Arigatou, minna. -Meimi Translation by Meimi (KSaintTail@aol.com) May 8, 2000 * On page 51, where the woman from the movie is talking, I'm mostly guessing that's the point she's trying to get across. ^^; She's saying more literally that trying to find her would be like trying to find no ice in a snowstorm. %thoughts (side notes) [narration] $flashbacks ------------------------------------------------------------ pg 37 Kaitou Saint Tail Sidestory Two A Christmas Present pg 39 Box: This story takes place after Meimi and Asuka Jr. returned from Rosemary's place...
