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!!
Also don't own phrase 'making life taste better' that is Salisbury's motto . . . never buy a bag of donuts from them, I always seem to pick up the jammy donuts that have no jam in them . . . am I doomed?! Doomed to face life with out jammy donuts?!
Ack, long, long, long, long time no see eh? Sorry, but I had a serious crisis in the ideas department . . . mostly because the idea I had for the last chapter was so bad, I couldn't bear to post it!! But now, having watched . . . lessee . . . nine or ten episodes per DVD . . . six DVDs . . . in three days . . . hmm, well, how many that works out to be of Cardcaptor Sakura non-stop over the last three days, I found myself attacking my keyboard with a cry of 'It will be okay!! It will always be okay!!' . . . and I've seen the last ever episode of ccs . . . I need more!!

//How could . . .//
She stood in the rain all alone.
//How could this . . .?//
Her uniform faded, her hair sticking to her head as the rain beat down on her.
//why? Why did this have to . . .?//
Her eyes were so filled with tears and her nose ran wetly, there was nothing she could do, as she slumped to the sodden ground.
//Why couldn't I stop it?//
Her hands clenched around her staff, and her cards. They were useless against the heavy weather as it taunted her. It was relentless, as it seemed to punish her for her failure.
//What can I do . . .?//
Her mind brought up the images of her fallen guardians again and again as proof of her failure. Her friends' faces as they looked at her in pity.
//What kind of magic girl am I . . . if . . .//
Meilin closed her eyes, and let go of her staff and cards as she ran thru the rain, letting her most precious item slip from her grasp. She ran on, in the rain alone, determined to get as far away from them as she could.
// . . . if I can't save my friends . . .//

Cardcaptor Meilin!
"Master?"
Eriol Mark Two glanced over from his perch, "Yes?"
"That was remarkably cruel . . ." Chuckled Spinellita, "Whatever possessed you to go that far?"
"Oh, I dunno . . ." Eriol Mark Two slapped his own cheek playfully, as he stared down at Meilin, and her mournful group as they stood in the rain, "Oh no . . . I knock your guardian into a deep comma—"
"Coma, Master, Master, I believe you mean *coma* . . ." Suppilita muttered quickly.
"--I knocked you guardian in to a deep coma." Eriol Mark Two corrected himself quickly, ". . . Bad reincarnation . . ."
Rubix Luna chuckled, "Heh . . . that was a good one, Master!"
Eriol Mark Two grinned, "I know . . ."
Part Nineteen:
Meilin, Syaotang and the vanishing might of her guardians!
The doors flew open as the small band of friends ran in, Yue carrying his cold sister, "Yue-Bella?!" Ruby cried frightened, "Wake up! Please, wake up! Please!!" She turned to Eriol who was rapidly guiding the way to his library, "Why isn't she waking up?!"
"I don't know . . ." Eriol growled, "That-that-that GIT must have put some serious spell on her!"
"This didn't happen to me!" Sakura called from behind as she and Tomoyo virtually carried the shocked Meilin into the library and sat her on the sofa, "Why has this happened?!"
"I don't know . . ." Eriol threw off his soaking robes and paced over to his book shelves, he pulled out a book and started to flick through it, "There must be some kind of reversing spell . . . I don't understand, Clow would never kill any of his creations!!"
Syaotang knelt by Meilin, the poor girl had been almost silent since they had arrived, "Are you . . ." he swallowed as more crystalline tears spilled forth, he raised a hand and wiped the tear away, "Are you alright?"
"No . . ." Meilin murmured, she lifted watery red eyes to Yue-Bella's body, the guardians were stood all around as if they didn't know what to do. Meilin sniffed, "I . . . don't know what to do . . . this never happened to Sakura . . . how can I even begin to fight back?"
"You've gotta!" Keroberos-ette growled, she stood, wobbling slightly as she stood uncertainly on her four paws, "Because you can't let this . . . Clow . . . can't let this . . ."
Meilin blinked as Kero-ette's voice faded slightly, the lion sat back down, "Kero-ette?"
The lion-ette hung her head, "It's not right . . . the balance . . . the force . . . it's out of . . ." she shook her head as if to clear it, "It's not right, I can't. . ." she looked up at Meilin, pain in her beautiful golden eyes, "Even the sun need the moon, life is not complete with only the day, and no night . . . I . . ." she padded over to her sister, "I need her, Meilin . . . you've got to fight him, and bring her back . . ." the lion nuzzled her sister's cheek, "I don't wanna be in a world without my sister . . ." she snorted tearfully, "Or else I'll eat everything around with no one to tell me to stop!!"
The lion threw her head back and wailed as Spinel padded closer to her and leant toward her. "Oh, Kero-ette . . ." he murmured soothingly, "I'm so sorry . . ."
The room was silent except for Ruby's sniffles and Kero-ette's wailing. Meilin closed her eyes, as she felt Eriol and Sakura look at her. "I don't know what to do . . . I'm not a magic girl . . ."
"This is just so positively delightful . . ."
He stared at them over arched finger tips, his two evil guardians beside him, "Wonderful Master, the way you've got this planned down to a 'T' . . ." smirked Suppilita, she glanced at her brother, "Don't you think?"
"I think Mister T's really cool!" Rubix Luna enthused happily, leaving Spinellita shaking her head and Eriol Mark Two chuckling darkly. He glanced over to a box in the corner, it rattled and shook quietly, "And now she'll have to face something even more hideous . . ." he grinned nastily, "Well . . . we'll see how she handles this test . . ."
The box's hinges groaned, and the locks creaked as the thing within tried to get out.
"Because she'll need all her and her guardians' strength to get out of this little pickle . . ."
The Box growled, and jumped a few centimetres in the air, as Eriol Mark Two's laughter rang out.
"Meilin . . ." Syaoran held a cup of green tea securely in his hand, "I . . ." he knelt by her as she refused to lift her eyes, "Meilin, listen to me . . ."
"I've collected all the Whoops cards, what more is there . . .?!"
Syaoran frowned, and put his cup to one side, "Meilin . . ."
Meilin's shoulders shook, "I don't known what to do!! I can't save her!!"
"Meilin . . ." He murmured again, feeling despair well up in his heart too, Meilin had tried so hard, this was so unfair! The girl shook her head, and closed her eyes tightly, "I can't even save Yue-Bella . . . how can I even begin to save the world?!"
"Meilin, this isn't about how strong you are . . ." Syaoran shook her, "You've got to realise that all you need is the power to---"
"Kero-ette!!" There was a shout from the other side of the room, as a bright gold glow filled the room, and zapped out as soon as it came. Meilin looked up in time to see her second guardian slid to the floor, her giant golden wings dimmed, and her fur looking dull. "Kero-ette?" Meilin whispered, as she got to her feet. The lion struggled to get up once, but her feet slid from under her. "No . . ." Meilin cried out as Kero-ette's head hit the floor once more. "NO!!!"
Tomoyo and Sakura gasped as Spinel turned into his humanoid form and started to shake Kero-ette desperately. Kero-ette was unconscious . . . just like her sister!!
"Uh-oh . . . spaghetti ohhs . . ."
Eriol Mark Two sang evilly, as he sipped at his evil tea, brewed from the most evil of evil tea leaves, picked by the finest of evil hands, in the evil tea tree field of the most evil of countrysides in the evil country of . . . well, you get the idea, anyway as he sipped at his evil tea he glanced at his evil box. The evil creature within would truly test the strength of the card mistress, but it would only be . . . he grimaced as he had to think of the word, it would only be . . . fair, he stuck out his tongue as he thought of the word, if she had both of her guardians. Even though he as a truly evil little man, even Clow had a sense of – he grimaced again – fairness.
He couldn't just unleash it in the world, and expect her to fight it with both her guardians out for the count . . . that just would be interesting.
Rain poured down harder and faster.
Three hours later, the Cardcaptor and her friends were no closer to a solution than they were . . . uh, three hours ago. Ahem. Anyway. . .
Keroberos-ette and Yue-Bella's breathing was shallow, and fast. Their once brilliant whites and golds were dimmed, them magic in them was seeping out. Yue sighed, and stroked his sister's hair, as Ruby lay a blanket over her. Ruby sniffed, "Will she be okay?! She asked Yue quietly, as he pulled his sister's head further up his lap. Yue sighed, "I don't . . ." he winced as his hand began to appear to be whiter than his sister's hair, "I don't know . . ."
"Yue-Bella . . ." Ruby reached out again, and touched the moon guardian-Bella's lips, "Please . . . I love you, I can't lose you like this." The moon guardian growled, "I won't lose you like this!!" She clenched her fists, and stood, whirling to face her Master, "Eriol! Please, I will give my life for her!!" She made a swiping motion with her hand, "I don't care what happens to me, I care about her!"
Spinel got to his feet, and nodded, "Hai! I will give up my magic for Kero-ette as well!"
Eriol smiled sadly at his guardians, "You're being rash . . ."
"Mou!" Ruby frowned, and pouted, "Eriol! I love her!" She stamped her foot, "You would give your life us for Tomoyo-chan!"
Tomoyo sighed, as Eriol looked at her, then back at his guardians, "I know . . . but the only one who can solve this is Meilin . . ." he growled, and clenched his fists, "I can't tell you how much this irritates me that the git has the upper hand . . ."
A stuffed sheep baa-ed as it bounced off his head.
Eriol's lavender-grey eyes narrowed, "I'm fairly sure I wasn't this irritating when I was testing Sakura. . ."
Another stuffed sheep dropped on his head in reply.
Syaotang stared at Meilin, the little girl seemed much smaller, as she withdrew. It was all up to her, could Meilin do it . . .? he sighed, "Meilin?"
Meilin's hands clenched around her staff, "Yosh!" She nodded, "I've got to try something!"
Meilin walked over to the small pile of guardians, her red eyes narrowed, "O guardians of mine . . ." the others stepped back, leaving their siblings and loved ones in front of her. Meilin nodded, she stared at each's features carefully. Yue-Bella and Kero-ette needed her!
She closed her eyes, "I wish . . ."
Her magic circle began to glow with her magic, "I wish . . ." Meilin raised her staff, and brought it down on the magic circle, "I wish for you to be as you were . . . Release and . . ."
Meilin's magic circle faded. She lowered her staff.
"Meilin-chan?! Sakura called out, "Why did you stop . . .?"
The new Cardcaptor sighed, "It's not working . . . even I can feel that . . ."
Her guardians flickered with a little energy . . . and then dulled even more . . .
He smirked evilly as he raised his evil cup of evil tea to his evil lips.
And if anything, everything Clow did had to have a little bit of interest or there'd be no point to it . . .

[Cardcaptor Meilin – Eye catch!!]
"What can I do?"
Eriol sighed and rubbed his eyes, his pale face marred by the dark circles under the usually bright lavender grey eyes; to the others he simply looked very tired and worried. Tomoyo's eyes crimped unnoticed, she knew the truth, the truth about Eriol's tiredness. He was still recovering from the shock of losing such a precious descendant. He glanced at her, as he sat back in his favourite chair and then looked up at Touya. Touya sighed heavily and patted the back of Eriol's chair, "Kaijuu, there is no *one* answer."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean," Eriol sat forward, "I don't know what is coming for you, your cards and the guardians."
Sakura tapped her staff in her hand angrily, "I will not relinquish my cards, nor my guardians or any one of my friends. I will not *tolerate* another one of Clow Reed's enemies attacking them for some *petty* row."
Eriol let out a sharp sigh and pushed himself out of his chair, "You think Clow purposely sought out enemies for his *amusement*?!" He walked away, anger evident in his stance, "I do not *want* attacks on my guardians either . . ." He fumed as he paced back, "And I can not tell how much it angers me to think that anyone has power over my guardians."
"I want my cards back!" Sakura trembled with a deep rage, "And I intend to get them!"
"I. Do. Not. Have. Your. Cards!" Eriol spat angered, Touya sighed and rubbed his temples. He slid into Eriol's seat easily, and raised his hand, "Quiet." He blinked and looked around, at the various characters ". . . Uh . . . doesn't anyone else realise that this is a chunk of the wrong story in the wrong place?"
Sakura glanced out the window and gasped as a rather wet looking woman, and a black winged angel waved back at her. She opened the window, and the two humanoids and a dragon scrambled in. Shaking her herself off, Mystrasa Kyree groaned, "What in the hell are you doing here?!"
Meilin blinked as the old hag pointed at her, "What do you mean what *I* doing here?" The red eyed girl growled, and pointed at the Characters from In This Tainted Soul . . . There Lies Hope, "WHAT IN THE SEVEN CIRCLES OF TELETUBBIE HELL ARE *YOU* DOING IN *MY* FIC?!"
Hei-ying shrugged, and walked over to Eriol's desk, shaking awake a certain Author. "Excuse me, DrM . . ."
The evil doctor snorted in her sleep and sat up, unaware of the keyboard imprints on her cheek, "Wha . . . Hei-ying? Aren't you meant to be dead?"
The one eyed, evil version of Yue raised an eyebrow, "Yes . . . I'm also not meant to be in this story . . ." he pointed at the strange paragraph above, "Will you please fix it . . .?"
"Nani?" DrM blinked, and blushed deeply. "Uh . . ." she glanced about as Sakura and Kyree glared at each other, Meilin kicked the dragon's tail, and Hei-ying sighed and rested a hand on his hip, "Well?"
The author gulped and chuckled nervously, "Whoops . . ." she chuckled, "Didn't mean to do that . . ." Handily, DrM whipped out the Return card, and struck it with her trusty pillow, "Return card, restore this story to the way it was supposed to go!!"
The Return card rolled its eyes as it swooped about the place . . .
"What can I do?"
Meilin frowned and clutched her staff, "Is there a different incantation I've got to use to wake them up? What is it? What do I need to do to get them back?"
Eriol looked up from his book, and stared at her, "I don't know what spell he's cast, I don't know how to reverse a spell if I don't know what it is . . . for all I know—"
"Shut up, and stop giving me excuses . . ." Meilin shook her fist at him, "I don't want to know what you can't do; I want to know what I can do!!"
Syaoran grabbed her shoulder, "Meilin . . . we're trying to help you!"
"I . . ." the girl's anger bubbled and boiled over, "I just want to know what I have to do!! Why can't anyone tell me?"
Eriol looked back down at his books again, and sighed, Sakura went back to tending the fallen guardians, with Tomoyo. As Touya tried to sooth Yue and Ruby, Kero and Suppi sat by Kero-ette, and leant against each other.
Syaotang stared out the window, trying to recall every spell his mother, had taught him. He couldn't think of a damned thing. The little tango growled and clenched his fists. Why couldn't he be more helpful . . . he glanced at the reflection of Meilin. The girl was beginning to break down further.
"All the king's horses, and all the king's men . . ."
He plucked an evil donut out of his evil bag of evil doughnuts, bought from an evil supermarket, and bit into it. He chuckled as Meilin's shoulders shuddered as his cute little reincarnation told her once more that there was nothing he could do. He cackled as he watched her start to cry again, and all her little friends try to cheer her up again.
"Ha, ha . . ." he sang in a sing-evil-song voice, "You can't fix 'em, and you are gonna fail as a magic girl . . ."
He frowned as he realised that there was no evil jam in his evil donut, which he had plucked out of his evil bag of evil donut, bought from an evil supermarket. He growled and cursed the evil supermarket, from which he had bought the evil bag of evil donuts, from which he had plucked an evil donut which didn't have any evil jam in it.
"Damnit all to hell!!" He groused, "'Making life taste better' my evil cute little arse . . ."
The room seemed a little too full, a little too warm . . . it seemed like the air in it was crushing her . . . Meilin rubbed at her eyes, they were sore now from the coarse material of her sleeve brushing against them too many times. She stood and looked around, everything was a mess and there was nothing she could do to change it. She shook her head as she walked over to the window. She had to get out of here . . .
He leant forward in his Throne of Evil Mark Two, "That's it . . . run away, Meilin . . ."
. . . she couldn't handle it anymore. Her guardians were dying and she was powerless to stop it. With a cry Meilin threw open a window, and clambered up, "Butterfly card . . ."
Syaotang frowned as he watched her call out her wings, "Where are you going?"
"I . . ." Meilin refused to meet anyone's eye, "I need to get away . . . I can't do anything . . . I'm . . ."
His evil guardians smirked as they too leant forward and stared into the evil portal. He chuckled, "How right you are, go . . . say it . . . let me win . . ."
"I'm just so USELESS!!"
Meilin screamed tearfully as she jumped out and let her wings fly her away from the scene. Sakura ran to the window and lunged forward, "Meilin!! No!!"
Syaoran grabbed his girlfriend by the waist, "Let her go . . . she needs time to think . . ."
Straining at his hand, Sakura struggled, "But . . . but . . ."
"Don't worry . . ." Syaotang frowned furiously, as he climbed up too, he glanced around as he figured out a path to the ground safely, "I'll trail her . . . make sure she's okay . . ."
The three evil beings burst into laughter, clapping gleefully.
On the T.V, the video of Billy Connelly ran back, and the joke was replayed. "He's standing there putting on the rubber glove, twacking it like they do . . ." the long haired comedian muttered, as he made a motion with his hand, "He shoves his finger up my arse . . . without as much as by your leave . . ." there was a pause, as the man stared at the audience for a moment, "ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL'S THA---" The purple bearded comedian yelled at his audience, "HE'S FOUND A DEAD TREE AND RAM'ED IT UP ME ARSE!!!"
Eriol Mark Two sniggered, as the purple bearded comedian continued. He glanced somewhat disinterestedly over at his visual portal thingy, as Meilin landed in the park, with the rain beating down on her mercilessly.
"Mwha ha ha ha . . ." he chuckled evilly, "I'm so evil, evil dude, evil dude, evil dude!!"
//How could . . .//
She stood in the rain all alone.
//How could this . . .?//
Her uniform faded, her hair sticking to her head as the rain beat down on her.
//why? Why did this have to . . .?//
Her eyes were so filled with tears and her nose ran wetly, there was nothing she could do, as she slumped to the sodden ground.
//Why couldn't I stop it?//
Her hands clenched around her staff, and her cards. They were useless against the heavy weather as it taunted her. It was relentless, as it seemed to punish her for her failure.
//What can I do . . .?//
Her mind brought up the images of her fallen guardians again and again as proof of her failure. Her friends' faces as they looked at her in pity.
//What kind of magic girl am I . . . if . . .//
Meilin closed her eyes, and let go of her staff and cards as she ran through the rain, letting her most precious items slip from her grasp. She ran on, in the rain alone, determined to get as far away from them as she could.
// . . . if I can't save my friends . . .//
"Meilin!!"
The rain beat at his face hard, Syaotang ignored it and ran on. "Meilin-chan!! MATTE!!" He roared at the girl ahead of him, "Meilin!!" He clenched his fists hard and pushed himself further, //I won't let you get away, Meilin! I won't!!// he jumped over a huge puddle and wiped at his eyes, "Meilin!!" He murmured, "I won't let him defeat you, not after everything we've been through together!!"
He stopped as he came across Meilin's staff and cards. They were stained with mud, and like the guardians, were dimmed, as if they too were losing magic. "Iie!" He cried and picked them up, hugging them to his chest as he started to run after her again, "Don't lose hope in Meilin! She can do this!" He looked up, and sprinted as fast as he could, "Meilin-chan! Stop!!"
Meilin's shoulders slumped as Syaotang caught up with her.
"Why are you chasing me?" She murmured, refusing to turn to him. Rain dripped off everything. She clenched her fists at her side, as she heard him step closer, "What do you want?"
"I don't want this . . ." Syaotang's voice was quiet as he tried to catch his breath, "Maybe when I first came here I wanted you to fail but now . . ." he sighed, "Turn around Meilin . . ."
She shook her head, "I can't save them . . . I can't save you . . . I . . ." she growled and clenched her hands, "I can't save anyone . . . I'm not the magic girl!!"
"Chigau!" Syaotang's voice startled her, as he grabbed her shoulder and turned her, "Meilin-chan! You're wrong!"
Meilin's eyes were brimming with tears as she stared at him. He was soaked, and he looked tired. She hung her head, this was her fault again. "I can't do it . . ."
"Why not?" He murmured, and shook her slightly, "Tell me why not?"
"Because . . . because . . ." Meilin looked up, "Because I'm not a magic girl, Clow created one set of cards, and if they were meant for me . . . I would have had magic, I would have had the Clow cards, and Yue, and Kero, and Syaoran-kun would have kept our promise!!" Her breath hitched as she fell forward, and cried into his shoulder, "And I wouldn't have been alone for all this time, with everyone thinking I'm the idiot! I can't do things right! I'm not as athletic as Sakura-chan, I can't sing! Everyone . . . everyone!!"
Syaotang dropped his hand from her shoulder, and let her cry against him for a few moments, before speaking, "Meilin . . . Meilin, if you were Sakura-chan . . . then you would have done many of those things . . . but still . . ." he sighed, and held up his hands, staring at the dull staff and cards, "But still . . . Yue-Bella and Kero-ette believe in you . . . it took a little bit of time, but they came around to the idea of you being the magic girl . . . and then the cards, they believe in you . . . you managed to catch almost all of them because you are Meilin-chan . . ."
Meilin sniffed.
"At first, didn't everyone say 'oh, we're doomed, because Meilin's supposed to be the magic girl'?" paused and raised his hands to her shoulders to pull her back, "Meilin, have you listened? They don't say that any more . . ." Meilin's shoulders drooped, as she stared at him.
"No, but . . ."
"Sakura-chan loves you . . . she tries to film you every chance she gets, doesn't she? Why? Because she believes that you can do it!"
"Syaotang-kun . . ." Meilin shook her head, "That's only because—"
"Because they are your friends, and they've been with you every step of the way? Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol . . . no one says you can't do it anymore, because they know you can!"
Meilin shook her head, as he stepped back and pushed her staff and cards into her hands. "I can't do it. Everyone was right in the first place . . ."
"You're wrong Meilin . . ." Syaotang panted slightly, "You're wrong . . . it's time you realised, that you can do anything . . . you can be anything you want to be . . . not because you're a magic girl, but because . . ." she turned away from him but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him, "I believe in you! Kero-ette, Yue-Bella . . . they believed in you, are you gonna let them down just because you're a little scared?!"
Meilin blinked. //nani?//
Syaotang stared at her, as her red eyes began to widen. "That's it, isn't it? That you're afraid . . . that you're too stupid an-and . . ." Syaotang bit his lip, //forgive me Meilin-chan. . . I don't mean any of this but you need to snap out of this!// he closed his eyes and yelled, "That you can't do it because . . . because . . . BECAUSE YOU'RE SOME KIND OF REJECT?!"
Meilin yanked her arm from him, "NO!" She growled and turned fully to him, rain pasting her hair to her forehead, "A Li doesn't just let go . . . a Li doesn't just let the world get to them . . ." she frowned as her tears started to roll again, "I . . . I won't let you tell me that I'm dishonouring them, when I . . ." Meilin shook her head, and began to get angry and emotional, "Not when I tried so hard!!"
Syaotang took a step back as Meilin's scarlet magic circle began to glow, the girl paid no heed as she cried out, "Not when I fought everything and still carried on . . ."
Her magic circle began to spin slightly as her magic powered, "Not when everyone helped me no matter what . . ."
Syaotang smiled as the Meilin he loved began to fight back against her apathy, "Meilin . . ."
She clenched her fists and closed her eyes, "Not when Yue-Bella and Kero-ette gave me their friendship . . ."
He stepped forward and wrapped his arms, to hold her tightly, as she moved her hands to clasp them over her chest, "Not when . . . not when . . . NOT WHEN THEY NEED ME!!"
Their eyes burst open as the Magic Girl Card and The Music card exploded around them, a defiant magic girl song burst forward, as the magic girl started to repair and dry Meilin's costume. The Magic girl dried their hair, dried Syaotang's uniform, and gave Meilin a new costume. Bright red ribbons streamed away from her, as thigh high boots appeared on her, she was dressed in a striking metallic red costume, which had a top hat with two ribbons with buckles streaming away from it, a over coat with two long tails behind her, and under this she wore a top that bared her shoulders and stomach, but with long sleeves, and a small pair of shorts under a skirt that was long in the back and split into the front for better movement.
Meilin blinked as the Magic Girl card returned to its card form, and the magic girl continued to play defiant music in the background. Syaotang smiled, "See . . . even your cards believe you can do it!!" He curled a hand around her cheek, "Meilin-chan . . ."
She opened her mouth to say something, when her magic circle flared into life once more. Syaotang jumped back, "Meilin?! What's—"
The outer level of the circle flared, followed by each line, getting closer to Meilin. She gasped, and closed her eyes as magic began to roar all around her. "Meilin!!" Syaotang called out, he was forced to step back, as the magic lit up the night's sky. The rain slowed and started to stop as she held out her hands, her staff swirled in her hands. "It's . . ." Meilin smiled, "it's something I can do!"
Sparks of magic flew to a point above her open hands, and a new card began to form.
"Something that everyone can do . . ." she murmured as her eyes began to sparkle with warmth.
The card took shape, and glowed brilliantly for a moment.
"Something . . . that everyone needs to do . . ."
The card's glow died off, and it floated into her hands. She held it close to her chest and smiled as she hugged it. Meilin stared at him, before looking into the card contained in her hands. Syaotang approached cautiously, "Meilin? What is it?"
She nodded and looked up at him.
"Is it a new card?" He frowned as Meilin smiled, and motioned him even closer, "What do it do?"
"I don't know . . ." Meilin murmured, "But it's filled with love!"
Syaotang raised an eyebrow, "Meilin, are you feeling okay?"
"Hai!" She winked, "Because!!" She held out the card and showed it to him. "Because I don't know what it does but I think it might just do . . ." She blinked, as she felt Syaotang brush a lock of her hair – it was almost completely undone except for to loops of hair plaited into her normal buns – behind her ear, "Meilin?"
She looked at him, "Syaotang-kun . . . do you think it will do it?"
"Hai." He answered sounding very sure of himself.
Meilin felt a flash of doubt, "What if I can't use it?"
"You can, Meilin . . ." She glanced up to see him smiling, "Because I believe you . . . I believe you can do it . . . I know you can . . ." he smiled more as he cupped her check with a warm dry hand, "Do you know why?"
Meilin shook her head slowly.
"Because Clow Reed was an idiot, and you can't let him get the better of you . . ." Pausing, he smiled and continued in a softer voice, "Because . . . I love you . . ."
The red eye magic girl gasped quietly, as Syaotang leant forward and placed a gentle kiss against her lips. She squeezed her eyes shut as she felt him break off, and lean his forehead against hers.
"I believe in you Meilin, because I love you."
