60. Sakura and Her Precious Friend

Sakura: What's wrong?
Eriol: Someone was watching.
Sakura: Who was watching, Eriol-kun?
Eriol: I think he was looking at you, Sakura-san.
Sakura: Me?
Eriol: Oh, dear, so this is how the situation is.
Sakura: Hoe?
Tomoyo: Too bad about yesterday.
Syaoran: About what?
Tomoyo: Just as you were to confess to Sakura, Kero-chan interrupted. So…when are you going to tell her?
Syaoran: I won't. Not yet. There are other reasons why I couldn't tell her last night. I have to do something first.
Syaoran: A promise. Until I found someone I loved more, Meiling will be my fiancée. But…
Tomoyo: You have to let Meiling-chan know about your feelings.
Syaoran: I phoned her last night. I told her that we have to talk about something important the next time I see her.
Tomoyo: Did Meiling-chan ask what it was about?
Syaoran: I told her that I didn't want to talk about it over the phone. And that she'll understand when we see each other.
Tomoyo: I see.
Syaoran: I have to explain it to Meiling. After that, then I'll tell her.
Tomoyo: When are you going to see her?
Syaoran: I'm returning to Hong Kong for the winter break. I'll tell her then.
Meiling: As if I was going to wait that long!
Syaoran: WAAAA!
Tomoyo: (surprised) Meiling-chan!
Tomoyo: She must have left right after you called.
Syaoran: Meiling didn't want to wait until winter break.
Sakura: Meiling-chan!
Meiling: Long time no see!
Sakura: Why did you come?
Meiling: There was something I needed to do, ne, Syaoran?
Rika: Ne, how long will you be staying?
Meiling: I have to go back to school, so I have to go back tomorrow.
Everyone: Eh?
Sakura: Tomorrow?
Chiharu: That's too soon.
Sakura: Then are you free today? Let's do something fun after school? Ah! But, but...you said that there's something important that Meiling-chan has to do...so I guess not.
Meiling: (Laughs) You haven't changed at all, Kinomoto-san!
Sakura: Hoe?
Meiling: Okay, then. I'll meet you outside after school.
Sakura: Un!
Chiharu: I'm sorry, but I have swimming class today so I can't come.
Naoko: I have piano.
Rika: Me, too. Will you go with Meiling-chan for all of us?
Sakura: Un!
Meiling: Okay then. I'm going to say hello to Terada-sensei. I'll see you later. Syaoran! I'll be back soon!
Kero: What is it? I'm busy right now! I don't have time to talk.
Sakura: Kero-chan, are you playing video games again?
Kero: Sakura? Why don't you call back later?
Sakura: Meiling-chan is here, so I'll be home late. Can you change the message on the board for me?
Kero: Oh? The little girl is back?
Sakura: Yeah, but she's going home tomorrow. So we're going out today.
Kero: Say hello to her for me. And tell her she has to stop by so she can see my cool true form sometime.
Sakura: (Sighs) Don't forget the board, ne?
Kero: AAAAAAAAAH!
Sakura: (Sighs)
Eriol: I'm sorry, did I disturb your phone call?
Sakura: No. I just finished.
Eriol: Earlier, there was someone in class I've never seen before. A girl with long hair.
Sakura: Li Meiling-chan. She used to be in our class. Before she returned to Hong Kong, she used to sit on Eriol-kun's seat. She's Syaoran-kun's cousin.
Eriol: Is that so?
Sakura: We're going out after school.
Eriol: Take care.
Sakura: Eh?
Eriol: It can get dangerous when it's darker.
Sakura: Un! Thank you!
Meiling: What's with that smile?
Sakura: I'm just happy to see Meiling-chan again!
Meiling: Ha? Just because of that?
Sakura: Its not "just because of that". I'm really REALLY happy to see Meiling-chan again!
Meiling: Oh. Well…I'm happy to see you again, too…I heard that you're the new Clow Card Mistress now.
Sakura: Yeah.
Meiling: But strange things are still happening?
Sakura: Yeah…that's true.
Meiling: Is that really okay? Kinomoto-san, you're so "oyayan".
Sakura: What does "oyayan" mean?
Meiling: Oyayan is oyayan. Just what it sounds like.
Sakura: It still sounds a bit strange…
Meiling: It's like…how do you say it in Japanese…
Tomoyo: You'll tell her today? Meiling-chan, that is?
Syaoran: I know how she feels…it would be like breaking our promise if I didn't tell her. I owe it to Meiling.
Tomoyo: That's very nice of you. I can understand now why Meiling-chan loves you.
Sakura: Ano ne! There's this new place that serves the best juice!
Meiling: Eh?
Sakura: Let's go there to catch up!
Meiling: Sounds good. What's wrong?
Sakura: I can sense Clow-san's aura.
Syaoran: There's a powerful presence here…
Sakura: Un!
Syaoran: What is it? AH!
Meiling: What's going on?!
Sakura: Tomoyo-chan…Syaoran-kun!
Meiling: This is one of those "strange happenings", isn't it?
Sakura: Un!
Syaoran: Watch out! Ha! Rai tei shou rai! ["God of lightning, descend!"] Are you all right?
Tomoyo: Yes.
Syaoran: Rai tei shou rai! Kuso! ["Damn it!" or "insert your fave expletive here"] Meiling! Sakura!
Meiling: Itaaaiii!!!
Sakura: Are you okay?
Meiling: Yeah. Thanks. I can't beat that thing!
Sakura: There's still more of them!
Meiling: I can't fight all of those either.
Syaoran: Kuso! We have to find a way to keep them still.
Sakura: Wood won't be able to hold all of them. I don't know how long I'll be able to hold time still… I don't know…
Meiling: AAARGH! Why does this have to happen when it's cold? Ah! That's it! Use that!
Sakura: That?
Meiling: The card you caught at the skating rink! The one that turned everything to ice!
Sakura: Freeze! O key that hides the power of the stars! Reveal thy true form before me. I, Sakura, command thee by our covenant...RELEASE! Card made by Clow, listen to my words and be reborn. Become as I, Sakura, commands thee. FREEZE!
Syaoran: Not yet! RAI TEI SHOU RAI!
Meiling: YATTA!!!
Sakura: I'm glad that Meiling-chan remembered!
Syaoran: Meiling, Sakura, are you okay?
Sakura: I'm fine, Meiling saved me. Tomoyo-chan, are you all right?
Tomoyo: I'm okay.
Sakura: Oh! Meiling-chan, are your hands okay? Meiling-chan! Are you hurt?
Meiling: Huh? I'm fine! Fine! I'm okay!
Sakura: I'm glad.
Eriol: Today you were saved by the advice of the girl from Hong Kong…
Tomoyo: Someone's coming!
Sakura: Hoeeeeee!!!!
Sakura: I guess we're going to have to skip that juice.
Syaoran: Yeah.
Sakura: But, why didn't those people come by earlier? They were right behind us.
Syaoran: Whatever was controlling those penguins must have kept them away. Come to think of it, no one is ever around when those strange things happen.
Sakura: Is that possible?
Syaoran: He must really be a very strong magician.
Sakura: He must really be strong. Hoeeee…
Tomoyo: Meiling-chan? I consider you as one of my best friends as well…
Meiling: Why are you?
Tomoyo: Because...Whatever happens, I'll be there for you.
Sakura: Meiling-chan, what time is your flight tomorrow?
Meiling: 10:00 in the morning.
Sakura: Is that so…because of school, I can't see you off.
Meiling: We'll see each other again. Japan and Hong Kong aren't too far apart. We can see each other if we need to.
Sakura: Un!
Meiling: What is it that you wanted to tell me?
Syaoran: I promised that when I found someone I loved more, I'll let Meiling know.
Meiling: Un. Did you find her?
Syaoran: Yes.
Meiling: I see. (Sighs) Kino…moto-san?
Syaoran: How?
Meiling: You called Kinomoto-san "Sakura". The only girls you call by their first names are me and your sisters. Ja! The engagement is over then. Gochousama. ["Thanks for the food/tea/etc"]
Wei: Where…
Meiling: Daidouji-san's house. I want to talk to her some more.
Syaoran: It's late already.
Wei: Syaoran-sama.
Syaoran: Wait then, I'll go with you.
Meiling: I'M FINE!
Syaoran: Meiling…
Meiling: I'll be fine. I'll take a taxi. Please pick me up from there tomorrow. Good bye.
Wei: You should let her go.
Meiling: How could he? I…I loved Syaoran more than anything in the world! I tried too hard to not let anyone else have him...But the worse part is...I really like Kinomoto-san, too! I like Kinomoto-san, too… She's so kind. If Syaoran loves her, then there's nothing I can do…but… BUT I CAN'T STOP CRYING! It's not helping… And I can't hate him, no matter what happens…or Kinomoto-san…
Meiling: Ne, are my eyes swollen?
Wei: No, they're as beautiful as ever.
Meiling: Syaoran! Why are you standing all the way back there?
Syaoran: No…ano…
Meiling: Aren't you here to see me off? So, have you told Kinomoto-san yet? That you love her?
Syaoran: No…
Meiling: Not yet? You're hopeless! She won't know until you tell her! And since you chose Kinomoto-san over my incredible cuteness, I won't forgive you if you screw this up! I'll see you later, Syaoran.
Syaoran: Meiling…
Meiling: Make sure you come home for winter break!
Syaoran: Meiling!
Wei: She's really a very sweet girl, Meiling-sama.
Syaoran: Yeah…
Sakura: Ne, I received a letter from Meiling-chan!
Tomoyo: So did I.
Sakura: What did she say?
Tomoyo: "Sorry for falling asleep on your lap."
Sakura: Hoe?
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan, what did she write to you?
Sakura: Because I'm so "oyayan", I should pay more attention to what's happening around me. Meiling-chan's worried that I'm going to miss something very important. And at the end, I don't know how to pronounce it or what it means, but…I'm sure it's something wonderful! I'm so happy!
Meiling: To the hopeless Syaoran, I wish for nothing else but your happiness.
Syaoran: Meiling…
Meiling: My dearest and most precious friend, Li Syaoran-sama.
