Wow, it's been a while since I've written this up.

I am still utterly convinced that original!Syaoran's parents cannot be Sakura and Syaoran. Either that, or they are, and they adopted original!Syaoran, and I think their actual kid is Watanuki.
I still share this idea, though I don't know if I'm really convinced or just really hoping it's true!

I totally cracked up at the interaction of Touya and Syaoran, and all the glaring between their chibi forms. Hee!

[oyceter]

You have totally convinced me of your theory! And I think the manga is supporting it...

I cannot believe I forgot to write up all the posturing! So cute!

[rilina]

And the pinky promise between Sakura and Syaoran! I am such a sucker for pinky promises!

[oyceter]

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to write up the pinky promise too! So cute!

"LET'S HOLD HANDS TOGETHER AND RUN!!!"

I...uhm...have difficulty getting my brain past that point.

Really, they are just so blatantly shoving the cuteness at us to make us love and adore real!Sakura (which may be smarter than how they had real!Syaoran show up and suddenly the Syaoran we'd been following all this time was soulless and abandoning Sakura and she was heartbroken and confused and it made things difficult!

And this is why the number of Syaorans and Sakuras must remain at a 1/1 ratio. In fact, that may be the entire point of the series...

I know! They are just so cute! And I actually didn't mind original!Syaoran showing up and clone!Syaoran running off, since it meant lots of angst for both original!Syaoran and Sakura (she protects him even though he is not the Syaoran she knows! he tries not to touch her out of respect for clone!Syaoran!)!

Oh I know! I didn't mind because of the angst and I liked him and she still wanted Cloney and I'm shallow and petty and it gave him more angst but I suspect that it made some shippers upset.
