Hi, my name is cardcaptor_girl and this is my first fanfic AUTHOR’S NOTES: Hi, my name is cardcaptor_girl and this is my first fanfic. So don’t judge me too hard, ok? This is Meilin/Li fanfic, so for all of you S+S fans, sorry, wrong road. Not that I don’t admire S+S couple, because I do. This story is from Li’s POV, and I used English names in here. And one more thing: Li here, is a little bit out of character. HERE IT GOES: “THE ALTERNATE BIRHTDAY PRESENT”. CHAPTER 1: “D” is for Dork Hello, my name is Li Showron and I am a dork! The dorkiest of them all. The biggest dork in the whole world! And you wanna know why? Because I uhh... I... I don’t even know where to begin. Well it all started this morning, it was about ten thirty. The sun was shining; the sky was blue like a glass... Everything was perfect. Oh did I mention that it’s Meilin’s birthday? Yes indeedy, it’s her birthday! And guess what? She forgot about it! She forgot about her birthday. It was definitely the first time something like that happened to her. Meilin always remembered her birthday. She counted every single day until it would come. It was always like that, but not this time. For some reason she just...forgot. I know some aged people forget their birthdays sometimes, because they...well – aging! And those people just want to forget for once that they are getting older and older. But Meilin, she was always so excited to get a little bit older. It meant so much to her always, and I ruined everything...But let’s not get in the way of the story. So basically, Meilin thought that this day would be just another day, like all the others. Actually it was regular day for me too, because – stupid me! I forgot that it’s her birthday!!! Sakura called me at ten thirty and asked me if... well you better hear the whole conversation, how it was: “Li? Hi! How are you?” she had this happy voice of hers, I could hear Kero screaming, while playing a video game. “Sakura? Is everything ok?” “Sure, everything is just fine. So how is Meilin? Is she happy today?” “She is ok, I guess...” “Li? Who are you talking to? Is it Avalon again?!” I turned around and there she was, Meilin, standing, and looking at me as if I done something wrong. I just ignored her and went to my room with the phone. “Hurry up Li, the breakfast is ready, I cooked it!” Meilin said proudly. “I’ll be there in a couple of minutes.” I said calmly, knowing that she heard me. “So uh...what’s up Sakura?” I turned my attention to Sakura. I was wondering why she called me. She never called me on the weekend. And I never called her at all. “Umm...nothing much, I just wanted to know what present you got her, that’s all.” “Present? Why would I give her...” silence, “Oh no! I forgot!!!” I was in real trouble, but not as real as the trouble that was coming by later. “You didn’t!!!” Sakura was devastated. “I’m sorry...” that’s all I could say. “You are sorry? What are you apologizing to me for? Meilin is the one that is going to be crushed. When everyone will be giving her their gifts she is gonna ask you what did you get her and you’ll say ‘Meilin I am sorry, but I didn’t get you anything. It’s not that I don’t care about you it’s just that I FORGOT!’” Said Sakura with a sarcastic tone in her voice. “Sakura, I don’t know what to do here, ok? And your sarcasm is not going to help me! What do I do?” “Ok, uh... I’ve got an idea. Meet me in a half an hour at my house. And don’t mind my brother; he has a bad mood today.” I felt a sweat drop in the back of my head. “All right then, I’ll see you in thirty, Sakura. Bye.” TO BE CONTINUED... AUTHOR’S NOTES: well I hope you liked it. I hope you were intrigued. I hope you won’t judge me hard, because it’s my first fanfic. It’s like a poem! LOL! Anyways Read and Review! Please?
