue turned his glare onto Meilin, "Do something about the cold now."
"Yes sir, anything you say sir. . ." Meilin rolled her eyes.
"I mean it."
"Hai, hai . . ." Meilin glanced around, before taking out her key, "Fine, fine . . . I'll go make it nice and warm for you, okay?"
Yue sniffed and said nothing more, as Meilin glanced around the group ". . . Any more requests?"
"Go make it warm, Meilin . . ."
Meilin groused to herself as she pushed through some under growth before she got into the clearing.
"Fetch my slippers, Meilin . . . make the tea Meilin . . . be a magic girl Meilin . . ." she paused and rolled her eyes, "I wonder how Sakura can bear being the magic girl when so many things happen all the time. . ."
A warm wave of magic brushed her cheek, making the magic girl pause, "What the. . .?"
She pushed her way through some more under growth, and came to a darken clearing. "Who . . . who's there?"
"Meilin . . ." Clow Reed's voice whispered in to the winter wind, "Meeeeiliiiiin . . ."
The magic girl muttered the key's release spell under her breath, and held out the staff out in front of her warningly. "Clow? If that's you, show yourself . . ."
Yuki-Bella looked up from the foot long sandwich she was devouring. "Meilin!"
Well, actually her mouth was full of sandwich, so it came out sounding more like, "Merlin!"
"Merlin?!" Eriol growled, "Where? That slimy bastard owes me so much!" He stood, and faltered. Tomoyo glanced at him worryingly as Nakuru caught her near unconscious master, "Eriol? What's wrong? Eriol!" Tomoyo patted his hand sharply, "Eriol!"
"Meilin . . . quickly . . ." Eriol murmured faintly, before the colour rushed back – well, the paleness – into his cheeks. The half incarnation sat up straight, "This is no joke . . . she's in serious danger!"
"Meilin, please . . . I need you . . ."
As the voice echoed around her, Meilin frowned, "Where . . ." She swallowed and hugged her staff tightly, "Where are you?" She glanced around, the glade was too dark to be natural, "Why can't I see you?!"
There was a sinister chuckle in the undergrowth, making Meilin spin.
"Who are you?!" She demanded trying desperately to keep the fear out of her voice, "This wasn't funny . . ."
"You can't see me . . ." Clow's voice began, and then changed slightly to something dark and cold, "Because I don't wish it . . . you are a very meddling little girl . . ."
Meilin spun again as the voice sounded right behind her, she caught a glimpse of dark blue hair, and flashing grey-lavender eyes . . . before something hard and heavy knocked her unconscious.
"I shouldn't have left my key!"
Sakura panicked as the group ran toward the glade where Meilin had disappeared to do her magic. Syaotang and Syaoran murmured a few words, and used their swords to cut a path. "Meilin!" Called out Yuki-Bella, "Meilin where are you?!"
"MEIIIIIILINNNNNNN!!!" Roared Keroberos-ette as she transformed, she and her sister spread their wings for an instant before making the appendages disappear. "Meilin!! Answer us!!"
"Nakuru, Touya!" Eriol called out, "You go that way . . . Syaotang, you go with Yue-Bella, Syaoran take Sakura, and Tomoyo . . . you're with me!"
"Un!" Sakura agreed, "We'll split up and search for her!!"
"Wait! What about me?!" Yue folded his arms and glared at Eriol, the blue haired boy shrugged, "You're with Kero-ette naturally!"
The moon guardian raised an eyebrow, "Why does this remind me of Scooby Doo?"
Syaotang growled quietly to himself as he tried to get through the branches, "Damnit!"
Yue-Bella raised her eyebrow, "Syaotang?"
"I shouldn't have let her go off on her own! Not with that creep hanging around! Damnit!!" He raised his sword and growled at the offending branches, "You're getting in my way!!"
Yue-Bella carefully held in her surprise as he broke through the powerful magic that was holding him back, //You're becoming stronger, like Meilin . . . could this be it? The power of your love is over coming the obstacles . . .// she shook her head, //I can only hope that you find courage enough to tell her . . .// as he jumped through the gap, she smirked to herself, //I knew I was going to be right . . .//

[Cardcaptor Meilin – Eye catch!!]
"I don't mean to scare you . . . too much . . ."
He smiled down at her unconscious face, "ah yes . . . I just need to know if . . . well, if you can keep this terrible secret of mine . . ." he brushed a lock of hair from her face, "You see . . . Clow would be the laughing stock of the world if it was ever discovered that he made a set of faulty cards, and let them escape into the world . . ."
He sighed, and tilted his head, "But I am glad that you have them . . . at least you are cynical enough to understand them . . ." he smiled again, "And of course, you have a big enough heart to love them and the guardians, even though they are faulty, so that makes you more special Meilin-chan . . ."
He glanced up, "I hate to cause you so much pain . . . but . . ." he shrugged and looked at her sleeping face again, "Eh, what can I say . . .sometimes ya just gotta give some tough love . . ." he smirked, "Ah, to the heck with it, and because I'm just such an evil dude . . ."
"Jeepers!"
As Tomoyo's voice pieced the painful throb in her head, Meilin blinked as she came back to awareness, the rest of the group came back into sharp focus. Yue-Bella held Meilin's head safely in her lap; Syaotang had taken off his coat and had draped it over her. Meilin felt her cheeks blush as she took in the fear disappear from his eyes and open relief that she was okay soften his features.
"Wha . . . what happened?" Meilin asked quietly, she remembered something about a boy . . .
"You were knocked out by someone related to Clow . . ." Sakura murmured, as everyone glared at Eriol. The blue haired boy smirked, "It's nice to know you still respect me enough to at least think of me first when strange goings on happen . . ." he sighed, "But I can't take credit for this . . ." he gestured the large, Clow staff shaped indent on Meilin's forehead, he smirked again, "besides when *I* want to knock someone out, I do it delicately, not like some moron who *thinks* he's Clow Reed's reincarnations . . ."
A branch snapped from behind a bush, which made Yue, Kero-ette and Yue-Bella revert to their original forms. "Golly!" A sweet, unassuming voice exclaimed from behind them, "Meilin-chan! What happened to you?!"
The group looked up to find Eriol Mark Two clasping his hands over his chest, and a look of pure unadulterated worry over his features. "Do you need an ambulance?"
"No . . ." Meilin pushed herself up onto her hands, "I'm fine, thank you . . . just a little light headed . . ."
"Oh my, how terrible . . . are you sure you don't need any help?"
Meilin smiled as best she could, even though she couldn't take her eyes off his hair . . . it was dark blue . . . just like. . .
"No, thank you . . . I'm perfectly fine . . ." she murmured, the boy smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Well . . ." he murmured back, speaking only to her, "If you're sure . . ." As Meilin nodded one more time, he dipped his head, "well . . . I've got to be going then . . ."
"Are you really okay?"
Meilin sighed from where she sat, the swings. "Yeah . . . I'm sure . . ." she smiled, the cold weather had suddenly lifted. It felt like a warm winter's day, and the air was crisp. It left Eriol cursing of course, because it had left Clow's distinctive pattern of magic in the air. The festival was beginning to wind down, and everyone was left with the feeling of love in their hearts.
Meilin sighed again as she watched Syaoran and Sakura sitting on a bench nearby, both were blushing adorably, even though they had been going out together for months and months. Eriol – once he had calmed down of course – and Tomoyo were sitting by the pond and whispering together. No doubt Touya and Yukito were off somewhere too, murmuring sweet nothings to each other, and Nakuru and Yuki-Bella had elected to go for "a Walk" in the most shaded parts of the woods nearby . . . even Kero-ette had flown off home to meet with Spinel.
It was then it struck Meilin as a perfect time to tell him . . . she bit her lip. Could she really tell him? She glanced at Syaotang; he was swinging back and forwards slowly, lost in his own world staring blankly at nothing. What would he say?
Even though Meilin knew that she was the magic girl now, even though Madison was firmly out of the way . . . Meilin still believe that she was unlucky in love . . . and besides this was the most messed up magic girl series in the world . . . what chance did she have that the love interest would fall for her in return . . .
Meilin frowned, feeling the tears spill past her eyelashes.
"Ano . . ." Syaotang's voice broke her internal worrying, "Are you still in pain?"
She shook her head, "No . . . I'm fine . . ." she tried to change the subject, "I wonder where Yuki-Bella has gotten to . . ."
Syaotang frowned, Meilin was crying . . . and not because she was hurt anywhere. He wanted to reach out and brush away her soft tears, but realised that . . . //whom am I kidding? This is the most messed up magic girl adventure in the world . . .// he looked away from her, //what chance do I have that she returns my feelings . . .// as Meilin wondered about Yuki-Bella, the sinking realisation hit him, //what if she's still in love with Yuki-Bella . . . what have I got against that? I should just go back to America and forget about her.//
"Ano . . . Meilin?"
Meilin didn't answer at first, and then spoke so quietly he almost fell off the swing straining to hear it, ". . . hai?"
"I heard it was a custom at this festival to tell the one you love that you love them . . . have you told them yet?" He blinked as Meilin started to cry even harder, "Hey!" He frowned, almost panicking, "Cut that out! Cripes Meilin! What's up?"
"I can't tell him! Because . . ." she grasped the swing ropes even harder, "Because he'll not love me back! Because it'll be just like Syaoran . . . and I'll end up alone!"
Syaotang felt the sledgehammer of realisation knock him out of his seat, and he stood up. Meilin blinked as he held out his sleeve, she looked up at him, watery red eyes shimmering, "Na-nani . . .?"
He blushed, "I don't have a handkerchief . . ." the American boy shrugged and motioned his sleeve, "Will this do?"
Meilin sniffed and snorted cheerfully, "Thank you . . ."
"It's'okay . . ." he smiled slightly, and placed his hands on her shoulders, kneeling before her to stare up into her eyes, "It's gonna be okay Meilin . . . you'll see . . . everything's gonna be a-okay. And this guy . . ." he paused, and leant forward to pull her into a embrace, while smiling happily, "This *guy* you love . . . he's gonna love ya right back . . . you just wait Meilin, everything's . . ."
Meilin smiled and closed her eyes as he held her tighter. //Kitto . . . I'll tell you some—
--Day . . . I promise, for sure I'll tell you!// Syaotang opened his eyes and stared at the rapidly darkening sky.
"Everything's gonna be a-okay . . ."
Eriol Mark two smirked as he heard the rustle of someone behind him. He'd known she'd follow, she wouldn't be able to resist. . .
"I know it's you Clow . . ."
"Do you really?" Eriol Mark Two turned slowly, and smiled at her.
She nodded, her eyes glowing dimly, "I can feel it, and I know it's you . . . leave her alone . . . I don't want you to hurt her . . ."
He shrugged, "What could you mean . . . I have no intention of hurting anyone . . ."
Yuki-Bella's eye narrowed with a coldness that wasn't her own, "I'm watching you, Eriol Mark Two . . . and you're in big trouble . . ."
He smirked. "I think not, little moon guardian, I believe it is *you* who is in fact in big trouble . . ."
The snow rabbit-Bella's face hardened darkly, as she turned and left the glade. Rain started to fall all around as the skies above broke, and poured down. Eriol Mark Two raised a hand . . . it glowed with supernatural power, and his large magic circle appeared underneath him. The rain slid off the invisible barrier he had cast around him. The soft smile that had been playing on his lips grew slightly as his guardians landed nearby.
"Now, master?"
Spinellita smirked darkly, as she flexed her wings. She tilted her head questioningly, as Eriol Mark Two turned his face upward.
"Has the time come?"
Rubix Luna grinned as he handed the master his robes. A quick spell turned Eriol Mark Two from the innocent school boy he'd been pretending [poorly, I might add] to the evil magician he truly was.
"Indeed." Eriol Mark Two held out his hand, his staff instantly growing to its full size. His soft smile turned to a cruel smirk as he waved his staff and cast the spell, "I have no intention of hurting anyone at all . . ."
Meilin growled as the rain made her flight harder, "This isn't natural!!" She yelled as they all flew along.
"Definitely not!!" Kero-ette roared as she and her brother battled against the wind shears. The guardians had all come to collect their masters and friends when the storms had started to whip up. Kero had brought Sakura her key and cards; Spinel had brought Eriol's robes and hat. The group looked ready for battle, particularly since Tomoyo had appealed to Meilin to use the magic girl card to create waterproof clothes for them all.
Eriol and Tomoyo was perched on Eriol's staff, Sakura flew with her fly card, while Syaotang sat on Kero's back, Touya was sitting on Kero-ette's back, while Spinel, Yue and Yue-Bella flew slightly out in front. Syaotang tightened his grasp on Meilin's hips, as they struggled to stay up right on Meilin's staff. "This is ridiculous, what possible reason would Clow have to challenge you?"
Yue-Bella turned slightly, she looked a bit paler than usual. "Simple . . ." she yelled over the gale force winds, "Clow Reed was a complete . . ."
It all seemed to happen in slow motion . . .
Yue dived down. Ruby screamed in fright.
. . . one second, Yue-Bella was fine . . .
The group descended as one. Meilin and Syaotang leant forward on her staff to make it go faster.
. . . the next . . .
They landed and ran over to where the moon guardian had landed heavily.
. . . she was . . .
Lightning cracked over head, even the thunder couldn't drown out Kero-ette and Ruby's wails.
. . . falling . . .
"Absolutely no one at all . . . except you, Yue-Bella . . ."
Eriol Mark Two smirked as he opened his eyes, his magic circle faded, and his guardians stared at him. The evil reincarnation of Clow Reed chuckled darkly; "No body was taking me seriously . . ." he turned and stared in the direction of the magic girl and her gang, "Any way . . . it was really just a case of eeny-miney-mynee-mo . . ."
The guardians grinned as their master turned and strode away from the scene of the crime.
Meilin blinked numbly, she was vaguely aware of Syaotang pulling her away from her fallen guardian's body, of Ruby's screaming and wailing, and of Kero-ette's murderous threats to the wind for Clow to come and face them like a man . . . of Sakura weeping, and hugging . . . of Tomoyo turning off her camera, and burying her face in Eriol's chest, as the boy looked on.
Eriol caught Meilin's blank face and pointed at Yue-Bella's pale form as his own moon guardian rocked back and forth with the body.
"I'm . . ." he began weakly, "I'm sorry . . . that's not . . ."
Meilin's face crumpled, her tears lost in the rain as he whispered.
". . . That's not funny . . ."
