A:n/ a quick summary of what happened last time:
"Any plans for today then Li?"
"Well, erm maybe we could go to the ice rink?"
"That's a great idea! I haven't been since the whole Clow card thing! My skating improved so much thanks to them."
"Mine too. I suppose I'll just have to beat you in a race…" He teased.
"You wish Li!"
They both started laughing. An awkward silence followed. The home phone luckily, broke it.
"Hello?" Sakura said into the receiver.
ON WITH THE STORY!
"Hi Sakura, its Madison. Are you ready to go out yet?"
"Just decided where we're going, why?"
"Well, where are you going?"
"The ice skating rink."
"Good…I think I'll open…locker number one! bye!"
"Thanks Madison. See you later."
She placed the receiver back on to the stand. She looked a little depressed.
"Hey, Sakura, are you alright?" Li asked, his voice showing concern.
"Madison just phoned. She's opened our lockers." Sakura whispered.
"Oh right, point taken." He joked.
They stood there, locked in their own little worlds. Sakura dreading the outfits that Madison had designed. She was scared that people would be giving her funny looks.
Then, the dreaded sound.
The vans were beeping.
(They both had that anime sweat drop thing)
"Well, best get this over with…" Sakaura mumbled.
They walked outside and entered the vans apprehensively. Sakura walked to the furthest end of the van once again, there was two doors unlocked. One of the lockers was empty (they had held the pyjamas) the other one was silently begging her to open it, and peer inside.
Sakura looked at the locker with a sense of foreboding. She remembered back five years, when the Clow cards were loose. Madison's outfits were outrageous, the battle outfits held their own authority and people would point when they saw Sakura in one, hopefully she still didn't have the 'stand out' style.
She slowly pulled the door open, and peered in. She jumped. Her breathing came hard and her heart was beating rapidly.
It was the pink outfit that she had worn when she faced the void card. Li had a matching suit in green.
She breathed in its scent, she could smell Li and he own magic.
It brought back a memory that Sakura had blanked from her mind. Well, now she had no choice but to remember it.
Flashback:
(This isn't what really happened, this is my own version-work with me pls)
Madison was holding her camcorder to her, she was recording Sakura and Li together.
"Smile Sakura, you look great!" Madison exclaimed ecstatically. She refrained from jumping on the spot.
"This is really embarrassing Madison, do I have to?" Sakura said downheartedly.
"Just wait until Li comes out! Of course he will never look as good as you!"
(Sakura falls over anime style)
After a few moments of waiting nervously, Li opened the van door, slowly and deliberately. He looked even more embarrassed than Sakura.
Madison squealed.
"OMG! It loos better than I expected! Ok, I want you two to stand back to back, Sakura with your staff and Li, obviously with your sword."
(They arranged themselves)
"Kawaii!" Madison screamed.
End of flashback 1-new flashback, after the battle)
Sakura and Li are standing side by side, staring at Tokyo tower.
"I'm sorry you lost Li." He voice was sombre.
"Well, it just shows that after all this time I was wrong- you are the stronger magician."
(Sakura cries)
"But what if I can't do it, what if I'm not strong enough?"
"You collected all the cards, you must be strong enough. Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to do it."
(He pulls her into a tight hug)
They stood there hugging for a long time. After a while however, Li released his grip and walked off, fast. Without a word.
-Madison's (hiding in the bushes) p.o.v
What the hell? They were hugging, then he left without saying anything…that's ruined my whole recording!
Sakura didn't know that Madison was there btw
End of flashback.
Sakura jerked back to reality. She put the outfit on. But there seemed to be something different about the hat, it seemed lighter and more intricately patterned. Maybe she had just forgotten, as she hadn't seen it for five years.
Little did she know that Madison had placed tiny cameras in the hats…
Madison began spinning in her egg chair, she was delighted to see that it had brought back memories.
The tape she had made that day, was probably her favourite recording of Sakura. She looked so adorable when she cried like that, and she was still surprised that Li did actually have a caring side beneath his cold and hard exterior.
But, it was still a mystery to her of why he just left like that. It hadn't been brought up ever since. But now Madison was going to bring back memories, just so that she could know.
She shifted her gaze to another screen, it was displaying what the camera saw in Li's van. He was putting the outfit on rather grudgingly, he looked like he wanted to kill someone. (Madison gulped when she saw him) so her plan had worked, it had brought back Li's memory too.
Madison sighed, as soon as they stepped out of the van, it would be up to Madison's bodyguards to record them, as Madison wasn't allowed to let them see her, she decided it would be too risky and so had told her bodyguards to do it for her. Her bodyguards had done a good job of placing hidden cameras (and yes, they cost the bomb)
Her bodyguards had placed cameras in Sakura's house when she had left the door open for Li. There were some in the front garden, and at least one in each method of public transport e.g. buses, taxis you know.
