Just Like Old Times


In the art class, students are painting in the courtyard. Sakura is painting a fountain, but she feels disappoint at her painting.
Sakura	Hmmm, This is a tough assignment. I wonder how Eli is doing on his painting.
Putting ber brush into a backet, she walks to Eli.
Sakura	Hey, Eli.
Eli	Sakura.
Sakura	Can I see?
Eli	Yes, of course.
Eli shows Sakura his painting on the sketch pad, which looks almost real.
Sakura	Oh, my gosh! That's amazing, Eli. You're really talented!
Eli	Thanks.
Li who walks by see Sakura and Eli talking happily.
Li	Huh?
Sakura	I've never seen someone paint so well before!
Li	Ungh.
Li walks away. Eli notices him.
Sakura	What's the matter?
Eli	I think we were being watched.
Sakura	Oh, are you sure?
Sakura looks around trying to find who was watching.
Sakura	I don't see anyone looking our way now.
Eli	Haven't you noticed, Sakura? Li's always watching us.
Sakura	Why is that?
Eli	Ha ha, he thinks a lot to something.
Sakura	Oh!
Madison walks befined Li sitting and watching Sakura and Eli.
Madison	You seem so deep in thoughts. What's up?
Li	Uh, nothing. I'm just trying to make sensible of all the strange things that's goin on. That's all.
Madison	You sense the pattern you find it, just keep looking?
Li	Yeah, I'm actually quite worrying. The spell's been getting more and more powerful.
Madison smiles slightly.
Meilin	What are you sitting around?!
Madison	Meilin!
Meilin stomp into the place all of a sudden.
Meilin	Heh heh heh.

Back in the classroom, girls gather around Meilin who makes an unexpected visit to Reedington.
Madison	Do you know how long did she stay here?
Li	[Sweatdrops] I don't think very long. But you know Meiling, she must be with the accident. [Sighs]
Excited Sakura runs to the classroom, opening the door.
Sakura	Is Meilin here?
Meilin	Hi, over here. [Waves her hand]
Sakura hurriedly walks up to Meilin.
Sakura	Why are you here?
Meilin	Li said my friend needs a little help. I came stay in surprise. Heh.
Sakura	Oh, we got so much stuff to tell you. Want to meet after school today? Oh, I mean unless you have to do something else, like helping your friend or something instread.
Meilin	Heh ha ha ha ha. You have a lot to crack me up, and I came to help you.
Sakura	Huh?
Meilin	Yeah, I thought you could use my experties, you know what?
Sakura	Mmm-hmm. [Nods]
Meilin	Great! So then I'll meet you at the gate after school. See ya!
Sakura	Bye!
Meilin hurriedly walks out of the classroom, but she walks back.
Meilin	See you later, Li! [Waves hand] Heh heh. Bye.
Madison waves her hand back smiling.

In Sakura's house, Kero is playing videogame.
Kero	Ungh, kick, c'mon and don't you go down, great job... get aye aye aye aye...
Cell phone he has placed beside him rings. Kero busy with playing push the cell phone button with his hind leg.
Kero	What is the matter? This is imprtant. I'm just about to blast into Sacruny's face. What do you want? Take that!!
Sakura	Kero, you're playing the Space Destroyers?
Kero	Yeah, I almost get ten thousand. So I can't stop it!
Sakura	I just wanted to tell you I'll be home late. You see Meilin is in town. I'm going to hang around after school today.
Kero is still playing.
Kero	So Li's girlfriend is back.
Sakura	Yeah, just for a day or two. She thought we might need a help.
Kero	Grrr dah dah dah... What? We might her help?! You tell me when and we don't need anywayone's help. Especially not from some one like a girl who doesn't have magical powers! Dah! Get the cannon!
Sakura	[Sighs] You shouldn't be so hard on her, Kero.
Kero	Ahhhh!
Kero got shocked since his game is over at the score 9,999. Sakura sighs in hanging up the phone. At that time, Eli came climbing up the stairs behind her.
Sakura	Huh?
Eli	Hi, Sakura. I wasn't interrupting your call, was I?
Sakura	No, I just finished. What's up?
Eli	I was just wondering who was the girl in the class ealier? I haven't seen her before.
Sakura	Oh, that's Meilin Rae. Her and Li grew up together. She used to go to school with us. She had to return home because her grandmother was sick when I needed her help.
Eli	Really, is that so?
Sakura	We all go out to hang out today.
Eli	That's good to know.
Sakura	What?
Eli	Anyway, I hope you have a good time later.
Sakura	Thanks. See you, Eli.

After school, meeting up at the gate, Sakura's gang walk down the walk in the park.
Meilin	What are you smiling about?
Sakura	I'm so happy to see you again, that's all.
Meilin	Really, that's it?
Sakura	It feels like the whole gang is back together again. It wasn't the same around here without you.
Meilin	Yeah, when I think about it, I guess you miss me, too. So, you ended up being the master of all the Clow Cards in the end, didn't you, Sakrua?
Sakura	Yeah, heh.
Meilin stops walking and turns to Sakura.
Meilin	But Li said some really strangest things are still happening around here.
Sakura	Yeah, they are.
Meilin	So are you sure you can handle this on your own?
Sakura	Uhh, what is that supposed to mean?
Meilin	I just mean maybe I can help. I have trained much more than you.
Sakura	Meilin, you haven't changed a bit, have you.
The two girls resume walking.
Meilin	Why? What?
Madison and Li stand still seeing the two girl walk.
Madison	It's nice to have Meilin around again, isn't it.
Li	Mmm-hmm. You know what? As much as I hate to admit it. Yeah, I actually missed her when she got back home. Meilin is my really good friend. I just hope she'll know what she's getting herself into.
Madison	Well, I remember she took on the Fight Card.
Madison remember the capture of the Fight Card. In the scene Meilin jumps off the steetlamp.
Meilin	I'm helping Li now. So you take a hike, girl! [Point to Sakura]
Sakura	Heh heh heh heh.
The Fight Card jumped up from the channel, and lands on the fence. The Card leapt to attack in a quick move.
Sakura	That was close!
The Fight Card challenges to fight against Meilin instead of Sakura.
Sakura	It wants to fight her?
Kero	Yeah, let's hope she's as good as she thinks she is.
Meilin	Come on, give me your best shot!
Meilin blocks the Fight's attack, and kicks and blows it onto the fence.
Sakura	Meilin can fight.
Meiling	You obviously can't handle this as I can!
Fight jumps on its feet and restart attacking.
Meilin	Want to go again?
In turn, she attacks the Fight Card.

Madison	Meilin can handle herself.
Li	Yeah, I guess you're right.
When Sakura's gang walks in front of the penguin slide in the park, Eli lands on the gateway of the shrine.
Sakura	Hey, when we get home I'll show you what the Star Cards look like?
Meilin	Sounds good.
Furthermore, panther like creature (Spinner) jumps up the gateway. Sakura stops in sensing a strange presence.
Meilin	Hey, what's the matter?
Sakura	I sense he's here again.
Meilin	Who?
Ruby Moon appears on the roof of the shrine.
Sakura	I sense Clow Reed's magic.
Li	There are some magical powers here!
Sakura	Hmm!
Meilin	What's going on, Li?
Stone penguins decorated around the sandbox are vibrating.
Li	What's that?
Those penguins jumps up and circle around the penguin slide.
Meilin	Flying penguins!
The stone penguins fly toward Sakura's gang. They barely dodge, and it explodes when it hits the fence. The stone penguin are after Madison and Li.
Sakura	Keep running, guys! Go faster!
Meilin	I guess this is what's qualified. It's something strange.
Sakura	Uh-huh.
While making a run for it, Madison falls. Penguins are about to catch up with them.
Li	Look out!
Madison	Uhhh...
Li takes out his sword and incantation card.
Li	Element lightning, come to my aid!
The electricity shoots the penguin with explosion.
Li	Are you all right, Madison?
Madison	Yeah.
Li	Element lightning, come to my aid!
The penguins dodge the electricity this time.
Li	Darn it!
Instead of fighting back, they fly to Meilin and Sakura.
Li	Meilin, Sakura, hey, heads up!
Meilin punches and kicks the flying penguins made of stone. However, her punching the stone penguins hurts Meilin.
Sakura	Are you all right?
Meilin	Yeah, I'm fine. [Tearful]
Finally, the gigantic penguin slide hovers to prepare the attack.
Meilin	I could, but even send a chance against that.
Many stone penguins encircle the penguin slide.
Sakura	But where did they come from?
Meilin	You have quite a bit, penguins!
Li	Darn, if I got only to stop moving!
Sakura	We'll never be able to catch all of them. Thay're too fast. And I don't know of my magical powers that's strong enough to freeze time with the Time Card yet.
Meilin	Why don't they go back to the north pole all along! I got an idea!
Sakura	Huh? What?
Meilin	What about the Cards you captured at the skating rink? To wind up froze everybody?
Sakura	Right. The Freeze Card!
Sakura takes out the Star key, and enchants the incantation.
Sakura	Key of the Star, with powers burning bright. Reveal the staff and shine your light. Release.
Sakura grabs the Star wand.
Sakura	I call upon the power of my star. Ancient forces near and far. Freeze Card, tranform all your might, and draw your power from my might. Star Card!
The Freeze Card turns into its visible form as it flies thought the floating penguins. All the pentuins get frozen and stuck on the ground.
Li	Watch out! Element lightning!
The penguins, struck by the lightning, explodes.
Meilin	Li did it!
Sakura	No, we did it! Thanks to your quick thinking.
Li	That was nice work there, Sakura.
Meilin widens her eyes with surprise.
Sakura	That penguin gotta weigh a ton! Whatever moved it it must be really powerful!
Madison	Yeah.
Sakura	Hey, Meilin, are you okay?
Meilin turns silent.
Sakura	Meilin, you didn't get hurt, did you?
Meilin	Huh, oh, no, I'm fine. No worries!
Sakura	Oh, that's a relief.

Meanwhile, Eli is standing on the rooftop of a builing dressed in a robe, holding his staff.
Eli	So that girl knows all about the Clow Cards. Hmm, that's very interesting.

Madison	Huh? Sound like some one's coming!
Sakura's gang looks all around the big mess they made in the battle.
Sakura	Uh-oh. Ruuuuuun!
The four gang make a run hurriedly.
Sakura	I think we rust them.
Li	[Pants] Yeah.
Sakura	I could have sworn we heard foot steps. They sounded so close by. I wonder why they could have gone.
Li	Maybe the same person who made the penguins move. Now that I think about it, Sakura. Every time something strange like this happens there aren't any signs of people arouind it all.
Sakura	Can someone meke everyone disappear?
Li	Only if he's a powerful magician.
Sakura	You mean someone like Clow Reed.
Meilin is depressed.
Madison	Meilin.
Meilin	Hmm?
Madison	Sakura and Kero had a feeling that Clow Reed's magic is near by.
Meilin	How can that be?
Madison	We are not sure.
Sakura	We'll figure this out.
Meilin	I'm leaving tomorrow.
Sakura	Too bad. I sure wish that you could stay a while longer.
Meilin	Well, then, I'll just have to make sure I'll come back again soon. Or maybe you guys visit me some time. I would show you around the city.
Sakura	Okay!

That night, Li and Meilin are talking on the balcony when Wei is making tea.
Meilin	Now it just turned out to be the way you thought it would. I mean with the Clow Cards and everything.
Li	No, not really. But it's all right.
Meilin	Well, you may not be the master of the Clow Cards, but... I'm proud of you.
Li	Really?
Meanwhile, Eli accompanied by the gurdians, swings his staff.
Ruby	Why are you interested in the boy?
Eli	Hmm. [Chuckles]
Meilin and Li are talking.
Meilin	You're lucky.
Li	Why?
Meilin	Well, because... you're needed.
Li	Wh-what do you mean?
Meilin	You're a descendent of Clow Reed. Your magic running through in veins. No matter what happens, who the master is always have a role to play in the history of the Clow Cards.
Meilin stretches her arm upward.
Meilin	Huph... hmmm... It's the big responsiblity, Li.
Li	Uhh... Uh.
On getting back inside, Meilin quickly sips the tea made by Wei.
Meilin	Thanks for the tea! [Grabs her bag]
Wei	Where are you going?
Meilin	To Madison's. I'm sleeping over there tonight.
Li runs after Mailin to the entrance.
Li	Meilin, wait! You're needed, too.
Wei	Have a good night.
Li	Look, I'm sorry I never told you that.
Meilin	No, you don't.
Meilin angrily went out for Madison's house.
Li	Uh...
When Li's about to chase her, Wei hold him to refrain.
Wei	[Shakes head] Let her go. She's stronger than you think.

Next day, at the airport Li and Wei are seeing Meilin off.
Wei	Never doubt yourself, Mailin. It's difficult for Li to tell you how much he appreciate your friendship, but he does.
Meilin	I know. Hey, Li, don't just stand there, come say good-bye!
Li	Hugh... Y-yeah, sure!
Meilin	What's wrong? Can't find your tongue?
Li	It was kind of fun having you round again. And you really helped us out. You're really bravest there.
Meilin	Really? It's about time. Why do you take long to tell me that? I know you got magical powers and all. I got you kickboxing match any day and don't you forget it!
Meilin is so fierce that Li shrinks.
Meilin	So see you later.
Li	Bye, Mailin.
Meilin	Bye, Li. Bye, Wei.
Li and Wei see Meilin gets down the escalator.
Wei	Well, this girl is a little spitfire. Wouldn't you say so?
Li	Yeah.

Several days later, Sakura and Madison are in the courtyard.
Sakura	Meilin sent me a letter.
Madison	Me too, I got an e-mail yesterday.
Sakura	What did yours say?
Madison	Now, she and Li worked everything out.
Sakura	Good.
Madison	So what did yours say?
Sakura	Li told her that even though Meilin did not come from a family with magical powers, she is still a part of the Clow destiny just like the rest of us. You never know who might be the one that makes the difference in the end. You know she really is a good friend.
