Sakura and her Precious Friend

Remembering his promise to Meilin that he would be her “fiancé” until he found someone he loved more, Syaoran calls her to tell her that he is in love with Sakura, though he is taken by surprise when Meilin arrives in Tomoeda for the day. While Meilin spends the day with her old friends, the group is attacked by a set of enchanted penguin statues at the playground. Acting upon Meilin’s advice, Sakura transforms the Freeze card and uses it to freeze the statues, allowing her and Syaoran to defeat the penguins. During the incident, however, Meilin realizes exactly why Syaoran called her. Seemingly accepting of the matter, Meilin breaks off their “engagement;” in reality, however, she is heartbroken and visits Tomoyo upon her suggestion to bawl over it. Feeling better, Meilin encourages Syaoran to confess his love to Sakura as soon as possible, since Sakura would never know about them otherwise, before leaving the next morning, and leaves a cryptic message for Sakura indirectly stating she should pay attention to Syaoran’s feelings.
