It's been a hellva long while but . . .
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!!
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!!
Ahem, also apologies for parts of this, not only was I listening to Gundam Wing music, but also I stopped to watch a Jackie Chan movie, I love both, both bring out bad dialogue outta me . . . particularly the Jackie Chan dubbed movie.

Whoops! Didn't Mean To Do That . . .
Series Zero.Three
By Dr Megalomania.
{A Single, Crimson Lotus Petal Lands On Seemingly Pure White Water . . .}
[Cue Platinum And Meilin Singing Third Season Song]
I am the 'captor . . .
Look at my power!
In this world, things will happen . . .
But not to worry, we can take it on . . .
Remember, that you and I . . . we are stronger together!
So whatever blunder we must face . . .
Whatever mistake of Clow's . . .
We will face it and we will win!
Whatever comes . . .
Promise me.
We'll face it, together an' then go for ice-cream!
Oh, Come with me,
Trust in me,
What have we got to lose? Oh, what the hell!
Come on, let's go!
Come on! With me . . .
Cardcaptor Meilin!
"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.
He smiled, "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."
Meilin's mouth fell open, and she stepped back, "Syaotang-kun . . . I . . . you . . ." Meilin could feel her heart welling up with happiness, and love. She grinned, and grabbed his hand, "I—"
"Meilin-chan!!" Nakuru's voice pieced the air, and the two teens jumped apart. Nakuru wheezed a moment, and grabbed Meilin by the arm, "What's the big idea?! We got worried about you!!"
"I . . ." Meilin began, but Sakura landed nearby and ran over as well.
"Meilin-chan!" Sakura pressed her hand against her heart and sighed, "You're okay!" She sighed happily, and threw her arms around her friend's neck, "Thank goodness."
Tomoyo arrived shortly afterward, and pressed her hand against . . . her video camera, and pressed record, "So wonderful!! Our magic girls comfort each other in this time of need!"
As more of the group arrived and gave her various greetings, Meilin looked around for Syaotang. She spotted him, and he smiled at her sincerely. Meilin smiled back, "Right!" She nodded to him confidently. His small smile filling her with energy and warmth.
Sakura blinked and stepped back, "Meilin-chan . . . you're . . ."
Meilin glanced at her, winking and flicking her nose playfully with the new card. "I'm ready to fight on, Sakura-chan! Because I've got a brand new spell to remember!!"
The group looked at her with puzzlement, before Syaoran ventured to ask, "What is it?"
Meilin grinned smugly, making eye contact with Syaotang, "Clow Reed is an idiot, and I'll never let him get the better of me!!"
Eriol slapped his forehead, Sakura and Tomoyo focused their cameras on the latest magic girl, and the rest just sighed heavily. Syaotang smiled, // that's why I love Meilin . . .//
He fought to suppress a giggle as Meilin threw back her head and laughed out loud.
"OH HO HO HO HO HO HO HO!!"
~Part Twenty: Make A Wish With All Your Heart, Meilin!!~
"Doesn't this ruin your plans?"
Eriol Mark Two shook his head and folded his arms as he leant against the tree, "Nope . . . in fact it will make it even better . . ."
Spinellita smirked and glanced at him. They had decided to follow the Cardcaptor out this time, so Eriol Mark Two had stopped the mood enhancing rain so he wouldn't get his nice robes all wet. Rubix Luna gawked on at the scene, "Heeeeey . . ." he muttered, "I just noticed something . . ."
"What is it?" Eriol Mark Two raised an eyebrow at his daft moon guardian.
"That Eriol kid looks like Eriol Mark two-sama . . ."
Spinellita slid out of the tree, and even Eriol Mark Two went stiff with shock as Rubix continued, "And now I mention it . . . that Nakuru looks a lot like my false form, Nukara . . . and her full form looks a lot like me . . . and Spinellita?" He blinked as his sister crawled her way back into the tree, "Did you notice that that Spinel looks like you too?"
"Mas-Master?" Spinellita stuttered, "Wh-what?"
Eriol Mark Two clapped a hand over his eyes, "I knew I shouldn't have made him while I was watching Big Brother on TV . . . That programme always makes my mind switch off . . ." He sighed as his two guardians started to bicker. His grey lavender eyes narrowed as he focused on Meilin, as she excitedly showed off the new card she made. "So . . ." He murmured to the girl, even though she couldn't hear him. "You've made a shiny new whoops card . . . question is . . ." He waved a hand, it glowed dark purple with magic, "Can you use it?"
"Can you use it?"
Meilin blinked and glanced up at Touya, "What?"
He blinked, "What?"
"You asked me something." She frowned, "What?"
Touya's nose wrinkled, "I don't remember asking you anything . . ." He folded his arms, and glanced at everyone else, "What?"
Yue shook his head; "You did ask if she was able to use it . . ." He looked at Touya hard, "Don't you even remember that?"
Touya's blue eyes widened, "No . . ."
Yue pressed his thumb against his lip, "Could it be . . .?" He began to chew the nail, "Or maybe . . ."
Kero frowned as he looked up at his brother and his irritating habit; the lion opened his mouth to tell him to cut it out when—
"For Gods' sake Yue, stop biting your fingernails!" Two sets of voices suddenly yelled out, one being Eriol and the other echoing around them. Yue blinked and hurriedly pulled his thumb from his mouth, and glared, "Who was that?!"
Eriol frowned, "It sounded suspiciously like me . . . again . . ."
"Master . . ." A deeper version of Ruby's voice rang out, "Have you noticed that you're just like That Eriol Over---"
The group spun on masse and looked around, "Clow!!" Meilin suddenly called out, she swirled her staff over her wrist, and clamped it in her hand. "Come out!!"
There was no answer, but out of the corner of her eye she saw some movement in the bushes. "There!" Meilin called out, as she shot off to see what it was.
Yue quickly took off, and landed on the other side, hoping to trap whomever it was, he drew his arrow and bow and took aim. "Show yourselves!"
Meilin growled as she pushed through the thick foliage, "Damnit!" She heard Syaotang swear, "They're already gone!" She sighed, as she turned back, and jumped out of the bushes. She glanced over at Yue as he lowered his arrow and bow. The white angel looked a little haggard, Meilin sighed, and at least he was still alive. A small bit of pain bit into her heart. //Yue-Bella . . .//
"So . . . Meilin," Tomoyo pressed her hand against her cheek, "Can you use that card . . .?"
Meilin shrugged, and threw the card into the air. "Let's see . . ." She raised her staff to tap it, but frowned as it sorta just flopped to the ground with a bit of a thud. "I'll take that as a 'no', then shall I?" She complained to the card. Meilin looked up, "I think I'm supposed to use this card to bring Yue-Bella and Kero-ette back but . . ." She sighed, "I just don't know how to—"
"Yue!" Eriol snapped again, "Will you cut that out!" The reincarnation of Clow steamed, "That's such an irritating habit!"
The moon angel sighed, and pulled his thumbnail out of his mouth again, "It's not my fault . . . you gave it to me!" The angel folded his arms, "I can't help it!"
Eriol shook his head, and mumbled about something, while Meilin stared on at the two. "What do you mean?" She asked, a very small idea beginning to form in her mind. Eriol shrugged, and pointed at Yue.
"I made him, but unfortunately you can't make anything absolutely perfect –"
Yue muttered something that sounded like, 'Ahem, living proof standing here!'
"-- so I had to put little faults into every creations . . ." The blue haired magician folded his arms, "With Kero it was a love of pudding, with Yue here it was chewing his fingernails when he's thinking . . ." His lavender grey eyes narrowed, "Which at the time, I didn't realise it was so irritating . . ."
Yue looked like he was fighting the urge to stick his tongue out at Eriol. Meilin blinked, "Did Clow also create Yue-Bella and Kero-ette . . . the cards . . .?"
Eriol raised an eyebrow, "Well . . . yeah . . ."
"Really?" She looked at the card, "So he would know how *everything* works, right?"
"Uh . . ." Eriol frowned as he tried to see what she was getting at, "Yeah . . ."
"So . . ." Meilin grinned and looked up, "If I went back in time and asked him how to make this card work, then he would be able to tell me how to make it work and fix up Kero-ette and Yue-Bella?"
"Erm . . ." Eriol nodded, he raised and eyebrow and folded his arms, "Yeah, you could . . . or you could save time and ask me . . ."
Meilin pointed at him and grinned widely, "Better idea!"
"Worse!"
Eriol Mark Two scowled down from the rooftop, "Damnit . . . He can't be allowed to tell her! It will mess up everything!!"
"Not to mention the whole point of this story!" Spinellita nodded, "Master . . . what are you going to do?"
Eriol Mark Two stroked his chin, "Let me think . . . I have to get Eriol away form Meilin some how . . . or at least knock him unconscious . . ." He glanced around, and spotted something he could use. A wicked grin started to spread over his lips, "Rubix . . . go grab that!" He pointed at the item; "We're going to pay the two poor sickly guardians a get well soon visit!"
Rubix blinked, "That big rock, Master?" He frowned, "Wouldn't it be better to bring flowers?"
"Way to go blowing the suspense and mystery, moron . . ." Spinellita growled as Eriol Mark Two slapped his forehead.
"Let's just go . . ." Eriol Mark Two groaned, as he pulled out his big staff, "Just get going already!"
"Well, if we're going to access Clow's memory, let's do it somewhere drier . . ."
Tomoyo suggested, as Sakura shivered. The other girl nodded. "Good idea, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura raised her camera and started to record Meilin again, "It's nice to see your passion is still alight, Meilin-chan! Keep it up!!"
Meilin grinned, "I'm going to win for once!" She nodded, "And I'm going to get my guardians back!" She pulled out her staff, "Butterfly card!" She threw the card into the air, "Give my staff wings, so we can get back in time!! Release and Displace!!"
The magic streamed away from the card, and wrapped around her staff. The butterfly wings flapped once, with a poof of purple magic, the cards and staff evidently feeling the same passion as Meilin.
The red-eyed girl grinned, and climbed on, "Syaotang-kun! Let's go!"
She held her hand out to her friend, and he climbed on after her. She blushed as he tightened his hold on her waist, "Let's do it!!"
"Help me keep my camera on Meilin!!" Sakura threw her own card in the air, "Fly!!"
White feathers fluttered out of Sakura's back, and she flapped her dainty wings once, lifting herself off the ground gracefully, "And Kero-chan, I'll leave Syaoran-kun to you!"
"Why me?!" Kero growled, "Why him?! He'll just ruffle my feathers! Why can't Yue carry him?!"
"Because I can't fly right with people!" Yue roared back.
"You liar!" Kero turned on him, "I used to see you flying with Clow—"
Eriol held up a hand, "Yes, I think we've had this argument before . . . besides, you –" He pointed at Kero, "--have to carry my cute little descendant because Spinel is carrying Touya back . . . unless you want to carry Touya back . . ."
Kero thought it over, "Nope . . . Yue will just keep trying to find stupid excuses to fly close to me so he can make out with him!" He sighed heavily and presented his back to Syaoran, "Climb on kiddo!"
Eriol Mark Two grinned immorally, "MWHA HA HA HA HA!!"
He and his guardians flew far above the Cardcaptors and their little group. He smirked as he watched Eriol motion his darling Tomoyo over, and cast a spell over his staff. He was about to crow happily at the evilality of his plan when he noticed that Eriol was going to ride his staff.
"Hey!" Eriol Mark Two complained, "How come his staff has rockets and mine doesn't?!" he growled and shook his fist, "Injustice! Rubix, drop that rock . . . I've got a new plan!!"
Rubix – not being the brightest of all the guardians – did exactly as he was told and let go of the huge boulder. It dropped and landed, I'm happy to report, on a Nelvana censor, who was about to suggest that they remove Yue from Cardcaptor Sakura and replace him with a winged Mister T, in an effort to create more PC in the programme.
Eriol Mark Two waved his hand as Eriol took off, "Take this! How dare you have a better staff than me!"
Eriol smiled as Tomoyo held on to him, "Just keep a hold on me, okay?" He nodded, and brought the nose up a bit so he was level with Meilin's staff, "We'll have tea and some crumpets before I explain it!"
"Un!" Meilin nodded, she grinned, "Finally something's going my way!"
Tomoyo sighed happily, "Sakura-chan!! You're so cute as you try to capture Meilin's Kawaii-ness!" She sighed again, and wrapped her arm around Eriol and shifted slightly to pull her other hand up to keep her camera on Sakura. She blinked, as Eriol's staff bucked, "Eh?"
Eriol swore quietly, "What the . . .?" he frowned, and tried to gain control over his staff again. It bucked once more, and the rockets started to splutter, "HEY!"
Tomoyo cried out, "Eriol! What's happening?!"
"I don't—" Eriol gasped as the rockets exploded with huge plumes of midnight blue and dark purple smoke, "Ruby!" He roared, as the staff began to fall, "Grab Tomoyo!!"
The butterfly girl gasped, and grabbed Tomoyo's outstretched arms, "Eriol!!" She cried as her Master, began to fall with the staff, "MASTER!!!"

----------------------------
[Cardcaptor Meilin – Eye catch!!]
The card captors and their friends dived after Eriol as the blue haired magician plunged toward the ground. Yue grabbed Syaotang off the back of Meilin's staff, and she pulled out the bounce card, "Bounce!!" Meilin hollered as her wings fluttered and grew out of her back, "Bounce Eriol to safety!! Release and Displace!!"
The card dived down after Eriol, and the group held their breathe. The card landed below the magician, and cushioned his fall . . . unfortunately it forgot to take into account the laws of physics, and the fact that a body in motion tends to stay in motion . . .
Ruby and Spinel winced, as their Master sailed off the cushioned fall, and slammed into a nearby wall. "Ouchies . . ." Ruby muttered, "That's gonna leave a bruise . . ."
The group landed and ran over as Eriol slid down the wall, "Eriol?!" Tomoyo screamed as she ran over to him, "Eriol?! Are you okay?!"
The lavender grey eyes were glazed over and crossed as Eriol sat up, "I'm fine, Miss Daisy . . . Please may I have another scone, please . . ." The reincarnation hiccupped and fell face first into a puddle.
Meilin sighed, and shook her head as Touya leant over and helped Ruby to carry her dazed Master. "Looks like I've gotta do it the hard way . . ." she sighed to herself; she glanced up at the sky. "Thanks, Eriol Mark Two . . ." She muttered scornfully.
"My pleasure . . ."
Eriol Mark Two folded his arms as he sat in the tree, and grinned. "No one gets the upper hand on Clow, not even his reincarnation!" He smirked and tossed a glance at his guardians as they nodded their approval. Spinellita looked at her Master, "So what now, Master?"
"Yeah, what's are we going to do tomorrow night?" Rubix grinned. "Narf!"
Eriol Mark Two raised an eyebrow, "Yes . . . I think we've established that that joke isn't funny anymore!" He crossed his legs and stared down at them, "Now she'll have to go back to Clow's time . . . and find out . . ." His grin widened, "How unhelpful I really can be . . ." He smirked as the group made their way back into the mansion.
"Sakura thought I was confusing when she went back . . . wait until Meilin finds out . . ."
Eriol groaned as they lay him back on a sofa.
Meilin sighed and looked at her own guardians, they seemed to be turning grey now. She knelt by them, touching their foreheads gently, "Don't worry . . ." She petted Kero-ette's muzzle, "I'll try my hardest . . ." She laced her fingers in Yue-Bella's pooled hair, "And I will get you back!"
The two barely stirred at the magic in her touch. Meilin stood, and turned, "How do I do it then?" She pulled out her cards, and stared at them all . . . every one had changed aside from the Happy and Anti-Happy cards . . .
"Which card should I use . . .?"
A glowing started under her feet, and her magic circle appeared. Meilin gasped as the cards started to float in a square around her . . . then rearranged themselves to do a bit of synchronised floating, and finally settling into a circle. Meilin blinked and smiled.
"Okay . . . so, gang? Any suggestions?"
The cards floated peacefully for a moment, before rushing themselves into a huddle above her head. After some sparks, and fits, and some pushing and shoving, the cards came to a decision. The What If, and Hole cards floated down and presented themselves to her.
Meilin blinked, "I've got to use you two . . ." The two cards glowed and floated near to Eriol favourite chair, Meilin frowned as they landed on the red chair, "What's this got to do with Eriol's chair?"
Sakura clicked her fingers, "I know!" She pointed; "I had to use the cherry tree to go back in time . . ." She looked at Meilin, "So maybe you've got to use the chair!"
Meilin rolled her eyes, "Fuzzy logic . . . don't you just love it!" She sighed and walked over, "Okay . . . what do I need to do to get this chair to work?" Meilin gasped as other cards got behind her and shoved her into the chair. The red-eyed girl giggled, "Hey! That tickles!!"
She pulled up her staff, and shifted so she was sitting comfortably, the What If and the Hole floated in front of her. "Okay . . ." She murmured, "Okay . . . I can do this . . ."
Syaotang frowned, "I'll go with you!"
"No . . ." Meilin shook her head, "I'm going to do this alone . . . I can't take the chance that I might not be able to get both of us back!"
"But what if . . ." He clenched his fist, "What if you can't come back!"
Meilin winked, "Then I'll just have to make sure I do!" She nodded, "Don't worry, Syaotang! It will be okay because . . ." She swirled her staff around her wrist, "Not only was Clow an idiot . . ." The magic started to gather around her, her magic circle glowing as it began to appear beneath her again, "But I've got too many people who believe in me . . . to just let them down . . ." She nodded decisively, "I can do this because . . ." She smiled at him, "You believe in me . . ."
Syaotang bit his lip, and looked away, "Come back to me."
"I promise!" Meilin held out her free hand, and he grabbed it, lacing their fingers together, "I promise to come back or I'll let Madison haunt me forever!"
He smiled, "okay! It's a deal!" He let go and stepped back, as Sakura came over and got one more shot.
Meilin laughed, "I'll be back soon!" She smiled, and raised her staff back, the two cards in front of her glowing very brightly now. "What If . . . I could use the Hole card to take me back in time to ask Clow how to use the New Card . . . and then come back, using the Hole card as a time portal?!"
A hole began to form under the chair as she brought her staff forward hard.
"What If!!"
The card exploded and twinned with the hole on the floor.
"Hole!!"
The chair began to sink as she made contact with the two cards.
"Release And Displace!!"
Swirling colours surrounded her, and strange music played . . .
"Let's do the Time Warp again . . . Let's do the Time Warp again . . . It's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right . . . With your hands on your hips You bring your knees in tight . . . But it's the pelvic thrust . . . That really drives you insane-ane-ane-annnne!!"
Meilin's eye twitched as the music stared to fade away.
"Let's do the Time Warp again . . .
. . . Let's do the Time Warp again . . ."
"Fine then!"
"You do that!!"
"I will!!"
"FINE!!"
"OKAY!!"
Meilin blinked as she came back into awareness, she got up from the red chair, and walked over to the door, where the loud argument was taking place. It sounded like Yue and Kero were arguing . . .
"GOOD!!" Yue roared, "JUST DON'T BLAME ME WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN ON YOUR HARD AND STUPID HEAD!!"
"IT WON'T AND THEN YOU'LL BE BEGGING ME TO LET YOU IN!!"
"I WON'T!!"
"YOU WILL!!"
"YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT, KEROBEROS!!"
"I'M NOT, YUE!!"
"YES, YOU ARE!"
"NO, I'M NOT!!" Keroberos hollered back, Meilin opened the door a little to see two small versions of the guardians running about, Yue looked to be about Meilin's age and Kero was smaller, and lanky. Yue was very red in the face from yelling so much, and his voice was beginning to sound a little hoarse. Kero's voice was already rough, but the lion continued to yell, "You're the idiot, because you're a scaredy cat!!"
"I'm not! You're the wimpy scaredy cat!!" Yue stamped his foot, and spun, "And I'm above such childish arguing, you big fat smelly moron!"
"What are they doing?" Meilin wondered quietly to herself as she watched them. She frowned a little as Kero retorted louder, forcing Yue to whip out another childish insult.
"They are arguing . . ."
A gentle voice from behind her observed, before adding, "I would have thought that that was obvious . . ."
Meilin spun to find the man himself standing beside her. Meilin gasped, "Clow Reed?!"
He hummed as he dipped his head once, "Yes . . ."
Meilin fought down the urge to kick the man, reminding herself that she had already taken the chance to kick him several times before. She glanced at Yue and Kero as their argument got louder, "They seem a little calmer when they are older . . ."
"That's because in the future they will have fully matured . . . now . . ." He tipped his head as Yue grabbed Kero's tail, and the lion chomped his teeth into Yue's long hair. The two chased each other in a circle, yelling at each other loudly. "Now they are still children." Clow smiled as he stepped forward, reaching into his cloak's depths. Meilin reached out.
"Clow, wait . . . I want to ask . . ."
He paused and turned, as he pulled out a card, and pressed his finger to his lips, "Shhhhh. . ."
Meilin blinked, and stepped back as he threw up the card. "Shout card, if you please . . ." Meilin clapped her hands over her ears, as she remembered what this card was used for.
"NOW THEN. . . WHAT IS ALL THIS RUCKUS FOR?!"
Yue and Kero froze as Clow's voice boomed around them. They let go of each other and clamped hands and paws over abused ears, "Clow!!" They wailed, "He started it!!"
Meilin opened her eyes again, and found herself sitting in Clow's study, as the man worked quietly alone. He put down his quill and looked at her expectantly, "What is it you came to ask?"
"Yue . . . and Keroberos are gone?" Meilin blinked, and looked around, "Where are they?"
"Yue and Kero aren't talking to each other, and are sulking . . ." The man chuckled, "And by extension this means they aren't talking to me either . . ." He waved a hand, "So, you've got my full attention."
"Well, I came to ask how I could fix my guardians . . ."
Clow blinked, "Keroberos and Yue are ill?" He frowned, his glasses falling off his nose, "I never created them to fall ill."
"Not ill . . . one of your reincarnations has caused them to become comatose, and I want to save them!" Meilin stood, "Please help me!"
Clow chuckled and pushed back from his desk, and leaned in his chair, "Really? Is Eriol that troublesome? Heh, heh . . . good, good." He tipped his head, "No doubt then, Sakura, that this is a test . . ."
Meilin's eye twitched, "Clow, I'm not Sakura . . ." The man frowned, his recently replaced glasses falling off again. Meilin sighed as she explained, "I'm Meilin, and I'm Cardcaptor of the Whoops cards . . ."
"You what?!"
Meilin dropped her head to the table, "I accidentally opened the book."
"Didn't you read the back of it?!" Clow muttered with frustration, "I put instructions on the back!"
"Yeah . . . but Eriol forgot to tell me . . ."
Clow shook his head, "Ah, well . . ." He sat forward, "Well . . . I don't know what guardians you are talking about then."
"What?!" Meilin lifted her head and stared at the man, "don't you know who Yue-Bella, and Kero-ette are?!"
The magician shook his head, "Not a clue . . ." He held up his hands, "I guess you've come back a little too early . . . or possibly a little too late . . ."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Meilin dropped her head back on to the desk and sighed, "Why me?"
"Well, you see . . . it could be that I've already made them, and sealed them away in a book . . ." Clow nodded, "I'm quite clever like that, you see."
"Clever, he says . . . he says he's clever . . ." Meilin muttered to herself as Clow walked around his desk and walked over to his modest library. Meilin sighed, and got up to drag herself over to his side. Clow smiled, "It will only take a short time to check . . ." He grinned and pushed the double set of doors. "Now let's see . . . what would I put guardians under . . ."
Meilin lifted her eyes to see how many books they'd have to go through.
"Oh . . . no . . ."
Her red eyes widened as she took in the three stories high, several aisles-filled personal library. She felt a whimper push past her lips, as she took in the millions of books. "Clow . . ."
"Hmm?"
"Why me?"
"I don't know . . . I thought it would have been fun . . ."
Meilin closed her eyes and sighed.
She opened her eyes again, and found herself sitting with Clow in his window seat.
"Clow?" The magician looked up from his book, "Yes . . . uh, Marin, did you say your name was?"
"No, Meilin." She corrected, "And by the way, Marin is the water fortune lady you peeved off in China!"
"Oh yeah . . ." He muttered, "Well then, what's is it Meilin?"
"Well . . . if we didn't find the guardians—"
"Actually I just gave up after two hours, and flipped us here to this point in time . . ."
"Fine, fine, if we couldn't find the guardians that you've already made, then . . ." She looked around, "What are we going to do about my guardians . . ."
"Meilin . . ." Clow slid from his seat, and stood, "Perhaps I should show you what to do . . . let's see . . ." He took out his key, and changed it to his staff, "Let's see . . . what cards have you got again? The Whoops?"
Meilin pulled the cards out of her pocket, "I collected them all. See?"
"Okay . . ." He held out a hand and the cards floated out of her grasp to circle him. "Hello cards." Clow smiled happily, "How have you been?"
The cards paused and formed a large hand to slap the back of Clow's head.
"Still feisty I see . . ." He muttered, righting his glasses, "okay, let's do this thing . . ." He glanced around the cards as they went back to floating around him. "Meilin, to make your guardians come back . . . you just need to believe in yourself . . . take the What If . . ."
The card floated above the rest, and started to glow. Meilin blinked as she heard the Music card begin to hum something exciting. She glanced back at Clow, who nodded, "Yes, and The Magic Girl would be helpful . . ." He turned, "A personal favourite, I always like to look my best."
Meilin nodded absently, as the magician reached into his pocket, "Now, this is the hard bit, I assume you know the Cardcaptor."
"Sakura?" Meilin nodded, "Yes!"
"Good, you'll need the Create card from her, and finally . . ." He reached out his hand, "You'll need something special, something only you can do . . ." The strange new card Meilin pushed forward, and floated to him. Clow gazed at it gently, "Perfect . . . Okay, the rest of you . . . hurry along now, go back to Meilin." The Whoops cards piled themselves orderly, and floated back to Meilin. The girl stepped back as Clow swung his staff. "Music . . . come back here please."
The Music card sprung up and into her form. Clow smiled fondly, "Now the thing is, Meilin . . . everything you do must be done with all your heart, or else . . ." His magic circle began to power up, "You won't be able to make it come true . . . it's a lot like wishing, ne?"
"Ha-hai. . ." Meilin murmured as the song began. Clow began to hum, and smiled as he cast the spell. He tapped the various cards, with a large smile on his face, calling out to Meilin, "I always loved making the guardians!!" He cried out as he started to dance in time to it, "It was always so much fun!!" He grinned, "Come on Meilin!! Find a song, and dance to it!"
"You're an idiot, Clow!!" Meilin called back, but laughed and started to dance with him. She gasped as the guardians began to take form, Clow's voice ringing out. "#With the power, about to bubble from my hands, they seem to be heading somewhere. Riding the wind...#" He grinned and swung his staff to tap the create card, and feathers filled the air, "#It's all right! It's all right, it's all right, it's all right!#" He jumped and slammed his staff against the Magic Girl, the air began to fill with sheets of material, and ribbons, "#We'll bring about miracles! Here we go! Let's go, let's go!!#"
Meilin laughed as she dodged Kero-ette's helmet as it appeared and flew toward the gold set of feathers begin formed. "Clow!!"
The magician didn't pay any attention, "#Let's go and spread our wings! I'm sure something . . .#" He spun again, and took a few steps back to tap the What If card, "#Something is waiting somewhere, For that day to come#" He jumped again, as the wings of the two new creatures spread, and Yue-Bella's long hair spread around the place, as Kero-ette's golden feathers mixed with slivery, the two smiled briefly as their wings contracted around them again, "#Do! Do! Do! Dreaming! Dreaming!#" Clow spun one more time and raised his staff above the last card, "#And then the door opens!#"
The two guardians glanced at Meilin with a look of surprise, for a moment, before their eyes closed and they drew their first breaths. They disappeared from sight, becoming balls of feathers once more. Meilin smiled happily, as Clow's magic began to power down and he stooped to pick them up. The two guardians had shrunk to baby size. Clow knelt by Meilin and showed them off.
"And that is how you make guardians . . ."
He smiled gently as Yue-Bella's tiny fist came out and grasped Kero-ette's tiny tail. Meilin smiled, they were going to be okay. She swallowed and looked up at him, gasping with surprise as she noticed that the room had faded. "Clow?"
"It's time for you to go home now, Meilin . . ." Clow had turned a suddenly transparent colour, he smiled, "And remember all you've got to do . . ."
She closed her eyes as she felt herself being pulled back.
"Use the Create, What If, Magic Girl . . . and now, your new card . . . The Wish . . ."
She felt the cards in her pocket, smiling as the cards gave her a warm feeling.
"Find a song deep inside you . . ."
Meilin felt a smile grow on her lips as her feet touched the ground.
"And wish . . . wish with all your heart, Meilin . . ."
"Well, it's all coming to an end . . ."
Eriol Mark Two slumped down into his Throne of Evil Mark Two and gazed at the Fireplace of Evil Mark Two. He sighed, and smiled slightly, looking at the evil box that was still rattling in the corner of his room. Spinellita smiled, "Are you ready, Master? For the end?"
He nodded, "Of course . . . But it's more a question of . . ." He stared at the visual pool thingy he used to watch everyone with, "Is Meilin ready?"
-----------------------------------
And now it's time for Leave It To . . .
Suppilita: Spinellita Sun, Eriol Mark Two's Smarter Guardian . . . I'm here to issue an apology on behalf of Doctor Megalomania . . . For the massive delay, you see . . . the Official Reason is because my brother, who is indeterminately, inexplicably and bafflingly stupid, accidentally tripped and pulled out all the main power to the studios here, therefore causing a massive power cut . . .
[Sounds of DrM swearing in the background]
Suppilita: but in reality Doctor Megalomania just got very lazy, very busy, and finally very behind on her real life work as a film studies student . . .
[Further Sounds of DrM Swearing in the background]
Suppilita: So the lesson to be learnt from this everyone is . . .?
[Even More Sounds of DrM Swearing, and now sounds of her hitting her head repeatedly against a wall]
Suppilita: Yes, it's learnt to do your work at the right time!!
[Sounds of even more swearing and harder thuds against the wall]
Suppilita: well, hopefully we'll see you next week, Until then, please Review this fic that you've read!! Thank You!!
[Sounds of DrM swearing one more time really loudly]
Suppilita: That's another Chapter of Whoops, Didn't Mean To Do That . . . Hon-na-na!!
